TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[jmack54]

Good vibes for you Steph!! BFP! BFP!!! Keep us posted! And enjoy your 3-day weekend... might just be a UK thing? What is it for?

 

[steph1607]

We always have a Bank Holiday for the first Monday in May, and the last 😃

 

[jmack54]

Ugh jealous!! I think I'll be moving over to the UK now...

 

[steph1607]

And then one in August too. And if Labour win the election in June they say they'll be creating 4 more, one for each patron saint of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland 😂

Nice Steph I wish we had more days off here in the US! I can't complain too much though as DH and I both get to work from home a lot. I hope the 100 mg of Clomid does the trick

I love that you're apparently sending out these pregnancy vibes jmack, maybe they're really on to something I just want one of you to get that BFP to give me some faith that it'll happen. It just seems so unlikely that none of us have gotten pregnant yet. I think we just need a bit of good luck to start off a pregnancy-streak!

Your chart is already looking amazing babylights! Progesterone symptoms suck though and it's so hard not to symptom spot. Just keep in mind that it's a necessary evil as we need that progesterone for sustaining pregnancy

Welcome babyme! Keeping my FX for you this cycle.

 

[jmack54]

I was thinking the same thing SunnyBe!! Just based on odds alone one of us is bound to get a BFP soon!! It will be super exciting for everyone when one of us does

It's funny because after long enough of ttc with no BFP you start to think it is less likely that it will happen this time, when in reality it is actually MORE likely that it will happen!!

 

[babylights]

welcome babyme! gl this month!

jmack umm that is all kinds of amazing!!! Timing-wise it makes sense too, you're the first to test, everything crossed that you kick it off lady!

steph lucky you!! sending so many good bfp thoughts!

sunny working from home is the best! Any fun plans for the weekend??

afm I was just thinking that I never have any pregnancy dreams, I only have super weird action alien movie type dreams lol. The progesterone symptoms continue...it feels like I'm about to get af any second, it's throwing me off!

 

[jmack54]

Bahaha babylights your dreams sound amazing!!

It is snowing so much here!! We are having a snow day just watching movies and started a fire. I'm trying not to symptom spot so early it's so hard not to!!!

 

[steph1607]

Oh guys, DH and I went to a house party last night- I decided not to drink because I didn't want to feel bad today and thought it won't hurt to keep my body toxin free... well obviously everyone was making irritating jokes about me being pregnant. I get it so often and it honestly feels like I'm being kicked in the stomach each time. I know it's only natural because we're married and settled and all that, but I just wish people would think. You just never know what anyone's going through. Wish I wasn't so sensitive.

 

[jmack54]

Oh steph im so sorry girl. I totally understand. The same thing happened to me last cycle at a big group brunch, I wasn't drinking and one girl I'm not close with loudly announced to the table "are you pregnant!" And then everyone was joining in laughing and asking and even the waitress was like no drinks for this girl! Shes pregnant! It felt terrible and ruined my day. I also have people asking me excitedly a lot if we are going to have a baby and it gets really old because you don't want to explain your whole story. This experience will definitely change the way I think about and speak to other women in the future!

 

[jmack54]

Girls I'm in rough shape! I woke up today with a really bad cough almost bronchitis feeling and some mild chills. Ugh. Not feeling good at all I'm too worried about meds in the TWW. Does anyone know what is safe to take? Tylenol? Mucinex?

 

[babylights]

jmack I'm sorry! I'm in the same boat, my sore throat turned into a full on cold, cough, fever, the works! Ive just been taking Tylenol and will probably use the Neti Pot. fx it's for a good reason for us both!

 

[AmberR]

Sorry you are feeling ill ladies! Wishing you a speedy recovery! I'm not sure about which meds are safe to take. Feel better soon!

 

[SunnyBe]

Hi girls!

Sorry you're both feeling shitty Tylenol should be relatively safe in early pregnancy, while other OTC drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen are associated with a higher miscarriage rate, take a look:

Results 53 women (5%) reported prenatal NSAID use around conception or during pregnancy. After adjustment for potential confounders, prenatal NSAID use was associated with an 80% increased risk of miscarriage (adjusted hazard ratio 1.8 (95% confidence interval 1.0 to 3.2)). The association was stronger if the initial NSAID use was around the time of conception or if NSAID use lasted more than a week. Prenatal aspirin use was similarly associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. However, prenatal use of paracetamol, pharmacologically different from NSAIDs and aspirin, was not associated with increased risk of miscarriage regardless of timing and duration of use.

I hope y'all feel better soon!

 

[jmack54]

Thanks so much ladies! I called out of work today to rest. Hubby is making me tea and soup. Taking some Tylenol to keep the fever down, just hoping this doesn't hurt chances of implantation!

Babylights I'm sorry you are sick too!! Glad we are in the same boat love. You think it
Could be a good sign?? Xoxo

 

[babylights]

Thanks all! ❤️

amber, steph, sunny - how are you ladies??

jmack they say Early Pregnancy Factor suppresses the immune system soooo...
haha meanwhile I've been feeling exactly like af is coming 😂 Just with a constantly leaking nose lol

 

[steph1607]

Ooh sorry to hear you guys are sick. I had a cold last week and woke up so excited thinking it was a sign 😂

Thanks Jmack, you're right, my fertility problems have definitely made me much more aware of things that people are going through that we have no idea about.

Day 3 of Norethisterone and starting to feel a little low and I can see my skin getting bad 😫

Hope you're all having a good Monday, can't believe we're in the fifth month already!

 

[SunnyBe]

Hi girls! How are you feeling today?

How long are you supposed to take Norethisterone Steph? And how long until AF starts after you stop?

Any sign of ovulation Amber?

Not much going on here. Still a week- 10 days until O so I'm just patiently waiting

 

[steph1607]

I take it 3 times a day for 5 days and then AF is supposed to come about 3 days later. Although my AF is generally about 2 days of spotting and that's that. Which causes me worries too, although the consultant says not to!

 

[jmack54]

Not feeling too good- I have a fever of 100.4, really hoping this doesn't hurt my chances this cycle
