TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[Dream143r]

Well I'm officially back. I'm at work today but I'm only going to work 6am-11am. I think that's fair enough. lol It's a long weekend coming up for us. We're off Monday due to our STAT Canada day falling on Sunday, July 1st. Our anniversary is this weekend too, tomorrow (June 30). 3 years. No plans or gifts since we just got back from paradise. Maybe I'll make him a fancy dinner or something, we'll see.

So nice to see everything positive on the thread in terms of scans. Super refreshing.

Sarah - sounds like your just a few days ahead of me. I also didn't do any tracking this cycle so I don't have an exact test date. I'm going to try to hold off testing until next Thursday CD27 and I'm guessing around 10DPO. Maybe you could try to wait it out until Monday...?

TB - Yay for the ticker!

Welcome back Dream! It does feel like you always need time off to recover from your vacation so a short workday sounds perfect! Also a big Happy Anniversary to you guys! Wouldn’t that be amazing if this one cycle you didn’t track was it! So cool. I’m hoping and keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[SarahTTC3]

Welcome Back Dream!!!!! I hate returning to work after a vacay. I wish I could just vacay all year long. Wouldn't that be the life?!?!

I ended up testing last night... I know it was to early but I was having sharp pains in my right ovary. Today is better but having back pain. I can't count the back pain as much cause it is rainy here and my pain flares up when it rains. I had back surgery 2 years ago so still a work in progress. I know with my son I had terrible pain thinking I had pulled something and was actually pregnant. I think the ovary pain could be a cyst. I will not test anymore until Monday. Af is due next Friday. So we will see how things go...

HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE!

 

[SunnyBe]

Welcome home Dream!!! I'm glad you have a long weekend ahead to get used to being back. Hope you get your anniversary gift right around next Thursday

Tb, so happy to see your ticker up! Grow sprinkle, grow! Any nausea yet? Hope it stays away just like it did for me (mostly).

Sarah, all I can say is that the only months I had no symptoms at all were the months I got a BFP lol. The symptoms probably do suggest you ovulated though (all progesterone related and too early for it to be due to hCG) so that is encouraging. Looking forward to seeing your test on Monday!!!

 

[tbfromlv]

Sarah I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you! Can’t wait to see that test Monday!

Sunny- no nausea really. I get random waves of it but I don’t know if it’s the progesterone or maybe the heat that causes that lol but it’s not been anything I can make huge note of. The only real symptoms are being more tired and I have some food aversions. Otherwise I feel fine! I was nervous about feeling fine until I saw that little flicker of a heartbeat. I guess it’s ok!

Happy Friday all!

 

[AmberR]

Welcome back Dream, and happy anniversary!!

Tb- ticker, yay!!! I know it's hard but try to enjoy the no nausea phase while you can!! Hope you will be one of the lucky ones who doesn't have much

Sarah- hope these are good signs for you!

 

[SunnyBe]

Sarah, any news? Fx!

Tb, tic tac week, yay Glad you're feeling well.

Dream, hope you're having a great long weekend, happy Canada Day!

Amber, I can't believe you only have 72 days left! Do you have a lot of stuff left you still need to buy, or are you pretty much set?

I listened to the heartbeat on my doppler today. Only used it twice so far, so I'm proud of myself lol. I love that just having the doppler gives me reassurance. If I WANT to I can listen to it whenever I want, but because it's there, I don't feel the need to? I don't know, I guess it just gives me that bit of reassurance even without using it.

 

[SarahTTC3]

Ohhhh Sunny, so glad you get to hear it on the Doppler!!! That is the most exciting thing ever!!!

Amber- 72 days will fly by!

Tb- a tic tac! I absolutely love the ticker!

AFM- Spent all weekend with hubby and MIL by the pool. I took a test yesterday morning and it was a BFN. I also am seeing signs that AF is going to show up. Have a lovely pimple coming up at on my face, feeling bloated, and craving chocolate. Looks like we are out this month. I did talk to the hubby about my worry of not being able to get pregnant. I have a follow-up with my OB coming up from the cryotherapy and will have a talk with him to see if everything is okay and if we need to do anything else.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

 

[tbfromlv]

Sarah I’m sorry for the bfn!

Dream- how are you feeling?

Sunny- how have you resisted? Lol i can not wait to hear baby’s heartbeat next week. Seeing it has put so much ease in my life. So exhaustion has hit on an additional level this weekend. I took 3 naps on Saturday, two on Sunday. And today I slept in until 10! I normally am up at 5 am to go to the gym with DH but he let me sleep and boy did I! And now I’m ready for another nap! Sheesh! Nausea still staying at bay.. I get stronger waves if I eat too much in a meal or eat something I am developing an aversion to.

Grow little tick tack!

Amber I cannot believe how close you are! Eek!

