Alice - Thanks for the advice. I'm going to wait it out a little bit longer because, well, I want to give it a shot on my own first. I found a fair bit of information on the net saying that backache is common when coming off the pill. The last time I went off it (when I broke up with my ex bf) was a long time ago now, years.... so I can't remember what it was like. If things aren't good in the next couple of months, I'll definitely be off to the doctor. And I agree with T-hopes, you do seem happier. Good for you!
Reet- Happy birthday! It's my sister's birthday today so I'll always remember yours. Lucky you, lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes crazy googling, and it's also nice to hear you self helped yourself the same way I did. We have a lot in common! I think I will keep my OPK secret a bit longer, I don't want to scare him with all the technical jazz just yet. Afterall it's only our first month actively trying, and I kind of like that this part is just for me to enjoy. If he asks me how I know it's 'time' to DTD, then I'll have to fess up. But that's okay, because he asked! haha.... About the cramping, it's still there on and off, but nowhere near as bad as yesterday. I'm either having pill withdrawals, or getting ready to O. I had some crap backpain today at work, which was no fun, but all of a sudden it was gone again. For now I'm just keeping an eye on it. Oh, and I'm cd 11 today. Time to start using my OPKs tomorrow! Eeep! I'm actually a little bit nervous about it all. And TMI warning here, but I think EWCM is just around the corner because I felt a little... ahh..... not dry down there. lol, I did my best to keep it polite sounding! This also might sound crazy, but busted out my little book of answers today, just for fun. It's called an oracle book and you ask it a question (yes/no) and turn to a random page for the answer. I asked 3 times if I will get pregnant this month, and each time I got a yes anwer. One in particular said yes, 'if I get to work right away'. lol... good, because I was thinking tonight might be a good night for lingerie and school night sex. *cheeky grin* Hope you had a wonderful birthday, and I hope DH spoiled you!! When are you testing? When are you testing?!!!!! lol
Possum - I couldn't leave without wishing you a happy birthday, also Possum. I hope you had a lovely day.
Kit - Can't wait to hear about your scan tomorrow. Keep your spirits high!
AFM, nothing exciting happening except for starting OPKs tomorrow. Exciting!
Well hasnt this thread quietened down a bit! A couple weeks ago u wldnt look at it for a few hrs and come back and wld have to go thru 5 pages! Maybe everyone is busy bd'ing??? And im the only lonely one with no dh at home.. haha nah hes back tomoro arvo so u probly wont see much of me for a few days.. i will still have to sneak a peak everyday and see how everyone is going tho
Thanku guys for the bday wishes!! i had an alright day, nothing overly exciting but nice dinner tonite, and forshelby, once again thanks for rubbing it in that dh isnt here with me! ..saying u hope he spoilt me today, thanks!! haha well i guess he cld have sent me flowers or something, but he is in the middle of the bush- probly without a phonebook to find a florist, so hes let off the hook, he'll hopefully make up for it on the weekend
Kit- Yes make sure u let us know how ur scan goes tomoro! I hope ur excited and not so much nervous to see ur little tigers heartbeat again!
TtcaLoveChild- I forgot to write back to u the other day, im on facebook! Welcome to Facebook | Facebook Sorry to hear u had a migraine, u poor thing especially since u wld have been having to run around after 5 kids all day. Are u trying to rest a little??
Forshelby- Yeah man i think without the internet I wld have gone crazy after m/c, i googled and found out so much stuff.. cant really remember what stuff now but it made me feel better at the time.. and thats the main thing! Im still finding out info all the time.. like that ur progesterone levels are very important when falling pg, if they drop right down theres a big chance u will m/c.. theres all this stuff that i had no idea about before i fell pg, so sometimes i think i am a LITTLE grateful i have been thru a m/c cos im not so nieve anymore and i know i will be a lot more wiser and compassionate to others that go thru the same thing, i do really wish it had been all smooth sailing for me instead tho, that wld have been a lot easier!
Yay for using opks tomoro!! And yay for ewcm!!! Ur so so lucky ur body is doing the right thing! Im so jealous! I so wanted to get ewcm last week but instead i got bleeding..great! its like my body just wants to keep coming up with new little tricks and suprises..like it doesn’t want me to ever understand it or know whats happening or going to happen next!
I hope ur aches and pains go away soon.. hopefully it all does have to do with going off the pill and ‘o’ cramps.
