January TTC-ers

[disney516]

Thanks mummykp! I agree fx and baby dust to all of us!! I finally got my crosshairs today, I was SO excited!! You can see my chart and when I DTD. I hope it is enough! I didn't BD after I O'd since I was sore (lol sorry tmi). I hope that's okay! I saw that you have been tired, I have been too. I keep finding excuses so I don't get my hopes up though. I'm like "I'm tired because I went to bed late and I have a lot on my mind". lol I pray that there is a true excuse for this though - like BFP coming lol
As for your ECWM, I don't check myself and never have so I have no idea. I wouldn't worry though, I'm sure you have BD'd. Didn;t you say you had a positive OPK?

Lozzie - your symptoms sound so good! I'm honestly not great at symptom spotting but I am looking to learn lol. Tired and frequent urinating sound pretty right on to me! Cant wait till the 31st if you start testing then!! I'm ready to see some tests!! LoL!

Mrs Gj - Thank you! I hope they swim their little butts of lol! BTW 9/10 times I am also posting on my phone, so please disregard my spelling errors as well lol. Soooooooooo excited for you that you are at the end of TWW. I am excited to be in the TWW with you. But you get to test soon!! Test when you want but I wouldn't mind looking at some tests when you are ready lol (no pressure really though, I'm just excited for you). I think you are very fertile your first cycle off of BCP's though. I remember my OB telling me that.

Bubble - OMG I DO NOT blame you for being upset! I am upset for you!! The fact that she knew you were upset about ttc and STILL asked is just not nice! Even if she didn't know, I personally think its a little forward to ask you to take that on. Unless she is paying you like a daycare? Please feel free to vent, I want to vent for you ..... sorry clearly I'm a little emotional lol.

As for symptoms ... I don't know I could probably find a hundred but like I said I keep finding excuses like "ohh slight cramping ... hmm probably from the veggie/fruit smoothie I made this morning" "hmm I am exhausted lately ... probably from all the stuff I've had on my mind and from going to bed late" lol so I dunno ... maybe my symptoms will start coming out and smacking me in the face who knows... I HOPE SO!!! I just want to at least get smacked with a BFP lol!
We are currently having a blizzard here so I will be at home for the next 48 hours. Our state has declared a state of emergency and we are not allowed to be on the roads at all otherwise its a misdemeanor. Too bad I didn't need to BD because I have all the time in the world now and nothing else to do lol... now in the TWW I just have time to think about every little symptom and wonder lol

Okay I'm done rambling ...

 

[disney516]

Blahh just got a pic sent to me of my husband's cousin who just had her baby. She got married a few months before we did and is only a year older than me ..... Y does this have to be so hard. I really thought it wouldn't crush me but it kind of did I really am happy for her bug I just cannot explain how bad I want this. I don't even know... sorry just having a moment.

Cmon spermies swim swim swim!! Lol

 

[Mrs.Gj]

Disney, you officially O'd! That's amazing! Welcome to your tww. I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes for you.

Bubbles, I'm so sorry your friend upset you, I'm sure she didn't mean to. Women can be so unintentionally cruel sometimes. I can't say how I would feel in relation to ttc but I can tell you, I would not be happy about someone asking me to watch their baby just because I am available. That is what immediate family, day cares, baby sitters are for. If you want to part me for my time, let's talk. In regards to your symptoms, sometimes is best to not focus on them. You can still get your BFP. You aren't out yet!

Mummy KP, I wish I had an answer as to what is going on with your cycle. Since you ate taking the relaxed approach, try not to worry about it. I think you're getting plenty of fun time in and even if you aren't sure when you did O, you have an awesome chance as long as you do someone this cycle.

Lozzie, your symptoms sound promising! Do you think you'll be able to hold off on testing? Friday seems so close but so far away!

I finally gave in to testing after I was crazy moody today. I tested tonight after my sister nudged me to test tonight and not tomorrow. I'm so glad I did. I will be moving over to the October board. BUT I definitely would like to still follow you ladies so I will still be watching this thread and looking for all of you're amazing updates. Super good luck and Fx for all of you!

P.S. I do have pics but will only post if all four of you are honestly ok with it. I know I got mine super early in the process but I have watched my sister struggle with infertility twice now so I have seen how real the struggle can be and do not want to upset any of you.

 

[disney516]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Ahhhh I'm SOO excited for you!!!! Whoohoo!!! This made my night!! Please if everyone is okay share your picture!! How dpo are you and any other symptoms today?
Omg I really hope I join you soon!!

 

[Mrs.Gj]

THANK YOU! I'm 12 DPO. My biggest symptom was crying over everything. I cried twice today happy tears. Once was while watching a tv show and the other was from a song that played on the radio. I've always thought it was a sweet song, but I never cried because it was just do beautiful. In fact, other than this last week, I've only cried happy tears twice my whole life. Once was when we bought my engagement ring, and the other was my wedding day. I also flipped out on my husband this morning because he was being productive and wanting to get going and I just had a million reasons I wasn't ready yet to get un lazy. The only other symptom that I've never had before was my tummy feeling like I had been out drinking the night before and I didn't drink at all. G Kind of like that acidic ughh need to put something in my tummy to settle it feeling) but was gone within 15 of waking up even though I didn't eat. I put it in my notes but honestly thought it was my body playing tricks on me. I would absolutely love all 4 of you ladies to join me in the October due date month.

