TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[sla545]

I missed a bit being out this weekend! I have been without internet access for two days and I was dying!

Well, it is CD10 for me. I think I will O in the next couple days here. No positive OPK yet, but I only peed on two this weekend since was busy with moving. Going to start two times a day today. DH and I had not BD for about two weeks since we have crossed schedules and been so busy with moving, so we need to get to it tonight!

Hope all is well with everyone!

Hi girls!!!! I've been reading regularly but haven't been posting much as I've been feeling pretty awful the past few days.

Been doing some research and I should never have taken the soy, I think its basically made my body produce too much estrogen and I don't have the progesterone to balance it so I'm getting the spotting. The likelihood is that I won't even ovulate this month and if I have a pregnancy couldn't sustain as the lining is shredding. Obviously that will be confirmed in the blood test but I'm pretty sure thats whats happening. Feeling pretty upset and sad. I hope its only affected one cycle and I'll be okay next cycle. Guess its best never to mess with these things?!
Spotting stopped all day until about an hour ago, and is now worse. I read it will probably continue until AF is due. Basically too much estrogen causes the lining to shred early.
How depressing to have most probably ruined a cycle. Can only hope its just the one and I haven't caused longer term damage.

I'm so sorry soy had this effect on you. Hopefully it's just a little bit of breakthrough bleeding or residual bleeding after ovulation, and you'll be on your way to a BFP soon

Well its cd1 for me girls, thank you god! 29 day cycle much natter than 39 like it used to be. Hope everyone's ok

Here's to a clean slate and a BFP in a few weeks!


Mamamac- Hoping this cycle comes to an end for you soon!

Hey sla, how's the move going?

Hey sla, how's the move going?

Awesome! We have almost everything out of our old house. Still unpacking but I am so in love with our new house! We built it, so we picked everything out, but it is so nice to see all our furniture look great and just how we pictured! Hopefully we will be all settled by the end of the week. It is also pretty hard to pay attention to charting and POAS when you are moving!

Thats great Sla - plus keeps your mind occupied! We moved a few months back and I'm so happy in our new home.

Spotting again....arrgghhh

Okay temp still low today and I'm almost 100% positive I haven't ovulated. I thought back to my first cycle after BF and it was similar - had spotting then had a 5 week cycle (I think I did ov but was short LP). It would make send that I had a hormone imbalance after BF and that the soy has done the same thing. So test will confirm it then hopefully they'll repeat the test next cycle and things will be more normal, think it took me 2 cycles to recover after BF but I'm hoping that's a bit different and the soy won't be so long lasting. I guess I may still ov on the next couple of weeks still anyway. Continue charting and opk.
Feeling more positive today now I have my head around the fact that I have not ov'd

 

[AllisMommy]

I hope either AF comes or you OV soon HANN!!!
I am so sorry your cycle has been so weird.

I am 9dpo according to my temps etc.. and according to FF...
Didnt really try..but did bd around ovulation, so we will see if I can get a lucky sticky bean so quickly. Had a large dip today in temps. No spotting and no sign of AF. Very tired and some heartburn. We will see!

 

[Hann12]

Oh exciting allismom! I hope it is an ID! I have heard it's possible to be more fertile after a loss. Hope you get some good news soon

 

[AllisMommy]

Thank you friend...
How are you feeling these days? I am hoping less stressed and more positive about your cycle?

 

[melissasbump]

Hiya,
Sla545, glad the move went well!

Hann, hope you are feeling ok today hun and that you got a decent nights sleep in

Allismommy, fingers crossed for you.

Ok, so stupid question time (i dont have a clue lol) So the way ive been feeling last couple of days im sure i have OV'd but i havent picked up a really decent line on an OPK, weill i have only been randomly testing so its very possible i missed that anyhow. I have tested again this moring and still only got avery faint line, so my question is, will i still get a faint line after OV or should i see nothing at all?

 

[Hann12]

I am feeling more positive, I definitely shouldn't have taken the soy but there is no point getting down about it, it's done! Just will wait it out and hope for a better cycle next cycle!

Mel I have no idea, my thinking is that you wouldn't get a line after so you may still get one but the others know more!

 

[Hann12]

Sorry should add Mel that you're not meant to use FMU - optimum time to test is meant to be 10am - 7pm I think. Having said that I think you said you are working nights this week so guessing you aren't using FMU?

