Ttc number 3 :)

[monkers1984]

Hello everyone ... sorry I've been MIA ... little one has got a stomach bug and hasn't stopped throwing up in the last 24 hours -- so in between continuous bathing, catching sick, washing, scrubbing, I've been struggling to keep up!!

Spunky - sorry you are having a weird cycle ... I can't see anything on the hpts I would give your midwife a call and get a medical opinion.

Gypsy - sorry things are a bit all over the place for you ... hopefully your talk this morning helped and fingers crossed for a bfp soon.

Hannah - hope your cycles get sorted soon

Kelly - I hope your next cycle isn't as frustrating and as long as this one!!

Bailey - really hope you get that bfp over the next few days.. your symptoms sound promising!!

Oculi -- yay for the progressing bfp and congrats on the digi 1-2 weeks

Jlh - good luck xx

Katy - hope you get your positive OPK and plenty of BD

AFM - so I eventually got my positive OPK on Wednesday .. and I'm pretty sure I O'd late wed .. early hours Thursday - we BD ... day of positive OPK, O- 3, O-4 and O-6 .. so fingers crossed we have a good chance!! I was hoping to BD O+1 aswell but with little one being poorly it didn't happen but I feel positive that it could happen. I know that i ovulated not long after the positive OPK as the next day my cm changed to lotiony so currently 2dpo ... and into the dreaded 2WW. I will pop on a pic of my positive OPK .. just for the poasholics to have some porn!

Sorry it's brief .. and sorry if I've missed anyone! Things are pretty hectic but hopefully we will go back to some kind of normality tomorrow and little one will be feeling much better goodnight xx

 

[monkers1984]

Positive OPK !

 

[Gypsy99]

Good luck Monkers!!! Watching and waiting

 

[Gypsy99]

I really do think I'm out now. Unfortunately I am getting definite AF cramps tonight and I think my cervix has changed position to the normal position just before AF. I will probably move into the preseed notion from this next cycle. Will let you know in the morning if she is still not here.

 

[spunky84]

I'll be back later to respond as I'm about to head out the door to take DD to gymnastics, but just wanted to post real quick.

Bleeding (spotting???) Stopped last night. Nothing on liner this morning. Tiny amount of brown on tp and when checking cp.

CP still barely reachable but more closed and starting to firm up.

Debating on if i should still call my midwife Monday or if there's no point since the bleeding stopped.

Not sure if i should consider that a period or not, so no idea if I'm still in my old cycle or the new (spotted Wednesday; seemed like light flow Thursday; debatable on light or medium Friday with only 3 tiny clots but went back to spotting by evening, and barely there today and totally brown). It wasn't like a typical period for me.

So no idea what to do on my chart. I attached 3 - previous and current cycle if counted as a period and one of i counted it as spotting and continuing cycle.

This morning's temp may be a bit off as i only had a couple hours of sleep before, but figured it was better to keep it at the same time instead of getting in the extra hour minimum.

So still not really sure what's going on. Opk and hpt this morning both negative.

 

[baileybubs]

Spunky it's all sounding very confusing for you Hun. Maybe speak to your doctor and see if they can run any tests?

Monkers yay! Woohoo hope you caught that eggy!

Gypsy what dpo are you again? When is AF due? I'm getting really bad cramps today and I'm 11dpo, due on in 3-4 days. I'm hoping it's a good sign.

Hannah sorry AF showed, that was a short cycle wasn't it? Hopefully now it's out of the way you'll have a good cycle this time

Katy keep us posted on the opks Hun, I'm not sure what effect the femera would have either

Kelly any signs of AF yet or done any tests?

AFM serious cramping today, if I hadn't been ttc I'd be thinking AF was about to arrive but I'm only 11dpo. I've got slightly sore bbs too and irritable but dh says I'm always irritable hehe. BFN again on an ic. Did an opk this afternoon out of curiosity and there was a line, I never have lines unless I'm about to O so that's odd, and I have no more ics left to see again! I have my Frers but don't want to waste them, don't know if I should use one tomorrow or hang fire to Monday. AF should be due Tuesday.

 

[spunky84]

Bleeding started again. Regardless I'm going to call Monday morning. Either way this pretty much means we're out for the next couple of years. At most we were going to try through November which was already kind of pushing it. So now with whatever is going on i really don't see that being possible add is either a hormone imbalance or something else going on. I can't imagine that either will make ttc by the end of November possible. I really feel is from paragard. Even though is non hormonal, once i got it in, that's when i started having cycle issues.

I've been trying to be OK with everything. I think if we had all the time in the world to ttc, i would still be disappointed, but knowing we had a very limited amount of time and that ttc in the future isn't a guarantee at all. I'm pretty sure DH will have changed his mind by then. This was one very rare time in which DH he wanted to try. I shouldn't be having this hard of a time about this, but i am.

I'm going to keep following you ladies as i really want to see how things go for you all. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.

 

[baileybubs]

Aw I'm sorry spunky, I really hope things become a bit clearer for you with what's going on and you never know maybe you will be lucky in November x

 

[Gypsy99]

Spunky im so so sorry . I hope you can convince one more month of trying at least.

