Lookin for NTNP buddy. Just need to CHAT!

[fairyy]

hahah jeeeesus that's big lil chubber lol

I think I may get some ovulation testing stuff..... just so I can see if I am even ovulating then I will know if I will get AF etc...... how awful not knowing what my body is doing coz of stupid depo

Ya just try those opk. U might get an idea what's going on with u

 

[RedButterfly]

I just came right out with it. I'm not one for beating around the bush. I want something, I'm going for it!

 

[Laura2806]

lol Noodles, he was a big boy! and no stitches!!!!!

fairyy OPK's are funny things, they either work for you and tell you when you're surge is or they don't work for you. Like anything we all give out different amounts of hormones within 'normal' ranges. You might be one of the lucky ones who gets a fab surge, or you might just get enough to give a second line. they're pretty tricky to interpret too, unless you go with clear blue ones which give you a smily face or sad face.

They also only pick up a surge in LH and not the egg being released. The best way to find that out is by BBT, your basal body temp rises after you have ovulated, by taking it at a set time every morning, before moving, drinking, eating etc and charting it you will find out the exact day you ovulated. It's also a good indicator or pregnancy as it can rise again on implantation or at least stay high. a drop to pre-ov temp is indicative of AF being imminent.

I hope I'm not coming across as obnoxious (if thats the right word) just want to give you guys the best chances of conceiving and tracking your cycles. I don't know how much you ladies know about TTC, when i started out i knew nothing! I've learnt it all from my friends on here xxx

 

[noodles13]

yeah ive picked up on leads since reading stuff on here and googling loads

ive still got this pinkish really light bleeding only when I wipe tho no idea what it is x

 

[MrsCorny]

Mrs corny it was Maria (redbutterfly) who proposed, my Oh did it on our 1yr anniversary sat on the sofa in my Ann's static caravan! Lol

As for labour, I swore a lot too! Oscar got stuck, shoulder dystocia so I've been told my next pregnancy will be consultant care led, he was 9lb 12oz 8days early!

Xxx

Oh! Well I feel like an idiot! So sorry, Laura! Well, redbutterfly, one of my posts somewhere was saying how sweet it is that u proposed!!! Lol and Laura, that's so cool he proposed on an anniversary! Were you totally surprised?! One year isn't that long to be dating before a proposal, so many people wait yeeeears! Lucky u!

And noodles13: how many dpo are u? It takes up to 12 days after conception for implantation to occur, and then 2-3 days after for the HPT to even detect the pregnancy hormone. And considering the obvious un-reliability of the HPTs. Maybe you could wait and test in a few more days?? If not then waiting until u miss ur next period would be the only way to know for sure! How frustrating tho!! best to you!

Afm: I know I prob should not even come close to getting excited/nervous yet. But I mentioned we DTD yesterday and a few short hours later, I got a few sharp stabbing pains in my lower right pelvic area... And I wonder if that was me ovulating... Which means we could've caught an egg... Idk... Who wants to bring me back to reality? Lol I've never noticed any ovulation symptoms before (maybe cuz i was on the pill) but heard that could be one of them. And I KNOW I didn't imagine it. I guess we will find out in 2 weeks!!

And u ladies talking about labour makes me nervous, but I prb need to hear it!! Eek! Lol all the babies in my family were big ones. I was 9lb8oz, and my 2 younger siblings were bigger than me... but I def have the baby bearing hips.... Been told that since I was age 15!!!! Haha

 

[noodles13]

i cant go on AF..... because ive just come off depo so the last time I even bled was end of march

so I am just going to have to wait and see what this is........ it could just be my body adjusting to the lack of the progesterone in my body?
its not irritating me as much as it was a week ago im just letting it happen and thinking to myself im obv not pregnant.........

it will prob take ages to get my bfp but its fun speaking about it to others anyway

 

[MrsCorny]

Aww noodles13!! x10000!! My biggest "pet peeve" is not knowing something... Like fear of the unknown, except its not fear, just frustration. I just keep leaning on God and knowing that His timing is perfect and that He knows and has GOOD plans for me, even if they are not my timing. I'm glad it helps for you to chat it up with us! It helps me too... Even tho I wasn't sure i should even be on this forum cuz we were still *kinda* preventing up until last night. But I'm glad I am, too, cuz it helps. I just need someone to talk details with, to keep me sane, and with my hubby being in the situation, it's hard to have a clear head about it when I talk with him! Nothin better than a little girl talk, right!

