Hello to all the new ladies too!! (sorry I can't remember all the names)

AFM - CD5 now and AF almost gone... After 5 weeks of being sick I am finally starting to feel better but not 100% yet.... we're getting there. (My AD and DH are sick now too)... I so would love to get a BFP before my 40th b-day next month - it would be the BEST BEST present ever... If not then 40 is the new 30 right?!

Love to you all!!
xoxo

Sorry to hear you were feeling unwell also, how are you feeling now?

Im really glad to be feeling better, i felt so guilty for my boys, i usually take them somewhere or do something fun at the weekend and i could barely drag myself out of bed.. so instead we had picnics in mummys bed!! lol they thought it was great, i was left with lots of crumbs heee hee xxx

 

[eoinandconor]

4 DPO and I already feel like af is on the way.. Hoping this is a good sign.. Lots of af cramping and constipation.

the month i got my BFP i felt af pains right after ovulation i always felt af was on its way! fingers crossed for you xxx

Just waiting to mc at any time now...

Oh LilSluz!! I'm so sorry sweetie!!!! I was really hoping this was it for you. If you need to talk, please let me know. We can talk on here or you can add me to facebook or e-mail me. I know what it's like to miscarry and it's heartbreaking. You are in my thoughts and prayers!!

 

[dashka]

thanks Laura - I'm almost better (80%).. we're getting there..... just really stressed from work and home (AD is in her very 'trying 3's')... makes it hard to TTC

 

[dashka]

good luck Jessika!

 

[JessikaKnupp]

good luck Jessika!

thank you dashla! Cramping this morning and feel a little constipated as well! Ugh! Praying for a sticky bean!

 

[MrsHopeful]

Lilsluz -hugs to you, hope you are ok!

 

[JessikaKnupp]

Lilsluz: So sorry about everything hun. Ill be praying for you.


A little achy today. Headache that comes and goes more so coming right now. HUNGRY. SLEEPY. Got a little angry last night at the hubby for no reason. Tight pull on my right side just now. Not painful just very noticeable kinds like a sharp cramp for a second.

Lil- I am so very sorry to hear about your beta results. I've been teary just thinking about it. I wanted so badly for this to work out for you. Take care of yourself and know that we're here for you. And I'm still praying for you.

I don't know, but maybe that MTHFR might have interfered this time. Now you're on the meds and you'll have been on them for a while when you get back into TTC...so I hope that when your decide to start again, your bean will be so sticky that at the end of the 9 months you'll have to coax her/him out.

 

[DBZ34]

Wow! Your doctor sounds horrible! Obviously she's never had to ttc or she'd be more sympathetic to your questions! If they won't do the blood test with you saying it's been two cycles, tell them that you got a +hpt. Then even if the blood test is negative, you can say "Oh, must've been a fluke." Don't be discouraged by the EWCM. I had that for quite some time early in my pregnancy and the aversion to chicken is bang on. I still can't stand pork!

Sarah- I know what you mean. I think if she had ever TTC she'd know just how hard it is to wait even a year for a BFP and she wouldn't be so dismissive. I don't know, but that office policy sucks.

Thanks for the EWCM info too. It does give me hope. I haven't tried out the chicken again, but we'll see how I feel about it next time.

And Saturday is so close!! I can't wait to hear whose guess was right!

Ella - I thought you were in UK, so you must have been up really late the other night! Tomorrow your temp sb better & FF may change it if it was taken late? It adjusted mine already from early temp so it doesn't look so bad now. How long is DH gone for? Did you BD before he left? FX you find out something SOON!

I was! I'm a night owl. I find it so hard to go to bed sometimes because I'm so easily distracted by tv shows and the internet...and BnB. I've been really tired during the day lately and end up napping when I get home form work (I think that has more to do with my iron issues than anything else) but that also adds to the staying up late trend.

Temp was about the same this AM. Still no ov, but I'm being patient....ish. DH is gone til Monday. We BD'd the day before he left, so hopefully, if ov is going to happen soon, it will happen before Saturday. Chances of catching the egg this month seem lower, with DH being away and my body being crazy...but FF tells me that if my temp shoots up tomorrow, that I ov'd on CD14, which would be great because that's the day before DH left.

More of the waiting game it is....

