light hearted ttc

[sg0720]

thank you ladies. i have no will power when it comes to testing but everytime i buy a pregnancy test my period comes LOL...its FEAR that is holding me back...the fear that when i buy the test AF will show up..lol...

When you ladies found out you were pregnant did you ever check you CM or CP...notice anything about it...

the reason i ask and i know you can NOT rely on CP but my CP is really high i can bearly reach it and my CM is clear! usually before AF it is creamy liek lotion or stick (sorry if TMI)... i dont have any cramping liek af or nothing...in my morning my nipples are a little tender but nothing too extreme could be the way i sleep or something...

Sarina no I never checked my cervix WAY too sensitive I was able to check cm before I got pregnant but now its all wacky, I assume once I stop bfing my body'll go back to normal... maybe.


Looking good boxxy!


AHHHH!!!! My good baby didn't have ANY naps today!! talk about FUSSY!! wow! So then I thought I know I'll take her for a walk cause that usually calms her down and shes happy. So about half way through she starts crying... great.. well I keep going get home, turns out she had pooped while out and thats why she was so fussy.
So I think oh maybe she'll have another nap, cause shes acting all tired... but nope!!

Lovely pic boxxey!

Sarina-More power to you. I probably would've peed on like 20 tests by now already lol.

AFM, im cd9 today. I've been away because i have just been very tired and just talking to dh as much as possible also trying to just enjoy pampering myself. Also, i have been going out with my friend and just spending time with her as well so i been pretty busy. I had random spotting for a few hours yesterday. But it stopped the same day. Dont know what the cause is but im pretty sure it has something to do with the bcps. Im just ready to be done with the bcps if you ask me. I have been bleeding more with the pills than without. I dont know if thats a good or bad thing. Also, forgot to update about the hematologist. He said i am borderline anemic because my iron levels are at 25% and anemic will be 15% but he thinks its due to my long AFs. So i have to take iron supplements every day until my next appt and work from there. Also, found out dh has to get tested for the Hemoglobin C trait because if we both have it..then our baby will have a 25% chance of being anemic. So he has to get that done. But other than that everything has been going pretty good. Time is flying quickly. I am almost done with week 1 of month 3 bc packet So thats pretty good. Cant wait for the day I take that last pill and be done with it.

[AC1987]

[sg0720]

yes they do...i still dont have my period and no "normal sign of her" yesterday my CP dropped a little bit and felt open and wet with what looked like fertile CM.....and then i checked today and it is back way high soft and wet still...i dotn know this stuff is so heartbreaking only because i gave my hopes up thinking there was a chance...

You can tweak it to how you like though, I know brewers yeast is a key ingredient only I didn't have any

I also added in powdered ginger as I read that it helps increase letdown

 

[Blondiejay]

Thanks Ashley, I might give that a go as I need to increase my milk supply.

So, since giving Darcy formula she is still going roughly 2 hours in between feeds. I thought the gaps might increase :0(

 

[AC1987]

Oh no not at all, shes still tiny the only thing I find giving formula does, well for me, is that when I'm exhausted and can't be bothered to feed her I just warm up a bottle LOL!

 

[Blondiejay]

Formula feeding is good though as my oh can help out too.
Since formula feeding Darcy has had 2 explosive poo's. Cleaning her up was a 2 man job!!
Last night Darcy slept in her moses basket for just over 2 hours at bedtime!! I am so happy!! Plus she has slept in it again today for 2 hours. Yay!!

 

[boxxey]
