Just stupid symptoms that could be pms related too, metallic taste in mouth, tender breast, bloating, cramping in my left pelvic, increased appetite, frequent urination, a little faint. Who knows. Lol will chalk it up as pms for now.

How are you feeling Naci? Did you get a test that says pregnant! It's always more real when you see those awesome words!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Aww! You posted while I was!! Yay!! Always makes it more real!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Those sound like way more than PMS symptoms.. I can't wait for you to test :) FX so hard for your bfp!
Thanks Naci! Would be really cool if I were!

All the symptoms I was having for the past weeks are mellowing out. Only thing left is zero appetite, my hips and back hurt more so at night. In past pregnancies my morning sickness normally hits around 6-8 weeks.. I'm hoping this time it spares me lol
Hopefully you have an easy pregnancy this time! My third pregnancy was my favorite. He moved all the time and I was barely sick with him at all!!

Thanks Mommy2apples! I hope it's smooth sailing :) I sure hope it's nothing like my previous 2 pregnancies. My first pregnancy when I was younger was the easiest. No morning sickness or anything.
That'll would've been amazing Naci. My first two pregnancies I was sick the whole 9 months. Other two just weren't so bad!

Mommy- that's right, now I remember :) can't wait to see your test!
Naci- love it! So happy for you! Though seeing it did make my heart ache. I sure hope I get to see that word on a test again :/
I've always been lucky with the morning sickness. Never had it with my first and only felt nauseous every now and then with my 2nd. Now watch, if I do get pregnant again I'll be throwing up the whole time. Sure hope it's easy on you Nacire!
TtcBlue18 - Thank you so much! It really felt amazing to see Pregnant on that stick after getting out the shower this morning. Fx so hard that you see those words again!
Nacire-woohoo! Seeing those words is awesome! Congrats [emoji322]
Mommy & Iwant4-your charts are looking good! Can't wait for you both to get BFPs
Mommy-those symptoms sound very promising!!
Iwant4-your boys look like they're having so much fun!
Ttc-while it's annoying that DH is limiting cycle, try not to worry b/c you're going to get your BFP anyway!!!! Where there's a will there's a way haha.
Pbn-looks like a fun time for your boys too! I need to take my boys to something like that!
Max-I'm so sorry for what you're going through & so glad you're sharing your feelings with all of us here! A lot of people IRL just don't get it! I know what you mean. It did take a while for me to conceive #3 and while I'm so grateful, I do have random thoughts about having a family of 5. We won't even fit into my car, I'll have to get a new one & will someone always be left out?? I agree with pbn, not to rush to any final decisions right away. Sleep on it a few nights! Love pbn's statement of "good things come to those who wait." I fully agree, the sweetest little baby that's meant to be yours is just waiting on the right time. One thing to consider in making your decision-will you have regrets? I felt like if I didn't have #3, I would always wonder if we'd have a girl and not just gender-, I'd always wonder what baby #3 would be like...one more chance at being pregnant and trying to enjoy & embrace it all!!! [emoji173]
Thanks Lola! Would be nice! :)

Lola: I wanted to say that too but was a bit rushed this morning. Thanks for reminding me :)
Max: I start to think about how I won't be able to hold 3 on my lap, or hold each ones hand at the same time (all the typical things you can do with 2 and not 3). Then dh talks about how I can't fit 3 car seats in my jeep and we can't each grab a kid and hop on a 4wheeler if there's 3. But I know that if I wasn't to do this, I would always regret it. Not only because I would always wonder if I could have gotten my boy, but because I would always wonder what life would have been like if I'd had 1 more to love. I'm a firm believed in "the more the merrier" There's no such thing as too much love. :) My girls love seeing babies on TV and they beg me for a baby, I think that's a big part of it.
But also you have to take into consideration the ages of your babies. Theyre pretty close in age. Will you be one of those people glad to have the house back to yourself when they grow up and move out within a few years of each other? Or will you mourn the empty nest? It wouldn't be empty all at once if you bring another little one into the family. I think everyone worries about 1 child being left out, but the reality is that doesn't happen. Coming from a family of 4 brothers and 1 sister I can tell you I love all my siblings equally, our relationships just vary depending on age. My brothers are my best friends because I grew up with them. The older 2 helped raise me, I helped raise the younger 2. They were all very protective of me and my sister. With my sister, it's a little different, but I wouldn't trade if for the world. Being 10 years younger than me, and I moved out at 16, so I was only in the same household for the first 6 years. When she went to kindergarten I left home. When she was 8, i married my hubby and she was my maid of honnor. When she was 9, I made her an aunt. But it's wonderful. She's so close with my children. Different is not bad. Different is beautiful.
Sorry for the super long message, I just thought I might be able to show you a different perspective to some of your concerns :)
I bet so, especially after the false alarm. I can only imagine your excitement! You swayed girl, right? Ahhh I already can't wait to find out what your having! I know it's a long way to go yet but I bet it's a girl! :DD:Quote:

TtcBlue18 - Thank you! I sure hope so :) I try to put that I swayed way in the the back of my mind. I'm focusing on healthy and hoping its a healthy girl.
Mommy - that is so sweet about your oldest!!
Max!! I know you want this baby. I'm feeling all the feels too - wondering what was I thinking, was this a rash decision, should we have reevaluated more. But, then I tell myself for 3 years we have waived back and forth and I just can't see regretting having another child to love. My husband, who wasn't even fully on board, is more excited than me! Cried upon hearing the heartbeat. Am I going to be more stretched, spread thin, tired, yes, but I 99% ([emoji12]) feel it will be worth it and I know you will too. I freak out more about what if something happens to us or me, can family/husband handle 3?? But, I refused to not try for another baby out of fear! And now that I'm in the heat of morning sickness, I still question this decision, but when I picture that end goal, the baby, my heart skips a beat!! PM if you want to talk more!
Ladies - Apologies for being away. I am gonna have to catch up on the pages which seems impossible rift now [emoji51][emoji51].
Nacire - Congratulations once again. [emoji324][emoji323][emoji323][emoji324][emoji324]
Ttc blue - Pbn is here so u can ask all the questions since that's what I did. [emoji4][emoji4]
My 8 weeks appointment is tomorrow and I am so nervous. Promise to come back and write in detail.

Thanks again Skyblue! 8 week already?! I feel so far behind you ladies. I can't wait to hear all about your appointment tomorrow. Please share pics if you get any :)
Sure. Will do Nacire.

Did anyone have appointments today?

Mommy, unfortunately mine will all be 2 years apart from each other so my nest will be empty very suddenly :( Either a 2 year time span or a 4 year time span (if I get another baby in the next 2 months).. Funny little random fact, I just counted the weeks and if I conceive this cycle my baby will be due April Fools Day :)
I m not sure if you got an answer for this one. But I would suggest wait for pos opk to increase attempts. Don't trust ff completely. It just predicts O. I never relied on that. Always used my opks. When the opk is pos, pm, am and pm attempt. Then eod incase of delayed O. @pbn - Is that correct?? Just wanted to double check.Quote:

@skyblue I think ttcblue has this sorted? She's going to do eod with extra attempts at pos opk then back to eod from memory which is pretty much exactly as you posted 😀
@ttcblue18 when is af due to finish? All ready for temping 😀 also can you post a link to your chart? Open the ff app and in the top rh corner press on the drop down menu. Select share chart and data, create/preview homepage. Press on the web address (link) you see and it will open your phone web browser. Copy the web address (link) in the address bar and paste it into a post in here :)

Lmsm!! So excited for you! Have my fx!!

Mummy2apples - Thanks. FX for both of us! I was thinking of testing on the 3rd...maybe I should wait longer like you. I have similar symptoms too, but I also had them last cycle and wasn't, so who knows.
Maxim - Sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. I think it's totally normal when you're making a decision that impacts on everyone, not only yourself. I think clomid/femera really emphasises your hormonal feelings too- well it does for me; anger, anxiety, emotional and also interrupts my sleep. I hope you feel more at ease once you stop them. My DH is on SSRI tabs too. He had a sperm test with our first (prior to SSRI) and sperm test came back great! He also had one this year and it was great too, so hopefully that reassures you.
Nacire - LOVE your tests! Congrats lovely! Hope the MS stays away
Lola - thank you! Great time away and thanks for the good luck. Hope all went well with your scan!
Sky - Hope all went well with your scan!
TTCBblue - Lol to an April fools day baby. Ppl won't know whether your annoucement is real or not; well that's if they were born on their DD which is pretty unlikely.
Pbn3 - They are in my chart, but not showing for some reason?!? Attempts were CD 10,13,14 (not too girl friendly....)
LMSM - Here's to a new cycle and lots of peeing on sticks! Hope this is the month :)
AFM - Going home tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to as I have two more weeks at home. Can't wait to clean out all the cupboards and reorganise. We built a house last year and moved in just before Xmas, so I still feel like we are not completely organised. Plus now we know where we want to keep everything etc. I will also get to sort out the 'nursery' as everything gets dumped in there.
We also sold our car while we have been away which means I can buy an 8 seater! Wohooo! Family wagon here I come :) Kia Carnival
Hope we both are I w4k!! Would be so neat! Our dd would be right on top of each other!! Except they would take mine a week early due to repeat csection.
Oh yay for being able to get a bigger car! Lol we only have a 7 seater, probably will need an 8. Eek!! The nursery!!