And yes it sounds like u shld be busting out that lingerie tonight, especially since ‘u have to get to it right away!’ I think ive worn sexy lingerie maybe twice since we got married in September haha, poor dh, ive gotta be pretty drunk to be able to do it! And there wont be any of that going on now for hopefully the next 2 yrs or so, so he’ll be missing out for a while longer! Haha.
Well AFM.. i was going to wait til tomoro to mention anything..but.. i may as well tell u all where im at now! Before going to bed lastnite i was looking on my dressing table for something and a pg test jumped out at me! I didn’t think i had any left! So i took it as a hint that it wanted to be peed on and did it this morning.. I didn’t have much hope since its still 6 days before af is due so thought it was definitely going to be way too early to detect anything.. so I left it for about 10 mins and went back and quickly checked it before running out the door to work and guess what! I cld see a faint faint faint line!!! It was so faint u cld hardly see it, but its definitely given me a bit of hope that this is my month! I went out and bought another 3 pack of the 1st response tests so im going to go a bit crazy in the next few days and test each morning and hope that theres a line and it keeps getting darker and darker as the days go on. Im going to be so scared tomoro doing it incase nothing appears. But I am thinking positively about it though. Like forshelbys story.. yesterday my friend gave me a crystal that i cld ask questions too..it spins in a circle if the answer is no, and back and forth if the answer is yes.. its different for everyone tho.U just place ur hand underneath it and it uses the energy from it. I have asked it about 5 times if I am pg and it keeps saying yes and that im having a boy!! I have gotten 4 other ppl to try it and it has given them all the same answers as mine. Its pretty freaky. U really cant believe it til ur doing it urself. I tried tricking it and then asking it questions i already knew the answer too and it got each and every one of my questions spot on! It really is bizarre. I love it! U shld have seen my dads surprise when he was using it and realising that it wasn’t me that had been making it move.. he is the biggest sceptic around!..not anymore tho! He was honestly so shocked! So yes anyway my crystal has given me a bit of hope too! I will keep u all posted with what happens in the next few days.. pls don’t get excited for me just yet though, save it for when i know its a definite!
I hope everyone is doing well. Thinking of u all!! xxx
Ok so i think i jumped the gun last nite in telling u all.. this morning- no line, not even after an hour.. so not sure what was up with yesterdays test, cos the FAINT line came up within 10 mins. Oh well all good.. i am only just 8DPO, so i think it is just way too early to know anything. Im not going to test anymore until day before af is due. I better hold off or i will send myself absolutely INSANE!!!!! x
Reet: Oh no! I was so hoping for a BFP announcement! 8 DPO is super early babe, a bubba could be starting to dig in now though. I hope you have a wonderful ''birthday'' weekend!
Forshelby: LMAO hope you had fun breaking out the lingerie! I always found that it was taken off too quickly to be appreciated, I ran across the room to put it back on once, that tiny flimsy material can cost a bomb sometimes so I wanted it to be appreciated! Lets hope there's a lil spermie and eggie getting very close, lol.
AFM: I feel like crap, which is AWESOME! I never felt this nauseous with Splat, so I feel more confident. DH thinks Tiger doesn't like cows, cos a cadbury ad came on and they did a close up of the cow's snotty nose and I gagged for 5 minutes. Nice. Scan at 4pm. Deep breaths.
Love to everyone..
Murraycod: hows the cramping going? how are you feeling?
Alice: I'm so looking for chocolate chai tea this weekend!
kit - good luck this afternoon! Keep us posted on little Tiger!
reet - def too early love! so hard to hold off testing huh! sends us insane!!
afm - well i have the mother of all UTI's! I havent had one since primary school and it was nothing like this! woke up in the early hrs of thurs morn in so much pain, thought i had thrush... until i pee'd! oh my lord!! Ive been pee'ing full blood for 24 hrs and feel like ive been hit by a bus, feels like the full on flu - aches all over, chills with a temp of 38degrees.... went to the docs and im on antibiotics so hopefully they stop the bleeding! Looks like AF has arrived everytime i wee, also feels like i im weeing out razor blaeds, cry everytime i go I guess im out this month already, no hope of a little emby surviving such a nasty infection huh? awww... poor widdle me
hi everyone, kitfaerie-best wishes for your scan...reet-i agree with other girls,too early...t-hopes-are you able to take ural,i found it really helped with stinging wee...to the new girls-welcome to the thread,hope your stay is short,sorry for your losses....thinking of you all...afm-still sick with this flu,still waiting for af to show,spoke to ivf nurse today said i could have a 6-7 week cycle waiting for my ovaries to recover...
