TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

Ut

Runnergirl- I am so sorry you have to go through this. If you ever need someone to talk to or just vent to I'm always ready to listen!

Hann- I'm glad you're feeling better. I was so sick the first few weeks so I feel you. It's hard taking care of a little one when all you want to do is curl up on the couch!

Elt- I can't believe you still haven't gotten AF or a BFP. Like the other girls said, I think a trip to the doctor's might be warranted. If anything it will give you some peace of mind over what's going on.

Issac-That's strange about the OPK. I know I usually ovulated about two days after my first + but I suppose it's possible you just caught the tail end of a short surge this month?

Aiden- Welcome! I would be testing like crazy if I was 4 days late but I have no self control haha. Good luck tomorrow!

Mama- That is weird about the temperature dip. Seems a little bit early for a pre-O dip but who knows? I have my FX that soy does the trick for you this cycle.

Banana- Hoping AF didn't make her appearance but if she did lots and lots of love and luck for this cycle.

Lots of all around

Thanks hun nice to hear from you, how's the bubs? Had any scans lately? So i'm confused just done another ic opk with very diluted urine & its still positive? Would it still be positive if I ovulate yesterday & had a geniune temp rise? Who knows?

 

[marieb]

That is so weird! If you got another positive, I'd be inclined to think the other was a fluke, or a false negative. If you ovulated yesterday I doubt it would still be positive unless you were catching the very last little bit of your surge. I always got a - after my temp rise though. It will be interesting to see what your temperatures do over the next few days!

Baby is good. I've had a couple more episodes of bleeding but so far nothing too serious or that could harm baby. I'm also starting to feel kicks now which is super exciting and reassuring. We have our anatomy scan on the 17th which I'm a little bit nervous about, but definitely looking forward to

Oh that's excellent news Marie so happy for you! I love it when you can Feel baby moving, can't wait to Feel it again, hopefully soonish! Maybe you'll just have harmless bleeding throughout, many women do. You finding out the sex, have you an idea what it is? Re-opk i'm not doubting them being positive I was doubting my high temp 36.8 this am but as I previously mentioned i'm unwell & hadn't really slept from 4 & had super warm quilt on. So I think my temp was a fluke & I Feel like i'm ovulating today, am in agony & would like to get more bding before the window closes. Anyway I'll stop ranting now, keep in touch & let us all know how your scan goes Xx

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey everyone!

Marie - so good to hear from you! So exciting to feel the baby! I'm dying to know what tht feels like! Glad everything is going well

Isaac - odd about temp rise but I think your logic is correct. I'd disregard today's temp. Bet you're ov today or tomorrow. Good luck with the Monica haha feel better!!!

Hann - glad you got some good sleep!

Elt - I agree with the girls. Hope you are a doc soon. Just to be safe

Aiden - fx for testing tomorrow!!!

Afm - I've got mega cramping going on tonight. Feel yucky and tired. What do ov pain feel like? What physical cues let you know it's coming? Still think its early for ov but ff predicts fertile days start today...not like that means anything with me haha

Evening girls

Issac - I would say on instinct I think I always Ov really close after getting the smiley face again I don't do my temps but just seem to know it happens withing 12 ish hours - I would say the digis are super nonsensitive so only get it at the peak not the rise like the IC but I suppose even at that its pretty early for such a temp rise!! Funny you have the winter blank out - I put on the elec blanket and fire for first time this week!! Hopefully we'll all have little built in hot water bottles/babies soon to keep us lovely and warm!! Oh and glad the "monica" went well!!!

Runner girl, I so sorry this is dragging on for you - hope you get a break soon

Elt - Agree with the other girls you should go to doc - just so you know what is going on

Hann - I just love that you are as regular here as when you were ttc!!!

Welcome Aiden Have you ever been late before? Jes thats 2 now on here now who are late with BFNs!!???

Mama - my goodness that was a low drop and I admit to knowing very little about temping but that looks huge!! - Am sure it must be the Soy or PCOS - am sure your getting plenty of Bding in anyway!!

