light hearted ttc

Ashley-Boo for AF visiting while you are trying to have fun. Hope her stay is short And majority of my family has possession of one..because we were all use to it from my dad and him showing us how to protect ourselves especially seeing we are 2 females. So I guess it worked in my favor

AFM, my cycle sure is passing by without notice. Cant believe 17 days has passed already. Im on cd17 today and there is nothing new going on. DH and I continue to dtd every day in hope of something happening. I only have 2 cycles to try to get a bfp with or else back on the bcps and going to just wait until his first deployment in Spring in which he will be gone for 6 months and then we will try again. If no bfps come between this or the next cycle..I wouldn't be too worried or upset. Just have to be a little more patience I guess. Well, Im thinking of cleaning and then going to the gym to work out a bit Im hoping to atleast get a bfp soon though but we shall see.

Blah I'm in such a bad mood... every year my Dh doesn't want to celebrate his bday and I want to.. and so I didn't make dinner because I was hoping we'd go out, but hes refusing to reply any of my texts or messages, so I know we most likely won't be going out to eat And we've still got friends visiting for the month, and they keep asking whats for dinner... I guess I gotta say now its just sandwiches.

Ashley-If I were you, I would plan to go to a restaurant and just surprise him. My dad is the type that doesn't like parties for birthdays but we still threw him a surprise party and he was pleased. If I were you, I would just do it just because and say that its a birthday gift besides, its always good to go out every now and then.

AFM, today is cd18. Hoping my cycle is still the same or close to how it was when I was on the birth control. Im hoping it didn't extend by much if its not close to it. Also, I just received an email saying that im accepted into Bellevue College And also tomorrow is my job orientation So everything is going well. I have been getting on and off cramps so I don't know but just waiting for this cycle to end.

 

[AC1987]

We finally did go out, and I think he was happy in the end. I just think hes just not really into birthdays, while me and my family were big on them.

And congrats!!! what will you be taking?

diagnostic ultrasound technology

 

[josephine3]

Oooh what an interesting subject to study!
Patrice im so glad ur around to remind me what cd im on else id have no idea! Will be interesting to see who gets af first, for some reason i think u will have the shorter cycle. Also why bother going back on the bcps for the ttc break id just let ur body adjust to being off them..

 

[mzswizz]

thanks yeah I decided to just stay off the pills

 

[josephine3]

Good plan! Of ur oh isnt with u anyway that will be protection enuf lol. tho the way u 2 go at it u never kno lol

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-we have finally sat down and talked and just like how you said...going at it...we decided the pills lol

AFM, im on cd23 today. I also started my job today. It was pretty much computer based training. I have two days of it and this is my first day so 1 more day of computer based training. Well as a welcome home from work gift from DH, we ended up dtd before he went off to work I have been crampy but we shall see if that's because of ovulation about to occur soon. Well dh and I talked and if we don't conceive this cycle, we are just going to wait until he comes back from deployment to try because atleast we have more months to try in. I will be go back on birth control in the mean time because we always have unprotected sex of course so we don't want to conceive and I end up having to go through the delivery etc myself because he will be away. His deployment is 6 months so it isn't that long of a wait if you ask me. I have started my job and I will be starting school in August so those will keep me busy until we can REALLY get back to ttc with all the opks etc Yesterday, DH bought me a car and I love it and also I totally forgot to post pics of my hair style when I got out the salon The pics are below:

 

[AC1987]

awwww how awesome a car!! and love the hair!!
Are you sad you can't ttc yet?

AFM my friends have left now so I'm getting back onto routine, we have a huge garden now, the corns growing, tomato everything, the only things that's been ready to eat so far are the beans and the yellow summer squash.

 

[josephine3]

Aww im jealous of ur gardening ! I miss my vegetable garden. How do u find the time?

Patrice will ur oh be visiting then even when he is away? Will he be back for a good while after that to be around for any pregnancy?

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-currently we are ttc until further notice And thank you.

Jo-While he is on deployment...he wont be visiting as far as I know but I think if baby is involved, something will be worked out. His deployments are only 6 months long so that's not bad. And after the deployment which is in spring of next year, he wont be up for another deployment I think in 2 yrs so that's good so he will be around for awhile.

