March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[nevergivingup]

Sorry Kat S: I would wait for FMU bc your urine is probably a bit diluted from all you drink and remind u it's still early 10 dpi, I didn't get mine until 12 days but some people like you get lucky. Don't worry to much rest up and pee away in the am.

Eswemba: I'm never throwing that pee box away

Pink: never feel bad we're hear to listen and give any advice we can. And I myself love that question bc it takes me bk and prepare me for next time. Bc this was my first time I was all over the place, I didn't get my maternity bra until 1 wk after DS was born. And no ma'am the boppy pillow isn't a Dior need just a want really bc you can use the hospital pillows.

We might be buying a house soon! That would be crazy!

Also, I think I'm like 3 DPO but my EWCM came back today.......I might be out this cycle.

Hahaha hmm, well if you want a baby sooner, I hope you get it sooner. But if it doesn't happen...maybe the house thing will work! Are you already looking at houses or just thinking about it? (I don't know what to wish for you with the back stuff...but if you wish for a baby now, then I will wish one for you now too!)

I had some EWCM after I ovulated too, and I KNOW I had already ovulated because I'd already had my thermal shift. So I think sometimes it can happen, though it could go either way. Hope you got your timing just right.

Pink, they say no food here but I smuggled in granola bars, gatorade and vitamin water. I had my husband stash the bag of that in the bathroom since the nurses were all over me. And I took bathroom breaks a lot to go have snacks. haha. Otherwise they wouldn't have let me eat forever!

 

[nevergivingup]

Kat S: O and to not go bk on my word but I also have to agree with Garfie I tested in the afternoon too and got a bfp but I was like 12dpo so HOLD TIGHT AND FX for fmu!

 

[Kat S]

I tested again this morning and another BFN (11 dpiui). Oh, I'm so mad and embarrassed that I got tricked into thinking maybe this IUI worked! I knew from Day 1 that it was a wash with my husband's poor sample, nearly missing ovulation, and me grieving over my beloved cat. I'm still not convinced we didn't miss ovulation despite what they said.

I looked back and I realized that this "stomach virus-like" situation happened back in May and I'd totally forgotten. I started burping and feeling a little nauseous on Day 8 and on Day 11 I woke up VERY nauseous and had a massive headache...just like yesterday. I started spotting the following day. I can't believe I didn't remember that. Thank god I write these things down. I wonder why my body does that every once in a while?? It's certainly not a symptom I experienced before my TTC journey began. I would have thought I was pregnant a million times! So I blame my reaction to the Femara and trigger shot leaving the system causing me occasional stomach disorder. Kinda mean that the symptoms mimic early pregnancy!

So now this has happened twice, and I won't forget again. If it happens again I won't come on here all excited thinking it means anything. *hangs head*

 

[Pinkcasi]

Arr sorry Kat, but as they say your not out till you're out tho we know our bodies don't we, don't worry about getting excited either sometimes it's all we have.

I've booked to go for a tour of the maternity hospital but I have to reschedule as my oh can't get this say off work but hopefully next sat, nightmare that they only do yours on a weekend and he's a chef so you guessed it works every weekend, I'd like him to be there though so that he knows where he's going on the day lol
I've been looking at maternity pillows online and am thinking I might get not a boppy but similar, tho I am wondering if I can wait till she's here then decide if I need one, hopefully the furniture will be going up today then I can start getting organised! Thanks for all the help and advice, isn't it weird that when people in real life give me advice I'm like 'yeah whatever' (mil lol) but I gladly take it from people online lol

 

[eyemom]

Awww, Kat I'm so sorry. You had to try, and as far as I'm concerned, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyone would hope! I think you only reacted like any woman who wants a baby would. No shame in that. Hope is a painful thing sometimes when something doesn't work out, but I still think it's an important thing we need.

Sitting here thinking about it, I think I've heard those FRERs can be tricky. I'm not sure, I've never used one. But it's ringing a bell somehow. Maybe because they're so sensitive.

 

[Kat S]

Ah, and I just got my period 3 days early. I knew I ovulated before the IUI.

 

[ESwemba84]

Awww Kat, I'm so sorry. Last cycle I got nauseous right before AF. It has to do with prostaglandins........responsible for contraction of the uterus. It may just be a theory, but last cycle I took NSAIDS (Advil) religiously, because they block the production of prostaglandins, and I had a 26 day cycle. I figured if I could stop the uterine contractions, it would add a few days to my cycle. I have no idea if it actually worked, but I think it did. Good luck on your next cycle...

Eye mom, we are looking now, but just browsing online. Our lease isn't up until March, but I think we might have a mold problem, so we might be doing this house thing in the next few months. Yeah, I'd rather get pregnant and deal with the pain than get surgery and put off TTC for 6 months, but we will see which comes first.

