Allright ladies I am stumped this cycle. I thought I O'd had one day of CF dry up no temp spike though, than this morning a TON of EWCM and my temp is back down. Oyyyyyyyyy, if I am not pregnant this cycle and after all this I doubt I will be than I am buying an OPK for next cycle. I guess it's more BD for me tonight
 
#55 ·
Yay p1gg1e!

I'm thinking this month isn't going to "count" so to speak...I've been sick, Dh has been sick, and dd has been cutting molars so she's nursed non-stop for almost two weeks now (and I do mean non-stop...every half hour to 45 minutes all night long, and again every half hour or so during the day. I actually enjoy going to work these days since it means I'll have 3-4 straight hours of no nursing!)

Still, you never know! Fingers crossed for all of us this month!
 
#57 ·
Blahhh. I haven't been here for a couple of days. I have been pouting...

Blood test was negative so I guess the faint lines on the test were a trick!
Feeling kind of
: and realizing how much I would like to be preggo again...

Congrats to all the success stories!

Good luck, maybe I am wrong, but cover your bases anyways

Thanks for your post. I am sure I have ovulated already - just not sure if it was day 11 or 12 - I believe that one temp is wonky as today's temp was back up again. I have never not ovulated and I have never ovulated later than day 14. I think after a couple more temps it will be clearer - either way I figure we took advantage of the possible O days
DH was reluctant on day 11 because of the 'trying for a boy' thing knowing that it is usually a day early for me to ovulate but I was able to persuade him
: I guess we'll find out in two weeks
I am hoping to hold out until Father's Day to test - wish me luck

Good morning everyone!
I see there are a few knitting, CD Mom's on here so I hope it's ok to ask a quick off topic question. I have only been CD for a few weeks and I mostly use Kushies AIO and a few fitted ones but I don't like the covers for those. I heard wool covers are good so I checked them out on Ebay not really knowing what to look for. The ones I found reminded me of sweaters my Mom used to knit for me (and I remember these as being rather breezy, but maybe that was just my Mom's knitting
) so I was wondering how would the covers hold the moisture?? Won't the clothe and bedding always be damp/wet? And what about smell?
:
Sorry for the off topic post, maybe someone could PM me and shed some light on this since I really would like to try them, thanks!!

Take care,

I don't know if I posted this in this thread or the last one but I didn't see a reply so I thought I'd try again.
Since I don't have PPAF can I still use my fertility monitor? This one has me put in my last period so that makes it knid of hard to do.
When I got it in Dec. and Jan. it was the same as my cycles before DD so could I just say that's how it is now?
 
#62 ·
Thanks for the welcome!

Congrats P1gg1e and Ruth!

Good luck Keri!

Sorry about the negative test naturegirl.

I'm gonna go try to talk dh into some bd'ing

Ellie,
Maybe your dh will change his mind about not ttc until after the move.
:

Sandy and Cheryl, I'm sorry.
for this next month!

Rozzie'sma and Keri, I hope your charts work themselves out for you soon.

I'm still trying hard not to poas. I think it is still too early. Argh, this cycle is driving me more crazy than usual!!

Hello everyone... just checking in again. I got antsy yesterday a.m. (at 11 DPO) and got a BFN, and did another one this a.m., with the same results. I am still hanging in there, and am feeling a lot of twitches in my uterus, and still mild cramping. I am also irritable as all get out, which is not so fun for my teething 25 mo, in addition to his papa leaving today for the next 3 weeks for work (with a 24 hr. visit each weekend). I was really hoping to get a positive before he left, but we will just have to wait and see. My temps are still above the coverline (98.4 -98.8), and I started taking my vaginal temps, as well, which have been 98.7 for the past 3 days. It has been really chilly in our room at night, and I feel like that affects oral temp. I wish I had been taking them vaginally all along, and will do so if this is not the cycle for us... Has anyone else had experience with vaginal temps being more accurate? That is how we charted with our son, and I am not sure why I switched. Oh well...
Sorry for all of you who have started your AF... better luck next cycle, eh?
Congratulations for those of you newly pregnant, and lots of good thoughts your way!
I am off to fill nail holes in the new windows in my art studio that we are building. I hope it evens out my nerves and makes me feel a bit more sane and humane! Have a good day, everyone, and thanks for hearing my process! Michelle

