Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Everyone! I'm on DPO 7, I think. I too am really trying hard not to symptom spot or think about every little thing. I guess it's easier for me though this month, I just don't "feel it." My temps have been so strange this month, and I don't know if it's me, or if having to get a new thermometer in the middle of my cycle has something to do with it. I'm going to try temping v____ally instead of orally. I've read that you actually get much better temps that way. It sounds pretty gross to me, but if it works, then I think I can handle it. So I'm just taking things day by day. I should get my little visit from AF around the 22nd or the 23rd, so we will see. I doubt I'll even POAS this month, that's how much I'm just not feeling it. The only thing I did notice, which is kinda strange, cuz I've never noticed it before is that the veins in my b___bs have gotten really dark. They look bigger or something, I don't know. I just know I was looking in the mirror brushing my hair after I got out of the shower and I saw all the veins. The girls are really sore too, but they were that way last month around this time, so I guess that's a normal thing for me. Anyway, alc, Looby, theo... you out there? Theo, I'd love to hear progress on you and your little bean! To all the newcomers, WELCOME! The more the merrier on here. Love, when my OPK comes out positive, I usually O two days later. I know every woman is different, but there's a little hope for you that you didn't miss it this month. Just attack him when he walks in the door and hope for the best! =0) Simone, how are things going? When can you test? april, I was overweight too when I got preggers (all 5 times.) I know they say it can be harder when you're overweight, but it didn't seem to be the case for me. It can take a year for a healthy non overweight woman to get preggers, so three months isn't really all that long trying. I know it seems like forever when you want something so badly, but keep your chin up! I guess that's all from me tonight. It's late and my eyes are getting sleepy.

Love, no I haven't tried the ov watch yet. If we're still trying in a couple months I may invest in it. I'm still not sure if it's time to stop hoping yet. In my history, I have gotten prego before many years ago... I had gone in with my dad to start bc, and on that visit found out I was prego.. but I remember that I thought I had had my period not long before he took me... I had a conversation with my mom, she asked if I have any news for her yet, and I told her about my disappointment. She told me that she had a "period" during the first month she was pregnant with me. I wonder if that kind of thing is hereditary.. If so, there is hope for me yet. I'll tell you what, it is hard having so many ups and downs in the matter of a week or two. Still haven't seen af yet, but as said, she's due on friday. Anyhow, I'll be back to give more updates tomorrow. Thanks so much for the support! baby dust!

update: CD14 - second day of very wet cm - not really ew, just very watery and wet - dh came home - we bd'd. temp was up 3/10 this morning to 36.38 but still not over the coverline of 36.46. I wonder if i'll have my surge tomorrow? I wonder if we caught the egg? tww here I come!!

So long without writing so many new people and so many new posts!! As for me, I´m late again. I´m starting to think my period is going crazy, I´m on day 34 and nothing! I havent had a HPT but I can´t wait any longer tomorrow morning I will test!

Love- YAY! I truly hope you did catch the egg. here's to hoping, anyway. so glad your dh made it back home in time to really try. cristalt-HI! I'm new here but it doesn't feel like it having read the whole thread. How long are your cycles, again? Crossing fingers and toes for a bfp for you tomorrow! I'm not late, and have been spotting for the last couple of days. Hoping it's nothing, but all hpt's i've had have been bfn. I'm due for af tomorrow, but as I've said in previous post I don't think as much of it.... my previous pregnancy I bled through the period i should have missed, as did my mother. only time will tell.

Hi all, Sorry i've very busy this week with work. but wanted to thank you for your advice i really appreciate it:) Update from when I posted is the very next day my period started so the test where right (Dang It!!) but we will be trying again in a week and hopefully this will be our month. In the mean time does anyone thinks its safe to diet while ttc. Baby dust to everyone out there!!!

aprilw- I understand the hopefulness of maybe it'll be easy this time too. My dh and I have been trying for 7 months now with no luck :) If by "diet" you mean eat healthy foods and exercise, then I think yes, diet would be okay. I would not recommend diet pills and "starving" yourself. You still need to get all the nutrients you and your baby need. Eating healthy foods and exercising I believe would be the best thing you can do for yourself, and any potential babies you'll be carrying around. So sorry that witch showed up, but perhaps this month will be it! Good luck to you, be safe, and sticky baby dust to you!

