[ica235]

No way! Still no AF!! Surely this has to be it for you!! How many dpo do you think you are?
Have you been temping? Any idea whats going on from that?
And nope, its not nice!!! I've got a numbing cream I have to use every time we dtd hopefully it will just get better with time... either that or wait until i give birth next and ask him to leave a stitch out this time! haha!

Hey ladies. Peeked in yesterday and it seems, you are all doing pretty well!
We had a very rough week last week- worst we have had in a long time. mostly financial problems which are pretty much cleared up now. But it got me thinking... And praying... And well, I have decided I'm going back to school to become a gym teacher and/or ASL teacher. I have an associates degree in American Sign Language interpreting and will be getting a teaching degree in Physical Education- looking at my state's requirements, with an extra test or two I will be qualified to teach both! If I can go full time and continue working part time I will, and I will be a teacher in 2 years! I was hoping to be able to run my own business and all that, but I'm just not a business minded person- so being a phys. Ed. Teacher I get the best of both worlds- health/fitness and kids! And I am a certified trainer so I can do boot camps and such in the summer for extra cash and/or train adults on the weekends if I so choose.
But as far TTC or even NTNP- looks like that will wait until I finish school. But I think I am okay with that... I said I felt like something was missing- and maybe it's cuz I've always had the desire to have a college degree- a bachelors in something and I put it on the back burner when I got married cuz I am so in love with my husband. Well we are finally at a place where I can go back. And I'm gonna do it!
And what better job to have than being a teacher when you have kids. If we get extra "lucky" and have a child born in May then mat. leave would cover the rest of the school year and then I'd have the whole summer too, before going back to work! And then I'd be working similar hours to hubby and we can have evenings and weekends together as a family. And I'd be doing a job I love.
I will be checking in on here. I so hope you all get BFPs soon! And Laura, u seem like ur close! Still no AF!! FXed!

 

[Laura2806]

Yep ica no AF! Not been temping and Oscar's had some rough so no point me starting now to try and get some idea I think im 12dpo today so should know in a couple days! Only got 3 tests left so trying to save them lol

[ica235]

Aww mrsc, sounds like you've got it all figured out now! Fabulous plan Good luck with it all and please do keep popping back!! and ditto, thanks for making this thread! Don't know what i'd do without it now!

Laura i'm so excited for you!! lol! you think your spotting could've been ib????
Can't wait for your update tomorrow morning got such a good feeling!!!!
Oh man, whats up with oscar
Douglas went through a phase of crying in his sleep every hour during the night wanting his dummy to be put back in.. it almost killed me!!!! went on for over a month! but the past few weeks have been bliss, hes sleeping through again, hoorah!!! .... oh i hope i havent jinxed it now... lol

 

[fairyy]

ica: OMG that's painful. How long it has been since u given birth to Douglas ??? It should have been ok by now.

Laura: It seems after delivery BD becomes painful. I don't like condoms.

Red: Were you doing opk + temping then or only opk ?

We are doing it 2 to 3 times in a week. Most of the BD sessions are around fertile days. After ovulation my sex drive drops.

 

[RedButterfly]

#1 just OPK. #2 OPK, temping and checking CM.

 

[fairyy]

Corny: Glad to see your post. Seems you are doing the best thing for u. Its always nice to do the job u love. Otherwise mind & heart will be at different places. And as said by ica and laura I really thank u for creating this thread. Have got some good buddies here. Btw I guess your anniversary is fast approaching ! When is it ? What are your plans ?

I'm hoping I'm making the right decision! It sure feels like it, though I wish we could have a little one sooner- I honestly believe it will be best for us and our child if I have a good job first. However, like I always say- God is in control and anything can happen.
We are both working on our anniversary and hubby lost a whole week worth of pay from injuring his hand, they really screwed us over. Ugh.
We will probably go out for dinner at a steakhouse near us. They have amazing shrimp there too so I am looking forward to that. And of course a little lovin' when we get home! Hehe
I've been so tired the last couple days- I think I'm still recovering from all that stress last week. all I wanna do is sleep... It sucks. I feel like the semester can't start soon enough, cuz I know once I get a full time job hubby will be more ready to TTC.

