November Testing Thread :)!

[Toni8]

Hey all, I pretty much stalk this page, so I wanted to post something I had a dream last night that I was pregnant, I havn't even ovulated yet, it should be any day now though!
Congrats breadsticks! Hopefully I'll be lucky this month too. Let's hope dreams come true!

 

[Medipea]

Hope all you ladies are doing well!

Been away for a few days and missed the big news. Congrats Breaksticks!! Amazing news!

So sorry to hear nic18, about everything. Sending huge hugs your way and lots of support. We're all here for you!

Currently 5DPO and nothing really to report. My husband keeps telling me I'm preggo. He seems to think 2 people have sex, then know the next day whether they are preggo or not. He's silly. Have tingly nipples still, and have been super gassy the past few days. But these could def be very normal for me. Time will tell I suppose.

 

[Noo]

Nothing to report here. CD10 now and yet to BD this cycle. DH has 1 more night shift tonight then is off for 4 days so hoping to BD most days! I bloody hate the way his shifts fall when I am due to O every single month. He doesn't particularly have any AL left until January now and I refuse to look so far in advance at my cycle - I hope to be pregnant by then! His lack of enthusiasm to BD (tired, just got off nights, not in the mood, you're being too clinical) is REALLY starting to grate on my nerves and certainly for the first couple of cycles I know full well that he was avoiding BD'ing during ovulation on purpose. Though now seems slightly better about it but really hates being told when he should and shouldn't be ready to BD. His lack of sex drive really really irritates me.

Bellydreams, yay!! I freaked out when I ovulated my first cycle off of the pill lol. I'm pretty sure my husband thought I was crazy!

Danielle, boobs were my first sign! It was more that they were really tender but it started really early. I did have a little reflux when I burped, only once or twice yesterday (12DPO). Fingers crossed for you, it all sounds good!

Nic, how are you today?

3ggo, thanks! How have you been?

acs, I love it! I think it is so awesome when husbands are involved. It made waiting a lot easier for me because he was all excited too. Good luck this month!

Tulip, you may have ovulated later than what FF currently says. If you ovulated when it says right now, your chart is starting to look similar to mine. I had a jump around 7DPO and it stayed up there, which made my chart triphasic I hope that's the case, because it is a good sign!

Toni, I love pregnancy dreams Fingers crossed for you that you get a BFP in a couple weeks!

Medipea, I didn't start feeling anything till 5DPO, but it was in the evening. That is when my boobs started feeling sore and it has lasted throughout. My chart went triphasic around 7DPO and that is also when I became really tired all the time. I hope this is the start of a very exciting month for you!

Noo, I'm sorry! I am glad your husband has time off soon! I don't know if you've tried this already, but maybe set the mood for sex without mentioning TTC? Is he like that all throughout your cycle with sex, or does he just seem to want more control when he knows you are fertile?

I want to jump in here and comment on a few of these...

First of all, Breadsticks, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So exciting!

Nic, I've been reading your story and I agree: How are you? What a difficult thing to be going through right now

Noo, was it like this before you starting TCCing or has it been harder for him now with the increased pressure? I agree again with Breadsticks (Hey, smart girl!), that you should try to take the "baby factor" out of the picture. See if you can have a mini-date, even if its just sitting down to eat dinner or watch a movie. Try to make it fun, instead of a job. Sorry you're going through this

 

[sunshine85]

thanks nic! I am here for ya too! I will be testing Oct 30 or Nov 5th! Hoping for a BFP! If not, November is another month of fun work!

 

[wantababybad2]

Noo, I'm sorry that he's makin u feel that way.

Medipea, hubby does that to me too. I said somethin to him (I don't quite remember wat i said I never do...lol) and his response was somethin like well u wont have to worry about bein on af cuz ur pregnant. It was when I was goin by my phone app and would have ovulated on cd 20, but I know it was before that possibly cd 14 through 18...somewhere in there. Well anyways, we on cd 20, and he said that on like cd 22...lol. crazy men.

