TTC/Pregnancy while Breastfeeding and Tandem Nursing: Information and Support

[Tacey]

Definitely looks positive to me! Let us know how this morning's test goes!

 

[Celesse]

That looks like an early BFP to me. Hope the line gets darker!

 

[Ourlittlebump]

I was so excited to do a test this morning. I ended up getting the biggest fattest negative i've ever seen! I couldn't even pretend there was even a hint of a second line

I'm gutted...and confused

 

[span]

I know how you feel. I had a definate line, within the time limit, on Thursday afternoon. Got a proper white negative yesterday morning.

 

[Ourlittlebump]

I'm so thankful for all you lovely ladies! It's nice to know i'm not the only one

Sorry for then BFN's OLB and Span

Do you feel crampy or life AF is just about to start at all OLB? If you had a line like that and now it has gone maybe it was a chemical pregnancy? In the same situation though I would probably want to convince myself it was an evap rather than drive myself crazy

I got the yesterday so I have had a textbook cycle which is something to be please about I guess Lots of ovulation and sticky to all of us with crappy BFNs lately xxx

On that exact sam ekind of test I had what I was sure was a BFP the other day too. I even took a pic to show mu friend and she could see it. And since then I have gone nuts testing only to get BFN after BFN.
I keep saying I wont use internet cheapies again, but I test so often that I'd spend a stupid amount on tests if I didnt LOL

 

[Tacey]

So sorry to hear about the BFNs. Lots of to you ladies.

 

[Spunky]

Sorry to hear about the confusing tests ladies! I would be so excited to get a line, then even more devastated for it to be BFN after seeing a line!

 

[motherofboys]

Its so annoying isnt it. And I asked on a page on facebook and everyone was like "a line is a line, you cant get a false positive"

Tonight I have sore boobs, but then again my 2 year old has been man handling them a bit today LOL

I was feeling like my AF was coming any day until about 4 days ago. Strangely the cramps stopped when my LG got sick and started to nurse through out the day and night.
I was hoping that the cramps had been implantation pain but obviously not

My OH keeps asking me to take another test tomorrow just in case but I really don't want to see that lonely line all over again.

Argh, this TTC thing is driving me mad already!!

Question for those who are pregnant:
My LO only nurses about 3 times a day, and my nipples were sore for a few days after my BFP... but nothing now? When can I expect the sore nipples to kick in full time? Makes me a little nervous that it just stopped hurting all of a sudden.
And are any of you COMPLETELY exhausted?? Seems like in the afternoons, I can barely hold my head up (that never happened with my other pregnancies). I notice after I take my prenatals, I get some energy... but doesn't last long.

 

[motherofboys]

I have not breastfed through pregnancy yet but with my last pregnancy I was so incredily tired. I couldnt actually sit down in the afternoons because if I did I would fall asleep before I even realised and be woken to "Mummy, its still morning time you cant sleep now!"

 

[motherofboys]

Oh and its not looking great for me. I have really bad cramps today. Worse than usual but I think being so late thats probably to be expected.

I get sore nipples from time to time, more so in second tri than first. The tiredness is awful. I wish I could say otherwise but I'm completely floored. I'm waiting to find out what my iron levels are. It probaby doesn't help that ds is not even 9 months yet and doesn't sleep through. I nap when he naps whereas before I would do housework.

Hi ladies, TTC cycle 4 for me now.

My last one was a really good cycle with an 11-12 day LP, totally normal for me!

LO is still having at least 3 BFs in every 24 hours, but has decided to sleep in his own room now (his choice not mine!) so no more hourly night nursing! I'm sad in a way, he's growing up so fast.. but happy if he's happy.

Oh and hubbys got a week off around my ov time this month, good timing...
looking forward to that, especially now we have our bedroom back...he he

I don't think there's a set rule for soreness. Mine came and went. I don't think I got much pain until about 8 weeks or so, but even then, it wasn't bad.

I found 1st tri incredibly exhausting. There was a point every day at around 3 when I felt like I'd suddenly put on a suit of armour I felt so weighed down! It improved for me in 2nd tri, and is gradually returning now.

Congratulations by the way!

Thanks so much! My tiredness is exactly the same... but it starts at 1 I told my DH, it must be twins I'm so exhausted! He said it's because I'm still nursing this time. Twins. That's a scary thought, lol.

I got sore nipples for just a couple of days after my BFP, but so far its disappeared and not come back. (Knock on wood!) I have gotten some exhaustion, but I think its more due to the flu than being pregnant. First weeks were tough, though. I think I got more exhausted during my second pregnancy than this one.

 

[Ourlittlebump]

My AF returned today. I've never been so happy to see it I may not have been pregnant but at least now I know my body is going in the right direction.
Things should be a lot easy to keep track of now

Now I need to learn all these TTC terms! Is this CD1?

Congrats austinsmom!
