[banana07]

Hey mama - yeah I usually disappear from here once AF arrives till near ov which is about 2 weeks I guess I just try not to think about it and get stressed out when there is not a single thing I can do at least after O can torture myself smyptom spotting!!! On CD15 so a little freaked out incase I have already just fingers crossed I haven't and its CD19 as usual. POAS this morning and not even a hint of a tint of a line on the ic opk. Have to say I don't like them maybe its ok going from the IC to the fancy ones but not going from the fancy ones to the IC Take note Issac you'll be addicted to the nice smiley ones. I'm going into town today so might cave and get them!!!

Hope your having a fab time mamamac - and hope there's plenty of bd just incase you never know where you are in your cycle!!!

Hey banana I used the digital ones to help get my bfp with my ds & my first pregnancy & yes its a wonderful sight when you see that smiley face! But saying that I really love the ic too just thought I'd take a different approach this month but I probably will use ic opk's going to compare them, I think the ic opk are more sensitive than digital ones!
I get all my opk's of amazon so much cheaper, this month I am not buying any hpts so I can't test early! Cd 15 is still very early for you hun try not to worry about it I know its hard, this is where charting would ease your worry. Any ewcm?

Hey runnergrl! Really sorry to hear your devastating news, what an awful time for you & family, I do stalk few girls who got their bfps on here just to check progress & was gutted when I found out about you last week. Wanted to give you space so didn't contact you! I have also had a missed mc so if you need to talk about it that's fine, any questions etc. We started again after I got one normal period but you'll know when to try again. Will & have been praying for you & your family.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Cd 1 for me today ladies just got up & have been rudely visited by AF! Oh well onwards & upwards so knew I would get it so its not come as a shock!

 

[Hann12]

Runnergrl I'm so sorry you lost her, I really hope that you and your family are able to support and comfort each other at this time. I'll be hoping that you get your rainbow baby very soon.

 

[Hann12]

Boo to AF Isaacralph but at least you knew it was coming and are onto the next one!

Mama - your chart does still look like you ov!

Hi banana, hope you didn't miss the egg!!

Marie - so relieved that everything is still okay for you and baby is safe and happy.

Afm - having a lovely holiday so far. It's weird because with my DD I was sick by now and I'm not yet. I have a bit of a painful tummy sometimes, feel dizzy if I don't eat a lot and I'm tired almost constantly but apart from that I feel fine. It's worrying me a bit as I don't have many symptoms, really hope the baby is in there still growing!!

Hey hun try not to worry about your lack of pregnancy symptoms, dizziness is a good one! I'm pretty sure you'll experience some nausea soon. How about this as a theory as you've already been pregnant & been exposed to high level of prog & hcg maybe it's just not as sensitive to it anymore?? You didn't really have any early symptoms (before bfp) too either if I remember rightly but you did with dd! Every pregnancy is different so try not to expect the exact same. Just enjoy your hols & i'll be looking forward to hearing about your scan. X

Good morning!

runnergrl- So sorry for your loss. We would love to have you back when you are ready.

banana- Hope you didn't miss the egg and are able to catch it soon!

Mama- your chart is still looking good. Yay for O!

Isaac- Boo for AF, but like you said, onwards and upwards to a fresh new cycle!

Hann- like Isaac said, try not too worry about lack of symptoms. It must be really hard not to compare to your first, but like we always hear, every pregnancy is different!

AFM- temp still up but I am not sleeping very well these days. I always seem to wake up before I am supposed to. I had to discard yesterdays because I woke up so many times throughout the night. I thought that restless nights of sleep would cause temps to be higher than normal but after doing some research, I found that it actually causes them to be lower than they actually are. I take my temps at 7:20am and this morning I woke up at 6am and went back to bed. I should have just temped then, but didn't and my temp was still high, so it may have been higher if I hadn't woken up! Oh well, still above the coverline, so I am happy!

 

[Hann12]

Thank you both, I know I'm probably being silly! Hopefully you are right and I'm just better at coping this time.

Elt - it's funny because I always heard that if you had a bad nights sleep your temp should be higher but it happened to me a few times that my temp was lower so I would agree with that. If you think your temp prob would have been higher this morning then your temps would look very good post ovulation. Actually very similar to my BFP chart. Fx!!

Afternoon everyone

Runnergirl - I'm so sorry about your little angel, you are in all our thoughts and prayers as the girls said whenever your ready to come back to us we'll all be here for you x you're the reason we are all here together after starting up this thread. I can't imagine how you feel but try to stay strong x

Issac - sorry the witch got you - at least you knew it was coming but its still horrible x

Hann - def don't worry about the lack of symptoms - I had none at all with DS sometimes had to make them up to people to feel "normal"!!

Afm, not sure now if I missed the egg or not think I might just have panicked. CD16 now and had a pretty faint line on the ic opk this morning and for the first time every a tiny bit of ewcm last night just a tiny bit but as I said never ever had it before. Bd last night but didn't use the preseed there was no time it just kinda happened!! Was going to go for it again this morning but I woke up late and had to get dinner ready before DH went to work, he said he was tired but if I need the sperm he was game!! Told him its grand until he gets home tonight. I ready somewhere you can't do it too much during O as his guys need time to regroup or he'll only be shooting blanks if its done too much so will be 24hours when he comes home tonight. Plus the line on the OPk is only very very faint (but were stark white last 2 days) so its prob still a bit early if I am on track to Ov as usual on CD19 which is 3 days away. DH is going into hosp to get a camera into his stomach on Tuesday which is of course the day before usual Ov so hopefully he'll still be up for bd that night !! Thats about it for me really, just chilling on a Sunday afternoon with DS while DH is at work Hope everyone having a nice weekend

Just found this made me laugh and cry at same time!!

