light hearted ttc

[AC1987]

Heeeyyy!


Ahhh I'm stressing big time!! I'm scared I might be pregnant again. my period is due tomorrow so in 2 days is really when I should stress. But I keep reading into my symptoms which is stupid seeing as for me its no different from when AF comes. I guess I'm just so stressed because I don't even want to tell DH my fears of being pregnant since I know he'll freak out.
So I'm hoping that my symptoms is just meaning that AF is going to be bad hahaha
Right now I just keep peeing non stop, and usually that doesn't start till I GET my period. And then I'm feeling nauseated but again I've had that when I'm actually ON my period.

 

[hello_kitty]

Oh no Ashley! I hope things turn out the way you want it to. I've had a few scares awhile back with nausea, and the peeing right before my period started. I am religiously on bc now since I know that we shouldnt get pregnant at this time. Dh wants to visit his family first in February of next year so the earliest for us is then.

If you are NOT pregnant, is there any way to use some type of bc? I know for me ever since taking the pills its eased my mind A LOT more. I dont have to worry every month.

 

[AC1987]

*sigh* thank goodness AF came last night!! I've never been so relieved to have my period ahhah

Usually we just use condoms... maybe once we're done having kids I might think about going on bc.. but right now I'm paranoid that if I got on it that it might make me infertile or something.

 

[ricschick]

phew glad it worked out for you!!!!

cant believe joanie will be 1 in 2 weeks!!! its gone so quick!! keep having bouts of broodiness, confussed weather I want another or not!! I would like joanie to have a sibling more close in age as whens she like 4 Jamie will be 8 and he wont want to play with her! so im thinking about it!!

 

[AC1987]

Yeah, that's why I want my last two close in age so they'll have a playmate.
Cassidy and Rose fight a lot now LOL! they always want the same toy

At times I miss having a newborn, but I think if I want to visit my family next year in the summer I can't have a baby or I'll just be stuck at home

If our next is a girl, dh will not want a 4th, close in age or not . I know for certain that Jayden and the 3rd will have at least a 2.5 age gap though. You are lucky that Phil (lol I am used to his name from your fb posts) is open to the idea of having 4, regardless. Makes me kinda wish our next would be another boy so that dh would be open to the idea of 1 more. If I really want a 4th after havign a girl, I would really, really, have to fight it and it would cause a strain on our marriage.

hey ladies long time no speak! Oh my gosh ashley we are so in tune still lol. I had a pregnancy 'scare' this week too. We've used condoms every time but unusually dtd a lot last month. Since jamie my cycles have been bang on 28 days, and heavy too. So when i started spotting on cd 21 i thought oh no its got even shorter! But it stopped again. I never got round to testing but af due day came and went and i felt super pregnant it loads of weird ways. I finally came on at 12 days late. Im convinced im having an early mc. Totally freaked out oh when i told him how late i was. Neither of us want another baby right now and his first words were 'well you'd just have to do what u needed to do..' now i dont think i could ever not keep a baby, and after so long without af id started to get used to the idea... Iv been an emotional wreck cried at getting my period even tho i didnt want to be pregnant in the first place.. Its made me realise i definitely want another tho!
Rics u are a baby addict haha. I can totally see how it is tho. Its soooo hard being a mom but they are just so cute dammit. I feel so hormnonal all the time since having babies. My brain is saying no more babies but my body wants to make em!

 

[hello_kitty]

I totally get what you ladies are going through about being broody. Every time I am around my fertile window, I wanna make a baby. Those are the times where I have to take a breather, measure the pros and cons and come up with the conclusion that now is definitely not the time for us. I had a pregnancy scare 2 months ago and dh also thought I was pregnant because we had an evap line, and instead of being excited, we were actually stressed over the issue of why we let it happen. Thankfully, my period came and now I use protection religiously. I want our next baby to be planned and accepted happily the same way his/her brother were, instead of them being an "oppsie"

We only have 7 months to go until we can officially ttc again, I think I can wait.

 

[ricschick]

jose have you still not tested then? I would if I was you as many still bleed but remain pregnant?!

