BD on cd 5 and 10
CD 14 I was positive on OPK BD on that day and the next. No BD since then. Been working alot saving up for our new house and DH has been sick.
Hoping it was enough BD for us.
DPO 5 right now. Felt flushed yesterday and had low grade temp 99 degrees. Been thirsty alot. BB's slightly tender and a little gassy. Other then that no real symptoms. Just waiting the tww out and remaining hopeful.

If no BFP then at least we have Femera to look forward to this next cycle.

Hi Ladies

haven't been on for a few days, sorry for the massive post but here is me catching up with everyone's news

Thank you so much. That's very sweet. I know thus too shall past but I guess this is all happening at the worst time. My edd fir my first lo was 2/13/13 I'm hoping the clomid works and everything goes smooth. From what I've been reading it helps with the size if eggs. Since I ovulate just find on my own I'm hoping it will help me get a sticky bean.

Hope you all have a good weekend

mommylov I am kind of surprised they are saying clomid already, and you don't have any ovulation problems? However I know clomid is the 'go to' drug for people with unexplained infertility so it's not totally unusual. But yes you're right, it can help to improve the quality of the egg. What it also does is help with progesterone levels after ovulation. This is obviously good for a fertilized egg, but just be warned that it leads to more symptoms during the 2WW - on my first round of clomid I was convinced I was preg because of all the symptoms, but I wasn't. So disappointing! Also many ladies on here have found that it can increase their LP by a few days - this didn't happen to me but there is a chance it could happen so just be aware that it can be slightly harder to know exactly when AF is due. I just hope it does the trick for you. When will you be starting it?

Discoria I can see you're reading the thread How are you? What news? xx

Hello Ladies, Smiler is right, when I have some spare minutes, I come and check for updates on my phone, but I HATE writing replies from there, so have been silent

My update will come shortly... xx

Tee hee sorry I'm exactly the same - I often check the threads on my phone in bed, then think "I'll reply tomorrow" and then I forget Tis a pain typing on the little screens

...As for me, AF is just settling in.

Oh hun I'm so sorry is AF definitely here now? You are so strong to be able to look at this in a more objective way and be reasonable about how many chances you've really had over the last few months. I know it is still crappy that you're not pregnant though and we all understand your frustration. The last 2 years having no BFP in that time also made me think it would never ever happen again, I just could not visualise it at all. I know it sounds silly but it was part of the reason I decided to do OPKs because I just wanted to see two pink lines on something!!!!

Have you thought any more about going to the doctor? I know you talked about it before but you weren't sure if it was too soon. But yeah I think taking a break is a good idea if that's what you feel you need to do. We took a break early in 2012 and whilst I really didn't want to, within a week or so of not temping, not stressing, I did feel more relaxed. I found it helped to plan things to do in that time, stuff that I wanted to do just for the fun of it. It really helped to get my strength back and plough on with the ttc once the break was over.

But you never know this anniversary cycle could be the one I do hope so. But either way I hope you guys really enjoy yourselves, have you got any plans?

Hey all,

Just a quick hi to let you know all good with me . Had my 20week scan -all great. We didn't find out the sex-having a surprise in June which will be nice.


Smiler how are you?? How many weeks now? Thinking about you honey lots!!!!!! Crossing everything!!!!!! Katy how you doing? Any symptoms??

Lilesmom all good? 20(ish) week scan soon-it's lovely. My lo wriggled but was so well behaved-thought it would be longer than 12w scan as that's what we were told to expect but in all right positions do v quick!! Wonderful though! Cannot wait for June!!! Think I've just started to feel baby move in last few days

Baby dust and big big hugs to all x x x x

Ps

Hey hopeful! That's so great all is looking well It sounds like it was a really great experience What is your EDD?

Thank you for your kind thoughts!! I am 10 weeks today. We are right in the 'danger zone' now so hard not to be nervous, but I think I'm doing an OK job of keeping a lid on it. We've got a private scan booked for 10:30am on Thursday so really excited to see the baby again but also a tiny bit terrified in case it's bad news :/

lilesmom,smiler,hopeful,discoria,mommylove,babybemine..

i just wanted to say that i draw a lot of strength from u all & all d ladies on this forum....

n i pray that all of us get our little miracle soon..

big hugs to all..

withlovemom I'm glad you find the forum helpful. This thread in particular has really helped me to keep going I don't know what I would've done without these lovely ladies I know it's hard to keep the PMA going but we're all here to step in on the days you can't manage it

hopeful thats great , alls well
mine is on thurs , even though i be closer to 22 weeks,
its nearly here anyway, first appointment im excited more than nervous for
i porb be nervous nt before but i dont feel the dread this time
i can feel him/her movin away but only a few times a day, bub seems to sleep lots, may be good sign for when bub is born , ha ha xxxxxx glad alls well with u sweetie xxxxx

withlovemom , aw thanks hon xxxx
u too. ye all have been a great support to me as well xxxxxx
hugs and to u hon xxxxx
hows all with u? xxx

hi and hugs to all

im so much better today , had a bit of a cranky day yest, im blaming hormones
hee hee
i walked for 2 x 1 hr yest , im keeping up my fruit and veg , the iron and thyroid tablets have kicked in, so i feel way better again thank god, its great

