Let's welcome Soy to this cycle!!!! 42 BFP's so far!!!!

[autigers55]

MrsTomlin - Thanks for the advice. I might look into getting a new lotion, but today the itchness has eased up a lot. I think it was just due to my stress.

AFM - I got my blood work done for my progesterone test this morning and I won't know my results until Wed. The girl that did my lab work was rude to me and also jabbed the needle in my arm, so now I have a knot on my arm. I was so mad, I honestly wanted to slap the nasty look off her face. I also have a feeling AF is going to come. Idk why I feel this way, but I'm honestly starting to this this is not my month.

That is almost the same as me last cycle. I did 2-6; 80, 80, 120, 160, 200. I hope that works out better for you.

Hi autigers. Sorry the evil woman hurt you with the needle but based on your description I can tell she's deeply satisfied and complete with her job NOT. What's wrong with people sometimes? At least she has a job! and if she doesn't like I'm sure many other will love to take it.
I hate going somewhere and be treated with no manners whatsoever.
How is your skin? Feeling better today?

Angel I forgot to tell you in the other post. My children's school have dedicated this whole week to Cancer Research UK. They've being trying to raise awareness between students & parents and it's been very good. They had to find people that will sponsor them in a walk they've organised for today in Hyde Park. My daughter managed to raise £52 and she was so please with her contribution to help find a cure to this terrible illness.
I'm surprised and amazed at how strong you are. You are a fighter and this makes me realise you'll get your baby sooner or later because you've won already a much dangerous battle. I really feel for you and your mum; at this point in time is difficult not to know anybody who's been affected by cancer, either by a friend, close relative or themselves. It's unbelievable how our bodies can develop something so harmful but I'm glad to see how many people are surviving the illness because it means all the research and testing is being productive. Hopefully soon they'll be able to control every single case with a positive outcome.

Rin is scary when you say you can't see a doctor due to insurance. I guess we take for granted the national health service here and in Europe in general but your system seems a bit unfair.
I'm drinking FertiliTea at the moment to try regulate my cycles as I've read that irregular cycles may be the cause for mc's. It contains vitex also so you can't take it with soy I think but not sure.

mrstomlin 3-7 is a good start point and then you can see how it goes. Hopefully with the first cycle it'll be enough and you won't have to keep trying . Regarding O I think you could try opk's a Babee recommended.

mirena & goodvibes good luck with your cycles

Thanks. You should see my arm. It's black and blue and very tender, but at least the knot is gone down some. I've gotten bruises before from needles, but nothing as bad as this. When I was driving home, I could only use one arm bc i could not bend the other.

I'm feeling a lot better today. I'm still itching a little, but nowhere near as bad as I was yesterday. I think it was partly due to stress, but idk what else was causing it. I started to think I was having an allergic reaction to something, but everything I've ate/drank this week, I had before and all the stuff I use for washing clothes and I use to shower is the same. So that was easily ruled out. If it gets any worse, I'm going to go to the dr.

So... I had my first ultrasound today!!!!!

My little soy bean is measuring 6w6d, which makes perfect sense since I O'd on CD15. CRL is just shy of 8mm. Heartbeat was 136bpm. Technician said the yolk sac looked beautiful... I am so very relieved!!! Now maybe I can start telling more people

Hope everyone is doing okay and is well on your way to a BFP!!!

 

[MrsTomlin]

MrsTomlin:- Hello ... have you tried using OPK's??? there really good to help indicate when you may expect ovulation....


Also check your body signs, check your cervix, is it high soft and open.. also check your cervical mucus, is it like Eggwhites, thick clear and stretchy??? these all used together give a very good indication of when to expect ovulation

Charting your temps, will confirm when ovulation did occur... but wont tell you when to expect it x

Hey Babee_Bugs (Love the name). I have done Opk's and will get +'s the DAY AFTER my periods and then again weeks later:-/ Dr says they're false pos & to not start testing until CD20 due to my long cycles... BUT if I start Soy, I think I will continue to test early.

I was told that it is best to check internally vs tp or underwear after you've had a vaginal delivery (have DS-18mos) which I have never done, so I will try. But how do I know if my cervix high soft and open???? And if it is, is ovulation about to occur, already occured, or past?

