Looking for official TTC buddies!!

Nobody has any OPKs left over I can have, do they? lol

I'm all out :dohh: And I have been looking as I clean, lol, because I kept them stashed :haha: I usually would stock up on IC's as the others are so danged exoensive!! :growlmad:
 
Coy- rocky is so cute.... You all have dogs at home.....so lucky....
I don't really know what triggered the cramps....:nope:
Generally my cycles were very regular 34 days cycle..... But from the past 4 months it's been like crazy.....from 34 it became 29, then 40 ,46 last month it was back on 38... Never ever thought that I would have to depend on opk's.... Started testing from yesterday......today cd10......

Baby has started kicking.....so that means now you can talk and baby will respond......you have been busy with the lawn......
 
Patrice- you sound so positive and confident ...... I am so happy for you...... Cycles are becoming regular.... Dh is doing good......I can sense good things coming in your way......:hug:
 
Laura- it's time that you get some rest..... For few days you will miss your work....but this break is necessary...... When is your appointment with the doctor?
 
Today got up early.... Couldn't sleep properly......... Decided to invest some in doing meditation....just to relax........ Then started my daily chore.......

Just wanted to ask you ......... Do we need to take any precautions after ovulation..BD ....I mean take care so that we can get a BFP? I was reading something yesterday stating that a lady should not run or do any heavy lifting during the first 3 months.... Is that so....coz I generally don't take any care....
 
shradha - Hello! I'm Ashley. I was a regular on here before my miscarriage. Now I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Coy- Oh, it's okay! I was just feeling cheap...looking for a hand out! ( LOL!! )

AFM, I'll be gone until Monday! I'm going to Oklahoma ;)
 
Coy-baby brain...now that was a funny situation. But it wasnt funny at the time because of the big mess that had to be clean :haha:

Shadra-Yes positive things are happening. Hopefully it wont be long before a bfp comes. Heavy lifting and strenuous activities are a no no when it comes to pregnancy in the first 3 months. Its because of the fact that the first 3 months are the critical months. Anything can happen so they want women to avoid any damage as much as possible.

AFM, today i am on cd3. My temps are still staying pretty low so thats good :thumbup: And now the bleeding is heavy which normally happens on cd3 so my cycle is right on schedule for now :happydance: Im off work today so I got to go down and visit my Mom but before that, Im going to clean up a bit around here. 4 more days to go before i can go back to dtd and using the opks. Im ready to get this cycle rolling. Also, my dh kept saying that if we dont conceive before going to the doc then its a high possibility we are going to have twins once my ob/gyn starts issuing meds. I've noticed he keeps reminding me about it...he seems more excited than anything hmmm wonder why :shrug:

After ov and BD'ing...if sperm meets the egg and the egg is succesfully fertilized it will begin it's path up the fallopian tube toward the uterus...this can generally take 1-5 days :shrug: As far as percautions during this period I'd say...no caffeine as that impedes the flexing motion of the fallopian tube that encourages the egg to move to uterus. Also avoid heavy lifting during this period as it may impede implantation :shrug: No specifics on the heavy lifting but in general I'd say be careful. I am usually not careful either, I like to do things aggressivley and usually end up pulling a muscle, breaking a bone, or ripping a socket out somewhere :haha: But once I started ttc I slowed down and that was difficult for me!

After you get your bfp doctors and midwives say it is best to avoid any new activities, e.g., don't start running or lifting weights if you had not previously performed that activity. Also, the activities that you do perform pay attention to your body- progesterone and estrogen are released during pregnancy in fairly high amounts and causes muscles to relax...making it easier to cause damage, etc.

Wow, I feel like I have written an entire blog by myself :haha: Hope this helps some...have you been to see a doctor concerning your irregular cycles? Also, have you considered takig medications such as clomid, etc, to try and regulate?
 
AFM-

Did I not have enough stress? :shrug: I don't think so, because it's piling on today! :haha: Seriously- I get this email from my attorney- K, should I stop here?- and it says (in a nutshell)
Ahem. "We need an expert economist to serve as your expert witness. We need this person by tomorrow as that is our legal deadline. I don't think you can afford one so you're screwed. Let me know your thoughts".

As I stated, in a nutshell....so I am scrambling my buns off trying to find an expert economist that will deliver pro bono (my attorney says they are usually thousands).

Should I really let my attorney know my thoughts?...I mean, at this point? lol :haha::dohh: Why does he freaking wait until deadline to let me know?
....and..................:wacko:

Oh, and did I mention...? My attorney just called and reminded me that the deadline is today. I said "Today? Your email sepcified tomorrow"...Attorney"....Nope, it's today."