Hi ladies!!! Thank you for your message, and sorry that I wasn't able to catch up last night.
Lola & Sky, did you have your appointments???
Kat, so happy you have ONE healthy little bean! XO
LMSM, I'm also CD8, glad we are together in this!!
Iwant4, thank you for sharing that with me! That's so reassuring to hear!
PBN, how are you? We have missed you....
I'll catch up more shortly. Just wanted to pop in and say hello.
Max! Hopefully we all get our bfps in July! Would be awesome if we all were due around the same time.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to update! There was 1 baby with a heartbeat today, measuring perfectly & dd still Feb 12th! I go back in 2 weeks for genetics/MaterniT21. I was too excited & went ahead & told some close family. They were all happy for me, but comments were as expected: "my money is on another boy" "Hope it's a girl" "saving my girl clothes for you." I'm wondering if I should've waited like my original plan, but oh well. Maybe just maybe I can come back with exciting news of "it's a girl." Otherwise, they will all joke....
Here's my little bean:

Mommy2apples and Iwant4kids- I will be waiting for the time when u ladies start testing. Fx so so so so hard. Don't wait too long pls. ❤️❤️❤️
LMSM - Great that digis have arrived and u started with Ics. I have a good feeling about this month. Fx ❤️❤️❤️
I won't stop asking to go for big O specially after pos opk. [emoji12]
Max - I m sorry that u not feeling too good. Ttc can be stressful enough and adding a Med which interferes with the hormones can be a lot to handle at this time that's what I have heard.how long do I have to take it? I agree with everything Kat said. It will all be worth when u get that bfp and your baby in your arms. Share with us. You always have us. A big giant hug my friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lolla - I m so happy for you ❤️❤️
Ttc - Please add your chart to your signature. That's really easy for all of us to stalk. [emoji12][emoji12]
I m rooting for you all. ❤️❤️
I have my appointment in 6 hours. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]so nervous.

Sky: Thank you, that's what my plan is :) I'm going to try to do eod, use my two attempts night of positive opk and following morning (might be able to get pm too but not counting on it) and then returning to eod. I know I can pull it all off except eod unprotected before attempts.. I told dh he's not allowed to know when I'm using the attempts because he's not "into it" when he knows. But really I'm just trying to sneak extra bd attempts past him. He doesn't expect me to do that because he thinks I'm worried about shettler's (is that how is spelled?) timing method. So I think I'm good to go this cycle. My only concern is that he's definitely going to realize what I did after its done and if I don't catch the egg this cycle he might not give me my 3rd cycle since I'm cheating on our deal. So I'm taking full advantage of this plan and hoping for the best.
Pbn: Thanks! I was wondering how to do that. I'll do it later this afternoon when my kiddos are napping, right now I just hopped on to check in before grocery shopping and taking them to the park :)
Oh and idk when af will leave. Usually about 5 days but every now and then I have light bleeding that lasts until cd8. I'm currently on cd5 so hopefully soon!
IW4K: That's very true, my 1st was 2 weeks "early" (but she weighed 9lbs 0oz so I think they had her due date wrong) and my 2nd was 2 weeks late, ended up being 10lbs 0oz.. Here's to hoping a 3rd won't be 11lbs! But if I did have a baby on April Fools it wouldn't matter because we never announce the births of our babies until a day after. We like to be selfish and suck up the time and enjoy the first day before others come to visit. :)