Quick pop in : So sorry Kat but don't give up hope just yet AF isn't here

 

[garfie]

Aw Kat - I'm so sorry and for her to come early as well - it's strange you mention nausea because I woke up last month feeling sicky and put it down to the progesterone got quite excited thinking morning sickness - and then she was there so you are not the only to get your hopes up for them to be squashed

I also dreamt I was being sick a few days ago and woke up gagging - strange maybe it is something in our bodies I thought it was either my age or what I had eaten the night before

So tonight hun I hope you are treating yourself to a large

Esw - I have deff heard the saying new house new baby and it has proved to be true on here - so you never know

Pink - I have never had a tour of maternity hospitals - it seems to be the new thing, back in the day the hubby dropped you off - you were settled in, he went back to the car with a special piece of paper (in case security came around) while they were checking you hubby was in a different room often told he could either go home or go to the canteen and if you began well..................................... on my first in Germany he was on his way out of the door to go home and shower when they decided (at last) I was an emergency and one of the nurses were shouting him back (in German of course) so he carried on walking security had to stop him

Next time I want a tour of the maternity hospital - other than the sad rooms I have been in

Good idea hubby knows where he is going - because to be honest when the time comes he might not know his arse from his elbow to begin with

Mackjess - You naughty lady smuggling food in I think I would do the same now okay maybe not a three course meal - but deff some sweets or something similar It can be a long time especially with the smell of the trolleys wafting past you

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - Temp has gone up but only slightly OPK still POS will see once again what tomorrow brings

You must have missed my post announcing AF's arrival. It's ok... These forums can move fast!

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - I'm so sorry that AF arrived and early too after all those signs. Being tricked by our bodies happens to all of us at some point.

garfie - good luck in catching that egg.

ES - ooh, a new house! How exciting!! Good luck in your quest to find your new home.

mackjess - I am too much of a rule-follower but I did steal some of DH's snacks during labour. I ate a small handful of fruit loops cereal. So when i was on the operating table for my csection and they asked if I had eaten in the past 12 hours I just said 'no'. I figured 4 or 5 small pieces of cereal wouldn't greatly affect anything.

 

[Kat S]

ES, thank you! Now I have an answer! From Dr. Google:

"Primary dysmenorrhea is the more common type of dysmenorrhea and is due to the production of prostaglandins. These are natural substances made by cells in the inner lining of the uterus and other parts of the body. The prostaglandins made in the uterus make the uterine muscles contract and help the uterus shed the lining that has built up during the menstrual cycle. If excessive prostaglandins are produced, the woman may have excessive pain or dysmenorrhea with her menstrual cycle. Prostaglandins can also cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea." Yup, that was me!

 

[garfie]

Kat - That is me as well - so small comfort you're not alone do you think it could be related to our age? trying to find info now and what we can do to help it

[garfie]

Starry - Hope you are okay mama

How's symptoms going?

It is a little comforting. I thought maybe my brain wanted a baby so badly that it was sending me fake pregnancy symptoms. I think they call it "hysterical pregnancy". Thank god that's not what it is!! Yes, please to share whatever you find out. I have to go to work now or I'd start researching more myself. The girl who told me about it said she just started taking Advil when the nausea started coming on and it helped, but I'd like to know for sure what to do/how to prevent it.

 

[mackjess]

Kat/ES, that is great info! I get that a lot, and during times I knew I wasn't prego or didn't even have a boyfriend... so I would always wonder why I felt like I was getting the flu every time I was PMSing!

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh Kat I'm sorry for your disapointment and what a cow for turning up early !!!!

Garfie your chart sure looks interesting how many pos Opk have ye gotten now ?

Hello to everyone else AFM I'm working away , one of my poor dogs has chipped his ankle bone in two places chasing balls in sand dunes . Now on crate rest for two weeks except for toilet breaks on the lead He is an active border collie so he is going nuts and driving me crackers too !

 

[Starry Night]

Yikes! Left, your poor puppy! I can believe that a crate-bound pup would cause bit of a ruckus. It's too bad we can't explain to them why certain things have to happen or that it is for their own good. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Kat - once again, I'm sorry AF caught you and tricked you like that. I've worried about hysterical pregnancy in the past but from I understand it's a very serious physiological disorder and AF wouldn't have arrived at all. One of my friends knew a girl at her church who that happened to and she got big and everything even though there was no baby. Being tricked by symptoms isn't the same thing. Take assurance that you're not crazy.

afm - sickness is feeling a bit more manageable today after having a very rocky start to my day. It's probably the Gravol but I'm actually starting to daydream about food a bit though most still isn't going down well. Canadian Thanksgiving is next week and I'd love to be able to partake in the turkey dinner!
