TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[babylights]

Keeping everything crossed for you jmack!!!!!!

 

[jmack54]

Thanks babylights!! When does your plane leave??

 

[babylights]

We leave tomorrow but have a few layovers - can't wait to be home!! And can't wait for your good news when I land!!

 

[jmack54]

Yay I hope you have a safe flight home!! How are you feeling today? Like AF is coming? anything more than spotting?

 

[babylights]

Thank you! No cramps, no sign of the witch, small amount of spotting early in the day and nothing since.

 

[jmack54]

Ah babylights thats good!!! Has that ever happened to you before the witch showed up?? if not, a little spotting isn't necessarily a bad sign.... especially with no other signs of AF!!! Eek keeping my hopes WAY up for you girlie!!

 

[babylights]

Thanks friend! No I usually have a very predictable set of signs before af, but to be honest I'm not that optimistic. One thing that's super weird, and totes tmi, but just now in the shower I thought there was something white around my nipple (that I noticed because they are huge right now!) and when I squeezed, there was a tiny bit of white stuff that came out each time! So bizarre. I think af is just messing with my head big time 😕

 

[jmack54]

Whaaat!! That's crazy! Do you know what it is?? That does not seem like something that would happen if AF is coming....!!! Are you going to test when you get home?? Ummm also I just stalked your previous charts and you never have made it past 16 DPO without AF!! Omggggg I will die of happiness if we are celebrating your BFP!! You stay cautious, I stay excited for you

I've been chill and relaxed all cycle but now that I'm at 10 DPO tomorrow I'm getting a little antsy!! Every little thing I'm either thinking it's AF coming and I'm out or that I might be on my way to a BFP!!

 

[babylights]

Ahh I can't wait til tomorrow, I'm so super excited for your bfp! I'll stay excited for you too, I have more than enough excitement for ten people!!!

I think it's colostrum, which apparently only leaks early if you've already had a baby so I seriously don't know. It may be my crazy, just straight coming out of my skin now lol! Still a tiny bit of brown spotting, and my boobs hurt more than ever and the veins are getting nutty all over my body now. I guess I'll test when I get home, if af hasn't shown up. I feel very strangely neutral and like...blah right now. But I'm absolutely giddy for you jmack!!! Doing all kinds of excited dances in my head 😄

 

[jmack54]

Woke up today and took my temp and it was super low and I just wiped and saw brown tint... looks like I'm out. Feeling super defeated today.

 

[babylights]

Oh no jmack Wait it out with me, fx it's not af for either of us!!!

 

[babylights]

How are you feeling otherwise hon? Any signs of the witch?

 

[SunnyBe]

Oh no I was so happy reading what your sister said. I really hope this isn't AF jmack! Don't know what to say hun

Babylights; have a safe trip home! Still keeping my FX AF stays away for you too dear.

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me joining you?!

DH and I have been TTC since coming off the pill almost a year ago. I had no AF at all so was referred to a fertility doctor who diagnosed PCOS. After various tests (SA, HSG etc.) we were told all looked good and we are just contending with the PCOS at this point... I was given Norethisterone to trigger AF (which was practically non-existant), and then Clomid 50mg to take on CD2-6. Today is CD 14 and have had zero signs that O is coming and have CD21 blood test next Tuesday. I've been feeling pretty fed up in general, but especially these past couple of days, but reading your posts I saw how friendly and excitable everyone seems to be so thought I would join in!

 

[AmberR]

Babylights that sounds like a good sign! Can't wait for you to test! Safe travels!

Welcome Steph! I have been trying for 8 months now, but haven't seen the doctor about it yet. Figuring I will make an appt soon. Hope you get your BFP soon!

 

[jmack54]

Ok babylights... I'm gonna stick it out with you I don't really feel other symptoms of AF yet... we shall see! How about you?? How are you feeling, any witchy signs?
I am excited for you to be home and relaxed at your own house so we can celebrate your BFP!!!

Thanks so much Sunny, your support is all you have to say. xoxo

Welcome Steph, we would be glad to have you join!

How are you doing Amber?? Do you think you have O'd??

 

[AmberR]

Jmack- I'm kind of in limbo here as I'm not sure if I have O'd or not... AF is due by the 18th so just waiting to see what happens. No unusual symptoms or anything like that for me!

 

[steph1607]

Thank you ladies!

Amber do you have a fairly regular cycle and everything? I think seeing the doctor can only be a good thing really if you're concerned it's taking longer than you thought, hopefully everything is all fine and dandy and you can just continue trying without too much stress (which is much easier for me to say than to actually do myself!).

Fingers crossed for you Jmack!

 

[SunnyBe]

Welcome Steph! That's great that you went through all the tests already and they haven't found anything except PCOS. Women with PCOS can easily get pregnant using Clomid or Metformin so it definitely seems that you're on the right track!

Are you using OPK's or do you take your temperature to confirm your ovulation?

 

[steph1607]

Hi Sunny!

Yeah, I'm glad it's just the one issue for now - although I had no symptoms at all other than absent periods so it was still a bit of a shock. It's hard when you come off birth control to imagine anything other than getting pregnant within a few months.

I haven't been using OPKs because apparently they often aren't accurate with PCOS anyway. As this is my first cycle of Clomid, I've also decided to not temp yet in the hopes that I would just relax a bit more rather than monitoring everything. So really the only signs of O that I would be able to notice would be if I had any stomach pain or changes in CM.
