TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Yay you get to POAS! It will be ages until I can again! I have to say I'm happy to just chill in this 2ww, I'm going to temp until I get my cross hairs but thinking about leaving it after that but will see.
Where do you live by the way??

Mama - if you just got a load of cheapie opks I'd start around cd10 too. I tend to get the 50 opk pack though which costs nothing so I don't feel bad when I end up using loads per cycle!

Lol at analysing urine!! How is the ferning going? Was it accurate last month?
I'm not quite London, born in Hertfordshire, uni in Sheffield, travelled, then lived in London, then moved to current location of Surrey where we will probably stay! I will have to take a holiday to Devon when we have our babies to meet!
Mama/banana/Elt - would love to visit you all too!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Yeah yeah yeah that would be great han! we are defo all going to get our bfps & have babies, like very soon Xx

 

[IsaacRalph]

Some cycles the microscope is spot on & some months not! Last month I had quite a few days of partial ferning & 2 with full, the latest full being when I got my + opk I think! I wouldn't rely on it on its own but I think it would be great for couples not in a hurry to get pregnant as it Defo pinpoints your fertile window. I do like all the science involved in ttc, i'm such a geek! Te he x

Aww I wish I had a stick to PO - sitting here bored on Sunday morning, DH went for a few pints last night but I just felt so crappy for no reason I didn't go, so I Pretty much haven't left the house all weekend!! If AF doesn't arrive by Thursday night I'll prob take a test Friday morning but if she does I won't get to PO anything this month (and only PO 1 OPK!)

Meeting up would be great alright once we all get our babies!!! I'm it is a shame about the distance but my sister lives in Devon (or thereabouts I think!!)

afm, not much of an update really, had really bad cramps yesterday morning but they passed, also I stood up quickly yesterday evening and pulled a muscle exactly where I imagine my ovaries are which was odd but means nothing I'm sure. Boobs really sore this morning but again not bothering reading into it had all this last 2 months in the second week of the 2 week wait. I did read a good few places 85% of people have implantation between 6dpo & 10dpo, I thought it was mostly between 10dpo and 12dpo which would count me out. So makes me feel a bit better but still as I always say if you google enough you'll get any answer you want!!!

This post of yours says 6:27am. It is currently 12:35pm in the US, but I know you can set BnB to your time zone.

I set mine to my time zone and it showed up the right time. (12:35pm)

Well Hann...Looks like I am in the same position you were not too long ago. I did something to my back and now I can barely move, and of course ovulation should be right around the corner. If it isn't better in the next couple days, I may just have to grit my teeth, lay there and let DH do his thing, lol. I am not passing up a cycle of ttc because of my stupid back, and especially since I feel more confident with my LP. I'm thinking that a doctors appt is in order because it keeps getting worse.

Well, I hope everyone else is doing well and having better luck than me!

Hi girls!

Isaac - I have a few dollar store OPKs still sitting around here so I can start poas before my ICs arrive. I think I'll start using them tomorrow but prob just one a day unless I start seeing it get darker. I'm cd 14 tomorrow, but with my messed up cycles I don't anticipate the met to take me from 100 days to 28 days in one month! Just hoping for a shorter cycle. I've seen some pcos ladies say it brought them from 100 days to like 35 or 40 the first month so hoping that's the case at least! I may be peeing on A LOT of sticks this cycle!!! I did buy a 40 pk and it came with 10 pregnancy tests also so once they arrive I'll be well equipped! Luckily DH and I dtd pretty regularly anyway so hopefully I won't miss my window of opportunity if it actually presents itself!

 

[MamaMac123]

Question for all you moms already....how soon did you let family and friends know you were preggers the first time around? My bf just found out she's pregnant a few days ago and today she announced it to everyone. I was really surprised she announced to everyone so quickly. When do you guys think is good to announce? Besides saying it here of course, and telling maybe my parents and a couple closest friends, I don't think I'd be going totally public with it right away. Too many things that can go wrong in those first few weeks/months. Anyway, just wondered all your thoughts on it

 

[IsaacRalph]

Woo hoo for your cross hairs han!
Hope you Feel better soon elt x
Catch up laters at work

 

[banana07]

Oh no Elt - fingers crossed its just a pulled muscle and you'll be fit and ready to bd!!!

Mamamac - I didn't want to tell anyone till the 3month mark but DH insisted on tell our parents the week we found out (4 week), promised he wouldn't tell anyone but ended up telling all his sisters and then close friends so pretty much everyone close enough to us found out within the first couple of weeks. I told work at 12 weeks I couldn't hold it in any longer plus they had a pretty good idea when I stopped drinking a smoking all of a sudden but I kept denying it. This time around I have a list of 5-6 people I will tell straight away 3 friends, mammy & 2 sisters and I'm sure DH is the same he'll want to tell his 2-3 close friends and sister etc...

My rule of thumb is who would I tell if I something went wrong anyway - thats who I'll tell anyway. Thats my theory anyway!!

So I'm 8dpo today, boobs were in agony last night went for a walk on the beach and could barley move with the bounce - so so sore and almost cried when I took my bra off in bed last night so hard not to read into it but I know I had this in the 2nd half of the 2ww last 2 months..... Wishful thinking tho. Oh also had small sharp intermitten pains down my very lower right had side last night, kept imagining it was Implantation, was egging (sorry for the pun!) it on in my head!!! Still feel out tho.....

Anyway busy day of work ahead of me.

Thanks for the time updates - will see if I can change it to IRL/UK

 

[Hann12]

Banana I hope the symptoms do mean something, not long now before you know for sure at least!

Elt - nightmare about your back! I hope it gets better before ov time. I was lucky that mine did get better in time

Isaacralph - yay I know great to see the cross hairs yippee! Hope works not too bad!

Mama - we had an early scan at 8 weekS and saw the heartbeat and after that we told my parents, brother and sister. Then we told DH family at 11 weeks as it was Xmas. Then told friends after the 12 week scan. I was very sick though, this time we will see how I feel and then decide when to tell people as I might need to tell my mum earlier because I might need help with my DD.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Quick reply- sounds promising banana! Sharp stabby pains are good sign. That's what I did when pregnant with ds, felt implantation at about 7dpo & at the time I was imagining it was eggy burying down! Hopefully this will be the same for you too, fx'd!

Mama- I told my close family & friends straight away & by about 7 weeks everybody knew, this mainly cuz of my job & the risks involved, xrays, lifting etc! I don't think I'd make a point of telling people but I wouldn't worry about telling people I'd had a miscarriage cuz after experiencing this with my first pregnancy it was much better to have the support & people to talk to

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks for sharing the announcement stories guys

Elt - hope your back gets feeling better really soon! Back pain is the worst!!

Banana - fx the pains are implantation!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Quiet in here today...hope everyone's doing alright

Took my first OPK for this cycle today...totally negative, oh well, didn't expect anything this soon really. Got the email from amazon that my IC tests have shipped hopefully they'll be here soon!

 

[Hann12]

It would have been amazing to have a positive opk now mama but you will and hopefully not too long!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Same here mama, totally -ve opk today!
