Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[LucyJ]

I'm feeling alright I seem to be getting hungry more often and if I dont eat regularly I get a bit nauseous and dizzy but apart from that just really tired oh and thirsty I'm drinking a lot more than I normally do. I'm a little emotional bit scared but trying to take one day at a time and hoping for the best.

 

[heart tree]

I know I shouldn't be mad about this, but it is CD 10 and I just got my first high on my CBFM. FUCK! I'm going to OV before the friggin holiday. I had fantasies of having a week off where Tim and I could BD at our leisure every day. Now, I'll probably Ov on Wednesday with my luck. Crap, crap, crap. Any advice?

 

[msarkozi]

Allie - I am wondering too if it isn't IB?! I so hope it is!!

not much longer and we will know about Meggles as well

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. I am going to do a little baking today, and I think do a little more work as well. Try and get some more procedures done (I am really hating this!). Other then that, I don't plan on doing much at all!

A high doesn't mean that you're going to ovulate that soon. But, no advice really... You just have to take it as it comes. You can still BD at your leisure over the holiday, even if O has already happened. I mean... No rules against having fun... unless you're me and the doctor has specifically ordered "no fun"! LOL

I like the "not doing much at all" bit... the procedures sound like crap though! The baking... it worth it when it comes out of the oven! LOL

Allie the only times I got spotting was when I wasn't using the cream, or when I was pregnant. If I wasn't pregnant, and I was using the cream, I never spotted. What year were you in SF? We had a really rainy winter in 1997-1998 that they called El Nino. We don't get snow, but our winters are fairly rainy. The snow happens up north in the Sierra mountains. The last few years we've been in a drought. Our water reserves were getting very low and there was a lot of concern. But last winter we got a ton of rain and it seems like this winter will be even more. It's great, we need it. Plus, there are barely any seasons here. Being from Massachusetts, I'm used to very distinct seasons and I miss them. This rain at least gives the sense of a season.

I shouldn't even call it baking....a girl at work LOVES my confetti squares that I make, and so at this time of year, I always make a tray just for her. So that's what I will be doing. I usually have a ton of Christmas baking, but I didn't do any this year. I am debating if I should make a couple other simple things though. Go through my recipes and see what is quick to make. I usually take 2 full trays out to work with me of all my baking, and they just love it. I also give it out to friends. So I kinda feel like I am ripping people off.

Megg, I've only used the CBFM twice now. Each time it gave me 4 days of highs before my Peak. I seem to Ov on the same day as my first peak.

Here's the thing I'm a little worried about though, The first time I used the CBFM it was getting to know my cycle. I read that it will give you many days of highs the first time as it gets to know your cycle, then the next time you don't get as many days of it.

Well...the next time I used it, (last cycle), it was my first cycle of using Femara, so I reset the whole machine. Therefore, it was like I was a new user again. This cycle would almost be like my second cycle. My CBFM learned my last cycle and in theory should be giving me fewer days of highs based on what it learned from the last cycle.

But you are right, I have to take it as it comes and can certainly BD during the holiday. I'm just so damn anxious to get pregnant! Well, Tim is already pawing at me today, so BD is definitely in the future today. I'm sure I can convince him on Tuesday and then definitely on Thursday. Hopefully the Peak will wait until Thursday at least.

 

[LucyJ]

Go get him hearty I'm sorry its not quite as planned but look at you getting a high on CD10 thats good hope you get lots of in now and over the holidays hope you catch that egg. Try and relax and have fun

 

[heart tree]

I know, you are right Lucy. I'm trying to reframe this whole situation to be more positive about it! A high on CD10 is like striking gold for me. And, it isn't likely that I'll be ov'ing tomorrow which is usually what happens. In the past, I would always seem to Ov on a Monday when we were both too tired to BD. We both know the holiday break is in 4 days, so I think we'll both be fairly relaxed this week anyway. I just checked my CP and CM. CP is closed and CM is sticky. Ov is not happening in the next couple of days. Whew.

How exciting for me that it might happen on CD 14 or 15 though!

