It's me

Hello, I am TTC # 2 after a m/c in January. My periods have been kinda irregular, and differ from 23 days to 30. But my last 2 cycles were 25 days apart. Today is cycle day number 28 for me and so far AF has not roared her ugly head yet. (Knock on wood, lol.) I was just wondering what other ladies felt in early pregnancy. Here is a list of my symptoms :

Slight cramping like AF is going to arrive but not as bad as AF cramps

Nauseous

Backache

TIREDNESS!! lol I've been really tired!!

Sore breast

heartburn

Increase in CM

I am trying to wait a week after my missed period to test because I don't want to get my hopes up. Thanks to all who answer!!

Hello ladies! I have been TTC 8 months now since my m/c. I have noticed this month a few symptoms that I haven't so far in my 8 months trying. I know of course this could mean nothing at all but I just wanted to get other woman's experiences with early pregnancy symptoms. I have noticed :

Constipation; which I know some ladies get.

Indigestion

Cramping occasionally, in the lower front of my tummy

More of an appetite

Some back pain and thigh pain

Bloating

Headache

I would love to hear everyone's experiences. Best of Luck to everyone! And tons of Sticky Baby Dust!!!!

Hello, My son just started Pre-k this year. I am wondering what are some Ideas anyone may have for what I could serve for break fest. My son, is VERY picky, he won't eat eggs or that sort of thing. It seems like all he ever wants to eat are those Go-gurt yogurts and pop-tarts. (once in a while he will eat cereal or toast.) But I need some fresh ideas to make him want to eat more of a variety. If you have any ideas for lunch and dinner also, please let me know.

Hello, my cycles are irregular, since my m/c in January so I should be expecting my AF anytime now. Just wondering if any other ladies are expecting AF this week or next. Anyone having any symptoms? My breast are a tad sore and I had VERY light cramping a few times. *Fingers Crossed* Baby Dust To Everyone!

Hello, I had my wisdom teeth cut out on Thursday. The pain is almost gone now, I just have sore jaw and such.

1.) I was wondering why my gums are itching like crazy? Does it mean that it's healing? I can feel the stitches in my mouth and its quite annoying!

2.)How long does it take for the stitches to dissolve?

3.) And also, it looks like the stitches are also on my cheeks, does that mean the dentist cut into my cheek? My teeth were impacted pretty bad.

Thanks for all the answers!

Hi, I am getting my wisdom teeth cut out Thursday and my throat is kinda sore right now. I know that for some reason dentist wont remove wisdom teeth if you have a cold but is that the same for a sore throat? Can anyone tell me why dentist wont remove your teeth if you do have a cold? Also how long after words should my mouth stay numb? Thanks for all the answers!

Hello, I noticed I have a good bit of CM but I took a OPK and it was negative. According to my chart I am fertile this week. Which should I trust, my CM or the OPK?

Hello, I have been TTC about 7 months, since my m/c. I just found out that I need to have my wisdom teeth out. So this Thursday I will have them cut out. (I'm 24 by the way.) My question is this: I just had my period on August 2nd, and according to my charts I will ovulate on Friday (the day after my wisdom teeth are removed.) I know there is always a chance of pregnancy before you ovulate since sperm can live for a few days after. (i'm trying to think how to word this, lol.....) Say I was to conceive right around the time I would have my teeth out, would this affect anything? I know you aren't really pregnant until about 2 weeks into your pregnancy, since the sperm could still be traveling down the Fallopian tubes to meet the egg would dental work affect pregnancy that soon?? JUst a question I was thinking about, lol. Thanks to all who answer!

Hello, I am TTC and my doctor told me to check to see if I would need a tetanus shot again, and if so to get one before I become pregnant. We'll I can't quite remember how long it's been since I have had one, but I do know the last time was while I was in the hospital after a sewing needle had gone thur my finger. ( I was between 12-14, I am 24 now.) The problem is my doctor I had as a teen lost my families records so I have no clue how to go about seeing when I would need another tetanus shot. I didn't know if there was a way the hospital would know or not. Also where would I go to get one? could I go to the hospital or would I need a new doctor to go to? Any help would be greatly appericated! Thanks to all!

Hello, I have been off birth control since september 2008, in december 2008 I got pregnant but I miscarried in January 2009. (My periods are usually 25-28 days apart.) My husband and I have been TTC since. I have an account on mymonthlycycle.com and according to that I would have ovulated July 21st. So on JUly 20th i took an Ovualtion test and the line was there but not as dark. On the 21st I took another and the line was even lighter that time. So I am guessing I ovualted before the 20th. Also I seem to notice that I had CM yesterday, none really when I would have ovulated. (The egg white sticky type) Does anyone know why that is? My period isn't due until around August 8th.

Hello ladies, I really thought this was my month. I was having breast soreness, nausea, food cravings, more discharge then normal, and no sign of AF. My periods have been kind of messed up since my m/c in January. Usually they range from 24 days to 31 days. Today for some reason I felt really sick so I decided to test. I didn't use first morning urine, but I got a negative. I also noticed once when I wiped there was a VERY light spot of pink, so I am guessing my period is coming. I am terrified to even test, because I am afraid I will fall pregnant and have another miscarriage. I was just wondering how many other ladies have felt pregnancy symptoms just to be disappointed?

