TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Mama i love your story, make me feel better that its not just me surrounded by stupid family! Hope you feel better about it all now though. I let things upset me too.

As for CM - yes I had a lot of creamy CM, and some snot like stuff. Nowadays I have shed loads of every kind. Almost makes me laugh at times because while TTC I hardly ever got EWCM and now that its not necessary I have bucket loads of the stuff. Guess its all the hormones! I'd take it as a good sign. Although I know loads of people that get plenty of cm in 2ww and aren't pregnant however it seems to be one of those common pregnancy indicators too.

Quick message will catch up later but after only testing opk's for 2 days I've got my smiley face today on cd 12!

 

[Hann12]

That's early!! Yay! How that means you can get BD in before you go away!

 

[MamaMac123]

Ooo Isaac that's awesome!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey han & mama i'm totally with you on the dysfunctional family thing, you gotta Love them!
Hey mama to answer your questions yes I beleive I had implantation cramps when I got pg with ds they felt like very sharp stingy jabs in the womb that lasted for few seconds long over a period of a few hrs! I also had way more cm than normal both times I was pg too so this is also a good sign (for Me anyways) hope it is with you too! Ooo so excited for you hun

Runnergrl you too, hope the tww flies bye & your telling us all about a lovely bfp! Fx'd

Happy- i'm never too bad by the time AF shows either, it can defo help to find out sooner rather than later if you have a bfn!

Elt- got a + opk hun? I think we'll be close cycle buddies again & with runnergrl too!

Han- yeah hope to get some bding before we go on wed! Only bad thing about timing this month is I don't think I'll be able to go to my tubal test now as i'll either have my bfp, how I wish or have my period! Was going by last few months ovulated around cd 16/17 so it would've been ok! Haven't ovulated this soon for quite a while, guessing either tomorrow or wed? Couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw the smiley face, ic was positive too! But had ovulation pains since yesterday & loads of ewcm so knew it was brewing. Had some more acupuncture today actually nodded of few times during it, had a banging headache before so she put about 5 needles in my forehead & it eased it after about 5 mins. I really like it so so therapeutic!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hmm wonder if the early ov is due to the acupuncture you've done recently fx it does the trick this cycle and you get that bfp!!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Looking back at my charts the earliest I've got + opk before is cd 13 new record on cd 12!

 

[runnergrl]

I think I'm going to just try to relax and enjoy this TWW. The others have been so stressful because I would over analyze every temp or twinge. This time, if it happens, I will be elated, but not too disappointed if it doesn't bc I haven't even had a cycle after MC yet. Pretty crazy though for me to O so early. Cd 12? With my son it was day 19 and with Ella it was day 15. Glad I took OPK's every day and really know my body an what to look for! I feel like I should teach sex Ed and educate girls on their bodies. I wish someone had taught me sooner!!

Mama- still so excited for you and from what the other ladies said, the cramps sound promising! It is so hard not to symptom spot...even when I say I wont I can't seem to help it!

Happy- hugs to you and I am glad you didn't take it quite as hard this cycle. I know that deep down, you are feeling it, but just don't give up!

Hann- Yes...everyone and I mean everyone has some famly disfunction! If they say they don't, they are either lying or there is some deep, dark secret that they don't know about!

Runnergrl- hopefully I will be joining you, mama, and Isaac in the tww soon! FX for all of out BFPs!

Isaac- that is early! Lets hope that it's a good sign that egg was ready so fast! Both you and runnergrl O'd early and it seems that I am going to late!

AFM- CD18 today and my opk was the darkest yet tonight. It is kind of hard to tell when it is positive for me since I haven't used this brand before (and I tend to not ever get a full positive), but it is just a hint lighter than the control line, so I am thinking O has to be within the next couple days. Also, lots of ewcm since yesterday, so it is coming any day now. This cycle has been a little different than my other "normal" ones because I have had several days of near positive opks and I normally go from no line to positive in no time! Oh well, just glad to be back to somewhat "normal".

 

[MamaMac123]

Elt - GL this cycle! Get your bd on because sounds like you're in the ov zone!

I'm feeling super happy with my temps. Jumping up a couple notches everyday! Still just hoping and praying! Have had a lot of heartburn last couple days. Last night I was laying on my stomach and woke up suddenly and almost threw up due to the heartburn hitting so fast and had to eat up some tums quick.

 

[elt1013]

Thanks Mama, your chart is looking great!

I am still in my normal pre O temp range, so still waiting for the tww.

