first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[gina236]

FX he changes his mind soon. That's so messed up of him. You will get your baby (s)!

So last night despite all these terrible cramps I went on a 2 mile run with my dog. Then made him sleep in his crate instead of on our floor as he has been itching like crazy and keeping me awake all night. I feel so much better today! Totally refreshed and ready to take on the day. Haven't felt like that in so long. This month off is going to be great for me. Hopefully come October we won't have any issues and will have a baby on the way. We already plan on hosting Thanksgiving for our families so it would be the perfect time to announce it to them. I get so ahead of myself with planning. Haha. But it keeps me sane. Well sorta sane

Hi guys :wave: can I hang out here too?

DH & 1 were NTNP for a good 3 years. Married Feb 2015 and TTC Since July. This was our first cycle TTC, and while my period tracking app says I'm a day late I have irregular cycles and definitely don't feel pregnant. So basically just waiting for AF to show. Any day now...

Magical, that is frustrating. Hoping you and DH can work it out. You are right - It will happen when it's meant to.

I think what you said about busting out the condoms was pretty funny though Feel like I would be the same way!!

Welcome, wifeybby! Congrats on beginning your TTC journey! You will get your BFP! Sending baby dust your way, love!

LOL @ the condom-thing. I need to stop getting so angry and holding grudges! He knows I've wanted this for YEARS! I'm 30. He's 35. We aren't getting any younger. PLUS I want at least 4 It's time to get started! A baby whisperer told me I would be conceiving this year, and I believe it, so I need to stop being so disappointed and trust my instincts.

Welcome wifeybby! I hope your ttc journey is a short one

Yay Gina, I'm glad you are feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new month. That would be awesome to announce a baby at thanksgiving...no better time, really! And I think planning ahead helps to keep us positive, thinking of all the good things that will come out of ttc. I'm still holding out for an announcement at Christmas, but I'm not sure that it will happen at this point. Maybe September will be my lucky month!

 

[Esperanza2015]

I finally catch up on all the posts.. Gina, am sorry AF showed but am glad you feel more like yourself now and looking forward to October! Maybe that will be our lucky month!!
Mininun...congratulations in your new job! nice that you are taking it easy about TTC who knows...maybe in a couple of months you get a nice surprise!
Magimal mom: I laughed a lot about the condom thing! I think he will come around with the idea soon....just keep BDing and having fun, no pressure, and maybe he will even want it as much as you!
Wifeybby: Welcome and baby dust for you!!

AFM: Im feeling very good and positive..not only about TTC but in general. I just feel that things will work out sooner or later. Yesterday I had an appointment with my OB for a Pap smear and she was very comforting, we told her that we are NTNP and she said that in my U/S a couple of months ago my lining was very good and she is not worried. I bleed a little bit (am still spotting now) but I guess it was because of the PAP...last night I was thinking about implantation bleeding (am 7 DPO today) but I think i have had this bleeding before with that exam.
Well, am hoping everything is ok, i will get the results in 2 weeks..

 

[gina236]

Welcome wifeybby!

Nice to hear from you Esperanza! Never heard of bleeding from a pap but it's possible. Or it could be IB. Never know! FX for you

AFM I spent all night last night on the couch. Talk about change in mood -_- Emotions finally caught up with me. I am doing better today but still in an off mood. If I don't write back to you guys I'm sorry. Need to take a step back. I've been looking at my test from Monday morning and even DH sees the line clearly. Just don't see how I could get my first true positive test and start bleeding 3 hours later. Life is cruel sometimes

FX and baby dust to all of you! I truly hope you all get your BFP soon!

 

[mininun1]

Ugh I'm sorry Gina. That does seem so unfair. Take it easy and try not to stress too much today.

 

[RexMom2Be]

Hey ladies!

Gina: I'm sorry. Ups and downs are normal, don't feel bad for feeling bad. TTC is emotionally-charged, and we're allowed to feel whatever it makes us feel. Turn to this board whenever you need to!

Magical: i totally agree, and you're right. hubby will come around.

welcome wifey!

AFM: AF started yesterday, a whole 2 days early! Ugh! Better than waiting around for her, I suppose. CD2 for me right now, on to September! I'll be temping as much as possible, but work is quite stressful right now and changing, so I think I'm just going to BD as much as possible with hopes to catch the egg. I'm not totally sure when I O, so if nothing happens by November, I'll get some OPKs and really try to track it.

