Tthf

julia i used a softcup once - after the friday morning bd. i lay there for about 15 mins then popped it in, but i think i locked more of the spermies out than in though lol.
i just want it so badly. i know we all do, but you know some days if you think about it too much it actually hurts. that's how i feel today grrr.

awww sorry about your skin - hope there's something you can do to clear it up. btw have you told your daughter your preggo? if so what did she say!? bet she's dead excited.

im going to cook burritos tonight! yesssss. then im going to have a hot bath and then watch the last in the series of 90210. i love it.
 
why do i bother going on facebook!?! a friend of mine that i know started trying around the same time as me just announced she's 3 months preggo. how is that fair. im not even a tiny bit preggo. just did a test, bfn, obviously. gaaah.

right i really am off to cook dinner now.
 
Oh honey :hugs: I'm so sorry chick... Your time is soon! So so soon!
 
Ahh, honeybee - it is awful to try for so long and keep hearing good stories when we are still trying - hang in there - you'll get a BFP and a little one before you know it

Tryfor hang in there with your skin - first trimester is rough and by second trimester you'll be blooming I'm sure.

Squirrel I have awful skin - I think its the tabs I had to start taking for the bipolar as it seems to be all cycle now. Maybe I need to find something good to use. The winter -summer thing is weird. We very seldom get snow and to be honest it was 22C today even though we are supposed to be heading into winter - the nights and mornings though feel very cold.

LuckyD good luck with the new job and enjoy your week of freedom.

Celtic less than 8 is considered normal here (although to be honest most people I measure at 7.6 or thereabouts have been eating sugared foods beforehand) It does sound borderline so you shouldn't need treatment now if you are on the diet. Hope the doctors give you good tips and advice and don't stress you out.

Still dealing with crime - there were some people outside work today (4 guys in a car) who clearly wanted to steal stuff from our work, but we managed to chase them away (they were being so suspicious so clearly not professionals. But I am starting to calm down more now - still jumpy and very careful about some things which stresses me out but I can get on with my life now without too many upsets. We have to go to therapy (DH's work insisted) next week Tuesday to chat about it.

DH and I also started sex therapy recently and it has been very good for us - we are enjoying each other much more and looks like we should have most of it sorted out before next cycle to be able to fall pregnant. Its actually a lot of fun what we have been doing - sometimes sex/BDing gets so boring.

I started spotting a little today so AF is not too far away now (I'm guessing 3 days or so) been remembering the T4, will get a new glucose machine tomorrow and see the endocrinologist nest week Wednesday to check that out and hopefully things will run more smoothly next cycle. "And these things remain - faith, hope and love.... I think those are the 3 key ingredients when ttc - love your partner, hope for a baby and have faith that we will get pregnant one day.
 
Honey I'll be your cheerleader!!! Rah Rah Rah!!!! :happydance:


Are you going to use softcups for this whole cycle now? It's inevitable that you are going to lock some spremies out but when I put the softcups in, I lay on my back (I make sure he does his deed while I am on my back or he is behind (sorry gals for tmi) and then I prop my butt up, lift my legs alittle in the air and kinda scoop and slide in the softcup all the way in, until it can't go in any further. Most girls on the softcup thread only lasted 3 months tops (some are still there or on a break) but most softcup users get their bfp before they hit 4 months of using them. Lucky me, I hit it at the deadline of the statistic. They say most will have their bfp by or in the 3rd cycle!!! I encourage everyone to give them a shot for the next several cycles, with hoping you don't need them for more than one cycle!!!

:wave: Mush did she show?.......

That's Beautiful Tanikit.....why didn't I see that inspirational quote a year ago?....It's really nice! I am sorry to hear that there is soooo much crime in your area! Thats scary and itmakes you wonder why people have nothing better to do with their time then to be criminals. On a plus side, I love love love the fact that sex therapy is awesome for you and DH! Yes!
Tanikit, I have been thinking about you everyday lately and I have a good feeling about you.....:hugs:
 
:flower:Just incase you girls would like to see my charting I do, in the bathroom, while TTC for this cycle I got my surprise. I wrote everything except the days I had a BM (which were more frequent this cycle) Hope it helps!

With my first pregnancy with DD 6 years ago, the ONLY symptom that I had was implantation spotting over a few day period that was very very light.

