TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BelleNuit]

Do you hav acne around the chin area - always usually before AF and before ov
Irregular cycles? - not usually
Short af? -3 to 4 days long not counting the 2-3 days of spotting before and a day of spotting after
Facial hair? - none out of the ordinary
Thin hair or hair loss?- no
Overweight?- no although I have gained some weight this winter but likely due to poor diet
Hard time losing weight? - no
Do you get long LH surges? Longest was 3 days, but 2 days is more typical
Do you get clear opks or always faint line? Always a clear opk
Af is painful? - very painful cramps when AF starts, I have had to miss work on occasion because of it


I get very severe mood swings before AF and have wondered if it is PMDD, I'm not sure if that is something that is related to pcos or not?

 

[GoldenRatio]

No Hun you definitely don't hav pcos, I'm 99percent sure.

Being moody and bitchy is a common thing before AF, probably not pmdd

If there s a problem I would suspect blocked tubes or DH fertility problems, but not pcos or endo

 

[BelleNuit]

Thanks Golden! That makes me feel better!

Keep the faith guys. remember concieving is sometimes luck. like a roll of the dice. i didnt know much abt ttc when i first started and was shocked whe i didnt get pregnant the first try. i thought that was how it work: no sex during ovulation=pregnancy. i tried the second month, nothing. thats when i started googling. i thought i knew much about the reproductive system based on mastering it up to 6th form (grade 13) in high sch. oh was i wrong.

now im trying to stay calm and optimistic. im a religious person so i try to pray and accept God's will.

its very sad sometimes..my neighbour has a 6mnth old and she is always pawning him off to someone. the boy is always crying bc he is not familiar with her. she doesnt walk him etc. i say to myself i could do a better job

anyway,try to keep positive as much as possible.

TJ i didnt even know ovulation happens just one day lol i thought we could get pregnant anytime! Also i would get mid cycle pain before and i thought it was bladder infection that im getting every cycle , not ovulation pain. Oh and i went to doc several times because of excessive cm!

We didnt know anything ha

Anyways i think i ovulated on CD14 but yesterday CD15 i was in major pain! I thought i developed a cyst and cyst burst. Around my ovaries, it was super sore. Sore to laugh or poop/pee even Then we had to BD one last time and that was so painful too! like he was pounding on a really bruised spot. I started crying because he was taking his sweet time, but thankfully my tears didnt turn him off and we made it! That was the session finale for sure.

 

[BelleNuit]

That sounds so uncomfortable Golden! Glad you still managed to get BDing in!

When I first started ttc I knew about basic reproductive processes and that you are only fertile for about a week, but I definitely had unrealistic expectations for how long I thought it would take! I thought for sure the 1st month!

I've been looking into the effect that chronic stress has on progesterone and I think that might be part of my problem. Going to go to walk in clinic tonight and see if they will do anything!

 

[BabyC4Me]

Its so funny looking back at all those health classes and the teachers putting the fear into every teenage girls head that "It only takes one time!!!! Dont forget your pills or condoms!!!! you're gonna get preggo when you are 18 when you lose your virginity!"


NOT!

false false false false andddddddd FALSE!

Im sure if I would have never used BC, I still wouldnt be preggo and just having all the unprotected sex i wanted!

WHY is it taking so long!!! BUT like Tj said...... sometimes its luck and its timing.
or like Puma said.....our babies are waiting on the right Birthday!!!!

AFM----> Im on CD21....period due in 7 DAYS!!!!!!! Mexico is right around the corner....fingers crossed but im not hopeful since we only BDed twice during the fertile week....BUT according to the blogs...alot of women dont get the timing right and it still happens!

watever...where is everyone else in the TTW>?

 

[BelleNuit]

Once is all you need! I hope you get your bfp in Mexico! What a great surprise that would be!

I'm sitting at the doctor's office, waiting to get in. Feeling nervous.

Keep us posted hun!!!!!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Belle keep us posted!

Im 2dpo today and feeling sick already. Clomid is not easy to handle ha

 

[greenarcher]

What a lovely temp jump, golden! Sorry you're not feeling well.

Don't be nervous Belle. What are you worried about?

 

[BabyC4Me]

Golden what are you feeling at 2dpo??

 

[BelleNuit]

Oh no Golden! Sorry the clomid is tough to tolerate!

The doc was really good actually. Said stress may be the culprit, but he's running the full screen of hormone and endocrine blood tests.

 

[GoldenRatio]

Thanks Green, i was worried that it wouldnt go up. Ur temp is going up too!

Babycme, i hav chills but my face is hot red. Got sore lower abdominal area and my body is aching everywhere especially stomach/boobs/back. Its like beginning of a nasty cold.

Belle, im glad he is running tests then we will know whats up. But i still believe that he wont be able to find anything wrong with ur hormones. I smell a pcos from million miles away

Are those symptoms expected at this phase in the cycle?

 

[GoldenRatio]

yea apparently clomid can cause lots of side effects at any stage, but they say dont symptom spot because clomid mimics early pregnancy symptoms. So no getting excited over symptoms for me.

Lets say i get bfp this cycle, Af is due June 14. What are the chances of me holding bfp a secret until fathers day to tell DH? will be so hard ha...

 

[BabyC4Me]

It would DEF he hard to hold that secret in BUT it would be soooooooooo worth it!

 

[GoldenRatio]

yea i dont think i can keep it a secret, because if i dont drink or smoke he will understand that something is up. I have my bday dinner party on june 11th and couple days before we hav an other party to go to, so he will be like why arent u drinking.

hahahha look at me already making plans about my non existent bfp lol

 

[BabyC4Me]

Plans are okay! Especially for us Type A , life schedulers.

Without plans ....my life would fall apart !

 

[BelleNuit]

Oh man I totally spaced that fathers day was coming up! I still won't know at that point, will only be half way through the tww!

Thanks Golden! I'm definitely hoping nothing's wrong with hormones! Got the blood tests done today as he didn't specify whether to wait or not. Will give a baseline at least. I expect I'll hear something in about a week.
