TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[elt1013]

Oh geez...I just typed a ton and lost it all, so I guess I will do a shorter version, lol.

Happy- don't give up, we WILL get there, but like runnergrl said, it just takes a little more time for some of us than others unfortunately! Like Isaac, I also try not to get too excited about symptoms in the tww, because mine always seem to lead to AF!

Isaac- It is nice to have a cycle buddy, but I also find it nice to have us all spread out, because you ladies give me something to look forward to when my AF comes and you are in a much more exciting part of your cycle!

Mama- Yay for AF coming on her own, but boo for the uncertainty with your cycle! I will likely be right behind you with AF soon, as she is due tmrw.

 

[elt1013]

Good morning everyone...do I seem to be the only one left at the end of the tww now? Well, 12dpo, BFN again, and a very small temp dip this morning but no where near my usual pre AF dive. I have started breaking out with pimples the last couple days though, so I think she's right around the corner, unfortunately!
TMI, but I am getting somewhat irritated with all the increased cm this cycle (even DH has commented on the abundance several times). It is really nice before O, but when waiting for AF, it is really annoying to have to run to the bathroom all the time because I think she has arrived. I have had TONS of watery and ewcm everyday after O except 1dpo (so much that a liner is needed at all times). I normally have some (but not a ton) of creamy cm until AF like most people I think. Any of you ladies had this issue before?

Banana- how is the tww treating you so far?

Hope everyone else is getting along ok aswell!

Mama I am so excited to see that you have AF!! Def try soy, I've seen loads of people in similar situations to yours get BFP with soy. I have my FX for you!!

Happycpl - it sounds like a chilled NTNP month might be a good plan, stress is def not good for TTC, I've heard loads of stories of people stopping trying and getting their BFP too!

Elt - that's a shame about the temp dip but you aren't out yet! Your LP has increased so even if you get AF it's a big improvement!

Banana - how are you getting on?

IssacRalph - started opking?

Runnergrl - I have a July daughter and think its a lovely time to have a baby do have my FX for you!

Hey han, how are you feeling my lovely?
No not started opking yet don't Feel the urge to yet, usually start around cd 10, ooh & I've got some lovely clearblue digital ones too! Started official bding today though, so yes that magical time is upon us again, how quick has that come around?

Mama- Woohoo get you with a shorter cycle & now to ovulate for sure! Wishing you all the luck with the soy, it can't hurt!

Elt- also get you 12dpo with no AF, boo for bfn but hey you could still very well get your bfp & if not a longer LP! As far as copious cm the only time I get this is few days before ov & then I just get a bit of creamy cm in tww, only other time over lots of cm is when i'm pregnant! Fx'd its a good sign??

Happycpl- hope your feeling ok, hope you'll check in from time to time!

runnergrl- hope your ok?

 

[banana07]

Hey girls

Mamamac Yeah and Neah for AF!!!

Happycpl - I'm so sorry about the BFN - they are just heartbreaking but we all know exactly how you feel - def take a break if we haven't got ours by 6 months / Christmas (currently in cycle 3) I'll prob give up for a while - Good luck and don't forget to come back to us when your ready!!

ELT - Any sign of AF?? & IssacRalph - good luck with the lovey digis!!!

Hann - that pic just made my day can't believe after all our chatting and ranting that's what its all about in the end - I sometimes get so worked up about the whole thing signs, symptoms, POAS, timings etc.. forget why I'm actually doing it - WELL DONE YOU!!

Afm, nothing much happening - symptom spotting like mad - swore I wouldn't promised myself I wouldn't but been googling so much at this stage I have estabilshed breathing is an early sign of pregnancy!!!

So I have (but not getting excited cause I bloody do this everymonth) = CD23 / 5dpo (I think !)

Lots of Creamy CM - not usual for me
Bad cramps yesterday lighter today
Boobs just started to feel heavy today - not sore yet just very heavy.

