Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[aidensmommy1]

Twins for everyone! That would be awesome

Sometimes I'm like 'What, am I having twins.' and then there are days (like today) that I'm like 'Nah. Impossible.' Although it's actually not impossible since we know I O'ed from both ovaries. Before my BFP I had bad cramps in both ovaries which my regular OB said was a great sign of a healthy O from both. Friday cannot get here soon enough!

FX!

Megan, I hope AF stays far away!!!
I hear u on the headache!!!! I have been almost in tears for a wk now from a headache. Its in my neck and everything. I had to have dh rub my neck/shoulders last night to fell asleep. I woke up seeing spots and everything for a migraine. Ugh. For me, mine is part of some sickness...i had the headache along with just a nauseous feeling and then I actually puked for 24hrs and now it's been almost 48hrs since I last threw up and my head is STILL pounding!!! Its so irritating for me and as u said, ive been trying to keep up and reading everything but cant even respond half the time because my screen looks blurry from my head pounding. .
Its looking good with no AF yet FX ur charting is on track and ur late and have a headache for a fantastic reason! (id be more then happy to have to deal w this headache if I had a baby in my belly, that's for sure! Lol) and if that bfp comes, I also hope ur body adjusts to the hormonal changes good and u have a good pregnancy. It stinks when ppl can't even enjoy it due to sickness.

As for the warmth/heat thing, warmth isn't too bad but u just have to he careful on HOW warm it is. When I was in my first trimester with Aiden, EVERY doc was constantly telling me to stay away from too much heat! Lol so as u said, some warmth cant hurt but all and all they say to be careful. Some women won't be affected at all while ttc but my doc told me heat isn't good for the embryo. Your body produces a nice warm cozy environment for the little bean without extra heat What does ur acupuncturist reccomend? Ive always heard strict things about heating pads and other things while ttc because of the health of the egg in the 1st half of a women's cycle (apparently it can affect maturation..?) now I'm very curious as to if it can help in a way or in what way I should say even tho its bad in pregnancy. I was pregnant 7yrs ago so maybe science has just changed since then. Lol.

ahhh Megan I'm rambling cuz I'm excited to see if u get ur bfp! When are u testing?!!!!

 

[Megamegan]

Hope your head feels better Mary. I agree, I will take it if it's pregnancy! I tested today and BFN. I guess I will test tomorrow evening or Tuesday morning if still no AF. I have this ridiculous schedule now this week so I will be pretty busy during the day. If I'm pregnant, this week would suck, being stuck in a classroom and wanting to get to the doc and all that. But seriously I do not think I'm pregnant. I think AF is gonna be here by tomorrow night.

Must sleep. Take care of yourselves ladies

 

[Megamegan]

Ps. I'm so tired that I almost just took a second pain pill. Lol.

Also hubby brought me peanut butter choc ice cream. My favorite. He is a good man.

 

[Megamegan]

Decided to try changing FF's O detection method to Advanced. We will see who's right! FF thinks CD16.

 

[Jrepp]

I keep talking about twins too. As much as I've been through twins would make a lovely surprise. Lol. For real though I am a twin and have twins in the family and hubby has mega amounts of twins as well. Only time will tell.

Lol! I really hope we all get knocked up with twins now! Haha it'll save alot of stress and just get two babies at once and not need to try again for a bit (or forever for me if I got twins, id be done in the baby makin department lol) Fx! The only thing I worry about is how little I am and I know u said ur as small as me jess...idk if our bodies could handle that! Lol is ur mom really small too and if so, how did she do with twins?

My mom actually lost my twin brother while we were still in the womb. She was in a car accident at 6 months and he got squished between me and the steering wheel. My mom is 5'3 and weighted like 130 when she got pregnant with us. She did alright, so I bet I would too. Although she did get severe blood poisoning from my brother decomposing because the doctors couldn't remove him without harming me and her body couldn't help him exit without me exiting at the same time. We think that is where a lot of my problems stem from.