Kit so sorry you had a real scare this week my FX you get a super scan today and relax a bit more and yay for feeling ill I always feel really ill with msickness and tiredness when its a good pregnancy so feeling ill is good hormones are getting stronger ! Let us know how your scan goes today !
T-hopes sorry you got a bad inf I had a really bad case of thrush last week and is now in my kidneys but not as bad as you luckily for me lots of water and cranberry juice seem to be working ! Hope you feel better soon and you could still be in with a chance you know don't give up !
Reet too early to test I know a few girls on here that got BFN until the day AF was due but they are now in the other thread with BFPs so don't give up !
Mattewsmum hi sorry your still suffering with the flu hope AF is not too far away !
AFM well the days keep going by and no real signs do get the odd wave of nausea but with the thrush outbreak later on last week and now the kidneys giving me jip I guesss its that and the meds I took, Had really bad low backache today and last night and feel like AF is on the way so I think IM out again ! Oh well I think I will have to be IN TUNE FOR JUNE instead !!!!
Bit sad really as last June I did get a BFP and feels like a bad omen that I am trying again the same month a year later after a mc !
crafty - love the slogan - In Tune for June!' dont feel that im going to be Yay for May either! I too fell pregnant JUne 09, cant believe we are just weeks away from that anniversary, its tuff huh im praying for you crafty, that this is your month... looking back on my last pregnancy - the only symptom i had was a positive test at 12dpo! THats it! I didnt have all these symptoms that i long for every month! only what mattered, a BFP! YOur still in this love, dont give up! xx
matthewsmum - sorry your sick! its going around! 6-7wk cycle, how far into that are you?? are you doing ivf again next cycle? sorry if youve already spoken about this, im behind in everything!!
afm - doc just called to tell me I def o'ed this month! yay! FF says that im 5DPO. Makes me feel a lot happier, progesterone was 31 so happy with that! Doc told me if no period by next saturday then im to do a blood test as at this stage im scheduled for lap, D&c etc on the 31st and obviously have to be sure b4 i have that done! Praying that i dont need it and we get a sneaky bfp... always hopeful xx
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Murraycod - how are things with you gorgeous woman?
craftymummy-you should of been a poet,still got fingers crossed for you,it's tricky when af symptoms/earlypreg symptoms are so similiar...t-hopes-i'm on day36,need to wait for af ,then ivf clinic will start monitoring my cycle for frozen embryo transfer.Hope the anti-biotics are helping you...ric-lovely to hear some good news,congratulations!!!!ionamacca-how are you?...murraycod-thinking of you
Lets hope we don't have to" CRY IN JULY " as we all still in here waiting a BFP
I have to own up I think it was Alice that said IN tune for June ! but I like it !
Will keep me busy the rest of my TWW thinking of all the new rhyms I gotta think of every month we stuck in here .
T-hopes I remember now we were about the same weren't we mc around 12wks and due in March, what a sad year we have been through this time last year I had no idea what was instore good job really as we wouldn't have wanted to play the game !
Matthews mum hope its not too much longer until AF arrives you can have her instead of me OK !
No good. Heartbeat too slow at 80 bpm, and tiger measuring 5 weeks 3 days when it should be around 6 weeks. Tech said he could still see the bleed too. Basically, I think I'm waiting this one out, then getting lots of testing done. So sad.
Reet - Dang it, I did it again! So, no prezzies from DH even though he was away? No excuse. Tell him he knew all year when your bday was... he could've hidden a present somewhere for the big day, lol. I hope he spoils you EXTRA rotten over the weekend. And OMG about the faint line! That's pretty exciting. Even though there was none on the second test, don't lose hope. It is still reeeeally early. Keep your spirits up, ok? It's still yay for May for now!
Kit - I laughed so hard about your lingerie comment. Sometimes I try to stall so it stays on longer. LOL. And I hope I have an eggie and spermie getting very close soon, too! I'm also really glad you feel like crap, lol. That's a great sign. I had a good chuckle about the cadbury cow, too. You're probably at your scan right now so I'll check in later to see how you went. I have everything crossed for you.....