 

[mzswizz]

How is everyone?

AFM, well today is 4th of July! So happy Independence Day to all U.S. residents! Also, AF is suppose to arrive today (based on bcp cycle) but im pretty sure AF will not come. Im going to wait 2 weeks because that will make it 6 weeks AF hasn't shown up so then I will test. I am also going to schedule a doc appt soon so I can go and get checked out to make sure everything is okay for ttc. So we shall see. But no AF as of today so that's a milestone Also, my nipples are STILL SENSITIVE. But I don't know if that means im going to ovulate or what.

 

[AC1987]

I think I'm about to ovulate and I'm not even temping but now I'm so used to keeping track of what my body is doing I do it without meaning too!

I have SO many veggies its crazy!!

How are your babies ladies? any walking? ahha Cassidy is!! and super fast too!!

Patrice I hope you had a good july 4th, it was low key here since theres a baby and all so no late night things.

 

[mzswizz]

Yes I did have a good 4th of july Ashley!

AFM, well today I am going to schedule a doc appt. Hopefully I can get in asap. Also, dh and I are going to the pet store to look around. And today I went into work but now I am back home. DH and I dtd yesterday and none of his soldiers came out so I don't know if that means im ovulating or something. Also my nipples are still sensitive and get erect most of the time Hopefully I can finally get some answers soon. Also, dh said his deployment will be in June of next year so if we do conceive soon, he will be here for the pregnancy, labor and delivery, and also a few months of the baby being here so that's good. Let's just see if we do conceive.

 

[AC1987]

Me and my dh have been at it like rabbits, musta been something he ate we haven't been this way since before Cassidy was conceived LOL!!

We were at our friends cook out yesterday, and she asked us when we're gonna have another and my DH said "not til retirement" which I hope hes not serious... I mean I would like my kids to be close in age.. but since he never had that growing up he doesn't know what its like to have a close sibling.

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi ladies hope all is going well. Ashley, glad that you and your husband is having a good time. My husband wants to dtd every other day...I have noticed an increase in his sex drive but sadly I keep pushing him away since I'm never in the mood he's getting rather pissed off now. We dont mind having another one but I havent had a single period, so I guess its a little hard to conceive, unless I give in to my husband and start dtd on demand then we might have a chance.

July 4th was fun, although it was cold and we were under prepared. We went to the park without chairs, a blanket, or jackets for neither of us. We only brought a light blanket to wrap Zachary with and a put him in a sweater. Thought it was gonna be hot but it turned out soo cold. We were so tempted to leave even before the fireworks started, but thought it would be a total waste of out time to just leave. Zachary enjoyed the fireworks though.

 

[AC1987]

aww.. I bet you're not anxious for another LO at the moment? How old is Zachary now?
I have a hard time getting over how darn fast babies grow!!!
Cassidy is now at the point where I ask her where's the teddy bear? and she'll go get it.

 

[hello_kitty]

I would be delighted to have another one right now, so they could be close in age, but there is nothing I can do at the moment since im not having any periods. My husband suggested I stop bf him and just switch to formula so I can possibly get my period again and ttc, but I wanna bf until Zachary is a year. Oh well, 4 months will go by fast. Zachary is 8 months, but I keep thinking he's 6 since he acts like a 6 month old and is born 2 month early

 

[mzswizz]

Wow your kids are growing so fast.

AFM, well it looks like my body maybe back to normal seeing that im getting close to my normal cycles Now I have finally realized that the sensitive nipples are an effect when you stop taking birth control pills. Of course, I had to google it right Which I had a feeling because I took a test a few days ago and it was a bfn but I was still having sensitive nipples so I put it to the bcps. Im happy that I have my doc appt. tomorrow too. I'm going in because I noticed that I have this bulge that is on my left ovary/pubic area side. And when I cough, sneeze or stand etc, I get sharp pains or cramps and I don't know what's going on. Hopefully, its nothing major and its just something can be easily fixed Today, dh and I have been spending time together and we both go into work soon. Good thing im only going in for 3 hrs today. I plan on testing again next week Thursday (the 18th) just in case I did ov a few days ago. All in all..everything is going good..no complaints.
