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

[mowat]

Went to see a naturopath yesterday. We went over my history at length, and she asked a ton of questions, and seemed to notice things that had never occurred to me. But, no real answers. I'm going to do some hormone testing soon, and I'm starting taking vitamin C, D, fish oil and something called an adrenal px balance. She thinks my body has been so sick for so long that it can't sustain a pregnancy. She wants me to wait 3 months to try, but I told her I'd wait two. So two AFs! Agh.

In better news, my temperature rose this morning and yesterday I had a ton of EWCM. Just took an opk and it is darker than I've ever seen. Hoping that means I'm ovulating? Guess tomorrow's temp will show the answer. Hoping I'm closer to AF!

 

[Kat S]

Fingers crossed that you are close to real answers and solutions, Mowat!!

 

[eyemom]

Pink the room is coming together so nicely!

I'm sure it is really hard to wait mowat. :-/ Hope you're healing up great...lots of luck to you.

mowat, I used adrenal stuff for awhile before I got pregnant. my glands and hormones were a mess from celiac and Hashimoto disease. I was told there was no way I was ovulating, but I wasn't trying yet, I went to the doctor to figure out my moods, etc. it helped me, but I don't know how long it would have taken since we didn't try for awhile after treatment.

 

[nevergivingup]

Pink the room looks perfect already. You're def on a mission! I'm taking notes for next time.

Mowat: Sorry ab the waiting but glad to hear that you still have a chance at it just need to let your body rest and regroup, that def sounds logical at least for me when I was going through m/c after m/c not giving my body's chance to rebuild itself. Those 2 AF once they get here will run by. In the mean time I hope we can keep u busy

Lisalee: You are so amazing!! You are so not a bad BnB ner! You are a full time mom and a full time worker we're just happy to hear your ok.

 

[lpjkp]

Sorry to hear of your recent loss lisalee hope you're ok as can be xxxx

 

[Pinkcasi]

Thanks guys.

Mowat, glad your able to 'do' some thing perhaps a little rest will be good for you, just try to relax and not worry about it for a bit, I know that probably impossible but you've been stressing about this forever it can't be good for you or dh.

Lpkjp, loving your ikkle baby pic, what a cutie pie, how's it going?

I have the mw in half an hour, I'm officially 28 weeks, I've been in 3rd tri forum for a week now but now I know I'm definitely there!

When are peeps testing? I just know there will be a barrage of bfps soon, I'm just waiting for it

 

[garfie]

Pink - I tested this morning - BFN - so will test again tomorrow unless she comes

One thing though I'm not waiting another 7 weeks by the way your nursery looks lovely - so now it's beginning to feel real

[nevergivingup]

Hi Lpjkp!! Glad to see you're still around.

Garfie: Fingers and Toes are crossed for tomorrow!!

There will be some more BFP b4 this year is out! We have time!! Head up ladies!!

 

[lpjkp]

I'm well pink husband started his new job today so my first ever day home alone with the little guy for a whole day...it's hard work,especially as his naps are nowhere near long enough to get all the housework done too,but I love it. I'll sleep well tonight though!

I'm always around never,still stalking and following everyone's journey...I may not always be able to write (unless there's times like now when he's breast feeding) but I think of and root for you all x I owe a lot to this group for being one of the incredibly lucky ones,and wouldn't be sat here with my little guy without this groups support xx

AFM: after so long of not being sure of anything I've finally figured what I want to do with my life...and I'm applying to retrain as a midwife! Lets see if I get it,eh?

 

[Pinkcasi]

Sorry garfie, fx'd for tomorrow.

Oh lpkjp that's great, a midwife you must have enjoyed giving birth lol, I think that's a wonderful vocation good for you.

That's what worries me after 2 weeks when oh goes back to work and it's just me and baby, fending for ourselves that's scary.

In other news, I went back to work today after 4 weeks off with SPD, I managed less than 4 hours and am now in agony, I don't know what to do, I have 6 weeks till my maternity leave starts and I just don't know that I can do it every day, oh well I'll see how I feel in the morning.

 

[Sweetz33]

HI LADIES!!!

F'x Garfie!!

Pink the room looks *sings* AWESOME!!!!

