Plus Size & TTC. Who's With Me?

[ExpectingTC]

Not much to report. I'm 2dpo and feel like I'm coming down with something. I'm all stuffy. Delightful. DH and I are going to a wedding this weekend and making a mini vacay out of it since it isn't local (about 2 hours away). It should be nice to party and not think about this damn TWW!

Bookwrmgal - Welcome!

CC - I figured I already obsess, so why not add to the nutjob factor of it all? But hey - maybe you might not need to! FX!!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Expecting- LOL So true, I already obsess a bit too. I'm trying really hard not to get to hopeful for this cycle. Should see AF by Saturday or Sunday so I'm trying to just keep trucking along! Nipples aren't as sore today but had some slight cramping, that is gone now. so not sure what's going one. *shrug*

Yay for weddings and mini vaca's! Definitely good for you both to get some non-baby focused time together

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Thanks for the welcome everyone

BHG - so glad to meet a fellow CT gal

Some good news for me- yesterday the OPK gave a smiley face and my temp is spiked this morning- at CD 15 when normally I am at CD 19 for O- guess the new supplements are extending my LP.

The only downside is that I got home way after DH went to sleep last night so we didn't BD. We did the night before and will be tonight- come hell or high water!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Well ladies AF just showed up this morning. booo!

 

[ashntony]

AF is late.... Well sadly am putting the breaks on TTC..... I can't deal with the pain and dissapointment every month.... I am sick of always feeling so lost and depressed.... So good luck to all of you ladies and I hope you reach your goal soon!! As for me on the 25thI begin some doc appt. and hopefully they can find
an answer.
Edit!
AF came yesterday! Had a 37 day cycle. So I lost 3 days...

Bummer, Charlie.

I'm 7dpo and still hoping for my miracle. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but feeling very optimistic. I'm cramping only on my right side, which is weird for me - and my boobs have been extremely sore since 4dpo, which only ever happens the day of Ovulation for me.

 

[Mrs.LCS]

Tc..I cramped only on right side too and I'm 11 weeks almost..

 

[ExpectingTC]

LCS - EEEEEeee! That definitely gives me hope. My temp is staying high and well above the cover line - today is the highest its been, actually. My LP is typically 10-11 days and I'm 7dpo. I might test tomorrow morning.

I know your chart went Triphasic. At what point did that happen?

And yayyyy!!! Almost 11 weeks!!!

[Mrs.LCS]

not working! well, anyhow.. what tipped me off was I had a clear dip and rise in temp (implant dip) then I had a few days of flat temps.. I've never ever had that in my 15 months of charting.. then followed by a huge spike at 13 dpo..
some women can find out as soon as 7dpo..but most do after 12. Even at 13 it was very faint for me..
Some of the things I noticed first (as a woman with pcos):
1. implant dip
2. flat temps then huge rise
3. cramping/pressure on right side only centralized in one spot, and pretty constant
4. needy and whiny/bitchy to DH
5. very thirsty
6. constant cm, white creamy (still to this day, I have it every day)
7. sore boobs still to this day

that's about it, hope it helps some of you.. i'm living proof it WILL happen.. My Specialist said I would probably not get pregnant on my own.. after months of IUI's, clomid, hcg injections, metformin.. I conceived the cycle we took a break. We had sex, but didn't time it and I got up right away to shower instead of the usual routines.. We were not on clomid..just Metformin for my insulin resistance. We were trying after a loss since January 2013.

[Mrs.LCS]

how long is your LP usually?

 

[Mrs.LCS]

we'll see if it goes up tomorrow..

 

[ExpectingTC]

I'm usually a 10-11 day LP.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks for the information mrs LCS.

Expecting, I'm keeping my FXD for you!

 

[ExpectingTC]

Horrible insomnia last night, which is my tell tale sign AF will be visiting in two or three days. Feeling more and more like I'm out. Ugh. No temp spike, just holding steady. Still cramping on my right side, but now my lower back is having light cramping, too. On top of it all, now I've got a sore throat - oh joy... I'm sure the witch will show her face soon enough.

So discouraging.

 

[Mrs.LCS]

I had a bad cold too around implant time or a few days later.. just sayin...

 

[ExpectingTC]

Hoping you're right, Lauren. Not cramping as much and now I'm nauseous. Very strange... only time shall tell.
