TWW Support group to help get you through the nitty gritty...and beyond

[Smommy013]

Mommy- i am so sorry to hear about your son. I hope things get better with him and he recovers quickly.

Bab-Welcome! it is hard not to symptom spot, and it being your last month makes it even harder! this is a good group of women.

Mrs-My DH is the same way. He likes to pull the i work card. But i start school tomorrow, and I take care of our 4 year old the rest of the time. We will see if things even out. But doubt they will.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Babttc-the symptom spotting is the worst but as the months pass by you can really determine when something is different. I hope the different symptoms mean good things for you. When will u test?
Mommy-its always scary when your kids have to go through anything that is a risk to them. I hope all goes well and he's a 100% in no time.
How is everyone else doing?
Afm-we are camping again for a few days and plan to get some beach time in today as its beautiful out. Goos news is I have no tests with me so just waiting it out. Nothing too much going on in there and I think I'm 5-7 dpo.

 

[BABTTC123]

I will test next weekend. Af is due either on Thursday or Saturday. I already took a test the other day just for the hell of it and got bfn, but it is still way too early to tell. The one thing I can say is definitely different is that I have been cramping since ovulation (only mild cramps) and my uterus feel more firm. I had some interesting symptoms the past couple of days, such as being emotional over nothing. Last night I almost started crying over the smell of pizza xD lol and then for some reason it made me really horny! So eventually my hubby and I dtd and it was literally the best that I have ever had! Today my boobs are starting to get a little sore, but they have been getting bigger for sure-- though that isn't an unusual symtom for me, just that they don't hurt. My nausea seems to have disappeared as well. I normally suffer for pretty bad nausea thanks to metformin and the past week it has slowly gone away. On Friday I went an entire day without eating (not by choice) and didn't get sick at all. It's kind of weird. :S

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Hey gals, hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
Mommy-sorry to read about ds, I hope he is well quickly.
Bab-welcome and hope these are all leading to your bfp, they all sound very promising. Just a few more days before you start testing, right!
Smommy-how are you holding out? When is the next dr apt?
Peach-Where are you at girl?! Hoping staying busy and lovin life!
Wishing-Hope you catch the egg this time around.
Ready-we love camping, we have gone every weekend except this last one, since June!! I am 5dpo so we are close, again! yay

AFM-The baby shower went AWESOME!! I have such fabulous friends, I don't know what I'd do without them! We all got to love on the little baby, which is the best part!! DH and I didn't leave until 11pm we were all hanging out, about 4 couples, just sitting around drinking and chatting!! I am ready for this week to go by quickly, it's a long weekend and I will stop the progesterone on Sunday so prob test on Friday and if bfn will test again on Sunday. My only concern is if it is a bfp I will go at least 1 day without the progesterone, which I guess will be ok since Monday is a holiday and dr office will be closed. I am anxious also because dh and I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary on the 7th!!! I am hoping that we will go do something but not sure yet! I am really hoping for a bfp for our present!!!!!!!! How awesome would that be! Well hope you gals have a great week!!

 

[BABTTC123]

Mrs. Burch I hope you get the anniversary present as well! Ironically we share the same anniversary day exactly xD this will be mine and my hubbies 1 year as well
We don't have anything planned though so we will just find a way to make it a fun or relaxing evening

Personally, I would test at least by Thursday just in case. If you get a bfp then you can call your doctor and ask to be seen asap! Maybe they could get you in before the weekend

All my symptoms have stopped. Yesterday it felt my boobs were getting stung but there was nothing there and no sigbs of lumps or bumps.
I am planning to test on Friday, but I will probably test sooner lol

 

[Mommy_DK]

Thank you all for wishing my baby boy well, we go in tomorrow at 11am and should be home around 8pm... Still very nervous but relieved that he will no longer be in pain and this may be the last of his dental issues/pain.