So great to hear you're feeling better Lilesmom! I think we're all allowed a cranky day every now and again You are so good with all your exercise, I'm totally rubbish. Some days I just walk to the local shop and back. Other days I go all the way into town but when I get home I'm shattered and have to sleep!

Ah that's so exciting you and hopeful are feeling your babies move around now I think I heard that the baby tends to sleep when you're moving around because the motion sends them to sleep?

What time is your scan on Thurs?

BD on cd 5 and 10
CD 14 I was positive on OPK BD on that day and the next. No BD since then. Been working alot saving up for our new house and DH has been sick.

[lilesMom]

babybemine, sounds like u got it covered hon xxxxx
u bd on all the right days so fx for u sweetie xxxxxx

smiler that was a good post very thorough
my app is at 9.45, some of my sis and stuff saying i might not get a scan at this one.

i thought i would automatically but my niece has 4 month old and she said they give u an option whether to have a scan, im not to proud to beg for one if needs be , haha
im a little bit weird today, just found out my mom has skin cancer.
i know it is the most easily treated one and im sure she will be ok but its worrysome at same time. my dad had it yrs ago and is flying ever since they took it out .
so im gonna push it to back of my mind til we know more about it .
i have to go to the dc now for my notes and we have the same doc so i might ask them if they have anymore info from the biopsy. does it just tell u u have skin cancer or can it tell u how deep its gone, im not sure so il try and ask um. xxxxx
im just thinking out loud here, dont mind me
it helps to actually type it and reason it out a little xxxxxxxx
i have a stong feeling she will be fine but cant help wavering a little xx

love and hugs to all. xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Oh Lilesmom I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, what a shock that must have been Hopefully she will make as great a recovery as your dad, and hope the doc can answer your q's to help put your mind at ease a little xxx Of course it's going to be hard for you to be 100% certain she is going to be ok, it is a very uncertain time. Just get any worries off your chest here won't you sweetie xx

 

[lilesMom]

thanks smiler,
i talked to the doc , she has out of 3 tyes of skin cancer she has the medium one,
its not life threatening as it is but can move so needs to be taken out.
i am 95% sure she will be fine
i came home to find a letter from work saying htey want me to go to work doc tomor,
our place is covered in snow and ice and it is an hours drive away, its at 3 pm though so if roads r ok il go, way to give me lots of notice, less than 24 hrs oh well.
i think its just a formality , anyone who is out over a certain length of time gets sent. but i still hate goin. if roads are bad they can just reschedule me

hi and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if roads r too bad they can f-off till they get better

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Hiya all! Sorry, been off the radar for a while. Things are going ok! Still a nervous wreck. Could anyone help me out, I'm now 6 odd weeks pregnant and I'm worried, again! Up until this week, after sex I had cramping, nothing too bad and it went after a few minutes. But at 6w+1d, no sign of cramping after sex at all!? Is this ok? Or is it not good?! Pleeeeassssee someone help.

Hope you're all doing well!!!!! xx

 

[lilesMom]

hi katy , thats notmal hon, ive had crampy feeling on and off, it can go for weeks and come back when bub grows again., im pretty sure its just uterus stretching ans changing , so maybe u are in ebtween bubs growth spurts
thats why i think it comes and goes for me anyway cos usually il have the crampy stretchy feelin for few days followed by bigger bump xxxx
dont worry about being worried, being worried is normal chick. xxxxxxxx
its just cos we really want everything to go ok for our Lo xxxxxxxx hugs

 

[lilesMom]

i went to work doc today anyway, it was just a red tape, filling in forms thing. i just told him what my doc said and he agreed again, it is a waste of his time and mine but i suppose they gotta do it., the main roads were good, my own little road has icy patches but not bad, i dont mind driving on snow usually but with bub in my tummy im more nervous of it xxxxxxx
hi , hugs and to all xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom I'm glad you got to work and back safely! Shame it was just all red tape but I suppose you've got to do it to keep your nose clean. I was also nervous going out on the road the other day because of being pregnant but luckily the main roads are fine, just getting in and out of our road is a little dodgy :/

How did your appointment go today Lilesmom? Did you get a scan in the end? We had ours this morning and it was just so cool. Baby's looking fine and he was wiggling around a bit, so cute We got to hear the heartbeat as well, which was brilliant. It was 165, which she said was great. She pointed out everything to me, we could see the cord and then she changed the screen so you could see the blood flow marked out, and she also checked the general area which was nice. I sometimes worry I could have a cyst or something because of all the aches and uncomfortableness, but ovaries were totally fine, all totally fine. PHEW. We got 3 photos and a DVD. So happy

The last couple of days I've been feeling pretty rough - I had a migraine on Tuesday, which I've never had before. It was so, so, so painful. I felt bad taking paracetamol but I just had to, I was in tears with the pain. Then yesterday I could barely eat I was feeling so sick but today it's all gone! It's so weird how everything comes and goes.