 

[Laura2806]

Ica I hope I don't let you down! would love to post a BFP tomorrow! think it's teething, the weather, bit of a virus, mix of things hoping tonight is better, might get an early one! Lol sooooo bloated it hurts!

Fairy that time certainly hurt! Not been using them pretty much since then lol xx

 

[fairyy]

I hope all these symptoms are attributed to
How wonderful it would be to wake up with a BFP. I think these spottings are IB. Fingers crossed !

Hope everything falls in place and your DH agrees to TTC soon. Hope the same for me too. lol. Btw Happy Anniversary in advance.

BFN

 

[ica235]

Oh Laura you're still not out so don't let it dampen your spirit!!! I still completely believe this is the month for you!! When will you test next?

My boy is just over 7 months old, I was stitched too tight and over healed after my stitches burst so (I can't help but laugh at This..Strangely enough!) my vagina is tiny!!!!! Lol! Sorry about tmi but from clit to the perineum is only an inch big! Doc said it may stretch out on its own which I'm hoping it will, we've only just started having sex again last month so it's still early but it does seem to be getting easier, gonna give it a few months and if I'm not pregnant and things haven't got better I will consider reconstructive surgery which I don't want!!!

 

[MrsCorny]

Laura... as if a two week wait isn't long enough... How long has it been... Since you think you Ov'ed?

Well I heard this song this morning and it really encouraged me... Take a listen or just read the lyrics and remember God is good, and though His plans may be different than ours, they are infinitely better for us... I am re-learning and being reminded of that every day. I so thought what we needed/wanted was a baby as soon as possible, because that is truly my heart's desire and still is... But thru the struggle of the past couple weeks, God has opened a new door for me, or at least showed me thru it this time, and I just KNOW that if I am seeking His will, He won't let me down. I hope u guys can find that same peace if you don't already have it. Enjoy the song! Brandon Heath is a new fave of mine-
Romans 8:28
New King James Version (NKJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Oh laura. It will be a BFP soon. But I am glad that there is no AF still. U have a good shot at it gal.

It will be better eventually I feel. I wish no surgery for u.

 

[fairyy]

Hi all. I have a question for u. Bear with me its personal.

Do u get your natural lubrication every time you BD now matter how frequent the BD sessions are ? Do u get it at every stage of your cycle like before ovulation and after ovulation ? Do u spend much time in foreplay ?

 

[ica235]

Right after my period i'm always pretty dry when bd for about a week, and the same the week before i'm due my period aswell, although after ov my sex drive is pretty low.. its low anyway lol but its even lower then! but the middle 2 weeks not so bad, we dont do loads of foreplay but we dont just hop right into it either lol !

 

[Laura2806]

Thanks ica hunni, if I ov'd the last time I think I did it'll be two was tomorrow! might leave it till sat to test again now, only got two left! Ouchies! No wonder you tear every time you I hope you get that BFP very soon and it gets sorted after labour! Surgery would be very painful, and it could all be undone by baby number 2!

Mrsc you're so lovely, I love how faithful you are too, I'm not overly religious but since the minute I found out I was pregnant I started to believe more and then when he was born I was sure there was no other something so perfect could be made

Thanks fairy, I hope so, we will see, hopefully sooner rather than later!

As for your question, quite simply, yep! Lol it's only if my minds elsewhere completely then I'm dry, this last cycle I always seem to be wet though, foreplay varies, sometimes we just jump straight in, others there's a little bit and others there's lots, it varies xx

 

[Laura2806]

How's everyone doing??

Looks like i didnt bother to ov, CD47 and BFN, think i might sit this one out and wait for AF xx
