first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[mininun1]

Right?! I told my husband that I'm spotting and he said "Your vagina needs to make up it's mind."....men. I googled and apparently spotting is another pregnancy symptom. Anyway, time will tell I guess. How are you feeling about tomorrow? Ready for your surgery?

 

[gina236]

All you can do is wait unfortunately. As if the TWW isnt bad enough! I am so not ready for tomorrow. Really nervous about it. The surgeon says it should be really easy and I shouldn't take much time to recover but I can't help but think of the worst case senerio. I'm gonna be a nervous reck tomorrow.

 

[mininun1]

I have never had any sort of surgery so I can only imagine how much of a nervous wreck I would be in your situation. I guess the good thing is that you will feel so much better after it's all said and done? And maybe during your recovery you can catch up on some TV/movies/reading and just relax a bit!

 

[gina236]

Ya that's the one reason I'm doing it. I never want them to get infected again so I need to get them out but I just freak myself out. I have high anxiety as it is and haven't taken my medication for it since we started TTC so I'm just all crazy now lol. Hubby will be replacing the roof this weekend so hopefully I will be able to sleep with all the racket he will be making. Haha.

Hi girls!
Gina, good luck tomorrow - you will do fine! Hang in there *hugs*

Esperanza, what's your approximate dpo?

Mini - that is so strange, maybe you really are pregnant! I am excited at the possibility!

As for me, I've been soaking up the last of my summer...spending time at the pool between trainings. We officially go back the 13th so I'm trying to get extra tanned in the meantime.
As for TTC....I didn't get my RX filled for the Clomid this month. I want DH to get a SA done and he's resisting. I don't want to take anymore drugs until we know his swimmies are good!! Hope that makes sense. We've been spending a lot of time together lately and I love it! Makes me reminisce about when we were first dating.

Hi Ladies:

ttcdfw: Welcome back! Its nice that you are enjoying the summer!
These days have been a bit chilly here, hope it gets warmer/sunnier for the weekend! Im suppossed to be 11 DPO today.

Gina: Good luck with the surgery! Enjoy the rest and the painkillers!!

Mininun: BFP is a possibility! I think the key is if the spotting progresses to a normal period of it just dissappear after a few days... I hope you get your answers soon

I think I will not test again today or tomorrow. Maybe on Sunday. Have been stressful days for different reasons and I can see that my boyfriend is stressed too....but he says am extremely moody and that doesn't help either. Yesterday I feel for a brief moment period-like cramps....maybe AF will come....
Have a nice Friday!!!

 

[mininun1]

Hey ttcdfw! It definitely makes sense to want to get him tested. You for sure want to pinpoint any "issues" for lack of a better word, so you can get your BFP as soon as possible. Enjoy the pool! You would think I would be getting tan since you know, Texas in summer, but I'm still looking like Casper the ghost...lol

Gina good luck with the surgery! Check in when you can, we are thinking of you.

Esperanza your TWW is almost over - exciting! Keep us posted with any symptoms. The cramping could definitely be a good sign.

As for me, AF arrived in full force last night. While I'm relieved that SOMETHING finally happened, it's still rather disappointing, especially since (I know I keep saying this) I've never been late. Maybe I ovulated late this month? My DH was super disappointed when I told him I started...he said, "well, maybe next month." It sucks, but since my family is here visiting for the next few days, it will keep my mind occupied.

 

[gina236]

Teeth are out. Super numb and groggy But they said it went well.

Ttcdfw, definitely understand not wanting to take medication if you don't need to. Just try to convince him it's not a big deal. to do it for piece of mind for you.

Esperanza, TWW is almost over! Can't wait to see that BFP!

Mini, so sorry AF showed! At least you have an answer now. We can all be bump buddies for August though!

Sorry if I messed up any of that lol. Trying my best to make sense lol.

 

[mininun1]

So glad that your surgery is over and done with, Gina! Get lots of rest!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi all:

Gina: good to have you back!

I had another BFN yesterday (cd12) and now am just waiting for AF to show tomorrow. I dont want to see another BFN. Had a busy weekend with guests and bbq, and that kept my mind of all the TTC.
Hate the wait though!
Not relevant symptoms....
Good luck for the one TTC in Aug!!

 

[ttcdfw]

Mini, I am so bummed you got af! I really thought you might be pregnant! Gah. Damn witch! Here's to August!!

Gina - glad they're out and you don't have to worry about them anymore...get some rest and update when you feel up to it!

