ok CD 16/17 and my nipples feel senative and i had odd pains like ovulation or period, do oyu think i might be ovulating?

 

[MyTurnYet]

Grrr, stupid internet keeps going out...hope this post makes it! Will be a quick check in for me, too, as don't have much time to read through everything.


First of all, Celtic, for you, girl. Let us know how you make out with your thyroid test. I'm sort of hypothyroid...right on the edge of it, anyway, so take armour thyroid every day. Have you ever read about trying anti-candida diets? There are supplements you can take to help w/ that, too...caprylic acid and p'au darco come to mind. I'm totally going to check out those True Blood books over the summer.

My name stands for Serenity, St. Julia (thats what my MIL said!).


I did use softcups for the past three cycles. I really do like them. They look intimidating but they are super easy and very comfy. I just liked the peace of mind knowing that at least half of DH sperm is sitting up there at my cervix and eventually most will go in (picture: sperm trampoline)...

How are you feeling Julie/Julia? Is your name Julie or Julia? Confused. Loved your post about St. Julia standing for serenity. Yet another reason why I want to name my daughter Julia! (or Juliana...or maybe Juliet!). Now, DH and I just need to make a daughter to name.

Cracking up about the trampoline visual!

Julia yay for good blood test results! So happy for you.

Soph I'm sure its too early for you to test - especially if you are 8dpo.

Been reading up quite a lot. My gynae recommended DHEA and I read about Tripulus (maybe the worng name, will have to look it up again) which both might help if only my DH will swallow it. We may also see a sex therapist though neither of us is that keen to. I should ovulate today I think so that will mean I have missed this cycle unless by some miracle we get it right (and even then the sperm would be old so probably wouldn't work) Still feeling very down about this.

Jaimie hope you feel better soon - I also hate those nights when that happens.

MyTurnYet hope you had a good evening with your DH and feel less tired soon.

Thanks Tanikit! Sounds like a good plan w/ your DH. I think seeing a sex therapist might be kind of fun. I don't want you to feel down.

G'night Miss Cranky Pants! Glad you loved the James Brown story - hope it doesn't give you nightmares! I'm also glad you remember the bionic woman - I'm really dating myself by saying I was named after her.

Honeybee - I'm so glad you are tipsy and chillax! That is one of my favorite states of consciousness : )

You crack me up, Jaimie! I love it. Hey, I'm getting used to the spelling of your name. It used to take all my concentration to add that extra "i" in. There was something else I wanted to say, but think I deleted part of your quote.

Oh, I know! Praying...recently I've read about and been praying to St. Gerard, the Patron St. of Motherhood. Check out this website: https://www.saintgerard.com/stgerard.html

Goodnight, all!

Do you ladies like my new avatar? Tryfor posted one of a bump...and then she got a bump!! I thought if I post one of a baby, the same thing might happen. Although I'm hoping for a human baby rather than a cartoon baby...felt weird posting a pic of someone else's baby though. I'm really losing it, huh?

If that works for you, lord knows I'll be stealing it next month!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hey Jill - I love your new avatar. I'd almost settle for a cartoon baby at this point. Hey, maybe a cartoon baby would fill it's diapers with bubbles? Or gum drops? Thanks so much for the St. Gerard link - it is funny because I googled his novena and that site didn't come up! You can get a free medallion on that site...

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Oh, and thanks for the extra effort on the name spelling - I don't want to become a Cyclops! hee

[LuckyD]

Hey everyone!

But I'm afraid I'm not any more I'm out for the foreseeable future, I am very lucky to have my 4 so lucky... may be I'm just greedy wanting one more!!! plus I think I will wait on till DH has that job and we have more money in our pocket. my sister not in a bad way, mentioned waiting on till we were more financially secure and you know what she is right. I need to think with my head and not my heart.

