Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[Flowerbaby]

Yaaayyy for the pos opk DG! Let the TWW begin! Got everything crossed for you chick xx

 

[pambolina21]

I am pretty sure this cycle failed...CD18 and no positive OPK...I have had low temps and EWCM...temp went up today...still cramping too...can you still ovulate and not get a positive OPK?

 

[deafgal01]

I don't know Pam, I've not had that problem. I've heard others struggled with the opk so it's possible you could ovulate and not have opk detect it. How often are you testing with opk?

 

[pambolina21]

On average...3-4 times a day...lol...

I have read some woman ovulate and not get a positive OPK...I just dont think I will be so lucky...lol...Clomid only worked 2 out of the 4 times last year...so my expectations are low

 

[deafgal01]

Hang in there Pam. Has your DH had his SA yet?

 

[pambolina21]

Yep...he did it last month...and we still dont know the results because at first the fax was either lost or misplaced...had to call and have refaxed and it was finally received last week BUT they wont tell me the results of the SA or my HSG because they want me to come in and spend $150 for an appt then theu will tell me..GRRRR

 

[deafgal01]

That's annoying. Fingers crossed for good results. I was crushed when we found out my DH's results. They did another sample about a month later and it was still the same. He's got one coming up next week to see if the medicines are doing the trick.

Good luck both of you, DG and Pam!

Hopes- yeah it was definitely interesting to watch the procedure. He did fairly well other than being in a lot of pain the next day or two, he's doing great now.

So I decided to change LO's nipples to medium flow instead of slow flow since I was looking up information about his feeding and sleeping habits and a lot of what I read said that if they fall asleep at the bottle on a regular basis without taking in very much milk they could be irritated with the slow flow nipples and need to take in more milk during a feed. I had a couple medium flows so I started playing with them, I think he got a bit of a tummy ache at first from the higher amount of milk and not being used to it but he seems to be a lot happier now, he takes almost a full 4 oz each feeding instead of playing around and taking 1 here, 2 there, 1 here, 2 there, and then feeling like he's always awake, now he sleeps 3-4 hours at a time so its more in a pattern and now we can work on routines and sleeping through the night. I know the bottle companies say you shouldn't up to medium until 3-6 months but its been obvious since he was born that he eats a LOT and because of his fast weight gain and everything I figured it wouldn't be a problem. If he starts having more gas or tummy problems I'll switch back down but he seems happy with the increased flow so I'm going to have to go get some more!

Wow Kendra Jackson is doing really well! your plan makes sense.

 

[30mummyof1]

Claire, yes jubilee party was good although had to have it inside as it was pissing down all day!

Thats what i did Kendra and Harry had no problems. When your a parent you just have to do what feels right rather than what they might suggest is right as all babies are different, so don't worry

Goodluck dg, thinking of you. Roll on 2ww

Pam..i'm not sure, i've always struggled with opk's thats why i got the cbfm. so you could have?

as for me, just wanting to get my new car sorted. Was hoping to sort one before our hols but think that is unlikely now

 

[KendraNoell]

Too bad none of the stores I went to today had medium flow just slow and fast! Grrr... so I only have 4 nipples that are medium, feel like I'm washing bottles all day!

Kendra, I moved poppy onto variflow teats at 4 weeks as it was taking me ages too feed her and she kept falling asleep! Best thing I did! She struggled with them too start with and spluttered a bit but once she got the hang of them she was great! X

Well I've moved Poppy into her big cot tonight as she keeps banging the sides of her crib, which is wooden, through the night and its disturbing her so I've decided too go for it and make the move earlier than I anticipated! I'm gona stay in nursery still until I feel confident too leave her. I could be in for a long sleepless night! X

Aww nightmare bout the rain Rach, at least you had fun tho! What car u gettin? X

 

[30mummyof1]

I think we moved Harry about same age as Poppy is now as he kept waking himself up and hitting the sides, both boys loved the extra space in fact so hope she did too and slept well for Mummy

Going to get a merc b class, not too big but bigger than my a3 Its just a job finding the right one!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Ohh sounds lush Rach! Lucky you x

Well poppy slept terribly! She was fine from 9 til 1245 then started crying on and off until I gave in at 5am and let her cuddle in with me! I was up and down like a yo yo all night! I wouldn't care she fell asleep on her own without me there after her bottle and wasn't bothered about bein in the cot but obviously didn't likewaking up in the dark in strange place and then didn't settle after that. Will just keep perservering and am sure will get there in the end! X

 

[30mummyof1]

Quite excited about getting a new car, i mean it will be 3yrs old or so but will be the newest car i've ever had!

Yes she will get there in the end hun, make sure you nap when you can to catch up x

 

[pambolina21]

This cycle has def bit the big one...no positive opk and no thermal shift...I expected one this morninh but my temp actually went dow alittle....I will POAS cause HEY I owe myself that much at least...lol...

 

[Noradun]

Hello ladies, I am new to the forum but I wanted to get some advice....Basically I got a positive opk on May 31 and I Od June 1st getting my thermal shift. I had 8 hrs of horrible ovulation pains and very good EWCM. Hubby and I bedded the day before I Od, twice the day I Od, and once the day after. So I was really hopeful that we concieved

So fast forward and I had pretty much no symptoms of pregnancy at all. Then on 7dpo my cervix went high firm and closed. I started having a thick CM and when I checked I found a speck of brown blood with red streaks mixed in. Checked about an hour later and found more streaks. But nothing else after that. The same day I started having some cramping. 8 dpo I started having breast tenderness, fatigue, modiness. 9 Dpo Hit me hard. I started having hot flashes that pushed my temp to 99.4, headaches, nausea, chest flutters, dizziness etc. Today I am 10 dpo and I am still having headaches off and on. I woke up with nausea but I feel better then yesterday. The occasional twinge in my stomach, and breast pain. My cervix is still high firm closed, and VERY sensitive. When I touch it I can feel its kinda a weird feeling. And it gives me cramps. I want to believe I am pregnant but I got two BFNs this morning. I am so emotional, and moody, and fatigued. And craving food but not eating much. But its only the second time I have Od in 2 yrs, the last being March. So I dont know if its just my body isn't used to Oing or if I am preggo. I am so emotionally exhausted of this rollar coaster. What do you ladies think...do I sound preggo? OH..and right now I have a triphasic chart...although my temp dropped slightly today. So I dont know if it will stay that way or not. Grr Thanks ladies for reading and baby dust to all!

 

[deafgal01]

Nora- you should retest in a few days. Sometimes it doesn't show up as early as 10dpo but will show up on 13dpo. You definitely sound pregnant to me.

Thank you...I feel like I am but then I keep thinking what if my body is playing tricks on me. Its so frustrating.

Honestly I thought maybe I was preggo the last time I Od but my symptoms are so different then they were then, and my chart is different. Its just so overwhelming.
Here is my chart...hope it shows right well..?? If your scroll down you can see my current May 9th chart and farther below it is my Feb Chart which is my other O chart

[KendraNoell]

Nora, the hot flashes sound exactly like my symptoms were on the same DPO, and I had my son in May, so I am hoping this is it for you, it sure sounds promising But I did not get a positive HPT that was believable until 12 DPO so just keep testing!