So the only thing diff this cycle is the Creamy CM. Don't think my boobs get this sore this early but also didn't think I had cramps this early before but when I googled 5dpo cramps it came up in the search engine in purple so I have obv looked it up before. Fullying expecting to get AF as nothing different to other months so far but another 9 - 10 days to testing so we'll see!!!



Anyway have to DH & DS uniforms now and then off to bed is nearly midnight and I'm exausted


No reason at all for this guy just think he's cute!!! Shakin his Ass!!!!

 

[elt1013]

Hehe...you crack me up banana!

And nope, no sign of AF yet, so atleast it is looking like an atleast 12 LP if she doesn't arrive tonight!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hehe, Banana you're so cute!

Elt - fx!!!! I'm so excited for u! Are u testing in am??? Even if not bfp still exciting to see your LP get better!!! Got my fx for a positive though!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Wow no posts today! Hope everyone's doing alright

Not much to report here...just waiting for AF to exit...pretty light today so may be over in a day or so.

Picked up my soy today going to start it Wed (cd5) fx it gets results!!!

I just worked a long shift today but I am here! Good luck with the soy...maybe it will do the trick.

afm- 13dpo, no AF and BFN but my temp took quite a dive today, so AF should be here in a day or 2. Yay for atleast a 13 LP!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey Elt - sorry about the temp drop but for the increase in LP!!!! That's a good sign

 

[banana07]

Hey Girls, yeah it is very quite in here lately!!!

ELT great on the longer LP but I know how it feels my LP was 2 days longer last month went from 10days to 12days was so excited that I was 2 days late even tho I was getting bfn's and then Boom there she was the witch. It was mixed feelings, happy the lp was longer but sad to get excited over being late

Mamamac - yeah its borning waiting for AF to leave - not much to do regarding ttc. Hope the Soy works for you, I don't know anything about it - what is it for??

AFM, More symptoms spotting like crazy really wish I could be just like my friends and just not think about it!!!

So an update on my probably nothing but i'm going to obsess over them symptoms are:

Creamy light yellow cm yesterday and day before - nothing today (apparently this can be the mucus plug forming - lots of stories of BFP after getting this)
Can barely walk my boobs are so sore today yesterday they were just heavy not sore.
Sides of my boobs were also very itchy yesterday - I know it sound odd but google says it quite normal ??
I've had pretty bad heartburn last few days only easing off today
Constant cramps since Ov worst 2 days ago (5dpo) and easing of now but still the odd twing.

I really don't want to get over excited as I've had most of this before in the tww esp the boobs and cramps - felt pregnant last if that makes sense but then also thought I'm 7dpo today if my lp were to go back to 10days it would mean AF is just around the corner so I dunno...... Cannot handle this waiting any more!!!!!

 

[Hann12]

Banana I definitely had a lot of cm before my bfp, so a very good sign - although it's not the mucus plug as that doesn't form until later but it's the body change in hormones etc that causes it. The heartburn is a good sign too, I had that badly with my DD! Not so much with this one. I have my fx for you!

Sorry not been on much - feeling mega pukey

 

[IsaacRalph]

Awww banana those symptoms sound excellent, not long until testing time i'm really gonna try my best not to test until AF due this month, Haha who am I trying to kid!

Elt- hey sorry about the bfns & dip in temp but so pleased that LP is longer! You've gone from having short cycles to a long one this month I bet you'll be glad to start again!

Mama- glad your AF is tailing off you'll soon be poas,

Han- you ok, your very quiet?

Afm- starting to poas today cd 10, had some ewcm & feeling a bit tender around the ovary area. Not really sticking to smep, can't wait to sew my smiley face, hoping I don't ovulate for a bit as I have my ultrasound next tues would love to see the little follie! Anyway at work, catch you all laterz

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning everyone!

Banana - I swear symptom spotting is impossible to ignore! Yours sound like good ones! Fx!!!!

Hann - sorry you're feeling yucky but it is a good sign of a healthy little bean so much as its miserable it is good news hang in there!!

