Waiting for our BFPs! Please hurry :-D

[cathgibbs]

Did they say there would be any achness or anything? Saying that tho hun I wouldn't be surprised if the first couple of times you dtd will be a bit sore

Well im a poasaholic so iv started now lol....my chart is freaky this cycle. ....got a sore throat. ...soreboobs started yest and I woke at 5am feeling queezy but knowing me its progesterone related lol xxx

 

[Nina83]

The weather here goes from boiling hot to cold. Last night we had out first rainfall. I don't think we'll see rain again for at least 2 months though! It was cooler in the evening last week, but just yesterday we slept with the AC on, so who knows.
Cath, have you had your progesterone checked before? Why do you say your queeziness is P related? I'm a newbie to progesterone... All I know is I usually feel crappier during the TWW.
I'm really hoping for you

LL- It would make sense it would be a bit sore. How you managed to wait until now is beyond me.

 

[cathgibbs]

Turkey you live isn't it Nina? How doyou find the cclimat? Id lve to move aabroad wwould you ever consider moving back to Canad?

Lol I ddon't know hun haha I do know that early preg symptoms are similar to prog symptoms so just assume its prog lol yep had it checked a few months back it was 64 which means I def ovulate haha xxx

 

[Nina83]

No, I live in Israel, I can't remember who lives in Turkey, but someone is definitely from there!
We'd consider moving back to Canada, we always bring it up, but for now we're here I would like to raise my kids in Canada, or at least them in school anywhere other than here. We do have a lot of good things, but there's always the bad as well, like in all places. Prices are so high here. Pension funds are a big issue now. Everyone knows that we're going to be doomed when we retire and there's nothing at all we can do about it. DH and I have to sit down and start putting more money away for our pension, otherwise we'll be living off the streets, and we earn more than above the minimum.
We bought our apartment in December, and since then the value of the house has gone up 10%. And we don't even live in a major city, it's a freakin simcity suburb. That's crazy. I'm just glad we jumped on the opportunity when we did, otherwise we would not be able to afford it.

No they didn't say much about recovery just not to have sex for about 6 weeks and that meant the first time was bang when in about to ovulate so that was lucky. I asked if I could try again straight away and they said that was fine and it would have allowed extra healing from the ectopic so I'm now more than ready!! Cath those signs sound very positive! Eek

 

[cathgibbs]

Ahhh I think its Ece that lives in Turkey?? Sorry hun I thought it was you lol

What is the schooling like in Israel hun? Is your DF from Canada? Ahhhh that sucks about the Pension thing hun I hate the fact that we have to put a percentage of our pay away for when we are in our 70's - it makes you realise that even though your in your 20's you are eventually going to get to 70 haha it makes me scared to think that one day ill be all old! What do you do for a living hun?

LL You had a lap with your ectopic hun didnt you? Did you find sex after that hurt? It freaking killed with me (my tube was left in??) it felt like my tube was about to explode but it went away about 3 months later? I think your bits have gone through so much its gonna hurt you for a bit which sucks!! So they said if you concieve this cycle everything will be ok with the cervix??? Excited!!!

Temp gone up AGAIN today?! xxx

 

[Nina83]

Yeah, I think it is ece who is from Turkey.

FX for you : )))))

I went to grade school in Canada, and middle and high in Israel. My parents didn't really care and I was a crappy student. I just barely passed anything and they never even knew. Or know. I never bothered to tell them. My younger brother on the other hand got special attention. Not sure why, maybe baby of the family? He's lucky.
I went to college, paid myself. My parents didn't bother to know exactly what I was doing there either. It was really the worst time of my life- I had NO support from them whatsoever. They didn't even come to visit me, only once to help me move in, and then once to move out. No wonder I'm such a fruit loop

I'm in graphic design. I used to be a textile designer, baby stuff, now I do mainly marketing. I work for a clothing franchise, and they've bought a new company, so I might switch positions. I told my boss a few months ago I'd be interested in a position as a visual merchandise manager, so my job might go through a few changes. Not sure what I want.

I got a slight temp rise this morning. Hoping it goes up more tomorrow, I always have a slow rise though. After all this cramping this past week + I better have ovulated.

