TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

Wow mama those temps are so erratic aren't they? Would you consider taking vaginal temps or do you already? I'm with you on the no will power tested again today even though I know i'm not even going to get a bfp, just in case some miracle was to have occurred since yesterday & guess what bfn! Well I has at dentist app & I was like yeah go ahead & xray me so i'm really hoping AF turns up, i'm 99% sure it will. When I was pregnant with ds about 2 days before I found out I was exposed to a patient who'd just had nuclear medicine, that kinda stuff freaks me right out!

Yikes! That would have freaked me out too! I don't vaginal temp now but thinking I may try next cycle. Don't want to switch midcycle if I can avoid it. Need to read up on it though as it sort of freaks me out a bit haha and I'll need to get a new bbt thermometer as the one I use now is for family use....guessing no one else wants to use it after I go THAT route!!! Haha Do you vaginal temp? Anyone else? Wouldn't mind some advice on how

 

[MamaMac123]

Just because it's interesting with respect to my crazy up and down temps...I thought I'd share a couple of the charts I found on FF that help me feel more calm about my nutty temps! These charts are all people with pcos and on metformin like me:

Here's a couple where the temp rise is pretty subtle compared to pre o temps to indicate ovulation:

And here's a couple with very erratic post ov temps like I've been having:

Thought you guys might be interested to see them...makes me feel like my crazy chart is actually pretty normal for my situation. Still so annoying though! I can see why temping is frustrating with pcos! But it's nice knowing its not just me!

 

[MamaMac123]

Feels like a ghost town in here where is everyone? Hope everyone is doing well.

Isaac- any luck testing or has AF made her appearance?

Hann - how's your little bean? Any morning sickness yet?

Banana - miss ya! Haven't heard from you in awhile. How's it going?

Everyone else? So quiet.....

Afm - temp up a bit today which is good, though I woke up sweating and expected it to have skyrocketed. But I'll take what I can get Still stark white on the hpt. Hubby asked about it and told him its still pretty early. He laughed and asked why I'm using tests then...so I had to try and explain poas syndrome lol I don't think he got it, though I offered to let him try poas so he could see how fun it is haha

Only other thing with me is I'm symptom spotting like crazy! Feel exhausted...last night I went to bed around 8:30 and slept till 5 am. Also last few days while I've been tired earlier I've been popping out of bed at 5 when I temp. Im usually still sleepy and go back to bed after temping but not the last 3 days or so, and last night was the only night I really gave in and went to bed early...not sure if that's any sort of symptom, just something I've noticed. Also been mildly crampy, sore nipples, constipated the last few days (sorry tmi! Lol) and noticeably way more cm than usual. Very watery and slightly sticky but not stretchy like Ewcm. Anyway, as with most of us Im sure prob all in my head....but it's fun to notice things and then look it up and discover its an early pregnancy sign. I'm 11dponow...was hoping this morning I'd see that line but I guess it's still on the earlier side and if I have a longer LP it's still prob much too soon. Ff predicts AF on Tuesday so I guess I'm not out till then at least. Or unless AF shows her face before then. Fx! to you all!

I'm here mama...I had to work a long shift yesterday with my headache, but it feels much better today so far. Your chart does look pretty consistant with those others, so I wouldn't worry about it, (I know easier said than done). I temp vaginally and find my temps way more consistant since doing so. I just have a seperate bbt therm and I also buy the little disposable therm covers, which are super cheap and use those, so they can be thrown away after (no clean up). It's something that is a little weird at first, but you will get used to it! I would never go back to oral since my temps seemed to be all over the place before vaginal temping.

It appears you ladies were right and I got my crosshairs today! I put the 2 charts back together because no crosshairs otherwise. My temps are way higher this cycle than my other post O temps on other charts, but oh well, I am going with it. I am not holding out much hope for a bfp because we didn't bd the day before or day of O, just 2 days before but atleast I did ovulate and hopfully my cycles with get back on track!

I know it's not much but when I was talking to my doc she said 2 days b4 O is still really good and honestly I think we BD 2 days b4 and day after O and we got it keep ur head high ur day is comin

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama- that sounds so promising. I hope you get a BFP soon. Poor hubbies just don't understand that need to POAS. Lol. My DH is the same way.

AFM I'm extremely tired. Every night this week I have almost fell asleep at the dinner table. I've had this nausea issue and going to the bathroom a lot. I also got some pretty sever indigestion and heartburn yesterday too. I'm on a prescription medication for acid reflux so it's bad when I have break through. All of this could be chalked up to my upper resp issues so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'll start POAS next Saturday if AF hasn't shown up.

 

[MamaMac123]

Happycpl - your symptoms sound promising. Heartburn is another thing I've had a few times this week. I used to get it regularly but haven't had it for a long time now so it may just be what it's always been but I wonder if it's a symptom (of course! Lol) Excited forgo to test!!

Jessica - thanks I remember you got your later on so I'm clinging to that a bit as the days go by with nothing hehe

Elt - yay! I really thought it looked like you'd ovulated! Glad you finally did and Jessica is right, it's less odds but not impossible to get a from 2 days before ovulating. Fx for you! Either way at least this should get you AF if not a and you can move on to a new month and leave this crazy cycle behind!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hi girls! Yeah happycpl your symptoms sound really promising so fx'd for you, I get all those everymonth during tww especially bad heartburn worse between about 6-9dpo. I've just got my pre AF cramps at the moment & boobs Feel bruised, ouch! Can't wait to start a fresh this month.

