TTC baby number #1

[Kalia101]

Yes man up tess lol or yeah tell him to hurry up haha I'm just waiting for AF I feel like crap today like I have a cold coming and I'm soooo tired can't wait to get into bed I want it over & done with now iv told oh next cycle we've got to try hard as we haven't really this month next cycle we will make sure we bd 2-3 times a week with NO excuses lol ugh this baby making is hard work and so draining at times

Xxx

 

[Kalia101]

Iv just figured out my Lt phase is 19 days if I ovulated when I should of & I come on when I should Is this bad? Xx

 

[Tess08]

Thanks ladies haha. I just manned up and done it lol! I have a really good feeling about this cycle as we have BD'd every other day. I'm actually glad I'm O'ing now so I can stop having so much sex haha! That sounds terrible eh? But your right Kalia it can be soooo exhausting!

I think ur LP is fine Kalia. Means if you manage to fertilise the egg then there's plenty of time for it to stick it's only if you LP is shorter than 10 days that its defective because then fertilisation will pretty much always end in chemical preg. That's why I was so worried about the LP I had that was 8 days but luckily it was a one off! X

Hello everyone. Me and my fiance are TTC our first child. Right now I'm a little lost. My last period was on the 9th last month and it lasted for 7 days. I have a 31 day cycle. My ovulation date was the 24th of august. Me and my fiance did the deed on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. I was on 14dpo until I noticed some kind of bleeding. I wore a pad just in case I would have started. I went to look and there was some brownish pinkish stuff on the pad. I wiped and noticed dark redish almost like a dark pink look to it. I kept wiping and it got lighter an lighter. So far it's been pretty light with the flow. The blood doesn't look like fresh blood at all. I did have some cramping but nothing severe and I'm feeling nausas as well. When I first noticed the bleeding, I checked my cervix. Turns out it is high and soft but I can not tell if it's open or not. There is no smell to it or anything. I'm so lost and I'm ragging my brain trying to figure this out. I may not have physically felt the cervix until last month, but I can tell something isn't right. Shouldn't the cervix be low, firm, and a little open during menstruation? Did I miss my window? Is this period bleeding? I'm usually heavy when it comes to my periods along with some clotting. So far the blood has looked dark almost like a brownish color and a little pinkish. Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi have you done a pregnancy test although your bleeding sometimes even when pregnant at beginning when your AF is due you will bleed old blood so maybe this is you'd BFP x

 

[Marqelle93]

Sorry you are feeling so sick Kalie. and congrats on the positive OPK livie.

I have been keeping busy and it's really helped me relax. I believe I am 6 dpo today

I was planning on taking one Wednesday but I don't think it's pregnancy. I pushing out small clots which is what usually happens when I'm on my period. Yet is it possible to have a high soft cervix and have your period? I checked yesterday twice to see if there was any changes using the same position and It was high both times. I would check today but I think I would rather do it in the shower. That's how bad the bleeding has gotten. Idk if it's my weight that is affecting my fertility or its just plain stress. Me and my fiance are moving next month and right now we have been living at his moms. So I think I need to be healthy first because according to what I researched being underweight can cause a hard time in becoming pregnant. Last I remembered when I weighted myself, First I was 95 pounds. Now it's been a month or so and I have gained 5 pounds. I'm trying to reach to a healthy weight but me and my fiance are going to keep trying. I hate that I have been trying to 9 months now and still have not been able to become pregnant...

 

[Kalia101]

Hi marquelle I'm glad your able to relax a little my AF has come this morning n I feel rough today's going to be a tough one at work but atleast AF came on the correct day to my app and a new cycle I'm going to try sooooo hard this month me and oh have said it will be tough with the hours we both work but we will make sure we are BDing every other day or atleast 3 times a week this month and il do my OPKs aswell this month iv had a 37 day cycle wish they weren't so long but atleast there not like last month over 60 days! I wonder how sookie & snuffle are? Xxx

 

[Marqelle93]

Well good luck to you. I know how hard it can be with conflicting schedules and sometimes just being too tired or not in the mood. Sorry that AF came but fingers crossed you get it this cycle!

 

[Tess08]

Hi midnight, welcome to our thread.

In response to your question I'm sorry but I really don't know. I would say since the bleeding started on 14DPO, then although it seems an unusual colour for y etc, it sounds like its most likely AF. But I'm certainly no expert so as Kalia said I would take a test just to be on the safe side!

