Snowball's TTC Journal

Thought I'd better start one of these as my stay in ttc is getting longer!

We have been ttc again for nearly 4 months after our son was stillborn. Getting a bit frustrated as last time we were ttc it only took two cycles to concieve.

Anyway, it's 22 days after my chemical although I did have a second heavy bleed, a week after my first one, which I'm kind of thinking I should call CD1.

So, I'm either on CD22 or CD15 (how confusing am I?:dohh:)

I had a positive OPK two days ago which was accompanied by lots of EWCM, infact, I can't remember me ever getting anywhere near as much as that before!

EWCM disappeared yesterday so I'm counting today as 2DPO. I don't feel any different apart from a little bloated (probably due to the vast amount of cookies I consumed last night:rofl:).

I'm not hopeful on this cycle as it's so soon after my chemical. The hospital told us to wait for my first af before resuming ttc but to be honest I don't think we'd be that lucky to concieve first go which was why I ignored them:muaha:

WooHooo Snowy!

Let me be the first to welcome you to the journals!!!

Loads a luck for this cycle hun and hope you get your well deserved :bfp: very very soon...:dust::dust::dust:

Aww, welcome to the journals hun...and lots of sticky :dust: for you xx

Hey snowball hun, i am so sorry for your previous losses and hope you get a wonderfull sticky little bean soon. :dust:

Here's to a short but sweet journal xx

Hi hunni, your poor thing having to go thro such a loss. :hugs: Sending u tons of love and luck :dust: :dust: :dust: :dust: :dust:

3DPO

Felt a little crampy this morning but I'm assuming that's still from when I ov'd. Keep weeing, I'd better not have my cystitis back *shakes fist*. I even had to get up to go in the middle of the night. Had a few weird dreams last night also.

Still not thinking this cycle is the one but I think we've given it the best go we can. We DTD the day before my pos, the day of my pos, then we had a night off and then did it again last night. I don't think I've ever been so keen to keep up with my sex life:rofl:

Felt a bit upset this morning because I reaslised that the witch is due to visit on our little angels due date. So it looks like not only will I have to deal with the emotional side of the day, I'll probably have the witch in full swing too.

Nevermind though, I'm determind to get there eventually!

So sorry for your loss.

Hope you get your :bfp: really soon!! :dust:

BIG :hug:

xx

Looks like it will be a tough time for you. You will be in our thoughts hun :hugs: and you can come on here for support.

Just wanted to let you know I did a 'Snowball Special' this morning. Fell asleep with my legs up on the wall, Dh came out of the shower and laughed at me. Think you've started a trend!!!

:hug:

4DPO

Still a bit crampy today. The cramps feel like they're right at the front of my pelvis, a bit like when I had SPD but only mild. Had more vivd dreams last night and then was woken at 6.15am by our son screaming. Long gone are the days of my Sunday morning lay in:rofl:

uh *shivers* I had BAD SPD too! Don't want that again next time round! here's hoping for your BFP xx

LMAO @ Snowball special :rofl: Hope your having a good weekend hun! Made a little prezzie for ya! :hugs:

Thanks for that Suzanne, I've added it to my sig :D

5DPO

Had another vivid dreams last night and still a bit crampy on and off but I think that's because I'm paying too much attention to my body at the moment:rofl:

My maternal side has got the better of me and I've decided that on Saturday I'm off to buy some Goldfish:rofl:

Hi Snowball,

Im loving the journal. Im very sorry for your losses :hug:.

Hoping that your journal brings a nice sticky :bfp: soon.

:dust: :dust: :dust:

Hope the cramps mean that a little bean is implanting!

Lots of luck for this cycle hun!

:hug:

Yaya xx

Hi hun. :hugs: really hoping this is your month for a :bfp: and hoping the cramping is a bean implanting!

here's some dust for your journal hun:

Fingers crossed for you that the cramps are a good sign. Deserve a BFP hun....x.

PS. Sorry to inform no more 'Snowball Specials' since Sat.....!!!!

Went to the loo tonight and when I wiped there was some white EWCM. I know it's not fertile EWCM as I do OPK's after I ovulate to keep my POAS obsession at bay :blush:

I never get CM after ov. My body is weird!

I know what you mean. My body is very weird too. I'm hoping your cramps are a good sign for you!

Sending you loads of :dust: :dust: :dust: :dust:

ooh you know what they say about increased cm hun. :hugs:

Hi hun,

Just dropping by to see how you are. Hmmmm loads of CM I got loads when I had my :bfp: hope that its a sign for you too!!

Wishing you loads of luck :dust: :dust: :dust:

When are you looking at :test:???

I don't think I'll test until I'm at least 14DPO, weirdly that is our sons due date so I might leave it a bit longer if she doesn't arrive.

6DPO

Cramps have stopped and nothing exciting happening. My temp did drop from 36.93 yesterday to 36.63 this morning. I doubt it means anything though.

Not long then.

Ive not had an anniversary to deal with yet. I'll be thinking of you next wednesday. :hug:
Im :test: on 21st so hopefully we'll both be having good news!

Sounds like perfect timing for an implantation dip hun! Fingers x!!

Yaya xx

Just stopping by to wish you luck and lots of :dust: :dust:

:hugs:Hey!! WHere is this morning's temp?????!!!