Aaarghhhhh! :wacko:
 
Coy - that's shocking. I would be furious if I was you. Surely you attorney can't get away with that? Can't you sue him for not doing his properly? I really hope you find someone today.

Shradha - are you using something like fertility friend & taking your temp to monitor your cycles? Might help you to understand why the length is varying?

Patrice - Hope you have a good day with your Mum. Your fitness plan sounds great. I really miss going to the gym, never thought that would happen!! As much as i love the bump I am really starting to miss my waist & legs!!

Ashley - hope you enjoy Oklahoma

Steph - how are you doing?

Afm - braving having my feet up high tonight to try & reduce the swelling. Hoping it doesn't cause agony in my pelvis again but have a quiet weekend planned so won't be too much of an inconvenience if it does.

You've all got to read the thread below. So so so funny. Coy - it'd be good for you in particular, even if you just read a few posts to lighten your mood a little. I was literally crying with uncontrollable laughter. Poor DH thought I'd gone made!! Poor Beanie must of been squished as well!
 
:rofl: classic baby brain, would help if I posted the link!! :dohh:

Laura- did you forget to post the thread? I am loiking for it. You're right- I could use a good laugh! :haha:

BTW- my attorney did email me back as I got very angry witht hem and they decided to start hustling...they contacted the other group and all decided ammicably to do this on the 18th...so I have until the 18th to find an expert economist and get our shi-I mean report together, lol...

Aha! We posted at the same time ! :)

Speaking of baby brain...last night I decided I was starving and heated up some soup and bread...about 45 minutes later I wandered intot he kitchen only to discover I had left the burner on the stove on ...:dohh: Glad I caught it before dh did and never let me live it down! :rofl:
 
:haha: snap, did the sane thing with the burner yesterday!! Also left the iron on in the morning then went to work! It's a good job the iron automatically turns itself off!!

That's great news about your report. Knowing you I'm sure you'll have something excellent by then.

Lol...I looked this thread up some of these stories are hilarious! The lady that thought her boob was her bump :dohh: and the lady who kept going into alternative bathrooms to pee lol--I am just about that bad. I have these burner covers on my stove...the other day I even concentrated really hard to make sure I turned on the correct burner. As I waited I noted that the kettle wasn't getting even warm yet- then my eyes flashed over to the other burner :dohh: the burner cover was turning a circular black and smoking like crazy! Even when I concentrate...:nope:

Yeah, I am hoping my report will be good...it's required to be extensive and lengthy so I am really hoping to find someone before the 18th and get this done. I have since gotten hold of the letter fromt he judge highlighting all of our deadlines and requirements...that way I can badger the attorney before hand and get stuff done right! :dohh: And funny thing is I looked back at me email history and I sent 2-3 diff emails to the paralegal demanding our next steps...to which she informed me I needed to provide a list of discovery questions for the plaintiff :saywhat: (um, that's her job) to which I responded I already provided the attorney with that two motnths ago. God, I swear she's stuffed with fluff ... :wacko: lol
 
Coy-thankfully they gave you time to get the expert economist now.

Laura-the baby brain thread is hilarious.

AFM, im back home with a painful toothache. Hopefully it goes away soon because im not liking it one bit.

Patrice- you'll probably need to go to the dentist :( I did this a couple years back..and ended up with a partial root canal, then extraction. Awwweeesome pain meds though :haha: Actually nothing helped until the extraction :shrug: Hope your's is simpler than all that!
 
Another baby brain moment...I was making dinner and sat there staring at a can of vegetables trying to figure out how to open them with the scissors. :dohh:

Barbeque pork ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans btw...I'm hungry, lol :haha:
 
Coy- thanks a lot for the info.........I have to start taking care....I have a bad habit of suddenly getting up with a jerk from bed in the morning........have to stop running down the stairs.....:dohh: hubby likes his breakfast and dinner in his room which is in the first floor.....lots of stairs to climb.....and also reduce bending..........

Its just these 3 months....when I started taking folic acid tablet which the doctor prescribed me( it was the latest one in the market...had to really hunt for it)......I thought it had something to do with it......so when I stopped it last month ..my cycle came back from 46 to 38..... Now I have started a new brand of folic acid ... I feel my cycles are coming back to normal......if things don't turn up.....will have to consult a doctor....

Really feel like blasting your attorney :growlmad:........
 
Hello Ashley ..... Welcome back :flower:..... I am new here....
So sorry to know about you.....don't worry....this time everything will turn up good...... This is my 1st.....TTC for the past 4 months...
Have a lovely holiday..... See you soon....