Afm, AF was due today but am not considering myself late until Wednesday as my lp increased by 2days last month from 10 to 12 so could easily do the same but by last months 12daylp standards she is due today or in 22minutes I'll be late!! - Ah no totally feel her coming just know she is have the sharp cramps etc, had a wee cry earlier for very little reason (just a little one now mind you!!). Have no tests here at home and I'm unbelievably busy in work so no time to pop out and get them, I'm glad really I'd have spent a fortune by now, earliest I'll be able to get them is lunchtime tomorrow so Wednesday morning (14dpo) if I hold out to use fmu but I 99% it won't even get to that stage as I said I know she is coming.

My sister was just diagnosed with PCOS (or however you say it). I haven't spoke to her yet but Mammy says shes pretty upset. She came off the pill last summer (only reason she told me was because she was due to be my bridesmaid) so knew she was trying, didn't want to pry to much but did ask her after the wedding if everything was ok and she admitted she hadn't had a period since she came of the pill a year previous but she was terrified to go to the doc. I think it was because she was adamant she didn't want kids she wanted to adopt but her husband really pushed it and she eventually fell for it - then to find out it wasn't going to just happen after she spent so long setting her heart on it - think it just hit her pretty hard. She's in England so really hard to call her costs a ton but will send her a good long e-mail during the week and try to pop into the office at the weekend and give her a sneaky call!!

 

[banana07]

OH I seemed to have missed the final page before I replied - Sorry MarieB!! - Oh god how exciting you can feel the baby - tbh it always freaked me out but still will be looking forward to it, maybe it will be different this time since it a planned and not a surprise baby for me!!!

Its after midnight now and I'm still up and I've to be in work super early tomorrow and meant to have a shower before bed ugh oh and was meant to meet my friends in the pub but nah I'm sitting here looking up new stoves for the new house etc... I've been passed out in bed by 9/10pm every night this is the first night that I am able to stay awake - another reason I believe AF is on her way the tiredness and pretty much ever other single symptom I had are now gone sickness etc.. Bbs still sore, still a bit of creamy cm and wee bit of nausea but nothing serious I'm well able to eat unfortunately!!

 

[elt1013]

Hello ladies and welcome Aiden! So, you are late too? I am over a week late now, 20dpo, and several BFNs!

Marie- nice to hear you and the baby are well. Now we just need to see some scan pictures!

Hann- Hopefully the sicky feeling will be gone soon and wont last forever like it did for me.

Isaac- Like banana, I would go with instinct on that one as you know your body better than anyone/anything else.

banana- I know you are not considering yourself late, but it sounds like you are to me by a day so far! I am starting to get excited for you!

Mama- I don't really get O pain, so I can't help you there, but hopefully that is what you are feeling. I have heard from some ladies that they feel sick and get cramps on one side and others just get a pinching pain on one side for a few minutes and thats it. It is so different for everyone.

AFM- still no sign of AF. I am getting a little bit of sharp pains in my bbs today on and off but not too much. I don't have a regular doctor, so if I call tmrw for an appt, it may take awhile to get in. I am not too worried because even if it is a luteal cyst, they are rarely dangerous and doctors usually just watch them anyhow. If I start feeling any sort of unusual pain, I will go to the ER. The only thing that makes me think it isn't that is that I don't have any PMS and everything I have read says that since they produce progesterone, people usually have PMS with them? And considering I usually get PMS pretty bad, it seems like I would have something. Anyhow, I am going to look around to see if I can find any urgent care places in the area so that I could get in quicker to see someone.

 

[marieb]

Issac- We're going to stay team yellow this time! We found out with DS and it was so much fun but since we already have lots of baby clothes and won't be decorating a nursery we decided to keep it a birth day surprise!

Mama- My O pain usually started on one side in my back near by hip and then eventually radiated throughout my entire lower back. They weren't as painful as AF cramps but were certainly noticeable.

Banana- I know when I got my BFP I had lots of AF like cramps and was convinced I'd start any second. I hope that's what ends up happening for you! My fingers are crossed.

Elt- Hope you get into see a doctor soon. I'm sure it will be nice for you to know what's going on.

I do have a picture from my 14 week ultrasound that I can share:

I love seeing pics! Looks perfect...it's not that often that people keep the sex a surprise so that will be extra special when he/she comes.

I forgot to add that FF is predicting me possibly fertile from October 3-8 (like mama said, not that it means much), but why would they even consider that possible when I haven't had AF and started a new cycle? The weird stuff FF does sometimes!

 

[runnergrl]

Love the scan pic! Looks like we might be getting a BFP in here very soon! Two ladies are late

Looks like I started my period today. ?!!? So weird. That or tons of spotting. It's been 28 days since the MC, but my OB said it wasn't likely I would ovulate, or have a period until my levels of HCG drop off to zero. Maybe they have??? That would be fabulous and I wouldn't need the D&C after all. Please pray! I really don't want to have to go back to the hospital where I lost my daughter and have my insides scraped out. It's kind of like a nightmare to me. Please!!!

What you may be feeling mama is ovary pain, I had aches & stretchy feeling when i was on the clomid this started few days after taking it up until ovulation. Its Like a dull stabby stretchy pain I felt. Hopefully this is a good sign that your ovaries are responding to the soy & you've got a few follies in there growing, fx'd! Keep opking & bding.

Hey banana hope & praying you get to tomoz without AF so you can poas & hopefully get a bfp, the nausea still sounds a good symptom x

Yeah they do produce progesterone but just enough to keep your period at bay so its possible that you do have one, looking at your temps when you ovulated you've had a rise in progesterone at the peak did you have pms symptoms? Hopefully if this isn't your bfp on its way, the cyst is on its way out cuz looking at your temps its not producing a lot of progesterone

Aww that's so sweet marie, totally with you on not finding out the sex! We found out with ds but won't find out Next time, if there's a next time! Would love another little boy as that's what I see myself with but a girl would be neat too!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Afm- feeling much better, got a ropey chesty cough but apart from that Feel fine! Put our original quilt on last night & I slept ok couldn't sleep until 1ish with this cough but woke at 6.30 temps was back to normal pre ov temp, so I think my instinct was correct & I ovulated late yesterday as I was in agony! anyway so we dtd sun avo, Mon avo & just this morning, hoping & praying for a miracle! Expect to see temp rise tomoz morning & I think ff will assume I ovulate today. Ultrasound for me later

 

[Hann12]

Hope the scan goes well IssacRalph! I think you must have caught the eggy!!

Mama the pains sound very positive - really hope the soy has worked!

Banana - I'm still hoping for you, let us know how you get on!!

Elt - I have no experience of cysts but I'd try and get in to see a dr if I were you, you should get a blood test just to be sure about pregnancy. Fx!

Marie - love the scan photo! So cute! I'm not sure whether to find out gender this time, part of me wants to so i can bond with the baby before it's born, part of me wants a surprise again. I don't know!!

Runnergrl - i don't know much about it but could you do a pregnancy test to see if there is any hcg left in your system? I hope the spotting means it's all gone and you don't have to have the procedure

My parents are here later for 24 hours as I have my checking in appointment with the mw in the morning tomorrow. Just the usual blood work etc but hoping I'll get scheduled for my 12 week scan. It's my DHs birthday at the weekend and he has Friday off work to spend with us, then on sat I'm taking him away for the night to a hotel in London, I've booked dinner in a really nice restaurant then have arranged for his friends to go to a bar to surprise him. It's going to be a tough night for me because not only will I be tired and probably nauseous (will be popping pills!) but I have to somehow cover up the not drinking. Thinking of drinking tonic and pretending it's a G&T, it worked on my 30th with my DD. We aren't meeting his friends until 9.30pm so I'm hoping everyone will be a bit tipsy by then and won't notice what I'm drinking!! My sister and BIL are there so they can help cover things too.
Right better go as my DD should be asleep but doesn't appear to be napping after all!!

Hopefully if this isn't your bfp on its way, the cyst is on its way out cuz looking at your temps its not producing a lot of progesterone

I didn't have any pms even at the peak, which is weird for me. I am hoping if that is what it is, it is on it's way out! My temps seem to just be hovering over the coverline, and another BFN on frer this morning, so I am doubtful of pregnancy. I am going to see if I can get an appt with a doctor, but I am not going to stress to bad about it until I find out what is going on.

 

[runnergrl]

So sorry. but I am on cd2 and you're on cd1, so we're cycle buddies now

 

[elt1013]

banana- so sorry , but just be glad you get to start a new cycle!

Isaac- lets hope you get a nice temp rise tmrw morning and get to start your tww. Sounds like you have your bases covered with bd, so hopefully this is it for you.

Hann- Have a nice time out with your DH! Sounds like you have nice plans for him for his bday and he will love it.
