TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[ooSweetPea]

Hann so pleased for you that you got your crosshairs! FX'd for at least 10 days however Issac is right - you will be armed with your charts when you go to the dr and hopefully that will eliminate some waiting around to be out on progesterone supps if you need them

Afm, got my digi + this am... It took forever for the little hourglass to stop turning so I was sure it would be neg but it wasn't!

Wow I only left for 4 days and 3 BFPs!!!!

Congrats to Jessica, sanchez & Sweetpea!!! 3 in one month that is just unreal!!

Sla & Hann looks like we in the awful 2ww together this month!! I don't know about ye but every min feels like an hour!!! I'm desperate to POAS but know there is no point and I only have the clearblues & First response ones no cheapies
to be messing with! Did you say Hanna you only have one shot at this month we only have 2 why do DHs not understand being tired or cranky or dying is not an excuse not to BD!!! Hopefully we will be next months 3 BFP - when are ye starting testing??

AFM - am now about 5dpo and swaying between thinking I am def preg to def not preg. I have had constant cramps in Ov but mostly just dull aches with the odd sharp one thrown in but remember I had cramps like this a full week constant before Ov too so god knows what it could be. Read on another website last night loads of people getting constant cramps before their BFP but on another saying any symptoms before 9dpo are not preg related as the egg has not implanted so can't be considered.

The few days away was grand made the first few days of the 2ww a little easier but still thought about it every min of every day and every single dream i had was preg related!!!


Sorry now if I forgot to congratulate or reply to anyone but so much to catch up on after only 4 days!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Wow! Exciting couple of days in here! Congrats again to Jessica and Sanchez and a big congrats to Sweetpea!!!!! So excited for all the !

Welcome back banana! Glad your couple days away were awesome! Good luck with the TWW!

Hann - yay for crosshairs!!!! Once is all it takes Hun and your timing for the one shot was great! Fx!

Isaac - I hear that about clomid all the time. People take it and nothing happens and then the first month off of it they get their bfp! That's how my friend got pregnant with her twins after ttc for over a year. Interesting.

Afm - just feeling down about ttc. I think I've been just sort of ignoring it the last few days which is why I haven't really been around. I haven't even been checking my cervix or cm the last couple days. I have taken my temp but it's so all over the place it tells me nothing. Going to call the doc today and make sure the office has all my results ready to go. With my luck I'll go in there Monday and they'll be missing or something! Had a dream last night I started my AF and was so excited. Then I woke up lol.

One thing, I've had a constant ache in my lower back on the right side for weeks now. Today I feel it on the left side. Very odd and sort of hoping it might mean something but it's prob just a sore muscle from sleeping weird or something like that. I hate how I over analyze every twinge and ache now....and actually as I type this I think I know what it is...DH took me to the driving range last nigh! Bet I'm just sore from that. Mystery solved right as I type it haha

Anyway, just want some answers and something to do. Almost to cycle day 80. This is ridiculous!

 

[banana07]

Aww mamamac - I feel for you I really do have all my fingers and toes crossed that you get some answers with the doc. x

 

[ooSweetPea]

Mama I have everything crossed that you get some answers soon - this just sucks and I so hope that it is an easy fix and you will be racing toward your BFP in no time.

Big to you sweets.

 

[Hann12]

Mamamac - 80 days is too much, feel so bad for you! Hopefully the doctor can start your AF for you then you can really start properly. I really hope the doctors help! Good idea to call ahead for the results.

Banana - welcome back! I am 3dpo and no symptoms, but thinking there wouldn't be this early anyway! Glad we can wait it out together! Mine will go fast over the next few days as I'm at my parents for my mums 60th birthday so my mind is otherwise occupied! I'm going to dr on mon and will see if they will take my bloods same day as I'll be 7dpo.

I don't know what my LP was when TTC with my DD as I dusn't monitor anything! Maybe I've always had the issue!

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks girls I feel bad coming in here so down in the dumps when everyone else is being happy and hopefully. Sorry, hope Im not dragging anyone down.