Lisa...GREAT TO SEE YOU!!!! So sorry about you loss...*hugs* I stopped BF at 1 month due to intolerance (all my kids have it). My docs are atributing the irregularity to the lyme disease. (joy)

AFM - Had a long night last night. My boss wants me to make a website, which is no problem...but she wanted it in less than 12 hours. O_O I did what I could but there is no way in the world I could make a professional webpage (on a free site btw...bc she wants to see what I can do before paying for a domain) with 6 sub menus in less than 12 hours. Of course she was VERY specific on what she want too *twitch* so I had to do all the html from scratch. Then when I final felt like I did enough for the night...Xan woke up *RAWR!* Needless to say I finally crawled into bed at 4:30am....then hubby's alarm woke me up at 7:30. I'm hoping to get as nap at some point...but not counting on it. haha

 

[mowat]

Thanks for all the kind words guys---starting to feel better. Unfortunately my temp dropped this morning, so I guess I didn't ovulate. Hmmmm.

Getting excited for some testing soon! Come on guys, we need some BFPs! Your chart is looking good Garfie----I'm rooting for you!

 

[Kat S]

I'm just waiting for AF. Should see her in the next 24-48 hours. Then I can move on and hopefully have an IUI again. PLEASE no cysts this time!!

 

[eyemom]

Bummer Kat, how do you know?

 

[Kat S]

Bummer Kat, how do you know?

I always get diarrhea on day 7/8 and I got it like clockwork. My CM changed, and most importantly, the two hpts I took said BFN.

 

[eyemom]

Well that stinks but it seems like you are staying positive so How many dpo are you now? Fx NO cysts! GL as you proceed!

AFM: I'm 7 dpo and I swore I wouldn't symptom spot but I can't shut my brain up. Somebody shut me up.

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - so sorry that this cycle didn't work for you. I hope there aren't any cysts so you can proceed with IUI.

eyemom - no help from me, I'm afraid. I'm thinking I'm about 6dpo and am totally giving up because there aren't any symptoms. I know it's too soon but my bfp cycles I'm usually pretty good at guessing so I just feel 'out'. It's my first real cycle back so it's silly to expect it be so soon but the overall journey for #2 is starting to feel long.

But since we're symptom spotting, anything interesting going on? I'm getting heartburn and feeling really warm and flushed yet am not coming down with anything. The heartburn isn't a true sign for me as I do get it from time to time but it's been every night so it's my only glimmer of hope at this point.

6 dpo is too soon anyway because implantation may not have even happened yet. I'm not helping right? I know what you mean about your gut feeling. I definitely had that with my 2nd pregnancy. My first pregnancy which resulted in dd, I think I sorta did but to a lesser degree. But now I don't feel like I can trust my gut anymore because I've gotten my hopes up a time or two and been wrong...but mostly, even if I start to think something might mean something, I immediately talk myself out of it because I think it just couldn't be or I don't want to get my hopes up...or whatever. In that regard, I haven't been wrong yet. I've just played so many mind games with myself at this point, I really can't take anything to mean anything.

As for the symptoms spotting, ehhh....
I had a teeeeeny bit of what I believe to be ovulation spotting.
Then I had a teeeeeny bit of (TMI) blood-tinged mucus on the same day as a slight temp dip. I've had some weird spotting last few cycles, but it looked different than anything I've seen before. Temp back up next day and no more spotting. I want to think this could possibly be implantation spotting, but I don't really think it is because it might have been 5 dpo, but it was probably only 4 dpo which I think is too soon. Plus with my recent trend of spotting, it was probably just more of the same even though it looked different.

Last night after dinner, I suddenly started having some sinus congestion, which has continued today. With no other symptoms. Other than tonight when I got home (from a VERY light day at work), I was just beyond exhausted, I could barely will my body to move. Positive this is just a cold, but of course I have to over-analyze.

I had a bit of a temp dip again this morning, which probably isn't good if it's real. But I don't know how much to trust it since I was temping with my mouth half open since I couldn't breathe through my nose at that time, lol.

Really though, the only real early symptom I have ever had before was sensitive nipples. I SOMETIMES (less lately) get super sensitive nipples as a PMS symptom except my last pregnancy it continued. Typically, it goes away a day or two before AF arrives and that's when I know there's no hope of pregnancy that cycle. But this time and last few months...they don't really feel like anything.

Sometimes I just hate paying attention and I wish I could just shut down and not notice anything for two weeks.

GL Starry!

 

[Kat S]

Starry and Eyemom....love hearing about your symptoms! Fingers crossed for you both!!

Eyemom, today is CD 28. I THINK it's 13 dpo, though (if I go by the CB opk). So I should see AF today or tomorrow unless I'm having a slightly longer cycle. Like I said, I have zero symptoms and the hpts were negative, so I just need AF to show so I can move on. Please let the cysts be gone. I can't take it anymore!
