Oh good - that is great that he is all fine and good for him being a sperm doner

Yes hopefully you will ovulate this month with all those meds - GL

Welcome to all the new ladies!! Sorry if I have missed anyone!

AFM, I am 3-4dpo and hanging out. I am SUPER tired and trying not to symptom spot. Had a headache the 1st few days, but that is the norm for me. Taking the progesterone cream so I am hoping that helps prevent the spotting that usually happens with me. Boy, I really hope this cycle is it!!

Hey Wendy!!

Not much is new and exciting here! I hit 16 weeks today! 3 more weeks until our gender assessment scan and then hopefully we'll know what we're having! I told some of my staff team today and they were so excited! I'm telling the rest tomorrow, so it'll be a big day!

How are you feeling? I thought (I'm probably wrong though!) that you weren't supposed to use progesterone cream after ovulation? Keep in mind that I just think I read that once somewhere, so I'm sure you know WAY more than me about it!

As odd as it sounds, I had nausea at 3dpo with this pregnancy and my husband said "You're pregnant again. I know it!" and here I am, so keep symptom spotting! I also broke down crying and convinced myself I wasn't pregnant both times, so that's definitely a symptom for me, lol.

oh that is so exciting, telling everyone! And even more exciting to find out what the baby is Yay for you!

Actually, you are not supposed to take progesterone cream before ovulation, which I was doing. I was doing it on the advice of a lady who has her PHd and a lot of knowledge about hormones. I think my estrogen is really high, so I was taking it to even my levels out. So I really didn't expect to ovulate. Well I stopped taking the cream for a few days, as I was going to take a hormone saliva test, and ended up getting a + OPK and ovulating!! I am so excited. So I started it up again, b/c if you are low on prog. during the TWW, that could interfere with implantation, and the baby "sticking".

Anyhoo, I have been having some mild cramping today, I pray that is a good sign! I am only 3-4 dpo, but I can hope

 

[curleymumma]

GL wendyK- i just gave in and did POAS even though i know its still at least 1-2 days early for the EARLIEST to detect...why do we do this to ourselves?? But anyhow- i expected the BFN and got it! but i wont be dissapointed untill its confirmed at the right time!

 

[bree801]

hi ya'll I'm new to this. Im in my 2ww and its killing me my fertility window was 3/9/12 to 3/15/12 i bd'd 4 times during that time so I'm hoping it happens this month. my af went 2 days longer then normal so i feel like it threw off my ovulation schedule does this happen? i had a mc last june and this is the first month we have tried with the charting and everything. i feel like i have symptoms but then again i think its all in my head. this would be baby #1 the hubby and i are both on vitamins my cycle is always on time it lasts four 4 days this month I've been having tiny little pains like O pains down in my uterus area. i wake up feeling sea sick but it only lasts like 5 mins and never comes back I'm super tired but i feel like I'm just not sleeping well. i noticed yesterday my nipples feel like they are on fire. Sorry TMI and also they kill up by my armpits. its probably all in my head but i would like to hear some symptoms you guys had in your 2ww [= anything will help past the time.. when is the earliest i should test? hah

That's right honey! It's not over until AF comes! No worries, we are all POAS crazy on here

I hope you get your BFP this time!!

It sounds like you have a lot of great symptoms! Do you know how many days past ovulation (dpo) you are? I usually wait to test until 10 dpo, as implantation happens usually around 7-10 dpo, and sometimes even a bit later. But there are those who start at 5 dpo and test the whole TWW. I have not had a MC, but a few of the ladies on here have, and I do believe it can throw your cycles off. Sometimes stress or getting sick can also delay your ovulation. I really hope you get your BFP! You will like it here, everyone is very supportive and there is no such thing as TMI or a dumb question.
GL honey!

 

[curleymumma]

.. when is the earliest i should test? hah

[/QUOTE]

Hey there- i recomend waiting till as close as you can- but i dont alwyas tae my own advice...It deends how much heartache you get to look at a BFN- compared to waiting and obsessing over it. if i test way to early i shrug it off and generally feel relieved that i dont need to think about it for a few more days! But towards the end if i start testing at 13 or 14 dpo i start to take it hard- but i suppose that help prepare us for

GL! Im at cd25 of 28-30- so im anywhere from 10-12 DPO-
I did have some cramping after O and tenderness after sex recently
No day symptoms at all.
At night i have woken three nights in a row with indigestion- which i havnt had in 7 years (since i was last pg)- and for the last 4-5 nights very vivid dreams and achy legs.

Hopefully they are symptoms of pg and not in my imagination....

