Any news starbird?

Did the get you, or was it just spotting??

hey guys, i lost track of this thread for a little while but glad i found it cause i missed you

Good luck today!

Both of you just dissappeared! I miss this thread!

I miss you guys as well. I've just been so busy with work and sleeping. What is everyone up to? Any updates?

Not really Dealing with weird mystery pain (I finally found a Doctor though!) and trying to get a March (waiting for my preseed to arrive) I'm also trying to get back to Europe this summer

We had Pre~Seed, but we didn't really use it all the often. We used it for... other things. Lol. . I had a lack of EWCM, on this cycle we used maximum strength Mucinex for five days leading up to O, the day of O, and two days afterwards. It really made all the difference in the world. I also upped my water intake to about 150 oz. Everything was so wet and slippery, it was perfect for the spermies.

Also, I did get your e-mail. I've just been so busy and I couldn't find the time to get back to it until now. My appointment went well, it didn't exactly go as I thought it was going to though. Basically, she asked me about my last period, asked me when around I think I ovulated, I showed her my chart... and I took a urine pregnancy test. It came back positive, but she effed up my due date. She's saying that my due date is November 9th, but that would only be true if I ovulated around February 17th... and there is no way that I got a hint of a BFP at 5dpo. That's damn near impossible. My O date of the 14th is correct. My temps, OPK, CM/CP all line up. She also didn't do a blood test. She said they'll do one at my prenatal interview on the 22nd. That's also when I get my first ultrasound. The ultrasound is also going to be used to date my pregnancy. If I am correct, the baby should be measuring 5w2d fetal age/7w2d gestational age... whereas she thinks it would be measuring about 4w6d fetal age/6w6d gestational age. I know, I know... it's not much of a difference, but I'm a stickler about accuracy, and I KNOW what I ovulated. She doesn't.

Anywho. I am still in shock. Some days I don't believe it, some days I forget. It's so unreal to me. I'm really pregnant. It really happened that fast. DH is still in disbelief as well. I am still POAS'ing everyday. =/. I feel like it's a dirty, guilty pleasure that I should stop at some point. I feel weird doing, but it just makes me feel so much better to keep testing and seeing the lines get darker. I sleep with a digital in my pillow case. I just feel like as quick as it happened, it could all be taken away. It's still really early too, which is making me nervous.

I really hope you and Starbird gets your :BFP:s soon. I really want you two to join me on this adventure. =).

DH's sister had her baby early on the 1st. He's still in the NICU, but he is doing wonderful. He was 34 weeks gestation, born via emergency c-section because he wasn't moving. He was 7lbs12oz, and 19in long. BIG baby for being so early. His Mom had gestational diabetes though, so that's probably why. He's off oxygen, breathing on his own, and drinking from a bottle. He should be able to come home in a couple of days. =). We went to visit him, he's so perfect.

I'm nervous about using Mucinex, I don't take medicine unless absolutly necessary (I take a hot shower for AF cramps or a headache for example). How much is recommended?? If it's a small dose I may try it lol. I'm hoping the preseed gets here in time to try it this cycle! Cross your fingers! Do it! Lol

Ohh okay, I figured you hadn't replied because you may of had an upsetting appointment and didn't want to talk about what happened. I'm sooo glad that you just didn't have the time! I like accuracy too and hope you get the right dates at the next appointment

How sweet!! Does he have a name yet??

I took one 1200mg tablet (good for 12 hours) for four days leading up to O. Then I took one every 12 hours, so 2400mg the day before, the day of, and the day after O. Then two days after O, I took one more for safe measures. Now, I hate taking medications as well. I'm so afraid of side effects. However, when I came to trying to have a baby, I was willing to do anything to ensure my chances. My fingers are crossed for you. =).

I was hoping you guys weren't thinking that. I am doing well, don't worry. Positive thoughts only please! Lol. Send all the sticky baby dust my way.

His name is Tien. =). It's pronounced Tea-En.

Did you notice a significant change in your cm? I'm so so nervous about taking meds, but will try it if the preseed doesn't work out. ETA: nevermind you already answered that!

Good to hear! I'll send sticky baby dust (it's gotta clear customs first though so you might have to wait!!)

Ohh I love his name! I love ethnic names. We're using German names as hubby is German and we have a super German last name lol

kristina, hi and glad to hear your update. beautiful. wishing you the best and haven't doubted it for a moment.