I wont vanish though, I want to know how you are all getting on and sure I will need help to keep my mind off my baby fever its so bad! mother nature is cruel

Oh sweets xx everyone else has said it so well, but do what you think is best for yourself and your body and we will be here either way! It's such a hard decision you are making, but remember - it's not forever. And if it feels like the wrong decision, then change your mind again! Nothing is set in stone xx hope you are doing ok

And in the name of TTHF and getting less obsessed, I've decided not to temp this month. I'm really regular so I'm quite certain my window is CD 13 - 16. I may try the softcups though - I think Julia used them the past few cycles. Gonna stick with the EPO and grapefruit for my CM, vitamins and good clean living for DH's spermies, and trying to let go of the longing...just gotta trust that our bodies are made to procreate and that some day we'll get our hearts desires!

Totally hear you here Jaimie...trusting our bodies is such a good idea. Sometimes I really don't trust mine...but stressing about it and hating on it doesn't help I think. I am going to try the softcups too I think....

LuckyD, how are you? You are in the Tww right? Any symptoms for you? Yes, I did realize that I am the first TTHF'r to get a bfp.Thats nice! I am hoping all you girls are going to be following me very very soon. I won't dare step into 1st Tri yet. I am not ready. I want my bestest gals with me!!

Hey love, I am doing ok....I am only 8 or 9dpo but AF is due tomorrow - or Monday/Tuesday as I O'd later this month. No really strong symptoms - BBs are a bit 'burny' at times, but that's it! A few other things that I have had other months so I am not counting those...pretty sure AF will be here in the next few days. Hope you are doing well and still on Cloud 9! Don't feel that you have to go anywhere - you belong in here with us xxx

Ha ha, love it! I am going to do the same if it works for you! xx

Hi everyone else - sorry if I missed you xxx


I am doing well, I had my job interview Friday morning and then they rang me Fri afternoon to say I was the preferred candidate...however, it is a full time position and I was only looking for part time, but had been told by the Manager it was still worth applying for. So they have offered me full-time for three months then down to three days a week. They need someone there a lot at the beginning as it will be setting up a whole new service. Pretty nice of them to compromise - I have to let them know by Monday. Am thinking I will say yes.......

 

[Tanikit]

Morning everyone. My daughter is sitting pulling all her so-called good behaviour chocolates out the box - how many she has eaten who knows and I don't care at all - its my DH who wants to reward like that, I don't think it is wise.

No, I don't want a cartoon baby - they seem to do everything over the top so even if they had bubbles in their diaper they would probably fill a whole room Did make me smile a bit though.

Julia how are you feeling - what symptoms have you got or not got?

Lucky hope AF will stay away for you.

Yesterday at Moms and Tots the kids did the story of Hannah and how she prayed for a baby and eventually gave birth to Samuel and then they made a small baby out of toilet rolls, newspaper and material. What I want to know is why did they all have to wait so long?

I am particularly down today - while my temperature is only slightly up this morning I am pretty sure I did ovulate and even if I didn't after what I said last night in tears, I very much doubt we will even get near the bedroom today (or anywhere else for that matter) I feel like we have thrown away a whole cycle and with no hope of the next one being better. Sometimes I feel like I am being selfish, but actually I am just getting very depressed and don't know what to do about it. Sorry to be such a downer I cried for over an hour last night.

umm is my posts not showing up?

 

[CelticNiamh]

Hi Anna hard to tell, on less your temping or using opk's there is no way of fully knowing im afraid are you getting any fertile mucus!I saw your second post, yep we can see you lol

Grrr, stupid internet keeps going out...hope this post makes it! Will be a quick check in for me, too, as don't have much time to read through everything.

Thanks hun I'm going to research it more, it might explain how I can not seem to lose as much weight as I want. I will google that diet as well. would amour thyroid help me I wonder. I'm kinda hoping the maca Im on does the trick with my hormones and cycles which I know are not bad. you will enjoy them and true blood starts back on the TV soon yay! love the new avatar I might try that when I'm back on track.

