Trying To Make Some Babies!!

This is my TTC blog.. I have had 2 children and 2 miscarriages and this time isn't so easy..

Truth.

[workingmomlife]

I haven't posted in awhile.. Seriously trying to relax this cycle. Haven't been using OPKs or anything but we have been having sex. Not daily though. Probably should have had more but oh well. I think my periods due next weekend? It's nice not knowing. If I pull up my calendar I'll know for sure but for now I'm trying to get through the 2nd half of this cycle without being a crazy symptom spotter.

[workingmomlife]

So as much as I'm trying to avoid thinking about this cycle and how I'm not pregnant, everyone is seriously pregnant. I cannot wait to be pregnant again. But I am at peace that I'm not counting cycle days or using OPKs. I had about a week of cm and so we had been doing it and That's all there is to it this cycle. I only know the cycle day if I check the calendar and it's a wonderful feeling. I think I can continue being carefree this cycle because we have family coming for the next 2 weeks. That should help me stay occupied and busy with something besides am I pregnant or not.

The most accurate thing ever

[workingmomlife]

I have no idea what cycle day it is. I could figure it out if I gave it a minute but I refuse to do that this cycle. This cycle is about relaxing. I've had some EWCM and so we're doing our thang. If I can keep up this carefree attitude all month, I will be ecstatic. I don't want to symptom spot, I don't want to guess or early test. What I want is to either wake up one day and get my period or wake up and realize wait a second, where is my period. That is my goal this month. I may be limiting my posting but if I can get through one month of just relaxing and not obsessing, maybe I can reevaluate this whole baby making process and make it more enjoyable and less stressful. Wishful thinking!!

[workingmomlife]

I can't be the only one who thinks like this..

Had I conceived the first cycle, I'd be half way through the pregnancy and know if the baby is a boy or girl.. Had my first miscarriage not happen, I'd have an 8 month old.. Had my second one not happen, I'd be 2 months into the pregnancy. 😭😩😔😕

[workingmomlife]

Haven't really updated... Still on my period... Still not pregnant. That's all. Cycle 6 after 2 miscarriages.. Maybe 3rd times a charm.

Proud of you, Leo! You did it !

[workingmomlife]

I think I'm going crazy.

I have been crying all day. I'm not having the usual heavy bloat I get on the first day of AF and it's not heavy.. I just want to move on but my body keeps giving me stupid hope. Depending on how it the flow is the rest of today and tonight, I may cave and take a test in the morning. This is seriously ridiculous. I'm not pregnant.. But I sure as hell am desperate to be. Why is it not easy for me this time?! 😔

CD28

AF is still missing… Like seriously where the heck are you?? I ovulated CD12 or 13… Only time my cycles have been 28 or 29 days is if I ovulated CD15 or 16.

I didn’t want to waste my last test because I’m thinking AF is coming. But nothing! I may use it later today… And it still no AF tomorrow, I’ll just use the strips.

Please just show up already so we can try again… And if I am pregnant, please show yourself so I can be excited!

[workingmomlife]

Right after I posted, I got bad bloat going… Looks like AF may be coming today after all. Won’t waste a good test today. I’m pretty sure AF will show today but if for some weird reason she doesn’t, I’ll test tomorrow morning. 😔

[workingmomlife]

Ahh AF arrived. Guess I just had to be a little patient 😕. I'm sad and frustrated and I'm beginning to lose hope.

AF just arrived 😐 I sort of knew it was coming but it’s still a real blow. Thank you for all the support this month everyone, fingers crossed for next cycle.

I’m sorry :( could possibly be implantation though? That second line looked pretty good yesterday. I had implantation start just one day before my period, then spotting for 3 days.

[mrstudorlewis]

I had hoped so but it’s too heavy and was accompanied with a really strong sharp abdominal pain, much worse than in used to. I think it was a chemical pregnancy which is absolutely devastating but comforting at the same time.

It’s the closest we’ve ever gotten but I can’t help but feel like I lost the poor little thing. Definitely going to need some major comfort food over the next few days!

[workingmomlife]

Aww so sorry!!! 😢 I know how frustrating it is each time.

[mrstudorlewis]

Test from this morning. Any thoughts?

[workingmomlife]

I don’t like using these tests cuz they aren’t as clear when the lines are faint but I definitely see the line!!!!

[mrstudorlewis]

AF still hasn’t arrive and I’m 2.5 days late now. Might try and hold off if I can and test on Monday. Fingers crossed

[mrstudorlewis]

I tried a red test but didn’t get much of a result (though it was a cheapy so don’t know how accurate it is!) I have never been as in tune and aware of everything in my body as I have in the last three days! Just wish my uterus would make a decision now!!

[workingmomlife]

That’s how I am right now! Either tell me I’m pregnant or start AF already!! But your tests are looking positive at least.

[mrstudorlewis]

Fingers crossed for both of us. I’ve read a few stories online of women not getting a positive until over a week after AF was due. So you never know.

[workingmomlife]

Ya I read the actual science and implantation can take 4-5 days after it starts and then another couple of days to start producing hcg so can be as late as 19dpo to show! Haha I've done so much reading it's ridiculous. I just hope that if I am not pregnant, then my period comes asap so I can move on to the next cycle!

[nestingmama]

me, late for my period: MAKE A DECISION, UTERUS!

my uterus: ……….

[mrstudorlewis]

This is exactly how I feel right now!