 

[SunnyBe]

Sorry about that Sarah. It hasn't been long since you were cleared to start TTC-ing right? So I wouldn't worry just yet

Tb, ahhh the naps! I slept soooo much during my first trimester and only just now seem to get some of my energy back. We just decided to demo our flooring and put in a new one (figured it's got to happen either now or in a few years because it'll be even harder with a little one around), so I need all the energy I can get, even though DH will obviously do most of the work lol.

 

[Dream143r]

Sunny - Yay for new floors. I love rennos, so exciting. The dust after will suck but be worth it of course. 17 weeks! Holy cow. It's so real. How's your bump looking?

TB - Happy 7 weeks to you and your tic tac! Your baby is starting to suck the energy out of you, oddly that makes me very happy. lol I hope you take that the right way. I figure it means your bean is healthy and growing perfectly.

Amber - September 12th is basically tomorrow. heehee It's actually pretty cool all the different stages we have it our group.

Sarah - Have you tested again?

AFM - I'm assuming based on past cycles that I O'd either CD16 or 17 which makes today 8/9DPO. I'm still trying to hold out until Thursday to test but I know you guys won't judge me if I give in tomorrow. Will keep you posted as always. Thanking God that it's a 4 day work week. Woohoo! It's been sooooooooo hot the past several days. but I'm not complaining, I'll take this over the snow any day. We had a nice relaxing Canada day at my parents house lounging by the pool and having some BBQ.

 

[tbfromlv]

Sunny that is so fun! Well it will be when it’s done at least! Lol

Dream I LOL at your comment! I totally feel the same way! Since I’m not getting sick it’s nice to have some symptoms going on to help me know things are still going well! Although, I do feel a little more nausea everyday. Nothing serious, just enough that I’d rather go sit down somewhere lol
We definitely won’t judge if you cave! I’m crossing my fingers so hard for you!

 

[Dream143r]

I bent down to pick something up and got a sharp pinching pain in my lower back. Of course the first thought that comes to my head is "I'M PREGNANT". Lol. Of course this doesn't mean I'm pregnant, it just means my symptom spotting radar for this cycle is officially turned on and there's no way I'm going to resist testing tomorrow. At least I tried.

 

[tbfromlv]

Happy Independence Day to the American girls here.

Dream I am (im)patiently waiting for your test today!

 

[Dream143r]

Oh here's my update from my journal - forgot to come here as well.

CD26-9DPO
Okay, so 2 things happened yesterday.

1. Minding my own business at work in the afternoon around 230pm, I bent down to pick something up and got this sharp pinching pain in my lower back. I know about a bijillion things could cause this but what the heck, I'm hopeful.

2. In the evening around 7pm I used the washroom and when I wiped I got a ton of what I can only describe as light creamy CM and brown blood. I haven't seen anything since though... Could that have been some implantation bleeding? At first I thought for sure it was but now I'm not so sure. I guess only time will tell.

I tested today - FMU. 2 cheapie brands both BFN. I'll try again tomorrow.


UPDATE:
So since that one wipe of brown blood yesterday there was nothing. It's 11:30am now and I just went to the washroom. Bright red what I would call period blood.... I'm only CD26 and 9DPO.....Since starting TTC I've always had 30-33 day cycles. This isn't my period right? But I don't think implantation bleeding is supposed to be bright red. I still have a slight pinch in my lower back but now I'm wondering if that's in my head. Someone calm me down please.

 

[AmberR]

Dream- I had some light pink and red spotting from 8-10 dpo with this pregnancy. I don't think it's very common to have bright red blood but my fingers are crossed for you!

 

[Dream143r]

It turned back brown and is very intermittent

 

[SunnyBe]

Haha Dream, you know I only judge people if they test too late instead of too early You have our full support! I hope it was implantation bleeding and you'll get a faint positive today or tomorrow. Don't throw the tests out right away if you don't see anything, but check them after an hour or so. They'll be very faint if it's just a day or two after implantation. You've never had this before, right? Anything that's different than what you're used to sounds promising to me!

Tb, when is your OB appointment?

 

[Dream143r]

CD27-10DPO

Yep this is 100% brand new. Some more dark red spotting this morning. Everything I'm reading says you won't get a BFP until 2-3 days after implantation. I tested a FRER this morning BFN but I suppose I'm only 1.5 days since the spotting started Tuesday evening.

Part of me feels so confident this is it. What else could it be? But the other half on me is saying relax, don't get to excited cause the let down will be rough. I was checking my hpt stash last night. Here's what I have left now:
2 FRER
1 FRRR (Rapid Result) - I don't even know where this one came from
2 CB
3 FR Digi
2 CB Digi w weeks indicator
and 1 Bijillion cheapies

Do you think I have enough? lol I'll check this morning's FRER when I get home. I def didn't throw it away. :wink:

Amber - Happy 30 weeks!

 

[AmberR]

Sounds promising Dream! I didn't get my BFP until 12 dpo. I thought my period was starting early but it stopped so I tested and there it was! Lol
