Oh hun I'm sorry. I'm glad you have the appointment on Monday too. Keep us updated on what they discover. I'll be thinking of you.

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone is doing well. So truely sorry to the ones where AF might show up and good luck to those testing soon. Praying for BFPs. This morning is my doctor's appointment with my new gynecologist and I am going to ask him why my hip has been hurting so much. It is getting to the point where I am limping now. I'm 33 and shouldn't be having hip problems. I talked to one of my girlfriends and she said that having a kid, it will take up to 3 years for your hip to go back to the way it was. Of course, she doesn't know I am pregnant. I am totally fine with not being able to hear the heartbeat as it is still pretty early and they say at the 11 or 12 week you will be able to hear it. Last night, I thought I would put my hands on where I think my little bean is and I felt a really fast fibration/pulsing in my hand. I know we have nerves all over our bodies and that's why it's hard to hear it. Weird thing is, I put my other hand on my neck pulse and the other on my belly and the pulses didn't match. Am I imagining things or did I actually feel it? Also, I thought I felt it on my right side as well and way across from each other. My ultrasound is April 3 (not soon enough) and I will have my answers for sure. Talk soon ladies.

Ladies - help me out! I'm using Wondfo OPKs and I'm not 100% sure how pinpointing your ovulation day works... Would you say I would ovulate 12-36 hours after Tuesday's OPK because it was the darkest or would you say I O'd 12-36 hours after my first positive OPK which was on Monday? Monday I was CD11 and I usually have 26 day cycles exactly.

Any input/knowledge/links to websites with info would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!!

Hi ladies. My appointment went well and I have to go back in a months time. I have a quick question for you ladies. Philidelphia cream cheese. Is that safe to eat? All I was told is that it has to be pasturized and I did some Googling and some other pregnant woman have eaten it and everything was fine. What do you ladies think? If I have to stop eating it then I will. I went on their website and it says that it is pasturized. But want to be safe. He didn't say much about my hip being sore but to take tynelol and get a massage.

So glad your appt went good!! I think cream cheese is okay - it's not a raw/wet cheese like fresh mozzarella or feta... that's my two cents

@ Dragonfly23 - As long as it is pasteurized you are all set! That's the important step that kills any bad bacteria. I'm sorry about your hip pain. It might be bothering you because you're muscles and bones are adapting to being pregnant again. Will you still have another Ultra sound on April 3rd?

@BB2018 - I don't use dip tests for my OPKS but I'd say your most positive ones are the two Tuesday afternoon ones. Therefore you ovulated 12-36 hours after Tuesday afternoon. When are you going to start testing?

Thanks @FlamingoGirl13 - It's so confusing - some people say you count 12-36 hours from your first positive and some say from your darkest... I tried searching online but didn't find anything from a doctor or medical facility stating either...

I plan to start testing next Wednesday. Hoping I'll see two lines this cycle!

@FlamingoGirl13. Thank you! I went on the Philidelphia website and the cream cheese is pasturized. Also found out that you can't have any shell fish, so no shrimp or escargot for me and salmon should be wild. So many foods you can and cannot eat.

@BB2018. I really hope this is your month and that everything works out for you.

Now I'm officially out this month. Af showed her ugly face this morning (it's 07:30 here).. So now I am looking forward to our appointment with the fertility specialist on monday, which will be cd 3 for me. At least it's the ideal day for the bloodwork that has to be done.

This cycle af is expected around my 30th birthday and if it goes well edd would be around christmas. Wouldn't that be the ultimate gift?!

@diviniumliv I’m sorry and showed! We’re cycle buddies this month I got my af just now as well. I’m soo happy for mine though, today was already cd 32. I’m jealous of women who have 28 day cycles. Hopefully this month will be it for us, but my birthday is December 26 and I’m hoping it won’t be a Christmas baby! Haha a little earlier or later would be perfect. My first child was 6 weeks early so I’m more likely to have an early arrival baby. So many months of trying already... I have an RE but it’s SOO expensive for doctor’s visits every month that I think I want to just try on our own for a few more months. Hopefully we get our babies soon to everyone who is currently trying!
