TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Hi yes there's a baby!!
I had a baby boy just over 24 hours ago - born on 14th at 11.12pm, Henry Edward 8 pounds 2. Had a bit of a horrific labour as he turned during it and I ended up having an epidural after being fully dilated and pushing for over 2 hours as they decided to try and manually turn him which thankfully was a success and he was born about 45 mins later with no intervention or stitches. I was home 10 hours later and it's been a lovely first day. He's very good so far, a good eater and sleepy although I suspect he's still exhausted from the birth! I'll post a picture ASAP

Hey happy - not sure how I am. I ended up not testing because turns out I have no tests! Haha thought I had a few but nope. This morning my temp dropped down and I had a tiny bit of spotting and cramping but after this morning both went away. I worked a half day and felt really tired so I went to sleep around noon and literally slept the whole afternoon! I just got up at 6:30 when DH got home! I checked my temp before I got up and it was 98.8! So this morning I felt sure AF was on her way, and now my brain is toying with the idea of implantation dip and implantation bleeding! AF will prob arrive tomorrow...but till then I guess hope is still alive....will prob still wait to test till Sat now.

Wow that's quite a jump in the temp after your nap. I hope the witch stays away and tr spotting turns into a BFP!

[MamaMac123]

More symptom spotting for me! Still feel exhausted even after sleeping all day. Heading to bed after I post this! But also I've noticed today my and have felt really sore. Feels like I did a bunch of crunches yesterday which I totally did not! I just looked it up and found a thread of people all saying this was one of their earliest pregnancy symptoms. The sore boobs I get all the time and vivid dreams and even the fatigue (though today feels extreme!) but this ab thing is totally new for me. Fx!!! Temp still high this evening. But also still some very light spotting. Hoping its IB!!! Praying for my bfp!!!!

Hann - I am so so happy for you !!!! Congratulations & I love the name x

Mama - I really really do have all my fingers and toes crossed for you x

Issac - I am glad you are feeling a bit better x Is it this cycle or next you are going to start clomid??

Afm, went to the doc the other day, felt a bit silly once I got there but explained how I was feeling and he was actually very understanding and took me seriously. Gave me a very low dose of Diazipan to take for the next week and then I have to go back to him. I took one last night and nearly passed out alseep - thank god I just managed to stay awake until DH came to bed as we were scheduled for Bding! Meant to be taking one this morning too but it made me so sleepy not sure if I should in work??

Am very confused about O - Def had EWCM yesterday but also had it a few days ago (like CD10 - way to early). and this morning had really really bad cramps very low down but still stark white OPKs. Am CD14 today - maybe its enroute (Usually suspect it CD17-19). Still can't explain the temp dip from 2 days ago its gone back to normal now.

How are you Happy??

 

[banana07]

Hmmm another stark white OPK - nothing not even a hint or a tint of a line

 

[MamaMac123]

Banana - ugh! Opks drive me nuts! Waiting for a line is torture! Fx or you hun!!!! Glad the doc visit went alright!

Afm - feeing bummed about my temp this am. I was sweating all night and felt certain I'd have a huge temp jump this am but no such luck still on the low side. It's still above cover but my hope is now dwindling. I expect to see AF by the end of the day. For next cycle I've decided to stay off the clomid again. As long as I'm oving on my own I won't use it. Going to up our bd efforts and make sure we never go less than every other day till confirmed ov. Also going to focus a lot of energy on exercise. Best thing I can do for my body for ttc right now is lose some lbs! Not going to opk as they make me nuts. Just going to give it our all in the bd department.

 

[banana07]

Well have got a slight line on the OPk last night and this morning. Was about 25% yesterday and about 50% as dark this morning. Am checking 3 times a day to be sure. Cramps were really bad on Wednesday tho wonder why, there was obv something going on down there. Fx eggy is on his way now for the weekend Told DH and he said great we'll have to go at it like rabbits, hes very into it again this month (he has good and bad months of putting effort in!).

How are you feeling now mama - fx there is still no sign of AF. Even if she does arrive you must be just delighted to have had a natural cycle, normal Lp etc.... Still have my fx for you x

How are you Happy - any more signs or lack of them?? Will you be testing over the weekend or will you hold out???

Thinking of you Hann x

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey girls omg han you've had your baby congratulations girl, the birth sounded a bit scary! Thank goodness your both ok. So excited you've had a boy how lucky are you to have one of each. Saying that every baby is a blessing! Pics please when you have time. X
Banana- good luck for when your eggy comes doesn't sound too far away now. I'll be startingclomid next cycle as my op is Tuesday, Eeek!
Mama- sorry you got your af, just seen on your chart! Here's hoping you have another ovulatory cycle without the clomid
Afm- nothing much going on here! Have to have my 6 monthly smear test later and I'm so hoping I get yhe the all clear, wish me luck!
Happy- how's it all going?

 

[runnergrl]

Congrats Hann!!!!! A BOY!!

 

[banana07]

Thanks Issac yeah took another opk there and its a tiny bit darker then this morning. I was a bit worried this morning because it was only then I realised I was starting to get faint lines but I had been dumping my opks the ones i took in work within a min but have now discovered it takes 3-5 mins for it to show up. Was worried I actually was now getting the end of the surge instead of the beginning but as its getting slightly darker and I have the bad cramps again I figure its just around the corner fx & Good luck with your smear i have to get yearly ones for 10years instead of every 3 years - had CIN 3 a couple of years ago had to get the Letz to burn it off. All clear since then tho x

but delighted you got a normal cycle x

 

[HappyCpl]

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA.

Banana - it'll be anytime for ya.

AFM- temp has dropped. Still little to no symptoms. More CM than "norm" for me. BFN this morning. No suprise. I know it's still early but no plans on testing again until at least 2 days after AF is due.

 

[elt1013]

Heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time today and it was a perfect 160 bpm!

 

[HappyCpl]

That's wonderful Elt!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hi girls!

Elt - that's so exciting!!!!!

Banana - dtd girl! Go get that eggy!!!!

Isaac - thanks for the support hope you're soon well good luck on the upcoming test!

Afm - AF is here....crampy and blah but ready for a new cycle.

 

[HappyCpl]

I'm sorry AF showed up mama. but I'm glad you had a regular cycle this time. That's def good news.

AFM- temp jumped back up this morning. A little crampy but nothing major. Bbs are achy. Not my nipples... Just everything else. And it's a deep throbbing ache. Almost like its down in the muscle. But I've not been working out to make them sore like that. I can just barely bump them and it hurts They kind of feel "full" or "heavy" if that makes sense? Only 11dpo so we'll see what temp looks like tomorrow. I did check out FF's "Charts Like Mine" and 57% were pregnancy, 4%mc, and the rest ovulatory. I hope that's a good sign. Still trying to hold off on testing. With DD I barely got a + one day after AF was due. So I'm trying to hold onto that thought...