Mrs- Glad you had a good time at the shower and got to love on the baby, I miss having tiny babies around but still love on my big ones like crazy, DH calls me a smother mother. Happy anniversary!! Hope you all have a beautiful weekend and get exactly what you want, Fx double crossed tightly for you

Bab- Welcome Hun , happy 1yr anniversary to you and your DH too Fx crossed for you wishing you the best on your testing early, I think I'll be testing early as well since I have 3 tests sitting in my bathroom just calling me to use them lol ........ I hope this is the cycle for all of us ladies

I have no idea if the tests are invalid, I'm testing at the wrong times or I just plain old do not ovulate but pretty much all 7 opk's were showing 'low LH surges' . I used clear blue opk's with the two lines and the testing line was light meaning a low surge or not ovulating...? We have been bding with preseed all weekend but won't get to bd again until Thursday or Friday so idk how high our chances are, I am praying that the 2-4 times we did bd with the preseed + Maca was enough. AF is due anywhere from the 5th-7th so I am trying to make myself wait until at least the 9th to test which will be extremely hard but I have to cut back on the amount of $$ we're spending on tests. But I know you all will be here to get me through the nitty gritty

 

[BABTTC123]

Thank you Mommy_DK

I usually save my money for the good tests until I see a possible sign on a dollar tree test, which is now only $0.88 at WalMart! Wewt! lol
If you need to get that itch to test out then maybe you should stock 4 (or more) of the cheap tests but keep in mind that they may not be as accurate or sensitive as the good ones. It just helps to satisfy that urge.
I'm not sure if I was in this group when you were talking about your sons dental issues, mind if I ask what happened?
I know that some kids can have issues when growing their teeth in, like my sister. Her teeth were coming in all over the place so she had to deal with braces for 10 years of her life to get them straightened out. It was so bad that the Orthodontist was worried she wouldn't be able to eat solid food at all if it was left alone. She now has perfectly straight teeth which I am jealous of lol Mine are straight aside from a few, but they are hardly noticeable to other people. I can only tell because my tongue rubs against them.

I am kind of sitting at a similar issue as you with not bding enough around ovulation. A lot of drama had happened the weekend before so my husband wasn't quite in the mood and kept complaining about being too tired. The weekend that I did ovulate we were camping and had a family camping near us the first night-- a bit awkward lol and then the next night we got a little tipsy and he went a bit too far and was up all night sick x( so nothing happened until that following Monday. But we did have a little action a couple days before ovulation and I made sure to use preseed. So I am really hoping that worked but I am starting to think that it didn't because all of my symptoms have disappeared. Only time will tell and I am not going to lose all hope just yet!

Yes! I was so excited when I saw $0.88 tests at walmart! Lol , That sounds like a good idea to rack up on a handful of those cheapies for whenever that urge to test sooner comes, Ill have a little fix... I may be a good girl this cycle and really wait it out but I'll pick up a few if I don't get my bfp because I know I can't be that good two cycles in a row lol

It's crazy how with my other 4 pregnancies I had no clue (and still don't) as to when I ovulated , and didn't track my cycles at all had no clue when AF was coming and just BDed whenever and fell pregnant without really trying. This time around I am having to track everything including when we bd ! Bding is so much like a chore now lol but whatever it takes I'm in ! It has been hectic for us tho with trying to find time so I feel your pain with that. If we don't catch our bean this cycle hopefully we can make more time for next cycle. How's the preseed working for you and DH? Does he like it? We just started using it a few days ago

My son has abscess teeth, (8 teeth) they have decayed and the infection can spread further if he doesn't get them removed, so instead of numbing him as they think it can be more traumatizing they want to do anesthesia and get all of the work done at one time. It is nerve wrecking . I will be so glad when my baby is all better and it's over. So no bding until my little Jason is Ok.

 

[Renaendel]

MommyDK, Anesthesia sounds like a great idea. I can see how doing that much work would be traumatizing if he was awake. My thoughts are with you guys for his surgery.

Babttc, welcome to the group!

