**TTC in our 20's April** - Page 3

[trekkingirl]

I'm so excited for lots of BFP'S already and it's only the 4th. Congrats mamas, maybe this will be the lucky month for me too. Someone gave me a bunch of newborn cloth diapers and looking through them made the baby seem so much more tangible. I'm so happy! I never thought the day would come when my DH would finally agree with me about another baby. Being able to talk with him about all the stuff that goes along with it has been incredible. The BDing has improved too ( though it was great before ), and not just in a physical way but emotionaly too. I'm so happy. It's like it was when we first met 11 years ago. I am so happy! I already said that!

MELEK!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I have been meaning to text you it's just always been really late and I didn't want to wake you up!! LOL!!!!

OMG OMG OMG!! I am SOOOOOOOO happy for you!! When are you "due"??!?!??!!?!?

***

I'm hoping I can join in with you ladies. I had a m/c in March and we decided to TTC again.

Here is my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/128814

Anyone know WHAT is going on? This is my first cycle after my m/c. I am SO confused. I've had TONS of EWCM.....like tons...and i mean tons. It's saying I have O'd already? I ran out of OPK's...AHHHHHHH and couldn't take any today. *sigh* Also, for the past several days I've had INSANELY sore nipples....so bad I can't even let them touch my shirts!! Thank god for bras..but when I press on them accidentally...OUCH! It almost seems like ovulation signs are amplified by 100 for me right now yet I have NO idea when I actually O'd. Any thoughts??

I just wish I KNEW when I O'd. Because we only BD'd once and we either really really missed it, or got it right on target!! *sigh*

Tara, thank you! My DD is December 17. I am so, so glad I charted this time (didn't with DS) b/c I have been Oing late and I know my DD would be way off going off O day 14 and 28 day cycle (mine have been 32-33 last couple months!). I am a little crampy right now, and gassy but generally feeling well...got sick tonight and I know DH thought I was nuts being all happy about it

I'm glad to see you back, obviously not the circumstances, but so glad to see you here again and glad you are trying. So, I'm going to be a jerk and send you ALL my baby dust for the next couple months . I suck at chart interpretation, but I have heard that sometimes you are super fertile after a m/c. your stay here is short!!!

My symptoms include, Feeling "bloated" where most of my pants are getting too tight, weird cravings, sore boobies, unnaturally tired.

Monday Check-In:
Name: Katiedidder
Date: 4/5/10
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/28382e
Where are you in your cycle: CD33, 16DPO (assuming my O date is correct)
Appointments: Not until april 16th, when I have both an MD appointment to follow up on bloodwork and my next acupuncture appointment.
Symptoms if they apply: Spotting
Testing: Lots of BFNs.
Thoughts: I'm not sure what's up this cycle. I've been really bad about taking Maca and I've had a lot of spotting throughout my entire LP (I have a feeling those two things are related). I'm not really sure I O'd when I thought I did (CD17), because if i did, this is now my longest LP by a couple of days. If CD 17 wasn't right for an O date, then the 7DPO progesterone test I had done would be incorrect, which could explain why it was low (8.4). Lots of maybes! One thing I'm pretty dang sure of is that I'm not pregnant, so I'd kind of like AF to get on with her self.

Monday Check-In:
Name: Melek
Date: 4/5/10
Chart: On first page, although I think I may stop temping now that I have a BFP..I got horrible sleep last night and was up peeing all the time. Temped around 4 AM and got 98.8, well above coverline, but dropped from yesterday, although I know it was b/c of my poor sleep and b/c I usually temp at 6:30 AM. I just don't want to freak myself out, so I may just temp through missed AF or I may just stop today
Where are you in your cycle: CD28, 10DPO
Appointments: Meeting and interviewing a home birth midwife this afternoon, which I had planned before I got my BFP!
Symptoms if they apply: I got sick last night after my work out...I think I drank too much water too fast. Occasional cramping, very gassy, peeing ALL the time, skin break out....BAD! ugh. My breast feels very heavy and my nipples are a bit sore, but not nearly as bad as they were with DS (yet).
Testing:
http://canyouseealine.com/view_home_...fm?testID=6692
http://canyouseealine.com/view_home_...fm?testID=6686

(I have 4 more FRER, so I will be peeing on those every morning for the next few days to watch them get darker 10 DPO is already much darker than 9 DPO)
Thoughts: I'm really, really super (cautiously) excited (although I have already gone a little nuts updating my siggy LOL). With DS I was much further along when I found out, and I was just way more naive in general about pregnancy and all the things that could go wrong. I have no reason to suspect that anything will (but neither do a lot of women right?), so right now I am just trying to stay positive and remember that right now, today, I am pregnant (I read that on these boards from someone and I thought it was SO very wise).