Sorry for my long posts but I am just now trying other methods besides the "natural course" to get preggers

Congratulations Jesica!! It's so nice when you know everything is going well. Now you can relax a little bit and enjoy your pregnancy to the full!

Autigers it seems you had an urticaria episode. There are reactions to something you eat but it's difficult to know exactly what causes it. I have them sometimes as I said yesterday. Never as bad as yours in my case but my ds used to have them about 2 years ago. Poor thing he was so uncomfortable with it!!

[Madrid98]

Well autigers I just been washing my teeth and as I finished I looked at myself in the mirror and notice my skin in my neck and chest very red. Checked my tummy and I'm having an urticaria episode again. I guess is the parmesan cheese I ate tonight or maybe the chicken wasn't cooked enough. Who knows!! You aren't alone anymore girl!!!

 

[autigers55]

Congrats MomtoIandE!! That has to be a huge relief for you to know everything is just fine. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. H&H 9 months!!!

Madrid - I spoke too soon myself. I just started itching again. I'm going to do some research on urticaria and see if I may have that. I'm wondering if it also could be due to my seasonal allergies. My dd just recently got diagnosed with seasonal allergies too, and she has been sneezing like crazy the last 2 weeks. Our weather here has been so crazy, it wouldn't surprise me if that is the cause. I'm thinking with all the leaves falling off the trees and the pollen getting blown around again, it could be triggering my allergies. But who knows.

I just looked up urticaria and I don't have that. I'm itching but I don't have any red bumps anywhere. The only redness I have is due to scratching way too much and bringing the blood up to the skin.

MomtoIandE- Beautiful sono! I'm so happy for you!

 

[herald3]

MomtoIandE - Congrats. What an exciting time! So happy for you!

I'm sorry I have been MIA the last couple days. We are getting ready for a wedding today (husband's close friend), and TTC was not at the front of my mind. BUT, today I woke up to a little bit higher temp (not as high as it got when I O'd when TTC child #1...yes, I still have the charts), and I got a positive OPK. I'm hoping this is a true positive and not a false.
Here is a dilemma though: We are going to be at the wedding with a bunch of people that we always have gotten together to drink with. We all have hotel rooms tonight, so there is really no reason for me not to drink (and if I don't drink, everyone will assume I'm pregnant again...and we REALLY want this child to be a surprise...since everyone pretty much guessed I was pregnant last time). However, if I drink, my temperature will go up tomorrow no matter what from the alcohol (how essential is it that I know the exact day my temp rises?)...and I know I shouldn't drink a whole lot when TTC anyway. So, I'm not completely sure how to handle the situation, but you ladies have been great with advice in the past, so I'm asking you...do you have any suggestions?

Hi Ladies. Sorry for the short post but just quickly wanted to let you girls know that my mom's test came back all clean!! She is officially 4 months in remission. My next scan is December but I am pretty confident I am will be clean and make my 8 month remission mark!!

 

[herald3]

Angel- Great news! I'm happy for you and your family.

herald - I honestly don't know what to tell you. If you decide to drink, try not to drink too much. If you don't want to drink, then just try to think of a good excuse. That is usually what works for me. I usually use the "I'm not feeling to good" excuse or "i've had a headache all day" excuse. Then again I'm not big on drinking, so everyone believes me. If it was me, I wouldn't drink, especially since you could finally be Oing, but that's just me. Do what you feel comfortable with is the best advice I can offer. I don't want you not to drink just bc I said I wouldn't drink. Sorry if I'm not much help.

angel - That is wonderful news!!

Hi ladies, had to step away from b&b for a while, this ttc malarkey is stressing me out a bit too much.

I see there has been a few more bfps since my last visit - congratulations.

Im at a loss as to where I am with my cycles? Started spotting cd16 for 4days, cd33 I started spotting again then cd37 the spotting became heavier but again only when I wipe? So not sure if I should or should count that as af? 4days later and it's back to light spotting.

Didn't take soy cos I didn't know if I should count it as af or not? What do you ladies think? Should I take it today and count it as cd4? Or what?

 

[Madrid98]

Have you tested in case you are pregnant misskat?
