TTC Lucky Conkers!-Our first Conker has been born!!

[Mrs W 11]

Who's Ron?! That was meant to say born!

 

[Jokerette]

OOoooOOO you are definitely in your TWW, and it really does look like you timed it well! Looking good!! Are you planning on paying attention to everything that goes on in the TWW (symptom spotting, as they say), or are you planning on staying out of forums now and not really thinking about it? I know myself, and to say that it won't be 100% on my mind would be lying right out! hahah

Good luck, either way. Your timing and cycle are looking very promising!!

I dont know, haha, I always tend to symptom spot! I don't really stress about it though. I did decide I'm not checking CP during the TWW anymore since I never got any useful or correct info anyway doing that during TWW and i dont want to risk any bacteria getting in there! I tend to be a POAS addict so i'll probably start testing arounf 9/10dpo

and I'll definitely be kicking around the forums

hahaha Ron might be lurking in this very thread! Our last baby was conceived in early June, and born in February, so I didn't have to go through the heat while pregnant. It will be interesting this time around if we manage to dtd properly.

Do you go all out and purchase the expensive clear blue or first response for your POAS addiction, or do you get the $0.80 ones from the cheap stores?!?!

Hi ladies! I am 14DPO and I have been spotting since Saturday, I think it is because AF is about to arrive. I really think I am out this month. I guess in a 2-4 days I will know for sure. It would be great if I can get pregnant around thanksgiving or Christmas! FX for you ladies!!! It took me a while to find this forum since I did not subscribe to it. Will chat later ladies!!!

Good morning, all!! Welcome, Jokerette!!!!

Anyone have some interested news? I know that some of you are TWWers. Finally positive that it was left over spotting. The DH and I BD last night, basically timed it so he will have a good healthy clean batch of swimmers for when we are trying. I always tell my patients to BD about 7-5 days before their typical O in order to allow for that old grandpa sperm to move out of the way for strong young-adult swimmers hahah

Cm is higher quantity, but we are not there yet on EWCM. I usually am very easily able to tell when I have EWCM. I think we have a few more days before we are truly BD for a purpose. I am a late O.

I am currently: CD 8, happy, settling down to really accepting that we get to be here TTC!

Where is everyone at in their cycle? How are you feeling?

Glad you feel like you know what that spotting was, tiger! I agree it was lingering AF most likely, I get that sometimes.

I am on CD 12... temps still low, started using OPKs yesterday, getting very faint lines. I tend to get faint lines that get real strong and then go away, so I sort of know when my true surge is once they go faint again. Thinking I will O today or tomorrow. Forgot to bring more OPKs to work so I will test again tonight when I get home. We BD-ed the last two nights, so I hope I can keep him up for it the next few nights! He hates the pressure so I don't tell him when I am in my fertile days but he can totally tell when I want it all the time all of a sudden! haha

 

[Twinklie12]

Twinkle I'm cd 10 so almost the same stage! We can keep each other sane during the tww!

Sorry to hear about your mc last cycle, keep
Positive you know you can get pregnant now so fingers crossed for this cycle! X

Hi Mrs. W! Thanks so much. It is nice to have a cycle buddy! I am waiting on O still, should be a few days. Getting very faint OPKs today. You?

I'm still waiting to ov too. Haven't started peeing on opks yet but will tonight. I never got a pos opk last time I was ttc though so we will see. I looked back at my cycle I got pregnant and it looks like I oved on cd 20 then so ill keep bding to make sure I give myself the best chance.

Am currently sick with a sick child so not much fun in our house!!!

Sorry you and your child are sick! Bad combo for BD I can imagine. FX everyone feels better soon.

Oops I totally spelled their youtube page wrong, but:

dailyBUMPS is a young married couple that video logged their ups and downs. The wife has her own channel (bumpsalongtheway) that she posted to throughout her pregnancy. She did an update each week talking about the size of the baby, what's going on in her body, how she felt, etc. She has a bicornuate uterus, so she miscarried one child at 11 weeks (I believe) and had a stillbirth at 20 weeks. I started watching her through her 3rd pregnancy, and they are now proud parents to a beautify baby boy. Her story is just so amazing, and her continuous journey is so wonderful to join in. Their dailybumps channel posts a video everyday, and it is just the casual goings on of a young couple struggling to start a family after two losses.

Shaytards are a large family, and they are just cute. They also post a new video every single day!!

Haha sorry about the Heinz 57 expression. I should have clarified that I am just a dash of a little bit of everything from Europe, but a little Native American.

My husband is 100% Taiwanese. Our son is gorgeous. Smooth tan skin, almond eyes, and beautiful lips from his daddy, and he has my long eyelashes, light brown eyes, auburn hair, and my Polish butt (haha let's just say... very perky haha).

I think I might have to start a journal!!! Might be a fun way to pass time

 

[Princesskell]

I went the other way when I was pregnant mrs w, went off chocolate but loved cheese and sausage rolls!!

Those you tube videos sound fun tigermom...new hobby for me!!
