tahmed- when you were complaining about not getting AF and cramping my first guess was that you were pregnant but you were so sure that I thought maybe you already where told no or something, seeing as I just started coming on this thread I wasnt sure. I had cramping like my period was coming wtih both my children. Congrats its exciting isnt it. The cramping (from my understanding) is from implantation.0
-
Oh my gosh - so much happened today!!!
Tahmed - CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you. You probably already told your husband or are right now since it's later.
What an exciting day for you. :flowerforyou:
Mary the Ice Cube - I hope your appointment goes well. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties but am inspired by how positive you are. Once your labs come back, at least you might have a better idea of what's going on.
To all of our military or military wives - I give you all the credit in the world. You all give up and do so much for the rest of us and don't even get the credit for these things nobody even thinks about. Thank you for all you and your families do. :flowerforyou:0 -
it may be that it was a false positive too right? I hear that happens sometimes.
Not sure how often that happens, but I had all the signs & symptoms of being pregnant...0 -
Mary the Ice Cube - I hope your appointment goes well. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties but am inspired by how positive you are. Once your labs come back, at least you might have a better idea of what's going on.
Thank you! That's what we're hoping. We still very much want a child together. Keeping hope alive. 0 -

I second your comment about military wives. I am so thankful for all that you sacrifice for our freedom. I cant imagine how tough it must be.
Yes, I told my husband. I actually left work at 1:30 and went to a jewelry store and bought a ring. Then I went to target, and got a really romantic card, and a second pregnancy test (just to be 100% sure). I came home and woke him up (he works nights, so he sleeps during the day). I gave him the card first, and then gave him the ring. He asked me what all this was about. I told him "every time you wear the ring, I want you to remember the moment you found out that you were going to be a dad"! He jumped up, gave me a huge hug, and we both cried for a while! Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner to celebrate.
CudyBug - to be honest, I was really hoping that it was implantation cramping, but have gotten my hopes up several months now, and was just trying to be very realistic about it! My only concern is that I have been having them for over a week now, but the nurse I talked to today said not to worry!
Thanks everyone for sharing in my special day:flowerforyou:0 -
Tahmed: That is SUCH a sweet idea! Congrats again! I'm a little (a LOT) jealous :blushing:
and as a military wife I appreciate the gratitude. It doesn't always occur to me what i "deal" with where the military is concerned bc my father was military for 27 years and JUST retired last year so it's the only lifestyle i've ever known. To me, what other's consider to be difficult or even unbearable is just a part of life. I am VERY independant and my husband can be pretty dependant at times, so we work well together bc my routine doesn't vary all that much when he's gone. It's just an added bonus when he's home!
It does get difficult at times. Specifically times like now are very frusterating when we're ready to start TTC but have to hold off bc of his schedule and knowing that we're taking a risk by TTC right before a deployment. If they get extended or i go into labor early (assuming i get preggo in January) he could miss it and the military won't fly him home early to be there...BUT I just try to remember this is all apart of God's plan. He's been pretty faithful thus far so we have no reason to doubt that He will continue to be and that it will all work out the way it is supposed to. So again, thank you for your gratitude and support.0 -
Tahmed - congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! I am so so so VERY happy for you!0
-
That is such a sweet way to tell him, tahmed! I had tears in my eyes when I was reading your post. Congrats again.
AlisaToth - you are also inspirational. It is very refreshing to hear everybody being so positive on this thread. I'm really happy there is this support here.0 -
tahmed- I wouldnt worry too much. With my son I actually didnt have any cramping untill after I foudn out I was pregnant (the day after i missed my period) and they lasted a few weeks, then came on the horrible constipation lol. My daughter my cramps just lasted a week if i remember right. It has been 5 years since she was born.0
-
....and congratulations!0
-
I will pray for all of us not to be anxious and stressed. It seems like we need it!
On a good note, that 4 lbs I gained didnt' stick around!!!! I weighed myself this morning and was 140.4, so only up .4 lb! :happy:0 -
Good Morning All:
Marytheicecube: I'm sry to hear what you're going through but I will say a prayer for you.
Mellie13: Waaaahooo! glad the weight didn't stick! I love when that happens.
