MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[burgbrandy]

Yes, ull be fine switching thermometers that early. Bbt is much more accurate.

 

[OurLilFlu]

That's fine some ppl don't even temp thru AF because its all over the place anyways. I like to because I don't like seeing gaps

 

[gabbygabz]

Just wanted to give my report for this round: AF showed up bang on schedule with requisite pre-AF spotting. So it's on to Clomid Round 1! Appt is Friday. Really hoping this works.

GL and to everyone still in the hunt for May ... see the rest of you in June!!

 

[omgbaby]

Woohoo! Good! Lol

[kiki13]

Yup I'm going to get a bbt now so that I can temp all thru this cycle! Thanks hopeful 2014!

 

[ClandestineTX]

@ALiKO Great news about the water!! What cd did you start and how much a day? I always thought the water option seemed the best/easiest, but I haven't fully tried it yet. I'm committing to it starting now!

@Hopeful: yes it really works I'm so excited. Come to think about it I actually think you may have been the one to suggest it
In any case I drink about 4-6 cups of water a day. Keep in mind I'm still drinking other things as well throughout the day. There are online water calculators that depending on your own personal lifestyle it tells you how much water you should drink to properly hydrate yourself. Here's the links:

https://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm

https://www.csgnetwork.com/humanh2owater.html

You can use either one. According to both I require about 7 cups of water so I'm building up to that . And I started CD 8 the day right after AF ended. Now that I've started my fertile days today I'm gonna try to get in the full 7 cups or at least 5 to 6 cups. Hope that helped!

Hi Hopeful,
The positive attitude on this thread is wonderful and so appreciated!
I'm doing well. 5wks1day today. So far so good. I have had really mild cramps and back pain the last 4 days or so, not bad enough to need any pain meds, just enough to notice. From what I understand it's totally normal as things are stretching out. Breasts are still mildly sore, not too bad, still in regular bras (last time I was in sports bras by this time . Mostly fatigue is my major symptom. I've been managing to get naps in here and there and lots of sleep at night. Course they are filled with weird, sometimes disturbing dreams. I find the cramps calm down if I can lay down. Emotions are running high, but not sure if it's the pregnancy, or the previous loss. DH is very scared, starts crying when he thinks about what could happen again. Strangely I feel VERY little of the fear I felt last time. Last time was my first pregnancy, but from day one I was mortified and constantly googling miscarriage stats etc. This time I kind of realize that even though our chances were so low last time (having seen HB etc) it happened anyway. So stats don't mean anything to me. This time I am feeling very confident. I think partly because I had my BFP early, and the numbers on my two betas were good, and last time I had AWFUL cramps before my BFP, like on the floor in tears cramps. For some reason I just feel like this time it will work. It may be ignorant, but I don't care!
I am not nearly as anxious to tell people this time though. I told my parents so that I can talk to my mom about it, but no one else. For now I'm actually enjoying it being our secret.
As far as my previous comment about having perfect timing and it just not happening, it's completely true. My first BFP was on 2nd month off BC w/o a ton of effort. This time charting, OPKs, pre-seed etc and it took 6 months. We tried hard every month. Including Dec, which entailed sneaking in the BD while staying at SIL and his grandma's for the holidays! We still managed at least EOD that month. This month we did 5 days in a row up to and including O day. I'm not saying that's what worked, just saying that sometimes it's just not your month no matter how perfectly you did everything. in my head it just means that the eggy wasn't the right one for your perfect LO.

 

[kirstyjane13]

Can you make me official for a bfp....just did another test after work and its a definite positive but can't seem to get a good pic of it. I'm just going to my sisters to use her proper camera and not my phone xx

 

[burgbrandy]

Congratulations! Happy and healthy nine months to you. Did you do anything different this cycle?

 

[omgbaby]

I was wondering after ff says I o'd can I still bd or is it off limits? Lol

 

[burgbrandy]

There is nothing wrong with bd in tww! If bd was off limits, almost everything else would be too and u would have to lay in bed for 2 weeks to be pregnant. Lol!

I understand why you ask that. I have been worried about that since I ovulated too lol. You are good to BD.

Can you still continue to tell us your symptoms and how you feel .. it makes me feel like I am experiencing it even if I'm not

 

[kirstyjane13]

2 pics of test i did after work, quite blurry and not great pics but on the actual test there is defo a line this time ...

last month was first month off the pill so i suppose i just took a while to adjust xx

 

[nikkilucky77]

Yey!!

Congrats to the BFPs keep them coming, good luck to those still to test and hold tight those in the tww. Lets hope everyone gets that soon

AFM: no 'symptoms' as such really yet but still early days, I did read somewhere that feeling sick is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy which just makes me worry, I am pretty sure that is not the case though. I shold have realsied from my last time round that googling everything isn't a good idea! I have been VERY hormonal last few days and getting upset alot. I have fallen out with my sister as well although funnily enough now her stress has been taken away I feel much better. Unfortunatley though we hadn't wanted to tell people about our pregnancy but because she was upsetting me so much my DH told her OH to calm her down that we didnt want the stress as I was in the very early stages of pregnancy. I really hope she doesnt tell people. Hopefully she wont some of her last words to me were "your dead to me" but then she got annoyed when I said thats fine I understand you just wont have to have anything to do with me my DH or my son and then she got angry and told me "I was a s**t mother" for using DS against her. I dont understand how she expects to have a relationship with my son if she doesnt want anything to do with me HIS MOTHER?? She doesnt have parental rights as far as I know lol thats me and my DH.


WOW sorry for the rant - still angry it would seem!!!


Sorry for the typos!!

You deserve that rant! Get it out . Sounds like you don't need her stress!
