November Testing Party (cont. from October Testing Party thread) - Join Me!

[EmilieBrianne]

Emilie, I fell today too about three feet onto our concrete cellar stairs and then slid the rest of the way down. I feel your pain! Clumsy day all around, huh? Feel better

Aww are you okay? Yes a very clumsy day lol

 

[Querida87]

Emilie and MamaBee, I am a total clutz and my mom says I was born that way, so don't feel bad. I have a habit of running into (or stubbing toes on) doorways, corners and even walls, as well as slipping, twisting my ankles, smacking myself in the head, and getting stuck in small places that my ample rear end can't fit through (and I ought to know better than to try) so I totally get it. FX you both feel better soon, although I suggest some mild pain relief or at least heating pads and self-pampering. Emilie, if you banged the bone, you can expect tenderness and pain for well over a week, especially if you don't get a bad external bruise. Bone bruises are more painful and slower to heal than skin bruising, just as a sprain takes longer to heal than a break. This is 27 years of experience talking here. lol

I am the same way if I can get hurt I will. I am taking pregnancy safe medicine for pain since I don't know yet if I am pregnant. I don't think I am since I have most of my af symptoms except for actual af. But I am really emotional recently. I cry at the drop of a hat and I get mad anytime I see a pregnant woman. But that is mostly because I am jealous lol.

11dpo did a test this morn.... Bfn hoping there's just not enough hcg yet... Getting pressure. Moods. Heartburn. Cramps on left side, as that's the only tube I have left after an ectopic. Cervix is medium soft and kind of closed. Cm getting thinner like egg white. Not as thick as ovulation. 3 days left.... Not holding out much hope xx

 

[MamaBee413]

MamaBee....your chart looks like you are pregnant! You have awesome temps...I totally would have tested already if I had a chart like that!!

You got me! I tested Halloween and got a faint faint line and confirmed it again Sunday night. I just wanted to catch up with everyone here before announcing, but there is no time like the present! Of course, I had one of the most stressful days ever yesterday plus the fall so we are cautiously optimistic. My first appointment with the doctor isn't until Dec 1st so here's to lots of future testing to see if the lines darken! Thank you all so much for coming alongside and keeping me entertained and encouraged during our ttc time. to you all!!! Kool-aid all around

 

[MamaBee413]

I think I'll be okay. Super sore (especially my right shoulder and hip), but I have a lifetime of clutzdom behind me too and so my body is a little used to bumps and bruises. Tylenol and heating pad for the win! Thanks for asking.

 

[Rockinghorse]

Hey everyone, how are you all?
She still hasn't come to visit me. I was supposed to start in Friday. I'm getting impatient now though. I wish that she would turn up or I will get a BFP. I haven't got long to test again (Saturday) so hopefully something will show up.

Aw that's fantastic news. Congratulations

 

[EmilieBrianne]

Okay this is new to me ( sorry in advance for being Tmi) but I milky white cm and a lot of it. Like it fills like it is pouring out of me. I am having to wear a liner because it is that heavy. Anyone have any ideas what this is about? I am 13 dpo if that helps

Eclaire - I'm glad the dream didn't make you test! Maybe if this is my month I'll have a girl the as me and hubby went veggie for October and I LOVE chocolate!

MJsBaby - I know all those tips won't suit everyone. As long as hubby doesn't find the temping annoying I'd say go for it! We live just outside London (about an hour to the west). We went to the Lake District for our wedding anniversary this year. It is sooooo beautiful! I want to retire there!

Bighouse - yes it can be stressful when work gets in the way of this cycle we were both out on the day of ovulation. I got a little stressed when I first realised but then thought there is nothing I can do about it so just made sure we BD'd the day before and the day after instead. I hope the sauna, jacuzzi and salmon cheer you up!

Miss406 - sorry I don't know about colostrum. But I see Eclaire has answered your question!

Prettybirdy27 / Britborn80 / TKLong13 - welcome :wave: I have you added. GL this cycle.

J&J - sorry about the bleeding Do you get pre AF spotting? I never use to get it until trying to conceive.

Olive - FX'd the breathing difficulties is a good sign. I've not heard of that before. However if it gets worse I'd go and see a doctor.

