Pink swayers' December thread

[Mochagirl]

Jamie - welcome, and good luck with your sway. It sounds like atomic and OoTB answered all your questions, just know there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to sway - we all have special circumstances of some sort we have to take into consideration.

Thanks, but I'm starting to lose hope again. I had more spotting this morning - thick very dark red (almost black). I have a feeling all this spotting just means the m/c is still not complete. I spotted through O, at 3 dpo, in the evening of 5dpo and the morning of 6dpo...I think that's far too much for me to actually get pregnant. My temp did go slightly up today, but nothing dramatic.

oh, you poor thing... so sorry it's dragging out for you. I don't know if it would prevent implantation - there's a chance I guess, but your body will only conceive again when you are physically ready anyway, stressful as that is. As you know I spotted right up until my AF turned up (bleeding of some sort every day), it makes it all even more frustrating.

perhaps you are destined to get a Christmas BFP

I now have a sweet, perky little A and an almost C. It ain’t pretty, girls! Maybe DH just focuses on one side or something… Sorry…this post has been TMI but just wanted to say my boobs are nowhere near perfect!!!

I've had that before when I've gotten confused and nursed all night on the same side.

BD session #3 happened last night. Boy is this getting old, lol. It's just so completely awkward when I can't get into it.

We did frequent BD all summer, and BOY did it get old for us too. DH couldn't get into it unless he thought I was, so I had to brush off my acting skills when really dtd was the LAST thing I wanted to do most of the time. He's also not a fan of fr unless I 'help' him take care of himself ever night, and that became a chore too. This time around I'm taking it easier on myself and dtd only after a +OPK (or a nearly +) and just getting him to release once before we dtd.

I thought I remembered that you said you spotted through your first post-m/c cycle. You're right that it makes for a stressful TTC time. For me the spotting isn't every day. I bled up until CD7, then spotted every day up until CD13. After that I had a day with no spotting, then blood mixed in with my EWCM on and off from CD15-18, when I O'd. I had two days with nothing, then very brief an minor spotting on 3dpo, and more spotting on 5dpo/6dpo starting in the evening and ending in the morning. The sporadic spotting is sooooooo confusing because I keep thinking I'm done and back to normal, then BOOM I find brownish red when I wipe again!

Did you have a confirmed O in that first cycle? When did af return?

And as for a Christmas BFP, I wish! Unfortunately, it's going to be a Christmas sway and a January BFP. The thought of trying to stick to the diet when I'm staying with my in-laws for a whole week with no control over meals makes me want to cry. If af returns 4 weeks after my m/c, I'll be due to O on the 26th!

Thanks so much! I think that's why I am having a hard time with this because I like things with a "yes" or "no"; "right" or "wrong" answer so it's hard for me to accept although I know I have to let it go (I'm a bit of a control freak )

I actually have always had breasts that were to COMPLETELY different sizes and could never find bras that fit. I developed early (wore a c cup in the 5th grade) and my breasts were always so saggy. I had stage 4 whatever the medical term for sagging boobs is (I think thats the worst as far as sagging). And so just this past year I got a lift/implant (the implant was really just to put the volume back that the lift took out and well as make them the same size) and I'm so happy with them but now I'm feeling guilty that it could stop me from breastfeeding this time around but we are not sure of how many children we wanted to have and my boobs were so hard to deal with (I had a hard time with bras, shirts, dresses and just self esteem) so I just didn't want to wait however many years it was going to be before we were completely done.

Yup - I'm the same way. I think you'll find a lot of us boy moms are control freaks - probably has something to do with the high testosterone....

Well ladies, i broke down and tested today and it was a BFN

I'm only 10 dpo, so not totally discouraged, although now all my symptoms have vanished, but sore boobs, but i always get sore boobs either before preg or AF so that is no help whatsoever!

Jaime, glad to have ya along! Good luck!

Mocha, I hope the spotting is still a good sign...keep us updated...maybe it's just implanation bleeding, hopefully?

Jen/OOTB: LOL, you make me laugh so much! Thank you! It's delightful to read all the posts, but yours has been cracking me up. Thanks! Good luck with getting a BFP soon!!

Rainbow, I dunno if it was an infection...not to be TMI, but aren't infections supposedly to be discharge-y? I've never had an infection so not sure if the irriraration was an infection, or just an irriration. It's worlds better now, though I'm still not in any mood to DTD.

Lemon, any news on BFN/BFP? Have you retested? Did AF come? Woman, we need details!!!!

Zan, I am so EXCITED to hear whether you'll be team pink or blue! Hoping you hear !!!

[Mochagirl]

Sorry about the BFN auroara - hopefully you'll get that BFP in a couple of days!
