TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

With my boys I found out at exactly 3 wks pregant with dollar tree test, makes me wonder if I am cuz I was wk away from af when I found out wih my boys. And I didn't pay attention to any signs or anything cuz they weren't planned so is being a cry baby at the drop of a dime, fatigue, an sore breast signs this early? Plus peeing all the time!

Well yeah they sure are pregnancy signs, the peeing all the time sounds promising if this is unusual for you! I suppose they could be pms if you not pregnant?? Have you recently come off bc?? When are you testing?

Hey ladies

Hey Jessica I just joined today too and had my mirena removed a month before you on 28th May, I was also told I would ovulate in 14days and 14days from there get my period but its a little different - I Ovulated 19th June 22 days after it was removed (although I bled for almost 2 weeks my removal was not straight forward has to go into op theater and get knocked out - they couldn't find it!). I had my first AF (in4.5years) exactly 14days after Ov 3rd July, I was 99% sure I was preg couldn't believe it happened so quick but as my friend had warned me and was right when you want it your mind plays serious tricks on you not just mental ones by boobs were like cement a couple of night how I knew I was in DS long before I missed a period (DS was also a surprise so this whole ovulating and OPKs and CM is very new to me) but anyway after 6 test I eventually believed I was not pregnant. Was so exctied that despite 4.5 years on mirena I was getting a normal cycle so quickly - have heard good and bad stories from friends some who took months to get back to normal, 1 year to concieve and others who were preg on 2nd cycle even one who was preg on 1st cycle so never got her AF after removal. so with all this was expecting to ov again in 14days which would have been 2/3 days ago thought I missed it but after reading the girls posts and taking their advice.

So anyway point is I think we in the same boat or very simliar boat - sending you lots baby dust and hope you get a great big + but on same side don't get your hopes up to much. Lots of dust tho and make sure to let us know how you get on

Thanks IssacRalph - I love your posts they always stuck out among the masses when I was reading all 1300+ of them !!!

Sweetpea - I totally agree with IssacRalph meant to say it in my last post to you but all all consumed in my CM!! No way you can count yourself out just 2dpo - shur I was certain I was out already and turns out I didn't even ov now I know your keeping a much closer eye on things than me but shows how things can change for the better As Holly said in so many post no-one is out till the sings

Hannah Thanks for the welcome - hope you are both enroute to finally ov this month!!

AFM - had a good bit more cm when I got home from work but still creamy and still a BFN on the OPK but it was 24hours since I took last one so maybe I missed it or maybe its still enroute - bought another pack on the way home so I can start again tomorrow morn Got the baby dance in before DH headed for his night-shift - very weird tho all felt very seedy and planned - both just "happened" to go for a shower before dinner and when he was finished I just "happened" to be in the bedroom wear nice knickers - (p.s I had told him earlier in the day he was on stage this evening!) Oh the joys!!

 

[ooSweetPea]

Banana no worries good CM takes precedence every time it is a very exciting thing!

for the sneaky nice knickers - a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey banana- thanks for the mention in above post totally agree with you about symptom spotting. I have had natural cycles since I had my ds we have used natural fp,,every cycle went by and I just thought Ooo bit crampy period is due in a few days. Now its a different ball game, now we're ttc I Feel more symptoms, more boob ache, more cramps etc etc! I was so sure few months ago I was pregnant & like you said after test after test you finally come to terms with not having I am going to try & not listen to my body in the next few month cuz it does tend to trick my mind

 

[Jessicabaxter]

Thanks banana! I'm glad someone else is in the same page. Baby dust to us all! I'm tryin not to get all pumped up but it's hard I only bled 4 days after mirana was takin out but it took me 3 days to start bleedin doc said not to count the bleedin as af since it was more than likely just bleedin from my cervix being stirred up. I felt "O" 14-16 days from that day so I dunno. I got pregnant last year with mirana and both my boys were conceveied on the pill, praying this month or next is it I so don't want another complete summer pregnancy! Keep me informed how ur success is going and I'll do same i shall test in mornin bought FRER

