Just thought i'd explain my journey & say hello!

[LoolaXx]

You are soooo knowledgable kika! Clever woman. Well, I don't like the fact I don't get period cramps and i hate the fact I only really spot brown during my period with small bits of bright red at times! Doesn't that indicate a problem? Don't cramps signal the breakdown of the unfertilised egg? So if I have none, here comes back my initial worry of not ovulating in the first place but today where I actually exercised maybe I'm helping helping everything work because I now have God damned cramps I'm gonna do everything this cycle. Drink even more water than normal take vitamins, exercise lightly which is meant to help fertility, and bd every other day from when my period has gone so we're bound to catch it no matter when I O (IF i o.. ) I'll get there won't I?

Anyway. I'm at work so i'll check back during my lunch break and any free time but there isn't normally any

I've never had period cramps and I know that painful period is no good as it might indicate endometriosis. Spotting and bleeding cloths is a problems but it could be fixed by eating and drinking baby making friendly food make sure to google them...

Cramps have nothing to do with breaking unfertilised egg, cramps come from spasms of the endometrium trying to shed the lining when it becomes obvious that no baby had implanted in it. A healthy endometrium doesn't need lots of cramps or spasms to shed... I think the easiest and cheapest way to find out if you're ovulating that requires no waiting on appointments and specialists is to start temping I'm sure Kim and Tara will explain how to do it

And my knowledge comes from 10 yea s of seeing specialists and talking to girls on forums like you sweets

Have a nice day at work and

hugs

On a good note .. (Well I guess it's good?) you know I said since doing that Zumba I have cramps? Well now I also have bright red blood! never been so happy to see blood in my life.

Oh, just seen your newest post lol maybe it's not a good thing I temp every day at work lol but for different reasons and I wouldn't have the first clue how to temp when ttc but I said I was gonna start last cycle and I'm definitely doing it this cycle! Does it actually confirm wether an egg has been waiting?!

 

[HopingCarter]

Thanks ladies, I will try that Kika, seems better than the "insert image" way lol

If it doesn't work, I will try that

 

[Kika7]

Ya Shara click on the paper clip

Lou Lou I think it confirms that ovulation actually did happen compared to may be happened or may be not if you ovulate and you have clear tubes and Jessy has live sperm the NHS can't help you sadly :/

 

[HopingCarter]

Oh wow!! Just read the 2 posts before mine!!

Yes Louisa!! You will get there honey! I know it seems like forever. I thought I never would, and if anything I would be the last one because ALL OF YOU ladies were officially "trying" before me. I just have to thank him for even giving me these s so that I do have some hope for my LO's survival. I would still go to the Dr's if I were you, just as you planned, but like Kika said, they can and will help with whatever is holding up the process. You've been preggers before so you know it can happen. It's just finding out if there is something stopping the 2 from meeting, or maybe it's just not the right time. I don't know I'm just so sorry that you did get af because I really wanted this to be our month, ALL 3 OF US. To think we could both get pregnant at the start 2015 together, after ALL the non-sense/heartache we had to encounter in 2014, just seemed like fate to me, fate that this year would be a better year for us, so I'm deeply sad over this

I agree, Kika, you are so right! I thought I had endo before because my cramps are ALWAYS THE WORST. Ever since I started getting AF, at age 10!! I don't ever remember a time of it not being horrible cramps. My dr's in the past, as well as my OB, which is going to be my Midwife for this pregnancy as well, have said that the exams have come back negative. So I don't know what else could make me cramp that bad, but she as well as I thought for sure it was Endometriosis, which they could "treat" sort of if you did have it and TTC.

I have to hope that everything is okay, I mean look at jodie. It took her and OH a year with no luck, bless them, so I'm not worrying toooo much yet (ok maybe a little). If my tubes are clear and I do ovulate and jesse's swimmers are fine then all we can do is wait and hope! But this is my problem - because I'm significantly younger than most couples who would go to the doctor over ttc, I'm paranoid. Of what they'd think, and I dont know who to go to about it or how to approach the situation! It's silly I know because we're engaged, we live together and money is comfortable so what's there to feel bad about I'm stupid I know.

Shara I wish this could have been yours mine and Tara's month too! It sucks that it isnt but maybe next one! Enjoy this time with Romeo and enjoy knowing that you've got a little bun growing healthy because Ok it wasn't mine and Tara's month but it was yours (but it will be mine and taras next month watch lol)

I'm popping into tesco on my way home to get a new pack of prenatal vitamins as I run out and those pregnacare ones are huge and taste foul! I'm really adamant to make it happen this month. I'm gonna do absolutely everything right and maybe then we will stand more of a chance!