Mrs. Burch! Showers can be so hard, but it sounds as if it went great. Having a baby to moon over always helps. happy early anniversary to you!

Ready, I hope you are enjoying camping and a test free environment.

Smommy, I too,want updates, how are you doing? How is the first trimester?

AFM, we are finally finally home. We had two 17 hour drives this month for a funeral, then a wedding, then my in laws visited. I am so glad just to be home with just my hubby and kitty. On the ttc front things look really good. My three eggs were on the wrong side, but the doc did confirm it could still work. It looks like I had an implantation dip at 10dpo and I had a possible line tonight. Ohh god I don't want to jinx this. I just want this line to get darker.

 

[BABTTC123]

Oh yikes! Poor guy!! I agree that anesthesia is the best course of action! He will just be a bit groggy coming out lol
When I had my wisdom teeth removed it felt like I blinked my eyes and then was suddenly in another room. It took me a moment to realize what the hell was going on and then it kicked in that I had just had surgery. Felt more like a time warp to me! If he is old enough to understand, maybe you should tell him that he is going to time travel a little especially if he is a doctor who fan!

My hubby says that it feels good to him, as for me I usually like it rough but I am fine with it since it helps get the swimmers up there! I have only used it a few times though; I don't want to waste it if I am not ovulating. I think the extra lubrication helps to prevent chafing for them in those fertile days

 

[ab75]

Mommy, I hope your little boy makes a speedy recovery xx

Hi Ren,

FX for your sticky BFP Hun! You deserve it!!

 

[MolGold]

Hi ladies,

I have been lurking awhile but going through a personal crisis that is so overwhelming that I haven't had the time to write back. Hope you ladies are well.

Nothing much to report on TTC front . . I am anywhere between 1 -3 DPO and felt a strong bout of nausea yesterday, maybe something I ate Anywho.. trying to pass TWW without completely losing it this time! AF due 6 sep and its my birthday on the 9th. Though we aren't BDing acc. to any schedule, not temping and I only took 1 opk this cycle ( by chance it was +ve !) I really secretly wish for a birthday BFP FX to all ladies for all things TTC and otherwise!

 

[wantbabynow]

Hi Molgold, I think we are at the same point in our cycle. I think I ovulated yesterday and got 2 +ve on OPK on day 14 and 15, exhausted with all the bding. My period is due on the 8th of sep. How long have you been trying for? I guess it's 5pm in India right?

yes it is I have been trying for 8 months after my loss few years ago. So far, nothing to show for it. I would have been due next month had I conceived

 

[wantbabynow]

sorry for your loss, I too am Indian like yourself. I went to a fertility specialist and the doc said "you're only 32, you're not over the hill" I said "do you know what that is in Indian years for a women? - about 45!!!" - my mother in law was a grandma at my age!!!! I'm happy with my decisions I wanted a family later in life and wanted to travel and work. Do you find it much harder as an Indian woman TTC? I feel the pressure much more than some of my English friends TTC. Where are you in India? - my family are from Hyderabad, husbands family are from Punjab

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Ren-a line???? Let's see it girl! My everything is crossed for you.

 

[PeachDaisy]

Hey gals! I'm still alive!!!

Hope all is well! I didn't go back too far bc we all know how hard it is to catch up when away for awhile.

Ren - Um line?!?! Post a pic asap or test again and post a pic!!

AFM - Just staying busy still. It's our busy season at work until September 20th-ish. So I don't even know what day it is half the time let alone where I am. Haaa! DH and I have been BDing every other day my entire cycle. The week that I saw some ewcm and felt what I thought could be O pains, we BD'd a few days in a row. I'm 9 days from AF and had a small amount of spotting last night but nothing since. Dk if it's after O spotting or possibly implantation bleeding so I'm not getting my hopes up. We are just going to keep BDing every other day until AF shows just in case I O late again.

FX for everyone as always! I've missed you girls!

 

[Renaendel]

Ok, here is my last test, three hour hold. Peach that is quite the sex marathon you have going on there!
