Hello ladies

I'm new here, and thought I'd start a journal. I am 30, my OH is 37.

I got pregnant (unplanned) in September but lost the baby at 5 weeks. I have always had an extremely regular cycle of 27.5 days, so if I got my period on Friday night one month, it would be Friday morning 4 weeks later, then Thursday night etc. Very convenient for making plans. But the miscarriage changed all that and my cycle was all over the place so I started charting in October to get an idea of what was happening with my body. I now have a cycle of anywhere from 21 days to 26 days, but my luteal phase is usually 12 days (occasionally 11 or 13). Another thing that changed is that while I never used to have pms symptoms (other than cramps on the first day), now I get a lot. My bbs get a size bigger and are very painful, I feel weepy, I often feel nausea and lightheaded. Basically it will make it more difficult to recognise pregancy symptoms when they arrive.

We had decided to wait a while before we started trying, so charting was a great way to avoid pregnancy. We would use condoms before I ovulated and then not need to worry until the next cycle. Well, that was the idea, but for the last few months, OH decided that the withdrawal method would be fine... then last month I got a tummy bug and thought that maybe I was pregant - his response: that would be great!!!

So this month we have not used any kind of protection and we have been at it like bunnies all month I am 7dpo and in the tww, so my symptoms so far this month:
sore nipples (unusual, it's usually my bbs that hurt, and they don't hurt at all)
frequently peeing (up every 2 hours in the night)
weird dreams

I won't test unless AF is late and I go past 13dpo (7days to go)... here's hoping this is my month

Baby dust to all of you

I'm 8dpo now and the list of real or imaginary symptoms is growing...
Last night we went out with some friends and while we were walking home I had some weird cramps, that have continued on and off. Maybe implantation??? So much for not getting my hopes up. I also have what I'd like to say is a metallic taste in my mouth, but it's more like the aftertaste when milk has gone off. Not very pleasant. And I'm feeling very tired. But that could be because we got in quite late last night. Think I'll have a

Welcome to BNB, i don't know if i should say to TTC or first Tri yet thou...
Hope you get that soon..

Thanks Jacky... hopefully I'll be moving over soon

9DPO today, and starting to get twitchy wanting to do tests. I will try my best to hold off till Tuesday.
Nipples are no longer sore, bbs are hurting now, but that has become normal for me before AF, so I won't read too much into it. I fell alsleep after posting yesterday and only woke up 3 hours later Not much work happening.

Had a bad night last night. OH sent me a message saying he'd be working late and would let me know what time he'd be home. Just before I went to bed, I signed onto messenger to see if he was still at work, no reply there so I figured he was on his way home and went to sleep. Woke up at 12:30 and he wasn't there. No message to say where he was. I sent a text asking if he was ok. No reply. So I'm thinking that something terrible must have happened, and getting really panicked. It's just not like him. At 1am he comes in fall down drunk and can't understand why I'm upset - it was just a few drinks in the pub with his friends. So I just start crying uncontrollably, half because I'm angry, and half because I'm just so relieved that he's ok. Anyway, crying allways makes me feel sick and headachy and between that, the fact that I'd slept for 3 hours in the afternoon and the bozo sleeping next to me snores when he's drunk - I didn't get much sleep.

10dpo

I usually have a 12 day luteal phase, sometimes 11, sometimes 13. Which means AF is due on Sunday and could start tomorrow or Monday. So I was planning on waiting until Tuesday when I'd be officially late.... but it's soooooooooooo hard. I checked my tests, and they say can detect pregnancy from 2 days before menstuation is due... THAT'S TODAY. So I want to test, but I already missed the FMU

Symptoms have just about dissapeared. Except I did have another weepy session last night And I'm still getting up a few times during the night. Somehow not feeling very positive about this month anymore

I wasted a test I kind of expected it to be negative, but it's still sad to see But then it was early, and it wasn't my FMU. so maybe...

I'll try again in a few days

I calculated wrong yesterday... a 12 day luteal phase means AF is due on Monday and could start Sunday or Tuesday... so yesterday was a day too early for the test I took I'll take another one tomorrow.

My temps are still high, so I don't need to worry about AF arriving today Been feeling crampy, which is unusual - I usually get bad cramps but they start the first day of AF, not a few days before. Hoping that's a good sign.

Symptom wise not much to report. I only got up once in the night to pee, so frequent urination can't be on the list anymore :sad: Breast are slightly tender, but that's normal for me. I've was a bit shakey and nauseous a few times yesterday, like a low-blood sugar attack, but I get that on and off anyway. So really nothing that could make me saw YES I'M PREGNANT.

We're off to the park for a picnic today I love sunny Saturdays!!!

Have a great day

Well your temps do look good. Good luck with your test - I hope you get a BFP!

12 dpo

I woke up this morning and took my temperature VERY apprehensively. It was 36.9 So then I lay in bed, wondering if I should test or not. It's such a misery to see a negative and a waste of money. I lay there until I REALLY needed to pee, then decided to test. I watched the die pass over and no line, the control line appeared immediately. So there I am trying to get over my dissapointment and to persuade myself that it's still early and some people only get a positive 4 days after AF is due, when I look again about 30 seconds later and I thought I saw something. And 10 seconds later there was a very faint second line.

Ok it was very light, but a line is a line right??? And it's purple!!! I know that a lot can still go wrong and I lost my last bean at 5 weeks, but I'm soooooo excited. I'm going to test again tomorrow, and on Tuesday - and maybe everyday until I feel movement so that I can be really sure. But for now I'm very happy.
