Cutler! get bding lol.

Mah - idk when to test really. I kinda have it in my head that because this is my first cycle off bcp that the chances are against me. But yes the symptoms do seem similar. When i was pregnant with my little boy, i remember telling my mum that i felt really motion sick (i get car sick alot unless im driving) but i was sitting perfectly still, or it would be when i'm walking etc. I think i was getting dizzy spells too. So my mum told me to test. We were ntnp at that time but more not trying so it hadnt even occured to me that i could of been pregnant. But a trip to dollar store and a couple tests later (all positive) it was confirmed that i was pregnant. I actually found out on 4th of July lol.

That's why i'm trying so hard NOT to get my hopes up because i so so so don't want to be really disappointed this early on in ttc. I know the same symptoms can be because of coming off the pill and i even read somewhere that it could be down to taking pregnacare contraception vitamins... which i really hope it isn't because taking them has really made a difference to my health. I feel a lot better in myself other then the symptoms that i've mentioned.

yeah, I know what you mean. I dont like being disappointed either. But then I have no patience..and my lack of patience overpowers my desire not to be disappointed lol. Just test like 19 dpo--that way if youre preg, youll def get a positive. i actually heard the chances of multiples is higher in women coming right off bcp

I started the progesterone yesterday and last time, the side effects took a few days, but this time it hit me right on the first day. I knocked out from 4-5 pm, despite sleeping a good 7 hours last night. Im glad I o so late that I didnt need to start the progesterone until now, when I am in the last few days of exam period, otherwise I would have slept through my exams and study time

so...now that cutler is ALMOST in her tww, I guess we need to find something to occupy ourselves for the long haul ahead haha.

what do you ladies do? do you have preferences for boy/girl? I really want a girl I think during my nap I dreamt about having a girl..it was a weird dream though and I dont even remember it but faintly remember a baby girl being involved lol. I have names picked out for either or though Hiba [pronounces "Hibba" not "heeba"], it means gift in arabic. And Mustafa [but pronounced properly not the lion king way haha]for a boy. Lion king way= "moo-sta-faa" proper way is "muss-tafa"--the lion king emphasized the wrong syllables haha

also, I noticed a heavy UK presence on this board? is this a brittish forum?

 

[Cutler101]

so i took a regular ovulation test strip and it was negative but my clearblue ovulation test gave me a smiley face but the smiley face that this is my peak most fertile day . .... now im so confused !

 

[Frodi]

Cutler 101 I'm sure it will all work itself out, Over thinking it may be whats confusing you, but this whole process is confusing in itself and I am extremely overwhelmed with it. But baby dancing sure is fun!! lmao

but now I have to eat my own words, bc I have been noticing a lot of clear "watery" like discharge or cm? the today which isn't super normal for me and I don't know what to think of it. I have no patience either mah0113l! lol

I'm not from the UK I'm in one of their baby countries, Canada! I'm undecided which I would like as I would love both sexes and we have names picked out also.. Emelia For the girl (pronounced Amelia) and Antony for the boy.

 

[Cutler101]

yeah im just gonna listen to my clearblue digi instead .

Frodi : i like the girl name me and hubby picked names out too loll . Swayze for a girl & Zayden for a boy . && yes Swayze comes from Patrick Swayzes name . loll .

 

[Frodi]

Awe, those are cute names! I love the boys name!
I gave the hubby full control over the boys name but I approve! lol I just want to be preggers so that I can anxiously await what's to come out!!!!
I can't remember that last time I wanted anything and since I got the thumbs up to start it's been on the brain!!!

 

[Cutler101]

My hubby name is Ryan & he wants to name the boy after him if we have one nooo loll one of my twins middle name is Ryan because her dads middle name is Ryan & the other twin has my middle name . Idk just seems like alot of Ryan's loll plus i dont like common names

We hope when i get pregnant it's a boy i doubt it but hubby thinks its gonna be a boy cause of his genes . I told him i don't wanna know the baby gender cause im very sure it'll be a girl loll .

 

[Frodi]

Oh man, Hubby and I are having the same talk. He wants to know as soon as he can find out and I keep thinking that I want to wait until they are born before I know. But then again that patience thing comes into play and AHHH lol!

We seem to be pretty close in out O dates. According to my app I have on my phone I'm due to O on the 18 which is next Monday. But I'm now 8 day past AF.

 

[mah0113]

Yeah! I'm so torn too---gender reveal parties are so cute! But being surprised the day the baby is born is so much cooler I think I would want to know just so I can start knitting cute pink or blue things and do the nursery. If we get bfp this month they will be winter babies and it will be so fun making them knit booties, blankies, hats!!! Ahh. Way too excited

 

[Cutler101]

I think i ovulated yesterday . i had the ovary pains and got a smiley yesterday too that stand for my most fertile day . i also have a old pink clearblue digi one and when i woke up this morning i tested with it and got an empty circle so i think i O'd yesterday or early this morning .

&& that smiley on the purple on is suppose to be there for two days so i think it clears tomorrow so imma test again tomorrow to be sure .

[Cutler101]

I told hubby to tell me at the baby shower to do it in a cute way or ill just wait till the baby is born . im soooo set on NOT knowing the gender because i think its gonna be another girl and i wanna be let down easy when the baby is born because boy or girl once the baby is here you dont care what gender the baby is because your little angel is finally here .

