Need a TTC buddy

[membas#1]

just dropping by to say hi

sorry AF appears to be on her way LaRockera.

it's hot here, i'm not in a great mood--tomorrow will be 20 degrees cooler though, so that should help not a lot to report on my end--i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so i'm excited for that. haven't seen my OB since getting PG, so i'm hoping everything goes well and is on track.

hope you ladies are well.

Im. In. PAIN.



Other than that, here's a bit of info.

Today, I accompanied my new hubby to an osteopath, as he's got a bad back. That was our second visit to this doc; last one was just before we got married. So doc asks, have you started trying for a yet? I said we have indeed. So after doing his doctorish stuff with my DH, he asks me to take his place on his examining bed, and actually teaches me some techniques to relieve the tension from my womb, and the surrounding area. VERY interesting! He showed hubby how to press-point me in certain parts, and told me to do a couple of exercises for my internal muscles.

Apparently, this guy's been working in collaboration with a gyno. The gyno was trying to help seemingly infertile couples by suggesting natural ways of improving their chance, nutrition and those exercises among them. I was really sceptical about this, as I thought he'd just ask for more money, but he didn't. So I'm like, what the heck, this will only help.

Ha.

And ouch.

Ummmm, can you share these "moves" with the rest of us? Sounds interesting to me. If the witch gets me, I am going in for foot reflexology. I found a chinese guy that specializes in "fertility reflexology"...so I'm going to give it a try It isn't overly expensive and i'm sure it is relaxing too.

Girls, I am still insanely bloated and gassy. Third day in a row. I'm SO hoping this is a good sign. If I'm not pregnant, I have no clue why I feel so awful.

I did find one FRER, but was too scared to use it. And I leave tomorrow, so no testing for me this month.

Firstly, reflexology is nice anyway - so what the heck?!

Second, don't want to get your hopes up but gassy bloating is where I started... I felt like crap!

I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

 

[LaRockera]

Sure I can share! Well, I can try and describe as best as I can.

Three things: One, he told me to try and learn to control my inner muscles. He said I should exercise enough to be able to use different 'moving' techniques for my vaginal and anal muscles. You know, the kind of thing you have to do when you're going for a pee and someone rings the door bell? How you tighten your muscles to control the urine? That kind of exercise. Same thing you'd do during sex to offer your OH that unbeatable 'tight' feeling.

Also (I LOVED this part ). He put oil in my bum and started massaging from my buttocks to my waist. DH was in front of all that of course, and he showed him how to do it.

Finally, he showed my DH how to 'press' certain points on my front area, with either his index finger or his thumb. Those points included inside, outside, and under the labia, and just below my belly button.

I'm keeping my fx for you, MinneGirl.

^^^ what mrs-c said about gassy/bloating...it started early and never stopped (yet). hope it's a good sign for you too minne! you have some willpower not testing! can't wait to hear that AF doesn't show! PMA

LaRockera--sounds interesting and worth a shot! I used acupuncture in the months before TTC to build up a healthy lining and make my uterus a harmonious place (that's what my acupuncturist always said the points were designed to do )

 

[MinneGirl]

Wow girls, I hope you are right. I just ate a kiwi...and immediately, turning stomach. I didn't know this was even a symtom of being pregnant.

LaRockera, thanks for sharing the moves with us! Keep us posted on how they work

Girls, I'm really starting to think this might be my month..which scares me that I'm getting my hopes up. I'm really trying to talk myself out of feeling hopeful...

Watch for some kind of news come Sunday

Minnegirl! I'm excited for you!

 

[BabyDreamer82]

Ooh Minne Im excited for for.!!!!

 

[LaRockera]

Ditto.

 

[MinneGirl]

Totally caved and used my one and only test....

Let's hope its just too early!

 

[MinneGirl]

Mrc-C, how many dpo were you when you got your +?

 

[LaRockera]

Totally caved and used my one and only test....

Let's hope its just too early!

Was that a 10ml? Even if it was, your beanie may have just implanted. Which means no hcg in your bloody for at least a couple of days.

Don't be naughty.

 

[MinneGirl]

Yeah, it was a good test. I'm probably out Oh well, at least I can prepare myself now.

 

[Mrs-C]

Mrc-C, how many dpo were you when you got your +?

I didn't get a faint line until 13 dpo. You're still in! I used FMU too.

 

[BabyDreamer82]

Naughty Minne!!!

Your only 10dpo yes? It is still too early.

Hey can I ask you girls a question? So I had ewcm on CD12, on CD13 I couldnt see any, it was more watery, then yesterdaycd14 i saw the tiniest bit, then today cd15 it seems creamy(its still very early morning). I dont check internally, just what I can squeeze out onto loo paper. Do you think I may have ov'ed cd12/13? I had some cramps & twinges. Last night in the shower I noticed my nips were a bit sensitive & they are again this morning.?

 

[MinneGirl]

Thanks, girls Yes, only 10 dpo...so I guess I'm still in it! I am naughty!!!

Babydreamer, my guess is you Ov'd shortly after you saw the ewcm...so like on day cd 13 or 14. Just my guess though So I think you covered your bases!!

 

[BabyDreamer82]

Oh I hope so! Im suddenly worried about not the last two days

 

[MinneGirl]

Nope, don't worry--if you are certain you saw the ewcm, remember that is the only kind of cm that the spermie can live in, and can live in up to FOUR days! So I think you are safe!

All pro-ovulation cm is actually fertile, MinneGirl . It's just that ewcm is the most fertile. But sperm can survive in all types of pro-ovulation cm. It's post-ovulation mucus that kills it.

A lot of women fell pregnant with only lotiony cm from what I've been reading.