 

[banana07]

Hey ladies. Once again sorry its been so long!! Really trying to not think about things this month so haven't been on. What alot of catch up on!!

Issac & Elt - well done on the Pos OPKs - hope your getting plenty of Bding in!!

Runnergirl & Mamamac - Great ye in the tww together, I think I'm nearly finished it AF due Thursday or Friday I think.


Happycpl sorry about the BFNs - we are also in the not trying month, did pretty well considering I was a total nut about the whole thing last few months. Sorry for you too mummyclo

MelloYello - Congratulations - well done - hopefully there will be more BFPs to follow you!!

Jessica - So sorry to hear about the accident must have been so scary but glad all is ok x

Hann - when is your scan, soon I think??

Afm, Have come to realise all my tww symptoms were most certainly in my head the last few months compared to this month knowing I'm not cause we didn't bd anywhere near the right time this month and not a single twing or hicup in this tww. Usually I cramp from 3/5 dpo, toilet breaks, sickness, heartburn, tiredness and this month nothing not a twinge!!. Getting very slightly crampy but AF due in 2-3 days so that makes sense. Even tho I know I was no where close to Bd at the right time this month I still have this teeny weeney glimmer of hope and wonder but I'm stomping that out where possible as quickly as possible!!

Just can't wait for AF to come now so I can get onto cycle 6 and give it a good go! Day21 blood test results due today but doc not answering will try again shortly. I am sure everything is fine tho since everything happens on schedule.

Can't believe I'm heading into Cycle6, I remember when I started on this thread in cycle 2, I couldn't imagine being in Cycle 6 now I can't imagine being pregant at all - seems never ending at this stage.

Not going to test or anything this month I know there is zero point - will be more devestated by the BFN then AF. Also for the first time ever I have zero urge to POAS!!

 

[Hann12]

Banana I hope the bloods are good, even if you don't get a bfp this month onto cycle 6 - hopefully lucky cycle 6!

Mama - I am so so excited for you because firstly your temps look amazing and secondly I had awful heartburn with my DD very early on - think it was 8dpo and it lasted for about 10 days, then unfortunately the puking started but all good things!! I didn't get it this time, in fact had no symptoms apart from the IB. Keep us posted!!!

Elt - hope you ov very soon!

Issacralph - I am a big believer in acupuncture so I am pretty sure that's why you ov early. I have high hopes for you this month because of it!

My scan is Friday - 3 days to go then I can finally tell the world! Bought DD a tshirt saying 'I'm going to be a big sister' so going to put that on Facebook on Sunday after I've seen a lot of my friends on sat and Sunday. I want to tell people in person if I can but of course will put it on fb. Very excited! Every night I listen to the heartbeat for some reassurance. My DH loves it too, he's really excited and is calling the baby 'she' but as its all been so different this time I think it must be a boy. What am I going to do with a boy?!! I'm so used to girlie things lol! It's going to be weird if it is but I like the thought of a mini version of my DH as he is such a good man (in the main) and it would be lovely to raise a nice young man! Plus DH is so close to his dad that I'm sure he would love to have that with his own son. He says he doesn't mind though. I would be happy either way. Still think we won't find out anyway so going to be spending the next 28 weeks going crazy wondering!!

 

[banana07]

Am i right in thinking we have 5 ladies somewhere in the tww, mamamac, elt, runnergirl, issac and myself?? Has to be a in there somewhere!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Lets hope so!!!!!

 

[runnergrl]

yessss ma'am! hopefully 5 of them !

 

[runnergrl]

mama- your chart looks GREAT!

 

[banana07]

Well got my bloods back today. Haven't a clue and google is confusing me even more now I don't know what units they are measured in but I presume its the same as the UK (I think US and UK are different??)

Anyway she said my Progesterone (sp?) levels were:

Day 3 bloods were 0.8
Day 21 bloods were 27.9 (only 2-3 dpo I think)
Day 25 bloods were 38.1 (7dpo I think)

She said that they were normal but I would have to talk to the doc to find out more and see what to do next.

Anyone know if they are indeed normal - nurse doesn't seem to confident in her answers!!!

 

[runnergrl]

sorry I cant help... not sure what the conversion would be and again, not sure what normal means.. I will be having mine checked in a week, hopefully when i get my BFP!!!!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Yeah I think it means your ovulating banana over 30 at 7dpo means you certainly ovulated! Not too sure why they would've checked your progesterone on cd 3 though? It's not going to tell them much, weird! Did they not check fsh, lh or oestradiol? That would've told you & them more than progesterone on cd3!