Morning, things looking good for ya. Really hope you get a BFP this month...x.

I couldn't get this mornings temp because my son woke me up at 4am:cry: Typical isn't it?

7DPO

I have 2 spots, one on my chin and one on my forehead. I don't usually get spots until during or after the witch has visited! Feel a bit odd in my stomach, I'm a bit constipated and achey. My boobs are feeling sore today.

It could of course be a sign that the witch is pending, I hope not!

I have just given the :witch: a faulty sat nav so hopefully she will stay away from you!

fingers crossed that the spots and bloating are linked to a :bfp: !

:hugs:

Snowball - I hope these are good signs leading to a :bfp:
Fingers crossed for you hun!

wishing u tons and tons of :dust: goodluck!!!

Good luck I have my fingers crossed for you!

8DPO

Could barely drag myself from bed this morning. Had a really long vivid dream and when I woke up I could remember every bit of it. It was actually very simular to one I had a few months ago, I could have even been pregnant at the time I had it but I can't remember. CM has increased a little but I think I've only noticed it because I've been looking out for it. My spots have gone down and I've been a little crampy. My boobs are still feeling heavy today.

If my first bleed would have been CD1 then it means the witch is due tomorrow. I really hope not!

I hope not too Snowball. Will keep my fingers crossed for you...

Good luck...x.

I'm hoping the :witch: stays away!!

Hope the skanky :witch: stays away :ninja: XXX

fingers crossed for you hun. increased cm is a good sign though - my cm always dries up just before af arrives chick. :hug:

Hi

Ive been having the strangest dreams too!!?? Really hope that the Bitchy :witch: stays well away. Best of luck for a :bfp:

Hope you're ok and the nasty ol' witch has stayed outta town....x.

9DPO

The witch is not here yet today which is a good thing. I felt a little crampy this morning and after lunch but that's gone. I've been really gassy (aren't I attractive?:rofl:) since last night, my stomach is so bloated because of it. I suppose from today onwards everyday the witch doesn't get me is a bonus. Temp is still high at 37.07. I've also had weird feelings at the front of my pelvis, sometimes it's achey and make it feel asthough it's going soft.

10DPO

Boobs really sore today, had to put a bra on as soon as I got out of bed. Have been in a horrible mood this morning so I think the witch is winging her way here:( CM seems to have dried up and I'm bloated. I defo think I'm out this month :(

Its not over until she actually lands and gets off her broomstick hun.....fingers crossed for you xx

Its not ovber til af shows hun, did u take ur temmps?
the witch just left me but she has strict instructions to avoid u at all costs!!

11DPO.... or is it 10DPO?

I'm now starting to think I'm a day behind what I think I am. I had the pos OPK on 06.08.08 but had cramps on 07.08.08-08.08.08. I've confused myself now. Temps were up at 37.04 yesterday but have fallen to 36.53 today :( I had major mood swings yesterday. Woke up in a foul mood, decided to leave my DH. Packed everything in the car with the kids and drove off before he got home from work. I got halfway to where I was fleeing too, cried my eyes out and then came back. I was a bit of an emotional wreck yesterday:blush:

I have tingling bbs and am still very gassy. I thought the reason why I was so gassy was because I was eating crap but I ate healthily yesterday and still am bloated and gassy this morning. I have still been having the 'soft' feeling at the front of my pelvis. Last night was the first night in months I was so tired I had to go to sleep before midnight, I was so exhausted.

I'm sure the dip means the witch is coming though. I'm expecting her here either today or tomorrow, it's not fair:hissy:

TMI warning!

Just went to the loo and when I wiped there was quite a bit of yellow/clear snot type CM. I wonder if that's the witch starting to rear her ugly head because I have had a temp drop today :(

Hey snowy just dropped by to see how your doing.

Sorry to hear about yesterday, how mad is that, I am just like you..completely over react one minute and calm down the next, my dh says I am a hormonal cow all month!!

Its interesting you should say about this 'soft feeling' at the front of your pubic bone I too am experiencing this....I wonder if it something to do with having like 3 kids, cos we are both trying for number 4. I had it in july before I m/c and then again just after O this cycle, sometimes accompanied with shooting pains down the inside of one or two legs, depends on how it feels I think!

anyways its not long till you test or af now so Just wanted to wish you luck babe xxx

Ps I will be stalking your journal now to keep an eye on those 'soft feelings' to see if anything develops for you!

Hi Snowball,
Just wanted to pop into your journal and wish you luck. Sorry to hear about your loss - that must have been devastating.
I don't know much about temps, but cm is definitely a good sign. Glad you came back home after your meltdown yesterday. if it's any consolation, we all get that way sometimes.
Hope :witch: doesn't show today.
:hugs:

:dust::dust::dust::flower:

Hey hun, yes I suffered quite badly SPD in my last pg, it came on about 3/4 months and I had to wear a support belt thing uptil the end and was on crutches for the last 3 weeks. In the end they had to take me and induce me 2 weeks early as I couldnt take it no more!!

To be honest, Ive felt the odd twinge now and agian but seems to be rearing its head again lately, like last month when I was pg but m/c'd and again now....weird hey!

I just know when I do get pg again its gunna wreak havok with me:cry: but will be worth it!

Good luck for this cycle sweetie xxxxx