 

[wifeybby]

thank you ladies for the warm welcome! praying our TTC journey won't be long, but I have a gut feeling it's going to be one heck of a run. Having been so irregular over the past few years, with some symptoms of PCOS I'm pretty scared. Just waiting for my DH's insurance to cover me so I can go get checked out.

Magical, I am the youngest of four kids - it's a blast! The more, the merrier It was so much fun growing up in a large family, always someone to play with, talk to, get in trouble with Thank you so much for the positivity! You will get your BFP too. All FOUR of them

I get very ahead of myself with planning too, Gina! Praying you can announce the best gift of all this season. That would be so amazing. Reading through your posts, and yes life can be cruel. Too cruel. I know I would be crushed too - so please know you have us! If you take a break just don't forget there's a whole community here waiting to hear you out.

 

[mininun1]

Nothing much to report from me really. AF should be here anytime between now and the 30th, and I've been cramping a lot like I'm going to start anytime. Fortunately I've been pretty focused on work so I haven't had time to dwell on ttc too much. I know I'll still be upset when AF starts.

 

[Esperanza2015]

Oh Gina i totally understand...whenever I stop checking BNB and concentrate in something else i feel that is just a matter of time and it will happen to me...Take advantage of this time for yourself and your hubby, doing things that you really enjoy, or find a new hobbie together.
I also get this urges to exercise after AF and I say to myself i will be fit this month! but that never happens...

To all the lovely ladies i wish a happy day!!! no matter which CD you are...just smile!

 

[gina236]

Thank you ladies. It is so nice to have this forum. I am feeling better. Just needed a day of grieving I guess. Love all the support here

[mininun1]

Glad to see you back, Gina I am so glad you are feeling better.

 

[gina236]

Thanks mini. It's crazy how much losing a 2 week old pregnancy can effect you. I tried just sucking it up because there are much worse circumstances, makes me feel like a whiny brat or something. I couldn't imagine losing a baby later in the pregnancy or having a still born or something. I hope and pray none of us have to go through anything like that. But everything happens for a reason. I just hope it doesn't take much longer. At least I know everything I was feeling was pregnancy related. Hopefully next time it will stick.

 

[MommyTTC2]

Prayers for all! Baby Dust!

 

[wifeybby]

Gina - You absolutely are NOT NOT NOT a whiny brat for being upset over this! I would be too, we all would be. You're allowed to feel however you do about it. I'm praying your pain heals and that next time you see those lines, they result in a happy healthy lil babe.

 

[Esperanza2015]

I agree completely with the previous post....hugs Gina..you will get your healthy baby soon!
And on that note...I was goggling my symptoms ( i can't help it)
and i found very mean reactions in a forum (not BNB) for a poor woman asking something about her CM and if anybody experienced that before a BFP! Am SOOO happy that am in this one and specially in this thread everybody is so nice and kind to one another.
Am not ashamed to be obsessing about having a baby cause i really want it!! Although I admit that sometimes I take a break when i see is not healthy for me...but anyhow we are all experiencing similar things.....Just so glad about the support i have found here!!
to all!

 

[Esperanza2015]

i have to add why am feeling hopeful this cycle:

-Actually felt O pains and DTD accordingly
-For the past few days I have felt mild pain in my left ovary, on and off but still...makes me wonder...
-Today I got watery CM...but I guess this could happen for a number for reasons...
Anyhow im just using this as a log of my symptoms....since AF can come anytime from Wednesday to Sunday next week...dont know when to test..IF she doesnt come...what do you think?

 

[gina236]

Thanks ladies. I know it will happen. Eventually. Lol

Esperanza I would wait until Wednesday at least. I see a lot of bfp at 10 dpo but they are always squinters. Personally I'd rather see a definite positive on a test rather than one I have to convince myself is there. Lol. So hold out as long as you can! Easier said than done! I didn't get a true positive until I was 4 days late at 19 dpo but I obviously had very low hcg. Your symptoms sound good. I would continue to DTD just in case though because those also sound like O symptoms. I wonder if the ovary pain is actually the egg moving down the tube or implanting or something. It's crazy how much more we feel when we are paying close attention! FX for you!!
