TTC for Baby #1 - Looking for Buddies

[Lotus Womb]

Hi Ladies

Well I have missed you all been a crazy few days. I am sure I was going to Ovulate on Friday last week but my temps have there own plan. As you know I thought I was out so maybe not. DB knee not 100% better but much better than a week ago. Not really going to count this month but you never know. I am sure the Damn OPK's were positive last Thursday and Friday today my temps are still under the coverline. CM in and out of watery but CP seems to be medium ish. Last month after O I was creamy the next day. My cycles are never later than 32 day but average 29 day so we shall see. I seem to have alot of watery CM.

Getting a little worried that I won't O at all

I have checked my Themometer when I felt hot later in the day and temp was up so that seems to be ok. This body driving me crazy smh. I have given up on the OPKs this cycle. Just gotta on a hit and miss basis as long as it is watery.

How are you all and are you testing

Welll... Did you guys know that sore gums and nose bleeds are an actual sign of early pregnancy? I didn't.. That is until I googled it!! Aggghhh.. I can't eat anything and my gums are all swollen. And I'm hungry as hell.

Just 8 DPO and honestly not sure if I need to go to a dentist or get an HPT done. Either way, I will update all of you in a week when I am closer to 14 DPO. Although, my cycles are fairly long, so it might be in 2 weeks since i generally go through a 3 WW. Anyways, hope you guys are doing well!

xoxo

Bezinga,
My gum bled during my 2WW. This NEVER happens and I knew it could be a sign. I was right as I got my BFP!!!

FXed for you

Ahhh I didn't know that Kat! Congrats to you though and thanks! I have sensitive gums to begin with, but never had them swell up this bad before.. When did you end up testing if you don't mind me asking? I have been waiting to test and I have heard that some people can get a BFP as early as 8-9 DPO. but not sure..

Your thoughts?

 

[babyfeva]

Congrats Kat!!

Mel- I have a good feeling for you!! Test in a few days!

 

[KatM]

Baby,
Thank you for the congrats.

Bezinga,
I tested at 12DPO. I wanted to hold out till 14DPO, but could not. I feel confidant that I would have shown positive on 10DPO because I implanted around 6-6DPO. I kept a detailed list of my symptoms to submit to 2WW, which kept me from going crazy during my wait. Here it is if it helps:


1DPO- Felt irritable, down and gloomy. Intuition told me I was pregnant. My mind told me it was way too early to know. Ate at midnight because I was so hungry even though I had already brushed and flossed. This never happens…But I did eat an early dinner and cookies for a snack, so blood sugar could have been way too low.

2DPO- I had slight nausea and a hot flash during martial arts class, thought I might be coming down with a bug. Felt slightly dizzy earlier in the day from standing up to quick. Also had watery CM. This rarely happens.

3DPO- Felt nothing different all day except I slept in and took two short naps (this happens sometimes). Then at 5, the pizza DH and I love was finished baking. Stood up out of a chair and felt dizzy. Then the pizza I had been craving made me nauseated and seemed very unappealing. I LOVE this pizza and we get it FedExed, so I forced myself to settle down and enjoy it. I did. Breast felt funky, but no pain. I examined both breasts trying to figure out what felt different, couldn’t do it. Lower back hurts.

4-DPO- Had horrible sleep. Like horrible. There was a thunder and lightening storm happening, but beyond this I was restless. When sleeping on my stomach, my breast hurt slightly, but I could not pinpoint tenderness upon examination. My back is a bit crampy or achy. I had to blow my nose a couple of times, unusual. Feel a mild headache and feel slightly ill. Boobs feeling weird and left armpit hurt and then stopped. A bit gassy. Lower back hurts. Tired. Fell asleep twice after waking. White CM.

5-DPO- Slept well. Barely any breast pain, but still a tiny bit tender with some weird tingling sensations here or there. Slight congestion, but hubby has a cold. Lotion CM. Fatigued, but woke up early. Lower back slightly achy, but so does DH because of his cold. No concrete symptoms. High sex drive.

6-DPO- Slept horribly due to DH being ill and moving every 2 seconds. Breasts hurt slightly while sleeping on my stomach. 3 mild cramps on left side. Felt very energized despite having little sleep. Too hot in the morning and had to change even though the house was at the same temp it always is. Felt a bit light-headed. If DH wasn’t so ill, would think this is a good sign. Had white CM when scooped. Breast feel different, but not painful. Low backache. High sex drive.

7-DPO- Slept okay. Felt some light cramps on my left side. Gum bleeding, this NEVER happens. Breast felt a tiny bit achy when I put on my bra. Very hungry. Back aches. Napped, but this is usual. Slight headache. Indigestion.

