Twist's TTC Journal


Wanted to have a place to log everything and anything that is going through my mind dring this time so here it goes.

I went off the pill in April (with the intention of not having sex until my wedding in May and also to help my lose a bit of weight. Well we ended up having sex (but I did lose 8 pounds ) but we did not get pregnant. Our plan used to be that we would start to try to conceive in the fall of 2008, but we talked about it and decided I would not go back on the pill after the wedding and just see what happens. Emotionally we are both very ready and willing to have a baby. Being a mother has always been something I just knews I was ment to do, my most important purpose. My DH also wants to be a father and his desire to have a family and be a good dad was one of the main things that attracted me to him. The only area I would say we that we are not totaly prepared is financialy, but I think that is a typical thought, no matter where you are financially. We both have good jobs, live in a nice area (although we are currently in a one bedroom house), and are able to save a bit each month, the thing is that we are also currently paying down tons of student loans and now the remainder on our wedding. Nothing undoable, but still, it makes us worried about what it will mean financialy to bring a baby into our lives. But like I said, I am sure that is a common concern and honestly, I don't want to wait any longer. I turn 30 in less than a month and know that it can take a while to conceive... so ya, were going for it!!


So all of that out of the way,.. down to business.

my last period was on May 18th (it was 4 days late and I thought I might be pregnant, but I think it was just my body getting back to a schedule after stopping the pill)
We did the BD (sometimes twice)on:
May 23rd
May 24th
May 25th
May 26th (Our wedding day!!!)
May 27th
May 28th
May 29th
May 30th
May 31st
June 1st

and nothing since then (to damn tired if you ask me)
According to my chart I should have ovulated around 31st or 1st

Probably silly to say, but we bot really want a girl, I have always thought that i would use the planing the sex of your child based on when you ovulate method (sorry don't know the name of it, or if there is one) I learned about it way back in high school and was amazed that I could influence that! However not really sure what my normal cycle is as I have only been off the pill for one period. So we will see, maybe we got lucky or we may have stopped too early.

Well I am officially in the two week wait and we'll see what happens!

CD 21 today, we BD'ed last night.

So I went to the library yesterday and got a few books on pregnancy as well conception and how to prepare your body etc. So I am sure it is purely a hypocodriatic (yes I realize thats not a real word) response but I feel like I have had at least five of the early signs of pregnancy today lol.

We went to Sainsbury to pick up a few things and while there (which took all of 15 minutes) I felt sick, faint, got a instant crazy headache and then had two really painful stabbing pains in my lower abdomen. Also I seem to have a bladder infection (or what felt like that all morning but now is gone) and I could swear that saw a bit of red when I wiped this morning (implantation bleed???)

So I am probably crazy but thought it was funny anyway.

I'm still not sure how long my cylce is now that I am off the pill, so I guess those "signs" could have been ovulation instead.

Thats all for now!


PS: Diva 4180, Congratulations on your Wedding anniversiry!! Did you just get married this year??

BD again last night

Today I am soooo tired, couldn't get myself out of bed until 1:30 PM!!!!! I think I am still not over the time change from the Dominican.

So today my stomach has been really upset and I have had the worst deep pain in my bum and all down my right leg. I usually get this exact pain on the second day of my period but that is not due for almost two weeks. Not sure what that's all about, but my but is aching like crazy!!!

hmmmmmmm..... could it be a sign???

My body has been in a chaotic state lately. I have been having what can only be described as crazy PMS symptoms,... but Really more like the symptons I get while ON my period, For e.x. insane sudden pains in my lower stomache, frequent episodes of my stomache sortof "rolling" not nausea, but as if I had... diarhea(sorry, TMI I know) plus I am still getting the but pains and leg cramps and I have been insanely hot for the last few days (normally I am ALWAYS cold).

Who knows, it could just be my body getting used to be back in the UK, the time change, the food etc. I guess only time will tell.

7 more days till Testing!!!!!!
