first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[littlelily]

Congratulations mini nun knew you would get your bfp soon. Looking forward to seeing you on the pregnancy boards.

Hope you remember me from the start of this thread.

Gina, lots of baby dust and good luck with tough mudder!

 

[mininun1]

Thank you so much Lily! Yes of course I remember you- I can't believe you are already 15 weeks along! How are you and baby doing?

 

[gina236]

So glad everyone is doing well. Thanks for checking in lily! I cant believe you are that far along already! Hope you and the baby are doing good!

I had a weird thought today, looked it up and might be something to it. Normally when I work out alot my resting heart rate goes way down, when I stop it goes back up ( I wear a fitbit to track it). Now I've been obviously training and the past week my resting heart rate has gone up every day. Today it hit 80 bpm. That's the highest it usually goes. So I was kinda worried that I am getting sick because it should be going down not up. When I had my tooth infection it got to 88 before I started to feel sick. But then I thought I wonder if it's an early sign and looks like it is. From what I've read resting heart rate goes up 15 to 20 bpm while pregnant. I cant find exactly when it would but i looked at last month when i wasnt working out as much and it was between 76 and 80 until two days before i started bleeding when it went down to 72-74. Sooo either I am fighting off some sickness or it could possibly be a sign! Thinking that way helps me not freak that maybe I'm getting sick. I hate being sick. Been super tired lately (just took a 3 hour nap after only waking up 2 hours before) both are probably totally unrelated but helps keep my anxiety down to have an explanation for it lol.

I noticed a higher heart rate for myself the day before I got my bfp!

Hey ladies! Been super busy and haven't been on BnB in forever!

Mininun -- Congrats on the BFP! And your hubby is the sweetest thing ever taking over the house duties!

Esperanza -- Congrats on your BFP! And that digital estimator is the coolest thing ever! Can't wait to try it out once I get my BFP.

RexMom2Be -- You dreaming of seeing 4 positive tests AND having all those symptoms sounds like a promising BFP! Can't wait to hear about your results!

Gina -- So glad you BD even though you were upset with hubby. Hoping you get your BFP this month!

 

[gina236]

Hi magicalmom2be! Hope things are going well with you. Has the OH come around yet?

I have been having crazy dreams lately. I usually don't remember my dreams much but the past few days they have been so real and I think about them all day. It's kind of annoying. I am trying specifically not to symptom spot because we don't have great chances this month and I don't want to stress about it but things keep coming up.

 

[littlelily]

Thanks ladies. I'm well thanks, and baby seems to be happy in there so just hoping all is growing along well.

Lots of hugs and see you soon

 

[RexMom2Be]

Hey Magical! Thank you. We did BD on the right day if I'm right about O, but didn't BD a lot because of DH's injury. So I'm hopeful but trying not to get hopes up!

Hey little!!!

Mini- how are you feeling?

Gina- I feel the same way!

I was relatively symptom-free yesterday, did more shopping and renovation and redecorating so that distracted me a lot. Trying not to look too much into anything. I woke up nauseous again this morning with tender boobs. But tender bobs would start now either way with PMS.

Today we're taking it easy and watching DH's favorite football team and then doing some more shopping. Everyone have a great Sunday!

 

[RexMom2Be]

Just updating to say on Friday I had a good sharp pain near my right hip bone while walking to my car after work, and then has the most bizarre feeling while I was driving, my whole lower abdomen felt like Icy Hot inside, like everything was just burning cold. It was so strange, but also so neat! I hope it's a good sign.

I've been nauseous all day and craving fizzy drinks.

Could all be PMS at this point, but I'll note it regardless!

 

[gina236]

That is a weird sounding sensation RexMom. Anything that is different from normal I view as a good thing! Hope everyone had a good weekend! DH worked Saturday so I slept all day lol. And yesterday we spent the day at his parents house working on his truck. Trying to stay busy

 

[magicalmom2be]

I've been keeping busy like RexMom... redecorating the living room, preparing for DP's arrival. I'm into Feng Shui, and have been decorating my home for fertility to attract the right energy that will help us conceive. Call me crazy...but I even got in touch with a baby whisperer who was able to predict my future pregnancies. She sees me giving birth to a baby boy in August of next year, so that means I'll be conceiving in the next couple of months.

So in the mean time, I've been getting my body prepared... trying to eat right, exercise daily...planning to do a fast/detox and have a deep cleaning at the dentist. Ideally, I would love for my temple (body) to be a clean, healthy environment for my little one. Going to my gyno next month to get pharmacy grade folic acid and prenatal vitamins. I've been using store bought...but believe the prescribed kind are so much better.