Hann - your charts looking great! hope the doc does the bloods again for you. Everything looks spot on but always nice to be totally sure. Fx for a good LP!

 

[MamaMac123]

Sweetpea - I was all excited when I read your post about your chart looking the same as your last pregnancy. Holly had that too didn't she? Seems like a good indicator if your trying for #2 to compare to your first pregnancy chart (if you have one). Anyone else have past pregnancy charts to compare with? I totally would if I did!

 

[Hann12]

Mamamac - I totally understand, it's worse some days than others. When TTC my DD I had months without anything happening and I went to the dr for help and he told me to go away and wouldn't do anything. I conceived at the next ovulation though so it can happen. It's hard to keep the faith that it will though!

Well I just had a reasonable amount of EWCM, 3dpo - how weird is that?? I know that some people get a second estrogen surge at 6/7 Dpo which can give that but not at 3dpo. I have definitely ovulated, I am sure of that!

 

[banana07]

Hey ladies so am 5/6 dpo and trying to figure out if I actually have symptoms or its all just in my head

dull achey cramps - but have had these since 5 days before Ov!
Been feeling fairly nauseous - pretty much since day of Ov thought it was something I ate as I did vomit 1dpo but its not going comes and goes in waves during the day afternoon/night worst
Was giving out about really vivid weird dreams when we were away in the hotel never put 2+2 together till I was reading about other people early preg symptoms and apparently it is on of them.
Stomach feels weird - I know if there was anything in there it would only be the size of a speck of dust but feel bloated and weird in lower stomach - and keep putting my hands on it with out realising (This was one of my first symptoms with DS + sore boobs - but he was a surprise so I was in denial and pretended it wasn't happening - total opposite to now!!!)
Just feel a bit odd really - can't put my finger on it but just not myself....

Prob being none of these are physical so it could well be just in my head - don't know how i'm gonna last next 10 days to POAS and even worse didn't get a bfp with ds till AF was 7 days late had a bfn the day she was due...

Hey you are always welcome to vent or anything on here, that's what we're here for! I would've gone slightly mad at a 80+ cycle but hopefully that'll be coming to an abrupt end very soon! Interesting about the charting, I have mine on ff from when I got bfp with ds, should I compare this month?I usually stop charting after I get crosshairs! I was thinking only today that I might carry on temping this month as nothing makes the tww anymore bearable even not charting

 

[ooSweetPea]

Mama - we will always be here for you so no need to apologize... you can vent to us anytime and we will always listen and be virtual shoulders to lean on. TTC is a total rollercoaster and there are happy highs and tearful lows - it is one of the most emotional processes that I think a woman can go through. It took us a lot longer (although not super long) to fall pg with my DS and I totally feel like an imposter this time around catching on the first try so feel free to tell me to shut it! And that goes for any of you girls - if you don't want me to hang around the thread I will totally understand

I remember reading about how similar Holly's charts were! It is so odd - I really didn't think that they would be THAT similar but my charts really look almost the same. I almost feel that if I would've tested at 7DPO in the evening this time around, it would have been + because my cheapie was pretty obvious by 8DPO AM - just like last time. Crazy!

Hann I usually get a small estrogen surge (with temp drop) around 5 DPO but I think it can happen anywhere from 3-9 DPO? Maybe that's what it was - but you know what they say about fertile CM in the LP, could be a good sign! Loving your chart!

Banana - all those signs sound good so far! I've read before that just progesterone in general can cause vivid dreams, which makes sense as I can almost use vivid dreams as a sign that I ov'd, and when they stop I know AF is coming. However the whole 'feeling odd' thing is a big one for me... just a little niggling thought that something isn't 'right' and it won't leave the back of your mind - this happened both times for me. I think this time I was forcing my brain to think that there was no way that it could possibly happen the first time around, but that little thought wouldn't go away.

