TTC Girl - January 2012

[Out of the Blue]

thank you, but just spoken to my mum as she and my sisters were visiting at the weekend and apparently they are also achy with chills so perhaps it's an illness afterall, ah well!

Apparently a day or so after fertilization the egg releases a chemical called EPF (early pregnancy factor) which lowers your immune system to stop it from attacking the egg. Getting ill about now could actually be a good sign.

That happened to me in my BFP cycle last September. At about 2dpo I started to get a cough and I got steadily sicker as the 2WW continued. Lo and behold, I got a BFP at 9dpo!

i agree feeling ill in the 2ww was a classic for me with both my boys,

I've never thought about that before! With my 1st pregnancy I felt really run down even before I got a BFP...so that's pretty interesting.

I am sick too. DS1 and DH are sick as well, so now it is my turn. Sore throat today. According to FF I O on CD12 and today is CD3. If that is the case then I BD on O+1day, so looks like I will be looking to February as well. Sigh. GL to everyone else in the 2WW.

Hi out of the Blue ( cool name choice) and everyone else. I am TTC this month after a chemical last cycle. I am ov TODAY!! Awesome right? Not really! My poor ds who just turned 3 was admitted to our local Hospital with what appeared to be some super virus. He was having 105+ fevers. Today is day 6 and we've been moved to Children's Hospital Boston. They are checking for Kawasaki disease, he has some of the symptoms and some bad blood work but not all of it is insistent so we're still thinking virus. He's actually doing much better than he was Sat through Tuesday.

I am ashamed to admit I brought my opk's with me to hospital. Last nights was very close to positive, so after a pm to Atomic I took her advice sent dh home for all my "stuff" and attempted a TBM. So awkward in a bathroom. I just couldn't miss this month after all my hard work, especially because I'm 40 and don't have much time!! When I did an opk's this am it was SUPER positive. Now what? Do we attempt another TBM in our private hospital room? I would never dtd, I'd be to scared! I might dtd ( quick and discreetly with sleeping ds tucked in bed)if it was late and there were no nurses checking in but I'm sure dh wouldn't. I wanted to go through O because of age and using Rephresh and Sylk. What do you all think ( besides that I'm nuts). Obviously Ds is our first priority but I need these o attempts. I did another Rephresh finger this a.m. even though I was due for a full applicator but didn't want to make it too hard if need to do TBM. dh has done FR and it asn't been easy. Today is day 20 of my cycle!! I'm STARVING. Not much on diet at Hospital cafeterias. Mostly Diet Pepsi with loads of Equal!!

Sorry so long but could use you advice. I've read all you posts and praying for a number of you to get your BFP's soon. That stark white first line is heartbreaking.

Dannikins, I always forget to say hi to you until after I’ve posted… Putting you at the top of my list today! Hope all is well…Are you actually going to wait the rest of your pregnancy to find out the gender or will you get to have another peek at your bean? I was “team green” once but I don’t think I’d be able to manage it again!

haha, no probs....
we wont be having anymore scans, so we will wait untill the birth.
if it is another boy i would rather find out at the birth anyway, plus even if they did tell me it was a girl, i would never believe it untill it was born and could see it with my own eyes, in the flesh....

I survived another day without testing. I did almost have a mini panic attack while shopping though. I had some cramping and it felt as though AF had come, so I rushed to the bathroom worried it had come a few days early. It was a great relief to know I was wrong though. I found myself staring at the pregnancy tests after that, but I forced myself to walk away without buying any. I bought some book shelves though, so I'm going to keep myself busy with putting those together and organizing them tomorrow. I'm just waiting for Sunday because I'm either going to see a BFP or AF. How is everyone else doing?