Esperanza - dang on the bfn! It may just still be too early girlie! Hang in there!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Thank you ttcdfw!
I thought AF came yesterday cause had pink spotting after DTD (sorry tmi) but it was only when i wipped then went away and today nothing yet. I felt so sad when I saw it that am preparing myself for AF today. I don't want to see any negative tests anymore so I will wait cause my cycles got a bit longer after MC. Today is CD30, maybe AF will show around CD 32 or 33 this time, who knows.

 

[gina236]

Hi ladies! I had a crazy busy weekend. On top of trying to recover which is going very well, we are replacing the roof on our house. So I got to spend the whole weekend with my inlaws -_- they are so opinionated about every little thing so I am completely emotionally drained. A job that should have only taken a weekend is going to take much longer. They are only halfway through the front, haven't touched the back. So while my hubby is at his second job I will be playing hostess after work everyday until the front is done. This week starts my fertile week but hubby is so exhausted from being on the roof from 8am to 9pm everyday that I don't know how much BDing we will be doing. Hopefully he will get a break at some point. I feel so bad because I was inside the whole time not able to help because of my surgery/recovery.

Glad to see everyone else doing okay. Esperanza, FX AF doesnt show up!

 

[mininun1]

Gina how are you feeling? Esperanza did AF show? AF is over for me now, so just waiting to ovulate. I'm thankful for the distraction of my family visiting because I'm getting so discouraged that it's taking so long to get pregnant. I know compared to some of the ladies on this board I haven't been trying long at all, but another friend announced her pregnancy over the weekend and I really feel like it's my turn. Sooo ready to be pregnant and for us to have our own baby!

 

[mininun1]

Whoops my phone did something weird and I just now saw the latest posts from you ladies! Esperanza it sounds like you are having the same weird annoying cycle that I did. Fx that you have better luck and get that BFP Gina you and I are in the same situation right now in terms of BD being somewhat difficult. ..we have family visiting sooo yeah. Maybe it will work to our advantage!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi ladies:

No AF for me, am sure I o'd late and missed my chance
Just trying to keep my mind of it and wait until CD 34, I had another weird cycle in May, I have a theory that one of my ovaries is crazy and this is the one acting up this month!
Not much of symptoms really so feeling so normal makes me think AF is just taking longer to come.
Gina and Mininun hope you get the chance to DTD at any time you can...remember that quickies can work too!!

 

[gina236]

Mini I'm glad your family is keeping your mind off things. We finished half the roof last night (doing the other half in a few weeks) and DH has been quite Horny lately so hopefully we will be able to get some BDing in. It always comes down to whether he will be able to finish or not. His body really messes with him when he is in pain. FX we both find time to DTD. And Esperanza that would make sense if one ovary was different. They are supposed to go back and forth so if you had a wacky cycle in May it's possible it's that ovary. But hey you never know. Your not out until AF shows!

 

[gina236]

Sometimes I wish Google didn't exist! According to the two apps I use one says I should O the 7th and one says the 8th. I don't temp or use opks or anything, just calendar. I know I O'd 2 or 3 days early last month so we DTD last night. Today I am feeling extremely light headed and nauseous. Trying to figure out if I am getting another infection (even though last time that started with pain not nausea) or if I am O'ing or did last night and I'm already feeling symptoms. Reading a bunch of threads about women feeling early symptoms within 24hrs of conceiving. Just doesn't seem possible to me But of course Google gets my hopes up. We are being much more relaxed about BDing this month, just trying to whenever we feel like it. I know my body is super sensitive but after a few hours? Doesn't seem possible. Only time will tell but if I have to feel sick I'd rather think it's because we have a baby coming than actually being sick. Lol.

Esperanza, has AF shown yet? Hope not!! How are the wedding plans coming?

Ttcdfw how are you doing? I believe we are exact cycle buddies If I remember right lol.

Mini hope your family is doing good and your getting lots of time with them!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi everyone!

Gina, I feel the same way...tired of googling my symptoms and overthinking every little thing. No AF yet. Am holding my pee for 3 hours now. I will try to hold it a bit more and test today again but not feeling very hopeful.
Am going to a event tonight and will really use a couple of drinks!!
I will recommend not to think about O (Im thinking I scared mine away cause didnt feel watery CM last month..even my bf said it didnt feel like my fertile days at all ) but think more about sexy time with your hubby and DTD as much as you can.
Good luck to everyone..will post in an hour about the result!

 

[gina236]

FX for you! Hoping you come back to us with good news.
