first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[gina236]

Haha that's what I'm going to try not to do. I really want it to be special for him but I know if I try to wait all day/night to tell him I'm just gonna sit around with a big smile on my face whenever I see him and he will know something is up lol.

Oh and are you having any new symptoms at all? I love to symptom spot lol

Baby fever like whoa! I go from feeling super absolutely sure I'm pregnant to feeling like there's no way I am. Something about the mystery is fun, but I'm so impatient!

Still don't know how I'll tell DH. I'm sure he'll be able to tell straight away by my face!

I'm trying not to symptom spot, but my boobs are hard to not notice, although sometimes this happens with PMS, so I'm not holding onto it too much. Not too bloated today, but I am having some back pain, around my pelvis, and a "full" feeling in my abdomen. Again, could be the chick peas from my salad at lunch!

Oh the TWW can be sooo stressful, RexMom! Last month it was awful for me, especially when AF ended up being late and I had convinced myself that I was pregnant. Your symptoms sound really promising though! And it's early for pms symptoms at 1dpo, so maybe it's implantation symptoms?

Yeah I can even tell that my husband is having bad baby fever. Last night he mentioned that if we got pregnant this month we would maybe have a "mother's day" baby next year and how my mom would really like that. Super sweet but obviously that made my baby fever like ten times worse lol

Thanks ladies. I tested really really early. i tested Wednesday at 7pm and my period is expected next Wednesday! I went and had my HCG and progesterone checked today butwon't know util monday what the results are until Monday. Im so crampy and my lower back is killing me.

 

[RexMom2Be]

thanks mini! It's torture and fun. I like the symptom spotting, especially if AF doesn't show to make me look like an idiot.

I didn't even think about a Mother's Day baby! Ohhhh that is so cute. My niece's birthday is 5/3 and my sister's is 5/28, so I was thinking it would be nice to have another May baby in the family.

I've been going through facebook and looking at some friends' baby pictures today to keep the baby fever alive and well, hahaha.

ksierra, that's definitely a BFP!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

[gina236]

Mini only new symptoms I've had is been crampy on and off the past few days and breaking out like crazy today. Damn hormones lol.

 

[ksierra44]

Thanks Rex!

 

[gina236]

I caved and took a 25 mIU cheap test. which according to the math I did my hormone levels should only be at 8 today so that doesn't surprise me but I was hopeful for at least a squinter with all the women I see getting BFP at 10dpo which is where I am. Looks like I have to wait until Tuesday when my FRERs come in and hope AF stays away.

 

[mininun1]

It's still so early, Gina! I'm sure you have a BFP, just wait a few days and test again. Hugs!!!

 

[RexMom2Be]

Happy weekend ladies!

I'm posting symptoms purely for fun, I know most can be attributed to PMS or even what I ate today! I'm not so sure on O date, as I felt O symptoms early, but I'm sticking with what my apps say in hoping that will make me wait longer to test. So for now, 3DPO (though I'm hoping it's more like 6!)

However, my left hip has been SO painful, along with a gurgly belly and zero appetite; those are new. Minor cramping, sore boobs, and slightly irritable; all normal PMS symptoms.

Something VERY different that I'm trying to not get too excited over; LOADS of creamy white CM, and my boobs do look quite veiny, and they're tiny, so I notice every little thing on them! ::hahaha::

I have felt cruddy, could barely make it through a quick grocery stop. Had to get a bottle of water! I felt so awful! Not nauseous, but weak and out of breath. It did make me hopeful! Funny how we see feeling ill differently when TTC!!

Anyone else? Symptoms?

 

[gina236]

Hey RexMom, even that early I was having symptoms so it's very possible! I am 11 dpo today and still have lots of creamy CM every day (tmi. But it keeps feeling like I am bleeding because of how much there is) my cervix is still soft and high, not as soft but still definitely soft! more tests come in Tuesday so I will most likely take one that night or Wednesday morning! Really hoping this is the month for all of us!!

My inlaws are over working on the roof all weekend. Someone said something about grandkids and my MIL goes no we are very happy they plan to wait awhile -_- not really what I wanted to hear when I think I'm pregnant. Haha. Oh well. They better warm up to the idea. My hubby is 26, he will be 27 when the baby is due so it's not like we are super young..

 

[mininun1]

RexMom those are awesome symptoms! I think you and I are on a very similar cycle, AF is due for me between the 26-30...of course, I'm hoping she stays away entirely.

Gina, I bet your inlaws just said that to make you think they aren't focusing on it or putting any pressure on you. When you actually announce the pregnancy to them, I'm sure they will be flipping out.

 

[gina236]

Ya hopefully they will be happy. My mom wanted us to wait but the last few months she has told me she is ready. Now that her siblings have grandkids she wants it too. I figured out how I think I will tell her. My grandma's birthday is Sept 18th. She passed away in January so I know my mom will have an off day that day, which coincidentally is 8 weeks for me, so I plan to send her flowers at the house with a note saying something about her being a grandma. She loves getting flowers, it always makes her day and i send them every once in awhile randomly so she wont be too suspicious about it. I will probably get to her house before her that day so I can see her reaction.

 

[mininun1]

I love that idea!!! That will be so special for her. I have looked through so many ideas for pregnancy reveals and I still haven't found the one that I think will work best for my parents. I'm hoping I can announce something this Christmas, so maybe something wrapped up in a gift box? I'll have to look through pinterest again.

 

[gina236]

I wanted to do that if it was timed around a holiday. I saw some cute ones that were like wrap up a binkie or a book with a note saying please hold onto this for me in (month year) i couldn't figure out a way to give my parents a gift without them getting suspicious if it's not around a holiday.

 

[mininun1]

Yes exactly. I think the idea I like best is a cute pregnancy announcement card in a nice frame, wrapped up and given to them. If I get pregnant between now and October, I'll be 8-12 weeks along by Christmas. ..which is when I would want to announce it. But since I'm planning it in my head, you know I'm bound to get thrown a curve ball Oh and only four more days until you test!!

 

[gina236]

That would be really cute! I can't wait! my hubbys old neighbor just stopped by and tells us he is expecting a little one and how pissed he is about it. Ughhh. Why is it so hard for people who actually want and are ready for a baby to have one but people who don't want one get pregnant so easy.
