Someone help me figure out when is CD1?

[BabyCleo]

This early no one sees a bfp in the afternoon!!

Funny story - Once i got my bfp with my mc, i went to the doc same day, he had me pee again (so now its smu) and it was negative!!! Of course later on it was all confirmed but goes to show how concentrated pee really does matter.

Beachy!! That's why I told you not to test. You are not out until AF and don't forget it! Just try to not get too excited about the whole thing. It will happen when it's meant to. You are not out yet. Just keep staying patient. Any other symptoms?

 

[AnonymousCAT]

We must distract ourselves during the TWW! It's so hard not to obsess. I am totally failing!

Its really hard with anxiety. People say they get it, but then treat you like your insane. ive been in ER for them before, first time they thought i was having a heart attack.

The only other person who really gets it is DF, but he and i learnt about it as i went through it. It can destroy your life. People try to push and push and push you to do all these things... but for me, i came around when I was ready, it didnt matter what help was offered. Sounds weird but its true. Just be there, and be understanding is the best advice I can give. Sometimes you wont understand, but sometimes all thats needed is someone to hold your hand and just sit quietly. Thats all. Its very delicate. I have a friend who started going through it, and he and I talk all the time now as im able to help him cause ive been though it. xo

And I swear im having back and tummy cramps, i dont know how to not think about this lol.

 

[AnonymousCAT]

Thank you for the advice. It's so hard to know sometimes what to say or not say, and when to say it or not say it. One day at a time. I think he's making some good steps though in seeking help through the mental health side of things for the first time... I think it's the last missing link. He's also opening up and starting to talk about things more too.

I know it's hard not to think about it!! I keep looking at my chart and trying to analyze when o really was lol. I still think o was later than ff says. I know I won't be able to sleep tonight waiting to take my temp in the morning to see what my chart shows. I think if I did o on CD13 like ff says I am totally out this cycle as no real symptoms yet. But I am still hoping it will change my o date to CD17, which would make me 2dpo and too early for symptoms yet. AHH!! I'm obsessing!!!

Nothing really besides this cold, cough and headache. Earlier I could have sworn I had a little creamy light brown cm, but I can't be sure. And I did feel nauseous after lunch but it could just be because I'm under the weather...I know I shouldn't have tested...but they were there...I had to pee! Ha...I have been guzzling water all day, can't seem to drink enough. So I'm not going to test again until Saturday morning.

That's interesting that you got a negative at the doc after a positive...do you drink a lot of fluids?

We do need to distract ourselves.....any crafts going on ladies? I would love to do some kind of craft this weekend but I'm not sure what needs work! Haha...I do have to do a good clean of the condo though....saw the bathroom sink in bright light just now and ew....how could I not notice that?? Haha

I'm super glad to be home from work....I might call in sick tomorrow but then I'll have allllll day to do nothing but obsess!

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Anon I'm still confused about my o date as well...even though ff says cd13...a part of me thinks it still could have been cd15.... And if it truly was cd15 this whole tww is just waiting for AF to come.

Next cycle I'm definetly doing opk's as well...I can't go through this again.

If it makes you feel better..my buddy on here only took a test because she was going to drink that night, she had no symptoms, and doesn't really have any yet at 6 weeks....so no symptoms doesn't mean a thing.

Do you have a link to your chart so I can obsess too??

 

[BabyCleo]

The doc never showed me the strip, so he may have been blind but he told me he didnt think he saw anything. I do drink a lot of tea

ive been working on my blog, and i do alot of cooking. Im making candles out of wine glasses. you cut the wine glasses down and make your own candle and pour it in. So ladies, im playing with fire lol.

I think tomorrow ill pick up some tests, so I can be ready when i do decide to test. I actually googled "5dpo bfp" and there are some lucky ladies out there let me tell you!!! I feel like my boobs hurt too... but my last pregnancy i actually didnt have any boob pain, just tummy cramps.

We are doing home reno's of our house. Still lots of painting to do, buying picture frames, lamp shades, etc. Print wedding photos, hang pictures, etc. And the list goes on and on. We just ordered new carpeting for our upstairs and that will be installed next week some time. That means that we have to move all our furniture from 3 bedrooms downstairs while they carpet. Will be busy! But it is definitely distracting. Work helps too. Can't imagine just sitting at home all day obsessing over things. I do that enough while working! I have cleaning to do this weekend as well.

Finally feeling better today though from my cold! yay!

Beachy - how do you add your ovulation chart from ff to your signature?

