Our journeys to baby #2

[FTale]

Hi All

Getting back from vacation.

Sorry to hear AF got you mummmyduck, it go me while on vacation as well.

I'm on CD 10 feeling twinges of Ovulation coming but have not bd at all. I don't know if I want to try this cycle.

I'm totally unmedicated too. I know this means I'll probably get my cycle early (10 or 11 dpo) but I think my body needs a real rest. TTC has become an addiction since not being able to get pregnant as fast as I thought.

Well, I'm gonna nap then get to some chores.

FX to those of you waiting to test

 

[Huggles]

Welcome back FTale. I hope you had a great holiday.
Sometimes a rest is very necessary, not just physically but mentally too.

AFM - I'm on 9dpo (assuming I did ov on CD13 like I originally thought).
I'm in two minds about testing this weekend (aiming for sunday), or waiting until next wed when af is due. I really want to know but am really nervous for a bfn. Argh, I hate this waiting and wondering.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Hi ftale, so sorry af got you and on vacation too. I'm finding it really tough this time especially having my hopes raised with a very late af.

Huggles, I understand the nerves about a bfn, test whenever you're ready.

Feeling pretty awful today, have a pms migraine and also wondering where we go from here, a year of trying and nothing to show for it. I know I'll pick myself up but on these days I wonder how I'll keep trying.

 

[FTale]

Huggles: I've been taking it super easy. Normally I'd be chasing my husband around for some action but nope. If he wants to have a go at it, he'll let me know. I hate making him feel like a sperm machine. He has been really busy with work too.

9dpo...oh, so close to finding out. Anytime after tomorrow should give you some sort of line if its a sensitive test. I totally get wanting to wait but wanting to know as well. FX its bfp whenever you do test.

FX: Same here. Been over a year and so tired. It's like, 'now what', after doing acrobats it seems to only get a stupid bfn. My same came and went super fast and I wasn't in any pain. Even got to jump in the pool and hang out with my family.
The stress and depression of not getting pregnant another cycle is 'real'. I hope you feel better in a few days and get back on the horse again. I usually feel super sad around 12dpo when I've tested a million times and still no bfp. By 15dpo when I start spotting, I get better and start to look forward to a new cycle.

Are you taking any supplements?

Disney: Hey girly? How are you today?

 

[fxmummyduck]

Thanks for your kind words ftale, I'm sorry you know what it's like but I think that's how we support each other, we see each other feel the same things but still carry on.

I still only have the mildest of brown spotting, not enough to even really wear a liner. I have shooting pains in my right hip/side and left boob. Really tired, migraine headache and nausea but still testing bfns. At what point do I see a Doctor? I'm starting to worry I'm not really ovulating and have cysts or something. I've not had a cycle this long since I had my ds.

 

[FTale]

FX: Sounds like the witch is finally showing up. A week late can be normal. My cycle adjusts by a week every year around Jan and then again around mid year.

Yet, it sounds like your hormones are trying really hard to kick start your flow, which may mean you need balancing out.

I am taking fertiliaid. I don' t know what it does but will keep taking it until AF shows. I'm hoping my cycle is 28 days long on it. I've read some have super long cycles on it. I'm curious to see if I ovulate without any Clomid or Soy too.

I read online that a tsp of parsley and warm water (8oz) or rosemary will bring on you period. I tried one cup of it and started spotting then a light flow less than 12 hours later. I was a day late at this point so my body was ready. I saw others did it 2 or 3 times a day for 3 days to start their periods early or on time in order to avoid long cycles.

Ok, I'm just rambling. I hope AF kicks in then goes away some time soon. HUGS

 

[fxmummyduck]

Af finally showed up this morning, I'm actually glad it's finally here, it's worse staring at bfns but with no af you can't start thinking about the next cycle and trying again. I'd run out of Epo so I might get some more of that and just some multivitamins. I couldn't carry overseas all my others!!! Ha ha!