Hello, I am new to using ovulation sticks. (I had a m/c in January and have been trying to have another baby since, but this has been my first month using them.) I had my period on June 9th (It has been a little wacky since the m/c and it was only 24 days apart last time. Usually it is 28-31.) On Thursday June 18th I used an Ovulation Stick and the first line was very light. Then On Sunday the line was a little darker but not as dark as the second line. On Monday I tested and it was about the same as Sunday. So on Tuesday June 23rd I tested again and the lines were finally the same color. I figured I ovulated then. But I noticed today that I had some discharge so I just decided to take another test and I have a line on that one.(It's kinda faint but still visible.) My question is, is it normal to always see a faint line even if you are not ovulating or should it just be one line? Sorry if this is long or confusing but I am clueless to ovulation kits lol. Thanks to al who answer and baby dust to all!!!

Hello, I am attempting to make my son's 4th birthday cake. I am doing a 9X13 square cake pan and 48 cupcakes. (His party is Sunday, but I am planning on making the cake/cupcakes today and decorating tomorrow. We are doing a landscape cake with dinosaurs.) I was wondering what ways there are to make the top of the 9X13 cake flat. I would prefer not to cut the top or turn it upside down. I was reading that after the cake is out of the oven to gently push the top of it down with a clean dish towel. I was wondering if anyone had done this before and worked? Thanks for all the advice!

Hello, I am attempting to make my son's birthday cake this year. He is turning 4 and we settled on a dinosaur theme cake. I thought of doing a 13X9 cake pan and then 24 cupcakes. we will have about 40-45 people and I dunno if this will be enough cake. I have thought of either using a bigger pan (my step mom may have one) or doing 24 more cupcakes. I already bought one of those cake boxes for the cake and I know it will hold a 13 X 9 but am unsure if it would hold a larger size cake. If I were to do a bigger cake where could I find a larger box or what else could I use? Also if I do more cupcakes, the other ones I am doing will have dinosaur figures on top for the kids, should I continue to add more figures to the other cupcakes or just leave those plain? I want to make sure I have enough cake for everyone and just in case anyone wants seconds. Thanks to all who answers!

Hello Ladies, I have a question I have been pondering. So most TTC ladies have an online ovulation chart, and on that chart it says fertile, more fertile and most fertile. I have been sorta keeping track of my ovulation and what my discharge looks like. I usually notice the egg-white consistency and the stretchiness of it. We'll this past ovulation all I noticed was the watery type of ovulation.(Which I will usually get but is accompanied by the egg white type, this time it wasn't.) I have not had any more discharge since then. So my question is, if I were pregnant does that mean that I wouldn't ovulate for the rest of my cycle? Or if I were pregnant would I still have more ovulation this month? Sorry if too confusing, Thanks to everyone! Baby Dust to all!!

Hello, my son is 3 years old. On May 3rd he started to feel warm, but our thermometer broke so I wasn't sure what the exact Temperature was. He continued to be warm on and off for the next few days. So on the 11th we saw his doctor and she said he has a virus, and they took a strep test and it came back negative. So all she told me to do was keep giving him tylenol. ( I am also using a wet washcloth on his forehead when needed.) He seems to be feeling better somewhat but he is still getting warm through out the day. Every time He has felt warm I took his temp (I got a new thermometer) and it is 102.4. It's like he will be fine one minute then warm the next. So last night I took his temp before bed and it was 103. (I'm using the armpit method.) When he isn't warm his temp goes back down. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When will my son stop feeling bad? I would have thought the doc would have given him some antibiotics or something. Anyone have any other tips also? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, I am a little confused about ovulation. I know what it is basically but I seem to also have discharge at different times and I wasn't sure what it is. (Of course I had sex around ovulation) Here is my ovulation chart:

April 29, 2009 Fertile

April 30, 2009 More Fertile

May 1, 2009 Most Fertile

May 2, 2009 Most Fertile Predicted Ovulation Date

May 3, 2009 Fertile

Ok, I normally have the egg white type of discharge (sorry of tmi!) But this past ovulation time I seem to have more of a clear watery , stretchy discharge. (Which I had on Thursday April 30 ) And on Friday the 1st It was more watery but not stretchy. So today on May 6th I noticed that I am having white discharge and it's not stretchy or watery. Can anyone tell me what this is?? My period isn't due til around the 20th. Thanks to all who answer!!

Hello, I've been a little frustrated the past few days. I thought that this month was gonna be my month, but of course It wasn't.( I Had all the feelings, sore breasts, no cramps, discharge.) I had a miscarriage in January and while I haven't been really trying, trying, I haven't been using any protection with my husband. It just seems like everyone is pregnant around me! I know 5 woman who are all expecting within months of each other. I can't help but think, that should be me too, I should be pregnant now. ( I know everything happens for a reason, but it still feels hard at times.) I try to vent to my husband and all he can say is why can't I be happy for them. It's not that I'm not happy for them, I'm hurt that I lost my baby. I mean it's only been 3 months since my m/c and my hubby acts like I'm suppose to be over it, and not be thinking about being pregnant. I guess men just don't understand, so I just need to vent to some woman who do! Thanks guys for taking time to listen to me :) Have a great Monday!

Hi, I have a sore on my big toe, and I'm not sure what it is. I have never had a callus or anything like that so I'm confused. It's almost the size of a pea, and its a circle,it looks like a circle within a circle and it's also hard. The other day a piece of the dry skin came off so I thought it would get better, but it hasn't. (I've had it for a month or so.) I also used a pumice stone and it was sore the very next day. Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Hello, I had a m/c January 2009 and I have had 2 regular periods since then, January 28th and Feb. 20th. The first one was 25 days then the second was 23 days. Today has been 26 days since my last period. So I am wondering when I should test for best results. I am a little afraid to test and see pregnant because like everyone whose had a m/c I worry the same thing will happen. Any advice or experinces I would love to hear! Thanks to everyone!!