Nic, I really hope he tells u somethin soon so u two can at least get back to lovin each other!

Breadsticks, they do hurt, severely. lol. It seems that everytime they do it, my dogs think they r a walk way. I'm not small chested, very large. So, they r easy to get paws on and my 90 pound lab thinks he has to step on the poor things..lol. The burpin thing is drivin me nuts. It's like every time I burp it's very liquidy. I just burped, and now my throat is burnin. If I Oed durin cd 14 through 18, then I would be anywhere from 7 dpo to 11 dpo.

Is it possible to have like a 18 day luteal phase? Could that be normal? If I Oed on cd 14 and this cycle is 32 days, which I expect it to be longer, that would my luteal phase 18+ days. I also really think it could have been cd 18 because the next day was when my boobs started hurtin, I was bloated, and very gassy. This is so confusin...lol.

 

[Noo]

He has a pretty low sex drive all the time. If he could get away with it he'd be happy BD'ing 3 times a month or something though I've got a very high sex drive and could quite easily BD 4/5 times a week. I think he's definitely feeling the pressure of TTC as each time we've been pregnant before it's been by accident other than Coby where we NTNP. I think he figured I'd come off the Mirena, he'd do his bit a few times and bingo I'd be pregnant - Though think he seems to forget that my sex drive is even higher once I'm pregnant! Though when I'm pregnant he doesn't seem to mind - I'm wondering if it's psychological as he's had it drummed into him to use protection!

 

[Tink80]

Girls, I have some cramps and spotting and today is 6dpo. I never spot between periods and AF is not due until Nov. 3rd or 4th....I am really praying this is IB.

 

[babysaa]

Good luck tink80, sounds like a good sign! Sending you lots of hugs

Noo, That is really hard I think in general when couples have mix-matched sex drives it can be really hard. It's also interesting what you said about it being psychological. I wonder if there's a way to make it more "exciting' for him all of the time? Hmm. I dunno, but I would have a conversation (I'm sure you already have) with him about what you can do to help.

Sounds like me and Bradley r completely opposite from u 2...lol. I have a super low sex drive. I could go weeks without sex. Bradley is like a nimpho for lack of a better word..lol. a normal month for us is 2 or 3 times. This month though has been 8 or 9 times...lol. sometime I hate his sex drive though. It gets on my nerves. I just want him to leave me alone, but this month I know we want a positive so I had to compromise. Maybe u could try to set the mood. U know...lol. and ask him how he really feels about all of this. Take wat he tells u and use it to make things better. Ask him wat he would like from u. Maybe that will help u. I hope it gets better for u dear.

I am doing ok. I am totally counting myself out this month. DH and I have been fighting most of the week, so we did not do any BD. I have been stressed out with alot this things that I haven't been temping or doing OPK's. I think I O'ed sometime between Thursday and Friday though.

What I am wondering is if you can be preggo and not have or notice the implantation bleeding? anyone?

 

[wantababybad2]

U certainly can. I have never been pregnant, but I have done a lot of research. I found that not everyone will have IB, and it's perfectly normal not to.

 

[wantababybad2]

So, I have developed some new symptoms...lol. I have some left shoulder blade pain (possibly from a wreck about 8 or 9 years ago...idk). Every time I put somethin up to my mouth, I throw up in my mouth. I'll gag for a little bit. Then throw up a little. TMI....every time I sneeze or cough or anything I sort of wet myself. I have always done this, but it never happened all the time. Now it's every single time. I'm tryin to make myself say I'm just sick. Ur crazy Danielle...ur sick...lol. But there's just so much there. I don't want to test now because it could be too early. I don't really now.

 

[sunshine85]

Hmmm could be early symptoms, especially the throw up in mouth part..sorry your feeling icky honey, but hopefully it is for the greater good I don't feel any symptoms except light cramps...not the sore boobs i normally get right now since af is 10 days away...

I have 5 sons and never once had ib