I do want another 'there I said it' lol I think 6 is a good number to stop at lol!! just need to see if dh is up for it he wants another but has reservations about it

 

[josephine3]

i finally got some tests and had a clear bfn. It was afternoon tho so will try and test first thing again. Im still a little worried at the possibility of an ectopic as i still have some nausea and other symptoms. Think iv stopped bleeding tho so i guess thats a good sign. It wasnt heavy like i expected tho. Strange how broody its made me.. Oh says he isnt going anywhere near me lol. Its so hard he doesnt understand how emotional its made me feeling like im miscarrying. Because he cant feel it like i can. I said to him how can i get rid of something i can feel inside me!
Its so complicated being a woman. Who knew it was so easy to get pregnant once uv done it once! I feel such a slave to my hormones since having babies i can just feel where i am in my cycle wheras before i had no clue or real pattern at all.

 

[hello_kitty]

If you are pregnant, how many weeks would you be at this point? Can you go to the doc's and have them do an hcg test to confirm. If you are indeed having an ectopic, they can take care of that too. I remember before zachary, I had a chemical and even after I bled I still thought I was pregnant even 2 months afterwards but the doctor did blood test and confirmed "nope, its gone"

 

[josephine3]

so im spotting again. Sigh. Only brown but wth is goin on? Did another 2 hpt 1st one a little bit evap-y and todays maybe a squint of a line eye line lol. Driving me a little crazy.

 

[ricschick]

pics please!!!!x

 

[josephine3]

argh ok so i did another hpt which i thought was definitely a faint faint line on with a pink hint this time. So im having symptoms still after my presumed miscarriage. Iv been to the docs worried about ectopic, she sent me to hospital where they did a blood hcg which came back 0, so they said from that im def not preg with ectopic or anything else. Horrible doc did an internal as well from which i got no info other than the cervix is closed. Which im suprised at beens as iv been spotting for 2 weeks now. What else could it be?! Will try my best to put up a pic as it came out on the pic. But i suppose i can ignore it if docs says 0 hcg! I even have constipation and wet white discharge.
Im bloated, nauseous, tired but with sudden bursts of energy where i feel i must tidy up! Im itchy, (in both my pregnancies i had trouble with itchy rashes) and one very slightly positive test. My belly feels heavy too. Now i dont feel as pregnant as before i had the main bleed, but symptoms are defiinitely still there. Trying no to convince myself i could be pregnant with 0 hcg but it sure feels that way!

 

[hello_kitty]

I dont always practice what I preach now I'm in for another scare...I think I might be PREGNANT! Af is not due for at least another 8 days but I keep having persistent cramping since 4 days ago, and loads of discharge. Not going to go through the trouble of buying hpts since I hate trying to make out the line plus I will need to be at least over 4 weeks along for it to show up. I booked an appointment with my doctor for the 11th to do an hcg test right away. That would give me a definite answer...but I bet I wont be able to refrain myself from testing on day of af. If af shows up before the appointment, then I will just cancel the app and go on with my life.

 

[AC1987]

Ahhh Cassidy is 3 today!!

Actually Phil my dh never wanted kids, well I think he thought it was expected of him to have one kid but he wants a boy. To him if we have a boy then we're done. Rose was an oopise pregnancy and that was terrible as he was so upset at me for being pregnant.

So my next pregnancy I want him on total board for it.

Ever since my scare its been really making me sad and wanting to be pregnant again seriously these hormones I tell ya!!
I just miss the newborn baby stage so much!! Though I know the next time I wont get any help from my mom since she's been having so many health issues.. so its a big deterrent not to have another at the moment.

 

[hello_kitty]

Happy birthday Cassidy! So fast how our kids are growing!

Its weird because since having Jayden, I've been kinda emotionless about having another. I just feel content with the two of them. With Zachary, I was super eager to try again so he could have a friend to play with, and now that both of them are playing so well, I dont know where a 3rd fits in. I dont miss the newborn days...not much anyways. As I recall, I thought the newborn days were the most boring since all they did was eat and sleep. I couldnt wait for the phase would be over so we could move on to the "coos."

 

[josephine3]

oh Lily not u too lol. What is going on around here?! Will be super crazy if we are all actually pregnant together again haha.
This pregnant feeling with no positive test is driving me crazy. Im so frustrated!

 

[ricschick]

Oh wow I can't wait for you to test!

We have decided to NTNP and see what happens we couldn't actually decide to go for it and I'd already come off the pill so we agreed to NTNP until af comes and then see how we feel.

 

[hello_kitty]

Jo - its crazy isnt it? I am in the 2ww, if af arrives before the doctor's appointment then all is settled. Could there be another reason for you to have those pregnancy symptoms because an hcg level of 0 is a pretty big factor to rule out pregnancy.

Claire - so excited for you to ttc again. If I am not pregnant this time, we wont be trying again until at least February of next year.
