looking for TTC Friends #2
i posted and didn't know where it went the other posts are too full so i just made a continuation. I feel really ****** today I guess all weekend i feel like AF is coming my stomach hurts and ovaries my breast hurt not so much today though. The taste of toothpaste this morning almost killed me. Well let the countdown begin. AWEE sorry for AF. Ashort and Kurvi we are neck to neck. I don't want to test though i'm nervous. Why women have so many issues, thats why i want a boy! LOL Any symptoms update so far?
Ok... thanks for making a new post. It would take like an hour for my computer to load the other one. lol. No new symptoms here! Still have sore bbs though. How about everyone else?
well i am so confused right now. I was having serious stomach pain i eat about an hour ago a grilled cheese sandwich and tea. Pain in ovaries and stomach went away now its back again maybe i'm hungry again that is definitly good sign.

thanks ashleighnb... we should get everyone to come to this thread... and start over. Do you have any new symptoms?
Nothing too different, still have the increased CM and the soreness in my bbs is mostly around the nipple and sides now. Had a little bit more cramping in the middle of my pelvic area earlier but that is about it.
Yea we should tell everyone to come here.

The only thing that I am feeling right now, bloated...tired and yesterday I had some pressure across the lower part of my belly and some slight cramps....Good Luck Girls!!!
hello my name is kathleen. Me and my fiancee have been ttc for about 6 months now. I'm suppose to get my period on Saturday. But the thing is we went to Virginia this weekend and the whole time in the car I felt really car sick and I NEVER feel like that in the car. And I'm having really weird cravings. And my boobs hurt alot and I have cramps like I'm getting my period and what not. And I have alittle bit of red/brown blood so I don't know. I just want to be pregnant so badly.
Oh I agree this post is soo much better. Now I don't have to go do something for 5min and wait for it to load.

Hi Everyone,
I'm back from my wee work trip and wow! I feel like I've missed alot. I am so sorry to hear that AF showed up for Kurvi and Ashort. Sorry guys, it just plain sucks doesn't it. Thank god for this forum. It helps to talk/write to you guys and speculate, worry, ask question and b***h about the ruthlessly persistent AF is in her unwanted visits.
Welcome ltlyncutie87 and ad_06. I hope you both get lucky in this ttw!
ltlyncutie87 - do you temp? or know where you are at in your cycle?
how are all you other ladies doing? I read your posts in the old forum and some of you sounded like you were having promising symptoms...but i can't remember which lady was having which symptom now! Grr.
ashleighnb - an increase in cm sounds promising!
thanks silirama78 for setting up this new forum.
silirama78 and lamb 18: food aversions can be a sign (toothpaste for silirama and tea for lamb). so I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is it for all you guys.
In fact I hope this is it for all you ladies! And ashort and Kurvi - next month will be our month!
In response to the earlier wedding posts ...Yeah, Wedding budgets are a bugger. We're very lucky. My mother insisted on us having a wedding and is generously paying for it. (Oct 25) Otherwise, dh and I would just go to city hall instead. We have a fairly large budget but we are trying to use the money to pay our friends in their respective careers (ie, my costume designer friend is making my dress) or support good causes (we're doing the shindig at a old barn and church on a conservation park so that the money goes to the park). We know we are very blessed in the whole wedding thing which is really odd considering neither of us ever wanted a big wedding. But I'm sure it will be amazingly fun just like all your weddings!
So I'm going to induge in one glass of wine tonight and cheer all you ladies to a future of BFP's and lovely Fall Weddings!

I tried to temp once and then forgot about it. I bought a ovulation kit on a website and it tells me when you have intercourse. But we didn't do it everyday we were suppose too. And it says I ovulate on day 15. But I have been spotting a light red. Breast hurt alot, weird cravings, peeing ALOT!
ltlyncutie: It's best to check your CM and use your kit every month because your ovulation day can change from month to month depending on stress, etc. It's your luteal phase (the phase after you ovulate) that remains consistent from month to month. So, for example, if your period is quite late one month but you aren't pregnant...that's a good indication that you ovulated later in the month.
By checking your temps, CM and temps every day...you can gather a more accurate understanding of your cycle. You will know when to expect your period, you will know if your temps are sky-rocketing or are triphasic (both of which are sometimes indications of pregnancy).
It's tough to go by symptoms alone because many early pregnancy symptoms are often quite similar to pms symptoms. For example, one of my friends always spots four days prior to the arrival of her AF. For me, my breasts usually hurt 1-2 weeks before AF. And I always have weird craving when I'm in the 2WW. That being said...Those symptoms can definitely be early pregnancy symptoms!! The spotting could be implantation bleeding and if your bb's don't normally hurt before AF...that could also be sign! Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you for your help. It's hard to have sex all those days, because my fiancee sometimes does want to do it all that time haha. But I will def. start doing my temp. do I have to use a special thermometer? and i'm sorry but what does CM & 2WW stand for? I don't know what alot of those mean. I feel like an idiot asking but it's been then not knowing. And my breast sometimes hurt before my period. But I know I'm getting it because I can feel the cramps coming : ( why does it have to be so hard for the people that WANT to get pregnant. And it's been really hard the last year for me because alot of women I work with were pregnant in 2007 and I felt like I was the only one who wasn't.
HI girls! I just wanted to srop in for a few minutes. I have a board meeting to go to for work tonight so once again I won't be home too much.

nice to meet everyone! I hope af doesn't show but I know it probably will. I want to be pregnant so bad. Everyone I talk to says not to stress out and not to think about it. WHICH is hard to do. I just want to thank everyone for there help.
lylncutie87: I know the BDing (intercourse) on specific days is kind of a pain in the a**. But it can also be fun!
No problem about the terminology and abbreviations. There are so many and they are crazy to learn.
2ww (two week wait - this refers to the two week luteal phase that occurs after you ovulate)
CM (cervical mucus - as you approach your ovulation day, you probably notice the appearance of mucus *down there*. At the beginning it might be sticky or tacky, as you get closer to ovulation it becomes creamier and you are your most fertile when it there is an abundance of lubricant egg white cervical mucus [ewcm], checking your cm can help you determine when you are the most fertile)
BBT (basal body temperature... this is your morning temp. you do need a special basal thermometer. they are about 12 bucks at the pharmacy. remember to temp at the same time every morning, make sure your mouth is closed when sleeping, that you haven't moved about yet and you've had at least 3 hours sleep.)
TTC (trying to conceive)
CD (cycle day)
Google Fertility Friend, they have a great website that is packed with info and they will allow you to do free chats online.
ashort: I know! It's such a bummer to analyze all those signs and then Boom! Af arrives! But, seriously, I can't help myself. I analyze them like crazy anyways. It sucks. I don't know if it will help you but I chart my symptoms as well - that way I can look back and say, ok! I was experiencing something like this last month. Still, there's always something new that just makes you wonder.
Alright. That's it for me tonight. I'm going for a walk because the weather is BEAUTIFUL here today. ciao.
