Thanks for sharing Amber! My sister gained some weight after high school and that's when her symptoms started. She was just recently diagnosed though and she is 24. She just had her first natural period in over two years so hoping it happens for her soon!

I totally saw something on the last one Muffin!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

If we don't hear from you before then, I hope the party goes great! Be sure to share pix of the announcement shirt! ;)
 
Amber - I cannot believe what you have been through!! That is awful! So awesome that you are now preggers and have so many fun and exciting times ahead!
Muffin - can definitely see a line in that pic!! Woohoo!! Can't wait to see tomorrows pic :)
Corn - I'm thinking I will test at about the same time, really feel for you, lots of emotions and hormones still around for you xxx good luck!!
Everyone else, :dust:
 
Ashley - for me with cervical mucus it is there when I wipe during my fertile period, so I'm pretty lucky that it's easy to tell when it is there. GL over next few days, exciting for you to have a plan this cycle and fingers crossed you get your sticky bean

You do whatever you need to :hugs: I'm glad you're back. Everyone needs a break at some point or another.
Lots of :dust: hope you catch that eggy


I just did off of what was in my panties, but there is a way for you to check it internally. You use your middle finger to lightly rub against the cervix and "scrape" off the CM :shrug: that's the best way I can describe it.


Hey Ashley around O time I have a good amount of cm whenI wipe and some may even be in my undies...I have a lot of EWCM when Im getting ready to O...for some strange reason I always look in the toliet while im using it around O time and I can even see the EWCM coming out (sorry tmi)...I guess I don't have a problem with cm :winkwink: lol

Ashley- I'm a cm checker it usually comes out if it doesn't I see what what I can round up inside lol!! But since I've been bf the baby i haven't had ewcm just watery maybe it'll work, who knows..

I'm a strong believer in intuition! I kinda had a feeling I wouldn't get a BFP my first cycle. I was so skeptical through my 2nd cycle because of all the "wrong" symptom spotting from the previous cycle lol. But the sore boobs around 6 DPO definitely tipped me off. I have a good feeling for you for this cycle too :flower:

I never really produced enough for it to show in my undies, so I had to check internally. Just wash your hands then stick a finger in, find your cervix, and swipe across to bring down whatever cm is on/around there.

Thanks so much for all the replies ladies! I never notice anything in my underwear so I guess I will try checking with my finger. I've never done it before though, haha. When do you start to check? Around the time when you start using OPKs?
 
Muffin - I can so see the line on the last picture you posted!!

Disney- I don't think I ever said congratulations! But I am so happy for you!
I hope that my gut is right this cycle too lol. I have been just trying to relax and just go with the flow as much as I can while still "trying".

DH and I made a nice reservation at a cute Bed and Breakfast in Wine Country for June 20th-21st. My dad will be watching our dd overnight so it will be nice to get away lol :haha: I'm sure I'll have already Ovulated by then but I'm hoping that just getting away with him will relax us both and kind of take the stress off of everything.
 
jessa~ how are you? are you feeling any better?

Hey - UTI is still there but no way near as bad!! (thank goodness!) but I'm still running a temperature which is annoying. Feel like if I have conceived this time the poor embryo would have been cooked by these two days of temperatures!! Ahh!!
Thanks for asking, I'm sure I will be all better soon :flower:
 
I'm happy to hear that the pain is subsiding a bit. Those can be just awful!

Ashley I've always wanted to stay at a B&B. Have a nice time away together.
 
Ladies I need someone's help....I started testing yesterday at cd9 and of course I didn't detect a surge at all (clear blue advanced) so yesterday evening I tested with both clear blue advanced and 1st response and I got a blinking smiley with clear blue and nothing at all with 1st response....Tested again this morning with FMU and the same thing happened...3 of my apps states that I should ovulate on Saturday and one states Monday...My problem is if I am to ovulate on Saturday why am I not picking up a LH surge at all....I'm so frustrated right now...I have slight ovulation pains but not picking anything up on the test....Oh and to make matters worse I don't see a blinking smiley on the box or instructions of clear blue...the face should be a smiley face without blinking and it should remain for two days without having to retest...am I making any sense....I'm just so frustrated right now....why is one test saying I may be about to ovulate and one is stark white....I wanna cry...PLEASE HELP LADIES!!!! :cry::cry::cry:
 
It all sounds so promising! I really hope you get a bfp. I'm sorry though that you're having pain. It truly stinks that we can't just look inside a window and see what is going on.