 

[melissasbump]

Thankd Hann, Arrghhh i dont know its so confusing! OH thinks todays line is a bit darker so maybe ive still not OV'D? I know it should be dark because i got a lovely dark line last month.
We were up ALL night with H last night, he was so upset crying and would only sleep on us, very random so safe to say we are all exausted today!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Morning lovely ladies!

han- glad your feeling positive about things, bit weird how your temps went up & now back down?

melissabump- sounds like your well covered if you have missed your surge, do you chart? bet your both tired with you LO keeping you up & all that bding, i'm enjoying a BD break at the mo, he he!

alliesmommy- Fx'd for this cycle, you gonna test soon or leave it until AF is due?

mammamac- come on AF!

cd 2 here and feeling fine, cramps, headaches all gone I'm goung to enjoy feeling normal for a week or so then back to aches, pains & pms arrggh!

 

[Hann12]

Hi IssacRalph - so glad things are good for you today, how jealous am I of you starting a new cycle lol!! You can even enjoy a nice glass of wine.....

I'm now just mystified by my situation, I've googled everywhere and spotting seems to be caused by:
1) ovulation - fine but then why have my temps dropped
2) low progesterone - but you have to have ovulated for that, unless its so low as to cause AF which its def not, no spotting today
3) estrogen breakthrough bleed - but thats associated with taking BC
4) Implantation bleed - too early and my temps have been down for 2 days
5) DTD - but its not happening directly as a result of that

Thats pretty much it! I will obviously find out when the bloods come back but I can't see how I have ovulated if my temps have dropped. Just all very odd. I asked about it on the soy thread here and the ladies on there are completely stumped too. Some said that they had spotting with soy but they always ovulated.
Funny thing is that I'm feeling a bit achy/sensitive in the ovary/uterus region, so maybe I keep gearing up to ovulate but not, but then that wouldn't explain the spotting.
Opks are very much negative.
Just plain strange! Just want to get on with a new cycle and hope its more normal with the next one.

Mel - I think you are covered anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about the opk. I have a good feeling for you. To be honest if you don't get a bfp after all the BD effort this month then thats very unfair!!

 

[melissasbump]

Thanks ladies, just a further update just been to toilet and when i wiped there was brownish cm when before it has been ewcm or slightly creamy. Now i am confused. And i feel like death warmed up lol x

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning ladies!

Hann - I so understand Hun, it is so frustrating not knowing what your own body is doing or why it's not working right. Hopefully by next cycle it will have all sorted out for ya In the meantime think positive and know you're not alone

Mel - I have yet to see a positive opk on my end and my cycle is def messed up to the tenth degree! But with all the opks I have taken lately, I know I almost always see a faint line. Not sure if it's me or the test. Could be my messed up hormone levels or may just be how the test is and I'm able to see the line faintly. Do you typically get no visible line at all when not ov? As for the brownish cm no idea there. Was going to suggest implantation bleeding but sounds like its possible you haven't even ov yet. Good luck!!! Sorry I'm not more help.

Allies mom- good luck this cycle babe!

Isaac - enjoy your feel good down time fx for you this cycle!

This morning my temp had a huge drop. Not sure what's up there. Still sort of hoping it may be the dip before ov. Or maybe the dip for AF. Either would be most welcome!!! Haha Yesterday I had some cramping and some major low back pain. Anyone know of that could be ov pain? If you get ov pain can you guys describe it for me? Is it before or on the day of ov? Is it similar to menstral cramps or different? Are backaches part of it? I never tracked ov before so I have no idea how I feel when ov. It's possible I haven't ov for 7-8 years.

 

[Hann12]

Hey mama - the dip and the pains sound promising. I get ov pains normally at ovulation and after and mine feel like a stitch low down. I knwo everyones are different though!
I get backache too but I have a terrible back so in general my back is always hurting or aching lol!
I'm now getting a lot of cramping, very strange!

 

[AllisMommy]

Thans Mama and Mel. My fingers are crossed too! I was not sure if I would be ready so soon, but I feel that I am.

So symptoms

dpo 1-5 nothing realllly significant. Some normal twinges and pulls, but that's just normal for me.
dpo 6 - cramping
dpo 7 - cramping, fatigue, headaches, dizziness
dpo 8 - same as 7 with bbt dip
dpo 9 - same as 7 and 8 with added bleeding gums and increased dizziness. Anyone else in the 2ww?

hey thats normal thats all i wanted after my mmc back in 2010 before ds, it took us another 5 long months to concieve our ds! But it sounds like you and your partner are really fertile, it only took one try didn't and you got your bfp, correct me if i'm wrong! I'm waiting to ovulate so i haven't got the agony of the tww just yet, last month was just awful as i had so many symptoms but it turned out to be pms. It sounds like your in tune with your body, maybe you should test in next few days! hoping that you get your bfp,good luck