I read something that im going to try today. During your lp you can assist your body to keep up your temp and it will help implantation. Si little things like wearing socks and eating warm foods. Im going to eat oatmeal for breakfast and soup for lunch. I usually can't stand anything on my feet while I sleep, but im going to try to keep socks on all night. And maybe have a hot cup of decaf tea before bed. I didn't know if you all knew this or not, I know you all temp and pay attention to rises. But I thought its a stress free thing to try. Im also going to eat a piece of pineapple core for 1-5dpo

I wish this worked! Be careful with green tea (even decaf) in ur LP. The ingredients aren't the best for implantation. Honestly, I dont think these things actually help implantation...ur body warms up from progesterone any given cycle and sometimes there can also be an increase FROM implantation due to the change in extra pregnancy hormones but you cant make ur body warmer for implantation. Ive actually read against using heating pads and such in the tww and that women actually take colder showers to help the process (cuz heat is bad even in pregnancy). The reason it may look like the socks and hot tea and such helps is because, especially drinking hot stuff before bed and sleepin with socks when u usually dont, it'll make ur bbt higher regardless of if ur in ur LP or if its before O. Itd be nice if it worked like that for sure! I'm sure the women that did this probably were about to get their bfps anyhow and because of the extra factors causing a rise in their bbt, they may have tried connecting it. I'm not saying it def wont work, anything is for sure worth trying! I just dont think its possible to help implantation by making ur bbt higher :-\.
Can I ask where u read this? I'm just curious who's putting out such ideas! my doc told me to avoid hot tubs and such in the tww because of heat being harmful to an embryo. I wanted to share my knowledge on this just so u can research it more before deciding. Plz share that website tho! And regardless of what you do, I hope u get ur bfp ASAP! I prayed for every last one of u ladies In church today

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong about the heat and stuff (what i said above). I know ive seen some threads with women talking about stuff like that but as I said it looked like a coincidence to me in those cases, given their info/charts. If this is really possible, ill be sleeping with a heating pad all the time lol

Chelsea, the pineapple core is a great idea tho....ive heard of that working for many woman because it helps feed the corpus lithium and keep it alive longer and that CAN help implantation and once/if implantation occurs, it'll end up raising your temp in that way. The temp rises AFTER implantation....did this whole post make sense? I tried explaining it the best way I could think of for u! Good luck hun and again, I am so happy u are back!

FX for many manyyyy bfps this cycle!!!

I haven't heard about eating/drinking warm things, but with pregnancies 2 & 3 I used a heating pad to help with the ovulation cramps I got. Obviously neither of those babies stuck around but I don't think it was from the heating pad. I know a lot of women use heating pads because it doesn't get hot enough to do harm. The idea is to not raise your body temp and a heating pad provides localized heat, not enough to heat your whole body.

I have craved pineapple with each of my pregnancies from basically ovulation on. I think that this one does work somehow.

Ps. I'm so tired that I almost just took a second pain pill. Lol.

Also hubby brought me peanut butter choc ice cream. My favorite. He is a good man.

I saw that on Facebook. I am horrible at pills and have to have someone watch me or I would probably over dose on pain pills. With the last surgery I begged my husband to give me drugs like 20 minutes after he would give me some. It's not like I'm trying, but I can't remember when I take them.


AFM: pretty productive and fun day today. Hubby was a grumpy pants and I took my wedding ring in to have the prongs repaired, but then we went to walmart and got some more pots and to a few random stores. I got the deck all put together and planted tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, onions, oregano, thyme, basil, cilantro, dill, and some flowers. We even got some chairs and a small table and Ronny grilled some ribs and we are dinner out there. Now it's off to bed cause I have to work tomorrow

 

[Wishing1010]

Sorry that you ladies have headaches!!!! I hope you all wake up feeling much better today (unless it's a BFP for you Megan )

Sounds like you had a productive day, Jess!!!! Hope your work day goes very well today

 

[Megamegan]

Turns out I was right- or, I may have O'd on CD14- either way my temp dipped today so I'm out. AF should arrive any second. On to testing cycle!

 

[mdscpa]

oh, so sorry the got you...... FX'd next cycle(s) will be ours.

Starting to get watery CM, i definitely think we're gonna miss O...... Not optimistic for this cycle though.

 

[Wishing1010]

Stupid witch! I want to go hit her in her face. I hope she stays away next cycle Megan!

Mdscpa, I hope you still catch it in time. But if not, I pray you get your answers and get a BFP next cycle!

 

[Jrepp]

I'm sorry Megan. That sucks!

Mdscap I hope your body keeps o at bay 2 more days. What time is your hubby's semen analysis at? I think it's tomorrow right?

 

[Wishing1010]

Ooo I just got onto DH about our bd schedule. 8 times in almost 5 weeks. Ugh. That's it. I wish he had more of a drive!!