Bailey Im due today and was so bloated and sore all night. Same temp though....... im also feeling like im really hung over this morning, exhausted, and slightly nauseous. Very dry down there too.
So 5 days of cramping now. Must be patient like I said and wait a few more days. Im still convinced AF should be here.

 

[baileybubs]

Sounds very similar to me gypsy, also very dry down there and been cramps for about 2-3 days now. Let's hope we both get our bfps soon. Are you gonna test tomorrow or wait to see if AF arrives?

 

[monkers1984]

Awww spunky I'm so sorry is there a reason why you had such a limited time to try?! (Sorry if you've already said and I've missed it)

Gypsy and Bailey on the day I got my bfp with my little boy 13dpo (I didn't test before) I was really crampy just like AF was coming I only did a test prove to myself I was out and AF would arrive ... but up popped at bfp ... I was that shocked (even though I knew it was a possibility) that I did the test in supermarket loos and had to fill up my car as I was leaving that I ended up putting petrol in my car instead of diesel 😫!! So fingers crossed it's a good sign for you both!!

AFM - I'm tired that is all

 

[baileybubs]

Tbh monkers I knew I was pg with ds because I had AF typecramps 2 days before it was due too so let's hope!!! Think I've just deflated my hopes by testing too blooming early!

 

[monkers1984]

It's so hard not to test early though!! How long have you been ttc no. 3 Bailey? xxx

 

[Oculi83]

Monkers, yay! Good luck!!

Gypsy, fingers crossed! Are you going to test if AF doesn't show tomorrow morning?

Spunky, your cycle is confusing indeed! But hang in there! Maybe you could get a blood test done to see where you're at in your cycle. I'm not too sure why you have such a limited amount of time TTC but if November is still an option then go for it! You never know.

Bailey, sounds promising!!! Can't wait for you all to test!!!

Sending a shipload of to you all!!!

AFM, not much going on. Waiting for Nov 10! Oh and I'm starting to get headaches again. Don't know why but I always get lots of headaches in my first trimester.
Don't know what was going on yesterday! Had such a bad day!! I hit the same toe(!) 3 times on 3 different things within 2 hours! And then when I went to do laundry I thought how come the kids are suddenly so quiet? So I went to check on them and found them in the office, sitting on the floor underneath the desk. Apparently they thought it would be fun to smear Vaseline on each other's clothes, hair, the walls, the desk, and floor! Took me hours to clean everything up!!

 

[Gypsy99]

Thanks Monkers. I need to stop Cervix checking (it's gone up slightly and soft) it's freaking me out. I've got back backache and cramps again today, but still no AF. I keep thinking the lap might have stuffed me up though. Feel quite yuck in the tummy as well.

No I'll wait until next weekend to test. I'm crazy I know, but I can't deal with a BFN right now, so would rather AF just not turn up and wait for a while. Both times with my other two I didn't get BFP's until around 15DPO, and remember the doctors preg test didn't even show up for me first but when I grabbed a FRER it came up straight away.

Good luck Bailey.

My breasts are starting to get sensitive too. Last couple of cycles I have had a lot of these symptoms though and I just don't want to have a massive disappointment again .

 

[baileybubs]

Monkers it's only my first cycle so honestly I'll be amazed and very lucky if we are pregnant so quickly! I'll be quite ok if it's not the month I just want to know now (and I shouldn't have tested so soon!!)

Oculi sorry you are getting headaches, and for the Vaseline incident! My kids love doing stuff like that too!

Gypsy you are patient I wish I had been. I'm feeling really deflated now, another BFN this morning at 12dpo but with a Frer this time so I'm pretty sure I'm out. I know it's not over til AF arrives and logically I know it's entirely possible I could get a BFP tomorrow or Tuesday/Wednesday if Af doesn't show but when there's not even a hint of a line at 12dpo on a Frer I just don't think it will happen. But that's ok I can plan my wine and cheese evening now and look forward to mulled wine at Christmas (we are taking November off for practical reasons) and now I know that once we do get pregnant dd will have started school which will make the first few weeks after birth easier.

 

[baileybubs]

Argh I'm driving myself crazy! Is it possible that our minds can make us have pg symptoms when we aren't because we want it so much!!
I thought I wasn't having any symptoms at all this morning but now I've got the cramping and pains back as well as feeling slightly nauseated and I never feel that!! My other three pregnancies I didn't even have a hint of MS so why would I be feeling sick?? It's not a feeling like I'm going to actually vomit, just an odd icky feeling! Sigh roll on Tuesday to see if AF shows.

 

[monkers1984]

Bailey are sure it was completely BFN?? Have you got a pic? Your symptoms sound promising!!

Gypsy - your symptoms are also sounding fab for your bfp!! Really hoping this is it for you and AF stays away! You are definitely hardcore though waiting till next week to test but I do understand as seeing a BFN is the worst

Oculi - haha that made me laugh about your kids and the Vaseline I'll never forget when my daughter plastered herself and the everything around her with sudocrem that took hours to get everything clean so I feel for you xx

 

[baileybubs]

Not sure if it's uploaded properly. I keep getting line eye but pretty sure its BFN

 

[monkers1984]

Something is catching my eye but I'm not sure if I'm just seeing the indent line xx