Elt- hurrah for the eventual ovulation, maybe you'll just get your bfp this month seen as your cycle has been so wacky!be excited cuz you ladies will be testing around the same time, I fear I may be the last on here, he he!

mama- I think with your symptoms you most Defo have ovulated, it's either pms related symptoms or bfp symptoms either good news for you but the latter better, fx'd

han are you on hols? have an amazing relaxing time & when your back you'll be due your scan & get to see your beany baby x

Afm- just waiting for AF 14dpo today & its gearing up to start maybe tomoz or sunday. oh oh & my posh cb digital opks have arrived excited to start poas, what are us girls like!

Jessica- hope you & the beam are well

 

[Hann12]

Hi I am on holiday but I am still reading and thinking of you all! Hoping to see some good news very soon!

 

[MamaMac123]

Isaac - have you tested at all again? Pretty sure AF coming? Good luck with new cycle if that's the case. And enjoy the fancy pee sticks

Hann - yay for holidays! Hope you're enjoying them!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hann - yay for holidays! Hope you're enjoying them!

Hey mama no haven't tested as i'm pretty sure AF is coming! Oh & the fact I've ran out of boys thankgod, & mark my words girls I'm not going to be testing so soon!

 

[marieb]

Hey that's good I love those home dopplers! I had brown spotting for about 3 days before bleeding but please do not worry cuz my pregnancy never developed like yours! My baby never made past 5 weeks & they only discovered this until nearly 11 weeks. I just had empty sac on ultrasound

That must have been devastating! I'm so glad you had a healthy baby afterwards.


I just wanted to update you all on what ended up happenig with the spotting. I made an appointment with my family doctor and after checking me over she thought she could feel something either on my cervix, or actually coming out of the opening. She told me it could be anything from membranes expelling (so inevitable miscarriage) to a polyp or a wart (although I was skeptical about that since I don't have hpv). I was sent for an emergency ultrasound and fortunately baby was fine. The thing on my cervix turned out to be a polyp which apparently is pretty common in pregnancy. I'm making a follow up appointment with my doctor next week as i don't know very much about them.

Oh thankgod marie what a relief so glad you & baby are ok! They found I had similar when.pg with ds too it was called an ectropian or something like that but thankfully mine never bled! So pleased for you hun

 

[MamaMac123]

Marieb - soooo glad the baby is okay! Glad you got some quick answers and all is well.

Isaac - haha yes....running out of boys would be a tragedy on another level entirely. Can't exactly surf over to amazon and buy more!

 

[banana07]

Omg that just took forever to catch up I only left for a week or so!!!

Gonna try and and catch everyone here!!1

ELT - great you have now O'd Hopefully you'll catch that egg remember it only takes 1 sperm!!!

Hann – hearing all them super sad mc stories must be so awful, same as most people I have such a fear of it but fx everything is ok for you. How far are you gone now?? and hope you get sorted with the right hospital Oh and enjoy your hols

Issac ralph – Glad you had a lovely relaxing holiday and ttc was only in the back of your mind as apposed to the usual forefront!!! Sorry about the bfn . This first month I didn’t get the fancy digi opks used an IC OPK yesterday can’t believe how small they are!!! I love the digi so much fun when he finally smiles back at you might cave and get them yet this month will see!!

Glad all is ok Marie B 

Can’t believe it about runnergirl she must have been a good while on 

Squeezena – welcome

mamamac - glad you missed me!!! - Hope your hanging on in there in the awful 2ww - hopefully your hotel weekend will take your mind of it for a while and def hope AF doesn't show up to ruin it fx!!

Afm - still sitting here waiting to O - although am starting to panic last 2 cycles O'd on CD19 tested from about CD12/14. I haven't tested at all really (well last night before bed but it was almost pure water not urine!! - just wanted to test my new IC OPKS) anyway it was stark white but as I said was almost water so wouldn't count anyway. But today I just have a gut instinct that I have already O'd dunno why, I don't temp or anything just and instinct - really really hope its wrong as we haven't b'd all week, we're just ships passing in the night I'm working days and DH is working nights and I'm getting all my monthly waxing done tomorrow morning so its my hairy week!!! I feel really really sick this evening (usually the day of and/or day after i O. Also have some CM which I only get around O. Am just devestated - didn't do an OPK this morning as slept in and ran out the door prop no point now at 11pm. This is only my 3rd cycle so O could easily change before it settles after no O or AF for 5 years . Oh and I have plenty of lower right cramps this eve too. I have O'd haven't I?? - We have no chance so this month no Bd since last weekend 6 days ago

 

[banana07]

100% Neg on the OPK just now 11pm (medium yellow urine).

 

[MamaMac123]

Welcome back banana! Bummer about the no bd...hopefully you haven't ovulated yet. What cd are you on now?

I'm not even 100% sure I've ovulated. Every time I decide I must have my temp goes back down. I'm actually pretty surprised ff hasn't taken my crosshairs back. Really wish I'd OPK'd so I'd know for sure. Oh well....still in the 2ww if I did so we'll see.

Prob won't be on over the weekend (unless I magically get a to report!) so I'll see you all after our weekend getaway