 

[AnonymousCAT]

Is it bad I am feeling my boobs every 5 seconds?!

 

[AnonymousCAT]

Breast pain was my first "sign" last time and the last one to go away after the mc. I'm assuming if I got BFP again, I'd feel it again too. But I keep reading "every pregnancy is different" so maybe not...

 

[BabyCleo]

I keep poking my boobs to the point of me making them hurt, so im just lost lol.

Im starting to order furniture and such for our new place, we have a spot we can store it until we do move. My list is HUGE. I got rid of everything when we moved from Ontario, when DF comes back (14 days left!) for a visit we are ordering our bed from pottery barn. Im sooo excited.

Very cool! Always exciting to decorate!

It is DH's parent's 40th wedding anniversary at the end of May and I may have volunteered our home to host the party for all of his extended family :S I was hesitant because our house is so not ready to host a party. We have been here since June and still have some unpacked boxes in our family room! DH is a DIY guy so has many projects on the go that seem to go on forever! Ever since I said yes to this party thing though he has been working non stop on all the projects! If only I had known to say yes to a party sooner!

Anyways, heading to bed. Night!

Oh new houses and renovating is so much fun. I absolutely HATE moving, but I love getting to decorate a new space. We are in the process of buying my uncles house...but are in probate right now so it won't happen until probably next year (but hopefully sooner!) he passed away in January this year and didn't have a will...so the family has to take it to the courts to get the deed to the house. It's such a mess (make a will ladies!!!!!!). Once we do get it the fun will begin...we are tearing his house down and building our own...long process but will be worth it!

Until then we are stuck in this tiny little one bedroom condo. The bedroom is big enough for a crib so I'm not willing to wait until we have the house to have a baby...but it will be tight. I'm used to small spaces though. I like it

Do you girls have any pets? My little kitty is in my signature love her to pieces....she's been limping since yesterday though so I'm babying her more than usual. I think she just hurt herself jumping off something.

I'm not sure I remember how to link the cart ....maybe go to custmoize profile....and then click on edit signature? There should be a link you can find on ff that will work...sorry I'm on the iPad now and it's hard to figure that stuff out. I can get you more details tomorrow when I'm on the computer!!

 

[BabyCleo]

As you see from my ticker im actually about to adopt a kitten!!! I used to foster cats, so i would have anywhere form my 3, all the way up to 8 at a time!! My cat did pass away which was sad, but im ready to get a new kitty now, me and df are vey excited

I also like small spaces, DF and I are looking into a 2 bedroom condo. Im very excited.

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Oh yay for adoption! My Khloe is adopted...I used to volunteer at this animal rescue place and she needed to be fostered...of course I couldn't give her back after that!! Haha...she is currently fast asleep right behind my head on the couch! So much love for her I don't know what I'll do when she passes...I think I have a while, she still acts like a kitten and she's 7 (in human years)

We are counting down the days until we adopt a dog! OH and I both really want a German Shepard...but we think it's unfair to have a dog before we have a backyard...we both work long days and he/she would be stuck in the house to 9+ hours! not fair....

 

[BabyCleo]

In the same boat, we want a dog too but we want a big dog, and with right now looking into condos it just wouldnt be fair. I love germans, they are so sweet

Beachyfeelin - I had another look at your chart. It definitely is a little confusing. Did you record any other signs around the suspected o dates? How off was the timing of the temp taken on cd 14? It shows an open circle. Which days were you bd dates again? It's so hard to say which day may be o day for you. Fx though! You're not out until the witch shows. I would definitely try opks next cycle for you though with temping. The lack of other o sings definitely makes the temp harder to interpret.

 

[AnonymousCAT]

Beachyfeelin that's exciting about the house! How long do you expect it to be in the courts for and when can you start building? I have 2 cats and love them to pieces as well. They are 5 and 3 years old. They were both stray kittens we found and kept. Both indoor cats now. I always used to think I wanted a dog but I'm not so sure at this point. The cats are enough right now. Really just want a baby instead!

I'll look into adding my chart to my signature for you to look at.

Temp was still high today when I woke up and ff did change my likely o date to cd19 like I thought it would! That's just after I had all of the o signs around. So I really o'd later this first cycle by a few days than in the past. My cycles might be longer now after the mc. I am now 3dpo. We bd on cd16, cd17 and cd19. Sad we missed day before o. But fx! Slept better last night. Still have my cold but it's improving. I'm just happy I feel confident that I did O this cycle, seems like a small victory if nothing else comes of it.
