Baby Fever Club... TTC for week of: 7/25 - 7/31

[LunaAshling]

Hello again and welcome! This is thread number Five. To see last weeks thread go here: WEEK FOUR

A little intro. My name is Angela. I have two boys (12 & 3). I am a homeschooling WAHM. I used to run the "Nummies" thread on breastfeeding here on LCFBB awhile ago if you remember that!

And I have the "fever"!

But I am trying to "control" myself and lose more and get healthier because I have had two high risk pregnancies. And I am sure this would end up being my very last baby.


So please feel free to intro yourself and I will start a list at the top of names and what number you are trying for and post it next week! Each week I will update it!

Allrighty ladies (and SO's)... my plan this week is to do some de-yeasting. Gonna up my coconut oil intake and use my supplements.


My hubby is getting back in the swing of things and just broke in his new weights. And has been sore for a week. Looks like he will be getting back on the lc wagon.


I need to go back through all my pantry stuff and really organize it better. I have stuff piled everywhere and it needs order.




How did everyone's weekend go? It has been so hot the last week and I have felt soooooo dang lazy!!!!!!

[kasia15]

WEll this sunday I was out with my mum, and i had some minor cramps and thought 'bugger there is my AF' well there has been no sign of AF24 hrs later (and it would be early if there was!!) so I am hoping (cross my fingers) that it is a little implantation cramping he he. You have to laugh, as every little sign that I think that maybe I have 'fallen' lol oh well, I have to wait another weekl to test...you never know your luck

Hope everyone has a lovely week

Happy BD'ing he he

Maja's Poor Hubby........... Spending his baby fever days with an ice pack

OMG I was drinking my morning green tea as I was reading this and well it's now all over the monitor . Scary thing is, it's kinda accurate . Plan for this month, taking temps, using OPKs and lots of BD . Now if only AF would go away so we could start "practicing" again .

[lowcarbinmama]

Hi ladies!

Still in the running, no TOM yet, I'm thinking about stopping and buying a test on the way home. **nervous**

[LunaAshling]

WOOOOHOOOO ladies!

I am praying you all get a positive!!!!!!!!!!

[shelly]

LUNA!

Kasia~ I had the implantation cramping with I got pregnant with my son Ethan for a few days and then it just stopped.. Crossing my fingers for you!

Maja! don't you just love your smiley with the whip You got a good plan but don't forget about the restraints

I myself have not tested yet only because my toms have been messed up since having Ethan and I've been getting two a month so I didnt get one on the 11th and my second one usually has been around the end of the month 27/29 so if nothing then I'm thinking maybe I should get one of those handy dandy test

Hi to everyone!!!!! This is a slow thread but that is to be expected with all the fooling around we do


edited to say I really need to lay off all the smileys!

[kasia15]

Hi Shelly, Well I never know my luck, ps feel free to lay of the cartoon smileys, ....but only because you have the biggest real life smiley ever!!! (ethan ofcourse)
(just thought I'd try to catch up)

Well the cramping continued yeaterday but has now stopped, no AF...so fingers crossed.

Did you get a test lowcarbinmama??? how did she go.

I tell you what the more I read about this getting pregnant stuff the more I wonder how it EVER happens

What a complicated business!!

[saltire]

ugh my temp is 99.52, I have been feeling warm and flushed for a week now with my temp around 98 and rising all week so I fear I may be getting sick. I hope this doesn't stop my TTC efforts as TOM is due tomorrow. I would hate to get a fever which would mess up my charting/temping.

[Annie O]

Hi Ladies,

Luna, thanks for adding me to the list and the good wishes! My surgery is Thursday morning.

Good luck to everyone...it seems we're all in different battles, but looking for the same end result!

[janetaz]

Saying a quick hello to everyone. Well, the it's the week before my period and the sugar free chocolate jellos and I have become fast friends.

Sometimes, after reading tons of pregnancy websites, I start imaging early pregnancy symptoms.....let's see, huge appetite, chest hurts, mood swing, bloating, cramps........then, I get my period and it all makes sense.

I hope that I can check in and give personal greetings. It is kinda hard, since I am staying with my sister and borrowing her computer. My DH and I are in the process of relocating and I am already here.

Sending lots of good vibes to our group!!!!

[Aediekins]

I joined the pregnancy thread last year as a TTC member, but due to unexpected life-crap, I had to change that and wait. Now it's looking like we will start TTC Nov or Oct. But I've got some changes I need to make. Quit smoking, drinking (wine-lover) and start excersizing. I havent excersized regularly in at least a year. I got down to goal 140 for one minute and I've been maintaining 143-146 since. My body doesn't like 140.

Anyhow, I'm so tempted to eat doughnuts 24/7 since I'm going to gain weight (granted,baby weight....) anyway. Besides that, I'm glad to see a place to share/vent/gripe and encourage.

I forgot to mention, I'm a mother of a 4-year old and I've lost 25-30 lbs doing low-carb, Atkins. TTC with my second hubby. Custody crap has been holding us up. Anyway- we'll be trying soon.

LOL, been there done that...and it's even worse when you've been on the pill for so many years and every TOM symptom is ten-fold already. The thing that I got as my first symptom that I didn't even realize till later was heartburn....we're talking a week after ovulation. I NEVER get heartburn.....next time I get heartburn I'll know to run to the store for a test, LOL!

P.S. - to the newbies.

Thanks for the welcome!

Off topic-
I have to ask, where are people getting those very colorful signatures that say "SGOTN™" at the bottom?

My health insurance is ready Aug.1st, so we will be a little less careful and see what happens. But we won't officially hard-core TTC for about 3 months.

LOL Thats me!! there is a soulcysters website (for woman with PCOS) that has like 50 pages of woman listing there early pregnancy symptoms!!! After I got to about page 11 I realised that this was REALLY sad he he because naturally I have all the important symptoms and those ones I don't have are easily dismissed

Who came up with this 2 WW business anyhow?? Bad idea I say, couldn't it be a 2 day wait...much more sensible 2 weeks give a gal too much time to make up sysmptoms

.

There is a poster called somegirlonthenet, she is a great girl and really good with the codes, she designed them for the people. If you send her a PM I am sure she will make you one. She just asked me what colours I liked and what I wanted in it.

[Aediekins]

Oh, okay. Thanks. I was curious cause I've started seeing them pop up all over the place.

[lowcarbinmama]

GOT IT!!

My BFP yesterday after 6 months of trying! YAY! EDD is April 4, 2006! I have an appt. with a midwife scheduled for Aug.17th.
