We actually started last night lol :redface: sorry TMI

anyway, we are hoping it doesn't take as long this time as it did for our first baby which ended with a m/c. It took about 5 years to conceive that one, then another 2 years to conceive ds. we both are not smoking this time so i'm sure that will make a huge difference. (i can't even believe we used to smoke ciggaretes, its so disgusting :sick:).

The difference for us this time around is that i'm taking Zoloft for my anxiety issues and hoping it doesn't have any sort of affect on this baby :( My dr assures me that it will be ok, but no one is ever 100% sure.

so its been a while since i have been in the ttc threads, it looks different to last time i was in here :) any suggestions on threads to join? ]]> Conception General Discussion sirenz http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/117423-ttc-2-a.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/117347-implantation-cramps-but-neg-hpt.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:46:03 GMT Hi guys,

Just wanted some thoughts from you guys if possible.
we are TTC and BD many times around ovulation this cycle.
About 7 days after ovulation I felt twinges and slight cramping and have continued to feel the cramps since. Now I feel Ovulation pain every cycle which usually lasts for about 3 days. So i assumed if we were successful i would feel implanatation pain but i have done 4 hpt since and all have been negative.
my AF is due tomorrow so i would've thought if I was successful it would be showing up positive on a HPT by now.
anyway thats fine but im wondering what the cause of the cramps were. (i never get cramping unless its AF or O) Im worried i may have some cysts or something. Or perhaps I just read too much into things!!
anyone else have cramping during the TWW and think you are pregnant then find out you aren't?

the last 2 cycles i have experienced spotting around the time of O. last cycle is was really minimal and (TMI coming up lol) brown 'old' looking spots.

then last night, i went to the bathroom just before i headed to bed and when i wiped there was quite a significant streak of bright red blood. in my horror (yes, i was being dramatic...i was really tired LOL) i wiped again, and again there was quite a bit of red blood. but that was it. nothing on the panty liner overnight and nothing at all today...

sooo, i guess my question is...could this be O spotting, and if yes, can it take all forms (like from brown/pink to red)? Or is it potentially something more sinister? we have been TTC now for close to 9 months (i have history of LTTC and endo, ITH)...

i need to share and get some advice on this one...maybe someone experience what i am right now..DH and I are trying, its our first month.. my cycles are 35 days. My last period came Oct 12th and I started taking OPK Oct 31st took it for a week and never showed me a positive we didnt let that get on the way..so I did my calculations and I was supposed to O between Oct 31st and beginning of November. Yesterday I was supposed to get my period and I didnt, this morning I did EPT and it came out negative :( what is going on?:o Is it too early to test or what? It says results as early as 5 days. Hope is that:pray: Usually 4-5 days before I get my period I get sore boobs and cramps, break out and just know that Im gonna get my period but now no symptoms at all not even sore boobs, just a few pimples.. I thought I had pregnancy symptoms, I been gassy:redface: all week, stuffy nose and from time to time easily irritated, one day I cried outta nowhere!:o I am not a gassy person at all lol and i am usually pretty chill person..soo i dont know what to do now.. I think i should wait like 3 days and test again and if its negative go to the Doc..Also I am thinking maybe I ovulated late and have to wait a bit longer and take a test...idk? Maybe go to the doc and take a pregnancy test? I am going outta my mind! In the week of Nov 20th I traveled from the west coast to the east coast and stayed there for couple of days..maybe thats causing late period or no O? :o or maybe I ovulated while I was there..? I am also taking prental vitamins the cvs brand..but i don't think that should be a problem:o Any ideas or suggestions?

I would love to hear success stories from those who have sought help from a naturopath and/or acupuncturist, particulary in Melbourne.

Yay. :dance: As some also know, I've had a molar pregnancy this year and have had to wait to start TTC again. My next blood test is in early December. It's officially my second last, but as I'll be in Japan for the day I should have the last one, the clinic are happy for me to blow it off.
SO... with those dates, and my cycle where it is, we could start TTC now, and the next blood test would be right on O time, or a little bit after, i.e. would come up clear even if I got pg first go.
BUT would mean being early pg in Japan. No biggie really, with the possible exception of hot baths, and maybe a bit of m/s while we're there. Raw fish not such an issue as I'm veg anyway.

We have already waited so long. Part of me is really keen to get TTC again this cycle. The other part of me is so excited about Japan and would love to just enjoy it without limitations. (and maybe bring back a souvenir!)

The options:
a) start TTC now, full-on
b) hold off now, and go full-on when in Japan
c) not think about it in the slightest and take it as it comes.

What do you folk reckon?