 

[Megg33k]

That is a really good sign, Hearty! I mean, the timing might not be great... but ovulating so early is really a nice change of pace for you!

 

[cazza22]

Hellooooo my gorgeous disco divas, just a fly by visit to give out some hugs & kisses I'm absolutely full of flu & chest infection like the worst kind everrr (my lee keeps saying it's like man flu babe) I swear I could punch him hahaha!! and every time I cough I get a stitch sensation in my pelvic area like pullin it hurts for a second or so it's driving me mad. Does anyone know what I can take that won't hurt bubs? Paracetamol won't shift it & can't get in docs untill Wednesday ggrrrr!

Hope ur all surviving the snow in the UK? 4 more inches tonight GREAT!!! Can u tell I'm in a moaning mood lol xxxx lov u all millions xxxx

ps thanks for the FB adds Meggles n Sparkly mwah xxx

 

[Megg33k]

Sorry you're feeling so rough, Caz! No clue what you can take though!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Paracetemol only hunny, take it regularly with lots of fluids and rest. Fingers crossed you get better soon xxx

 

[cazza22]

Thanks girls sniffle sniffle lol xxx

 

[LucyJ]

Caz I don't know what you can take could you ring your midwife and ask her advice? Hope you feel better soon.

I didnt know you were on facebook must of missed that somewhere do you mind if I add you or you can add me if you would like my email is [email protected]

I feel really bad my mum's just spent ages cooking a roast and I ate my veg and spuds but couldnt eat the meat and then thought everything else was going to come up then had to go lie down as I thought I was going to pass out poor mum she understood and didnt mind now I feel hungry and dont know what to try and eat.

 

[Allie84]

Lucy, the nausea is a great great sign. I know your mum definitely understands, but I'm sure it kind of sucks though.

Cazz, what is your first name? I'll try to find you via Megg and Sparkly, or you can find me, I may be their only FB friend called 'Alana.' I'd love to have you on FB and I don't mind baby pics and chatter at all.

Hearty, woohooo on your CD10 peak! If your cycle goes as before you won't ovulate until Thursday. That gives you plenty of days of seduction ahead, and probably some BDing over the weekend for good measure! I guess my advice is maybe don't tell Tim yet! He probably isn't expecting it so soon so you can enjoy some of that pressure free sex for a few days. And yay for ovulating earlier, that is amazing!

Allie the only times I got spotting was when I wasn't using the cream, or when I was pregnant. If I wasn't pregnant, and I was using the cream, I never spotted. What year were you in SF?

I was there in January of 2009. It wasn't cold, but it was rainy and windy the whole time. But hey, if you need it, then that's good!

 

[cazza22]

Allie & luce I've just sent u both a request on FB xxxx lov ya's xxxx Caz

 

[heart tree]

Cazz, sorry you feel like poop. No idea what you can take.

Lucy, I agree with Allie, the nausea is a great sign. Honestly, you are doing great with all of your symptoms so early in the pregnancy. I think this little one is getting ready for a long stay.

Allie, you are right, I'm not going to say a word to Tim. I think I can casually get him to BD this week. It's not like he's against BDing, he just gets worn out. Damn him being 41 LOL!

You were here January 2009. I have almost no recollection of that season. I had my first mc on December 24, 2008. Then Tim and I moved from SF to Berkeley 3 days later to be in a bigger house for the baby. Then 2 days after that we flew to Hawaii for New Year's to have a late honeymoon (4 years late!) I was so depressed I barely remember any of it. I do remember that the weather reflected my mood. I remember thinking how glad I was that it wasn't sunny. So we probably did have a lot of rain that month.

Oh, and SF is extremely windy. I honestly don't know why they call Chicago the windy city because SF is the windiest city I've ever been to. I wear a hat every day of the year, otherwise my hair would be a mess! Luckily I love hats so I don't mind!

Girls, I think Cazz wanted to stay somewhat private in regards to FB and B&B which is why she hasn't told us her first name. She said recently that if you wanted to be her FB friend, you could PM her.

 

[heart tree]

Ooops, ha ha, there she is! I guess she added you as a FB friend. Hi Cazz!