Thanks. I'm hopeful. If only it were that simple.
AFM I'm 8DPO today and anxious tbh. My Boo said to me this morning that I look different (my body is changing), apparently my boobs look fuller, my butt, my face and he says my nose is shiny and he truly believes I have 'crossed over':haha: I don't see these 'changes' in my appearance but he swears he can so....idk.... hoping he's right bc he's so excited, he keeps staring at me with this smirky smile on his face:dohh:.....If I don't get a BFP I think he'll be more disappointed than me... Anyways, I'm just trying to be cool bc I'm so used to having AF show up each month regardless of what symptoms I have that getting excited will only happen when I see my pregnant belly:haha:
 
It could still happen Muffin! FX for you!!!

Amber- if you don't mind me asking, what did you have removed for pcos? My sister has pcos and I am just curious. She hasn't actively started ttc but hasn't been preventing for over two years and nothing yet.

I got a contraceptive progesterone implant placed in my arm. A couple of months later I noticed some hairs around my nipple that I'd never had before. I didn't think much of it and plucked them out.

I had that in for 18 months and swung between late periods to longer periods spotting and abdo pain. So I had that one out as I kept thinking I was pregnant and it drove me wild. We decided to have a baby but then I got into uni so a few months later I had another one put in.

This is when it got bad. My periods stopped completely and I was in agony all the time, I started getting hairs on my chin and nipples and gained weight, I started getting high sugar symptoms like sores under my armpits and in my groin and under my boobs. Then I had bloods taken and had elevated testosterone so they sent me for a scan on my ovaries. They were very large and very cystic. They diagnosed me with PCOS. I then started bleeding dysfunctionally once for 40 days! I was put on blood clotting meds and became folate and b12 deficient. This extended bleeding went on for months. So they did another scan yup PCOS. Also 6 months after having it put in I lost about 40% of the hair on my head it was falling out in handfuls.

Then in November after I'd moved house I noticed my cycle started to get more normal and I was getting fertile cm mid month. I dint think much of it. Until I miscarried in Feb of this year not knowing I was pregnant. We worked out I was no more than 4w2d. But there was tissue coming away. Back to the docs I went I took a preg test and it was faint pos. week later bloods drawn and they were at a 1 so neg.

They ordered another scan and I got my implant removed which had bent in half in my arm and was damaged not not as effective. A month later the scan came around and just-like-that poof ovaries normal size, not polycystic not implamed not displaced anymore..... had bloods done and testosterone normal!

Make of it what you will but I did not have pcos before it and I don't have it anymore!

They were so large before they'd moved higher than they should have been and they were worried about one of them twisting.

Now they are normal, I have no bleeding issues, all the hairs have fallen out, my moods are better and im off metformin and dont get that soreness in my creases anymore, I'm sweating less a lot less. my hair on my head is thick and healthy again. I'm normal again. It's like a miracle.

O..M...G.... what an ordeal:shock:...I am so glad everything has turned around for you:hugs:
 
Ashley- I'm going to look through some emails from fertility friend. I'm pretty sure there is one about checking CM.
 
Thanks busy.

I had joined a late jan/early feb group and most of the ladies there are military, but I"m just not connecting :(

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm not knocking some of the other threads but you ladies are truly an awesome bunch. I browse some other threads and I don't find the connection, concern for each other and general well being for each other in some of them and trying to be friendly and concerned seems to be ignored. Not that you're fishing for compliments but....IDK.....I love it here with you gals:hugs:

lol I love when the SO calls it before the girl. My DH told me the weekend before my test, memorial day, that he KNEW I was pregnant. Sometimes I think we get so used to being tricked that we ignore real signs. :dust: Hope your SO is right!

I am so glad you're comfortable here. I think we all lucked out in finding each other. Such an awesome group!





Ashley- I hope this helps!