Katy - as Lilesmom says it's normal to cramp, it's normal to not cramp! It is just everything stretching and growing. Now I'm a little further along I'm finding my abdomen gets uncomfortable at times too, which I think is all the organs etc starting to be pushed up because of a bigger womb. So unfortunately it's just something we have to get used to! Are you having a scan anytime soon?

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

 

[mommylov]

Hi Smiler, I dont have any ovulation issues that I know of. The only thing that has been questioned is my progesterone which I guess could relate to the way I ovulate. My understanding is that they are having me do this to see if they can get a good size egg and thats where the clomid comes in. I take it the bigger the follicle, the bigger it will be and the more progesterone it will produce during the LP. I have my scan on tues to see what the follicles look like so I will find out!

Hope everyone is doing well

 

[lilesMom]

he guys smiler im so glad u had a great scan hurray, im only home now, im wrecked .
scan went great too , bub is growing away fine thank god
il do a proper post tomor, i just didnt want ye to think something was wrong if i didnt post back,
so glad all went well smiler xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

love and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[babybemine]

Achey cramping going on. Sore throat that comes and goes. Have not had much of the groin discomfort this cycle ....which nurse says probably occurs because of folicle and implantation etc.....hope since it is not the same as normal cycles.....it is a good sign.

 

[withlovemom]

hi ladies..
how is everyone doin??

I am getting really impatient..
Can anyone tell me how many days after OV the implantaton bleeding occurs??

I did not have any Implantation Bleeding last time as well..& I dont have any strong symptomps as such..I did nt have them last time as well..

For d last two three days, I am getting really tired by d end of d day.. feeling really sleepy..crash into d bed in no time..legs ache a lot....occassional cramps in lower back n either sides of lower belly.... but all this can also be due to my hectic work schedule.. so don't know if i should draw any conclusion..

The other thing is that i am still having milky white liquidy moist CM when i wipe..
(sorry tmi)..i generally feel dry after a couple of days after OV..but this time i m still feeling wet.. i am also feeling blotted and have a lot of gas.. has anybody else had this as a symptom??

i know i should not get my hopes up till i take a hpt..which i wil be doing after 4th Feb..( that is when i would get my AF if we hv missed this month's chances..i m trying to resist to test early..seeing a negative is going to be very hard..so wil try and wait.. )

Hope everyone is doing fine..

Hugs n prayers n babydust to all..

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks Lilesmom We were both on a high after the scan it was great. It's starting to feel real now, and I've watched the DVD about 10 times already! But it's funny because both DH and I now kind of feel even more scared because I guess seeing him/her now looking like a real baby I think we both fell in love with them and so now we feel like if something goes wrong again it's going to be even harder to deal with. I can't believe I didn't think of that before going for a scan! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a total nervous nellie or anything but I guess before, I was keeping a bit of an emotional distance in case something went wrong, and now I've let myself get totally wrapped up in it and feel so happy and excited, I don't know how I'll manage if something goes wrong :/

But yay for you Lilesmom glad everything is still looking peachy How many weeks are you now? I can't remember if you said you were going to find out the gender or not? Or will you find out and keep a secret? We've decided we will find out because DH really thinks its a girl and I really think it's a boy. I do like surprises, but I'm really getting attached to the idea of having a boy so it might be wise to find out so I can readjust before baby arrives if they turn out to be a girl

withlovemom - I'm not sure exactly but I know implantation itself can happen around 7-12 days after ovulation so I guess you would expect to see bleeding around that time also, or maybe even as late as 13 or 14 dpo if it takes a while for the blood to make its way out. I personally have never had it so I don't know. I don't want to get your hopes up at all but when I got pg this time I also noticed more CM when I would usually be dry. I didn't have any other symptoms though, just a couple of strange cramps and mild breast pain but that was it. Good luck hun I hope this is your cycle x

 

[lilesMom]

babybemine fx hon.

