New Year 2012 babies

[Kimbre]

UTI's dont really have most to do with not showering... thats more yeast infections... but yeast infections - you can get by using fragrance body wash down there. I have a tilted Uterus and ppl that have those get yeasts AND UTIs ALOT!

anyway, u typically get a UTI if you dont drink enough... so if you have a heathly urinary tract (drink as much as youre suppose to during the day) you most likely wont get one.

and cranberry juice is great for your urinary tract as well, to keep it UTI Free. hahaha Ive had way too many UTIs. ugh. i had one while pregnant and almost went into pre mature labor! so keep hydrated ladies!

Thanks Kimbre... you're probably 100% right. I've been sick and have not been drinking enough water!

Has anyone seen the P.amper's "For every little miracle" commercial? (am I allowed to post links on here? -Looks around-): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxbRdxbBROI&feature=player_embedded

 

[Kimbre]

YESSS i saw that and i was almost in tears. my DH was like.... is there a baby on TV, Kimbre??haha

Ao30 I love that commercial!!! I am 6 dpo now I have had cramps the last 2 days and today. I had a glass of wine last night and I felt drunk. I did have a very low tollerance when I was pregnang the first time I could barely take 1 tylenol. And Tmi for this next part, I have had alot of gas today and yesterday.
I do have a tendency to get cramps but that is usually when af is within a few days.

 

[schoolteacher]

AAaah that adverts lovely! Ive not seen it yet in England.
Traskey-I might (prob!) do a frer at the weekend. Ok, ok I did one today lol, couldn't resist....bfn of course. No symptoms to report!

With regards to previous stuff about uti's-I defo don't drink enough!! but I am trying to drink more, one to help ewcm as I don't really get it, and 2 to try in vain to keep uti's away. I also take cranberry tablets along with the lots of other stuff I take for ttc!

 

[Rivetkitten]

I have a ton of EWCM yesterday... What was that all about. I've also been hideously ill. If I was in the tww I'd swear I was pregnant...but guess what.. I definitely had an AF and I'm definitely not pregnant. I hate my body.

 

[ao30]

Rivet- Do you think it's the soy this time? Your cycle seems to always be so spot-on...

Schoolteacher- I know, every time it gets to the "...or 10 years late" I just want to choke down a sob (but a happy one, since I still have hope!)

Lissa- Oh- I hope those symptoms are real! It must help to have experience to know what to look for (even though I'm sure each pregnancy is different).

Ladies- Loads of EWCM today! Looks like OV is today or tomorrow! I don't think I have much chance this cycle (because I was sick and husband was a bit overworked, we really haven't done "much" this last week). Oh, well. I am glad that it looks like I will OV soon... I was becoming afraid that something was really wrong.

Preseed, Preseed, Preseed!! Might not be the most pleasant part of TTC but really helps if you're lacking EWCM which I always was (due to Clomid) xx

 

[lissa110]

Ao30- DOnt hate me for saying this, but, My first pregnancy I wasnt trying and I didnt know I was pregnant until I was 10w. By this time I was always sick and couldnt be around meat. I honestly dont remember any earlier symptoms or anything different.

Now I have been waiting years for #2 and nothing. . I just hope it happens for all of us. We can all have a 2012 babies .

 

[ao30]

Actually Lissa, when I first got pregnant (miscarried at 8 weeks), I didn't realize I was pregnant until right before the mc! Silly how that works... Hope you get that BFP. I actually think that it must be so hard for those trying for another baby; friends and family probably don't understand secondary infertility as well (so many people seem never to have heard of it).

Temps are up today, higher than they've been all cycle, so I'm guessing I OV yesterday at CD26. Will see if they stay up tomorrow and the day after to confirm.

Schoolteacher- I actually have only been understanding my CM these last few cycles! I couldn't discern between sticky, creamy, EW, etc for the longest time. Perhaps you are just "missing" it? TMI (is there such thing as too much info on these boards?), but I've noticed that on the day I OV I have at least one "wipe" with a lot of EWCM; so much so that I have to wipe both front and back (sorry!). I don't know how I never noticed this before... on the other hand, so far it hasn't helped get me pregnant.

I'm excited for you all to test!

Yep got preseed, started using it last cycle and this cycle so FX!!! Thank-you though.x

 

[schoolteacher]

Hey ao30, yeah it's possible I have missed ewcm in the past as I have only recently started looking out for it. I have read quite a bit on it (my book even has very detailed photos of all the different types of CM! got a shock when I turned the page but very helpful! Since I have been looking out for it I have had one little bit this cycle a few days before ov, it was literally one wipe and stretched maybe 2 inchs between my fingers and then broke. Didn't see any more after that. I figure if you get a lot you would see it all day? Apparently it's also possible for it to stretch a lot more than that too without breaking?

[ao30]

Schoolteacher, when we were discussing UTI's you mentioned that you don't drink enough... what if for this next cycle you made an attempt to really stay hydrated (keeping a water bottle on you at almost all times, etc) and wait to see what happens with the CM?

 

[schoolteacher]

Good idea ao30! I have started doing that but I could do much better at it! it was actually this cycle when I started drinking a bit more and taking epo that I got/noticed my first bit of ewcm so it does help! If I up my game with the water I think it will increase even more-and keep uti's away too!

 

[Rivetkitten]

The soy isoflavens increased my EWCM.. like WOAH!! These last two cycles I've had to stop using preseed.. It's just not been..."right".

 

[ao30]

Can someone explain how preseed actually works?

 

[lissa110]

Hi everyone!!

Ao30-
I have never tried preseed but to my understanding (ladies help me out if Im wrong) it is a jelly like ky but it is for women who are trying to conceive. Instead of ky that may kill sperm its suppose to help the along.
Another note Im sorry about your mc. I think that is the hardest thing to go through my grandma had 12 mc, 1 stillborn, and my mom was her only living child. . Along the lines of the secondary infertility I didnt even know it exists. We havent told too many people about us trying. We dont want any hopes set to high since we have been trying for some time now. But the few we have told dont fully understand what is wrong but they are supportive and help in any way they can.

 

[ao30]

Oh, wow... your grandmother. I can't even begin to imagine! She must have been a very strong woman. It's so nice to hear that the few people you have told have been supportive. Thanks for the info about pre-seed!

FF is telling me that I am 3DPO today. The temps aren't that much higher though, so we shall see. I'm not even going to bother testing this time because our BDing was horrible the week up to OV. Plus, from everything I've read about late OV, it seems that our chance this cycle of conceiving is close to zero.

How is everyone? Anyone test this morning?

 

[jfor3]

Hi everyone - how are we all doing?

ao30 - sorry timing wasn't good for you this cycle

Schoolteacher & Traskey - have either of you tested yet, I'm busting with curiosity!
