Well I have not really ever ttc before. I mean I have had unprotected s_x but it was not planned. I do want to have a baby and have wanted to for about a year. I am 19 and I have a guy friend that wants to have a baby with me. We are going to start ttc very soon. We have already had unprotected s_x but that time wasn't planned. I am going to be testing if I miss my period which is due tomorrow.

Update: 13 DPO nipples still sore and b___st a bit fuller. I have this unmistakably noticeable "nasty" taste in my mouth. Temperature at 98.29 today so went up by .4 degrees. I feel subtle cramps and I also feel my lower back as if af is about to start. I won't test again until june 2nd.

Monique- if you don't mind me asking are you being monitored by your ob-gyn? If so what is your conceiving plan? Are you trying anything "new"? Simone- I have been running around like a headless chicken and working out didn't make it in my schedule. I need to regroup. So you are marine, navy or army wife?

 

Monique901 - May 24

I haven't been monitored by my obgyn. I haven't tried anything new.

Monique- are you actively trying? Or are you Not trying not preventing? The reason I ask is because we could bounce tips off of one another depending what your goals are. My objective is to get pregnant ASAP and I secretely dream of twins. But one would be incredible as well. I believe God will Bless me in his own time. Meanwhile I try to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hi Bebe- I am a navy wife! It is very interesting, yet challenging!!! How was your weekend?

 

Monique901 - May 25

Well I have not been preventing because I'm not on birthcontrol and he does not pull out. I want to get pregnant by this year and have my baby sometime next year. It seems like it's not happening. It's a few things I wanna do before I get pregnant though. I would like to get at a heathier weight. I also need to eat better foods and exercise more often. Do you have any tips as to how I could get pregnant fast bebe?

Simone I almost joined the Navy! They look so hot and I'm sure you got a hot pic of you two. That is so cool. So how are you feeling hun? Remember to relax that's when the body will release the egg. I also get nauseous when I take prenatals on an empty tummy. Now I take them before I go to bed and by morning I am perfectly fine. Remind me please where you are in your cycle? What CD are you on? Monique- I am also on a journey to conceive. I have never been pregnant so I am very actively trying. I have started excercising and I am particular about my food (vegan diet). Plus I take this oil mix to help regulate my cycle it is called Barlean's essential woman. This oil mix has helped with my skin hair complexion AND my cycle is much better. I even notice significant cervical mucus changes. I feel ovulation happen also. Othet ladies take other stuff to help regulate their cycle. Will you ladies temp your BBT next cycle? How about opk's?

Update: DPO 15 and Af is here! So back to CD 1 for me. I am actually so excited because this past cycle was almost perfect (would be perfect if I were pregnant). I am glad AF showed up on time instead of leaving me in limbo. This go around, i have more confidence. Now that I know everything functions well, I decided to temp and CHART and OPK to line everything up for d-day. My nipples' soreness has decreased a lot. As usual, the b___sts feel fuller. I have cramps (we know now why), and I am sleepy. My temp is about 97.50 and I am not so hungry. I have not checked for the cervical mucus (CM) nor the cervical positon (CP).

Hi Bebe- Sorry about af:( I am glad you have a good att_tude towards it though!!! I think the positive thinking helps a lot!!! So how long was your cycle this time? Where do you buy Barleans? What is it for? Will it help regulate your periods? I made a gyno appointment on June 17th with my normal doctor back in the States:) I can't wait to go and see what they say:) The first day of my last period was May 10th. It lasted for 4-5 days this time. Last time it was very light and short. So they have been running between 40-45 days. My next period will hopefully come sooner then later although if it comes around the 40th day then I might be able to get some baby dancing in if hubby comes home. I haven't been taking my prenatals, just my normal one day vitamins and an extra folic acid. I have been super busy and I think it's taking my mind off of my period and the pressure to get preggo. I hope it helps!!!!Oh man I didn't think about my period when I made the appointment with the gyno. I hope my period holds off until after the appointment. Maybe it will since I will be traveling. I will definitley try charting after this cycle. So Bebe how are you? Any fun plans for the summer?

Hey ladies I know I'm pretty late but I was very interested by reading this thread and I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd child I hope you ladies have your babies. I can't wait to read about your bfp!!! Also I saw simone say something about not getting your bfp when ur supposed to she's absolutely right I can't test until about a week after my period is missed cuz it will definitely be negative..lol

Sorry Im just curious, when I went off BC I would always start bleeding right away, like 2 days within stopping. When you say you didnt start until 40 days later, did you not bleed right after stopping?

 

simone7399 - June 10

Hi airforce wife! I stopped Bc in February of this year. I had my normal withdrawl bleed two days later and then my next period did not come for 40 days:( It's been between 40-45 days now. It so frustrating!!! I had some blood work done to see if my hormone levels were good, and everything came back normal. They say it can take up to a year to get back to normal. I sure hope it dose not take that long. My hubby is in the Navy and he is going to be out to Sea for a while:( So how long have you been trying? Lots of baby dust!!!!

 

airforcewife13 - June 11

Havent been trying for very long. Im supposed to get AF on June 14th and Im very tempted to test tomorrow morning but Im scared! If I am not pregnant, there is something def wrong with me and Im going to the doctors! I have not felt very well the past few days, and for some reason I have been feeling very anxious, almost getting a full scale panic attack and Im wondering if its hormones? But I cant imagine how hard it must be for you without your husband and family. Right now Im in Texas for hubby's training and hes only allowed to stay with me on the weekends, and he has a curfew to be on base at 10pm. Im always afraid hes going to get deployed, I dont know how I would handle that. Anyway, I have a 29 day cycle, last period was May16-18th and according to my phone (got this cool app called iperiod, you can track everything!) my fertile window was May26-31st. We BD leading up to the big O and all during and even after. So on the 4th I started having tender b___sts and I thought oh thats quite early for that to happen, and Ive got these headaches that are nagging at me, Im actually getting fed up with them, I go to sleep with them and wake up with them. Peeing all the time, ive felt sick a couple times but it pa__ses, and now my new worry/symptom is I have brown discharge and when I woke up this afternoon there was a bit of blood and I freaked out and now its stopped. Oh and today I finally went to the bathroom, sorry if TMI but I hadnt gone since Sat night! That is extremely abnormal for me, I have a very fast metabolism and Ive actually had to go to the doctor to get anti-spasmodics to slow it down, havent needed those lately! And Im tired, but I have trouble actually getting to sleep. Anyway, think Im going insane. Hope you ladies are not going as crazy as me!