 

[noodles13]

yeah well I suffer from anxiety so when there is something I don't know and have no way of knowing it sends me crazy and its all I think about lol

I don't understand this really light spotting thing either coz TMI but last night it was like a glob of ewcm with the blood too? surely the depo doesn't cause ewcm because it stops ovulation? im so glad the 12 weeks is up and now im just waiting for my body to regulate again

I found out my cousin and his wife are having twins too.... call me sour but I thought ohhhhh I wish that was me hahahah I want twins..... or one.... I would love a little boy next time not that im overly fussed at all would just be nice ive got 2 princesses or drama queens as I like to call them lol I always wonder what it would be like having a son........

I also don't mean to pee anyone off when I speak about my daughters sorry if it annoys anyone btw

 

[MrsCorny]

I LOVE hearing about others' children!!! Makes me all excited about what I will have one day!
I have several friends that suffer from anxiety issues. It's tough stuff.
Just because depo stops ovulation may not mean it stops the processes that go on down there. Who knows? Maybe research it?? I've not done any of that before so idk. Wish I could be more help.
And I don't think wishing that could be you having twins, or one, is being sour. You're not being like, ugh she shouldn't be pregnant!! Lol every time I see my friend who is 6 months pg right now and I always wish I could have that too. Plus she is super cute pg and her daughter is beyond precious!!

 

[noodles13]

I have had a googling session to see what it says about depo it mostly says once AF returns the body is ovulating again..... can take up to 2 years

I think I will be so frustrated if this BFP never comes because ive always been so fertile even my friends take the piss out of me, they recon I have to look at a pic of a penis and im pregnant hahahha cheeky moos

I hope to god that one jab of depo has ruined it all for me for no3.......... oooo scary when I say no3 I cant imagine having 3 kids like I could never imagine having 2...... can u imagine having octuplets or something!!! I watched a prog the other day these women had triplet boys then twin boys within 2 years!!!!!!!! thru IVF they were a gay couple how stressful 5 boys under 2 hahahah

 

[MrsCorny]

Oh my... Hubby and I weren't sure we even wanted kids when we got married!!! Lol but things changed. Had a pregnancy "scare" in February and made us really think about it and now we want kids, whenever it happens. No rush, but I'm ready lol.
My friend has triplets and they are amazing, just babysat them last week, so fun!! little loves.
But hubby and I say we only want 2 at the most. But that could all change, too. Right now, I'm just waiting for AF to arrive on June 30, if not... I test. The earliest I could have possibly conceived is last night, so no point in stressing about it lol if it happens, it happens. I will say I am so glad, the only birth control I ever used was the pill, but it was for 5 years so who knows what my fertility is like, I only went off of it in February!!
Knowing u were on depo makes me wonder why the docs didn't even check ya out the other day if u were having concerns.

 

[fairyy]

MrsCorny: Good luck to you. I will test if AF doesn't arrive by 23rd.
Noodles13: It will surely happen to you and you will get your BFP. Cheer up. Have faith in yourself and in God. I am praying praying and praying for this BFP. This is my 6th month of NTNP.

 

[MrsCorny]

Love ur signature fairyy!!! That's great. best to u, too. Let get a BFP on this thread! Who is testing when?

 

[fairyy]

MrsCorny: Thanks a ton. Because of your thread I found so many lovely and supportive ladies here. Its been a great source of relief discussing my heart-out here. Having ladies who are in similar situation and who understands your feelings and thoughts is a pure joy.

 

[fairyy]

Aww ur welcome! So glad I made this thread. I am enjoying all the "company" of these ladies as well! God is so good. How He can use simple things like a forum to give us comfort or a friend to remind us of His sovereignty! I just love it!

