Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[shradha]

Laura - this recipe was the first one which I learnt from my MIL..... I too told her the same......... Our Indian dishes don't use sauces that much....it's all spices and herbs.....

 

[SpudsMama]

Laura/Steph/Coy - do any of you get an achy neck or head? It's all around the back of my neck and skull, an uncomfortable pulling feeling. Every morning without fail, starting from about 10am and lasts for two hours maximum before going away again? xx

 

[lauraemily17]

Can't say I've had that Emma. I do get generally very achy especially after being sat or lying in 1 place for too long. Does it feel muscular or like it's in your head like a headache? Anything headachy can point to high blood pressure but they're usually frontal headaches feeling similar to migrane/tension headaches. Perhaps yours is something to do with low blood pressure. When's your next midwife appointment?

 

[SpudsMama]

I've got my 28 week appt with the midwife on Friday so I'll ask her then. I had assumed at first that it was down to lying funny overnight in bed, but if that were the case surely I'd wake up with it? It's fine when I get up, it's a couple of hours later it starts. I would say it feels more muscular than headachy... xx

 

[lauraemily17]

Really not sure Emma, hopefully your midwife will be able to shed some light on it. Is the pain really bad?

Steph - forgot to say happy 37 weeks & full term!!! Looking back it now feels like our pregnancies have flown by!! I still think we're going to give birth quite close so I recon it'll be 39 weeks for you & 37 + a few days for me!!

 

[shradha]

Finally all the suspense is over.........I feel relieved...... AF has paid me a visit..... So now I know what to expect nex time........ You all were right......I missed O..... My cycles have become crazy....27 broken all records.... Never has so early....so counting yesterday....today cd2..... As I have already started temp... I guess it will be easier to understand...... Ladies I need your help in charting.....still hav'nt figured out about the graph..........

I am going to celebrate the day..... Goodbye to 2 days of frustration and stress....... Going to have some wine........homemade wine for me and red wine for dh....... Ordering some food from the restaurant.......
Just called the clear blue supplier regarding the strips...... This time I will make sure I am going to catch the eggy....hope my cycles stay at 27 days.....

 

[shradha]

Emma- hope you get some relief soon..... I guess during pregnancy ...some have headaches...... It can be due to many reasons like Laura said........ Try to get some help......

 

[shradha]

Laura- how are you feeling today??

 

[SpudsMama]

No, the pain isn't really bad. It's just uncomfortable, it feels like my head is too heavy and I only get relief if I lie back and rest it. I wonder if it's down to the extra weight I'm carrying now

OMG Steph, you're 37 weeks already?! How did I miss that? Congrats, it won't be long now! Have you both settled on a name yet?

Shradha, boo for AF! But at least you can relax knowing you're not in suspense anymore. Good luck for this cycle!

 

[shradha]

Steph and Laura- you two are so close....... happy 37 and 35 weeks.......

 

[mzswizz]

Shradha-Boo to AF. But atleast you have a plan

Steph-Happy 37 weeks!!

Laura-Happy 35 weeks!!!

AFM, im cd21 today and my temp only dropped by .02 with a negative opk this morning. From looking at my chart, I think I o'd on cd19 which would put me at 2dpo today compared to o'ing today which would have me as o day today. From looking at the lines from yesterday's pos opk and today's lines on the neg opk, they were VERY similar, almost the same actually but the positive was a little bit more defined and darker so im assuming that I was actually catching the surge on its way out and not the beginning. Will post pics at the bottom. To me it would make the most since to had o'd on cd19 because my temp dropped significantly and since cd20, my temp has been up higher and hasnt dropped massively. Plus, i was experiencing the sharp shooting pains through my back etc which could probably be the after effects of ov on cd19 yesterday. Not to mention, I had ewcm on cd20 and now i only have a slim amount of it now so i dont think today is ov day. Yesterday, had a great Memorial Day. DH and I spent time with the family and then we helped our nephew study for the ASVAB which he is taking tomorrow so wishing him luck on that. Well today, I got to bathe the dogs and cook dinner and relax before work tomorrow. What do you ladies think about my chart and opks? Do you think its possible that i am right and I o'd on cd19 instead?

 

[lauraemily17]

Patrice - I agree, looks like you I'd on cd19.

Shradha - boo for AF. My cycles actually guy shorter when I started TTC, went from 29 days to 25 days. I can't help but wonder if I was fertilizing an eggy if just wasnt sticking or wasn't a good eggy. Hopefully this month will be it for you & in sure if you carry on charting & temping, I would do it during AF as well, you'll understand your body more.

I was looking forward to my scan tomorrow as I was hoping it would show everything was fine & as I was feeling better my pre-e wouldn't have progressed but now I have a horrible headache, exactly like the 1 I had last week, taken parcetamol and it's not helped so far. Blood pressure has also shot up from 72 to 85 in an hour. Got a bad feeling now

 

[SpudsMama]

Patrice, yep, looks like it was probably CD19. Hopefully you'll get your crosshairs tomorrow

Laura, do you have to call when your BP shoots up again? If it doesn't calm down soon I'd want to get checked out xx

 

[mzswizz]

Oh no Laura. Hopefully you get better quickly. We dont need you taking another trip to the hospital unless its to give birth And yes im thinking cd19 was my o day and yesterday's positive was just the last of the surge which would put me as 2dpo today. Well let's see what tomorrow says on my ff chart.

Emma-Hoping to get my crosshairs. And dh and i dtd on cd18 and cd19 so that really increases our chances and i didnt even take any opks that time around. So im hoping this is it.

 

[lauraemily17]

Only if it goes over 90 which I'm really hoping it doesn't!! Keeping everything crossed it's just a random spike, I had 1 on Sunday as well then it went back down an hour later but I didn't have the headache then, that's what worries me the most.

 

[mzswizz]

Laura-I think since you took the medicine, you should rest like take a nap and then when you wake up, if the headache is still there or is worse then contact your doc. Sometimes, when you rest, the medicine tends to take effect faster. Well thats what happens to me and dh when we take tylenol.

AFM, well i played with ff for tomorrow's temp to see what i have to get in order to get crosshairs. And if i have a temp of 97.75 or higher then i will get the dashed crosshairs for cd19 with a CL of 97.59 and also at 3dpo which i thought would happen. And also my new edd would be feb. 17th if i conceive this time which is weird because no matter what..it seems that the edd is falling around our anniversary. hmm a sign maybe.

 

[lauraemily17]

Hoping to see your temp go up even further tomorrow Patrice.

Blood pressures not looking good last couple have been 86, 91, 86, 91. The last 91 was after an hours nap & still got the headache. At least they're not as high as they were last week!!

 

[SpudsMama]

I'm glad it's not as high as it was last time, but with that headache still lingering after taking painkillers I'd think about calling the hospital, just to see what they say. Hopefully it's just a fluke today! xx

 

[mzswizz]

Laura-Im with Emma. i think you should call and see what they say since the medication didnt do its job. And im hoping my temp goes up too. Im not ready to go through another limbo this cycle.

 

[lauraemily17]

I know I should be I'm really reluctant as they'll likely just keep me in without changing my dose until I've had all the tests I'm scheduled to have tomorrow morning when my consultant is also in clinic so can be referred to. Without my appointment tomorrow I definately would call but ad I've got that I'm going to wait it out & keep taking it every hour. As long as it's in the early 90's I'll wait, if it gets towards 100 I'll make the call.
