Seabean, sure looks like you are about to o. I do hope this is your cycle - good Luck

Thankfully AF is MUCH lighter now, still quite crampy - particularly when I eat for some reason - but nowhere near as bad as it was. I'm just praying it stops in a few days time!

Rachel good luck for Thursday, hope everything goes ok for you

 

[rmsh1]

Good luck Dee, glad to hear you have been getting lots of BDing in!

And good luck to you too Rachel

 

[seabean]

Good luck rachel! They already ruled out twins, right?

 

[Rachel789]

Yes! There is only one in there

Hello ladies,

Sorry its been a while.

Caroline, I'm so sorry to hear, i have everything crossed for you! Like the other ladies have already said i'm shocked by your news

Weight loss is still going, losing a steady 2lb a week, im happy and right on target for four months time Not sign of AF, wasnt particularly hopeful but still bummed. Guess i just have to wait until Feb when i see Dr.

Hope all the pregnant ladies are well.

Hope you ovulate sea bean xxxx

 

[seabean]

Pretty sure I ovulated, like 90% sure! I was insanely bloated all night and tatas are a bit sore already this AM. Temp didn't spike yet, so I think we will keep bding, just in case. My temp usually takes a few days to creep up there. But you never know.

Katya, glad your weight loss is steadily going! If you hit your weight loss plateau, don't give up! Your Dr is going to be so proud when you show up for that next appt! hopefully AF comes before then though.

How are the pregnant ladies doing these days?

Hey ladies :wave: just stopping by..af is still here and this weekend i had the strangest thing happen, i woke up and was just laying in bed and then all of a sudden i felt like i was peeing but not peeing just a huge gush of blood came out...i ran to the bathroom and was shocked to see all of the blood and clots too..that was the first time i have ever felt something like that. I didn't have any cramps or anything and still don't. This month (oct) marks the 1year mark of us trying and i am not too sure how much longer we are planning on going for..but i feel like the end is coming and its not going to end with a bfp...i feel like we need to live life and enjoy it instead of worrying about ttc.

 

[mrsc81]

Katya - That weight loss is awesome

Dee - Glad you think you ovaluted, hope you get your bfp this cycle

Raven - Dont give up, you will get there I know its hard to believe that, and at the time it feels like an eternity, i started trying august 2011 and got bfp july 2012 so it was almost a year for me, but i only had 7 cycles before my bfp cycle and im not sure how many of those i really did ovulate.

Im good, just counting down the days until my gender scan on 9th, im excited but nervous that baby wont cooperate and i wont get to find out!

Ive now gained 7.5lbs, i gained 2lbs last week, think it was the domino's pizza, doughnuts, chocolate and goodness knows what else i ate
Oh well, i am eating a mixture of healthy and unhealthy and have been strict with my diet and exercise for so long, so im enjoying myself a bit

 

[seabean]

Raven sorry that you hit that 1 year mark. We are approaching the 1 year of when we decided to start trying - although I've only even been ovulating for 4 months now! I think it's totally possible to enjoy life and TTC at the same time, but of course that's easier said that done. The past 2 cycles has been so much more laid back for us, and I am not sure exactly what made me chill out, but I think just knowing that eventually it WILL happen, and to enjoy our time without kids in the meantime has really helped.

I don't think I have had an AF start like that, so random! I forget, have you had any fertility tests ever done? Or your husband's sperm analyzed?

 

[Rachel789]

Wow it's so quiet in here

Dee-It looks like you o'ed yay! Did you get a lot of BD'ing in?

I have my scan tomorrow morning...nervous and excited. Hoping everything is looking good in there!

 

[seabean]

suuuuuuuper quiet

I don't think we got a lot of BDing in, like I was hoping I tested out some future temps and it looks like FF will say that I ovulated yesterday. I am pretty sure that I O'd monday though, going off of bloated and throbbing on the right side...plus boobs were already sore Tuesday AM/afternoon. We BD'd Sunday and Monday. But haven't since. Last night we were both exhausted and in kinda cranky and just couldn't force it. Hopefully I really O'd at some point Monday when we had a lot of fresh swimmers in there!

Our timing was pretty great the past few cycles with BFNs, so I am not sure what we could be doing better.

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck with your scan Rachel

 

[Rachel789]

Dee you know your body better than FF does so you probably did O on Monday. Your BD timing is great still even if you did O on Tuesday. My BFP cycle we only BD'ed the night before O and the morning after.

 

[rmsh1]

You O'd at such a lovely "normal" cycle day Dee, I hope you caught the eggie this time.

 

[seabean]

thanks ladies! you are making me feel better

rachel - report back after your ultrasound pics please!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Seabean, great news that you have ovulated! It must be great to have a really regular cycle now and I wih you lots of luck in getting your BFP this month. I'm guessing, and I may be completely wrong, that your cycles havent always been so short so if you dont mind me asking, how did you manage to shorten them?

Hope all you pregnant ladies are keeping well and Rachel, good luck tomorrow!

I am still bleeding, but it's only a light flow. I'm CD7 today and thought I had stopped at lunchtime, but it came back a couple of hours later. This used to happen to me in the past, although it tended to happen around CD4, so I'm praying I stop in the next couple of days. I'm 100% convinced I'm not going to ovulate though. I very much doubt that will happen until I manage to lose some weight.

 

[seabean]

newmrs - here's the long story, sorry!

I honestly have no idea what put my body back on track. It's been 4 "normal" cycles now. I was a super late bloomer b/c i was so skinny in high school, and went on the pill once i got my first AF b/c I was so irregular. I didn't go off for any extended amount of time until last summer. Then last october the first month we started trying, I had a super early MC at like 5/6 weeks, or even a chemical, I'm not sure b/c I was having irregular cycles (30-45 days) and not charting, so I don't know when I really ovulated. I did have positive HCG bloods, but the values were super low and stayed low, then bam, terrible AF. The Dr said I could ovulate again right away or it could even take up to 6 months, which seemed silly to me since it was such an early MC. It took me 7 months to ovulate again! i had a few progesterone/provera cycles. on the last one, back in May, i SWEAR i ovulated while taking the progesterone, and this was confirmed in my mind when i got AF from the progesterone, and then another AF 2 weeks later. no way to know for sure though. since then i have been ovulating! in general i think i'm pretty healthy, thin, we work out 3/week, but i've been like that for years, so it wasn't like a sudden change triggered anything. i am not into supplements or herbal/natural aids, except a prenatal vit. i haven't stopped drinking coffee or alcohol yet (except nearing the end of the TWW i start feeling guilty), but don't really drink too much of either. might curb down on both if this cycle doesn't end in a bfp. phew, other than that i can't really think of anything that would contribute to my regular cycles. i wish i knew so i could share it with you gals!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Aww thanks for sharing your story! I guess it doesn't really matter 'why'. The fact it has happened is the main thing so it's really just a matter of time until you get your BFP now which I'm sure will be very soon

 

[Rachel789]

My appt went great today! The baby is doing well and we got to see he or she kicking and moving it's arms and legs, it was amazing We also got to hear the heartbeat.

Here is a pic of the scan. The dr said the baby kept curling up so we didn't get the best picture but you get the idea

ADORABLE little munchkin Rachel!!!! Thanks so much for posting! I'm so glad that everything went well, and it blows my mind that babies get arms and legs and heartbeats so quickly! Amazing lil bean!