 

[Huggles]

Glad AF finally showed up for you mummyduck.
Stopping epo very suddenly can definitely mess up your cycles. I ran out last year just as I got very ill with flu so couldn't get more. AF landed up 2 weeks late and I had the WORST case of pms. Felt like I could just about murder someone.
This time around I weaned off more gradually and so far so good.

 

[FTale]

Huggles: Did you decide if you will test tomorrow? I logged on quick in case you had bfp news....lol..I'm such a test pusher. (take your time)

FX: I'm happy it showed up finally. What a relief!! When you do you travel back home?

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Huggles]

Just tested. 11dpo (I think) with FMU. Very much a bfn
I know there's still time and I might not be totally Out yet, but not feeling all that confident any more.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Thanks huggles and ftale, bit embarrassed I had a cry on my mil this morning asking her for some painkillers, I hope dh doesn't mind she knows...not traveling back until 17th August so hope it's not awkward iykwim!!!

Sorry you're not feeling confident anymore but you're definitely not out yet, fingers crossed for you.

 

[FTale]

Rats I posted to both of you but the site chomped them up.

FX: HUGs I think sharing with her will bring you two closer. No shame in being real.

Huggles: What test did you use? I'm so sorry it was bfn. 11dp is still early indeed. FX you get a bfp here soon. I know the waiting is torture.


I am officially in the tww for all its worth. Should be testing on the 16th at 14dpo. The only thing I feel is the usual sensitivity underneath bbs after ovulating. I didn't temp at all because I didn't really go to sleep last night due to heartburn. So the wait begins.

It was a very sensitive poas type. Not an ic.

Hugs ladies, I keep hoping we'll get or bfps, af got me inn the 1st, I've been in a low place, 4yrs ago I found out I was pregnant with ds so seeing af on that day was a huge kick in the teeth, I knew our late bd wouldn't have had much hope, I'm still peeved at such an early ovulation compared to my norm. Dentist appt is too close to when i could ovulate so I'll test with opks and still temp but if I ovulate before the 21st I can't really do much bd'ing, I'm way too nervous about xrays and ttc. They moved DS kidney check to next month so I'm kind of a anxiety mess over here, I was hoping we'd get suringe relief and possibly be closer to him being discharged from the specialist's care...

Anyway I am so sorry af got you too mummyduck, there's still time to get a bfp huggles, ftale fx for a nice bfp!

 

[Huggles]

So sorry the witch got you disneylovers

 

[FTale]

Disney: HUGS I'm so sorry. It hurts HUGS You have so much going on this up coming cycle. I pray you don't stress. Its make your O come late every time (we know each other too well hugs ). I'd just bd every other day starting CD11 no matter what. If you O before Xray date, then don't do appt.. Hoepefully you O after your appt.

Huggles: Sorry about that test.


Nothing going on with me. Just my body doing its usual thing without Clomid help.

 

[lucy_smith]

can i come and join you guys ?

been ttc since oct/nov 2015

currently waiting on a 6 month list to see a fertility specialist

dr makes me feel like im making a scene and that i will fall pregnant again, ( even though i have endo and she hasnt done any tests except the 21 day test) and said that i should be greatful for my dd and she has people coming to see her that dont have any children!!! i felt awful, i burst into tears at work as it was a phone consultation!

im finding it harder this time round, dd took best part of 2 years to concieve. but this time it isnt just about me wanting a baby, its about my dd having a sibling/friend!
she loves babies and everytime she sees one her heart melts and she just cuddles and kisses them!

also im 25, which makes people think im exagerating as a have plenty of fertile years yet!

anyway, sorry to rant!!! haha

just looking for people in a similar situation

 

[Huggles]

Welcome Lucy. So sorry the doctor was so horrible to you

 

[FTale]

Welcome Lucy

Happy to have you join us. Don't you just love the doctors that don't seem to get the pain WE feel?
I'm hoping you get a miracle rainbow baby and don't need to see the specialist. HUGS

 

[lucy_smith]