T-Hopes - Sorry about the UTI. They can really be a *****! I remember I had to make a trip to the emergency room the night before 'moving day' about a year ago. It was HORRIBLE. I felt so guilty because we needed to get to bed, but instead spent half the night waiting to be seen while I peed blood every few minutes. Uuughh. Oh yes, and then they wanted to do a pregnancy test. What the fudge? lol. I refused, as I was still really tied up in knots about the mc at that stage. Last thing I wanted was to see a BFN even though I knew it would be negative. I still think you could be in with a chance this month, especially if you definitely O'ed. It would be nice if you could sneak in a BFP before all those tests. Best of luck!
Matthew's Mum - I'm sorry about the long cycle. 4 weeks is long enough, let alone 6-7 weeks. I hope something miraculous happens and your body decides to be kinder to you than that.
Craftymummy - Your backache might not neccesarily mean AF is on her way. I remember having a bad backache before I got a BFP all those many months ago. I was so sure AF was coming. Until the boobies got sore. I hope you get your yay for May, it would definitely be hard to be TTC in June after getting your BFP in June last time. Hugs to you. I enjoyed the 'cry in July reference, too'. But what the heck rhymes with August and September, eh? Not much. Let's hope we don't have to worry about it because we're ALL out of here. hehehe
AFM, I had a very exciting day today. Well, it didn't start out that way, but I'll start at the beginning instead. I did manage to sneak in a bit of school night sex, without even busting out the lingerie! DP was apologizing because he gave me the old 'two minute noodle' (LMAO) but I didn't mind in the least. It was my fault for being such a vixen. lol...... Anyway, I got up a bit earlier this morning to use my first OPK (yay!) and was disappointed to see a reeeeally faint line. Almost non existant. I thought 'oh great, I probably won't O at all this month'. Suddenly, I have EWCM! I think it's EW, anyway. It's been a long time since I experienced it, being on bcp and all. I think the reason I'm finding it so difficult to tell is because of the bd last night. I am leaning towards thinking it is, though, because it's stretchy. Apparently 'fallout' (lol again) isn't stretchy at all? It's been getting stretchier and stretchier all day. Oh, and more and more, too. Not to mention the randiness. Hehehe.... I really hope O is on its way!
So that leads me to my question. Is it really EWCM? Is it possible to have it hours after a negative OPK? Aren't the two meant to co-incide? Or is it just because it's only just starting to become EW? TMI alert here, but I have to ah.. 'search' for it. Back in the good old days it was erm, kind of obvious as it was... well, escaping on its own. LOL. However, when I do 'search' for it... It's there. Bigtime. It seems to be just starting, which would explain the neg. OPK. So does this mean I'll have a pos. in a day or two's time? I'm so tempted to use another OPK, but I don't want to waste it. So tomorrow morning I will do another one. Hoping that line gets darker, and things get stickier! LOL. I'm giggling like a schoolgirl writing this. Very excited that my body might actually be behaving itself and doing what it should straight after bcp! Could I be that lucky? I sure hope so. I will say one thing though. My CM is most DEFINITELY more obvious since stopping the pill. To me, this has to be a good sign.
TIA for your wise opinions, ladies. I'm sure you guys all know a lot more than I do about EWCM. And sorry for the long me-ness at the end of this post. I'm just so curious/excited/randy. LMAO.
Just dropping in quickly, need to get back to finishing packing food and car as we are off to port macquarie tomorrow!! Yay holidays!!
Kit - my sweety, thinking of you, so sorry to hear that the HB has dropped!! My thoughts are with you chook sending you heaps of hugs xoxoxo
AFM: AF has left the building, yay so good especially since we're going on holidays....bring on the bding bonanza!!
Will drop in later girls if I finish everything before I go to bed, if not will be taking laptop with me so will be able to keep an eye on all you lovely ladies
Kit - We must have cross posted. I am so so so so sorry. Is there no hope at all? Oh gosh, I'm so angry at the universe if it's doing this to you again. Did they tell you to just wait it out? I could just cry right now. Are you ok? I'm so sorry for my happy post now, I feel like a jerkface for feeling excited while your heart was breaking. Did they do anymore bloods, etc?
Arrrghhh, I'm so frustrated for you. What an awful rollercoaster. We're all here for you, and I still have everything crossed. I'm hoping for a miracle for you, here. Come on, Tiger.... hang in there little one.
oh kit - i dont know what to say, my heart has broken for you both are they doing any bloods or did they really just tell you to wait it out? Is there any hope if the little heart is still beating?? your in my prayers darlin, we are all here for you and we will get you through this xx
Kit- I really hope miraculous things will happen for you. A friend of mine had a low heart beat scan and she's now 26 weeks, and she has had lots of bleeds too. FX all will be well.
Bec