AFM - the morning sickness is starting already for me. This was my # 1 fear about getting pg again because last time I had severe hyperemesis and ended up on a home IV followed by a reglan pump (needle in my belly that constantly dispensed medication) and it was just really hard... and lasted until I gave birth. I almost feel that the constant vomitting is what made my cervix weaked to the extent it did, from all the pressure and strain - and that's why I ended up with an emergency cerclage. I called the dr a little while ago and told them it was already starting and they called in a script right away for zofran and I am praying that getting started on that early will keep things from spiraling out of control again. It was just such a shock to wake up already with it... I am not even 4 weeks and it didn't start for me until closer to 6 last time, so I am already scared that it will be even worse this time around. HELP!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks sweetpea, it was a bit sticky but some was stretchy. I think I just have to forget about it and not let it worry me. It's easy to get worried that something is amiss!!
As for the sickness, I had hypermesis too so can sympathise but yours sounds worse! I got mine last time at 4 weeks too. I hope the zofran helps, I was given something else last time but it was rubbish and I continued to throw up loads. That's the downside I guess - we forget though and do it all again because the outcome is sooo worth it! Focus on the little bean to get you through. Oh and it's apparently a good sign to be sick so at least there is that!!

 

[melissasbump]

congrats sweetpea! Fab news! I dont envy the sickness, I also had Hyperemisis and it was quite soul destroying at times, Mine started around 5 weeks and lasted the entire pregnancy.

Sorry ive not been about lately, been working nights and its wrecked me!
Im currently on 7DPO, Feel nauseas, low down crampings and tighenings and in last 24 hours creamy white CM.
I gave in and tested today, obviously BFN but i did have my hopes up a little.

Sorry, ive not caught up properly, am now gonna scroll back..

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks again girls and Sweetpea, def stick around! I actually get way excited over the because it gives me hope that it really does happen and because I know you're all as excited and wanting this as I am. I'm kinda sad the other girls have faded off, but I get it too. Onto the pregnancy forum! But it is sad being the pathetic ones left behind haha so stay as long as ou like in my opinion! I like hearing how the pregnancies are going too

Welcome back around Melissa!

Hann - good call on cm. don't obsess. Just relax, enjoy the family time and let the 2 weeks fly by

Ooo neat! I'd def keep an eye on it. Can't hurt

 

[banana07]

Mamamac sorry I went ranting on about my signs and symptoms and never said anything to you after your sad post As the girls said venting is what these forums are for highs lows and everything in between I wish I had read your post properly before I went on my rant - Sorry again. This is only our 2nd cycle so can't pretend to know how you feeling shurly the doc will see 80days is just not on and give you some magic baby dust - do not leave there without answers and a plan of action, to many docs nowadays fob people off to easily saying they just don't know I know my father has been to a doc 3 times in last 2 months about a pain and they just kept saying they didn't know only today he refused to leave the room without answers or a plan of action. As I said if they dare say to you they just don't know demand to be referred to some who does know!!

Chin up - you've a whole team of ladies here rooting for you with fingers crossed x

 

[Hann12]

Mamamac I like bananas idea that you just refuse to leave until they properly help you!! I might take that approach on Monday - tell them that they have to take my blood then or I am staying there all week lol!!
I seriously get the fed up days, I'm soooo down about the whole LP thing, I can't see me ever getting a BFP!

 

[elt1013]

So mine was only 9 days last month.
I really just want it to be 10 or more, that's all I ask for this month!!

I didn't realize we have the same LP. And I said the same thing...Please just let me have 10 days and I will be happy!! I am not asking for a complete miracle, just 1 more day. Hopefully the B vits will help us out.

I hope the b vits help too, I have a feeling they won't for me as I was taking them last cycle. Maybe I need to increase them.

So I realised that last nights cm wasn't EWCM - it was a bit stretchy but had the same consistency and colour as creamy cm and it was creamy this morning. And my temp was up again although I did wake up at 4.30 and didn't take it then, my DD woke up so I was up but the temp is pretty consistent so I'm sure it's fairly accurate.
