Trying to Conceive after Loss or Miscarriage ~ June 08 #2

[~ Mylitta ~]

Vanaithi - I still have my fingers crossed for you. I didn't notice any change in my sleep until I got to about 5 weeks pregnant, and then I got insomnia. I would have trouble falling alseep, then wake up through the night and have trouble falling asleep again. Oh, and I keep waking earlier in the morning than usual (which is odd for me because I love my morning sleep time).
Don't lose to much hope because of the cramps. When I was pregnant I had a sensation down in my uterus similar to what I feel when I am about to get AF, except I felt it the entire time I was pregnant. Apparently that's pretty normal (uterus expanding and all that...).
Fingers crossed your temp dip was implantation!

pbstar...I'd love to be cycle buddies! Looks like several of us are real close! My usual cycle is 26 days...

WTH...AF hasn't been a pleasant guest this time around either...I don't normally feel her presence and barely see her...she and I are having issues this time...LOL

I hope you get that temp shift you're looking for!!!

mollycat...I'd love to send the witch packing for about 9 months...*wink* wouldn't we all...

Krystie...DVD it is for me next week! I plan to BD every day...several times...in every room...Lee won't know how to act...he'll be wondering "what did I do so I can do it again real soon"...LOL

I really wanted to be pg by July 25th...baby's due date...I actually had been dealing pretty well up to now...it's just getting so close and it seems I see very pg ladies everywhere I go.

Hey gurlies!!! Hope everyone is doing great!

*wavin* Jen!!!

Smilanatu - i know exactly how you feel I would have loved to be pg by now too, my baby's due date was 28th June, i've been fine until the last few days when it's getting harder
Bettyboop - yay for O - hope you caught the egg - it all seems to be looking good for you
Canary - good to see you pop in

Hello to all our friends - I hope each and every one of you is getting "fatter" by the day.

to our TTC friends -

I won't name you, cause I might miss out on somebody and I'd hate to do that.

AFM - AF seems to have left, maybe I should lock the door so she can't come back, actually she was really kind this month, the headaches weren't as bad, and she was quite light which is most unusual, i'm almost halfway through the tamoxifen and so far that it treating me well too. Feeling a little bit off, and only slight headaches instead of migraines that's how it stays.

Woo hoo! First time all day I've been able to post, and it's almost 3:00 pm! At smilanatu's request I'm going to have to add this to the addicted list, because I can't tell you how thrown off I've been all day without my BB fix! I woke up at 6 am and wasn't even able to log on, finally hours later was able to log on and read the few posts that managed to sneak through, but was unable to respond to any of them. Couldn't even see the smilies! What a horrible way to start the day! DF just got off early, he's pulling up, I'll have to post persies later. Just wanted to say Yay, I got on! Also had temp drop this am, and cramping/twinges last night on left side--praying it's implantation!!! Have been searching for spotting all day, but none so far! Oh please, be implantation!! BBL

Hi Girls

While on the 2WW I have been swatting up on things that may help implantation. I will probably post this on the 2WW thread as well, but seeing as we all have the same goal, thought I might start a list of things here. BTW the sources for these ideas come from all over the shop, so you may take some with a grain of salt:

1. Take Vitamin B6
2. Eat walnuts
3. Have pinapple core - chop into pieces or make juice. Great for DH sperm, too.
4. Limit exercise - keep your body core temperature low - don't overheat
5. Avoid orgasms during days of implantation. The "vibrations" can make the fertilised egg change direction and it may prevent it's burrowing in nice and deep into the womb. BD is fine - just no "O" - lucky DH!

Some facts about implantation:

1. Window is 6-12 days, but (according to some studies) more than 80% of the time it happens at 8-10 days.
2. Implantation bleeding happens to only 20 to 30% of women
3. Two excellent links about implantation and testing are:

I hope it is ok to put useful links on here. If they do not work when you click on them, cut and paste them into the address line on the top of your internet page

If anyone knows of anything else which may help, please feel free to add to this list.
Good luck everyone!
