Jamielynn and Chatterbox,(any other recent BFP girls)

wishingxxx · #1 June 25th, 2008, 02:31 AM

I was wondering if either or both of you had any signs pointing to pregnancy that you hadnt had before with IPS.
Im just curious,it would be good to read if you felt anything different this cycle,even something really insignificant that you remember?
There should be a PG symptom rule book lol.

PS.....Hope this ok to post here?

Also,just wanted to ask if you both thought AF was coming as usual?
I want to add as well,that i just chose Jamielynn and Chatterbox because they were most recent,if any other

girls are reading this ,feel free to add your experiences,and sorry i left you out!!!

I want to know as well. Plus anything you did differently. Did you stand on your head? Anything that'd help!

wishingxxx · #3 June 25th, 2008, 05:56 AM

LOL@stand on yur heads

if u did im not sure i'll be getting a

anytime soon lol.

Chatterbox · #4 June 25th, 2008, 06:05 AM

LOL - well they didn't ask me to stand on my head after the IUI, but I did have to lay still for about five minutes. I did it longer because why not?

As y'all know, I did the clomid with the IUI and trigger. I don't get to have a romantic story like Jamie...lol. Although, DH and I did get to come home and DTD for the first time in four days since we had to wait on the IUI.

As far as things that were different...well obviously, I was SUPER emotional the week before I got my BFP. Remember my meltdown and PO'd posts...lol??

I'm usually emotional, but I think in hindsight I was more emotional than normal. My super dry skin that is seriously flaky, got super oily. It's still pretty oily, and my acne is clearing up. (My dermatologist said it would) My CM was more abundant than I remember, and the day I tested, my BB's started getting sore all over again. It was weird though because it was like an overall sore and was worse throughout the day. They get sore before AF, but it goes away several days before AF came, so that made me go huh? I had some nausea during the 2WW, but I just attributed it to my sinuses because when I have sinus drainage, that's what happens.

I can't think of anything else. If I do, I'll let y'all know. I can't wait to see BFP's from y'all!!!

I noticed that you seemed more emotional as well. Not in a bad way, just more emotional. My skin is usually really dry too though it gets oily from time to time. My complexion was fantastic what I was pregnant though. My co-workers would tell me how jealous they were because they didn't have that luck. I bet you'll hear it too!

I'm glad you didn't have to stand on your head because I don't know how.

wishingxxx · #6 June 25th, 2008, 08:30 AM

I also noticed you were very emotional,to be honest i hadnt really noticed you on this board before you started sending your emotional emails lol.
I think we can let you off though

I knew I was emotional. I really thought that we were going to be done and not have any other options open to us. That just tore me apart and was at the center of my big emotional meltdowns. My acne is purley hormonal and it's nice to see it start to clear up. My skin hasn't been clear since the beginning of November 2006, so this is a BIG deal for me.

I'm usually pretty quiet on the boards, even though I do respond to posts. I don't usually make a lot of my own topics though...lol. I just didn't have anyone else to talk to about this stuff. My poor DH didn't know how to make it better and I started freaking out once the cramps started and it put me in a serious funk!

Y'all really don't know how much I truly appreciate the support and y'all putting up with my meltdowns and my roller coaster emotions. It really helped me to vent and not internalize everything.

I'm so happy you got your

You must be so relieved

Now that you're mentioning those posts, I kind of remember them too. Glad it was all for a purpose!

We used pre seed which we have used for a few months. We also BD on our sides. We always do it the same way when we BD because the Dr. told us missionary style was best. Well this time we switched it up and tried not to think about BD. We also BD 3 nights in a row around O time. For the most part we would do it every other day like our Dr. said. I am preatty sure we got pregnant the night of our 4th wedding anniversary outside on our trampoline under the stars while we were watching a movie on our portable dvd player

As far as PS i had a few. My boobs itched so bad and when i would itch them they would burn and hurt. I was also so tired. Even going out and going shopping would kick my butt. Thats not like me at all. I am a mover and i am always on the go. I even had a hard time at the gym.

Ok here is something else i thought i would share for all the Christian girls here. There is a bible verse it's Matthew 18:20 and there is another one to that talks about when 2 or more people come together in Christ name and pray it shall be done.
Well My DH and i were in married couples sunday school class 3 weeks ago. The pastor of or group said he wanted to put the verse to a test and asked if anyone wanted to be prayed with. I raised my hand and shared my story about ttc. The group prayed for my Dh and i. They all took turns. I could feel God's power right then and there and here i am pregnant 3 weeks later!

So i owe it all to God

MamaAnna · #10 June 25th, 2008, 11:29 AM

Well... I think it's safe to say we won't be doing anything on a trampoline... We don't have one and we live in a city... I'm glad that it worked for you though!

Jlynn · #11 June 25th, 2008, 11:35 AM

lol...We have alot of trees around our house and we were really sneaky. I felt like i was in highschool all over again..lol It was a fun time.

IamMom · #12 June 25th, 2008, 11:36 AM

Jlynn - that is a wonderful story - I do truly believe it is in God's hands.

Jlynn · #13 June 25th, 2008, 11:38 AM

Thank you

So do i!!

*becky* · #14 June 25th, 2008, 01:29 PM

OMG!! (I'm visioning everyone going out and buying a trampoline!!)

I think this cycle we're going to BD everyday before O...we have been doing every other day and then I looked at my pg chart from Bailey and realized we BD'd everyday for 3 days before O

wishingxxx · #15 June 25th, 2008, 01:35 PM

Jamie, that is so nice!
Thankyou for sharing.

lol..It wasn't really that Trampoline!! I just had to add that!!

I think that would be best. I know that BD 3 days in a row helped us!

I have a friend that told me she always got pregnant by waiting till she got a positive OPK and then they DTD 4 days in a row. Neither were allowed to do anything to themselves until the positive OPK. She swore all of DH's sperm got saved up that way. We tried that last month and it didn't work for us (but maybe we did something wrong - who knows). This month we are just going with the flow and enjoying ourselves- truthfully my whole ovulation and everything is later than normal and very different than normally. We will see what happens.

MamaAnna · #19 June 26th, 2008, 03:07 AM

That's what my OB recommended for us. Once we know O is pending just stop. Then when we get the positive OPK BD 5 days in a row. That way everything is stored up and we hit the entire fertile window. The tricky part is trying to get DH to BD 5 days in a row! He just doesn't have that kind of energy.

Lo_and_Behold · #20 June 27th, 2008, 08:42 AM

I hear that! Mine is only 30, but he works a lot & has a good deal of stress. So he doesn't have the stamina like he used to. He's usually good for a multi-round evening, but to keep that up for nearly a week is too much.

Jamielynn- I'm thinking maybe the trampoline helped change things up a bit...add some spice to things & that helped make the difference. I've heard it can help with ttc if both partners are extremely "aroused".

I guess we don't all have to buy trampolines, but maybe changing things up a little could help!
