Good luck, drjo!

 

[Mom15]

Please join us drjo! I hope you don't have to wait as long this time around. If you don't mind me asking, are you nursing? I am still only twice a day, but it seems to influence my cycle enough to have a short LP. I also have a roughly 6cm fibroid, and long irregular cycles. I ovulate anywhere from cd25 to cd40.

Thanks everyone!

Mom15- I'm not still nursing. I had severe milk supply problems but nursed/pumped and supplemented til about 7 months. I was getting less than 5mL (that's milliliters, not ounces) at a time at that point and Nora had stopped nursing the previous month. Very sad but I did everything I could.

 

[Mom15]

I'm sure you did and I'm sorry you had supply issues . I have to remind myself sometimes that I'm fortunate that I still get to nurse. We are to the point where it's a big habit for DS to fall asleep and while good nutrition he doesn't have to rely on it for nutrition.

 

[Mom15]

FxMummy - how are you? Aren't you close to the end of your tww?

 

[fxmummyduck]

Hi mom15, no I'm 2dpo so just at the beginning of my tww. Not feeling very hopeful though, we managed to bd 3days in a row, then a night off and I think I Od the day after that so we bd again then. But I've had such a terrible virus I caught off ds that I can't believe it will have worked.

 

[Mom15]

I gotcha. Your ticker threw me off. Who knows seems like when you least expect it, it works. It's way too early for me to O, but I think I'll do a test in the morning just to see what it looks like.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Yeh stupid thing sorry!! I just don't have a regular cycle to keep up with that ticker! Need to get rid of it but I'm being lazy on my phone!

I've had the worst post O pain in my right side for the last two days, it almost feels bruised and sore. I don't think it can be O pain as my cm turned cloudy the day after as it always does m.

Welcome to any new ladies!!! All are welcome to come and chat

Congrats MrsK!!! h&h 9months!

So last week my dh and ds were sick (flu and cold respectively) right before Christmas so I was even more tired than normal pregnancy tiredness. Then the 30th I got the stomach bug dh had and felt horrible (up every 2 hrs during the night)

I also had an ob appointment that am where I was told that I have gd and will have to talk to the gd specialist (kind of expected bc I had gd w ds but was hoping to not this time) and like w ds my numbers are only a little off

 

[Mom15]

Fxmummy - I think once the egg is released the corpus luteum forms and continues to grow. Maybe that's where your pain comes from. Hopefully that means a really mature egg popped

MiBaby - I'm sorry the gd didn't stay away. I know about it, but don't really know how it is managed. Do you have to watch your nutrition? Take meds? Can't believe you are 30 weeks. I think you had just gotten your bfp when I joined this thread.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Thanks mom15, I hope so. It's still so painful me and dh couldn't ahem, be intimate. My boobs are SO sore too, no idea what's going on.

Mibaby sorry about the gd, hope they can look after you both and it's not too much of a problem. Like mom15 I can't believe you are 30 weeks already!!!

 

[Mom15]

Fxmummy - how is your pain? Hopefully it has subsided.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Hi mom15, I'm doing better thanks the pain is ok just walking about etc, but dh and I tried again last night to bd and certain positions it still really hurt! I've just replaced that for the most sensitive boobs ever. Since 1 dpo, ouch they've got worse and worse. Not a good sign for me as every month we've been trying this has happened and it's not been a symptom of a bfp.

How are you? Have you done any opks?

 

[MrsKChicago]

Sensitive breasts can go either way! Mine killed me the first trimester with my son. I think I'm only being spared now because I'm still breastfeeding.

 

[fxmummyduck]

Mine did hurt in the first trimester but it was from 6 weeks onwards!

 

[Mom15]

I have done one opk and as expected it had a really faint line. Now I'm probably going to wait till I see some change in CM. Haven't checked today, but it should be creamy/white. Do you think you could have a corpus luteum cyst?

MrsK - I'm curious if you notice it a drop in supply? I read it doesn't happen until later often times.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I have a feeling something has changed, but I don't know if it's supply or taste or something else. Teddy's only nursing at naps and overnight anyway, but he seems less attached lately. He's started asking for his cup of water after nursing and overnight sometimes. I'll probably night wean him in February after our vacation because I'm struggling with him not sleeping through with this pregnancy fatigue. I never planned to nurse past a year, so he's lucky he made it this far.

 

[Mom15]

I don't know what your sleeping situation is, but here is what we are doing. First he was in a crib, but at some point maybe 13-15 month I couldn't get him to go back to sleep in it so I'd bring him to bed, sometimes as early as bedtime or around 9/10pm. In bed with me he'd nurse on and off. Then in November I decided to put two crib mattresses on the floor in his room so I can lay down and nurse him to sleep and he has gradually woken up less, or I should say he'll briefly cry but will go back to sleep. Unfortunately due to his cold he is waking up more again. Just thought I'd let you know what worked for us and didn't even require weaning in a sense.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Thanks for the tip. Right now he sleeps a good stretch in his crib, then I bring him to bed when he wakes up, and that's when he starts to really nurse frequently. In the past when I've been good about putting him back in the crib the first time he wakes, he's gradually gotten to a second good stretch or a really long first one, but it's always a struggle at the beginning and lately I'm too tired to push it. I have a feeling he'll do better if he's not getting milkies at every wakeup, and I'm really not interested in tandem nursing anyway, unless maybe it's just bedtime.

Hmmm, I'm not sure but I thought they weren't meant to cause pain?

Hope you see some changes in cm soon!
