Dawn's Final Update for Here!

amonstersmomma · #1 November 7th, 2009, 12:10 PM

Current Cycle Stats:
Took a break for Cycle #4 But we're back now =)

Dec 09-Dec 14: AF
Dec 17-Dec 22: Negative Opk in the a.m.
Dec 23: Almost + Opk @ 12 am

Dec 24: O day
Dec 25: Merry Christmas!

Dec 27-3dpo: Started getting cramps in the p.m.
Dec 29-5dpo: Slept for 10 hours last night and still tired this morning. Was super hungry even after eating but I'm usually a pretty big pig after O until AF

Also had a really stuffy nose when I woke up but went away after I got moving around so I'll attribute that to poor circulation or something. Had heartburn all day too. I'm so trying not to read too much into anything!
Dec 30-6dpo: Nausea and dizziness while grocery shopping. Laid down to take a nap at 3pm didn't wake up till midnight

Might be getting sick?
Jan 01-8dpo: No sore boobs yet and I checked last cycle and I got sore boobs at CD 22/7 DPO so it's possible they're still show up. But I'll take it as a good sign that they haven't yet

Jan 02-9dpo: Sore boobs on and off and only sore on top instead of the usual underarm area. Last night I went to bed at 5:30pm woke up at 5:00am this morning then took a nap from 8am-10am and now it's 5:40pm and I could honestly sleep till tomorrow again!
Jan 03-10dpo: Mild AF like cramps on and off; not painful.
Jan 04-11dpo: BFP!!!!! @ 2:30pm
Jan 05-12dpo:
Jan 06-13dpo:
Jan 07-14dpo:

A small intro about me: I am 20 years old and my husband is 21 we're coming up on 2 years of marriage =) My husband is in the army and I'm a STAHW

and go to college through University of Phoenix. We have two furbabies Koda and Milo. My husband has Crohn's disease and the medication he was on to keep it at bay was not TTC friendly so when we decided to TTC he had to get off his medication and stay off for 3 months (May, June, July). In August we started TTC. Hopefully we can get our BFP soon so he can get back on his meds!

Welcome to the board! Keep us posted!

amonstersmomma · #5 November 8th, 2009, 07:03 PM

10 DPO today and lots of creamy CM (I don't think I've ever had CM at all after ovulation). Hopefully it's a good sign! Also seem to be more tired than usual and heading to the bathroom more often, but that could be my imagination.

JessMitch · #6 November 9th, 2009, 07:28 PM

Hey Dawn welcome to the board! I'm also attending UoP! What are you studying?

amonstersmomma · #7 November 10th, 2009, 10:42 AM

Thanks =) I'm studying Accounting; what about you?

amonstersmomma · #8 November 10th, 2009, 04:14 PM

Cycle Day 27 (12dpo) Update: Feeling crampy. Had a bit of brownish sticky discharge (sorry tmi!) that I don't think I've ever had before but don't really know. So I guess AF is on her way or.....I have no idea.......

amonstersmomma · #9 November 11th, 2009, 02:34 PM

Well the

showed today

I'm so frustrated that I really had myself convinced this time
Stupid me

I guess on to Cycle 4 of TTC.
I think I might buy a BBT thermometer for this cycle.......

JessMitch · #10 November 12th, 2009, 11:44 AM

Hey Dawn. Sorry about your bfn! i pretty much convince myself everytime that i'm preggo too! must stop doing that! lol i am in the master program for psychology

amonstersmomma · #11 November 12th, 2009, 12:02 PM

Maybe your classes can help us gain our sanity back

Lol!

denalibear · #12 November 12th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Welcome to the journals!

Sorry AF showed. I highly recommend temping...I learned a lot about my cycles from temping.

Good luck...I hope cycle 4 is your lucky cycle.

denalibear · #13 November 12th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Thanks I hope so too

I just started temping this morning and for some reason it's actually fun Lol.

amonstersmomma · #15 November 15th, 2009, 04:19 PM

Not much to update but AF is over

I started temping on CD 2 and am now on CD 5.
Anxiously waiting to O

Will probably start testing with Opks on CD 10 or 11.

I'm staying optimistic about this cycle

My BFF is coming to visit this Thursday till Dec. 1st. and I've got something planned for each day. I'm hoping that will keep my mind on other things instead of obsessing. During my predicted fertile period we'll be in Fairbanks and Northpole so maybe it'll be lucky for us

jensma · #16 November 15th, 2009, 04:25 PM

Glad the witch left and you are enjoying temping!! It is fun and gets very addicting!! (hehe, i still temp and i've been at it for well over a year now! )

My DH is an accountant too. What do you want to do?? Its a very solid field, esp in this crappy economy!

Good luck this cycle.

I'm so glad to hear that! I haven't really decided what I want to do in Accounting it seems like there are SO many options. I'll probably explore the options a little more after I get my associate degree (next summer!)

amonstersmomma · #18 November 29th, 2009, 07:36 AM

I feel like I haven't updated in ages! My BFF is still here visiting (she heads back home on Tuesday). And we have been soooo busy! It's been so nice to have a fun distraction. I was so relaxed and didn't even think about TTC....no OPKs and no temping. I still had a general idea of when I O'd but we didn't even BD and I wasn't heart broken or annoyed. It was actually nice for us to not think about it and take a break. Even though we haven't been trying very long..... It was still very nice. Right now I am on CD 19 and waiting for AF to arrive...around 9th. Then we can get back to business

I don't think I'm going to temp though. I am totally crazy with sleeping so it was definitely not working out for me. I'll probably jump back into the boards full force after the BFF leaves =) Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving feasts!

amonstersmomma · #19 December 2nd, 2009, 01:11 AM

I am now back! My BFF is on her flight home =( So bittersweet, but it is always nice to get back to your own routine and have the house to ourselves again too. We had loads of fun while she was here and I mentioned in my previous update we didn't worry about BD and it was just a huge relief to have no worries. So I'm still waiting for AF due on the 9th. Now I'm back to being my anxious crazy self again Lol.

So I wanted to share with you all some pictures from my friends visit, but I was far too lazy to upload them to photobucket. So I figured I could just post the link to the album from Facebook =) Photos - Alaska Fall 2009- Early 2010 | Facebook

BTW You're more than welcome to add me =) Just let know ahead of time since I only know everyone by screen names

amonstersmomma · #20 December 9th, 2009, 09:04 AM

Still waiting on my CD 01 so we can start TTC again! I'm kinda glad she's late though because I don't think I could have dealt with her showing yesterday. I had the most god awful bug yesterday. Threw up over 15 times in 4 hours. I finally went to the ER and while they couldn't figure out what the cause was they did make me feel better with some fluids via IV. I'm still suffering from a severely sore chest, back and neck from all the up-chucking but soooo glad the worst is over!
