TTC a BOY April Chit Chat Thread

POP i know how you are feeling, actually i would see your emotional state as a good sign. I am having 0 symptoms, nothing at all going on with me, infact DP has been doing things that would normally irritate me to the max and cause arguments, but i am calm cool and collected, no raging horemones in my system at all, so i also feel like i am out, but i don't want to feel down about it untill i absolutly have to, when AF arrives. I did a test this morning, and got a BFN, so i shall just continue living my life, if it is going to happen it will, i cant change anything. I guess after 5 months of trying i have come to realise that it really is out of my control. And also i think if you have to wait for something you want really bad, when you finally get it, it will be a sweeter feeling than if you just got it right away.

Thanks Hobber! :) Like I mentioned all the TTC stress, swaying stress, BFNs all got to me. So i wanted to take a break from the GD forums as well - did not want to be reminded of TTC at all!

Thanks Cinss! Thanks Bec! :)

PoP, I did not have any symptoms and I was sick of testing all of the previous months and getting a BFN at dpo10. After that, I would be in a terrible mood till AF came. I would get into stupid arguments with DH too. So, I decided in April to just wait and test only after the first day of missed period. That did help a bit!

Cinss, try not to get too down about the BFN. It is still early... test again in a few days!

Soni, CONGRATS!!!!! TTC5 is so right, sometimes it takes throwing in the towel for that bfp to come. And I completely understand how you felt and needed a break, and good for you for taking a much needed one. Seems like it worked well for you! And glad you are back!!!!

Thanks for the May baby vibes, ladies! I do hope something good happens soon. DH has an ultrasound today, and then another SA on Thursday, so we are moving right along with nailing down what is going on with him. He hasn't been prescribed anything yet as the doc is still trying to diagnose what is wrong, but it won't be another week before I'm sure he will have some drug to take or he won't.

POP, I never feel pregnant when I actually am, so ITA with everyone, don't get down. I do always feel super hormonal, though, that is usually a good indicator when I look back at my moods around 14dpo or so. Those hormones certainly do start kicking early. You'll get there! Sometimes it just takes a few more months than you expected, and you've had lots of babies with your DH already, so no reason to suspect you won't have another very shortly.

So, question for you all (and I may pose a thread to get some other answers), but I have had a weird cycle, never like this before. I really think I have a fibroid or a cyst or something in my uterus. I was spotting brown, very lightly, for 7 days before I started my period, then had a very dark and heavy and clotty AF, and now have been spotting red for 3 days after AF should have been over. Worst thing is, Saturday afternoon, you would have thought someone put 10 knives in my reproductive organs. DH was about to take me to the emergency room. I have been on painkillers ever since, and have an appt tomorrow afternoon, but I am worried I have something bad going on in there. And I am not pg, DH was out of town the whole week I ovulated last month. Anyone experience this ever? That scary H word (hysterectomy) keeps popping in my head and making me freak out.

Lola, I know 2 friends who had fibroids and had healthy babies. One had the fibroid removed before pregnancy (it was discovered between 2 pregnancies) and the second person had her fibroid discovered DURING pregnancy, and itw as the size of a grapefruit! They left it in until after the birth.Her baby was totally healthy.

I know it is scary to not know what is going on... keep us posted! I hope it is nothing, just a wacky cycle, or stress or something.

Thanks so much everyone!! I guess I feel extra down because a girl I work with started TTC this month and yet I don't think she really wants a baby because her first sign of interest was when I started trying, she kept changing her mind, and her husband doesn't want another child. I just feel like she is going to get a BFP before me and I actually really want another baby!!

Cinss...I wonder if you slight temp drop yesterday (monday) was an implantation dip. You wouldn't get a BFP yet if it was!! I really hope this is your month!!!!

I know nothing about fibroids Lola but I would go and see your Dr to get it checked out!

Thanks for those reassuring stories, Hobbs....I have an appt tomorrow afternoon, so I am sure they will do an u/s to check my uterus. Funny thing is, I stopped bleeding today, and feel relatively normal....although I did take a pain pill this morning as I had a zillion meetings and didn't want to start feeling anything in the middle of them. It was super excruciating on Saturday.

POP, now you know it's not a race, you will get your bfp when it's time! I know it's hard though to have months of bfns, trust me. I had to just skip a baby shower for a couple who weren't even trying. I don't tell people what we are going through, of course, so I just lied and said I was coming down with something, but I just couldn't take it. But your chart is still looking really good!

Big hugs Lola...I know my complaining is nothing compared to what you are going through!! I wish we could both get a BFP in the next few weeks...and Cinss and Bec too!! We can leave this part of the board empty and move on to the Due in January section!!!