[mah0113]

I fell asleep at 1 and had the most bizarre dream ever. I have this recurring dream that my teeth are falling out..so its that,but I am freaking out and crying and my fam takes me to the hospital..when we go there the dr says they cant take me in bc theres no electircity or limited electricity ro something..but thn my mom begs him and I say i might be preg and so he agrees to check me out himself...so apparently they fed me jumbo shrimp while I am waiting, and when i go back into the drs office to get my teeth checked out, i se in the mirror that since most of my teeth are missing, the shrimp didnt get chewed the right way and they are stuck everywhere in my mouth..like almost solid! and i am like omh i could have choked on these! so i start cleaning my mouth out and theres SO MANY and it just keeps going! and then i start noticing wax paper wrapper that apparentlt the shrimp was wrapped in is also in there...so i stat pulling that out. and its the same thing..its never ending crumpled up balls, some of them are going into my throat and im pulling them out and thinking my breathingis being blocked by them and I might die. it was SO WEIRD!!

oh and at some point i throw up and think "omg i really am pregnant!" HAHHAHAHHA..clearly that obsession does not go away, even in the midst of the weirdest dream ever. haha

 

[brandonsgirl]

Wow, i haven't been on here all day and we've got the most random arse dreams going on lol. Mah, that must have really freaked you out whilst you were having the dream but i LOL so much reading through it lol. Vivid dreams are meant to be part of pregnancy signs though so FX

Cutler, i would go with your clear blue as well. If it was me, i would presume that it would be more accurate so would base it off of that.

Frodi, you probably already read this, but here is what FF sent me in an email for cm types.
Sticky: Record your cervical fluid as "sticky" if it is glue-like, gummy, stiff or crumbly and if it breaks easily and quickly and if it is not easily stretched. It will probably be yellowish or white, but could also be cloudy/clear. You may or may not see some sticky cervical fluid before and after ovulation.

Creamy: Record your cervical fluid as "creamy" if it is like hand lotion, white or yellow or cloudy/clear, like milk or cream, mayonnaise or like a flour/water solution. It may stretch slightly but not very much and break easily.

Watery: Enter "watery" if your cervical fluid is clear and most resembles water. It may be stretchy also. This cervical fluid is considered fertile and this may be your most fertile cervical fluid or you may get it before you get egg white cervical fluid or you may not get this type of fluid at all.

Egg white: This is your most fertile cervical fluid. Record "egg white" if your cervical fluid looks at all like raw egg white, is stretchy and clear, or clear tinged with white, or even clear tinged with pink. It also resembles semen (and has a lot of the same physical properties to allow the sperm to travel and be nourished). You should be able to stretch it between your thumb and index finger.

Idk if that will help you, but thought i would post it for you anyways.

Oh and about finding out the sex etc, i think i would want to know. That way we can tell LO if he would be getting a brother or a sister. But i would want to reveal it to the family in a cool way. I'm not sure how yet, but ive always liked the cake idea. Where the inside of the cake is either blue or pink and then the icing hides it so when you cut into it you know. OH and I also have a few names picked out but none for definite. With our LO it was pretty easy, his first name is OH middle name and then his middle name is OH grandpa's name. Is anyone else going to include a name from the family as part of LO's name. Apart from the last name of course lol

 

[mah0113]

My dh's father was murdered when he was young so we are going to use his father's name as a middle name if we have a boy

very weird dream !

i fell asleep at 1 and had the most bizarre dream ever. I have this recurring dream that my teeth are falling out..so its that,but i am freaking out and crying and my fam takes me to the hospital..when we go there the dr says they cant take me in bc theres no electircity or limited electricity ro something..but thn my mom begs him and i say i might be preg and so he agrees to check me out himself...so apparently they fed me jumbo shrimp while i am waiting, and when i go back into the drs office to get my teeth checked out, i se in the mirror that since most of my teeth are missing, the shrimp didnt get chewed the right way and they are stuck everywhere in my mouth..like almost solid! And i am like omh i could have choked on these! So i start cleaning my mouth out and theres so many and it just keeps going! And then i start noticing wax paper wrapper that apparentlt the shrimp was wrapped in is also in there...so i stat pulling that out. And its the same thing..its never ending crumpled up balls, some of them are going into my throat and im pulling them out and thinking my breathingis being blocked by them and i might die. It was so weird!!

Oh and at some point i throw up and think "omg i really am pregnant!" hahhahahha..clearly that obsession does not go away, even in the midst of the weirdest dream ever. Haha

Mah that is one weird dream!! Lol I can't get over all the shrimp and wax paper in your mouth! So strange.

Brandonsgirl, I think I've read that already somewhere. Lol my ovulation date is not for another 6 days according to my app, lol just getting used to these cycles. If this one would end!! I'm on day 37.

Also this may be totally outta the loop but do you start gaining weight?? Bc I've gained like 5ish lbs in a week and I've been gyming and my diet hasn't really changed at all.

it may be water retention. I gain about 5 lbs before my period..at first I would literally be in tears bc Id randomly wake up really heavy. But then I realized it was always rt before I got my period. So now when I suddenly gain weight I know whats going on. Something similar may happen with ovulation

That would be a weird symptom for me, I have never had bloating or weight gain before and I don't have any other symptoms that it's period time.

I don't know if I'm just seeing things but it looks like my little "pouch" on top of my pelvic bone looks swollen. Or larger then I have seen it before. humpf??
