TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[MamaMac123]

Hmm good suggestions Hann, thanks! I didn't have any bleeding with the soy last cycle but could still have it from the soy and maybe this means I'm ov today or tomorrow? Need to do an opk when I get home in next hour or so. Forgot to being one to work today. Did get the ewcm today so who knows. Maybe it is ov related.

 

[elt1013]

Everyone here gives such great advise...and how great is it to still have Hann here supporting us all! You ladies are all so awesome!

 

[elt1013]

Hmm...mama, I was looking at your chart and it looks to me like it is pretty likely that ff is wrong like you thought it may be. Are you thinking that o is coming up because according to cm, cervix and temps, it looks like it may be? Did you do an opk today yet? Are the lines getting any darker for you? I hope so, because we would be pretty close this cycle as mine are just a hint lighter than the control line today! Figures though that I would o earlier than I have lately because I am going to have a pap on Dec. 4 and sure enough, AF will probably be here. I don't really want to have a pap with AF.

 

[Hann12]

Yep not ideal Elt! Hopefully you'll be pregnant instead

Sorry mama I didn't mean that the soy would cause bleeding this cycle, I meant the clomid. Reason being that soy mimics clomid, they both cause an increase in estrogen which can cause bleeding IF you have too much estrogen. Thats what happened to me, I was estrogen dominant that cycle because the soy affected the balance of hormones. It may not have affected you with soy as its gentler but it may affect you with clomid as its much stronger. Just a thought.
Oh and just googled it - apparently mid cycle spotting with clomid is very common - take a look!

Hi guys,

Elt - I think so too...don't think I've ovulated yet. Today's opk had a faint line. Def not positive but the line was there and up till now they've all been totally blank so I hope that means its coming in next day or two and we can be TWW buddies! Fx!

Hann - thanks for the info! I'll look it up! how's your little bean doing?

 

[runnergrl]

I feel like O is coming soon! got my first sign of EWCM today! whoop whoop!

 

[Jessicabaxter]

Hey ladies! Just wanted to say hi and say I'm still reading this thread daily!!! List of baby dust to you all!! Happy thanksgiving!

 

[elt1013]

Hi Jessica, how are you and the family?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[Hann12]

Happy thanksgiving girls! I am super jealous of your gorgeous dinners today! I'd love a big roast right now!

Jessica - how is the baby? Are things going okay after the accident?

Yay runnergrl - get BDing!

Mama - can see your temps have dropped, confirms you must be still to ov. At least you didn't miss it. FX not long!
Same for you Elt.

We are good, got a boring day in as car is being serviced so can't get anywhere. So spending my time trying to think of a girls name. Boy is almost def Henry Edward. Girl is probably Elise but other contenders are Carrie, Holly and Naomi. Totally stuck on nice middle names though. Would have been nice to put a family name in there but we used my Nans name for DD 'Millie' and our other nans are Francis, Frieda and Mona! Not options in my opinion! My mum is Mary but that's quite old fashioned and DH's mum is Helen which doesn't go with any of our first name choices, plus my MIL drives me mad!!

Happy thanksgiving! Our lil Alex Carter may not make it. Accident caused placenta to dislodge and I'm leaking protein, went to doc yesterday and he is really really small. Only good thing is his stomache and head r same size and my amniotic fluid is normal for now. I have to go to doc every two weeks starting now and get stress test along with the ultra sounds at specialist. Doc basically said he is too small and after an accident like ours babies either make it or they don't and they ll just have to watch him very close. No one knows what will happen. My son that was in hospital is gettin a lil better but we have a long rd. at this point I'm not even sure if I should still plan on my baby shower. It's so hard to want to plan and get exited when nothing guaranteed day to day. He wasn't even moving on ultrasound and his heart rate isn't as high as it has been.

Sorry for the long message I have no one to tlk to my husband can't even look at ultrasound pics sorry for going into this kinda stuff on thanksgiving! I'm praying for you all an pray ya ll get ur BFP!!!!!!! Have a wonderful thanksgiving!

Jessica I'm so sorry for what you are going through and please don't be sorry about talking on here that is exactly what we are all here for. We think ttc is the hardest part but really its only half the battle isn't it. Will say a prayer for you and your family tonight, you just brought a tear to my eye, really am thinking of ye x

Mamamac - great if you haven't Od yet - you'll be sure to get plenty of bding in!

Hann - I love Henry thinks its so traditional and kool but we already have a William (Billy) so I don't think it would go down too well over here to have a William and a Harry/Henry!!!

Elt - can you reschedule your pap for a week or so later??? I don't know if they would do it at all when AF is there my nurse says days 7-10 are the best???

Runnergirl - glad to see your still checking in and keeping us updated!

Any sign of Happycpl lately?? - Hope she is doing ok

Afm, I'm somewhere between 4 & 5 dpo I think have sharp stabbing pains today and unquenchable thirst but have these most months so not reading into anything at all just my usual monthly phamtom pregnancy!!! Af due next Saturday or Sunday so a long way off yet. Have a bit of an urge to POAS after no urges last 2 months but think i'll still hold off cannot handle the BFNs!