So, as you all may know my hubby and i have been TTC this past week. This is our first try but it's been two days since the last time we tried and I am experiencing small sharp pains in my lower abdomen (like small electrical shocks) which has never happened to me before. Has anyone else experienced this? They started yesterday evening and are lighter this morning. This is way too early to tell right??!0 -
How do I join this group? Is it a group? Or just a thread? Confused, sorry.0
-
pmaria- It could be alota things. I have some pains like that right now but Im pretty sure its from constipation lol. If its close to TOM then it could be pms cramps or it could be implantation. I wouldnt worry too much about it unless it becomes unbearable. Wait it out till ur TOM and i know how hard that is but thats all you can do0

Had a bad day yesterday...was grumpy at my hubby for most of the day (was going to try to visit him over Labor day weekend but his squadron already made plans for him..BIG surprise) and i live in a very agricultural area of CA and they've started harvesting local stuff (corn, garlic etc) and it is stirring stuff up in the air (pollen, molds etc) so my allergies are flaring up so my throat is sore and my ears are draining. So, I pretty much drowned my sorrows in 2 (very large) sushi rolls, miso soup and half a pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream and reality TV (Top Chef...guilty pleasure)...ended up making my tummy hurt the rest of the night. Even though while i was eating i was very much enjoying every bite, it was NOT worth it bc then i had a tummy ache ON TOP of sore throat/swollen glands. So, I'm sticking to soup and tea for today. Hopefully it won't effect my weight in tomorrow...0

This is the only way to create a "group". So yes, it is a tread, but we call ourselves a group. By posting, you are "in", so welcome!!Tell us about yourself!How do I join this group? Is it a group? Or just a thread? Confused, sorry. 0 -
Wow a lot has happened! Welcome new comers!!
Tahmed- CONGRATS!!! Nice way to tell him as well!
Mallie- I second that! I will be praying for everyone. It really sounds like it is needed more than ever this week. And I'm Glad to hear those pesky lbs didn't stay!
I would also like to thank the military and military wives! That scheduling sounds terrible!
As for me.... we are still not preventing, but still haven't seen AF either. So I don't think the depo is gone yet. We have been working like crazy on the rental house. Yesterday we re-plumed the whole house with the help of my FIL. Things are coming along, slowly but surely. I will be washing walls and painting tonight. Yippee... :ohwell: I think the plateau is starting to let up a little. I haven't seen 150 on the scale for a while. I think I am officially staying in the 140s! :bigsmile: 10 more lbs till goal, but honestly I am pretty happy with where I am as well. Gotta keep going to look amazing in my bikini in December in Hawaii!! :glasses: TTFN!0 -
Thanks CudyBug....I guess I'll just wait til TOM. Which I'm not expecting til Sept. 9th or 10th the wait begins....
Alisatoth: I'm sorry to hear about your bad day...hope today is better for you.
lessjess1: It's like a support group for women TTC and a GREAT one might i add. Everyone is on a different plan so weigh in days are different for everyone but we're here to support each other. Welcome!0 -
So, as you all may know my hubby and i have been TTC this past week. This is our first try but it's been two days since the last time we tried and I am experiencing small sharp pains in my lower abdomen (like small electrical shocks) which has never happened to me before. Has anyone else experienced this? They started yesterday evening and are lighter this morning. This is way too early to tell right??!
My sources tell me (LOL, I feel like a spy), that implantation can happen anywhere from Day 5 to Day 10 (post ovulation) and symptoms range from cramping, spotting to none at all. The time between ovulation and AF showing her head is usually exactly the same month to month, average is 14 days. So if you're expecting it on Sept 9, today would be the 14 day mark so my guess would be way too early for a BFP.
Those pains though could also indicate ovulation. I've heard that quite a bit too from "sources". Once they start looking for the signs of ovulation, they notice the twinges (the harder the twinges, the better the ovuation. I would say make sure to do lots of babydancing tonight and tomorrow to make sure you caught your window, especially if you've already waited 2 days!
Good luck!!!0 -
fitterpam: You're right! I had forgotten about that better get to baby dancing lol Thanks!0
-
pmaria10 I've read that when you're actively trying you should do the baby dance every-other day. Give's his little soldiers a chance to regain strength and mass.
Just thought i'd share, and i'm sorry if this is a little TMI....so I was kind of upset when my husband gave me the dates of his return bc he left while I AF was here and sure enough the friday that he returns AF will be here AGAIN! I feel bad bc he'll only be home for 2 weeks then leave again for another month! Well after much pondering on trying to make the most of the two weeks he'll be home (even though we aren't TTC just yet...it's still fun to practice!) i have decided to try to skip AF in september...I'm on the nueva ring, and rather than taking my ring out for a whole week, i'm just going to take the old one out and put a new one in. This should keep her at bay until October. Well, with that being said..i plugged all the new dates into an online ovulation calander (bc i am obsessive compulsive..:blushing: ) I am holding out hope that whatever my cycle is ON the ring, my body will continue it while off the ring. So, assuming this brazen move of sending AF packing for a month will completely re-calculate my cycle it makes my ovulation dates more ideal! I'll be taking the ring out for good in October and will no longer ovulate during the holidays (obviously I will still ovulate, just before/after the holidays) and i will be ovulating the week that he is scheduled to leave on cruise! So we'll have 2 good ovulation cycles to TTC before he leaves on cruise vs just the one!