Work is really quiet today. I'm on dementia floor today and a lot of them have an afternoon sleep after meds, so I'm just catching up on paperwork and charts. it could be worse

 

[Kika7]

Lou Lou go to gp and request blood work on hormones and or/ ultrasound. Tell them you're TTC and you're periods suddenly got very short was only spotting no proper bleed. Do that this week! Like tomorrow

Shara I love your siggy and 7 October is so cute also we are both due on Wednesday --> best day of th week and 16 is like 7 1+6=7

 

[LoolaXx]

Loving the sig shara!!!

Hmm I may do that kika, so do I just book a normal appointment with my doctor for it? and say what? Can I do it over the phone or would I have to see her as I'm working a full 12 hours tomorrow. i only went in until 5:30 to cover nurse on duty as she went home ill after passing out. Home now

 

[Kika7]

I think book appoint and see her, look worried and concerned and don't take no for answer, ask her why she thinks your cycles messed and what she suggest

 

[Kika7]

Lou Lou I just remembered I didn't answer your boy/girl question. I've always thought I'd have a boy and for December chinese gender predictor and moon phase theory predicted boy, but I've a girl feeling with this one for some reason ... And the first one I was sure was a boy--> that was my intuition of course.

I would take any healthy baby no gender preferences...I just want a baby

Shara, Lou Lou what about you sweets?

 

[LoolaXx]

Awh, a baby Anthony

Me too, I just want a baby. The end! Lol, i don't have a preference as such but I would LOVE a girl some day! for no real reason, but I just think there are so many nicer girl names, prettier girl clothes, and just purely for the small things like doing her hair and girly things together

Believe it or not; I'm not normally wrong at these but I think:

Kika-
Kim-
Tara- another
Shara- without a doubt!
Jodie-

 

[Kika7]

Haha! What are shara and jody's?

Ya I've a girls feeling --> I've had two boys names I was so sure i'll have 2 boys for some reason and now I'm constantly googling girls names and girls every thing *blush*

 

[HopingCarter]

You know Louisa, as much as I want a boy (and y'all know how bad I want a boy) I honestly feel in my heart it's going to be a girl. Even with the Chinese Gender Prediction saying it's a boy, NORMALLY I WOULD BE SUPER GEEKED AND HAPPY!! But my HEART is screaming, you're gonna be disappointed, it's a Girl!!! .....I'm happy with either, TRULY, but I have no feeling at all that this my boy yet (noticed I say yet because I'm sure we're not done after this one)

 

[LoolaXx]

Nope I still stick with boy for you shara all will be revealed!

I have a question -
Tara, if you check here today or whenever and read this! Help me please
I'm gonna start temping, I've ordered some already but do I start temping from when my period goes to create a whole chart? Or just closer to O? Also, I want to chart so what website is there to use so I can put it in my signature so others can see and give input on how it looks(whether it looks like I actually do ovulate!) because when it comes to temping whilst ttc I have no idea!

 

[HopingCarter]

We will see indeed, but momma usually knows just so you know

 

[LoolaXx]

Very true! i just see blue everywhere for you. Either way, it's gonna be a beaaaautiful baba!

 

[Kika7]

I think a few months ago I'd feel a bit disappointed about a girl myself not because I wanted a boy but because I just had this feeling it's a boy all the time and for years I've had it and a girl well wound t disappoint me but would have caught me by surprise.

Remember a few days I found out about my pregnancy I talked to a childhood friend I've not seen for years and she said I should talk to my baby and visualize it and that'll how I'll fall pregnant easier --> she practices meditation and other eastern techniques. So I asked her if I shoukd visualize a baby or a certain gender and she said --> look deep inside you, you know what gender baby you'll have...and I didn't say anything to her but thiught about my gut feeling for boys ever since I started TTC...and a few minutes later she texted me and her text said "boy" I got goosebumps reading it ...

However, I do now have a girls feeling and not only im not disappointed but I'm kinda excited ...

Ya ...I'd choose 5 same gender babies over no babies at all any day gender don't matter

 

[HopingCarter]

You don't KNOW how much I want blue to be true, it's just have that soul wrenching feeling that it's a girl. Otherwise, you know I'd agree with you 100%, that would set me on if I felt that in my heart.

 

[HopingCarter]

Sorry Louisa, didn't mean make it seem like I was being aggressive. Didn't mean to say it that way.
