Blushing: Not sure what you were asking about sister (your question had some weird characters).

My sister is having a boy as I stated earlier and it's what she wanted so I'm sure she's excited. His name will be Jace Michael.

My sis-in-law does not know what she is having yet. She finally went from the ewwww - yuck food stage to ohhhhhhh - good food stage. I'll be glad when they finally find out the gender.

I have an appointment with my gynecologist on Monday for regular yearly check up including pap. Yay---not!!! Since I'm 3dpo today I know that when I go Monday it will be way too early to tell if I'm pregnant this cycle or not.

I haven't slept well the past few days but I've been napping during the day while DH is at work and kids are at school. Mostly nap from 9-12. Today I've felt bloated, headache, backache, dizzy periodically, and have strong smelling urine (wondering if that's from the cereal I ate at lunch). I'm just so tired but think that it's from not getting adequate sleep at night. I can lie down at 10:30 and not fall asleep until 2 or 3. I don't drink caffeine or eat after 8 so I'm wondering why I can't sleep.

I've also been really agitated the past few days......losing my cool very easily. The smallest thing makes me mad. Oh and periodically my boobs feel like they are on fire (just for a few minutes and not at the same time).

I don't want to read into these symptoms and expect a BFP since I did that in July and November and got BFN.

Rebecca it is cool to know that you are also using the cbfm. I will let you all know if I get my bfp. I am crossing my fingers but of course I have the usual doubts. And yes it is exhausting to worry about every little symptom because they are too much alike.

Hello ladies!
Hope its ok to join convo? My husband and I have been ttc #2 since sept 2012. I stopped taking bc in sept. I am 24 and my hubs is 28. I had my son almost three years ago.
I ovulated Jan 4th. My hubs and I did the deed that day. I'm 5dpo and have had "symptoms" ever since. I was cramping and felt a warm pressure feeling immediately afterwardss. Since then I have felt period like cramps, twinges, sore nipples, lower back pain, bloating and increased urination. I'm hoping these are promising signs!
I'm going to take a test tuesday (10dpo) then again Saturday (14dpo). AF is expected Jan 18th. Hoping and praying that she doesn't show her ugly face! My due date would be sept 27th 2014 . Our 4 year anniversary is sept 25th so this would bean amazing anniversary gift!
Good luck to you all!

Braidens mommy- hello it is really cool that you ov'd January 5th. I ov'd January 4th. Keep us posted with your test results hopefully you get your bfp

Angela: Like you said, still early, for a !

gds: Is it Jace after Jace from Mortal Instruments?
I also have trouble sleeping this whole week, it's so hard. I hope tonight will be better for us. And am also on edge all the time, maybe its the moon .
I hope your Monday appt. goes well.

Braiden's: Welcome and . Symptoms do sound very promising .

AFM: Got my progesterone levels back, been looking online to see if it is good, but can't tell. It is 26, and todays is either 7 or 9DPO, is 26 good???
I don't feel like there is an issue this time because I did not spot yet like in previous cycles.

I still have a week before AF should start so I didnt expect a bfp just tested for shits & giggles lol really hoping my intuition is working this time though!

gds - wow, your poor hubby! hoping you guys are able to BD when needed! and KMFX'd for you this cycle!

cotton - GL waiting until test time! baby dust!!

aclark - baby dust!!! hope you have a BFP!!!

GB1020 - hopefully we don't have the endometriosis, but if we have the mild cases it is possible to conceive. my doc said the first baby is the harder one, but after that it almost 'treats' the endometriosis and the next babies are easier to conceive. hope you don't need a laparoscopy! hope you get a BFP next week! sorry about the BFN today, but of course plenty of time!

spartie - hope you guys don't need to see a doc, but it is comforting to see one if needed.

rebecca - thanks, and hope you get a BFP next week!!!

blushing - glad your laparoscopy looked good, i'm assuming no endometriosis was seen? that'd be great!! nope, ran no PCOS bloodwork. what are the panels out there? i think she thinks she can't prove it, it's kinda a gut feeling, especially seeing history of type II diabetes in my family. no one has endometriosis or PCOS in my family though, at least diagnosed. glad your tubes are clear too! it's such a great feeling!!!

angela - sorry about the BFN, plenty of time yet though!!

braiden's - hope you get your anniversary present!! ;)

koti - lol, when gds said jace i also thought, hmm, from mortal instruments? lol! ;)

AFM CD12. hopefully will ovulate in 2-3 days. opk testing in the evening this cycle to see if it helps me stress less. body has already been telling me to BD so we're working on it ;) GL ladies!

Its getting quite busy in here, hard to keep up with everyone.

GB- Ahh that's a early test hun, don't let it drag you down, we are all guilty for testing early and then getting a little gutted. I need to test again too because I think that last one was a little early :-S

Kotikd- Almost holiday time! I bet you are so excited! I would do anything to go on holiday again some time soon but even our little £9.50 sun holiday break has had to be pushed aside with all this moving stuff being forced upon us. Thank you for the kind encouragement about trying to stay positive and finding somewhere new soon, we have a viewing today for a 1 bed flat, and hopefully a 1 bed house (not that I want to be in a 1 bed much longer!!!!)
the no sleeping thing is driving me crazy too, sleep on my left side and I have a throbbing ear and achy boobs. Go on my right and my hips ache. NO win!!!

Blushing & Rebecca Thank you I need all the luck and hope about finding a new place soon, its nice to know people care.

I am now CD28 and 14 DPO (I think) Ive never gone past 28 days in my cycle however irregular they are (not counting the 18 months I just didn't have cycles and bled the whole time -.-) Im wondering if that HPT I took on Wednesday was a little early? I got a Tesco HPT in the bathroom, I should have done it this morning, might do it tomorrow morning. Im a little worried now... It might be stress or the little illness that hasn't fully cleared up since after Christmas that's causing lateness/ symptoms. On the only month we got that BD'ing in the right place too, typical!!

Well, AF arrived this morning just before I could POAS and it's such a bummer. My cycle used to be 30 days exactly and now the last time it was 35 days and now it was 37. So confused and frustrated.

Still holding out hope for all of you lovely ladies! Hope to see none of you on the October board. :)