I got my bfp almost 2 weeks ago now and over the past 9 months of ttc I had alot of the same symptoms that I did every other month. Some were new. Here are my symptoms from the cycle in which I got my bfp:

CD1 - CD5 AF and boobs really sore (which was weird as my boobs stop being sore right when AF starts). CD5, BD in shower (TMI - lol)
CD6 Spotting with Sticky CM
CD7 Spotting with Creamy CM - BD, him on top
CD8-CD9 nothing but a high and hard cervix
CD10 Fertility appointment to discuss my start of treatment for following cycle
Really wet CM in the evening
CD11 Really wet CM stretched up to 1" (trust me, I have awesome CM!) ;) - BD, me on top, used softcup
CD12 Still stretched up to an 1" and still really wet (cerix is still high and hard)
CD13 Really bad loose stools (not digesting food properly!), EWCM that stretched up to 4", cramps in left side ovary, - BD, (I have a not next to it that says: BEST SEX EVER!!!) apparantly it was THAT good! Him on top - used softcup Lmao :rofl: took digi opk today (1st day using them this cycle as I 'normally don't O until CD18) and WHAM "smiley face!" also inserted softcup - cervix was high and soft
CD14 neg opk EWCM in the morning by the evening it was drying up - cervix returned to medium/middle and hard - BD, him on top, used softcup.
CD15 neg opk, my outer 'V' is sore and left boob starts to hurt (yet again) Dry CM
Cd16 neg opk, my outer 'V' is still sore and my left boob is really really sore Dry CM
CD17 stopped taking opk's as I realized I must have O'd early this month and figured I didn't BD enough :shrug:
CD18 Very Thick and Creamy CM (kinda sticky) and left boob still sore
CD19 On our way home to visit family, 3 hour drive,my 5 year old DD very very sick with fever - Dry CM - while I was driving I got some tugging pains for a little while on the right side of my belly button (feltlike a pulling feeling from the inside)
CD20 DD is still sick - both my boobs are very sore to the touch - underwear very creamy CM - cervix was very hard and low
CD21 Going back to our home, creamy glob of CM in underwear and thick creamy underwear, boobs still sore
CD22 DD started to feel better and fever is gone, thick glob of CM and hpt had a very very almost non-existant line(no one else would ever be able to see it and IT didn't develop anyline during the time frams. Seen it hours later.
CD23 Pain behind belly button just like the pain I had on CD19, but this was a little more intense and lasted all morning. Hard and low cervix Sticky CM - hpt had faint line no one can see but me
CD24 UhOh...watery CM like I ALWAYS get before AF!!!....with a soft high cervix! :shock:....oh no!!...hpt, very light line almost invisible....
CD25 2 FRER Positve with faint lines, went in for bloodwork to confirm, beta 27 (low but positive) Plus I started getting positives way before my expected AF! Dry panties but very creamy at cervix, high and soft
CD26 I started breaking out like a teenager (but I do usually a week before AF is due) But this time I was breaking out everywhere!!!! AF-like cramps, boobs still sore hpt stillhave lines very faint - Dry CM
CD27 Dry CM
CD28 Snot like CM (kinda thick but stringy like with a tinge of yellow to it) Peeing a little more
CD29 and on some light cramps on either side of abdomen, some sharp and quick, breaking out loads and loads, very tired, and for some reason I am doing a #2 a little more regularly that what I was before. I just took 2 hpt's at CD35 ad CD36 and the lines cameup dark immediately...I will not have a scan until Iam 12 weeks so I will continue to test every once in awhile until then to ease my nerves!
Phew! This was long to type as I typed it from my 'home' TTC journal, I hope this helps somebody!!! Any questions, please ask away!
 
why do i bother going on facebook!?! a friend of mine that i know started trying around the same time as me just announced she's 3 months preggo. how is that fair. im not even a tiny bit preggo. just did a test, bfn, obviously. gaaah.

I'm sorry you are feeling low today honey, I know what you mean about wanting it so bad that it hurts.

Ahh, honeybee - it is awful to try for so long and keep hearing good stories when we are still trying - hang in there - you'll get a BFP and a little one before you know it

So glad that therapy is working out well for you, must have been such a big step to take to actually get started with it but now that you are there it is good to see that you both are starting to feel the rewards and get back on track to the bedroom!

Honey I'll be your cheerleader!!! Rah Rah Rah!!!! :happydance:

I like those odds Julia! Second month for me so I hope I sit in the middle of those statistics and get my bfp! That is how I put mine in too, slide and scoop it along until it has collected all the stray spermies and lock them into place :)
 
Julia, thank you for posting your 'charting', I enjoyed reading it.
My hayfever is staring to drive me crazy but I WILL NOT take my antihistamines!! I have started to see more cm and I won't risk drying it up again. Last night I had trouble falling asleep because I felt itchy all over and I rubbed my eyes so bad last night that I look a little like a monster this morning!!!