8-DPO- Slept like crap. Felt anxious. Woke up and wanted to eat at 5am. Almost burst into tears this morning because my BBS don’t hurt. Slight congestion. Felt very hungry. Had to stop in the middle of yoga class to eat. Was famished by 11am. Very slight headache. Continued mild backache, but started a new exercise program. Woke up from a nap feeling a bit ill with slight indigestion. A bit dizzy. Headache, unusual for me, but not in the last week. Just feel sick and hungry. Weepy and indigestion.

9-DPO- Slept for 9.5 hours and still tired. Hurt my BBS a bit to sleep on my stomach. Feel good besides this all morning. Dizzy when I stand up fast. Felt very mildly crampy and was afraid AF showed up, even though I NEVER get PMS. Cried in the bathtub. Feel a bit rundown in the afternoon. Chest hurts mildly. Very slight nausea and hungry as usual.

10-DPO- Slept okay and had very vivid dreams and believed I am pregnant in my dream. Breasts are more sensitive today. Morning nasal congestion. High sex drive. Burst into tears three times. Indigestion. Lotion CM (didn’t check the last few days prior).

11-DPO- Woke up several times during the night 100% sure I am pregnant, but holding off on testing to 14DPO. Boobs were sore when I slept on my stomach, not so much in the morning though. I fell asleep twice at an all day workshop. Minor backache. Itchy down there for a tiny while.

12- DPO-Could not hold out on testing. BFP!!!

Babyfeva, Bezinga: Gosh, I was unsuccessful in trying to find this thread this whole week! I found the other one started by SignoraL, and of course bumped into you Babyfeva.

How are you guys doing. I was just starting to read up on the whole gum soreness, bleed thing. Do you remember how I woke up with severe wisdom tooth pain? Well, I think it was more the gum than the tooth! Then the stupid sinusitis - no nose bleed or anything but really ill for a while. Four weeks later, still have a bit of a small cough!

Anyway, I need updates. I'm waiting anxiously for your BFP's!!!

 

[babyfeva]

Hey Learninglife- How's it going?? I'm just waiting to ovulate... This is my first month where I feel a little lost. My cycles have been anywhere from 25-30 days. This past cycle was only 25 days so I'm just waiting to see how this cycle is going to be.

 

[bezinga]

Kat - Thank you so much for that!! I have had sore gums, hungry as hell, a little tired and sometimes feels a bit stuffy. I have had similar symptoms in the past minus the sore gums. I really wanted some Mango today which I got (Yum Yum!!) but generally I'm not into fruits and stuff. So that's new to me. I'm 8 DPO so not sure what's happening yet. This is our 3 month TTC and I'm already at my wits end, so trying to take it easy. I will test in a few days. Maybe next weekend... I haven't slept well though. Thought it had something to do with us moving into our new place, but who knows.. Also - I had creamy CM today. Not a lot, but enough for me to notice.

J - Girl you and I are in this together!! So I will keep you in the loop every step of the way.

LearningLife - Ohhhh no update here so far! Babyfeva and I are hoping to join all you lucky ladies soon!!!

 

[babyfeva]

I'm so excited for you Mel! I can't wait for you to test already.

 

[LearningLife]

Me too! I'm really excited for your upcoming "test" day...Bezinga. Try to relax as much as possible, which I know isn't as easy done as said. Cravings, hunger, sore boobs, tiredness, feeling ill, increased cm, gum problems (though very frustrating), are all a positive sign. Sorry I just added a few in there, in case you see those sx. Are you in a "house" vs apt. now? Congratulations!!! Take it easy, don't lift anything too heavy.

Btw, I don't think I'm in any danger of being found by anyone I know so just wanted to let you and Babyfeva know that my name is Benita

Babyfeva - I hear you. I was extremely irregular, and that first month (December) of symptom checking/counting and getting really stressed, delayed periods, and then a bfn was really rough. Remind me, you temp and use ov strips, right? Have you noticed the lines when you take the ov. tests?

Wishing you both, my long-time friends, lots of

Hey Benita!

Hi guys, been a while since I posted here.... So I got af last month and now I'm in my tww again!!! Second round of clomid here. I got a positive opk yesterday but had ewcm 4 days ago... That is what confuses me.... I'm not sure when I'm ovulating based on my opk... I can't temp bc my wake scheduling is really all over the place.... I know I o'd last month bc I got a positive opk, but maybe we didn't bd on the right days??? This time tho, we have done it every other day, plus every day since my ewcm..... Any luck to anyone else since I disappeared??

 

[Ycantigetpg]

Hi I'm 18 dpo would this be too early to tell if I was pregnant or not?

 

[hopinwishin]

Hi I'm 18 dpo would this be too early to tell if I was pregnant or not?

18 dpo should mean you are already late.... So it shouldn't be too early, when did you o??

 

[hopinwishin]

Err not when did you o, but are you using opks??