Has been on the Nueva ring and then come off of it? Any tips on how it effects your cycle post ring? Thanks for "listening" to me rant...I get REALLY excited about stuff like this! :-)0 -
AlisaToth - It sounds like you've got a good plan. I wish I could help, but have never been on that.
I did have an IUD and got it out Aug. 6. The doctor said I should see AF within a week, but sometimes it's as long as 6-8 weeks!!! I am still waiting...
lessjess -welcome to our "group"
kcurtis - You really are getting quite a bit of exercise with all the work you're doing on the house - good for you.
So, I was bad this past Saturday and Sunday. I pulled it together and have been eating under my calories this week to make up for my awful days. I weighed myself this morning (usu. day is Friday, but just wanted to see), and I was up 2 lbs from last Friday!!!! :mad: What the heck? I hope tomorrow morning is better.0 -
Yeah!!! Not sure what the difference was from yesterday, but I'll take it! I was down 2.2 pounds officially since last Friday. I am excited it didn't stick after my hard work and eating good this week.0
-
Good job Hopeful!!! Isn't it nice to see hard work pay off?
Alisa - Sounds like you have it all figured out. One thing I noticed was that it happened when I least expected it. Try not to get to stressed planning, and have some fun!!0 -
Blah - officially weighed in for the 6th time in 2 weeks and have called it......The plateau has hit. It's the same one that I hit every time (when I was doing LA Weightloss, they claimed I wasn't working hard enough and please stop weight training, muscle weighs more than fat and it's affecting your weigh in :noway: That was the day I stopped doing that, when I was going to a specialist doctor who gets great results, he called me a cheater at this point, when i.....well you get the point).
Since I put this weight on 12 years ago, any attempt to get below 250 has thwarted me (hence my first goal of 249.9 - just wanted to be able to say it was done), I thought this year might be different....this try started so positively and the doctors told me the meds (Metformin) would help with the problem. There is something different this time though - me. I'm not frustrated (and I should be, I've been hovering for 3 weeks) - I'm optimistic and I'll find a way around it. I will be below 250 soon...not sure when, but soon!
The one thing that I keep thinking about is AF *should* be here sometime soon. LOL Took 5 days of Provera starting Friday a week ago. I've been clear of them since Tuesday.....so this could just be pre-AF weight.....it better be or i'm going to have to kick my own butt into gear!!!!!!
LOL0 -
Okay, so maybe i was a little lazy this week...and even though i tracked everything that went into my mouth i didn't really care what it was and had a few REALLY bad days...so here are the ugly stats from this week's weigh in:
SW 144.6
LW 139.8
CW 139.2 <--- (-0.6 lbs...)
GW 130
I guess SOME movement is better than NO movement...still a little discouraging esp since i maintained my goal of drinking TONS of water and got 8+ glasses of water everyday (sometimes feeling like i was going to drowned in my own body).
My goals for this week:
-continue to drink lots of water (at the very least maybe i'll pee off a few lbs)
-I'm going to start eating smaller meals and snacking in between to help boost my motabolizm
-Get up EVERY morning and walk/jog with my hyper puppy (7 1/2 mo old Australian Shepherd)
Tonight is date night with me and my kiddo...we're going to a movie (Dispicable me) I am going to give in (just one more time ) and buy him and I each our own piece of candy and we're going to share a small popcorn. It's date night! We gotta! 0 -
Fitter~ I am right there with you! I have been hovering for a few months... You've been doing great! And we both will get off this plateau soon!
Hopefull~ Great Job!
Yeah, I've been getting a workout, but eating horrible too! We really don't have time to prepair anything so it's crappy fast food or frozen meal... Ugh I know that isn't helping this plateau either! It will all be over soon... I hope. Going to Cedar Point tomorrow so lots of walking! Just have to stay focused and stay away from the junk food. Then its back to working on the rental. Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
kcurtis- I had no idea you lived in ohio! Im in ohio too. I haven't been to cedar point in forever. To be exact my senior graduating class went the day after commencement. hehe anyways have fun and resist that lovely food they have there.
edit- ok I looked at your profile and you dont live in ohio BUT I still love cedar point hhehehe

CudyBug- LOL Detroit is close enough to CP to go at least once a year! Love it! I'll try!0
-
Kcurtis & Cudybug - My husband is from OH and I've never been (we're going this thanksgiving). He always talks about how awesome Cedar Point is and what great childhood memories he has from going there. He always says he wants to take me and the kids (current 1 kid and future kids) there one day. So have fun Kcurtis! Ride a rollercoaster for me while you still can! (once you're preggo no more coasters!)0