Jaimie how are you doing hun,what the plan for this cycle


Tanikit oh hun I feel for you just wondering is it only with sex your DH can not get there, could he possible do it alone and may be use the ol turkey baster hope your ok hun

LuckyD thanks hun, feeling a wee bit better today and your right I can change my mind if I want LOL. my best friend said the same thing to me, I confided in her yesterday (not the friend who was horrible) but Im still not trying for now. so happy to hear about the job, Ild go for it hun you know what they say, its always easier to find a job you want when you have one already. so if it doesn't work out you will find something better. good luck!

how is every one else doing any way, feel like I have missed loads...

Tryfor how are you, were are you I wanna know how you are!


I have stopped temping, might do a bit to get OV date just to check LP but other than that not a hint of BD near or on OV nada.
Doctor gave me a tablet for the thrush then rang me and said not to take it, so I have this lovely cream I have to shove up my vajay great excuse to so nothing last night hehehe !

Anna you might be leading up to o watch out for the ewcm , do you think you would chart at all I think it would help you so much.

i would if i had the right thing to use, but i'm not good at remembering things and i wake up odd hours sometimes i wake up early sometimes i wake up late

Its worth it even with not waking up at iregular times, I know I wake up a lot some nights with Eireann but I still see a patteren I can pinpoint ov as well I know my charts would not be 100% acurate so I take that in to account.
I know you prob seen this but here is https://www.fertilityfriend.com/

or may be this one would suit you better as it send reminders to your email so you wont forget. https://www.medhelp.org/user_trackers/show/192673?go_to=timeline_slider&start_date=2010-04-06
That might bring up my page not sure LOL

Look at it this way Anna you may get that BFP sooner plus have amo your nurse and doctor get help sooner.

i know FF well, i get confused on it though but thanks hun i will think about it, i need to buy me a new thormonitor though as the one i have only gives you 3 numbers and not 4

 

[Tanikit]

I am going to leave this site for a while, while I may pop in and see how you are all doing I need a break - its just been far too much this month.

Good luck to all of you. I hope there will be lots of BFPs soon and that you will all have healthy happy pregnancies. I may not be gone long, then again I don't know. I need to sort things out with DH and me and it will probably mean forgetting about a baby for a while though I say that but know I cannot do it.

BBT thermometers are cheap. And you can always set an alarm to temp by.
But even temping at erratic times can still help you, because temping looks at MORE than just individual temps, it looks at the whole cycle of temps. It looks at the range of temps, not just one or two odd ones here or there.

When I first started charting, my temping was all over the place, but it got me into the habit of taking my temp on waking up, so then once I had it down, doing it naturally every morning, I was able to start using an alarm.





I have read everyone elses posts, but um, I'm stupid and dumb lately and can't remember anything I read. So easily distracted.

I am psyched. I am a person who loves pets and animals, and I used to always keep Siamese Fighting Fish (Bettas). I love them, but for the past 2 years I haven't had one.
I got a cheap glass hexagonal tank yesterday, with built in light and filter and all that, so today I got a new fighting fish! The little stunner was sold to me as female, but is SO pretty, she gave every single male fighter in the store a run for their money, so I got her.... I shall attach a pic.



Cycle wise, I am on Day 24, had a temp drop today, so perhaps ovulation is tomorrow. Though I won't get to see sweety til Monday, I hope maybe I ovulate a wee bit late (MONDAY NIGHT preferably, please please please LOL).



Went to my brothers last night, was going to have a few drinks with him and the crowd. Until my brother threw a FULL can of Bundaberg Rum and Cola at me.... then later, he was saying he wanted to pose for a picture with me, and then when I went near him, he got an empty can and bounced it off my head.... then later he came and BIT me, and he spent about an hour calling me nasty names that he used to call me at school. I got upset and left.

Oh Tanikit honey, I'm so sorry you're going through all this crap...
I hope you and your hubby can get things sorted out and get all the help you need to see things through. We'll miss you around here.
I hope things go well for you, so we can see you back in here soon sweety!