This is a collection of thoughts from women facing the emotional roller coaster of infertility. Some of it may make you cry, some of it may make you smile. The important thing is to realize that you are not alone in your struggle. Infertility may be the most difficult time of your life spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically and mentally. If you are personally experiencing infertility (TTC longer than 12 months) my heart and prayers go out to you. God bless you.

Says its about infertility - don't think any of us are quite there yet but its all relative to ttc!! Def worth a look!!

Ha made me snort!!

Great lazy sunday evening reading!!1

[elt1013]

Haha, I read them both. Very good reads and helps you see yourself in alot of them!

 

[Hann12]

Just read them, some of them were so funny while others were extremely sad. Really highlights the TTC rollercoster of emotions!

How's everyones temps this morning?

Banana I love reading your posts be ause they are so Irish - the way you write is exactly how you speak, it's great! I used to work in an Irish bar in sydney and it brings back memories when you say things like 'it's grand'. Sorry I had to tell you that!!

I'm excited to see how mamas getting on when she gets back on!!

I did my final digi this morning, you know how they take 2 minutes to process, well it took less than 20 seconds and there it was 3+ - a lovely sight to greet me! Felt a bit more nauseous this morning too but that could be because I was up half the night with my DD. she normally sleeps pretty well but I guess as we are on holiday she's decided she is in a strange place so we are getting night wake ups!

 

[banana07]

Ha Hann - so many people say that about me even my real life friends do be laughing at me when I e-mail or text them say I type exactly as I talk so I might be saying one thing and change my mind and instead of just deleting what I already typed I'll just say "actually no scrap that" etc.. I think its cause i type so fast I don't think about it like I'm typing it littearly just flows from my head to my fingers!!! I don't look at the keyboard or anything so half the time I'm chatting away to someone else while typing to ye!! Its just like one big conversation!!

Yeah for you and your big 3+ and cannot wait to see how mamamac is getting on I think AF is due for her tomorrow but hopefully not!!!

Afm, really starting to worrry that I missed the egg don't feely ovulatey at all (yes that is a new word I just made up I think!!!). POAS yesterday evening after my very faint line yesterday morning but was stark white and again this morning stark white brough one into work with me as some say its better in late morning or mid afternoon for the surge. I always get my smiley face on my digi on CD18 today is CD17 and the ic is stark white. Wish I had just got the smiley face and spent the money this squinting and guessing is killing me!! Bd Saturday night and last night (used the preseed last night) and hopefully again tonight and tomorrow night.

Still very tempted to go and by the digi OPKs and hope the IC just don't really work for me but they €27 already spent €60 this month getting the preseed, IC OPKS and Preg Tests - Confused....

 

[banana07]

Also wish I hand dont the bbt thing -althought I had decided to do one new thing a month and this month was the preseed so next month which I'm already certain there will be will be the bbt.

 

[banana07]

* Wish I had done....

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning girls!

Runnergrl - I'm so sorry for your loss. We've all been keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. We're all here for you!

Isaac - Sorry about the getting ya hun, but at least you were expecting it. On to a new fresh cycle! Fx for you!

Hann - glad your test today came out positive so fast! Hopefully that helps put your mind at ease about the milder symptoms. Every pregnancy is different I'd be stressing about it too but try not to worry too much.

Banana - sounds like you guys are covering the bd bases! Hope you get your positive opk soon! Fx What is your hubby having the stomach test thing done for? Everything okay?

Afm - Had a great weekend with DH Can't believe we've been married 2 years! In some ways it seems we've been married for ages but it other ways it seems like our wedding was yesterday! Ya know? Time is crazy! As for TTC my temps from last few days are looking good...nice high temp tho morning But still stark white negative on hpt. I'm not holding out much hope for a but I'm hoping AF starts in next day or so to at least confirm ovulation. That would be great as I'd have the confirmation and better knowledge for timing etc for opk and bd next cycle. I was reading about charting with pcos and it said to watch for the shift to higher temps but don't sweat a dip below cover line a couple times as long as most temps are higher than normal and I think mine look that way so I'm hoping it's really happened My nipples have been slowly getting a bit more sore each day. Last night and this morning they're very sore so hopefully that's a good sign for either bfp or AF. Ff has me set to start AF tomorrow. Will test again tomorrow morning but if it's negative again I'm going to stop testing with or without AF. If nothing happens for a week or two I'll try testing again. Hopefully I get a positive or at least start spotting tomorrow. Fx!

 

[MamaMac123]

Banana - just checked out those links you shared...laughed and cried! So many of them already apply and I'm only 5 months into the journey. My heart goes out so much to th girls who've been trying so much longer this is such a hard road to travel. I just hope and pray there will be a baby for us at the end to make the hard journey worth it all.

Back to symptom spotting...over weekend I got massive heartburn several times...this morning I have heartburn from a bowl of rice krispies and milk! What's up with that??

As mentioned before my nipples are way sore. Also been feeling crampy and bloated past couple days. Everything seems very AF related except the heartburn. That's the one that seems out of place to me. :shrugs:
