Not Just Cycle Buddies!
Hi Friends! Lots of us have gotten our BFPs these past few cycles and we all aren't "cycle buddies" anymore. I feel like we need a place to connect and keep up the conversation with each other. This way we can keep chatting even if some of us aren't pregnant and some of us are. I'm just starting my 6th cycle TTC and hoping that this will be the one. Please join in and update us on where you are and how you are feeling.

Got back from the health nurse who reassured me that it is normal as with the second pregnancy everything happens quicker, so with that the uterus expands quicker and may cause cramping. The brown discharge is old blood and that too is normal. Now I need to get my brain to get passed this as everything is normal and I will call the doctor soon to see if they have my results from yesterday. I never thought that being pregnant the second time would be like this.

@ Dragonfly23 - I'm so glad the health nurse was able to reassure you. Everything she is saying sounds correct. At the end the baby will come faster too as your body has already done it once so that's a plus! It's understandable that differences in your pregnancies would put you edge. I hope you find something to relax you more today and you sleep better tonight.
I'm doing good. CD 5 and waiting to take OPKs was going to pick up some EPO and try that out this cycle as well. If we remember we might us the preseed a few times too.

@Kelliria. I think you can still start taking it as I took it back in 2015 with my first and I took one capsule a day even if I started late. I stopped taking them just because I was taking so many other pills that it got too much plus I didn't use OPKs and didn't know when I ovulated so didn't want to take the chance. I didn't take it this time around even though I still had the bottle from back then but it is probably expired.
@FlamingoGirl13. I think I only took one pill a day because I was unsure of it so I stopped.
Still got the chills and shivering and my nose is running a bit but other than that, I am trying to put last night aside and move passed it. Still can't seem to get through the nurses station at the doctors office but mentally I'm a bit better than a couple hours before.

Hey ladies! I’m excited for my ultrasound tomorrow!!! So is DH he just can’t get enough of saying she is pregnant...he gets me whatever I crave LOL (for now)
FlamingoGirl- I can’t remeber how many MG to take of EPO. I need to check ...I think it was 1200.. I know mine I had to take 3 times a day to equal that mg total. It is from af to confirm ovulation date. That is why I only temped when I got a positive to 3rd high temp.
Dragonfly- glad your feeling better. Trust me I’m right there with you. This cramps are off and On and with spotting. I didn’t think it be like this again either. My other pregnancy I didn’t have anything.
Right now sport bras are my new friends!!!
I will keep you updated from Sr appt tomorrow morning!

@Beaut1ful38. I'm excited to hear about your ultrasound too. I hope it goes well and the little bean is progressing nicely. Did you mention that you had spotting too this time around? I didn't have anything like that with my last one. I'm better but I got the chills really bad and the anxiety isn't as strong as it has been. I just saw the discharge last night and immediately started freaking out. So, far there has been nothing since just some minor cramping which sometimes throws me back into anxiety but its getting better the more people tell me that it is normal. Also been feeling nautious which I didn't get the last time. The health nurse told me that since this is your second pregnancy that things will happen quicker this time around, so the stretching of the uterus, etc. I'd rather have no symptoms at this time till later on.

So, I finally got through to the nurses station at the doctor and the lady said that the doctor didn't have a chance to look at them. She also said that if there is something wrong then they will call. I just wish they can tell me so I can put all this behind me and start living normally.

Dragonfly- yes I did spot on. My other pregnancies I didn’t. So I was freaking out to. My last pregnancy was 14 hrs ago so I feel like this is my 1st again. Lol im also worried bc of my age and last pregnancy my baby was 2 months and had to go for open heart surgery. So I can’t wait to heart the heartbeat. Which I will still be worried till birth and they confirm all this good.
