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

[Ruskiegirl]

Sending lots of hugs Ruskiegirl, I really hope it's just pregnancy related cramps.

Twag, it doesn't take much to knock my PMA either, even when I know there's a reasonable explanation. Good luck, when you planning testing?

I'm still cramping and have brown cm-y discharge again (sorry tmi) only when I wipe though. It's exactly like what I had for about 2/3 weeks when I was first pregnant with DD (had to have two early scans because of it) but I don't want to get too hopeful as it could easily be AF making her appearance in a different way this month to throw me off!

ETA - should I discard yesterday's temp as I was ill?

I wouldn't especially with some spotting it could be implantation bleeding and the rise could be related to that too just mark illness on your chart

Does anyone have any opinions on pre-seed vs egg whites? We are swaying for a boy so I know if we use pre-seed I will have to add a pinch of baking soda to it. AF is finally gone! So I can finally focus on bding and opking! I should O in about a week! I'm so excited I feel just giddy!

I have heard of people getting some weird issues with the egg whites, infection and such. I used pre-seed occasionally the last couple months. I actually had my OB use it for my annual exam this month since it was right before O day, and what do you know? for me...
It's a bit pricey, and definitely not like a regular lubricant. It dries pretty quickly if used externally (TMI-like on DH), I used the applicators a couple times. I make my own EWCM, so it actually made it a little "too" wet down there... To each their own.

9DPO here trying to keep up the PMA but struggling since the massive temp dip this morning even though I know it is likely because I woke with my mouth open but it knocked my PMA

Temp dips can be good things... I had one 8dpo. 11dpo...

I hope it is just pregnancy cramping hun. Take care and will stay wishful for you. xxx

Just popping in again, I'm on cd6 with the first round of clomid, so we'll see how that goes.

This is a question for those of you who use soft cups. And possibly TMI, although whenever someone warns that on this thread I'm never grossed out so I think you can all handle it!

I usually put a soft cup in after bd and take it out in the morning. It always looks like there is barely anything left in the cup, but I know that dh produces a good amount of the swimmers. Obviously (hopefully) most of it is going in my uterus, but I never seem to see it again as discharge. Where does it go? Does it get absorbed by my body? Do the other soft cup users experience the same thing with barely anything in the cup when you remove it?

 

[burgbrandy]

My assumption is that it goes through ur uterus and into the fallopean tubes and then just keeps going out of the tubes into the abdominal cavity where it is absorbed by the body. I know thats what happens to the dye when u have an hsg done.

Oh yeah, good call! I always forget that there's that gap there, in my mind the whole system is a one-way street, closed off to the rest of the body. I obviously do NOT work in the medical profession

This is my first month charting. I ovulated cd 15 and its now cd 20 and ice get to get crosshairs. I ovulate on my own every month so I know that I did. All my temps are high since O day.

I didn't get my crosshairs but I knew I ovulated too so I had to manually put them on (I used opks as my choice). I don't know for sure why I didn't get them without manually doing it.

Apparently most of it does get absorbed by the body before even gets to the tubes or even cervix. Watch this and you will have a better idea of what happens. It actually very interesting!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAnMymnJiLM

Hi everyone,

A lot has been happening in the couple of days since I posted, I hope everyone is doing ok

I'm full of worry tonight, my nearly 3 year old DD launched herself into the air landing really hard on my lower back (we were on the bed). All 16 kgs of her

It really hurt and now I'm panicking that if there was a little baby starting up in there that this would have stopped it all from happening. I'm only 4 or 5 dpo and know I'm being a bit bonkers, but I'm worried...

R xoxo

How do I manually do it?

I don't think you should be worried at all!! With my PG with my fourth I had a terrible bicycle accident that landed my pubic bone straight into my handle bars and then me hitting the ground very hard. I was about 14 weeks at that time and I thought that I would lose the baby for sure. I started to contract and bleed, but new there was nothing they could do for me if baby wasn't going to stay. Had an ultrasound when we got home (were away camping) and everything was perfectly normal!! So if I could go through all that and still be PG and deliver a healthy baby I am sure if there is a little one trying to dig in you will be fine!!

have you tested recently?

 

[chulie]

Roseyposey when I was 20 weeks pregnant I fell on ice...hard...I was terrified but the dr assured me those babies are SO safe in there. Unless there was serious trauma....your completely safe. So if anything was going on in there, it still is, very safely!!!!

Ya Ruskie did you test with fmu? Recently??