Oh Kalia that doesn't sound so good. Hope the day doesn't drag in for u too much! And sorry to hear your AF showed up but at least now you can get into this cycle using your OPKs etc again. Do you think you are going to try temping? I've done it this cycle but to be honest I don't think it's added anything yet. I'm prob not doing it right lol. I know it seems like Sookie and snuffle have abandoned us haha. Sookie could be preggers for all we know! I hope everything is going well for them both.

And Marqelle how are you? Are you pretty convinced now that your first O was probably not correct? I'm sure your AF would have showed up by now so hopefully you are now defo in the TWW! And I'm joining you in it today

I have a question but you and it probably sounds stupid but oh well lol. When using OPKs, after they go negative again does that mean O has been and gone? It's just as I said before OH and I have been BDing every other day and to be completely honest I'm exhausted with it haha. I got my pos OPKs on fri, sat and sun and now today it has gone negative again so does that mean O definitely happened at some point over the weekend? I'm asking because tonight is BD night again and as terrible as it sounds, I don't really want to BD if I don't have to lol. I just want to go home from work, get in my onesie and watch rubbish on the tv all night! If there's still a chance O can happen after the LH surge ends then I will defo BD tonight but as I said, if its not going to make any difference then I would rather not x

 

[MidnightCRest]

Thanks Tess. I think I will take a test to be on the safe side. I think it will clear my mind. Right now the cramps haven't gotten any better I checked my cervix again this morning and the cervix is still high so i don't know. If the pregnancy test is positive then why I'm I having clots? If it's negative then why is my cervix so high? Could tampons cause something like that to happen? Yeah I kind of doubt it but you never know, And to your question. I'm not sure. I have never used OPK's so I really couldn't tell you. How I began to look for fertility with mine is my cm. I had BD 2 days before O and on the day of O and little bit after O so it's really confusing.

Tess, when the test goes negative again (if your body is really ovulating), it means that you ovulated, but the egg can still be available for up to 24 hours. Usually it lasts 12.

As for me, I can't be sure of anything lately, so I am just really hoping and praying that last monday was my O day. It's the only thing that makes sense as to why I haven't had a period yet and why all of my symptoms went away as soon as I ovulated. So I am hoping! 7dpo today and still really relaxed.

Today is the 3 year anniversay for my husband and I

[Livia82]

Happy Anniversary Marqelle!!!

I hope you guys are all doing well... I just got back from my HSG. I have to say it really is not a pleasant exam. However, it thankfully didn't take long at all and the Dr. said everything looked great. The dye went right through and my tubes are clear and intact. I also got the results for my blood test and my hormone levels are great according to the fertility specialist. The only thing we are still waiting on is the semen analysis which my DH is going in for tomorrow.

Now I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. The fertility doc said that everything looks great from my side and that there is no need to rush into any fertility treatments since I still have a high reserve of eggs. I am very relieved and happy about all that BUT to be completely honest I was kind of prepared to start Clomid and possibly IUI next cycle. The doc said I could wait a few more months and see if it happens on it's own before doing anything else but the thought of spending another 6 months of temping, opk's, and hpt's is awful. I know I am being very impatient here but I'm just soo tired of getting BFNs. What do you guys think?

Thank you, that would be amazing.

 

[Tess08]

I know exactly what you mean Livia! I haven't had any in depth tests done, only blood work to check my hormones and everything came back absolutely fine which made me happy but at the same time I was kind of hoping that there was going to be some small problem that could easily be fixed and then I would be pregnant the next day haha. But that is really good everything is fine and hopefully everything is fine with your OH too. Maybe just hearing that all is well will be enough to make you relax a bit and then baby will be right around the corner x

 

[Tess08]

Argh my body drives me insane sometimes!! All day today I've been getting really sore boobs and little cramps low down (like ovulation cramps) but I'm 2 DPO!! I'm glad I've been temping this cycle because if I only had my pos OPKs fri, sat n sun to go by then I would probably be questioning whether or not I actually ovulated but my temp jumped up on Monday (just as I expected it to) and then jumped even higher today so I have no doubt that I ovulated on Sunday. It's so annoying. These are the reasons I don't symptom spot because I just think that our bodies try to trick us all the time like my body trying to trick me into thinking I'm ovulating again.

Anyway sorry about that lol. How is everyone today? X

 

[Marqelle93]

I normally get cramping from 1DPO til AF and it never lets up. Its horrible.

Today I have a really sore lower abdomen that goes from one hip all the way to the other. TMI ALERT, but it could be from having too much sex over the past couple days.

How are you getting on now Marqelle? Are you close to testing time? I'm not feeling very positive anymore because my body keeps throwing little pregnancy symptoms at me but I feel like every cycle I get symptoms and it always ends in AF!! I bet that the month I actually get preg is going to be the month that I feel no symptoms at all x
