TTC #2 and looking for a buddy!

[jodi_19]

I only had one migraine during my pregnancy thankfully. Haven't had many headaches since. I've been having AF like cramps on and off today, think I'm nearing the end of this cycle.

 

[jodi_19]

Just went on ebay and ordered some preseed and ovulation test strips. I am ready for next cycle....if AF arrives.

 

[bjbarrachus]

Whoa Jodi! You can have AF symptoms and be prego, so stop being negative. That stuff you just bought, you are going to end up reposting it on ebay because you are not going to need it.

I didn't start getting headaches until after I had my son 7 years ago. They put me on bcontrol to help them, but that made me have severe migrains during AF. I stopped the bcontrol and have had headaches everyday since, until the 2nd of August, they just stopped. For the past two days I have had a very mild one, but not really a full headache. Still, I have no cramps, no AF, and this might be TMI, but I usually have to go potty a lot the day before or the day AF comes, and nothing. I don't get it.

 

[jodi_19]

I'm trying not to be negative! With my DD I didn't have any symptoms but I just "knew" I was preggo. I don't have that feeling this month. I figure by preparing for next cycle, just in case, I am being proactive...lol.
The headaches sound like a pain in the a**. I cannot take bcp because of the hormones. They give me headaches and make me sick, kind of like morning sickness. Hopefully you will get a BFP and the pregnancy hormones will help to straighten out your headaces
When are you testing again?

 

[enniejennie]

I agree with BJ, Jodi you can not count yourself out until the arrives. I can understand you on being prepared for the worst case senerio witch and have everything for the next cycle. (Which will not be for 10 months or so) I have already ordered my refill of clomid, prenatals, SC, and preseed ready just in case. Which I as well will not need any of that for the next year. LOL

FX for a of us to get 's!!!

Sorry I am trying to be positive as well. Hope it is not too much.

 

[jodi_19]

I go through phases thoughout the day. For a few hours I am totally determined that I am preggo and then all of a sudden it switches and I am sure I'm out. I feel like I am going insane!!
I've been doing a little bit of research on evening primrose oil. Do any of you girls take it?
I find I'm not having much ewcm lately. Before DD I used to have it all of the time. My CM is wet at the time of O but not stretchy. I was thinking I may try that next cycle as well.

 

[enniejennie]

I do the same thing through out the day Jodi!! But the past 2 days I am staying positive I am PG! 3 days late and not signs of AF are good signs for me!! FX for a tomorrow!!!

I have wondered about that evening primrose oil as well.

 

[jodi_19]

I am soooooo anxious to hear your good news tomorrow Ennie!

 

[enniejennie]

I will probrably test around 8:30am your time. As long as my temp stays up and AF stays away. FX!!

 

[bjbarrachus]

IDK if it is a good idea. You should talk to your doc about it. I use to take it, as a recomendation for my severe PMDD. I was reading about supplements the other day, and I read somewhere that evening primrose can work kind of like petosin and cause labor. Not that you can trust everything you read online, but I would def check with your doc before trying that one.

 

[jodi_19]

I've read that you should only take it from day one of your cycle up until ovulation ann then stop for that reason. I am going to mention it to my doc next time I see him but from what I've read it is perfectly safe to take up until O day. That's the only point you would need ewcm up until anyway!
I've read grapefruit juice is good for ewcm too butI can't stand it lol.

 

[jodi_19]

Oh, and Ennie I will be awake and waiting lol

 

[topazicatzbet]

i tried epo the cycle before i fell pg with callum, it messed me up. i always had a really regular cycle and it made me ov on cd18 instead of 16 and lp of 18 instead of 16.

have you tried grapefruit juice, i found that worked reall well.

 

[bjbarrachus]

btw, that stupid ff, said I might be ovulating today, and it doesn't think I have ovulated at all! Like I need to be more confused

 

[bjbarrachus]

grapefruit is nasty though! yuck! LOL

 

[bjbarrachus]

How can you tell if your CP is open, it always seems the same to me?

 

[enniejennie]

Wow BJ FF is all over for you! I have heard if you can put the tip of your finger in it , then it is open. I have also heard that it feels like a cheerio center (if you know what that feels like) LOL

I actually like grapefruit juice. LOL

 

[jodi_19]

When my cervix is open I can fit the tip of my finger in. I've heard that it can sometimes always feel open if you've already had a baby. Mine still closes pretty tight but I guess it could have something to do with the fact that I had a c section and not a vaginal birth.

 

[bjbarrachus]

I had a c-section too, but I have never felt a cheerio or been able to stick my finger in it. Maybe I missed that one day it was like that. If thats the case, I'm not open right now, so how could AF show?

 

[jodi_19]

Mine doesn't open for AF like it does for ovulation. Do you check you cervix throughout your cycle?
