long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[raventtc]

Hey ladies! Glad to hear sooo much is going on in here i am going to go and try and catch up on things....my FF is acting soo strange this time around. I haven't had ewcm but I was taking some allergy med's and that is why, so it doesn't know what to show for me. If i leave it on the regular setting i am 4dpo and if I move the settings then i am either 8dpo or even 6dpo....it just keeps switching on me. So we wait and see what was right I guess -- right

Raven I'd say cd13 looks about right for ovulation, although I'm no expert lol. How do you feel this cycle? When are you going to test?

Told my parents this afternoon. They were absolutely thrilled of course. Cue lots of screaming and crying from my mum who said she had given up hope! It was such a lovely moment. I had wrapped the born in 2013 sleep suit I bought below a box of dates I bought home from Dubai. She opened the gift, admired the dates and then took out the baby grow and seemed really confused. She then said in disbelief, you're not are you? I answered yes and then cue the crying from everyone lol! We also facetimed my sister at the beginning so she got to see my parents reactions. Was lovely

We're telling hubby's mum tomorrow. We bought her a really nice special grandma mug. I'm going to serve her usual tea or coffee in the mug and see how long it takes for her to realise!

Everything seems more real now! Can't believe i'll be 11 weeks on Wednesday. And my scan is a week on Friday!

Anyhoo I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted from the holiday and feel very very rough! Hope you ladies had a lovely weekend. Xxxxx

 

[Diddums]

Can't believe I am 11 weeks today Gerbera is now the size of a lime! Xxx

 

[raventtc]

Love your story about how you told your parents...how did it go with hubbys mom?? time is moving fast ... a lime sooo cute!!

 

[bnporter81]

Raven, I'm glad to hear things are moving along for you nowI know it must make you feel good

Katya, sounds like it went great telling your momMake sure you tell us how it went with DH's mom as well. Do you mind if I ask how long you were using the progesterone cream before you got your BFP? Also, if you were using it 2 or 3 weeks out of the month? I'm thinking about going back to using the progesterone...I only used it for a short while and seemed to have good results with it. I just wondered how you used it. Do you think it helped at all with your cycles getting more normal in the last several months?

Hope everyone has a great week

Telling mother in law was lovely as well! She was a lot more subdued. We bought a really cute special grandma mug. She always has a mug of tea or coffee when she comes over so we gave her the coffee in the grandma mug. She read it and looked a bit confused and asked, "who does the mug belong to?" We said it was hers and she smiled and asked "are you?" To which I answered yes and she was really really happy. I then made us dinner and she came into the kitchen and gave me a huge long hug and started tearing up. It was such a lovely moment that I will treasure for a long time!

I used progesterone cream after ovulation to try to extend lp. But to be fair I don't think it helped that much. I did try progesterone cream for three weeks to try to bring on af and that didn't work. But when I got my bfp I went into panic mode wondering whether the progesterone cream was helping and if I stopped whether it would cause me to miscarry. If the progesterone cream worked for you, I say go for it and try again. Nothing to lose either way! Xxx

Happy 11 weeks

 

[Diddums]

Thanks

 

[Diddums]

Off to my first midwife appointment

 

[raventtc]

that was a great story -- thanks for sharing it with us

Haven't heard from Rachel and kinda wondering if she had her little bundle yet?!

bethany- yes I am actually feeling good lately and really not worring or stressing over ttc, i am still temping but other then that i just feel relaxed - i know it kinda sounds strange now but a great feeling any luck on finding a new doctor? sometimes changing doctors can be a great thing since everyone has a different look at things or ways to handle things..at least that is how i felt seeing a new doctor

well its going to be a busy day my hubby's bday is today but really this weekend is when we are doing stuff to really celebrate

 

[bnporter81]

Happy birthday to your hubby, Raven!

I was wondering about Rachel, too. Hopefully we hear some good news soon!

 

[seabean]

Raven, I must say, your chart looks pretty awesome! When are you testing?!

Congrats on creating a little lime Katya! You're basically out of the woods now with the early risk stuff, such a relief to hit that milestone!

Mrsc, how is mommy-duty going so far?!?

Fingers crossed for Rachel!!

 

[Rachel789]

I am still here waiting impatiently! I have been having tons of Braxton hicks, I was timing them last night for awhile and they were coming about every 6 mins but they don't hurt at all just uncomfortable. I would imagine when it's real contractions they will hurt? Not that I want pain but I hope when I am really in early labor they feel different so I know the difference. This morning I am still getting tons of them, about every 6-8 mins. Hopefully it means something will happen soon!

Happy 11 weeks Katya! I love the stories of telling your family tha you are pregnant, sounds like it was an emotional experience for everyone

Raven- your chart looks great! Glad to see things are getting back on track for you. I hope your bfp is coming soon

Dee- how are you feeling?

Nat- how are things with you? Feeling any ms yet?

Caroline- you are right behind me! Anything happening yet?

Bethany- did you give up on charting? Any signs of o?

Bex, Louise, lil- I hope all is well with the new mommies!

Newmrs- we haven't heard from you in awhile. I hope all is well

 

[mrsc81]

Rachel you will definitely know, I was worried I wouldn't, but I knew labour had started before I even got out of bed, a pain woke me up, and I just knew 'this is it'.
It will be painful but not really bad at first, I was on the phone to my mum 3hrs after I got woken up, telling her I was in labour

Everything is going great other than lack of sleep and being very busy

 

[rmsh1]

Rachel when I went into labour I was not convinced it was happening for HOURS I was getting AF cramps for a while before I finally realised it might really be it. I was helping my friend cook dinner, and I ate a full sized dinner. It was not until after dinner that I realised the cramps were kinda regular and it might be real. Silly, but I just kept thinking it was not real

 

[raventtc]

feeling really crappy right now. I woke at 3 with a terrible stomach ache, tossed and turned trying to go back to sleep and not think about it...but finally got up at 4 found brown spotting when i wiped went and made my self a cup of tea and layed on the couch until around 7 when I had to get moving and ready for my work day. But wow I still terrible, still haven't ate anything and not really thinking I will just hot tea with some honey in it....i have found brown spotting for about 3 days now - doesn't happen all day but it has happened -- i feel like if i throw up i would feel sooo much better

 

[Diddums]

Sounds promising raven. Do you usually spot? How long is your lp usually? Xxx

 

[seabean]

Feel better Raven! Hopefully these are BFP symptoms and not AF or a bug!

 

[raventtc]

i do usually spot right before af like the day before and I was having mid cycle spotting do to a poylp i had -- but its been removed and haven't had spotting it really only happens at the most 2x a day when i wipe -- my lp has be 16 days give or take a day FF has af starting on Tuesday for me -- yesterday I felt bad too just kinda crampy and bloated like af was coming or something -- fingers crossed it is something promising!! I kinda am thinking that i am backed up (tmi) since i haven't had a proper bm for a bit either...

 

[mrsc81]

Fingers crossed Raven