Isaac - hooray for poas! fx for your up coming scan! Would be neat to see your follicle.

Question...all the 21 day bloods and follicle scans etc...is that normal each month while ttc when you're working with a doc? Hoping we won't need it but wondering/hoping that the new doc I see in Nov will actually know about and offer all this stuff to me...my family doc of course hasn't and as I've mentioned doesn't seem to have a clue about ttc! I swear I know more than she does! Just hoping all these tests etc I hear you guys talk about are things I will actually have access to if needed.

Afm - my temps the last 4 days have been pretty steady which is new haha so that's nice. Hoping maybe this cycle they'll be a bit more in line...probably wishful thinking. I'm sure they'll be doing the up and down thing in a day or two here...but I'm hoping. Starting my soy tomorrow! Banana, soy is supposed to help ovulation in a similar way as clomid. Its believed it can block your estrogen sensors in the body to make the body believe it needs more estrogen and thus increasing its production. By doing so it can help boost egg quality and help force ovulation in someone like me who doesn't ovulate on their own. With clomid, I've read to take it sooner in cycle (cd1-5) to increase number of eggs released (and possible multiples) and to take it later (cd5-9) for less eggs or simgle egg released but more mature and higher quality. Thus taking it (cd3-7) to get a mix of more mature eggs and higher quantity. I'm taking it 5-9 this cycle to give my body a few extra days to get the Vitex out of my system as you're not supposed to take both together. But if i don't get a bfp this cycle then I'll switch to cd3-7 next time. (assuming it works and causes ovulation of course!) I've read a lot of positive success stories where soy got people bfps the first cycle! I've heard some bad stories too but usually that's from people who have normal ovulating cycles and shouldn't have taken it in the first place. It can mess up a normal cycle as it messes with estrogen levels.

 

[Hann12]

I reckon you should be good with soy mama, I wasn't but I really shouldn't have taken it as I was estrogen dominant at the time! I have my FX for you!

 

[elt1013]

Banana- I always symptom spot...we just can't help it, but I try not to get too excited about the ones I get, so I don't get too disappointed when AF comes. I had the creamy yellowish cm thing a couple cycles ago also, but it didn't turn out to be anything for me, even though it seems to be something for some!

Hann- Sorry you are so sick...I know the feeling all too well. Hopefully it fades soon so you can enjoy your pregnancy a little more!

Isaac- Let the poas begin...yay!! And with the fancy smileys, which will be so nice.

Mama- So excited for you with the soy. It would be awesome to see a BFP on your first cycle with it!

AFM- Small temp rise today back a little above the coverline. So weird and confusing as I never get a rise again after the drop. And yes, it seems like this cycle has been forever long since I'm used to short cycles. At this point I would just like AF to start, as I think a 13 day LP is quite adequate. I didn't test today, but if AF doesn't come in a couple days, I suppose I will test again.

 

[MamaMac123]

Elt - very interesting about your temp rise...still no sign of AF? Could be a good sign fx!!!

 

[Hann12]

Okay sorry for the slightly off topic, but I know some of you have had scans before and know a thing or two. So in the first tri thread there is a thread about gender guessing using the ramzi method which apparently is that a girl implants on the left and a boy on the right - apparently 97% accurate (never sure on these stats!!). I put my scan pic up to see what they said and the girl wrote back boy because the placenta will be on the right. However I thought that a transvaginal scan shows the actual positions, so if it looks on the right as you look at it then its your left. Does that make sense and am i wrong? This girl says that right is right and that I'm wrong but I don't think I can be because if the scan is actual then you need to turn yourself as if you are in the scan and looking outwards and it would be on my left. I've attached the scan - what do you think??

 

[MamaMac123]

Sorry Hann....I've got no idea! Haha but that's a fun prediction theory! I've never heard of it

 

[IsaacRalph]

Nope you got me there han, no idea whatsoever! Are you hoping you have a certain sex & are you going to find out at 20weeks? How exciting!
