TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Jessicabaxter]

Jess I was wondering the same thing lol!!!

Oh I had a medical syringe knocking around, it was a thin long one! Just by chance I had one but I am a nurse so have quite a good medical cupboard! Got my crosshairs today wasn't expecting that until tomoz, not sure how accurate that is cuz cd17 I had bad ov pains, either way bases covered! Will be around girls Xx

That's to cool! I am a nurse as well but meet would have thought to use a syringe more power to ya sista!

Ha Issac - Brillant - Fair play to ya!!

Melloyello - I haven't a clue much about implantation dip have never taken my temp for the purposes of ttc so can't help at all there - most of the other girls temp all the time tho so maybe they can help!

Hann, thanks for asking, Ah I dunno I don't want to whinge to much cause I know i'm only cycle 2 there are alot of people both in here and in general alot worse of trying a hell of a lot longer than me and people with cp's and mc's but I just feel like sh1t, am just devestated I missed this month really thought I was in with a good chance. Next month is my last shot at it working out well for taking time off work after that it doesn't really matter once I hit a June due date. I just want it all now now now!!!! (sound and feel like a spoilt brat there!!!). How are you?? Oh and just found out today - my sister has been trying for over a year with nothing, my mother tried to have me 4 years and she had to have treatment for secondary infertility - talk about making me feel worse then I already am.

I am sure I'll be grand again in a few days, its crappy but obv made worse by the joyfull hormones AF brings along with her!! Suppose to put things in perspective I almost cried this morning when I realised I pick up Rasberry Jam instead of Strawberry Jam!!!

I got my bloods back for FSH, LH and estradiol levels, all really good, especially FSH - low for my age so I am over the moon. Its just the progesterone thats the issue which they think is because I BF for 8 months and hopefully my body will adjust soon. If not progesterone supplements in Sept. Will see how this cycle goes. I'm hoping that as its the 5th cycle after BF I might get back to normal soon. Feeling more positive now anyway

 

[banana07]

That's great new Hann and ever better to hear how positive your feeling (send a little bit of that my way please!!!)

Ah Banana you've only just started trying and no reason to think that you shouldn't be successful soon so FX for you. Its been hard for me knowing that there is something wrong so TTC for the past 4 cycles has felt in vain but at least I feel like I'm on the right track now. I know I still have minimal chance this month as I doubt my levels will just change like that but will still give it a go!

How is everyone? It's been a quiet weekend. Any news or updates?

I woke up yesterday with TONS of EWCM. I went from none to a ton. Today is CD20 so it looks like this will be one of my longer cycles. But, I'm happy to know that we didn't miss our eggy already while we were abstaining for testing. Hoping those results come back soon too..

Hope all is well!

Thats great happycpl! Hopefully you will get it this time!
I'm still around, been on my new diet since sat - was told to go low GI, apparently sugars affect hormones and cause a hormone swing. I've bought a load of health foods, never seen such a rainbow of colours. Might even help me lose a bit of tummy before my holiday lol!

Have any of you tried/heard of maca? I read about it on a fertility diet site, I might get some. Its a natural root plant found in the rainforests and meant to help balance hormones which is what I need! The soy was definitely a bad idea for me, it gives you more estrogen which I definitely don't need! I might try maca though, I'm hoping it might give my progesterone a kick start!

 

[HappyCpl]

I've not heard of that. I'm afraid to do anything that messes with my hormones. According to my lab work, my hormones are fine. I find that to be BS b/c how can my cycles be so screwy if my hormones are fine? But oh we'll... Lol. We only have until next month. If we aren't pregnant by then and DH checks out ok, then we are going to start Clomid.

I'm worried it's going to make me a basket case...

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hi girls! Good luck trying to catch that egg happycpl sounds like your very fertile atm, not tempted to use opk?? Han if I were you I'd try a complete natural month before trying anything new, remember you've not long stopped bfing so hormones are probably all over the place.
Afm- 5-6 dpo absolutely no symptoms not that i'm trying to spot, had quite a lot of creamy cm but that's it! Just been to the dentist & had the most traumatising painful experience! She attempted to do a route canal but couldn't get the anesthetic right! she had to abandon the procedure in the end! oh well bday suprise tomorrow

Well I'm the opposite, my cycles appear fine but my hormones are screwy lol! What a pair we are!! I hope you conceive before the clomid. My fertility nurse mentioned clomid to me but she thinks it may over stimulate my follicles as mine are in pretty good shape - guess they are worried I could end up with triplets or something!! I'm hoping things just sort themselves out on my own but will see!!

Sorry to hear about your dentist. That's horrible!

Can't wait to hear about your bday suprise.

I am dying to use an OPK. But I promised DH I'd just go with it this month. Lots of EWCM today too. We DtD thought before last. Gonna go for it tonight too less stress in DH this way.

Hann, we are quite the pair. Since you just stopped BF a few months ago, it's prob just your body straightening itself out again. Good luck to you.

 

[Hann12]

I should leave it for this month you are right - you know how it is though, just want a miracle cure lol!!

Dentist sounds horrid! Hope you have a nice birthday! Hopefully no symptoms are good, probably too early for symptoms anyway

Happycpl - def get BD - just don't mention the EWCM to your hubby! FX for you - hear loads of stories about people getting their BFP the month before they were due to take clomid, hope that's you!

 

[HappyCpl]

IsaacRalph- It is so hard not to symptom watch. Just like "not trying". You say you aren't, but we always do... Lol. I'm still keeping up with everything on FF. the hard part will be trying to figure out when to use HPT... Since I'm on CD20 today, I'm thinking 2weeks out should be good. On previous months I would always get CM 3 days before a + OPK.

This thought just hit me... Could it be that my body is slow to show LH in my urine? If I'm showing all signs of OV days before +? Hmmm....

 

[IsaacRalph]

Happycpl- re your LH, not sure about you but I always have few days of ov pain & ewcm before my + opk, I usually ovulate the day after first +! Let's just be certain your most likely in your fertile phase & will hopefully ovulate soon. Then ff will pick it up when tour temp rises!
Han- yeah just go with it this month, complety natural! I know its hard cuz every month you want that bfp even more, & it feels like a life time away! But I really don't think you should after the soy. Just remember there is always help if it turns out you do have a problem with your hormones x

I know you are right - I'm just impatient lol!!! I will leave this month and see what happens though. I'm booked in for a scan on Saturday to check for cysts etc. They want to check because I had that random spotting last month pre ovulation. Hopefully it was nothing.

Happycpl - I ovulated last month the day after the first positive opk too. We may all be different though!

IssacRalph - def hard not to symptom spot!!

 

[Hann12]

Oh and your chart is looking nice!

 

[Jessicabaxter]

Hi ladies, I started bleedin it started out pink then went to bright red it's not tons but I know it's not normal I'm not crampin too bad tho any ideas ? Gonna call doc in mornin

I'm sorry, hopefully it's nothing too serious. It could be a dip in progesterone, that can cause bleeding or some people get break through bleeding like a period. One of my friends constantly bled throughout and her baby was fine. To be honest I'd just go to the hospital and get it checked now anyway rather than waiting for the dr just to be in the safe side. Hopefully it's all fine though, I know if you google it there are loads of sites saying it can be very normal

Like Hann said, it could be any number of things. But def should get it checked out. Let us know what they say. We'll be worried about ya.

 

[Hann12]

Jessica are you okay? Did you go in and get checked out
