Ohhhh braxtons are good, they could be super mild contractions ;)
Been having them for weeks, more so the last few days. With 2 out of 3 I had em for 6-8 hrs a day for over a week before birth. I just ignore them and wait for labor to knock me over.
I hope labour isnt far away!! When you lost your plug with the girls how soon did labour start?
Hi everybody
I think you have all moved onto this thread now? I was posting in the Jan thread?
I must apologise for my lack of posts - been dealing with sick children (they got my bugs!), and then husband dropped a bit of a bombshell and decided to inform me that he REALLY didn't want anymore babies!! Some of the reasons even had me doubting it too... so needed some timeout to do some soulsearching.
We seem to be back on track now though and I am once again, excited at the thought of my sway! We are going to keep at this, and take each month as it comes! I think that at times, the idea of all this seems overwhelming and even (dare I say it??!) and impossibility?
Thankfully, we did keep taking the supplements, I continued the diet and have been taking my temps, checking my CM everyday in case - didn't want to lose a precious month in getting to know my body again post contraceptive pill ;-)
on the downside, I have put on weight :-(...through this 'unsure' time, found I was comfort-eating and in particular, loads of chocolate!! So am sure I have messed my blood sugar levels up.. *sigh* Need to get back on track soon - we want to TTC in May...
Do you guys think that I could start a bit of jogging to try and get some of the added weight off?? I know cardio swyas girl, but need to so something!
Good to be back!
Yahmama - good luck!!!!
How exciting 3pink!!
bb - You have plenty of time to get back on track xx
Welcome back babyblessings. Glad your hubby is on board now.
Welcome back bb!!
A +ve opk is getting close, the test line is getting darker, hopefully by tues/wed with some luck. I actually have ewcm this cycle, strangely haven't really had any the last few months which made it hard to know if O was getting close. Guess the sups are working. I ordered preseed on friday night with express shipping so it better be here by wed. Fingers crossed I don't O early and miss DH getting home.
OMG did hubby give in POP?!!!
I think so aswell, I haven't done any swaying at all this month.Quote:

What are you taking, I need help increasing EWCM.
For me, getting pregnant was more important than gender so we threw all caution to the wind :)Quote:

I'm still doing BS douche and BS drink this month, but not doing BSF. I don't see how getting a fingertip will affect your pH that much anyway.Quote:

ASF: Dating scan tomorrow at 3pm :) Had another hcg blood test to check levels again should get results tomorrow.
Enjoy that scan TT5! And thanks for the thoughts re BS. Was always worried about going to far and hitting the cervix - so might just do douche and see what happens - like a trial this month... my pH is so low (4.5) that I feel I need to do something? Its the only thing that I kinda feel isnt 'right'?
Thanks PoP for the list of supps - so helpful :-)
Good luck for when it all kicks off 3pink
Hi All hope you all had a good wknd.
It was my youngest's 3rd birthday so very manic and we had snow in England.
Well to update my cycle has been very strange, I had a +pok on Friday which threw me as I wasn't expecting it that early! I did 3 opk's that day 1pm, 3pm & 7pm - they were all positive but the 7pm was lighter so thought to myself that was the surge! My husband had released the night before, so we left it 24 hrs and had sex on the sat about 3pm. However, woke up on sunday morn with no temp surge! Did another opk and there was still a line but not dark.
This is unusual for me as I normally get a +opk then a temp surge 2 mornings later, I also normally only have +opk for about 8hrs then the line completely disappears. So I thought what the heck we'll do it again, gave the birthday girl a dvd to watch and sweets to eat :-) and went at it again.
With all my daughters I had sex after a +opk and only dtd the once, so thought maybe we should just go with it and dtd through ovulation. However, woke up this morn and my temp has gone up but not by much and i was drinking wine last night which normally sends my temp up anyway, so now I am really confused.
I had a very soft low and open cervix yesterday and lots of cm. Its it possible not to ovulate if you have a +opk and all the other sysmptoms???? I've tried looking up anovulatory cycles but it doesn't say whether you do or don't.
Sorry for the very long post and thanks for your help.

My 9 y/o keeps rubbing my tummy when noone is around and saying "I love you baby" and asking me sooo many Q's about it lol.
Me too. Luckily for us, if you are being fertility-friendly, you are swaying blue.....so I try to just eat well and take vitamins and use preseed and such. I only took 1 opk yesterday because I had o pains and was just curious (and it was way +) so we were just on the dtd every other day plan this month, although we ended up dtd on Sat morning and then Sunday night, and I think I o'ed sometime last night. LBAM, I think it's worth a shot to ease up on the swaying if it's bumming you out to ttc so long. At least have a couple of months of being more laid back and see if it helps maybe?Quote:

We had shows this weekend and I've been so busy.....Bec, I think you are in the 2ww.....FX you get a bub this month. Hi to everyone else, will check in again soon!
Princess of pink - Great supps! :) Are you going to mix the BS with the Preseed?
POP, how many mg of DHEA is that a day? Unless you have your levels checked and know it is low, I would not take more than 50mg a day just on your own. Too much is not good for you. Just be careful if you haven't been to the doc and had a DHEA level done.
Awwwwww!Quote:

Yep, that's right still here.
Come on Charlie!!!!!
Strawbell - Happy 3rd B'day to your little girl :) Your cycle is being naughty, just like mine! Apparently you can have a couple of lh surges if you don't actually O the first time, kind of like a false positive, then your body will try again a little later. I think that happened to me this time too, but i didnt keep doing the opk's, so i really won't know for sure. FF gave me the dotted line on my chart on CD23, but this morning after i enterd my temp, it took it away saying i may not have Od :(. Here is where i am, My Ovulation Chart if anyone can have a look i would appreciate thoughts. But i think i didn't O at all this cycle, the ferning saliva test did not confirm O, i should have kept doing the opk's and microscope, Doh!
I think you O'd CD 23. Your around 6 dpo now could be implantation dipping ;)
Thanks for looking 5, i hope your right.
