Hi ladies. Well not much going on in the baby making ways, Lol. 5DPO today but won't test till at least 12dpo.

After alot of burning and soreness this past week in my head I went to the doc and was diagnosed with Shingles. Been given lots of pills but been told it can hang around for a few weeks. I feel so ill.

I hope you other ladies are doing well. xxxx

 

[Renaendel]

Lesh, sorry anout shingles. My brother in law gets it and from what I hear, it is pretty painful. I hope you feel better soon.

Confuzion- dong dong the witch is dead the wicked witch! Thank goodness. I agree with leinz. I don't want to see you with her for the rest of the year.

Persephone- how are you hanging in there. How are you feeling physically and emotionally?

Afm-10 dpo, negatives and the most nausea I have ever had. I think my progesterone is probably good this month.

 

[krulci]

IvynJosiesMom - I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine. Josephine is such a beautiful name. It was my grandmother's middle name, so I have an especially soft spot for it. How are you doing? Do you have a lot of support in the way of family?

CD 8 and I've FINALLY stopped bleeding

Trying to find happiness in the small things

Trying to do the same!! I'm on a total because I just got my very first positive OPK! Literally teared up when I saw it, lol. Can't help myself, won't help myself.

Persephone - welcome! These are the best ladies! Be sure to post often and get all the help and answers you need. xx

 

[confuzion]

Yay krulci for a positive OPK!

I start OPKing tomorrow (or later today since it's 1 am here)!

I am sorry about this shingles hun and hope you will get better soon.

Afm-10 dpo, negatives and the most nausea I have ever had. I think my progesterone is probably good this month.

Could this be the reason for nausea? I always get nauseous just before af is about to arrive, could this be the reason?

I do hope you still get a SHBFP though

woohoo for that positive OPK

Just like confuzion said - I am also trying to find happiness in the small thing. I am cd12 with NO SPOTTING and got my FIRST sticky cm this morning since TTC. I am entering a normal healthy fertile window and next month when hubby is home it can just get better It's the first time since TTC that I have this and wonder how I got pregnant last year because I was dry and cp was low moslty.

I really think the B-complex is helping. I have more energy, my body seems healthier and I have more energy!

What B-complex are you taking? I was thinking of adding that to my prenatals but wasn't sure what was best for pregnancy... Whatever you're taking sounds amazing! I could always use more energy! (Though my cm is alllllways going... it's a wonder I'm not pregnant yet, if that really is a sign of fertility!)

I'm feeling really good about these December babies! Have any of you figured out your potential due date for this cycle? I am obsessed with what mine would be... December 16th, based on my O date...

 

[Leinzlove]

Renae: I feel good about you... seeing 2 lines at any moment here!!! Let it be those hormones kicking in.

Angel: Glad to hear B complex working. I like it a lot! It does wonders for a cycle. Can't wait for hubby to get home and knock you up...

Krulci: Happy BD! Bring on the 2ww. This month is the one! A beautiful bundle in time for Christmas!

IvynJosiesMom: I'm so sorry for your loss.

C: Won't be long until O. Be good to yourself... THIS MONTH IS STICKY!!! x

 

[persephone13]

Thank you all for your kind words. Physically I'm healing, but emotionally I still feel like I am a mess. Even though it hadn't been long, there are so many things I did that I am having to unlearn, the hardest being the unconscious act of rubbing my hand over my belly. Even though it was flat, it was just something I had started doing, and every time I do it now, my heart clenches. I know that with time it will not hurt less, only differently, more manageable.

 

[confuzion]

, I'm sorry persephone. With time, it will get better emotionally too. Hang in there.

 

[persephone13]

Thanks confuzion, how are you doing?

Can I ask you ladies your opinion on waiting to try again? I've been told 2 cycles, but that seems so far away...

 

[confuzion]

I'm doing ok I guess. Feeling just kind of ambivalent about everything.

And that depends. How far along were you, and did you miscarry naturally or with a D&C?

 

[persephone13]

Gah, yes ambivalent is such a good word.

I was seven weeks, but the baby had stopped growing at 4w6d, and yes it was natural and complete.

 

[confuzion]

In that circumstance, I honestly don't see a need to wait. I think you're good to go if you feel ready to try again. You can wait for 1 period and start trying. Or you can even start trying now counting Your first day of MC bleeding as CD1.

 

[Leinzlove]

I never waited when I MMC at 9 weeks. I didn't fall prego before AF arrived though. I did the very next cycle.

Persephone13: I wish you a sticky the moment you try.

 

[Squig34]

Lesh - sorry to hear about the shingles - get well soon!

Angel - good news that your body seems to be settling itself and giving you good normal fertile signs.

Persephone - I agree with Confuzion. And don't be hard on yourself about still feeling low, you are allowed to grieve. My first MMC hit me the hardest, but I think that was because our hopes were sky high, we've been much more tempered in subsequent pregnancies so there wasn't as far to fall (not that it wasn't disappointing and sad but we just didn't know at the first what we know now )

Thanks ladies, I really appreciate your input!

 

[krulci]

Persephone - I was told that once AF came back, it was my body's signal for go-time. That being said, I've fallen pregnant on the first cycle with my two pregnancies and have yet to fall again after my MC in November. I was 10 weeks and also had a complete, natural MC. Your body will make things happen when it's ready, be it AF or a BFP. I hope for your sake you get your SHBFP in no time at all!

AFM - While I thought my OPK was positive last night, the test line was even darker than the control line today! (I POAS three times... so either I have a terrible batch or I am really ovulating today, lol!) I started noticing tonight that I'm having some cramping on my right side. I've never noticed O pain before, and everyone else describes it as a twinge, but mine is more like full-on, one-sided menstrual cramps. Is this normal?? Anyone else have experience? I also have a milk allergy... so maybe I unknowingly had something with dairy in and the stomach pains are registering really low? I'm lost...

 

[krulci]

Confuzion - I've only read the first post in your TTCAL journal, but it's oddly similar to my own timeline! Natural MC Nov 17, first AF Dec 28, and I just turned 24. If only my cycles were shorter, I might propose we become ttcal sister-wives.

I'm excited to keep reading! Hopefully we both get our December babes.

 

[confuzion]

TTCAL sister-wives. I likey. How long are your cycles?