Wow! Tons to catch up on in here! First off welcome to Banana and Jessica! It's cool you guys are coming off the same bc and stuff, that way you can compare notes

Banana I love how into everything you're getting :hehe: that's how I've been since we started ttc! I swear I've learned more about my body in the past few months than ever before! I really recommend temp charting....it can def make you obsessive but it gives you a lot of good info about your body. My best friend has a normal 28 day cycle but started temping before they were going to start trying and discovered she ovulates late on about cd17 rather than 14. If she hadn't charted she'd have been bding too early and missed her chance. Anyway, welcome! And to you and Jessica! (and all of us!) Oh and kudos for the naughty knickers :hehe: awesome! Way to keep ttc sexy! (not always easy!!!!)

Oh and a little advice, you mentioned you've noticed you're more dry since stopping bc. I think from your last few comments that might be better now but just in case, something I never knew before ttc is that typical lubricants can mess with sperm! Make sure if you need a lub you use a sperm safe one like Preseed. I've heard they can boost your odds of conceiving too

Hann- Happy Bday to your little angel!!!!!! Hope the party goes great! And fx you still get your egg!!!

Sweetpea....same from me lady, you're def not out yet! Fx and happy thoughts!!!!

IsaacRalph - hehe the AF bag and the ov bag...love it!

Well my temp dipped back down again today. After a good week of pretty steady temps I'm not sure what to make of all this up and down :shrugs:

 

[Jessicabaxter]

Weird question, how do u take BBT? Thought bout TTC the old
Fashioned way but i wanna do everything I can I want a girl and heard if unstop
Havin sex 2-3 days b4 "O" theres a huge chance so maybe if I track better I can try that?! Anybody heard of that? Then again I know god has a plan

 

[elt1013]

Welcome jessica and banana!
Jessica, it is best to use a basal thermometer to do bbt and take at the same time every morning before fully waking or getting out of bed. Sleep in the same conditions every night also. You can temp orally or vaginally, but if after the first month, you find that your temps are erratic, try the vaginal. My temps were erratic, and it worked much better for me. It is tricky at the beginning but gets better after awhile. It is all about consistency!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hi Jessica, I have heard that but I've also heard the research is pretty shotty. Another study done showed that you can end up with the opposite of what you're trying for haha I'm of the belief, as you said, that God has a plan and we get who we're supposed to get But hey, can't really hurt to try!

For BBT try the website fertilityfriend.com (the chart in my signature and others in the thread are from there. Basically you take your temp with a bbt thermometer at the same time eah morning before you get out of bed. I was doing mine at 6 am but then realize I was getting up to use the bathroom around 5 and that was prob throwing my temp off so now I'm doing 5 am. Then you add it to the date on your fertility friend chart along with any other info you track (mucus, opks, symptoms etc) and it charts it all for you. After you ovulate your temp rises and stays high until your period. Hope that helps!

Yeah, it is done with a basal therm. which is more accurate. It will show another digit. For example 97.53 instead of 97.5.

Hello CD 1! AF showed her face today. What a day today has been for me....Flat tire, ran out of gas, bank is holding my check instead of giving me my money, bleach spot on new fav pants... ugh!

How is everyone. Anyone wanna give me some tips when you ahve a short LP? I think my luteal phase was 10 or 11 days.. Do you count luteal days from the date you ovulated to the date you start...or the day after you ovulated?

 

[AllisMommy]

None of my posts are showing up for me after I post them and then leave the thread...so weird...

 

[AllisMommy]

Heading to bed, goodnight all

Hey hun sorry you had such a crappie day, somedays turn out like that, like the whole world is out to get you! So your on cd1, sorry you didn't get your bfp this time around but at least you know where you are now & can be more certain this month. It's nice to get a normal bleed out of the way after mc too! I think Han12 has a shorter LP & I think she mentioned taking vitb6, maybe chat with her, mine are 15/16 days long so never had to look into it!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Han- happy 1st birthday to annabelle, have a great day!

mamamac- opk bag now out and AF has finally finished waa hoo! not sure what to make of your chart, surely your body has to give in soon?

elt- you gonna test soon, Feel any different??

Melissa- hope the bding going well!
