Ahh I am freaking out today ladies, Im so nervous
Tomorrow I leave for WA but I haven't ever been on a plane before and Im freaking out. Anyone have some tips for me?

Aw don't be nervous! I personally have always thought that being on a plane is so fun! It makes me feel like some kind of fancy jet setter, ha ha is that lame?
Tip #1 = sit by the window, I'm deathly afraid of heights but I feel like this is different because it kind of settles your stomach if you get a little sickness as you can see why you're moving .
Tip #2 = bring doofy magazines that you'd never read, something silly like a celebrity gossip magazine, something to distract you mindlessly from any fears.
Tip #3 = airplanes have little air nozzles like little personal fans almost above your seat, adjust it so you can have some nice air flowing on your face!

and most of all think of it as a fun adventure! ! oh and wear pjs if it's going to be a long flight.

I really hate planes too! I mostly just try to sleep through the flight. If that requires a bit of a sleeping pill or sleeping a bit less the night before, I do what will work. That really helps me get through it!

Thanks ladies, I am going to bring my laptop as my carry on item because its small and it'll keep me busy. Im not leaving until 8pm so the sleeping trick might work if I get bored of Dexter my flight isn't too long so Im not as nervous as yesterday..for now, when I get there that'll be a diff story
I got a bfn this morning but my cramps came back and are pretty strong so idk.
Im not testing again until the 29th or 30th(af due the 30th) trying to stay positive but I just feel like Im out already
Anyway hope you guys have a good day, I will update you all soon

Absolutely!

Tell us a little about yourself! How long have you been TTC and what number are you TTC?

 

[Bee Bee]

Hi Ladies!

Just dropping in to say HI. I haven't been as active on here just due to the crazy nature of this long cycle of mine. It's hard to talk about or even do much TTC when your body is doing absolutely nothing to help the issue! lol!

I feel right now, more than other times in my cycle, that I MIGHT O soon. Boobs are a bit heavier and been experiencing quite a bit of watery CM being "expelled" (not sure on the scientific term for that! lol) which I haven't experienced in a long time. (meaning, I hardly ever feel anything come out of me. Used to a lot when I was younger but not lately). I also keep getting O pains, but I've been getting those periodically all cycle so I'm not paying it too much heed. Been taking OPKs randomly though and still nothing on that front. Today I am CD59.

Been eating extremely healthy the past week. About 90% fruit/veg. I'm hoping by cutting out a lot of fat, sugar, soy, and dairy that maybe I can restart my body some how. I'm not sure if I mentioned but someone mentioned that I might be estrogen heavy (thus why I have so much fertile CM most of the month) and a lot of those items I cut out carry estrogen in them. I've lost 3-4 lbs this week already from it.

I've also got a boudoir shoot coming up this upcoming Friday! I'm excited and nervous about it. Excited because its a gift for my husband, nervous because I am not in my ideal body right now (far from it). But, I am hoping that a boudoir shoot will help me appreciate my body a bit more!

Other than that, I have another doc appointment on Feb 11th for thyroid levels. If I haven't O'd by then then I will bring it up to the doc and see what she thinks. I'll be CD76 by then, if that's the case!

Sounds like you should BD despite what any ovulation tests say just in case you are ovulating! Sounds like you could be!

A boudoir shoot sounds awesome -- I need to do that so I feel a bit better about the extra bit of weight I got from my miscarriage. I lost a lot of weight after the MC due to depression and everything going on, but then it messed up my metabolism and I haven't been able to get back to my usual weight since then. I guess I just have a new 'usual weight' now.

We bought a Hurom juicer (cold press juicer) and it's been a wonderful way to cut out any snacking, etc.
(In fact I've had 3 juices and a sweet potato today and it's almost 5 pm!)

Are you taking prenatals?

Yeah, we've been BDing quite a bit. Not as much as we do when I know I'm gonna ovulate for sure, but a decent amount. I forgot to mention it but we got Hubby's blood checked and he does have low testosterone. Explains why he doesn't have any real sex drive. Also he has some ED issues even though the desire is there when we do BD. So doc gave him viagra to try out as well. Beens working pretty well so far

I do, I take a prenatal and DHA pill every day! Been taking them for about 4-5 months now

 

[Reba1987]

I feel like I'm out of the game this month, despite some twingey-ness in my uterus area and slightly more sensitive nips.

Other than that no signs of anything :/ boooo, but I'll still test of course in a few days

 

[hollydazzles]

Hello all! Thanks for letting me jump in! We are ttc number 1! We have been married almost 7 years and had an ectopic before we had been married a year. So technically we have an angel baby already This is our first cycle actively trying and i am excited and nervous. I'm 25 and DH is 27.

 

[Abii]

Hey ladies I have been in WA for 2 days and I already love it! its so beautiful here and the people are really nice(not something Im used to in Cali) I wish I could have hubby and Zozo here though, I miss them so much.
Hubby was texting me last night and we started making plans for his next vacation, he wants to drive out here with Zo so they can see WA. We want to move out of cali and if he likes it, I wouldn't mind moving here
On another note..all of my symptoms disappeared again even my breast pain but whats weird is that I threw up this morning. My dad asked me if it was ms lol but of course I denied it, alot of the times when I wake up I feel nauseous but I haven't ever thrown up from it and now I still feel sick. I know what ms feels like cause I had it horribly with dd but sadly this doesn't feel like it so Im either waiting for af or testing on 29th if it doesn't arrive.

Bee- congrats on the weight loss, keep up the great work I wish I had the confidence to do a boudoir shoot but I dont think I would ever feel comfortable, I have too much baby flab for that lmao!
and glad to hear that the Viagra is helping, yay for bd'ing

Reba- I know how you feel hun! all of my symptoms are gone so Im confused as hell and thinking Im out. But we aren't out til af shows. Haha and thats funny, you and I might be cycle buddies without even realizing it

Welcome holly:wave:

Welcome holly:wave:

Ooooh here's hope that your throwing up is ms!!
I keep trying to 'forget' about the baby thing so I can get through this tww, but every once and a while i'm like omg is that a symptom but then it goes away.

The only thing I can really say that would be a 'sign' is that my body is hot to the touch which happened with my first pregnancy. OR it's because it's FREEZING in Atlanta and I've got the heater blasted!!!!!!

Yay cycle twins

 

[KylasBaby]

1dpo for me. Starting my first tww and can already tell it's gonna suck haha

 

[Abii]

I just got the urge to go by a test and i can't fight that urge (i can SEE the Kroger from my house so I may as well go get one) but yes I will test with you on the 29 !!

 

[Reba1987]

OMG LADIES I JUST GOT MY BFP!!!!
It's light but it's there! I tried to take a picture but my camera phone sucks.
We're so excited but also feel almost weird getting excited due to our miscarriage last time.

but I feel like I'm allowed to get excited even if that WERE to happen again!!

I'm shaking. I hope everyone else gets their bfp or ovulation soon