Just having a little vent...... I took a HPT a two days ago.I took the test then took a phone call... It was about 8 mins or so, then I raced back to the bathroom and I saw two lines. The second line was definitely there...

I didn't know exactly when the second line appeared, so I didn't want to get my hopes up (incase it was an evaporation line) I work for a medical supplier, and I can buy pregnancy tests off my work that the doctors use at the GP's.

I must admit, I let myself think I could actually be pregnant.

I took another test this morning to see if the line had gotten any darker, and it was gone. no line.

I knew in the back of my mind that this could be the case and I was never pregnant, but I'm still disappointed.

:(

this has NEVER happened before.
Does this sound like implantation bleeding just to stop then come back with a little later? or something else? It is possible i could be pregnant sine i used withdrawal method nearly every day when i was ov'ing aswell.

I've been starting to thnk about this alot the last month or so and figured what better way to start than post it on here..
Basically I stopped taking the contraception pill in May 07, which is about 19 months ago, and i'm still not regular...(I had been on the pill for about 8 or 9 years with maybe a year gap in the middle), my cycle has been up to day 41 averages about 35-40 and i've had maybe 2 cycles at 28 days that whole time, the last one which was at day 28 was the most pain I have ever experienced in my life (prob my uterus contracting...things to look forward to in childbirth =P ) the bleeds are all the same consistancy, i guess the only differecne is it is random when it comes and random ones will really knock me out but others i wont even notice...
Is this normal? like does the fact its irregular really matter?
I was hoping to chat to my dr about this when i got my papsmear last mth, but my regular female dr (who i have been seeing all my life) is away sick with rumous of cancer, so no one knows when she is coming back if she is at all, and the nurse who did my papsmear said she doesn't do pelvic exams or anything and that was that...so another dilema is finding another female dr i can chat to..
other thing is basically not that we are TTC its just that we are not doing anything to stop it...and we DTD alot (hehe) so the fact nothing has 'accidently' happened yet makes me a little concerned.
should i be concerned?
oh an i am currently day 35 with a BFN...a few times in the last week i'm like...oh yea im going to get my period tomorrow i can feel it...and nothing!
I think I will deff. go get myself checked out properly after the wedding, when we will be actually TTC, but should i just keep on going like I have?

I haven't BDed with hubby (unprotected) since september byt I had this cramping at 4 weeks last time. I'd eight weeks if I was pregnant.

I don't think I am pregnant, but I'm not sure if the cramping is indicative of a problem? It's just like period pain (and so bad periodically I want to lie down - exactly like when I fell pregnant). Can you cramp without getting your period??? It's been nearly 2 years since my last one and I can hardly remember what it was like haha!!

We thought we'd give it one more month using the Shettles method (DTD 3-4 days before ovulation) and still if no luck then DTD right on ovulation, but I was wondering if anyone else has used the method and how long it took to conceive?

Goodluck to everyone :ttc: !!

Does anyone have any experience in cutting out Caffeine all together to achieve pregnancy? Or any information on what Caffeine can do to inhibit pregnancy?

I have read bits and pieces about it, bu would like to know how you ladies dealt with it? ]]> Conception General Discussion kimmi http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/115755-caffeine-its-effects-ttc.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/115626-tww-hmmmm-what-do.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:55:07 GMT According to OPK's and temps I have just O'd, so I'm now in the TWW.

What to do, what to do.

When you have a deadline, two weeks is never long enough, but when you're going through the TWW, it seems like an eternity.

I'm trying to be positive (even though I had an emotional slip up last night including tears and the whole works )

I've got my fingers crossed, toes crossed (and legs crossed) just to make sure it all happens.

If not, there's always next month :)

Not really a question, just a little 'vent'...

Good luck to all the women going through their TWW...

May we ALL be blessed with bebes :pray: ]]> Conception General Discussion kimmi http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/115626-tww-hmmmm-what-do.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/conception-general-discussion/115570-has-anyone-ever-had-cvs-amniocentesis-test-performed.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:58:39 GMT HI Ladies,

I am just curious to find out how many of you have had CVS or amniocentesis tests done?

My DP has an inherited genetic disorder that can cause horrible genetic mutations which both his brother and sister passed away from in early infancy.

I am already 'fertility challenged' and to be honest really frightened of going through with this kind of testing...

In my situation, it will be necessary to undergo this test as in some cases, should I become pregnant, there may be a situation where the baby will be 'incompatiable with life' (doctors terminology.) In these circumstances the baby will not live more than a few weeks and those few weeks will be filled with pain and misery for him or her.

My head is in a bit of a daze actually, I just want to hear your stories, and know how you handled this sort of situation.
