The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Ok so I hate to keep bugging you guys but I'm very weirded out by this.

My breast are so tender and seem to be getting worse. Why is it getting worse? I've even had to start wearing bigger bras. My nipples are also burning. Is it going to be like this till my temps drop?

I feel like this is a very cruel thing to happen.

Yes it's going to be like this until your progesterone falls (progesterone is what makes the boobs feel like they're exploding), and yes, it's incredibly cruel. Totally normal and totally sucks.

Our bodies can be very cruel sometimes, my boobs are the first thing to hurt in pregnancy and the last thing to go back to normal after a mc. Hang in there Milty it won't be much longer and you'll feel much better

How fun Suki!!

Morning everyone

Bmom

I finally had my temp drop so a relief there

 

[H0pefulagain]

Milty, what a relief you must feel to know where things stand, finally!

Suki, that sounds like fun minus the cold and rain part! Which of the two is you? Blonde or Brunette?

Morning to all you wonderful ladies! I'm hoping today is a good one for all.

Today, I get to see a childhood friend I had not seen in over 21 years (since her wedding). She's a missionary's wife and finally back in the USA for a bit. I'm beyond excited to see her again!

Good Morning ladies

Liz-Good Morning

Suki- You look adorable in that hat

Milty- yeah for the temp drop, that should mean your hormones are back to normal and you'll ovulate within the next little while so keep a close eye on things

H0peful- I hope you have agreat time with your friend 21 years is such a long time to not see someone so enjoy every minute with her

Peace- Good morning How are you holding up?

Bmom- Good morning lovely lady

HA- I hope the stimming is going ok and your not too stressed about this cycle Easier said, I know

 

[H0pefulagain]

We had a blast and I miss her more than I did before she got here! We got into so much trouble together as kids and had so much fun doing so! It's so odd seeing her as a Mom of 4 now. Our kids are all having a hard time seeing us having done the things we did and getting into the mischief we did together.

She started crying when we started saying our goodbyes and told me she is expecting and so is the other gal that was part of our friendship triangle. We did EVERYTHING together as kids and teens. They are both 40 and 42. I'm trying to just accept it and be thrilled for them but I'm swinging between "why not me too??!!??" and "don't be a selfish ninny and just be thankful for the ones you do have!"

 

[H0pefulagain]

Suki, you are beautiful! (and the hats are cute!)

 

[crystal443]

Glad you had a great time H0peful, it is hard to hear someone close is pregnant. We have a couple that are friends and they too were going through IVF treatments when we were etc. IVF worked for her the second time and she's now just made her 12 week announcement, I've known she was pregnant since the cycle so it definatly was not a surprise I'm so happy for them and wouldn't change their news for anything but it does make me sad that I've had more IVF and had 3 mc and nothing to show for it

Some days are tough when LTTTC but on a positive note Jen has been our last sticky BFP so we're due some good news Its funny because I always am so happy for the girls on here when there's a BFP but I think its because we talk to each other everyday and know the struggles.

 

[H0pefulagain]

You are so right, Crystal. I don't begrudge anyone a pregnancy. I'm always thrilled for them...absolutely thrilled and would never be upset with them for it. I just want mine. I want those of us who have been waiting for what seems forever to have ours. And the sad part is I know full well I'm blessed and have struggled less than some of you and have not been waiting as long as others but dadnabbit, I am ready now and will not be accused of being patient for a baby anytime soon! Thanks for understanding I better go find something productive to do soon and burn this off. Hubby always knows I've been upset when the office or house is spotless. Poor fella!

 

[More4mom]

Oh Hopeful... I totally hear you! Last week, I found out that my DH's cousin, who is one year younger than me (41, I'm 42) is expecting her 5th little one. As quickly as I was over-joyed for her and her DH - and I sincerely was happy for them - I totally crashed and lost my composure!! I burst into tears and cried for over an hour! It's not that I wasn't thrilled for them, but I was also, at the very same time, desperately sad!! "Why not me?"...??

Crap, this is hard!!!!!!

Morning everyone

Well I'm 8dpo and for some reason I decided to POAS and of course it was BFN. Why would I test at 8dpo? Luckily I'm so used to BFNs I don't even get sad anymore. My boobs are hurting every month from O to AF it's driving me mad it stops me sleeping, exercising and shagging it's very annoying . I'm taking vit B-100mg complex (to try and increase progesterone as its always been low), vitex to try and help with PMT and AF. I have had me testosterone (+ thyroid) tested before and they were normal. If I was going to re-start DHEA should i try + get them tested again?

Peace- did AF come? Keeping everything crossed she stayed away and if she came i hope you're okay Been thinking what you said about inflammation I always have really achy joints my GP tested me for rhematoid but it was normal. I wonder if i dare look at Dr Beers book?

HA- hope you're hanging on in there + hope the cycle is going well

Milty- how are you? Hope you feel better now your temp has dropped

Bmom- how are you? think we're about the same dpo- any 2ww madness for you yet?

Jen- hope you're okay

More4 + hopeful- yeah it's hard when others are pregnant I'm really happy people get to experience having babies cos it's wonderful but i get the pang of pain and the why can't I have that

LL-I'm glad you are fine

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Milty]

Suki the boobs hurting is a good sign even though it's annoying. Have you considered getting different Bras for your LP. I do i have a set for before O and then a set for after.

I am feeling better thanks. Strangely I can't decide if I'm going to O soon or if AF is going to start.


Morning all

 

[sukisam]

Thanks Milty- I wear a bra at night from O to AF & I also wear sports or maternity bras after O cos of my painful boobs. I bought a new sports bra today the problem is they come up so high they show under most of my tops

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Milty]

Oh same with me...big boobs suck
