Hi ladies
Well I am back from skiing and injury free! Hurrah!

Not as much BDing as I would like though. DH had a cold when we went and I have a cold now so we are taking it in turns to feel rubbish it seems. Skiing was still awesome though!

So - I am CD22 today (which is when I OVd last month confirmed with OPKs). BDd on Sunday am and hopefully tonight and the next few days. no idea if I am OVing or not though. Just trying to chill out and hope for the best.
Wish my cycles were not as long though - see what happens I guess

I have caught up with everything over the last week or so (should be going through email really) and so will be back in the general conversation now.

Loving the pics, welcome to the new people and still wishing the best to everyone! xx

My cm is just plain weird I guess. It keeps changing Now it's back to milky/lotiony. I was reading online that there really is no way to tell by looking at your cm past ovulation because every body is different and can produce different cm and still be pregnant. So I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I think I'll still observe it just so if I don't turn up pregos this cycle then I'll know what is normal for me past ovulation with no baby on board.

My tummy has been very itchy this morning. All the way to work I was scratching it. Oh well...it could be anything. I'm not using any new soap or washing detergent so??? Well at least I am back to work so it will keep my mind busy. I love the weekends, but they are hard during the tww!

Hope you are doing well. Enjoy your week.

Hello lovely ladies,

Gemmy, that's odd to have that two day dip... I'm not confident at interpreting charts, so I don't want to say I know what's going on! But I would wait to see what the next couple of days bring, see if your temp goes back up...? You must be stressed, I know I would be... thinking of you

Sarah, ohhhh your pictures are so darling, wow and so clear. xo

LilyRose, damn AF. We're right around the same place, I'm on cd2. How long are your cycles? I wonder if we'll be in the tww together Have an amazing time on your trip! My god-mom said to me last night, 'you're trying to get pregnant? Go on a vacation!' I hope it works for you xo

Wendy, ohhhhh I'm praying that the progesterone works for you... you deserve a BFP so much! FX for you... you might have said, but I missed it, are you going to try IUI in April, you say? xo

And everyone else, Ella, Dashka, Maria, Laura, etc etc etc... lots of to us all (except Laura who already received her share, hehehe)

Hey Gemmy! I don't think you're not out yet. I notice the one temp is a white circle, did you temp at a different time there? Was it earlier or later than usual?

It could be that you're having an estrogen surge, which happens around 4-5DPO, and your temps should hopefully rebound tomorrow. It could be an estrogen surge and then implantation (Fx). Or you could have ov'd earlier than you thought you did and you might be farther along in your cycle than you think...but you've been using opks, right? So that's probably not it.

But try not to worry about it (easier said than done, I know) and see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully your temps will sort themselves out soon.

I have a real feeling its gonna be your month Gemmy!!

I have my first midwife appointment on 15th march I will be 8 weeks pregnant, I'm still being sick lots but at least i know its normal and reminds me of how lucky i am to be expecting again..

Good luck to all you girls trying xxx

Thanks! The one that was white shouldn't have been, I have changed it now. The last 8 temps were taken at 6am when my alarm goes off but previous white ones were 7am when dh was on later shift. I must say the last couple of nights I have woken in the early hours - last night around 1am and previous around 4.30am but haven't marked that anywhere and I felt really cold last night.

I am really hoping it is the estrogen and then implantation like you suggest!!! I have considered maybe I ovulated earlier because cd19 is really late for me. Normally around cd15! But opk was cd17 and the temps are consistent with that. Well not worrying now and thinking positive. Just need to get to the weekend as now I am not due untill around Tuesday next week!

Thanks again, good luck for you this cycle

Thanks Laura! I hope your feeling is right, would love to be bump buddies

Wow 8 weeks on 15th March - how fast is that going? Enjoy, may that sickness pass quick xx

 

[DBZ34]

Okay ladies! Here they are!

The first one is a side view. The second one is the baby looking at the wand. The little hand-like thing is their heart and the black spot is their full stomach (apparently they'd been drinking the amniotic fluid right before the ultrasound). The third one is their little face!

SO EXCITED!!!

I can't remember if I said it or not, but what lovely lovely pictures! Your bean has grown into a baby! Thanks for sharing them with us!

I never really put much hope into my CM except when I'm waiting to ovulate. That's pretty much all I look for. I also marked down what my CM was after ovulation to compare from BFN months to BFP months for when I'm trying to conceive my second, but I don't put much faith in it.

Increased hormones causes dry skin. I'm covered in it! Belly and back are the worst! Ugh!

 

[LilSluz]

Hi thanks yes feeling slightly better, just hope it is ok to take sudafed if I am possibly implanting. I was reading people take it to try to conceive girls when ttc as it dries up cm..and I read it is ok to take in 1st tri if pregnant - so I just hope the imbetween bit is ok?

yes can't believe it was so late - cd19 and just glad I BD on cd19, cd 17,cd 15, cd14, 12 and 10!! I had a big dip under the cross hairs today, I hope I'm implanting!

Do you feel hopeful this month?

Hi Gemmy - yes Sudafed is fine. Its in the same class as Benadryl. Here's a list of "OK" meds to take during pregs in case you get any of these symptoms (like I got mad heartbrun last pregs before mc & couldn't take normal Prilosec so was dying). Glad to have found this (for common probs): https://women.webmd.com/pharmacist-11/pregnancy-medicine

Well, the big dip can't be AF yet (unless you really did ov on CD9, but doubt that) so, perhaps its digging itself in there real, real good! Hope it goes up again tomorrow - I'll check again then. FX...

I don't really feel hopeful, but I don't really feel out either - trying to "relax mon" & take it easy & see what happens. thats why I'm not checking BNB every day. Have hormone tests & every other test (20 total, not sure I'll walk outta there alive) tomorrow so a bit nervous, but hey - its gonna show what its gonna show & I'm better off dealing with issues if/when they are found. Hormones are off, but not sure quite how bad, so we'll see. I do know, however, that my timing was quite superb this past ov if I should say so myself (pat on the back)

Sarah - can't believe how fast time has flown by! So happy for the peach-baby & the pics were awesome. hey, whats a little dry skin when you have something that precious growing inside you!

Wendy - keeping FX for you that prog fills out all the necessary areas over the next month!

TBC - I know long cycles are the worst. I've been avg around CD19. Takes sooooo much longer, but it will be sweet when it happens!

Laura - 8 weeks, what happened to the time?! yay!
