March Maybe Baby? 3dpo come join me in the tww.

[TTC100]

Hi ladies!!! How is everyone doing? I am cd5 and am nearing the end of AF....it has been good. Lighter than my first after the mc but not too light. Never needed a tampon. Very minor dull lower backache....overall, can't complain. Started the FR digi today. I have decided to test with OPKs about 2-3 times per day. Last cycle I did once a day at about 2pm and never got a positive (although the line got darker), so I may have missed it. Just in case I don't surge in the morning like most women, I am testing once with FMU. Think FMU, 4pm, and 11pm should catch something...fx! It's amazing at how crazy the TWW makes you. I was even relieved when AF showed up...just happy to see something even if not a BFP..lol. Baby dust to all!

 

[Tui]

Sounds like you have your bases covered. Good luck this month.

 

[TTC100]

Thanks...might be a tad overboard, but oh well...lol. How are you feeling Tui?

 

[Tui]

I'm fine thanks. This is the boring bit where you don't feel pregnant, lol. Busy doing jobs round the house as we both have the week off.

 

[TTC100]

Ya, I bet. I didn't start to feel pregnant last time until about 5w3 since LMP. Not only was I 3 days past expected AF, but I was dying from killer heartburn! That was really it, though. Boobs didn't start hurting until a few hours after BFP...that was probably all mental...haha

Hi Ladies, hope everyone enjoyed the easter weekend.

Well AF got me Friday as expected so today is cd5 for me and i don't normally ov until around cd16-18 so a bit of a way to go.

Decided to start temping, so just waiting for my thermometer to arrive in the next couple of days and then i will see if i can get the hang of it.

TTC100 i normally use my opk's around 3pm and have luckily always managed to catch my surge but mine does seem to last at least 2 days. Hopefully once you catch it the first time it will start to follow a pattern so you then won't miss it.

Tui - glad your feeling ok, i agree i don't think i started to feel many symptoms until 5-6wks except for unbearable boobies literally straight away. Enjoy your week off.

Thanks, Kirst81! Last cycle I used the OPK at 2pm...cd16, BFN. cd17, it was darker but not positive based on the instructions. then cd18, BNF. So maybe I missed it...not sure. Same thing happened to me the cycle I got pregnant. I was testing at 4pm and never got a positive. I guess I just timed it right that time...lol cd7 today, we'll see if I can do it again! Baby dust to everyone!

 

[Kirst81]

TTC100 - Sounds like testing morning, afternoon and evening for a while will be the best thing to detect it, as you fell pregnant without getting a positive you must have literally just missed it.
FX you get that super dark OPK this month and catch that little eggy, good luck and lots of baby dust xx

Thanks, hope so too for everyone! I am cd10 and I think o is on the horizon. My lower abdomen is starting to feel "sore" almost and I feel some pressure in my lower abdomen. No + opk just yet..I did buy a BBT so i'll see if I o this month. I never temped before, as I thought it would make me crazy...but what the heck? When you are at the top of the cliff, you might as well jump off! haha

 

[Tui]

Got 3+ weeks on my digi today. I'm 21dpo. Ticker is set to LMP so a bit behind. It's what doc and midwife will go by though.

How is everyone doing?

ttc100 - I had really bad ovulation pain last month, and my uterus felt bruised, lol. Hope it's a good sign for you.

Awesome Tui! Very excited for you....when will your first appt be? I woke up this AM at 6 to take my temp. 96.87...we'll see how it goes. I also started drinking raspberry leaf tea again when AF showed. I started drinking about 3 cups per day about 2 weeks before the m/c and continued to drink it for about 10 weeks (until 1st AF arrived). I stopped after AF just because I read you shouldn't drink it during o. Well I picked it back up again when AF arrived. Think I will drink it through this weekend and then hold off again until either AF or BFP. I don't know if it is doing much, although I had zero pain during the m/c, AF has been pretty easy, and my cycles seem to have shortened to 27 days from 35 days pre-m/c.

 

[Tui]

Not sure raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be drunk when ttc or first trimester. What I have read says only last trimester. Guess there are conflicting bits of advice out there. No wonder we get confused.

No appointments yet. Will see doc at some point. She can arrange a scan when I ask so I'll wait a while.

Ya I read last trimester for sure, but also up until o is fine, just don't want to drink it during implantation. I just had the weirdest thing happen. Was having lunch and felt like something was coming out. Went to the restroom thinking it was bleeding even though AF is over and a good sized chunk of tissue came out. I didn't think I would have any tissue left after hcg dropped to zero and I am already on second AF. Hope that doesn't affect our chances

 

[Tui]

Better out than in. Probably just got a bit stuck somewhere. If hcg is zero then there is no worries about retained tissue.

 

[TTC100]

Good to know...thanks!

 

[Kirst81]

Glad everything is going well Tui, its always nice to see the weeks progressing on the digitals.

TTC100 - They were my exact views on temping also, will it make me even crazier than i already am. My thermometer arrived but i have yet to start using it so really should get my bum in gear. Any signs you may have ovulated yet?

Im currently CD13 so i think I'm likely to ovulate around the weekend, planning to start my opk's this afternoon.

 

[TTC100]

Nothing yet, Kirst. I am cd15 and really no o signs except for wet cm the other day and I still have some cm today. No + opks at all. I tried feeling for my cervix and I think I felt it...not sure. lol. I felt something that felt like the tip of a nose, which indicates no o. I have been temping, but I honestly don't know how to read this thing or what to make of it...haha My chart is below. I am a bit worried. My cycle last month was 27 days, so if I don't o soon, I am concerned that I will have too short of an LP. But my mind is also trying to convince me that I wont o at all....geez...so frustrating! I actually have a f/u US tomorrow morning to check on my lining and an ovarian cyst I had back in Feb. Doc thinks the cyst was from ovulating, but she just wanted to confirm it is gone now. Maybe they can tell me something from the US tomorrow about whether I am going to o soon or not!

 

[TTC100]

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing? I'm cd15 and it looks like ovulation is on its way for me. My opks have all been stark white negative, but today it is getting darker...so excited!! I'm still temping too, so I will be able to confirm for sure.

 

[TTC100]

Also just noticed a bunch of ewcm....I think it's time to bd!!! fx!

 

[Kirst81]

Great news TTC100, hope you got down to it sending lots of

I decided last minute to take a bit of a break this month, so no opk testing and no bd schedule just when we fancy it instead.

So I'm now cd19 and pretty sure due to ov pains and EWCM that i ovulated sat/sun, we did bd sunday but i think i probably missed it and the last time before that i think was probably a couple of days too early so i am actually looking forward to a relaxed cycle which i think i really needed.
