First time TTC; going crazy!

View Full Post

Hello all, I have found this site while going crazy during this two week wait. I am inexperienced with symptoms and waiting and what to expect...I would appreciate anyone's advice...

My LMP was 2/11, I'm sure I ovulated between 2/25-2/27...I began with breast heaviness & soreness on 2/28 which is unusual for me to start with that early before AF. And it as continued - still sore boobs/swollen. I have noticed I've been a little more tired; requiring a nap the other day and going to bed earlier. And finally, on 9 or 10 DPO, (yesterday) I started with some dull lower abd cramping/pressure on & off all day... I have tested the last couple days because I am so impatient!!!! And obviously BFN... I know it is too early... Does it sound like I may have a chance?? Maybe I'm making up these symptoms?? AF is due 3/11... and I'm thankful for working 12 hour shifts the next couple days to distract myself! Please advise!!!

hello ladies, on CD6 here and Af finally said bye bye yesterday. Abennett, i also use preseed and concieve plus, although i have EWCM, i think it totally helps to use those for lube, as there can be many bds and it makes things smoother hehehe. i also take Omega 3, in addition to my prenatals as i eat fish like only once a week and i need all the calcium and vit D i can get as theres lil sun here in the winter. i put my dp too on vitamins for him, although he NEVER remembers to take them, then softcups. i guess every cycle i add something new and now its acupuncture and ive had 2 treatments so far and i love it cos its so relaxing.

@Ashley yellow cm at 6dpo is a good sign dear, lets pray its implantation, good u arent symptomtracking, but i bet it aint easy hehehe. i had to remind myself not to either, but who was i kidding. i read ur journal yesterday, hope u got over the disrespect. Fingerscrossed for u dear.

This cycle i hope the metformin will shorten my cycle. after bc, cycle became 34-35 days from a perfect 28, last cycle i believe the metformin lengthened it to 64 days to to repair things and i cant wait to see if it will reduce to 29-31 days or something. i need all the days i can get , although i pray this is the cycle , we are so ready for our january bundle.

Baby Dustttttttttt!!!!!!!

Hey guys!! Just checking in. I haven't been on the site in a while bc I'm trying to keep very mellow and stress free this month. Today is cd 13 for me. I will probably ovulate on cd 17 or 18. We will be on a family vacation at the beach during this time so it will a harder to get some privacy. Gonna have to be more creative this month I guess! Haha. Well I hope everyone is good so far! Keep the updates coming :)

Hi!!!! Sorry it's been a while! I'm so happy to hear that you feel good about this cycle Reneee! Hope you get you're BFP!! I'm currently on CD 34. AF flow usually comes around CD 32. Im not getting my hopes up though. I took a hpt yesterday and I'm pretty sure it was a bfn. So I guess I'm just waiting around for AF to show. I didn't use or do anything this month either bc of my vacation. So I'm not positive when I O'd. Will let you know what happens. Good luck!!!

Hey ladies! Just checking in...

I'm currently on CD23/8DPO and had light reddish/brownish spotting since yesterday. I'm hoping it is implantation bleeding! I have bled in other cycles, but not at the correct time for it to be IB. Right now, I am textbook perfect for this to be IB. However, I don't have any other symptoms.

And, although this isn't scientific, I had a baby dream! I was holding my baby girl and she was the most adorable baby I have ever seen. She was an infant already, but she was definitely mine. According to a girl I talked to on a private FB group, she had a very similar dream about a boy and had a girl.

I originally wanted a boy first, but after seeing that baby in my dream, I kinda want a girl now! Obviously either one would be perfect, just want a healthy, happy baby. GL ladies! Hope to see more BFPs soon! I can test in 4 days but will be on vacation and don't want to test while away. I'm hoping I will just miss my period! :)

Update here too, am CD36 and 10 dpo. BFN on an internet cheapie today but am very relaxed, i am very surprised myself by my reaction but i love the way i am handling it, i am praying its our month , cos i plan to call my GP when AF comes and am pulling dp along for an appointment. we need to be referred to a specialist to start testings. it will be 10 months , but we have agreed to say 1 yr hehehehehehe.
i had a lot of symptoms 3-5 DPO, poking pains, cramping, sharpend smells, imagine smelling everything on vacation no one else can hehehehehe. earlier today i went from room to room cos i was smelling something was burning like an electric appliance. my first vivid dream at like 4dpo was tragic, i killed someone with my car and second is today and i was pregnant.yesterday i was so bloated, after seeing the acupuncturist, she had to alleviate my nausea after treatment when i started burping. no IB HERE.
i aint reading too much into things cos all symptoms are gone now, and i feel well today pluss my cervix is acting like afs on the way, its opening. for the sanity of our relationship, i have worked everyday this week, cos i hate the highs and lows of ttc.

@Abbennett, i pray af hasnt arrived and ur dream comes true
@ASHLEY, hope its IB, Its looking good for u dear, hope something good happens and enjoy ur vacation. Baby dust to every1

Ashleylauren and Reneee....so have y'all tested lately?? It should be getting about that time! Keeping my fingers crossed for y'all! AF arrived a few days ago and she was 3 days late so she played a cruel joke on me :(
I am now on CD 4 and this will be my 6th cycle of ttc. Going to play it by the book this time. Gonna use opk's, soft cups, and time everything right! It's time to get serious!! Ugh!! It can be very frustrating sometimes! Ready for this cycle to speed up! :) can't wait to hear if y'all are getting bfp's!
