Trying for a 2017 Baby

HI, ladies

How are you all doing?

Apologies for being so quiet this week. Had a hectic few days back at work, finishing off a textbook manuscript and recovering from extreme headaches and fatigue. Today is two weeks after my miscarriage - Emotionally I am doing much better, physically, as I've said, I just have bad headaches and fatigue. And I think I missed my LH surge. I tested with OPK's this whole week. Got a solid line on Monday and somewhat darker line on Tuesday (But not yet as dark as or darker than control line) and the rest of the week it was faint, except this morning - This morning there is no second line at all. So either I ovulated last weekend, considering the two darker, but not positive tests on Monday and Tuesday, or I missed my surge on Tuesday night (I only tested in the mornings with FMU). The other option is that I did not ovulate at all or will not ovulate at all during this cycle straight after the miscarriage. I am quite annoyed by it, though. I wanted to try again immediately. But it looks like I'll have to wait until after the first AF and the new cycle to come. Bleh!

Here is the tests of the week, so you can see.





Anyway... Looks like there is a lot of ladies expecting AF or BFP round about the same time! FX'ed for lots of BFPs!

@Nikita - Any news yet? Holding thumbs! Feeling better?

@Annabelle - Any updates? Holding thumbs for you! Have you had the chest pain checked out?

@Aladwi - I also scrutinize my tests like that! LOL! I so desperately want to see a line again! Holding thumbs for you!

@MsR - TTC is normally very stressful for our hubbies. I try and share with him with he asks about it, but otherwise, I keep him in the dark. Just to spare him a bit. He is already under a lot of stress, so I tend to vent and rant here on Moomie, where there are ladies that understand what we are going through. You are more than welcome! Did AF arrive for you?

@Liza - I hate it when our bodies are so "deurmekaar" - It drives me insane! So I share your sentiments. Have you considered a blood test? Or are you waiting it out? Holding thumbs for you! I had IB about three days before my BFP in the previous cycle - It was brownish and very scant. Then it cleared up. Got a faint positive on an early prediction pregnancy test and 1-2 weeks pregnant on digital three days later. So it could be IB. Hoping this is your month!

Morning Ladies

@MsR i also have a 28day cycle. Very very regular!

This morning i had a small spot of brown CM and nothing yet again. I do have mild cramping on and off as if AF is about to start but when i look (and i do like 100 time a day) there is nothing ...

I decided to take a test last night and got a BFN. Didn't even think of taking another one this morning it's just to disappointing. If AF has not started by Sunday then i will test again. If this spotting is IB then i still have a chance as i don't think that the test would pick up a + so soon after.

I'm just preparing myself for AF. Why are our bodies so "deurmekaar"!!!!

So CD30 for me today as per FF.

@ Nikita any news? Are you feeling better?

@ Anzel you are very quiet everything still ok?

@ Annabelle i wanted to ask, how long are your cycles usually?

omw! i'm on CD26 atm. I have also just had brown cm. I think its the start of AF. Cramps are not that bad however yesterday I was nauseous to the point that I needed to sleep just to make that feeling stop. severe backache. and its still kind of there.
I'm not sure if this could be IB. I usually have a 26-28 day cycle. so it could just be AF starting

@ MsR i have also stopped with naming the symptoms to DH. Although i think that most of them was my imagination!

@ annabelle i have honestly not even thought about testing. That finality of the BFN just scares the beegees out of me! I'd rather ponder a few more days. That is if AF does not arrive today as scheduled.

Does anyone know how the cervix is suppose to feel when AF is due? Dr Google says it is very wise to test the cervix throughout the cycle?

CD28 for me AF is due today. Symptoms flashes of nausea, headache, feeling hot and cold (flashes) and then the brown cm has stopped totally. On and of mild cramping.

Is it even possible to get IB this late in the cycle?

Hi Ladies,

reading all these posts makes me feel less crazy than I do atm!!
Sometimes I wonder whether I am actually feeling the things I am or do I just want a BFP soo bad!
I stopped telling DH symptoms now, I hate the disappointed in his face every time AF arrives.
so let me rather tell a bunch a strangers that are experiencing the same emotions I am.
I wish our bodies were easier to understand.
AF is due tomorrow however af cramps began 10 days ago just after O. I tested 7DPO and BFN.
I have this constant feeling that AF is there however the last few months I've barely had any af cramps even after AF arrived.
Had the worst backache and TMJ pain since last week as well. that seems o have subsided.
anyway... this is just a waiting game I suppose.

Baby Dust to All

@Liza: Thank you, your symptoms sounds very promising!! and I am with you on the Dr Google, his totally been my friend too lately.
When will you be testing? FX for you!

AFM: CD34 today, same symptoms, but I have chest pain now? whenever i breath i feel a pain in my chest, its the worst ever. still having sticky CM.
haven't been temping but took my temperature this morning and it was 37.1, this is how insane this whole thing is driving me lol.

Hi All the beautiful ladies!

So AF is due today and nothing as yet .... Dr Google has once again won and became my best friend for the past few days

Tuesday evening when i wiped i had a spotting of blood. Nothing yesterday only last night some brownish discharge with a lot of CM. Today once since i wiped i had a little brown. Nothing since. So confused, best is to prepare myself for AF to hit me later today with a bang! I am never late i always tell DH that i can even pinpoint the hour when the with will arrive!
Strange that i have no cramping as usual.

Everyone in the office is sitting with jackets and air cons on heat and i am getting hot flashes! (This is what happens is dr google advises one then you get to pretend that you are PG even if its just for a few hours )

@Aladwi Fertomid tends to mimic pregnancy signs to the T! I do recall when i was using Fertomid AF arrived almost 3 days late as well! The picture is hilarious every one of us here does that!!

@nikita are you feeling better already?

@ Anzel have you gotten that +OPK yet?

@Annabelle fx that the witch skips her visit!
