January TTC Chart

[Writinit]

hi Brandi, hope you don't mind the BARGE but I wanted to see how you are doing. Maybe the cycle isn't as confusing as you think. I think many things can affect the CM... so hopefully FF is right on with your O date. I know you must be frustrated.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Thank you Krysi,

Good luck to you all.

I finally got a +OPK today, plus EWCM...and DH will actually be in town tonight! Those 3 things NEVER happen at the same time at my house, so I'm hopeful!

Hi Ladies,
May I join in?
My last two cycles I have ovulated early for me. Today i am Cd9 and I have a postive blood test for LH surge. My follie is 25mm, and the lining is a 7.1mm. I have two more days of estrogen pills so hopefully it will get a little thicker. We had BMS this morning and again tommorrow, and Monday. We are doing all natural cycles. I have TONS of EWCM. Its ALOT! Anyways. good luck to you all.

hello everyone.... just checking in.... today is my birthday.. and a kinda crappy one. ..... i guess this doesnt really have anything to do with ttc- but... i was doing a breast self exam last night... i do them all the time.... and i found a pretty large lump in my right breast. i am so scared right now.... i really can't afford to go to the dr right now.... but i guess i am going to make an appointment....i am freaking out!!!!!!!! i am only 25.... god i hope its not serious.... someone please tell me its just because of my hormones or something.... i check my breasts all the time- probably every other week or so- and i have never noticed this before.... and believe me- its very noticible.... i am so worried now.... . geez what a great way to spend my birthday

Hugs Brandi, I have really cysty breasts and once I ovulate it seems they are much lumpier. Maybe you just have a cyst in there. Does it hurt and can it be moved around a bit, also is it firm or fluid filled feeling? Mine usually hurt a bit and can be moved around a little bit.

Try and have a Happy Birthday

brandi.....hon, don't freak out!!

i also have a hormonal cyst in my right breast, and from when AF is here til when i O, it's very small - not even noticable really. right after i O, it gets huge and very tender. so, maybe don't make the appt just yet.....recheck your breast after you get AF (which hopefully you won't get, but you KWIM). the best time to DO a self exam is 5-7 days after you start your period.

i'm sure it's nothing, but if it is still there after AF arrives, call your MD!

Hi Brandi,
Just want to send you (((((HUGS)))))) and my prayers thta everything will be fine.
Take care and go see a dr.

[Jenn, R.N.]

I would like to join, if that is okay? I am going to try au naturale (very much a long shot) while we wait for our ivf this spring.

I had a d and c for a blighted ovum (natural pg while b/f) on 12/22/06. The ob didn't say I needed to sit out a cycle so I'm not.

Today is the big O day for me. I don't temp. I tried that YEARS ago and it never worked for me. I can tell I O because I get the O pain and the increase in cm.

I wish us all luck for the January cycle.

Brandi, I am sorry about your birthday and your daughter Emily. Emily was always one of my favorite names. I peeked at her u/s photo. I'll bet she was beautiful. About the breast. I agree with the others, probably just hormonal changes. Keep an eye on it and check with your ob if it doesn't go down.

jenn... welcome to our board! and thank you so much for checking out emily's ultrasound pics. that was so very sweet of you to take the time... i love to share my daughter's life with everyone, and the joy she brought me in the short time i shared with her... and for me to be able to share those pieces of her little life with people reminds me that i am still her mommy... i forget that sometimes because it very hard to be a parent to a child in heaven. even though she never took a breath on this earth... she was still very much alive to me. so thank you again for helping me to honor the precious life of my daughter by allowing me to share her pictures with you... and thank you for helping to keep her memory alive . i wish you all the best thru your journey of ttc... hopefully soon you will be moving to the due dates board instead of the ttc board!

sarah, chris and cibele... thanks for helping me to keep my sanity!! i am just so stressed out with this whole ttc thing that every little thing i find wrong with me- i freak out! although the lump thing is a scary situation because it could be serious... ya'll did a great job of calming me down! i will definitely go to the dr next month if its still there after AF arrives, it definitely not something to take lightly... but at least i'm not as terrified as i was before. what would i do without you girls!

writinit... you know you weren't barging.... i don't know how i missed your post the other day! but thanks for in checking on me! how are YOU doing??? take care hon!! and check back in anytime!!
