Smiler! I'm doing ok, no sign. Boobs are a little tender and SO heavy and nipples are immensely sore. Very white milky discharge but not any cramps or anything. I'm bang on a 25 day cycle, this is the 26th day. I've got my fingers crossed but I'm starting to talk myself into irregular periods. It's a pain in the bum waiting for AF to show it's face or not. How are you doing?

babybemine sorry hugs hon xxxxx
u r def more fertile now hon, fx for this cycle xxxxxxx

smiler , i felt the same . ihad nausea first time preg but no where near the same as this time xxx i took it as a great sign xx
my bump came out way earlier, it just depends on body shape and position fo bub and evverything i looked bumpy for last 2 moths ish, and i have a pretty big one now
yeah ur right i should look at more courses but i dont knwo if i can afford um
i have a loan and some saving as security but 2/3 of loan is paid so i went in today to ask if i can free up some of the savings. they said they wil get back to me
so il see when they let me know
im ok again, i decided i was gonna stop being a big baby and enjoy my time off and my bub xxx remind me of this next time i moan ha ha

i got a scan today, i was so hyper all day after it
alls good thank god . i have a friend who works in scan place but when iwent in today ,
my friend was on a days hols!!!!
but the woman i asked was she in , took pity on me,
i told her what happened at xmas , with possibly losing some mucus plug,
she said il have a word but i cant guarantee they will see u,
she came back and they could see me, (theymust have had someone cancel or something) i was so happy.
it was so nice of them , delighted
scan person said she couldnt see properly yet if boy or girl ,
but im kinda glad cos i think its better if Oh and me find out together next scan,
only 3 weeks left now hoping we can find out that day
i or rather my mom bought bubs baby changer/bath. i was so happy goin in to get it,
id say people in shop thought i was a bit crazy i was so excited buying it ha ha
i went for my physio too, she was the nicest woman. we had a class first on dos and donts and then one on one physio.
she mangled me for a little bit but i know il feel benefit for next while
i have to wear tuby support bandage for the next month and then go back in a month to see how im gettin on. she said they will give me brace in a months time .
but its all good, they r helping me so il be grand

Hey Ladies,

I've tried to catch up on everything that has been going on, but sorry if I have missed something!

Liles Mom, I don't blame you for being hyper, it must be so nice to be this close to meeting your bubba and all the other little things that go along with it like buying furniture - it's getting more and more real! I'm glad to hear you're doing well and getting the treatment you need xx xx

Babybemine, I'm sorry that AF showed up, but I'm also glad you're so positive! It is so nice to feel that fresh new start feeling at the beginning of a cycle isn't it? Good Luck!! xx

Katy, I have everything crossed for you!! If I were you I'd have poas a long time ago Your symptoms sound promising, let us know how you get on. xx

Smiler, I am sorry that you've got nausea hanging over you, but I'm sure it's reassuring for you Keep resting, your body is so busy right now, make sure you give it what it needs!

Hopeful, it's awesome that you're getting a bump now, enjoy and flaunt it

As for me, I'm on cd15, hoping to OV in the next week. Seeing small amounts of ewcm in the morning only, which is weird for me. It's been like 5 days now?! I'm hoping this is a good sign for this cycle. Let's hope it sticks around for OV too!

I bought a stash of preconception vitamins for us both, but we've been pretty pants at taking them, what with not being at home or in a normal routine for 2 weeks now.

HAPPY 2013 TO YOU ALL! Has anyone made any resolutions or goals for the coming year? I'd really like to overhaul my eating patterns. They have become pretty unhealthy since I got married and I'd like to eat healthily again. And with proper portion sizes instead of giganto portions!

Anyhoo, I'm back now, so be prepared to hear from me more often again :b

Take Care and Good Luck Ladies xx

 

[lilesMom]

hi discoria welcome back, xx
happy 2013 to u too xxxx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

DiscoRia, thankyou! I'm hoping it could all be good signs.

Ah still no sign of AF yet, I'm starting to talk myself into late ovulation but I'm got weird pinching/stitch like feelings on the right side of my womb and my boobs are like balloons. Sorry! But they are. Hope everyone is ok!

 

[lilesMom]

dont be sorry katy, i have put up posts on way wrse stuff than my boobs ha ha xxxxx
fx for u sweetie, looking good xxxxxxxxx

i had a great nt last nt, 5 of my friends form school and me went to my friends place and went out got home at 3 am, we had such a good catch up and laugh. was great

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Still no AF! Keep having major doubts still though. Should I be?

 

[lilesMom]

i would so test hon, u cant know til u test xxxxx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

I'm so nervous though. Incredibly nervous! I know I have to but I'm so nervous!

Hi Ladies

sorry for my absence again! Feels like I've not been on here for ages - spending most of my time either in bed, dozing on the sofa or hugging the toilet bowl

Katy - TEST! Do you know how many dpo you are?

Lilesmom - did I totally miss a post over xmas about losing your mucus plug?? What happened? I'm so glad the scan showed everything was ok, did they say if the plug would reform or something? And how come you need physio, have you got a bad back? I hope the treatments sort you out My lower back has really been starting to play up. I was seeing a chiropractor before I got pg but not been back since. I know it is ok for me to go whilst pg but I kind of want to wait til we get the ok at the 12 week scan before I do anything.

