TTC Girl - February 2012

[sis4O]

I wouldn't worry too much about the diet as long as you get back into it 100% right now. I say go for it, suregena! I don't want you to have to wait until May!!!

I'll probably be right there with you! I've also remained around the 107 mark but I have been having a pity party with food. Totally off diet, but I never eat much to begin with so mostly cheated with chocolate. My cycle is crazy. I still have an average temp of 99.5 and yesterday I had light pink mixed into cm followed by slight brown later. This has never happened to me and I've been pregnant 7 times. Everything is screaming I'm pregnant except the darn tests!!! I need to stop testing everyday and wait until the weekend. I still don't know when I O'd so again only time will tell.

Suregena, I would say to keep on keeping on......once your cycle starts keep ttc. When you get your BFP you'll be thrilled no matter what the due date. If you don't keep trying will it make you crazy wondering what if?? Call the airlines and verify the regulations for infants and pregnant women then you'll have definite answers. I'm sorry it's taking AF so long to arrive. Sometimes I feel like our bodies seem to know what we want and enjoy being cruel to us! 'I've felt betrayed many times. It sounds silly but it's exactly how I feel. Go buy the most expensive HPT's, that always makes AF come for me! Cruel I tell ya.........

Absolutely!! I was so sick with only dd ( on IV's for hydration every week). I only got sick one time with the boys.

I had all day nausea with my son from 6 weeks to 9 weeks. That was it. I only threw up two times, once at 7 weeks at 3am and again at 8 weeks at 6am. And it was only (tmi) bile. Nothing horrible.

I guess I better pay attention to a "super sick" symptom.

Not to mention, an online friend of mine had morning sickness similar to me with her son as well, and she's currently in her third trimester with her daughter and was VERY VERY sick with daily throwing up until into the 2nd trimester.

Maybe there is something to this... *maybe*...

Not that I WANT to be that sick, but it might be a reassuring pre-scan glimmer of hope!

Been there, done that! I've wasted multiple cheap tests, moderately cheap tests, and two expensive digitals! I'm OVER it! AND WAITING FOR AF!

I have never been this late before. At least we're sort of identical in our circumstances! *high five* (not a great reason to high five, but high fives can cheer someone up, anyway...)

A few days late I could have coped with... over a week late and I'm losing it! I'm on CD35.

suregena try exercising your abdomen like rolling your hips and doing star jumps ..... do anything that will make your ovaries and abdomen move and that may encourage it, i drank parsley tea for 2 days to bring on a late AF and it worked !!

AS apart from meat and fish what other foods should DH stay away from, what about nuts and should he be skipping brekkie too ??

[littlemissnaughty7]

yes i def believe in the sooooo sick girl and feeling off boy thing, it just rings true for almost every pregnant lady ive ever known !!!

[dannikins]

pink, i know lots of ladies whos DH refuse to help with swaying.
and alot of them have been successful sways.
i have also seen ladies whos DH co-operated perfectly , and had 100% perfect sways who still ended up having the opposite gender.

its not failsafe, all you can do, is the best you can...

Suregena, i would get to the dr if i was you.
get some bloods done or something.
for someone whos never late, this really needs checking out.

when i had my ectopic pregnancy, i didnt get a BFP untill i was 2 weeks late, (i usually get BFPs a week before O) i tested the day after AF was due BFN, and every few days after that untill i got the BFP 2 weeks later.
ectopic pregnancies can cause really slow hCG climbs, which is why it took so long for the BFP to show up.
at 6 weeks pregnant, my hCG was at 28, at 8 weeks it was at 52, thats a doubling time of more than 2 weeks!!!
(it took them 2 weeks of tests etc before they realised i was ectopic, long story....)

anyway, not trying to freak you out, but i would really get it checked out if i was you, if it is something like that you are far better off catching it early.

OMG I just wrote an entire post and lost it. I see auto save now only if I knew how to retrieve??? anyone?
Here we go again:

Suregena~ I say go for it too. I had to take off swaying for 2 months bc I was so ill, and it was absolute torture. As we all unfortunately know there's no guarentee on a quick BFP especially when ttc pink! If your family is willing to be flexible I would not stop ttc for sure. It all works out no matter what you do.

Mocha~ I'm so happy your scan went well. I checked in several times yesterday to see and didn't have time to post. I knew your little bub would have a strong heart beat for you to hear! Very interesting to hear about the differences in healthcare. I'm considered high risk and have scans almost every other week, by tecs and the docs. I'm sure there is positives and negatives to both systems!

Peony~ Yay for CD1 so exciting right.

LMN~ I too CANNOT wait for CD1, so excited to start my clomid for the first time!!!

Amari~ Glad you got some answers. Did you decide about the vitex and whether you would attempt this month without the clomid? I think the only way to make that decision is thinking about if you would have any regrets whatsoever.

OOTB~ I completely understand. Sometimes after an extremely busy day, I think about getting on and sometimes don't because I want to take my mind off swaying and get lost in a tv show instead. I know you will come back with a BFP, sometimes I think getting it off your mind is helpful will miss u for sure, but see you soon with a pic of a BFP

Auorara~ Hope you start feeling a little better

yes i def believe in the sooooo sick girl and feeling off boy thing, it just rings true for almost every pregnant lady ive ever known !!!

i never had much in the way of nausea with any of my boys. i might have felt a bit off if i got hungry, that sort of thing, but that was it.
this pregnancy i had constant nausea most of the day, for the first 13 weeks or so.
lived on ginger ale, and peppermint tea.
i dont know the gender yet, but hoping it means something pink....

[littlemissnaughty7]

HEY H&D hun today turned out to be CD1 for me so first clomid tablet tomorrow !!!! im super excited come on you clomid pink swimmers i want a pink beanie !!!!!!!