 

[HappilyTTC]

Cath: FXed for you as always.

Ladyluck: Woohoo to TTC again!

Nina: Graphic design? I would love that. I think it would be awesome to go into the visual marketing division. Fingers crossed for you for that and TTC. I wish I was in a more creative field, but alas I am stuck in boring office HR work. Hey! It's a job, though.

And no kidding about the retirement topic! Putting that % away every month hurts, especially when I can't use it for many years, which then reminds me that I am indeed going to be that old.

I hope you all are able to figure something out for retirement, Nina. Our ultimate plan is to open a small bed and breakfast, so we will be working a loooong time.

 

[ladyluck84]

Cath do u know what I never thought to ask about the sex and now I wish I had! I was just so shocked when they called with the results because u didn't even know that, that was being done. I'm not sure if they explained it to me or not, I was on a lot if morphine so it's all a bit if a blur.

Happily how are u? Where are u in your cycle?

 

[cathgibbs]

Nina your job sounds so interesting hun!! My friend is a graphic designer and LOVEs her job!!!

Woohooo!!! Another rise!! looks like you ov hunny!!

Hey Happily where are you at in your cycle?

LL Have you dtd since the night it hurt? if so how was it? Hope its easing up slightly for you hun? x


xxxx

 

[Nina83]

Cath, did you POAS?!

 

[cathgibbs]

Yep BFN chick xxx

 

[Nina83]

Well, it is still early, and your chart really does look good.

 

[cathgibbs]

Thank you hun im either 10 or 9 dpo which like you said is still early, had a slight dip this am but compared to my previous charts this one is sooooo perfect even with my bfp in May this one looks the best - just need those temps to stay up!!

How are you hun? Relieved you have ov?? Welcome to the 2WW!! xxxx

 

[Nina83]

I think you're probably still early. I seem to think that since I got a BFP at 9dpo it should be like that all the time. It isn't. I want to try and hold off POAS as long as I can (ha!)
Your chart looks really good, nice and steady! I am jealous
I wouldn't worry about the dip, it's hardly there.
Do you use Fahrenheit in the UK? I always thought it was only used in the US.

I'm feeling a bit better today. I kind of feel like, not sure what the word is, like, what's happened has already happened. As somewhat a control freak it bugs me to know that I just don't know right now- even though my body already does. Maybe that's why I POAS so early. It's less of knowing, more of control. Does that make sense?

 

[cathgibbs]

Hahaha im the same hun - first loss I didnt find out until day after AF, 2nd loss I found out at 8dpo and 3rd loss I didnt find out until 12 DPO so I know anything is possible lol If I dont get a BFP this cycle then my chart is just being very mean!! I convert my temps hun then input the fahrenheit temps onto FF :-D

No that makes sense hun - I think TTC is completely out of our hands and like you im a bit of a control freak and I hate not knowing when Ov will be so I cant time DTD around that etc but the only thing I am grateful for is that it only takes one lil swimmer - and sometimes that doesnt bloody work lol!!

We only have 3 more cycles to concieve before we stop ttc so its all systems go the next few weeks xxx

 

[HappilyTTC]

That's why I POAS too often. It is about control. That's why I do the little things I do- whether that's buying a blanket, swaddlers, or putting the crib in storage. (Thanks for the info on Aden & Anais, Nina- I bought too many of their things.)

I just want to feel like I have some control in all this.

Keeping my FXed for both of you.

Dwell also makes great stuff, their swaddles are so soft and cute Pricey but worth it.

I know you're on a bit of a TTC hiatus, but I'm really glad you're getting tests done. ((hugs)) I know they say everything happens for a reason, you never know. Hopefully you'll be as good as new in no time

 

[HappilyTTC]

Thanks, Nina. I know these tests are what I need. It's tough to sit it out, but it's a good thing. And with this surgery on Thursday, maybe he will get everything out and I won't need to go back for anything.

Dwell, Yikes. Another bay stuff obsession.

 

[Nina83]

The good thing about dwell is that they have grown up stuff too. Makes the wallet happier