Discoria - nice to have you back! Glad you had a good time over xmas. I definitely recommend taking the pre natal vitamins. I really think having DH take them did the trick for us. We started them the same time as I started clomid and only took 3 months for us to fall pg. They say sperm takes 3 months to form, so I really think him taking the vits improved the health of his swimmers

Belated Happy New Year to you all! Hope 2013 is a great year for all of us xxx

^yep^

 

[DiscoRia]

Katy, I agree, test, test, test!

Today is my 2nd positive OPK, so should be OVing today or tomorrow. Will be dtd tonight and tomorrow even though I'm not 100% (again, ugh!) and just want to sleep, sleep, sleep.

I have had loads of cervical mucus this cycle, so I'm hoping it's a GOOD SIGN

I hate the tww and it's barely even started for me. I am going to have to find some fun projects to do to occupy myself in these coming weeks. Feeling positive though, so keeping my fingers crossed xx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

I'm around 17 dpo, a lot of lower abdomen pain and sore boobs. I'm going to see out the 30 day cycle mark and then test. I've never taken notice of my AF, as I've had no need to. So I'm going to test Wednesday night. That'll be a 31 day cycle then!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh Discoria sorry to hear you're not feeling 100%. Hope you get better soon! But great that you got 2 +OPKs and the increased cm is a great sign My 2wws really started to drag once I was on clomid, def agree getting some projects etc lined up to keep your mind occupied is a good idea. Got everything crossed for you this cycle.

Katy - wow 17 dpo! You could def test now if you wanted, though understand not wanting to get hopes up etc. Weds is not that far away though, good luck

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Smiler, that's why I think I'll wait a little longer. If it's a negative I'll wait a little longer and pop to the doctors. I hope I am just trying to keep a balanced mind! Xx

 

[lilesMom]

hi smiler so sorry ur so sick xxxxxx hope u feel better soon xxxxxxx
i have a bad back for yrs babe, i fell in work about 6 yrs ago and have back trouble since, i used to go for physio and chiropracter and stuff before but my physio said that it wil never be fixed just managed hated it at the time but used to it now
went private for awhile but first physio was right after all
but im gla dthey r sending me now cos it would get worse with bump otherwise.
the prolactin can cause back trouble in people or worsen it if u have it already .
yeah im not sure about goin before 12 weeks, i didnt do much before 12 weeks due to fear xxx
i cant remember if i put on here about mucus plug or not, maybe i forgot
or maybe its cos its pma , not sure.
i had some (tmi) new weird mucus, it was clear but it was stringy and gloopy ,i knew it was weird so i rang doc office and nurse said i needed to be checked and it sounded like mucus plug . so i went in and doc said its normal and fine. but the nurse in my docs office is brilliant, she knows so much.... so i was a little freaked cos she thought it was to worry about. doc said so long as not pink or brown and ur not leaking fluid its fine.
but i wanted peace of mind of a scan.
we hadnt bd very often cos i was a bit afraid , but it seems to happen very time we bd.
internet is very divided , come say normal and regenerates and some say they lost bubs after , so u can imagine i was a bit worried but alls ok thank god .
it put me off bd though a bit

disco ria fx for u sweetie, xxx
happy bding



im a dumping ground for food last few days adn im wrecked, off to bed early tonight me thinks

 

[mommylov]

Hi Ladies! I havent been in here for a LONG time but figured I really needed some PMA! I see some of you are expecting (Congrats!!!) and some are still waiting for thier perfect lo to come. I am currently in the begining of a tww. Just a recap since I last wrote here... I fell pregnant back in the end of Oct with #2. Long story short, old dr didnt believe me which, ended up in ER which confirmed pregnancy and made me switch drs. New dr said my progesterone was lo and put me on it asap but it was too late. I mc at about 5 wks New dr did some tests and found out I had a genetic mutation (MTHFR) so put me on rx prenantals, baby asprin, and extra folic acid. Had an HSG and although they didnt see the dye go into one of my tubes, they said that all was still ok and now Im in the begining of my TWW. I hipe you all had a great holiday and new years eve and hope that 2013 brings us all the healthy babues we so ache for!

 

[Smiler82]

mommylov!

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your second loss And also sorry to hear about the MTHFR...I don't really know what that is but at least you now have a diagnosis and you've been put on some kind of treatment. This pregnancy I have self-prescribed a low dose aspirin....not sure what my doc is going to say, I'll prob get told off. But I read it can help and can't hurt so I thought why not. How long are you going to take it for?

Lilesmom, speaking of aspirin, did your sister tell you how long she stayed on it?

Anyway mommylov I'm sending you lots of positive vibes and hope that this 2ww is your lucky one

Lilesmom that must've been pretty scary when you thought you were losing your plug Maybe it was a combination of your cm and OH's semen?? I don't know about you but I am having so much cm this pregnancy it's a bit yucky

Discoria do you know if you're in the 2ww yet?

Katy good luck for testing tomorrow

AFM am feeling quite well today which is nice I had TWO packets of crisps. TWO! So bad!
