TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[HappyCpl]

I'm hoping Hann being away is a sign that her little one is making its debut

Mama - I love how you're being so positive and optimistic. I'm religious as well and for so long now I keep asking God why. Buy my husband and I talked and so much has happened in our lives this last year that it almost feels as though He has been preparing us for a child. I have been doing a lot of praying and it has helped me to feel calmer. I'm excited for this month as it seems we have our basis covered, but at this point, it's in His hands. I'll be praying for you Hun. I'm glad that you are finding comfort and peace.

Just a quick one as feeling awful - getting the worst Braxton hicks - not painful so not contractions but they are almost taking my breath away and I feel sick!

Mama - I did get a bfp first time using them, I used it every day until I was 12 weeks pregnant. If you get to 14dpo and no bfp then you stop using it and your AF should arrive. Sorry for the quick reply

 

[runnergrl]

hann- DO NOT APOLOGIZE!! I hope this is it for you! Sorry you are in plain but I hope this is the start of your labor!!! Good luck hun!

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks Happy & Hann!

Hann - sorry about the Braxton hicks, that must be miserable, but it does mean baby could be on the way any time now so that's exciting!!

Happy - I've been praying as well. For the past year my prayers have been "Please bless us with a baby". This cycle I've tried to change my attitude and my request and have been praying for God to bless us with a baby but that I will have the patience to wait for that blessing to come in its proper time. It's very hard to think that way but I'm really trying to trust in Him. Fx and prayers for us both!!!

 

[runnergrl]

ok, here I am. Large and in charge!! this was yesterday at 25+4

 

[HappyCpl]

Good luck to you Hann! This could be the begining!

Runner - Look at you glowing! Love the pic!!

Mama - it'll happen in God's time for sure.

 

[Hann12]

It's all calmed down a bit now typically! Hopefully all the practise is doing something though and it won't be long but we'll see!
Runnergrl - your bump is really cute, you aren't big at all - I know it feels like we are huge though but your seriously not!

 

[MamaMac123]

Awww Runner your bump is so cute! I love it!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Loving the bump pics girls! Runnergrl your looking fab!
Good luck han I remember those painful practice contractions so well had them for a whole week before my waters broke.
Mama- way to go on getting your cross hairs without the clomid, I'm alsp religious and our prayers almost sound identical I will remember to pray for you girls who are struggling with this journey! Remember to pray for me too! ;-)
Happy- hope your doing ok sounds like you feel like all of us left waiting to get bfp, it will happen in gods time!
Banana hope your feeling better now hun, keep strong hun as I know it will happen for too! Just try and enjoy every day as I got so fed up letting it take over my life I say sod it!
Afm- no hpts taken but inevitably feeling AF on her way I'm so sure if it! 12dpo and have all usual pre af signs and no pregnancy symptoms whatsoever! I was hoping I'd be saved from having a tonsillectomy in few weeks but not now. So its just one more go without clomid girls, I'll also be post op so not feeling too hopeful for upcoming month! Bit fed up but trying my hardest to stay positive for my boys! X

 

[HappyCpl]

Isaac of course We'll be praying for you! Hopefully you won't have to join the Clomid train, but if you do I pray it helps. Hope your surgery goes ok. I know I need my tonsils out, but the thought scares me. I don't do well under anesthesia as I always get sick when I wake up. I can't imagine getting sick after having my throat cut on. Eek!

AF hasn't shown up yet, so don't give up. It's so hard to say positive. How is DH holding up? Or has he gotten to the if it happens it happens point?

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama - temps are holding steady!

 

[HappyCpl]

Negative OPK for me this morning. Which is odd. When using OPK's before I always got positive tests three days in a row. Maybe it's the Clomid? Maybe it's not a slow progression? Not sure. I'll test again tonight. My urine looked pretty diluted. Temp didn't spike as high as I had hoped. But we'll see what the next few days bring.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey happy!
Thanks for the prayers it means so much. Dh like me has his up and down days he has sometimes cried out of despair too! At the moment we're going through so many emotions and they can all come within a matter of days or even sometimes hours apart. Generally we are dealing with it well but he hurts just as much as me but having our ds helps to comfort and raise our spirits, he is after all our world! I have enormous feelings of guilt towards them both as I feel like I'm letting them down as I think the problem lays with me. On a more positive note I defo think there is another baby in me I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet although its been 14 long draining months, we also had few months before this that we could've potentially gotten pregnant also! I literally dream about the day I'll see those 2 little lines again oh woe is me! :'(
Hey fx'd you caught that eggy, I'm sure its just of slow riser mine aways used to be too! How is your dh coping?
Banana how are you girlfriend? ?

 

[runnergrl]

Prayers Isaac!!!

 

[HappyCpl]

Isaac I wish I could give you a real hug instead of a virtual one. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. I'm right there with you though. Dont give up. Keep reaching for your dreams. It'll happen eventually.
I feel selfish being so upset over not having another baby when I have a beautiful little girl who means so much. I've always dreamed of having a big family as I've always wanted 3 or 4 babies. DH also wants a big family. He struggles with the TTC process because he thought it would be so much easier. As did I. He was against IUI or IVF in the beginning, but now he says he will do whatever it takes. He is very supportive and tried I hold me up even when I know he's having a difficult time himself. I'm so thankful we have husbands who care so much.

 

[Shey]

Hope u lovely ladies are doing good. I'm still nauseated

 

[MamaMac123]

Isaac - hang in there babe! Will def keep you in my prayers!

Happy - on clomid my temp took several days to really spike up to post ov temps. I'd get my pos opk then it would go up some for a day or two then do the big jump so I wouldn't worry yet, give your temps a couple days to catch up.

My temps staying nice and high and consistent started the progesterone cream last night and my boobs hurt big time! Just a waiting now....

 

[HappyCpl]

Thank you mama. Do you think based on my positive OPK that I OV yesterday? I'm thinking it happened sometime around 10:00 yesterday morning as I was having cramps until then. We bd last night and the night before. Gonna bd tonight too to be safe.

 

[HappyCpl]

Just checked and OPK is still negative. I wish I would have checked yesterday evening when I got home. Hoping FF puts OV for yesterday. Cervix is still high and open but much firmer than yesterday.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Happy I would defo say you ovulated yesterday your temp waa so low and it is on the increase now and all the other signs were there! Your well covered aren't you? I never take any more opk's after my first one!
Good luck mama things are sounding promising for you. Xx

And yes we are very lucky we have understanding husbands that's a blessing in itself! Us girls so deserve our luck to change soon I'm hoping for us all!