Megan - the turtle costume sounds so cute, but so does the onesie! Sorry for the BFNs. Me and hubby decided to give up hot yoga and have more sex, as we usually only BD from the second week of my cycle until just after ovulation! I never realised it can take 4-5 ejaculations to get rid of all the poor sperm. Oh and I would love a girl too as I want her middle name to be Edith after my Nan, and would love my Nan to still be around to meet her.

Rockinghorse - sorry to hear you don't get on with your mum. I'm sure she would only be upset if you got a BFP because she wants the best for her daughter and may think it could stop you graduating or something. But hey, I'm sure even if you do have a baby your a strong enough women to continue with your studies and graduate. They you can show her who was right! Plus it will be her grandchild so I'm sure she would love the baby whatever happens.

Ronnie - try not to worry about the cup if green tea. I'm sure it's fine! Just remember what I was told by a fertility specialist at the expedition I went to - be good 80% of the time and treat yourself 20% of the time!

Mama - nice to hear from you and u hope you have had a good vacation! And congrats in your BFP! I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months! I'm so pleased for you!

Atlanta - :wave: hi. How are you?

Onetubeleft - sorry for the bfn. FX'd it's too early.

EDIT: Good Luck bbydust and MrsMAsh! Let us know when you test today!

 

[Miss406]

Congrats Mamabee!

 

[Bing28]

Well I'm just patiently waiting over here. I'm 5dpo today but think im getting a yeast infection. Does anyone know if it's okay to use a pessary and thrush cream whilst in the TWW? I dont want to use anything that could effect my chances.

In relation to bring clumsy...a few weeks ago I was walking down the platform at the train station. Something got my attention so I turned round, but carried on walking, and walked straight into a lamppost! I certainly gave the other commuters a good laugh!

Xx

He he - whoops
I fell over a tree stump whilst watching the fire works display on Saturday I wanted to take my Fiancé with me too but didn't get the chance

 

[jordypotpie]

Hey all I hope you don't mind me jumping in. I feel I'm going a little symptom spotting crazy..trying to handle the TWW alone is awful. I am currently 10 dpo and have just 4 days left until I am due for AF. I haven't had many symptoms that were super intense other than nausea and I start feeling super tired around 3 or 4 in the afternoon..my urine has started to appear slightly cloudy..sorry for the but I've had and lot more cm than normal (pretty much just like my bop cycle back in may) (it ended in a MC ): )..and my cp is high wet closed and between soft and firm..it keeps getting a little softer every day. I have a really good feeling about this! Not sure how SO will handle the news if we get a bfp hehe please please fill me in on where everyone is at in their cycle/ttc journey!

Thanks Bing. Yeah I have already got a plan together to make sure that my studies aren't affected. Ah well... Never mind. My sister in law is pregnant and she will find out the gender of the baby today. I'm so happy for her .
With my mum though I think she has bipolar, or something like that. I am not trying to sound harsh but her outburst are so unpredictable and then the next moment she is laughing or just talking normally. It is really bizarre.

Hey Jordy welcome. I have lost count of my days now. I was supposed to start my period on Friday, but still nothing but clear CM. I did a test on Saturday that was BFN and now not doing another till Saturday haha. i have been having a couple of symptoms, but nothing major. I had them more before my period was due but they are calming down now.
I get slight cramping every now and then (which makes me think I have started) and I get sore on my right chest side.
Before though I was having it all, from stomach cramps and backache, to headaches and nausea.
Anyway, good luck with yours and I hope you get the result you want

 

[1Atalanta]

Yaaaay mamabeeeeeeeee!! So happy for you!

Bing, that lamppost story made me lol, that's the kind of thing I would do!

I'm about three weeks after my period and am symptom spotting like crazy, but I was this way for weeks after my miscarriage, so I'm not sure what to think. If was nice to feel normal again for a bit after my period, my boobs went back to normal size and the cramping stopped. Now it's all back, I'm going to test Saturdays once a week until something happens.

Congrats MamaBee!! I just knew it looking at those great temps

Wow...baby #3. You are a very lucky lady! I hope you have a very happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[Julesillini8]

Congrats mamba bee! Yeay!

Lots of women testing soon, some positive sounding posts! Hope there's much more excitement flying around here soon! Good luck to all

I'm finishing up AF here...it was another pretty light one. I'm going to ask my acupuncturist about it. My temps were nice and high this month so I know I'm producing progesterone, and my luteal phase was a solid 12 days (which is good for me!). But AF only lasted about 2.5 days and it was light. I wonder if that indicates a problem?