More good news, got my computer back last night and so far so good it is still running! I will see if I can post some pics.

:hi: to everyone!!

Awesome pictures, Soph!!!!

Squirrel, it would be so nice to have clear skin....:cloud9: my shoulders, upper back and mid back,my face (alittle) and my boobs are sprouting little pimples. I breakout occasisonally to begin with but now it's double trouble! I was thinking of starting proactiv or skin Id but I amgoing to ask those questions at my first appt. What cream did you use?

I was using "Rosac", an antibiotic cream, and that worked wonders, but it's Category C (unknown how it would affect a baby) so she took me off of it when I said I was going to TTC. That's been nearly a year ago already that I had that appointment!!! Met with her not long after our wedding "just in case" :dohh: Then I started using Clindamycin, which apparently can also be used on your hooha for BV or something like that!! :shock: Craziness! That didn't work for me at all, then started on Finacea, and again that didn't do anything for me. Now I'm trying Epiduo. Eh, I guess it's a tiny bit better, but still no where near great. Trying to give it a bit of time to work. Thinking I might break down and by a Zeno. It's a little device that applies heat to a pimple to help kill the bacteria.

It seems so unfair that hormones can make us break out like this. No fair at all! Especially when you're pregnant (or trying) you have to be so careful with what you use. I know you're supposed to be careful with salylcic acid due to the fact that it really is just aspirin, but I don't know about proactiv or skin ID. Definitely talk to your doctor. You could try doing an internet search too to see what over the counter things you can try. I'm thinking Witch Hazel may be all right (but not 100% certain).


why do i bother going on facebook!?! a friend of mine that i know started trying around the same time as me just announced she's 3 months preggo. how is that fair. im not even a tiny bit preggo. just did a test, bfn, obviously. gaaah.

Facebook is evil. :hugs:

First of all, Tanikit, still been thinking of you and the horrible experience you had to go through. That's really hard to imagine that you had guys sitting outside your office. It's amazing you all were able to run them off! :hugs:

Glad to hear counseling is going well. You should pass along any tips you learn! That's so nice that you're enjoying each other more. I'm sure we could all use a bit of that -- considering that's how the TTHF movement started! :thumbup:

Love that quote -- it's awesome!
 
Awww :hugs: LuckyD, thank you! Has anyone told you you are the sweetest ever! :flower: Oh...sounds like fun working in the rain! I hope to be a property owner one day!!! Your land really is so pretty and peaceful looking..:cloud9: It's nice to have a few more days of freedom to enjoy your land and DH before heading off to the big workplace! Enjoy your 'me' time!

And LuckyD, you are so very much correct! I am pulling for my girls to join me very very soon. I miss you girls so much and I would love to continue this journey with my girls starting and continuing their journey with me. Then we can all meet on your land in a few years with our children and camp out for a week! ;)

I think this is a great plan...NZ camp-out with the babies! We can drink wine and eat yummy food and remember those long-ago days when we were TTC....

Good evening ladies! Glad to see you back, honeybee!

I know it's silly, but I've never thought about how some of you are heading into winter while some of us are heading into summer! Crazy to think how it will soon be 100 degrees here, and snowing and freezing there. I am loving the thought of us all sitting at our computers all around the world right now. (even though you're either asleep or at work or whatever!) I don't know why I'm thinking about it so much, but it's really cool to be able to talk to all of you!

I'm not sure how I'd get through TTC without you! I'd probably have gone mental by now! :wacko:

I agree Squirrel - I am so grateful to have you all here to chat to. There honestly isn't anyone else I can talk to about this - well, I talk to my OH but not in such detail! Thanks for being such wonderful women :hugs:

this morning my right nipple reeaaaallly hurts. but i had random boob pains last month so im ignoring it lol.

i wanna go camping on lucky's land toooooooo!!

have a great day/eve.xxx

There is totally a spot for you on the land Honeybee! I'll reserve it with your name.

why do i bother going on facebook!?! a friend of mine that i know started trying around the same time as me just announced she's 3 months preggo. how is that fair. im not even a tiny bit preggo. just did a test, bfn, obviously. gaaah.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry :hugs: stupid Facebook. The whole getting pregnant thing doesn't seem to be based on fairness - it's just random, which makes things so frustrating. Hope you are ok :hugs:

Still dealing with crime - there were some people outside work today (4 guys in a car) who clearly wanted to steal stuff from our work, but we managed to chase them away (they were being so suspicious so clearly not professionals.

