first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[gina236]

I think the same thing about my May loss. It solidified the fact we really wanted to try. I try to believe everything happens for a reason. I have to believe my loss this month had something to do with my tough mudder. That is why I am working so hard at training. I will do my angel proud. I do wish we were trying this month though. I O this weekend. I never O on a weekend. It's so much easier to BD when we don't have to worry about getting up for work. Oh well

Mini I am cautiously excited for you! Really really hope this is your month! But after last month I understand you being cautious. Let us know as soon as you test this weekend! I'm at the edge of my seat waiting. Haha. And I've been meaning to ask, where does your username come from?

 

[mininun1]

Thanks ladies. I feel more positive about AF not showing up this month than I did last month just because the symptoms are slightly different. I really hope she stays away and that the test this weekend is a good one!

Haha my username is actually my last name "Nunn" combined with the fact that I want a "mini" Nunn...lol. I actually give my husband grief about our last name occasionally because my family name is Fox, and I tell him I must love him a lot to switch to a slightly less cool last name

 

[gina236]

Ahh I get it! Haha. When I got married I went from a Italian last name no one could pronounce to a German one no one can pronounce. Haha. I tried to get my hubby to take my name because I like it better but he wasn't having it

I'm glad your feeling more optimistic. AF being late is the best sign there is!

 

[mininun1]

Yeah my hubby wasn't crazy about the idea of taking mine either lol. Oh well, the concessions we make for men!

I'm not really cramping anymore, so it really feels like I just completely skipped AF. I'm hoping this is a good sign. I really want to test but I also soo don't want to be disappointed by a bfn...and confused by a missing period. Why must ttc be so hard! Lol.

 

[Esperanza2015]

Mininun thats so cute about your username....
I want to test more than you hahaha and its just my first day of possible AF... WAITING SUCKS!!!
The on and off cramps are misleading...I dont remember having them before...but let's see...nothing major to report apart from that. Today will be 14 dpo if i predicted my O correctly, i want to wait until friday is AF doesnt show... maybe she is just around the corner for me....hate long cycles!
keep us posted mininun...am really excited for you!!

cheers to all!!

 

[gina236]

You two and your self control! I would have tested 5 times by now haha. FX for both of you. Shoo that witch away!

 

[mininun1]

Lol I'm hoping the witch stays away! I'll test Saturday if so. No nervous though!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Well Gina your words really encouraged me to test!!!
And I got a nice surprise!

Feeling cautiously optimistic and praying for a sticky baby!!

 

[gina236]

Ahhhhhh yay!!! So excited for you! Those are pretty dark lines! Congratulations!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Ahhhhhh yay!!! So excited for you! Those are pretty dark lines! Congratulations!

Thank you Gina

Im taking one day at a time...my ob will not see me until 8 weeks...so its better to be relax and happy for now.....specially these days when in theory AF can come.....
to all the ladies in this thread!!!

 

[mininun1]

Omg congratulations! !! That's a super dark line!

 

[mininun1]

I think I might be out this month I started cramping again last night, and although I'm not spotting or anything yet, these cramps are just like the ones I get before AF starts. I'm so discouraged. Plus, when I do start, it will mean that my cycles are getting longer and longer. I started on the 30th last month and I feel like I'll start any minute now. Ugh.

 

[gina236]

Mini, You aren't out until AF shows! Hoping she stays away! Cramps happen all during pregnancy so hopefully that's all it is. Having changing cycles when you have always been regular is so frustrating. Mine got shorter every month until last one when I had a CP. I wonder what it will do this month while I'm not trying.

Esperanza, exactly! Just relax and enjoy! Those lines are dark so no need to worry. Congrats again!!

 

[Esperanza2015]

thank you girls!

I agree with Gina, Mininun you are not out yet...
am also worried cause i also have long and weird cycles from time to time after my MC...but again...just trying to stay positive and also allowing things to happen, accepting them and letting them go cause some things are really out of our control...
going to buy fruit and veggies!

 

[mininun1]

Thanks ladies. Esperanza I'm so excited for you!!

I'm still cramping, but no AF yet. I really feel like it's just another weird cycle. I'm trying to stay positive but it's getting more difficult.

 

[gina236]

Mini it's almost the weekend!! hoping af is still staying away!

AFM today is CD12 which is the day I O'd last month. My normal day is CD14. DH and I have not had sex since last month -_- my CP bleeding didn't stop until a few days ago (8 days of bleeding) and the day it stopped I went on a 5 mile run and have been so sore since. So my DH has been wanting to DTD for awhile lol. Trying to decide if we should or not. It's been so nice not keeping track of everything but I really shouldnt get pregnant right before my race lol. Ahh decisions. Lol.

Huge congrats to the BFP!! Woo!! Sticky bean please!!!

Mini, I have some weird long cycles too.. I'm CD54 - On Tuesday I called first thing this morning to make my ob/gyn appt -- couldn't get me in until Sept. 25 (if no AF by then, I'll be CD75!) So yeah, I'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping to get in sooner and see whats going on. This will be my first TTC ob/gyn apt; I'm hoping we can do provera/clomid or femara... Idk if she'll jump onto stuff like that right away or what the deal is. What do you ladies think? I'm also thinking she'll say "lets do bcp to get you regular then TTC in a few months.." I see the theory there, but bcp doesn't really make you regular since you don't have real periods, just estrogen bleeds.. I'm so nervous for this appt I've been trying not to think about it too much. Any advice?

Glad to see you're doing a lil better Gina!! Glad to see you're still on the forum and getting ready for Tough Mudder!! Go Gina Go!! lol! Wish I had the energy to do all that!

 

[mininun1]

Thanks, Gina! No sign of AF yet, so fingers crossed.

Wifey, it's so weird because my only long cycle was last month, but it was super frustrating! I can't tell yet if what's happening now is a weird cycle or something else...and I'm holding out to test. It does feel way different than last month, on and off cramps and not really bloated at all. So who knows! Good luck at your appointment- let us know how it goes!

 

[gina236]

Wifeybby, every doctor seems to be different with ttc. I believe most like you to be actively trying for at least a year before prescribing anything. I haven't seen one yet since trying. I know I should but I hate going to the doctor. CD 54 is a crazy wait! Hopefully your first appointment will surprise you with a bfp! Maybe call and ask to get on a cancel list so if anyone cancels you can take their appointment?

 

[Esperanza2015]

Thank you Wifey! Really long cycles! Good luck with the appt! I think about the dr thing..in my opinion depends on your age and how long have you been actually trying..thats one of the reasons I couldnt help myself not to DTD on my fertile days this month...Im 33 and I will like to have more that one baby and am we are so ready for it, so once we started is not going back!
Mininun are you testing tomorrow? Its gonna be a week late soon! Exciting! Dont go by the symptoms...I know i cannot put myself as example cause its too early to say its a viable pregnancy but still...I dont have much bloating or any other thing! I had more bloating last month! My lack of symptoms is scary sometimes...but Im actually calmed and hoping for the best! FX for you!

Gina i know how it feels not to try for a cycle..its a bit liberating and i think its very good for your sex life! but its up to you to leave it to fate or just really prevent it....good luck!

For the rest of the girls...which cycle day are you guys?
