October Sticky Beans!

[MsRipple]

Krissie I would go with earlier O date. ****HUGS*****

Cupcake those tests look strong!

 

[Blackrain90]

Sorry Krissie
Cletus hopefully AF makes up her mind one way or another.
Todmommy, can I just say your timing looks great!! Both times I conceived were BD the day before and day of O.
Cupcake I'm loving your lines!
Angel the dollar store cheapies are such a good idea!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks Black! I must say I am having fun looking at my chart with that BD'ing schedule I was so determined to stick with SMEP perfectly this month and it worked out even better than I could have hoped with O coming early.

Did you guys notice that our thread got moved into TTC Groups and Discussions? I just realized because I had posted and then hit the TWW and TTC boards and didn't see it so I went looking. I always get to it from my subscriptions so never noticed. But we are officially a group now, I somehow find comfort in that

It's only 7:45 here and my morning has already been so scary

This morning when i went to the bathroom, i had some brown spotting when wiping it was only when wiping and now there's maybe like a tiny tinge of brown if anything.

I know spotting in early pregnancy can be completely normal as everything down there is growing, stretching and blood flow is increased so a lot of the time it's really nothing to worry about.

But I do worry i really really hope my little babycake is going to stay and keep being baked
So.. fingers crossed this morning's spotting is done and won't increase and won't come come back :/

 

[todmommy4568]

Prayers cupcake!

 

[mrscletus]

Hoping everything is ok cupcake... Prayers to you and your little bean!

 

[Blackrain90]

Fingers crossed cupcake!! Both pregnancies I had a bit of brown spotting between weeks 5-8, hopefully it's just the old implantation blood.

 

[cupcake.]

Thanks so much

The spotting has been gone for a couple of hours now. I'm not having any cramps either, so that is good.

I just hope that was it, just a bit of old blood maybe from implantation or something making its way down. It's so worrying though seeing blood

Please babycake, stay put and don't scare me like that again!

 

[krissie328]

Hopefully it is nothing cupcake!! Like you said it is very common.

 

[MsRipple]

Sounds like you don't have anything to worry about Cupcake (though of course, I understand why you are worried!)

I got a surprise somewhat early smiley on my advanced OPK (no blinking this cycle). Hoping I can get home and make some magic happen tonight !

 

[mrscletus]

Good luck catching that egg ripple!

 

[cupcake.]

Thanks ripple and good luck catching the egg

 

[krissie328]

Good luck MsRipple!

It's officially day 1... Going to switch up our diet some, cut out caffeine for the DH.. Any other tips for some increased sperm mobility or count?

 

[cupcake.]

Cletus, sorry to hear that

I'm not 100% sure but from what i've read caffeine is actually good for male fertility as long as it's not too much.

Have you tried preseed? Maybe that'll help get them up and them staying alive longer? I've heard a lot of women swear on using soft cups to keep the swimmers up there.. maybe worth a try?

Afm, the spotting is still gone so i'm being hopeful that maybe it was just a one off thing.

 

[krissie328]

My husband has low motility.. The times I have got pregnant he has been drinking tons of caffeine. Like a couple cups of coffee and 2-3 monsters a day!! I swear that and clomid are our magic "pills." I know the monsters also have a ton of things that are good like l-carnitine and inositol.

I would also second the preseed if you haven't used it before. It is great!! DH and I used it on the cycle I got pregnant with DS.

 

[todmommy4568]

Yay good luck ripple!!!!

So sorry Cletus

I'm worried with my temp this morning I feel like my temps should just keep climbing and that's not what happened today and that temp was taken a half hour late so probably was even a little lower. I had horrible O pains on the evening of my positive OPK though so you would think I did O right?

 

[cupcake.]

I've had cycles where after the initial temp jump my temps either leveled and then rose again or even sunk a bit an then got higher again around 4dpo.
This lucky cycle was actually like that as long as the temps as a whole are higher than before i think it's save to say you did ovulate

 

[mrscletus]

I will definitely pick up some preseed.. I can get it at the drug store right..

Tod I wouldn't worry too much about one temp.. See what tomorrow brings.
