@kerrbear I really hope it isn't TMJ but I think I have a lot of the symptoms. What were your symptoms if you don't mind me asking. As for crocheting I have had little goes in the past but always gave up. I am more into cross stitching but this time I have been following an instructional video on youtube and it seems to be really helping.

I think AF might be coming again I have had some stomach ache today and it's starting to feel like proper AF pains. If it is her then she would be early again. I knew something was going on as I had a lot of stretchy CM when I went to the bathroom. As I have said before I never really get a lot of CM but I don't check very often. This time it was on the toilet paper so I checked inside (sorry tmi) and there was stretchy clear cm.

I am getting to the point where I want a cycle off from TTC but I am worried I will regret it. The disappointment every month is really getting me down. And what is worse than the two week wait is when AF comes so early that you barely get a weeks wait like she did last month and possibly this month.

Weight loss is going okay. I have 2lb more left to lose to get back on track. I went up over Easter and it just kept going up but now I am almost back to where I was before I started gaining. After that 2lb is gone then I am back on track again and also down to the lowest I have been for around 8 years. Only about a million more pounds to go but at least I am heading in the right direction now.

Stopping smoking wise I have cut down from about 20 a day to 15. I will continue with the 15 for another day or so then cut down to 12 then after that 10 and so on and so on until I am down to zero.

The tummy ache is getting worse now so think I will get a hot water bottle and go lie down for a bit.

Did you ever watch Gilmore girls where every year on her daughters birthday the mother would tell her all about the day she was born and what she went through? Well every year I am going to tell my kid about all the crap we went through trying to get pregnant in the first place

 

[Jo_Bean]

I love the way you write things, we're gonna tell our kid about all the crap we went through LMAO

Stomach ache and EWCM sound like OV to me! get a quickie in tonight just in case!

I am more into cross stitching but this time I have been following an instructional video on youtube and it seems to be really helping.

When I was first diagnosed with TMJ I had a lot of pain and stiffness in my jaw. It would pop every time I opened my mouth. I only have trouble with it on the left side. One day it locked shut and I could only open my mouth a few centimeters. I tried warm compresses and stretching and after a few hours still couldn't get my mouth open. I called my dentist who referred me to a TMJ specialist. I went there for them to unlock my jaw. I have since gone to my orthodontist for a new retainer which is helping with the symptoms until I can afford the TMJ appliance (which is like $2000).

I think thats what I have but i haven't been to the doctors about it yet. My jaw has clicked on and off for a long long time but in the last year or so its started getting stuck more and more, i often ave to chew very slowly in ase it locks while im eating. I usually can unstick it by wiggling it or as you say with a warm compress but sometimes at night it sticks but i go to sleep and its unlocked when i wake up. Its so annoying and sometimes painful.

Hi girls. I like my scale today. It's back near where it was before my stressful last month. I can't wait to be able to start exercising this weekend. I just had surgery last week that is why there is a wait to restart exercise.

CD27
DPO 16 (I think)

That was what we changed this month. I didn't poas and I didn't temp. My husband went in to the doctor on Monday and arranged for a SA because we thought we were going to need help getting pregnant. I guess maybe I just needed to relax a bit.

 

[bbbunny]

Congrats littlepeterso

@jo yeah I loved Gilmore girls too

With the TMJ thing most morning when I wake up its as if my jaw has clicked out of place in the night and I have to move it around for it to click back in which is annoying. I have been getting a pain on the right side sort of at the very top of the jaw near the side of my eye. The other day it was so painful it felt as if the whole area was bruised and hurt to even touch it. If I eat something hard it makes it worse and at the moment it feels quite tight.

DTD tonight as if the pains were AF she hasn't shown up yet. Fingers crossed she stays away Hubby was surprised and please with a bit of bonus sex Of course with that possibly being O pains then I have no idea if I am 1DPO or 5 DPO or anywhere between the two so I have no idea when to start testing which may be a good thing as I am a POAS aholic so it might save me a few quid to only start testing after the 26th if no AF by then as that it when the tickers say that I will be due on again.

Got in laws visiting tomorrow so need to get some major cleaning done in the morning. Then Saturday I have to pick up my glasses and Sunday there is a dog show near where my mom lives so we are taking our two little furry brats. I hope they behave but I doubt it lol. A am entering the littlest one in waggiest tail and both of them in most handsome dog. I am hoping that the weather isn't great to keep away the competition I would soooooo love for one of them to win a rosette especially the oldest as he is 14 in a couple of weeks and such a good boy.

Crocheting is going okay. I am doing a beanie hat and you are suppose to do single stitches and then an increase and the woman on the video said that if you are not on an increase when you get all the way around to the other side then you have gone wrong and I must have gone wrong every single row as I am never on the increase when I get round there Oh well it started as a beanie hat and will probably end up looking like a pair of trousers

 

[petesgirl20]

Just wanted to share some info...OH's mom asked if I used Geritol to get my BFP and well I didnt but I asked her what it does and all she said was "there's a baby in every bottle," so your supposed to take one tbspn every morning and every night before bed I looked at there website and it says it "contains every vitamin & mineral established as essential in human nutrition." Which makes sense to me...taking it everyday will replace all the vitamins your lacking, women can be lacking some vitamins due to stress, travel, etc...those vitamins you may be lacking can help with CM, sex drive, iron increase, and increases body heat (needed to keep sperm viable)....I wish I would have known that I would have definately tried using it...my mom use to make to take the stuff when I was young and I couldnt gut the tatse (literally tastes like swallowing 2nd hand puke ) I don't really remember the affect it had one me but I did read alot of SUCCESS stories online...most women I looked into got their BFP during their 1 st or 2nd month taking it and even MORE success stories when combined with clomid...these women talked about how they "knew" they were ovulating "naturally" (meaning no temps, no opks) when taking Geritol because they had high sex drive and ABUNDANT CM (like were supposed to do...not all of us are so lucky :/ ) they had all the natural signs of ovulation.....some women take it starting cd 1 up to O and some take it from cd 1 til they get their BFP....there are 2 types, Geritol Complete (pill form) and Geritol Tonic (liquid form...NASTY but gets into your bloodstream faster) I also saw a few success stories from overweight women that weren't ovulating because of thier weight take Geritol, which gave them the vitamins they needed to Ovulate and successfully concieve!!! I hope this helped some of you ladies out there...it might be something to look into


P.S. It's available at MOST drugstores, I've seen it at Walmart, K-Mart, CVS,Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc...unfortunately, its not available in the UK, so those ladies wanting to try who live in the UK will have to buy online...

Sounds like TMJ to me. I had and still have pretty much of the same symptoms. They make night guards that you can buy in drugstores to prevent grinding your teeth (which is one of the biggest causes of TMJ).

 

[bbbunny]

I have an anxiety disorder so I am pretty sure that I grind and clench my teeth in the night. Will have to have a word with my doc or dentist next time I am in there.

I have an anxiety disorder too and have noticed i often clench my teeth and have to make a conscious effort to stop.

On the bright side ladies, I've nearly finished crocheting my baby blanket. Its come up a bit narrow but i'm going to do another one after this that is a bit bigger and this one can just be for a newborn baby. The reason I think i have done it so quickly is because it has been a fantastic way to distract me from worrying about O and about my DH's really important job interview today. He doesn't finish it until approx 3pm and won't be home until about 5pm so i may even finish it today if my nervous stomach is anything to go by!

My temp has also gone up a little this morning so if it goes up again tomorrow morning i should finally get my crosshairs which is fantastic as i was starting to worry that is was going to be an annovulatory cycle.

How is everyone else doing today?