 

[Jessicabaxter]

Thanks banana!

I hope u get ur BFP! Don't know too much about early signs and symptoms, I knew I was pg when I threw up at the smell of pork chops. Hopefully this is it for u!

 

[Hann12]

Jessica I'm so sorry you are going through this, I really hope that he's a little fighter and is in the 50% that survive. I'll be thinking of you and hoping that it all works out. Its good that he's still growing though so hopefully a positive sign. Please come on anytime to talk - we are here to help or at least listen

Banana - I have my fingers crossed that this isn't a phantom and that it is your time! Keep us posted!

Any sign of ov elt or mama? Mama I watch your chart every day - its looking like you might be gearing up to it now. I know you're probably a bit disappointed that you may not have ov yet (I mean you might have an you'll know for sure after the blood test on Monday) but if you haven't I think you will very soon. You have all the right signs for it. Maybe if you don't get a bfp this cycle they will up the clomid dose.

Hows everyone else?

 

[elt1013]

Jessica- I really feel for you...but he sounds like he is a fighter as he is still holding on! I will be thinking of you.

banana- They do paps anytime in a cycle (even on af). I have had to have one with af before and it isn't really fun...just knowing that the doc is down there with that mess going on. I think it bothers us more than the docs though, because mine said that they do it all the time! I will probably be ok as long as I have my 11 day LP back this cycle.

Mama- anything new today?

runnergrl- did you o yet?

Issac- how have you been and anything going on?

afm- my chart is all wacky this cycle...I have had temps ranging from 97.18 to 97.9. No idea what is going on there, besides that I have been getting more sleep. I have been trying to get 7 or 8 hours and when I do, my temps seem to be much higher. The one 97.18 is from when I only got like 4 hours. But, good news is that I got my very positive opk today (darker than the control line), so hopefully tmrw or the next day!!

 

[banana07]

Whooo for the positive OPK elt - the excitement next gets old with it does it!!! .
I stopped doing them because they were costing me a fortune and coming up the exact same on the button every month. Hopefully you won't have AF during pap - I'll be honest it doesn't sound too delightful!! But as you said I am sure it bothers us much more than them!!!

I got a doc apt for fertility specialist on 4th December and found a clinic that will test DH within a matter of days its 2 hour drive but worth it public waiting list where we are is 6months. I need to phone my clinic on Monday tho I keep forgetting to ask them what is the cancellation policy Af will be due on 1st or 2nd prob 2nd since november is a 30day month so on the very very off chance I get my BFP need to know if 2 days is enough notice. Will wait until then to get DH tested but will still hopefully be before Christmas. Thankfully this new house is keeping me really really busy ordered my tiles, wood floors, doors etc... this week was so nerve racking actually commiting to them even tho I have had them picked out for months. Hoping to be in for the end of Jan/Early Feb so hopefully the saying it true new house new baby.

Going over to see my sister in Exeter in 2 weeks time for a long weekend she is 1.5years ttc so I'm sure there will be plenty of Baby and ttc talk!!

One of our friends had a baby 3 weeks ago, one last week and another today!!! My friend that had a baby this morning little boy and another friend is due next week. Delighted for them esp since the one who is due next week had two mc in the last 2 years ttc and the other who had her baby this morning her first child has special needs. Think I'd be jealous otherwise but they 100% totally deserve it and I am genuinely happy for them!!! (Jealous of the other two as far as I know they were a breeze to concieve!!!)

Mama - what CD are you now?? Any further signs of Ov??

 

[MamaMac123]

Happy Thanksgiving ladies! I'm at my brothers house enjoying holidays but I had to pop on to say I got my positive OPK this evening!!!! Yay!

I wasn't going to test today as it was negative yesterday and we dtd this am so figured it wasn't a big deal but then I had this mega surge of horny very unexpectedly so I was curious and took the test and low and behold there was my positive! So dragged DH off to our room for round 2

I'm way excited because we've been right on track with bd the last few days. Should have a good shot this cycle

Elt - we both got positives today! total cycle buddies!!!!

Hann - love the name Elise! Sooo cute!

Jessica - I'm so sorry Hun to hear what's happening with your little one. Prayers for you guys and for your son as well. and as the other girls have said, we're always here to listen. Always!

Runnergrl - ov yet??? We could all be cycle buds again!

 

[elt1013]

Woohoo mama...I am excited too as we have bd every other day, last night, and will again in just a little bit. We both will have great chances this cycle. Yay!!!

 

[runnergrl]

Jessica-prayers to your family hun- sorry to hear about all the challenges you are facing right now- definitely in my thoughts!

Elt and mama- yay for pos OPK's and great timing with the BD-ing! I am hoping to get my pos tomorrow(a little surprised I didn't get it today but whatever). Hopefully we will all be in the TWW together again! It's always nice to wait to out with buddies!! Pray for my + tomorrow!!

 

[Hann12]

Yay for the positive opks and timely BD's and the almost positive runnergrl. I'm sure there will be a bfp this time!

 

[runnergrl]