Also, so, so glad I bought OPKs ONE DAY before my O *just in case* since I was so bad about temping early on in my cycle and had so many discarded ones. Now, I know I have an accurate O day and DD!

Monday Check-in:
Where are you in your cycle: CD 21
Symptoms if they apply: HOLY HANNAH. The past three days I’ve been nauseated upon waking up. Each day worse than the next. Until proven otherwise, it’s the flu or a morning bout of low-blood sugar. Also, my gag reflex has become sensitive again. That’s how I knew I was pregnant with Emma because with Caleb I could barely brush my teeth… but until proven otherwise, it’s… because… umm… help me out here.

Congrats to all the B- Phat-Ps going around the forum!

Let’s hope your nine month flu is contagious.

Congrats MrsM!!

Name: Jasmine
Date: 4/5/10
Chart: CHART
Where are you in your cycle: CD 14
Appointments: Nope
Symptoms if they apply: None
Testing: Nope
Thoughts: Think that I am either Oing today or getting very close. Here in the next couple days anyway. Send some baby dust my way!

[jenniferadurham]

Hey all! I guess I forgot to come in here and change my status. Can you move me from March BFP to conceiving #3 please.


Monday Check-In:
Name: Jennifer
Date: April 5
Chart: N/A
Where are you in your cycle: CD 2
Appointments: chiro hopefully this week
Symptoms if they apply: Crampy real bad, headache
Testing: N/A
Thoughts: I'm hoping that we get pg this cycle. We don't have to stop TTC for anything from here on out (we didn't TTC last cycle bc we didnt want to have 2 kids in Dec) And if we don't get pg until next cycle...then I will share my birth month with the baby...that's kinda cool! And it'sll be just a week or so before mine!

[HopefulJo]

Wow, it's a good month already! It was an exciting weekend for BFPs, apparently!

Monday Check-In:
Name: Jo
Date: 4/5/10
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2b49ed
Where are you in your cycle: CD7
Appointments: nope
Symptoms if they apply: Nope
Testing: Nope
Thoughts: I expect to be O'ing next weekend, so this is BD'ing week! Conceiving this cycle would put a due date a couple days after my birthday- both DH & I have January birthdays. While I know personally how annoying it is to have a New Year's birthday (Jan 2nd), it's not bad enough that we'd take a month off from TTC! We're really, really ready to grow our family.

[bumminbeachbabe]

Jennifer, sorry to see you back so soon. I hope this stay is short.

I think I got it all updated. If there are changes that need to be made please request them in bold or even another color. It makes it a lot easier for me to find them all.

Monday Check-In:
Name: Rachel
Date: 4/5/10
Chart: n/a
Where are you in your cycle: Got a BFP on 4/1!!
Appointments: First appt. with a MW on 4/13
Symptoms if they apply: Kind of crampy and a little gassy (sorry if that's TMI). And I wake up hot every morning. I've stopped temping, but I don't need to - I know my temp is way up.
Testing: I'll probably pee on my last remaining stick at some point.
Thoughts: I hope you ladies don't mind if I hang out here for a bit longer. I'm a little hesitant to invade the pregnancy boards until I know I really belong there. I know there's a lot that can potentially go wrong this early, so I'm very cautious about my excitement. (Maybe it's a side effect of having done too much research?)

[lawmama1984]

Angela, I just saw your small type at the end of your message LOL!!! I hope our 9 month flu is contagious too!

Jennifer, I hope you stay here is very, very short.

Jasmine, catch that egg!!!

Anjuli, did you BD when you caught the EWCM? this is your month!

For anyone I forgot, I officially blame prego brain and the fact that I'm messaging from my phone, but sending positive thoughts out for everyone!

[nintendork]

Thoughts: Just ready to be pregnant.

[bumminbeachbabe]

Mrs. M, stick around as long as you like.

Melek, I tend to have at least 7 days of EWCM before I o. I just don't normally start so soon after AF ends.

Thoughts: I am pretty sure I am pregnant, I just have a feeling that I am, plus my son looked at me and pointed to my belly and said baby today so I'm not sure if that is a sign but I'll take it anyways

Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/128814
Where are you in your cycle: 3DPO
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: Very crampy yesterday and today. Don't know what's up with that...wondering if it's from my m/c or something else? Also slightly sore nipples although they were worse a few days ago!!!
Testing: Not testing at all before 13DPO. I never get early BFP's so it's not worth the stress for me!
Thoughts: Wondering if our one and only BD at the right time could have caught the egg. So nervous...

Please add me to the TWW!!