with lov mom, i was the same when i got my bfp this time, was bloated , gassy and tired from about 3 or 4 dpo, thought i was imagining it cos i wanted to be preg for a few days, cos i thought it was too soon for sypmptoms, fx for u honey.
impantation is 7-10 days after Ov so i would imagine implantation bleeding would be around same time but ive never got it so im not sure xxxx
i get the being impatient, tww is yucky xxxxxxxxxxx
fx for u sweetie xxxxxxxx

smiler i was the same hon, i was so focused on the scan that i forgot i might stil be nervous after it which i of course was but less so after the scan and with every week i put behind me xxxxxxxxxxx hugs xxxxx
i think we will have a bit of fear til we hold Lo and then we will fear for them in big bad world all part of being a paretn i guess xxxxxxxx
fx for everything to go great for ux xxxxx
whoops i thought i said already but looking back i didnt
we asked yest but bub was sideways, she said she thinks its a boy but she wouldnt be 100% sure and to double check next scan
but i couldeven see myself i think its a boy, unless it was the cord or something ha ha
so we wont know for sure til it comes out but its prob a boy
glad we found out
il be 22 weeks on sunday
the doc is putting me to the high risk clinic cos of my liver, just precaution to keep an eye on bub and me its fine , im glad they r looking after us

 

[Hopeful335]

Yey Lilesmom so exciting really pleased for you all went well! I'm literally only a week behind you-I thought I was more. I'm 21 today! A boy yey. I think I'm having a boy.

Smiler so so pleased your scan went well. That's how we felt after 12 weeks scan. Even though we had them at 6,8 and 10 it wasn't till 12 I got really attached I don't know. It's almost more nerve wracking then!

Withlovemom I never had implantation bleeding any time. To be truthful symptoms weren't massively did from normal cycle till I was like 18-20 days dpo when the main thing was more cm (sorry if tmi).

Hope everyone else is okay... Katy? Discoria? Mommyluv? Babybemine?

Big hugs and baby dust to all x x x

 

[lilesMom]

we r very close hopeful could easily have our bubs on same day
hope alls well with u hon xxxx

hi to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

im so peed off , m treadmil just gave up working, i had been so good on it, walking at least an hour a day, im gonna miss it sooo much.
im tryint o sort out a second hand one or something now. bummer.
oh well. could be worse

 

[Smiler82]

Hey ladies

aww Lilesmom a boy! Well, you think Hopeful did you find out the gender or do you just have a hunch you're having a boy? Obvs for me at the moment it is just a hunch and am getting really attached to the idea of having a mini DH running around But either way it will just be brilliant. I hope I'm not jinxing things but I am feeling more confident this time and we're just starting to let ourselves talk about the future with a baby in it. I'm 11 weeks today and just want the 12 week scan over and done with. Looking forward to seeing how much bigger bubs is tho. Still terrified to a certain degree that something is going to go wrong but it is nice to be enjoying it a bit more Yeah Lilesmom I'm sure when we're 80 we'll still be worrying about them!

Aww sorry the treadmill packed up!! Is there no way it can be repaired?? I have no idea who might be able to fix it but it's a shame to have to get rid. You are so good at your exercise. Once I get to 12 weeks I think I might join the NCT yoga class. I do have a gym membership but I'm going to cancel it as I've not been going. But they have a class for pregnant ladies and you can just pay on the door if you're not a member, so if I do those 2 things once a week and then maybe an exercise DVD at home for pregnancy that should hopefully keep me healthy.

How is everyone else? Any news withlovemom? You still around discoria? Hope you're ok xxx

 

[withlovemom]

Hey ladies..

How r u all doin??

Hopeful n lilesmom.. its so nice tht u both r so close in ur dates.... n how cool it would b if u have ur babies on d same day

Lilesmom..a baby boy is it? awww..thats soo sweet..
Hopeful..hv u found out abt it?? or u want to keep it a surprise??

Smiler..11 weeks already huh?? nice dear..
wish u good luck for d next scan as well..all is going to be gr8 hon....

As far as I go, i am pretty much d same.. the cramping was a little more painful yesteday n day before.. almost felt as if AF was going to come..but it is not due till 4th Feb..Sticky CM is still there but not as much as d last couple of days..

No other symptoms.. n i m having a hard time trying not to spot any.. I just dont want to play any in my mind..

Waiting for the 4th of Feb.. The Moment of truth.. Keeping my fingers crossed..

Hugs n baby dust to all..

 

[Smiler82]

Oh withlovemom you do have my sympathy waiting is so hard. I think it's a good idea to try and not symptom spot - I know some ladies do get symptoms this early but I really didn't and I'm sure many others are the same. The best thing you can do is just try to keep yourself busy for the next week. Hard I know but I think the cycles I spent loads of time thinking about it were the hardest ones to get over the disappointment of AF. Once I started to keep myself busy and try not to think about it all too much, I was better able to handle it. But just know we've all got everything crossed for you and sending you loads of lucky sticky baby vibes xxxx