Hey Ladies!

So I had a colposcopy and biopsies taken yesterday, which wasn't too terrible. I had my husband with me for this visit so I knew he would be a second set of ears to hopefully hear edverything that I did not. My appointment yesterday was with my "regular" OB/GYN so she was able to answer a lot of my questions. She is pretty certain I am going to need some type of treatment, which I was prepared for. However, the previous doctor I met with gave me information about a LEEP procedure and my doctor today was talking about a cope biopsy. So I did a little ready and it sounds like a cone biopsy takes more of the cervix compared to a LEEP procedure, which only takes the top layer of my cervix. Now she knows we are TTC so she said she is taking that into consideration as too what she decides to do, but my health is definitely #1. The cone biopsy is better at making sure they get clean margins, but it is more painful so therefore it will be a surgical procedure done with anesthesia. We should have the biopsy results back in about a week.

Now as far as having a baby she wouldn't really get into all the details with me because I don't think she wanted to overwhelm me, but as a medical professional myself I can tell when somebody is being vague for some reason. Ive heard that pregnancy's after a cone biopsy can be high risk, but some people go on to have babies without any problem. I think it depends on how much if my cervix needs to be removed.

All of this is very nerve racking. My doctor says that this is caused by the high-risk HPV and that is probably has been dormant and my immune system has been fighting it for a while. If my immune system is compromised by stress then is can allow the virus to come out and cause changes on my cervix. My husband and I have had a really rough 2 years that have been very stressful. Between gettings married, buying a house, my husband being back in school, and TTC along with my horrible in-laws making everything 10x's more stressful it's no wonder this is happening. My husband and I already had along discussion about my stress levels and he is going to have to step up to the plate with his parents a lot more. He lets them get away with too much b/c he is just such a nice guy. My lifestyle definitely needs to change. I have to learn to let things go a lot more and have a clearer perspective about what is truly important. My life!

Sorry this is so long! I appreciate having you guys to listen to me.

Hey Lilly, Glad to hear that things are moving along and you've got a doctor that's thinking about you and willing to take your TTC into consideration. But of course your health comes first. Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about you and wondering if everything is okay.

I'm glad hubby is willing to step up and handle the stress of his parents. I agree with whoever said that you need to relax. Please do! Go have some you time, but please keep us updated!

4 DPO and I already feel like af is on the way.. Hoping this is a good sign.. Lots of af cramping and constipation.

I hope it's a good sign too! Fx!

1dpo today ladies!!!
Let the waiting begin!!!

Hooray for 1DPO!

Sorry to hear you were feeling unwell also, how are you feeling now?

Im really glad to be feeling better, i felt so guilty for my boys, i usually take them somewhere or do something fun at the weekend and i could barely drag myself out of bed.. so instead we had picnics in mummys bed!! lol they thought it was great, i was left with lots of crumbs heee hee xxx

A picnic in bed sounds great! I'm glad you're feeling better!

 

[sarah_anne]

Ella - I think the same thing! If she'd ever TTC, she wouldn't act like that!

Yeah, I had EWCM for quite some time after I got my BFP. I'm just now being able to eat meat. Still can't cook it though.

I'm so excited to know what we're having!! I'll be happy with either one! Hubby really wants a boy, so I hope it's a boy for him. He's been SO great this entire pregnancy and I just want him to have everything he wants. His reasoning for wanting a boy first is so adorable too! He wants our daughter to have a big brother to protect her!

Hi ladies,

I have been having some interesting symptoms....I am 2 dpo today. Had one wipe of brown CM yesterday, and now a little today. Also having some slight cramps. Maybe it's the Clomid? I know I ovulated, I got 2 peaks on my CBFM, along with a temp rise. Anyone have that happen before???

 

[JessikaKnupp]

So I thought I was going crazy yesterday when I kept smelling the hint of alcohol , that was last night around 11pm and now tonight in also smelling it! But here's the kicker we don't drink nor anyone we are around! And hubby said my boobs look bigger and I was like really cause they feel heavier! Lol! Maybe ladies!

Usually I try to wait until 10-11 dpo....I am only 2 dpo, so a long way to go Some people get BFP's at 8 dpo....you should test tomorrow, esp. since you have some good symptoms.