Hey all! I should have put down 9 DPO last night and not 7.. not sure where my brain was! It seems my mind is slipping the last few days. Getting old, I guess. Love, glad to see the hubby made it home in time. Sure hope this is your month! Crista, did you test? April, as was said, don't diet, per se.. but eat healthy and smart. Try and stay away from as many processed foods as you can. Also try to stay away from anything "white." White rice, white flour, white potatoes, etc. Also, don't go crazy on the excercise. Too much weight loss in a short time really messes with the hormone levels, which is something we all DON'T want right now. Walking, swimming, Yoga, anything that's cardio is OK, but stay away from strenuous stuff. Good luck to all still in the running this month!

Hi ya ladies! Shew, so many threads, i dont know where to start...but the BIGGEST one that stands out for me is Phoenix! Phoenix: I think that congratulations might be in order for you soon! You spoke about the veins that are more prominant in your bbs? This is a for sure and positive sign. I tell you why. Remember i made a comment about my best friend that found out she was pregnant a few weeks ago? Well, about 3 weeks ago She was 10 weeks yesterday, started seeing the same thing in her bbs, and today the veins have only become even more prominent! Reason is because the veins in your bbs need to pump double the amount of blood through to them to aid producing milk ect. Hence why they get bigger and bolder. Im crossing fingers and toes for you!!! Let us know asap what happens!!! April: I agree with whats been said here about diet ect. A good, healthy and not OTT crash diet, can only do you and your little one to be good! Besta luck!! To everyone else!! Bedst aluck to ya all too! Have an awesome day ladies!

I just saw one or two posts i missed.. Cristal: Good luck for you HPT test....Would be so awesome to get a postive reading from one of you ladies! And PikaPuka: Any news with your spotting ect? Have you tested yet too?

Ladies, I found a website that could be very useful and interesting for all of us ttc and going bonkers in the tww period. For some reason, this site doesnt allow me to post a url link or e-mail adress, so type in the usual w code and then coutdowntopregnancy. Com. hehehe..sorry about the sneaky way of typing this...but you got to check it out. It shows all symptoms that various woman doc_mented at which dpo day. so, you can take (if any) symptoms you may have and compare them to the database ect. WARNING: this site could drive you bonkers, but still worth the look! *big smile* have fun and enjoy!

Phoenix; that means you are 10 dpo today; are you going to test? Speaking of testing, Pika; did af come today? Update: 2 dpo..had a ma__sive surge yesterday on my bbt - went from 36.36 to 36.99!! This is the first month I have charted; is this a concern that it went so high? Dropped today from 36.99 to 36.60 - my coverline is 36.46. We only bd'd 4 times this month, and only once on ov day. I don't think my chances are very good. But there's always next month! We should put that on a t-shirt... Good luck everyone!

Hey Everyone! I'm 11 DPO today, and no, I'm not going to test. The witch should be here in a few days, if not, then I'll test. I'm just really not feeling it this month at all. This whole thing with the new thermometer and the readings I'm getting from it just really have me off this month. In a way, I'm just hoping af gets here soon so I can start charting again with more accurate readings. Every other month I'd be going a little spastic right about now POAS every day, but not this time. Plus my moods have been way too good and my energy has been way too high. Still waiting to hear from everyone!! Baby dust************

Hey there-- Update: this would be day 28 of the cycle, no af yet, but pretty regular dark brown spotting still, hasn't let up, just gotten a little heavier. (usually a couple days of dark brown, a couple days of bright red spotting before period) no cramping except for a twinge here and there, but definitely not af cramps, i think it's just gas ]_[. I'm afraid to test just yet because I've only been charting my cycles (menstrual only, started cm this month and just started bbt 2 days ago) since january, and my cycles have been pretty sporadic. January it was 31 days, a couple were 21, 25, 26, and tomorrow will be day 28 without af. we'll see if I can resist testing tomorrow, I only have one left for this month, and i'm kind of afraid of another disappointment. Good to hear from everyone, and baby dust to you!!

Hello everybody, I am still here. We have moved house so we are still waiting for the internet to be connected. Just on a friends now though. Phoenix, you're waiting for af and I'm waiting to O it should all happen on the same day I'd say. Af arrived right on schedule last month so here's hoping for this month. Theo, are you still out there? Let us know how you're doing and post all the symptoms so we have something else to obsess about!!! Good luck to you all :) P.S, I also have the 'what to expect before you're expecting' book, and it is definitely worth the read!

small update. couldn't resist, asked dh, tested, and yet another bfn. -sigh-