 

[bree801]

thats good to know thank you! I'm only 6dpo i usually have the eggwhite cm when i ovulate but this month i have been super dry. the past two days have been creamyish. but other then thats its been a weird month! I'm just hoping for the bfp this month as i can see many others are as well. [= good luck! and thanks for the welcome [=

 

[bree801]

oh i understand the imagination part i always imagine things. but this month its different i have a tender lower abdomen.. thats weird for me. also i had indigestion last night and a little bit today witch the only other time I've had indigestion was with my last pregnancy. that ended in mc. so I'm taking it as a good sign rather then a bad one other then that I'm trying to keep my imagination from running wild. i have a good feeling about this month but I'm trying not to get my hopes up and I'm waiting to test as late as possible. haha i hate those bfn's its so discouraging!! good luck to you! do you have any children?

 

[gemmy]

yea wendy for ovulation! glad you are doing well hunny. really really praying that this is your month i'm doing ok thanks but move has been slightly delayed again. considering i'm now cd8 and bding is totally unthought of i already feel out but not even tried yet!

welcome to new ladies good luck everyone!

happy sixteen weeks sarah

Laura - just wanted to send you some & some & hoping you get well REALLY soon! So sorry you are feeling & hurt yourself. It sounds like you are having a tough-run these last few days. Its stressful enough when you get strep B normally, so I am sure its gotta be very stressful when preg.!

Hang in there, Irish mama, I am sure it will get better soon I'll be sending you some reiki tonight, too

Im so sorry to moan, i know how much you all wish to be pregnant and here i am pregnant and moaning about being ill, i'm so sorry, i've just had a really awful day today, Ive cried so much my hormones are all over the place, Ive never heard of strep B before and got really worried as i read if left untreated can cause miscarriage and mine have been left untreated for a week.. then i get my anti biotics, take one of them, then read the packet and it said not not take if pregnant, had to call Doctors, they gave me wrong medicine and got new ones.. how awful..

Suzi you are so sweet, i really mean that and appreciate it

Oh, Laura, feel free to moan here anytime. And you had a lot going on! A fall, a strep infection and then the wrong antibiotics! I think you deserve a moan or two and we're always hear to listen. I hope you feel better soon!

Ahh i can't multi quote, how annoying!

Maria - bless you for thinking of us all!! We are thinkig of you and hope you feel better and those anti-biotics kick in!!

Ella - thanks hun for advice with cm, we haven't bd though, both a bit stressed. Was ment to move today - complications again. we will just see how this month pans out. temps are not showing anything so will still just go for it from cd 10 I think. wow I am impressed with you BDing 8 days straight - that's impressive GL and yeh i hope that is ovulation for you keep

Hey Gemmy!! Sorry to hear that things are so stressful. A move is always stressful, even without complications, so I hope things smooth out a bit for you.

I was impressed that I made it 8 days straight. Just when I thought I was done....close but no ov. lol. Finally ov'd and it was a good thing I did, because DH just went out of town again. I couldn't imagine BDing all those days and not ov'ing before he left...

Hi ya ladies!

Ella-Yay for finally ovulating-we are in the TWW girl! I know what you mean, I was super excited to ovulate, as well. I really hope this is it for us!!

AFM, I am 3-4dpo and hanging out. I am SUPER tired and trying not to symptom spot. Had a headache the 1st few days, but that is the norm for me. Taking the progesterone cream so I am hoping that helps prevent the spotting that usually happens with me. Boy, I really hope this cycle is it!!

GL beautiful ladies!

Good luck to you, my TWW buddy! I hope this is it too! I'm finally in the TWW and sitting at 2DPO...no symptoms other than gas so far...but I'll be glad when that one dies down. lol.

Welcome to the TWW, Bree!! Sorry to hear about your mc. Lots of things can throw off ovulation, including a mc. And if Af was delayed, then it's definitely possible ov was pushed back as well. Do you have a link to your chart? Your symptoms sound promising! Definitely keep us updated. I hope you TWW ends in a BFP!

 

[curleymumma]

yep, i have three btful kids, but we are looking for the next one! How about you?

 

[Lillyrose20wd]

So I'm 8 DPO today and had some crazy dreams last night. My chart looks like its trying to go triphasic. What do you guys think? Trying to not get too excited since last month it looked like it was going to be triphasic and then AF arrived!

Not much is new and exciting here! I hit 16 weeks today! 3 more weeks until our gender assessment scan and then hopefully we'll know what we're having! I told some of my staff team today and they were so excited! I'm telling the rest tomorrow, so it'll be a big day!

I knew there was some time when you aren't typically supposed to use it, but I was just wrong as to when! That's good that you're using it if your progesterone levels are low! I really hope it leads to a BFP for you! You deserve it!