At this point, I don't care if DP is on board, because it's gonna happen regardless. lol...

 

[mininun1]

Hey ladies- RexMom, those are good symptoms! Anything out of the ordinary is definitely a good sign!

Magicalmom, anything that helps you prepare and maybe relax your mind a little is a good thing...my husband and I visited a psychic when we took a trip to Salem, Massachusetts last year, and she told us we would be pregnant within a year. That was in October so she was right

I have been so busy at work that I've hardly had time to think about being pregnant, as bad as that sounds! Lots of late nights at work. I'm definitely ready for our first appointment though! I'm still crampy and nauseous on and off, so I don't see that subsiding anytime soon.

 

[gina236]

That's not a bad thing mini! Keeps you from stressing at least.

Magicalmom, I like your attitude about it! I'm sure your OH will be on board once it happens. Hopefully before then. Getting your body as ready as possible is the best thing to do. You want that baby or babies to be nice and healthy. If you do end up with twins you want to keep them in there as long as possible so a good starting point is important.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm over here at 7 dpo just twiddling my thumbs lol. Don't really feel pregnant but feel like I will get a positive test so I have no idea really. Just going about my days like normal and we will see if AF visits next week.

 

[RachaelP1027]

My husband and I are similar to you... I am 24 he's 27, married for almost 2 years. We have been trying for a while but this is the first cycle that I've had that I have actually been able to chart accurately, with a positive ovulation test as well. I am 14dpo right now but I just started bleeding yesterday, however my BBT is still above the coverline. Two of my friends (one with 2 kids, one expecting #1) told me not to lose hope even though I'm bleeding. So I'm just waiting to see what comes of this and it's torture! You just want to know! But prayers and blessing to you that your little one will be with you soon!

 

[gina236]

Awe ya bleeding isn't always the end. I've heard of women that bleed every month like a period while pregnant and have healthy babies. There is always a chance. Is the flow lighter than normal? I'd say try testing in a few days. If it comes back positive make an appointment to get blood drawn. Being in limbo is the absolute worst. FX for you!

 

[RexMom2Be]

Hi Rachael! I agree with Gina, test again in a few days if the flow stays lighter than usual.

Magical: I love all of that. I've always wanted to try a psychic, my mom had one reading that predicted everything over a 5-year period. Job switches, her divorce, a big move, everything!

mini: can't wait to hear about your appointment! work has been keeping me distracted too, which has been good. between that and getting the guest bedroom and bathroom finished up, the 2WW has almost been bearable!

Gina: I'm in the same boat. Twiddling my thumbs. Don't really know if I feel pregnant, but am having some symptoms and hoping for a BFP as always. Cramps, back aches, nausea. Today I've been cramping all morning long! Had a temp spike this morning, hoping to test on Friday with a cheapie. I'll be in NC for a wedding so it would be fun to find out on vacation.

 

[gina236]

Was feeling really lightheaded and nauseous all day today. And had a weird cold sensation like my skin felt like it was cold to the touch but it was actually pretty warm. Might be getting sick or might be pregnancy related, still not sure. But managed to get in a 8 mile run. Exhausted to say the least.

RexMom FX it ends up a great vaca surprise!!

 

[RexMom2Be]

gina, sounds promising!!!

i've been starving the past 2 days, but zero bloating. craving protein-rich foods like nuts and cheese. could be PMS, but worth noting.

Just got a good wave of nausea just before leaving work, too.

Wish i could just test already!!!

 

[magicalmom2be]

Hey ladies!

mini -- That's so cool that you had a psychic predict that you would be pregnant within a year. This psychic of mine predicted 3 future pregnancies for me...which would TOTALLY amaze me if she were 100% accurate with all three. If she is correct about the first one being born in August of next year, I should be conceiving this next cycle in October (I O the very last week of the month) or perhaps November. Maybe I can try to keep distracted and not hope so much and see if it'll happen. Oh! And it's time to update your signature and status to show off that BFP and Expecting!

Gina -- I'm definitely trying to stay positive! And I lol'd at you not feeling pregnant but feeling like you'll have a positive test! Fx you'll get your BFP this month...with the irony that you almost didn't BD, mad at DH! lol....

RexMom -- You should try it. Did the 5-year predictions for your mother all come true? My own psychic intuition is telling me that you're pregnant now. You're a tough cookie to hold off on testing. Can't wait to hear the good news when you do!

 

[RexMom2Be]

Magical, everything did come true! I hope your intuitions are correct, I've had some cramps all day today, and crazy appetite. I just want to constantly eat! Has your DP had any further talks about TTC? Either way, if your psychic is right, he won't have a choice in the matter! Haha