I feel like a crazy person right now since I actually have a shot at becoming pregnant this month and really need some women to help keep me sane!! Lol
I'm like oh my goodness, yay! I could be pg this month! And then the next minute I'm like oh crap... I could be pregnant!! What are we gonna do?! Then back to being excited about the possibility.
Either way-- I will be disappointed with a BFN but get over it or excited and scared with a BFP! I'm barely a day into the 2ww and my mind is spinning... At least I'm not symptom spotting yet... Just trying it figure out if those pains yesterday were due to ovulation... Cuz if so we def BD at the right time! Eek!

 

[fairyy]

Hey. So I'm looking for someone in a similar situation, or someone who has been thru it and wants to chat with me.
So here is my story. Some of it might be TMI but i just wanna vent and talk it out, be reassured im not crazy, or find out if anyone else is just as crazy as i am! Was on BCP for about 5 years. this past February I thought I could be pregnant and stopped taking it. After doing some research on why it could harm the baby if pregnancy occured while on the pill and decided I didn't like what it does to my body and what I'm putting into my system, blah blah blah. So hubby and I agreed I shouldn't take it anymore at all.
Well he doesn't wanna use anything else as a contraceptive, so we were doing pull out, but goodness, that's no fun. So I looked into "natural family planning" aka only withdrawal during "fertile times" which we just started this month. So we both get what we want, he gets to try to prevent pregnancy and I get a small chance of pregnancy and him not pulling out all the time. Lol
So clearly, I am hoping I will get pregnant sooner than later. So I used some "Mobile Mom Ovulation App" to get an idea when I might ovulate, cuz I really don't wanna POAS or temp every morning. So it's all guesswork here as to when I actually ovulate.
Hubby is fine with it if I do become pregnant, but he would like to wait a little longer. He can't give me a valid reason why, except that he is happy with our life right now, and finances could be a *little* better, but I have other jobs lined up if I need more money when the baby comes anyway. So I'm not worried. God always provides. That much has been proved to me numerous times.
So anyone else wanna wait and chat and vent with me? Hoping for a BFP while "NTNP" cuz I really don't wanna have to stress over it and plan plan plan. Which is totally out of the ordinary for me. I like to plan. Haha.
Blessings and baby dust!!

I did this opk thing once in February. Charted for three months Feb, March, April...now I have an idea when I roughly ovulate. Not doing this opk or charting anymore. But my ovulation day varies from day13 to 15 or 16. But mostly it is day 15. At least this charting and opk-ing gave me an idea when I ovulate.

So this will be your first baby right ? Must be very excited. I am in almost similar situation like you. My hubby is very casual about this baby thing. If it is in my hand solely I would have gone for BDing entire 5 fertile days.

 

[MrsCorny]

Yeah this would be our first! It's all very exciting and nerve-racking!
And yes, in the same boat. If it was solely my choice, BD every fertile day... I think. Lol
When he didn't pull out last night I was literally in shock. I couldn't even speak after... We just laid there silent... Then I was like uhhh... U do know this is my fertile time right? And he did know. Idk if he is hoping ill get pregnant this time or if he just doesn't care either way. I figured I wouldn't ruin it and just let it go! Haha. Too many details or questions overwhelm him. So I kept quiet. Lol
but then I got all nervous... And when I felt those sharp pains a few hours later when i wasnt even thinking about it... I was like oh crap... What does THAT mean?? Was that ovulation? Am I gonna get pregnant this month...?! ?!?!?!?!? Haha!
If I'm not pregnant this month, I think I'll start charting with OPKs maybe... Or BBT. I saw a BBT thermometer for like $8... That's cheaper than the OPKs I think. Idk.

That's a good news. You have a good shot at it i think.
I told DH to be serious and try it every other day from July. But I think now I will try seriously from September. Will start doing opk thing and if possible and DH accommodates then will go for SMEP. I did that temping thing and got an idea. But it stressed me. Waking up every morning and taking temperature and making a note of it..

 

[MrsCorny]

Yah that's true, I get up at like 6am anyway every morning. So temping may not be that bad for me. How does the OPK thing work! Is that a POAS thing... Gotta use FMU???
What is SMEP?? And why form September? Just trying to figure out ur body still??
