I've got my anti-witch spray!

[wishnhoping]

As you all know DH is going through a lot of health issues and I decided to look up his meds (hes on like 10 different pills) and sure enough side effects include low sex drive and inability to perform. So yah...

Unfortunately he is not healthy enough to get off those pills so it is what it is. We will continue to 'try' but odds are not in our favor.

Linz- cant wait to hear about your appt!

 

[leia37]

well at least you know why now and he doesnt have to feel emasculated. i hope you manage to get lucky and catch a window. big hugs wishin xx

Wishin, I agree with Leia!! I'm sure now that you know it makes you feel completely different about the situation! It's not that he doesn't want to it's that he is physically unable! If he's up for it, he should try to ask the doctor if there is something he can take to increase libido or help with stimulation. Never know! Worth a try.. And maybe if you come at it with the angle of telling the doctor you are trying to conceive it will be an ice breaker. I know as a woman I had problems with my sex drive a couple of years ago and I asked for help and it was QUITE difficult but DH thanked me later. Even if it is embarrassing to ask for the help I promise it will make him feel much better knowing he can perform and will do wonders for his self esteem. I couldn't imagine him keeping that all bottled up!!! Thankfully you now are aware and can help him realize it's ok!

AFM, I know I should have never even peed on that darn thing!!! LOL

I picked them up for good! Not going to test until Wednesday (8dpo) Then I'll prob test everyday til.. AF is scheduled to start on Sunday so we should know something this week!!! AHHHHH.... But I promise Linz, I will not test on OPK's again!!! (It did help with my urge to POAS though lol )

Haley - step away from the sticks!!!

Doodah - welcome back, so glad to hear you worked things out with OH.

Wishin - I agree with Haley, I think it's still worth speaking ot a doc.

Linz - hope your scan went well. Did you cry??? I've cried at all of mine! Just the most magical thing. Also, my obstetrician kept telling me that the ladies with morning sickness have the best chances of going full term with a healthy baby. I'm not sure if she was jsut saying that to make me feel better but it did help.

AFM - 9 days without vomiting, woop woop!

 

[Haleytivet]

LOL.. I woke up this morning to find that DH took all of my tests!! hmmm.. I wonder where he hid them???

 

[wishnhoping]

Haley- LMAO AT YOUR HUSBAND HIDING THE STICKS!!!! AHAHAHAHAH

 

[linz143]

All day today I had an abundance of creamy CM. having to chance my panty liner quite frequently. I ALWAYS look at the toilet paper after I use the bathroom. Have since I've been ttc. Tonight I got the faintest pink tinge on the paper. So faint that if I wouldn't have really looked I would have missed it. So me being the investigator that I am I checked my CM and CP. I'm high and soft and got a jelly like substance with pinkish discharge with a speck of red.

I did see this exact appearance the first time I was pregnant but wound up miscarrying. Sooo I'm uber excited to test in a few days and see if this is the start to my BFP!!!

Any of our preggos experience this pinkish tinge?? Do you think this could be implantation bleeding?

I'm trying to hold off testing til Thursday now. It was my original plan to test tomorrow morning but it would be too early if this was implantation right?? Ahhhhhhh! DH better give me back my tests soon or I'll be headed straight for the local Walgreens behind his back!! Haha

 

[wishnhoping]

ACK! HALEY SO EXCITING!!!!!! When is the witch supposed to show? Do you know how many dpo u are? This sounds soooo promising...Im mad at ur dh for stealing ur tests now! lol

 

[linz143]

Haley, I had implantation bleeding and it was a very, very light pink one time when I wiped and then scant brown spotting mixed in with cm for 5 days. My started on 12 dpo though, but according to my doctor it can occur anywhere from a week before up until when you would be expecting AF. Good luck my dear!! Sounds like a very good symptom!

AWESOME!!!! How soon after did you get a BFP???

 

[linz143]

I actually had my BFP the day before I got the implantation bleed. They said that it continues to burrow further into the lining for the first week, so that's why you can see it really from either the moment of implantation, right up to when you would expect AF to start.

For clarification, I got my BFP at 11 dpo and the implantation bleeding on 12 dpo.

 

[Haleytivet]

Oh ok! Good to know! Well I'm 8dpo so Im gonna try to hold out to test til Friday then I'll be 10 dpo! Still early but AF due for Sunday so I hope it turns positive soon!!!!!

 

[wishnhoping]

I keep checking to see if u tested! Lol

 

[giraffes]

Haley - so excited for you, fingers crossed this is it!!

 

[wishnhoping]

still stalking!!!!!!!

 

[nats77]

Hi ladies, just a quick check in
Linz - beautiful picture hun xxx
Haley - so excited for you, will keep a check just to find out how ur doing!
Everyone else hi x

Afm i'm off to see the specialist tomorrow to see what's going to happen about all these pains and abnormal bleeding i been getting. I'm thinking its endometriosis again so hopefully they will do a small op quite soon and deal with it, maybe why i'm not getting my bfp?? Other than that i've been an emotional wreck! i cry everytime i see/think or hear of other peoples pregnancy's, I'm so bad tempered it's untrue, and i think my poor oh has well and truly had enough i would not be suprised if he leaves me soon, nor would i blame him!
Sorry for yet another downer post where i'm feeling sorry for myself xxx

 

[Haleytivet]

OK so I am 9 dpo today. Of course I tested. Still BFN.

I seriously think I have the worst luck ever! Seems like one foot forward and 2 steps back!!! As you all know my husbands mom was diagnosed with breast cancer - she found out great news last night that she may not have to have chemo!! (YAY for that) My breasts have been a little tender but all day yesterday my left breast was WAY more tender and just in one spot. Last night I decided to massage them and I found a hard, very tender, lump in my left breast! I kinda freaked out a little and then did some research that it can be normal in very early stages of pregnancy. I called my sister who worked for an OBGYN for a couple years and she said it's likely just an enlarged mammary gland from all the hormones I've been on... I talked to my mom who had lumps as a younger woman and experienced a rigourous battle with my grandmother who died from Breast Cancer years ago. She said typically if it hurts then it's a good sign that it's most likely not cancer. PHEW!!!

BUT... This morning I woke up to find my breast has increased in size compared to the other one and it's firey red around the lump!! Geez, what's next????

So I'm scheduled for an appointment at 3:15 today to have it evaluated!!!

On the brighter side, I've read few instances where this was just your breasts going through changes getting them ready for breastfeeding etc!!

Let's hope it's just the hormones that caused this!!! AHHHHH!