hi everyone, i'm back
i ended up going to the er when i was 6wks with bleeding and ended up having a bad bladder infection and an abnormal ultrasound (hb 103, assymetrical yolk sac)...just went to my first ob appt and my doc confirmed there wasn't a baby, she couldn't find the yolk sac, but my uterus was still thick and enlarged...she said i should be getting my period this week, but that she is perplexed about my ultrasound...they did hcg levels and i peed in a cup for em and everything was negative...soooooo....i guess i'm back to waiting to try (she did say there was a SLIGHT chance that i could already be preggers again since i never knew i had m/c'd and the uterus was soo odd) but i guess go ahead and put me on the waiting to o list
 
#68 ·
raversangel!! Hopefully you ARE pregger like your doc said you might be!! Here's hoping!

I tell you ladies - every day I remind myself of all the benefits to not being pregger right now: fit my clothes, energy, ds gets all the love for now...but all it takes is one look at a pregger woman to melt my heart and make me want that next baby so badly!
Well here's hoping for all of us to have that miraculous experience again!!

Sorry to hear this pjs...I can relate (not first pp egg, but the mc and the Christmas time baby).

Well, my body continues to play games...AF started this afternoon 6 days early. On top of a cold, total sleep dep from non-stop nursing and an unhappy teething nursling, and the general life stress I'm juggling right now (my dad is suicidal, my brother in the army was hit by a bomb and is having daily surgeries, my husband just started a job which is good stress, but still stress cause he's no longer a SAHD and we need to arrange child care for dd, etc).....argh!

I'm going to go eat a bowl of ice cream, chow down a few chips, and call it a month. Fingers crossed for all the mamas in the 2ww though...sticky sticky baby dust!

I'm back. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, but I'm only just now ready to actually post.

To recap: We got pg with dd first month off the pill. We had a mc at 6 weeks in September (they never saw a sac on u/s and my prog was very low). Two weeks later I hurt my back. It was a herniated disk. With lots of physical therapy and chiropractic care, I avoided surgery and we got pg again in March. My hormone numbers were good, we saw a hb at 6 weeks, and I was having symptoms, but at our 10 week check the sac was the right size, but there was no hb and baby was 6 week size.

It's been a bad year.

I know in my head that bfing doesn't cause mc. But I am still insecure about it. I have PCOS and a bicornate/septated uterus, plus it could be just bad luck. It just stinks.

It tooks months for my cycle to return to normal last time, so who knows what will happen this time around. I'm not really emotionally ready to actively ttc, but we'll just see what happens.

kristen- I am sorry for your loss


raversangel- I am holding o0ut hope for you!
__________________________________________________ ________

Well my temps are super high for me, I am trying hard not to get excited as it was such a wonky cycle and I am only 7 DPO I just hope the b6 is helping lengthen my luteal phase, if I can add a day to get to a 12 day luteal phase i will be happy, of course a
would be even better

CD7 here...so I am just
until O time. I am still waiting on my FM, so I guess I'll have to do things the old way until it gets here (it won't be as accurate I'm guessing because I will be starting it about 5 days late
).

I'm sorry Ravers and all of the rest joinign us again too soon

Yesterday afternoon, I was driving home from my mom's talking to my husband on the phone about our evening plans, when something struck me. Here's the basic gyst of the conversation.

"Okay, meet me downstairs so you can just jump in the car and we can head over to the farm" (fruit, veggie and meat shopping.
) "and then let's stop and get something to eat because I am STARVING. I've been starving all day! I can't believe how much I ate today and I am STILL hungry! I don't think I've ever been this hungry in my life. Except for when I was first pregnant with Joey....."

Um. Oh.