[Wishing1010]

Lol! I'm going to be all over him next cycle!!!

awe I'm so sorry Megan . Everything is crossed for all you ladies this cycle! (like always!) But I also joined a church again yesterday for the first time since I was about 15 and I prayed for every last one of you and I will continue to every Sunday . The pastor even had me write down the names of the people I wanted to pray for and the reason (if there was a big reason to pray for them) and of course I had him mention my brother because my brother still isn't better and its already passed the 21 days on the anti viral meds and I also had him pray for all the women/families that are struggling to make a family and we all said all the prayers out loud together. It was nice . I haven't been a church go-er in years and it actually made me feel really good and everyone there knew everyone so dh and I were greeted by everyone asking if we are new to the church and coming back and everything. I have never been to a small church like that where everyone was so close and it was a fun service, even for kids! Lol

I wish u ALL tons of !!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Jess, I do agree, I dont think a heating pad affects the tww itself but from what I was told, heat can damage eggs wo my doc told me with me trying like I am and only having my one ovary to try avoiding heating pads due to eggs while ttc but she did say IF I needed one that obv she wanted me to be comfortable but she just had this thing about heat being directly on my ovary...? And taking really hot showers was another thing she mentioned when I asked about things to do and things to avoid back at my 6 month mark appt (WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HSG! BUT SHE THOUGHT I WAS FINE! I really feel like my tube wouldn't have gotten that bad if she did the hsg from the beginning because they think my chemical just added to scar tissue already present, making my tube fully blocked. Ugh) Anyway, that actually makes me think and now I want to ask a diff doc about heat because maybe the doc who gave me this TTC info isn't too smart lol. I do know when I was pregnant with aiden it was a big no no for alot of heat only on my belly area though. Like if I wanted to go in a hot tub that was even set at a lower temp than usual but still a tiny bit hotter than tub water, I was only suppose to put my feet in lol. I was young and didn't really ask about facts and just listened. I think it had to do with blood flow because the one time I did try to take a hot bath, I almost passed out and that had to of been from blood rushing to my head or something...i was perfectly fine after and I didn't get dizzy spells with Aiden so it wasn't a normal thing to happen to me at that time. My body responded to the hormones well with him, thankfully, so I was happy and active. I hope for that kind of experience the 2nd time around! I hope all of us can enjoy every moment of it after all the hard work we've put in trying for that sticky bean!
Jess how is ur belly doing by the way? Did that insane swelling go away?! I couldn't believe that picture! It looked so painful! And how has work been? Hope not too crazy!

 

[Megamegan]

Hey girls. The Army is so stupid. Not enough people showed up for the drug testing class I had to do, so we rescheduled for the second week in June. People don't have the courtesy to communicate with each other, not even a freaking text message. It's not like we have to send a telegraph. Ugh.

Anyway that means at least today I have the day off so I'm gonna relax. I still don't have any cramps or AF yet, but given the temp dip, I'm just waiting it out now. I scheduled my HSG for next Tuesday! So at least there is a plan.

Mary I'm really sorry to hear your brother isn't better yet. I'll be praying for him, too. I'm glad you found a church you like. That is really nice

Also I wish I had the libido of most of you girls. I would probably be fine DTD like twice a month LOL! Hubby is the total opposite. It just doesn't come to my mind, and I kinda have to force myself to get in the mood or else we lose intimacy. Oh well.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Idk why I thought u said u already got AF Megan! Lol I totally misread that post! Well FX u just happened to get a dip and it goes up. I know that's not common but its not impossible! I always keep hope for u girls, even when things aren't looking the best, I will always be a strong believer on its not over til the witch shows! If AF does come today, do u call the doc tomorrow to schedule your hsg?

 

[Megamegan]

Well.... I assumed AF would just show today, I have all AF symptoms and temp drop- she usually comes at the end of the day (so annoying) so I went ahead and scheduled my HSG. I can always cancel hahaha. I guess there is always hope until Aunt Flow actually starts flowing. It WAS really cold out last night, I guess there's a tiny possibility that it affected my BBT. But really. I will be back by this evening to tell you all how sad I am that AF showed. Lol. Just wait.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Everytime I decide to sit down and watch one of my shows, its all baby! I'm watching Kadashians and it was episodes about Khloe having issues Oing on her own, Kim having her eggs frozen, both of kourtneys births and now Kims pregnancy and I was thinking, what the heck is this, a baby marathon?! And then I see the bottom of the screen flash "baby-crazathon" or something along those lines (lol) WHY IS EVERYTHING AROUND US BABY?! I think its like when u get a new car, suddenly you see that car EVERYWHERE! Lol. I'm bored, if u cant tell. My heads still hurting but def not nearly as bad!