 

[disney516]

Aww how exciting mrs.gj. I hate to lose u to the October boards but I know u have to move on and I'm excited for u to have gotten your bfp!! I hope I start crying soon lol

Hope to see u soon in the October boards!! Halloween baby, how fun!!!!!

 

[Mrs.Gj]

I'm just so thankful I am not middy and crying for no reason. That idea petrified me. Lol.

 

[BubbleOnBoard]

Omg congratulations!!!!!!

So so so happy for you!

I've woke up with a whole new attitude - that my time will come and for now I will just embrace the children I have and be grateful for their health! Wonder how long my high spirits will last �� but my son snuck into my bed last night and I woke up with him all snuggled up to me, puts things in perspective!!

October babies are amazing, my daughter is the 9th October! I hope they are all lovely over there for you!

And please check in, would be amazing if we all end up over in October group, I'm not feeling too confident but I'm only 7dpo so anything could happen ha ha!! Xxx

 

[Mrs.Gj]

Bubbles- Thank you. I'm still in shock. I'm glad to know I haven't suddenly turned into a big cry baby for no reason and the morning sickness and cramps weren't all in my head. (I've thought I was pro before and was so so so sick and sensitive to smells just to get a bfn.) So I was so scared it was all I'm my head. It's still not fully real. I think I'm in shock because I was so sure I missed the egg I cried the day after O.

I think it's amazing that you woke up with such a great outlook this morning. Realistically it may not last but that's ok. I think I would try to make it a point to specifically point out to yourself how magical life is right now and things that you love about it. Even just once a day. Little things like snuggles with your son. Then on the hard days, you have something to balance it out a bit. I hope you don't have too many more rough days ahead. My heart breaks for you ladies who have tried for so long.

 

[disney516]

One bfp so far!! That is major baby dust for the rest of this group!!
How is everyone else doing?

Temping is new to me but it's been the same elevated temp for the past few days. Don't know if that's good or bad. I washed the thermometer today and will see if that makes a difference tomorrow. What do u guys think?

 

[Lozzielaula]

Aaaaa congratulations Mrs.Gj, that news has made my day!! :-D So exited for you! Our first bfp! I hope we can all join you very soon over in the october boards

xxxx

 

[MummyKP]

Omg Mrs Gj that's amazing news!! So so happy for you, the first to get a BFP out of us all, huge congratulations!! Would love to see pics of test aw this has made my day a whole lot better, good work Mrs hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months! Xx

 

[BubbleOnBoard]

Right so yesterday I had a crying fit as I hurt my knee - well more then hurt it but still its an ongoing problem that I NEVER cry about. I didn't think anything about it until today when I cried my eyes out watching 'don't tell the bride' ha ha.

The question is, is this exhaustion or a possible symptom? Oh and I also fell asleep on the sofa at 6pm! That's very unlike me!

I cant work out if im just desperate to find symptoms or if theyre really there!

Im 8pdo today xx

 

[MummyKP]

Bubbleonboard crying at things were Mrs Gj's symptoms so it's a good sign also being tired is too! So fx for you! Keep an eye out for any other symptoms and keep us posted

I've had some cramping again today and back pain. I'm also really tired but I think that's due to work/lack of sleep!

 

[Caseyren]

I'm on dpo 13. AF was due yesterday. Was going to test but my DH wants me to wait until I'm around 1 week late. AF can be unexpected. I'm getting anxious.....

Around dpo 4 I started having dull cramping/aches in both sides of lower abd. going to my back and they have continued all the way up to today. They have been stronger the past 2 days. I've had a heavy/fullness in lower abdomen a few days and I've had a weird tugging/stinging sensation a few times below my belly button. noticed more CM. bloated. no tender BBs. No feeling sick. Not too much fatigue. I have noticed I have been very very very happy. I'm normally a happy person, but I've really noticed a change. haha

i feel crazy

 

[BubbleOnBoard]

Omg how have you held out in testing already!!

I'm rubbish at holding out. The way I see it is however depressing a bfn is, I would rather see it sooner rather then later and stop holding out hope. But I keep seeing posts where they say they done get a bfp until a week after a missed period!!!!!

It's so hard to know when the right time to test is!!
Good luck for when you do test!!! Keep us all updated xx

 

[BubbleOnBoard]

I go back to the doctors on Monday for my blood results! I'm hoping that if I'm not pregnant this month then there will be a magic pill they can give me that will get me pregnant!! Ha ha. Here's hoping!! X

 

[MummyKP]

How many cycles have you been trying bubbleonboard? What cd are you now & how many dpo are you? I hope you get your results on Monday,mail be thinking of you! I hate the fact I can't test until at least a week Saturday, seems so far away! I think I'm out this month tbh, my body has given very odd signs and don't know if and when I O'd, so I feel we are out this month! But I guess I can't assume im out until AF shows up! Hope the time flies by! X

 

[Caseyren]

Bubbleonboard: haha I know but I'm scared to test even thought I really really want to.

If the doc can give out magic pills please sign me up plz!!!!!!!

 

[Caseyren]

Also - I know I'm new to this so I guess right now I hold off testing because I kind of like that hope and not knowing?? haha I guess if I get a BFN then I'll be sad and start looking to the next month and yeah it would be nice to know so I can breath a little but I guess the unknown and maybe being pregnant is also a fun feeling. I hope it doesn't take us long, but if it does I'm sure I'll change my opinion on that hahaha This is exhausting. My DH told my I need to relax and go with the flow. ugh! I have never, ever wanted anything so bad in my entire life so its hard to just relax!