That is so awesome to hear that therapy is going so well and that you and your OH are enjoying each other! And I LOVE that quote - so, so true. Thanks for sharing it - I am going to remember that when I am feeling down.

Thanks Julia! I already know that I am going to obsess over that in the 2ww...!

Julia, thank you for posting your 'charting', I enjoyed reading it.
My hayfever is staring to drive me crazy but I WILL NOT take my antihistamines!! I have started to see more cm and I won't risk drying it up again. Last night I had trouble falling asleep because I felt itchy all over and I rubbed my eyes so bad last night that I look a little like a monster this morning!!!

More good news, got my computer back last night and so far so good it is still running! I will see if I can post some pics.

Oh, yuck to hayfever! I get it bad too and it drives me CRAZY! The itchy eyes are the worst. Have you tried anything else for it? I once went to a homeopath and it helped. A friend of mine also had acupuncture and she never got hayfever again! I have always meant to try that.

Gorgeous photos Soph! Love them! The boys are so cute all dressed up at your wedding! Awww, lovely family!


I am going to watch Glee today - all that talk of it a few weeks ago has inspired me! It is cold and grey here, so perfect day for curling up with a DVD. Things are fine with me, it rained all day yesterday so I listened to a lot of Bob Dylan and made feijoa and chocolate chip cupcakes - yum! AF has gone - hurrah - so will probably start having a few random BDs soon just for fun and to get into the swing of things, so to speak....but don't want to wear ourselves out, as I didn't get a positive OPK until CD18 last cycle and want to have something left in the tanks.

How funny, just as I was typing that my OPKs and pre-seed arrived! Now just waiting on the softcups...
 
Hi ladies, just a quick check in to say hi before I go to bed. Work has been BRUTAL this week...so exhausted. Will catch up more, soon!
 
bad news ladies :( :( :(
I just got a smiley face on my opk and dh doesn't get home til sunday :(
This is crazy, I'm only cd10!!!! I have never Oed this early, looks like it may be over before it has even begun! We haven't even bd once this cycle! I tried to get him to bd before he left but I wanted to go to bed and he wanted to stay up late so he would be tired and sleep on the long bus the next day and I thought it would be fine because there was no way I would O before he got back. :( :( :(
very sad right now.
 
Oh soph I'm sorry hun... :hugs:

Not fimiliar with the cbfm.., does smiley mean you're going to ov any time now?
 
Soph - loved your pictures. Sorry to hear about the positive opk with no DH around - maybe its a false positive - how long are your cycles normally? Sorry to hear about the hayfever - I usually try Vitamin C in large doses but that also isn't the best for ttc.

MyTurnYet - sorry to hear about your work. Hope it will be kinder to you now.

Julia thanks for all the details - its always good to know what happened in a successful cycle.
 
i'm still here just rather tired and confused about my body i think i am started CD 1 yesterday or day before but not sure as i keep bleeding on and off so never know when my period is here

Hi ladies, just a quick check in to say hi before I go to bed. Work has been BRUTAL this week...so exhausted. Will catch up more, soon!

Oh No! I hope work gets better! There is nothing worse at work than being miserable!! Especially when half of your life is spent there! :hugs:

bad news ladies :( :( :(
I just got a smiley face on my opk and dh doesn't get home til sunday :(
This is crazy, I'm only cd10!!!! I have never Oed this early, looks like it may be over before it has even begun! We haven't even bd once this cycle! I tried to get him to bd before he left but I wanted to go to bed and he wanted to stay up late so he would be tired and sleep on the long bus the next day and I thought it would be fine because there was no way I would O before he got back. :( :( :(
very sad right now.

Oh No Soph! I hope it's not a real positive. :hugs: How long are your cycles generally?

Damnit....how far away is he? Can you go see him for a quickie with a softcup in hand?
 
LuckyD and Tanikit, thanks! Someone on another thread had asked about knowing everything that someone who got their bfp has done in a cycle with symptoms and all. Well she is in luck because I write it all down! :winkwink: My main reason for posting it in here was because I had alot of the same damn symptoms every month, all the af is coming symptoms too. Watery CM, Cramps, sore boobs, etc....want to shed some light on my girls! :flower:

:hi: anna!
