first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[mininun1]

Hugs, Gina. You are definitely not being whiny!! I can only imagine how bad it feels to lose a pregnancy, no matter what the stage. I know you will get your sticky bean though, hopefully in October right on schedule

Your symptoms sound very promising Esperanza!! I agree with Gina, maybe wait a few days to test just so you get a bolder test result. Maybe Wednesday?

I'm cramping a little and very sore chest but still no sign of AF. She could show up as late as Sunday, since I started on the 30th last month. I'm not bloated or anything so I'm hoping it's not another weird cycle.

Thank you girls
I will not test early....since my cycles can be longer maybe I will do it on Thrusday if I have more promissing symptoms and no AF....i didnt buy any HPT this month to avoid early testing and heartbreak.
Today was just a "feel pregnant"day but now in the evening am feeling pretty normal again
after my weird-lots-of-pregnant-symptoms-cycles I'd better not be too excited.
Tomorrow finally some nice weather again here...probably the last sunny days of the summer....i will make a bbq with some friends and then sunday to my inlaws...busy weekend will keep me away from baby dreaming.
fx for all of you!

Thanks, Esperanza! It's good to have some distractions and I hope your weekend is going great! Still no AF for me...and I'm not cramping as badly. The witch will probably show tomorrow so I'm trying not to get too excited. But I'm hoping she stays well away and I can test early next week!

Wishing I had distractions this weekend. Hubby has been on a bike all day today. I've been stuck home moping. I was supposed to go with him but I'm not comfortable on a bike for that long. He has worked every night this week and then gone all day today. It makes it so hard to deal with all this when all I can do is sit at home alone. Hopefully I will at least get tomorrow with him. Hope your all doing good. Waiting to see those BFPs!

Just checking in on you ladies! Good luck. I hope you guys get those BFPs and can move on from the pain of waiting to the pain of morning sickness! For those who have had your BFP and have lost the baby, i'm so sorry! The pain is totally justified. You have experienced a real loss no matter how long the pregnancy and Im sorry

 

[mininun1]

Thanks for checking in, ksierra!! How are you doing?

Gina, I hope you are doing okay- hugs!

No AF for me...so I guess I'm officially late as of tomorrow if she doesn't show by then. Still have super sore breasts and some mild cramping, but no bloat or spotting. I still feel like the witch will end up showing so I'm not getting too hopeful. Especially considering how weird my last cycle was. I really hope this isn't going to be a pattern. Ugh.

 

[gina236]

Hey ksierra! Good to see things are going well for you according to your ticker!

Mini I am doing good. Hubby and I spent the day at our local County Fair yesterday then ripped apart our kitchen lol. Very cathartic experience hoping no af is a good thing for you! I don't think you will have another weird cycle. It was probably just stress or something last month. You guys are being more relaxed this month so hopefully it will either be a normal cycle or a bfp!

 

[mininun1]

Thanks, Gina! Still no AF today, and I'm not really cramping at all. I don't know what's going on!

 

[gina236]

When do you plan to test mini?

 

[RexMom2Be]

mini! i'm so excited to hear results of your test!

gina: i'm so sorry, know that you are completely supported in whatever you are feeling.

esperanza: yay for hopeful symptoms!

AFM: today is the last day of AF for me, now comes the fun part!

 

[mininun1]

I don't want to test until Saturday or Sunday, if AF hasn't shown up by then. I really don't want to see a negative test so I plan on holding out as long as possible.

It is very strange though, last month when I was late I felt as though I would start any minute, lots of cramps, cm, etc...this time I'm only having slight on and off cramps, and no bloating at all.

 

[gina236]

How will I wait that long to see your bfp?! ;P I definitely get that. I hate getting negatives or squinters. Its so discouraging even when its just too early. I really hope this is your month!

 

[mininun1]

I really hope so! It's confusing, I'm not sure what to think yet.

Are you training yet? And how do you train for a Tough Mudder? It sounds intense.

 

[gina236]

Ive been training for months but being horrible about it. Haha. My tooth took 5 weeks off my training and then I thought I was pregnant so I was afraid to workout too hard after such a long break. But I've been planning to go for a run every night and I go to the gym and do weights in the morning. Doesnt happen as often as i plan though. Lol. And now that i dont have to worry about being pregnant i have been taking supplements to help gain muscle. If I had the time and money I'd do some crossfit classes. It is intense. My goal is to just finish the race. I don't care where I place. My husband is doing it with me along with a few friends so hopefully together we will finish it. Lol.

 

[mininun1]

Dear god that does sound intense lol. I'm doing good if I get to the gym twice a week. It sounds really rewarding though, to finish the race. Have you done these before?

 

[gina236]

Nope this is my first one. My friend has done one before and he is the one that convinced me to do it. He passed away in April so the team he assembled is doing it as a memorial for him. I almost backed out when he passed away but felt I owed it to him to give it my all.

Hi girls:

Just checking and trying to not go so crazy these days...
Mininun am thinking about you! I admire you for not testing and understand it completely...in theory AF for me could show next weekend also..but i think i will test next thrusday if AF doesnt show the first day i expect it (wed). Last night I had some on and off cramps too and went to bed thinking she was coming but nothing as yet. This happenned last month also. Its cruel but at least I know and Im prepared for AF arrival!
Gina, good luck with the training, sounds very intense and exciting!
I also think that after my period comes I really NEED to start working out and preparing for the wedding and honeymoon! So long since Ive wore a bikini...am scared! lol!
Am going to try my dress on saturday and then probably lunch and drinks with my SIL so thats why i want to test just in case little bean is there
Even though I dont want to keep my hopes up am allowing myself to dream a litlle about a baby...not focusing in this week but in the future, am reading about parenting and stuff, i think its better for me than symptom spotting and reading tww forums.

Well, that was a long post, sorry! hope you are all fine and happy!

 

[gina236]

Lol that's what I started working out for. I lost 12 lbs before my honeymoon. Then got super lazy haha. I do the same thing with baby stuff. I have read so many books. Already read what to expect before your expecting and half of what to expect when your expecting. And then I end up on pinterest planning out the nursery and pinning helpful pregnant posts lol. I actually already have an outfit for a newborn girl. Now before you think I'm totally crazy it was bought as a baby shower present then I heard the guy saying how he doesn't want anymore newborn stuff so I kept it because it was so cute lol. Just waiting for a baby to put in it.

 

[mininun1]

Gina, sounds like you will be totally prepared for your bfp in October! I love Pinterest baby boards, I can spend hours looking for cute little outfits.

Esperanza I hope AF stays well away!! Any symptoms?

Still no AF for me, but I'm trying not to get excited or freak out...at least not until this weekend. I am two days late but AF could still show.

 

[Esperanza2015]

hahah Gina you are not crazy at all!! those baby outfits are too cute! good you keep that one for your baby! Good that you still have the sporty spirit.....hope i get that inspiration soon!
Mininun about symptoms nothing out of the ordinary...nothing....bigger bbs as usual before AF....
I have also something(baby outfit) that my MIL gave me when i was pregnant in Early April...i never see it though...its too sad for me...
But after almost 6 months I can say I feel better about my loss...still think about it of course but not in a bad way..i think my angel came to let us know that we wanted to be parents!! like a come on you can do it! call!
FX for you mininun....am cautiously excited for you!!!
