TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[SunnyBe]

So when is your mom's birthday babylights? I really hope you'll start us off with a BFP and we'll all be bump buddies soon.

Jmack, I'm going to try Preseed this cycle (thanks for asking as I otherwise would have forgotten that I still need to order it lol). I also won't be taking prenatal supplements this cycle. I started using them since my 2nd TTC cycle and I haven't had any good EWCM since. I highly doubt it's the supplements, but hey, you never know. I think I'm getting enough folic acid from my diet anyway and as soon as I get that BFP I'll start right back up.

 

[jmack54]

Eek! You're cruising right through the TWW babylights!! Can't see what happens over the next few days!! Fingers crossed for you love!!

Sunnybe that sounds like a great plan!! My sister got her BFP the first month they used preseed after trying for awhile.

I've been feeling pretty emotional yesterday and today which is unusual for me so I don't know what's up w that, maybe just hormone changes?

 

[babylights]

Welp I woke up this morning and all my symptoms seem to have disappeared and that has me spooked! I'm gonna just try to forget about it for the rest of the trip and just enjoy myself

jmack hope your tww flies by and the emotions pass quickly!

sunny happy bd-big, catch that eggy!!

Ok just have to vent here! A couple of our close friends know we have been TTC and when we all get together it seems to be that it always comes up. The guys get together with my husband and try to give him advice like just BD more often and stop trying and it will happen! But they don't realize it's not that easy for everyone to get pregnant. So it's just frustrating to hear all of that every time we get together. And my good friend just says well I guess I am super fertile because I got pregnant right away both times! Anyway that's my vent!

Babylights and Jmack can't wait to see your test!

Sunnybe hope you catch that egg this month!

 

[SunnyBe]

Ugh Sorry Amber, that sucks! I'm sure they're trying to say the right thing but I understand how frustrating it is to get that unsolicited advice all the time. People that get pregnant right away just don't understand the stress and the anxiety that goes with it and how insensitive some of their comments can be perceived by us. Hang in there!

 

[SunnyBe]

Babylights, yes go enjoy your trip! It's so hard not to try and symptom spot, totally get that. Are you still in Italy? What's your favorite city that you visited during your trip so far?

Jmack, woohoo your temp is up again. Time to put that thermometer away and relax your way through that TWW. I've been reading lots of good reviews about Preseed, glad to hear your sister had success with it as well. I think my CM may be the culprit so I hope it'll help. It better... that stuff is expensive!

 

[AmberR]

You are right sunnybe! I don't blame then for trying to give helpful advice! I am trying not to think about it too much but it makes it hard when everyone brings it up! Lol

 

[SunnyBe]

That's exactly the reason why we haven't told anyone we're TTC. It's lonely at times but I have you guys for support

Have you talked to them about how you feel when they bring it up?

 

[jmack54]

Amber I totally get how you are feeling. We told more people than we should have and the advice is well intentioned but annoying. And I feel like every day I'm hearing about another friend getting pregnant... ready for it to be our turn!

Thanks sunny I will take your advice and put away the thermometer!!

I hope preseed does the trick and this is your BFP cycle!!

Babylights have a wonderful rest of your trip!! Will you wait until you get back to test if AF hasn't shown up yet?

 

[babylights]

Thanks so much loveys! I've very stupidly let all of this symptom spotting distract me quite a bit so I'm making a concerted effort to stop. But who am I kidding, it's pretty much impossible :/ I've been thinking about it a bit less so, progress?

Hopefully I won't test until we get back, getting af here would be quite sucky. We're in Rome now and it's prob my fave place so I think I can do better with not being distracted.

sunny i'm so excited for you to try something new! And if cm has been on the light side for you it really might be just the trick! Remember to use like a quarter of the suggested amount!!

amber ugh I totally get you. We also have only told about two couples we're trying and thankfully they're not the type to bring it up.

jmack yay for crosshairs!! Stay zen and peaceful my dear, hopr that tww flies by!

Sending so many good thoughts from Roma! ❤

 

[jmack54]

Babylights- Rome is so magical and wonderful! I hope it is keeping you distracted When do you get back?? I know you told us but I forgot!

It is so impossible not to be thinking about it. I am pretty busy with work so hopefully that'll keep me distracted over this next week

Enjoy Roma!!

 

[babylights]

Thank you sweets! I'll be home April 13, just in time for your bfp!!! ❤

 

[jmack54]

If you get home from your trip with no AF then we will be celebrating your BFP!! And yes, perfect timing to get me through the most difficult days of waiting

 

[jmack54]

ahhh babylights what is going on!! your symptoms look amazing!!

 

[babylights]

ahhh I'm scared to say anything about it but ahhhh!!

 

[jmack54]

Eeeek! So are you going to wait until you get back to test?? are you going crazy??

I am only 5 DPO today but I have noticed some weird sharp pinches in my sides yesterday and today, and today my nipples are suuuuuper sensitive which they have never been before during my TWW.... seems too early to have symptoms but it's so hard to ignore!!

 

[babylights]

idk my test date is 4/9 so I guess if af isn't here I should test?? I'm just kinda chalking everything different up to traveling / first month off hormones so trying to keep a lid on the crazy for now lol

Ahhh for your symptoms too!! I got some stuff even at 3dpo that can't be denied - I've had snotty yellow cm (sorry!) every day since then and it must be from hormone shifts, right? I feel like there must be *something* different after conception (eeks!) right??! So I trust that you know your body and when things are different...bump buddies Christmas 2017 oh please oh please oh please!!!

 

[SunnyBe]

Omggg girls, your symptoms I'm keeping my fingers extra tightly crossed this month for you two!

Jmack, do you still feel relaxed during the TWW? Babylights, I hope Rome is a nice distraction!

 

[babylights]

Thanks sunny! How are you doing?? About 1.5 weeks left til O? How are you keeping busy? Have you ordered the Preseed?

I've been eating my face off! I didn't think it was possible but I just might be dangerously close to being all pasta'd out!!!

 

[jmack54]

Omggg I would kill for some Italian pasta right now!! Eating your face off is the best way to enjoy Rome!!

Thanks Sunny!! How are you doing this cycle? Feeling good? Trying anything different? Did I mention that one month I took Evening Primrose Oil because it's supposed to help with CM? But I didn't really notice a difference so I stopped taking it. I read a lot of reviews though that it helped a lot of women get more CM around O time.

I am very realistic and know that 5 DPO is probably way too early to be experiencing anything but there is just something funny about the TWW isn't there? It's like on matter what I start to convince myself of things!! I am feeling WAY more relaxed- a lot of that is because I'm not temping. That was SUCH a good decision after O!!

What do you think babylights?? Are you going to test in Italy or wait until you get home? What other stops do you have in Italy? Anything else before you fly home?
