1 day DPO and in need of buddies :)

[BeachChica]

OMgosh Lindsay!! How exciting!!! Yes, drink MORE tea!!! I can't remember, how far are you from the hospital? I hope you have that bag in your car now and if you do end up going in to have little Oakley please have at least Kirk let us know (Ok I am being selfish here!!!) But I am getting so excited for you!!! The cast sounds amazing, I can't wait to see it!!! Glad Kirk is feeling a little better, gosh guys are stubborn aren't they!!!

Kelsey - that's great that you invited the Mom's to the scan. I bet they will be so excited!!!

Sam - the pram definitely sounds like what we call a stroller. How are you feeling? Has work been better for you?


Rach - How was day #2?

Mel - How are you feeling? Better I hope!

AFM - No sign of AF yet and no cramping. I really hope you ladies are right and that maybe the drop yesterday was just late implantation. I am usually pretty right on my 11 day LP. If she does not show up I will take another HPT tomorrow morning. The one I took the other day was an I/C and also late in the day (not FMU).

 

[confusedprego]

We are only 15 minutes from the hospital, thankfully! The bag and carseat are in the car Contractions have really lessened today, which is disappointing but they told me to expect them to, so maybe I'll make it to my appointment on Friday.

I'm so excited you're having no cramping and no signs of AF! I was looking at Kelsey's chart and it's like identical with the major dip at 10DPO! crazy! Can't wait for you to test tomorrow

 

[pinksmarties]

Lindsay - so exciting!! I have heard about raspberry leaf teas and I actually took it af-ov to help with uterine lining and it is recommended to drink from about 36 weekks onwards as it strengthens the uterine walls and helps makes contractions stronger and better for pushing. Kirk has to keep us updated, when you can't!!

Jess - another lady on another thread had a huge temp drop at 10dpo and got her bfp a couple of days later. She is now 30 weeks. I am keeping everything crossed this is the same for you.

Kels - aww it will be soo lovely to have both mums there at your next scan. It is a good one as they spend so long looking at all the different bits!

Rach - hope today went well.

afm - back spasms seem to have gone, but I still keep getting leg cramps which I have been getting on and off for a couple of weeks. Apparently, after googling, this is normal!
Work has been okay. This weekend has been a bit emotional though as Mum rang yesterday to say her second dog Misty had joined Smokey in doggy heaven. It was only a few weeks ago she had to put Smokey to sleep. Both were a good age (14 and 14.5) but it is still never easy.

Jessie that's funny because I was thinking on my drive home that if Lindsay can't update us I hope Kirk would! Now Lindsay drink the tea and bd (at the same time? Lol) Then instruct Kirk how to get on here and update us.
Yes my BFP chart is almost exactly like Jessie's-I'll be up right away to check your chart tomorrow! Rachael I hate you don't have a chart for my nosy ass to stalk! When will you test??
Sam so glad the muscle spasms have settled, but so sad bout the doggy! If it's not one thing it's another!

 

[BeachChica]

Oh gosh ladies!!! I just did some analysis of Kelsey's chart and I hope you all are right!!! That dip I had yesterday does look a lot like hers!! Kelsey I remember telling you not to worry about your dip and now here you are telling me not to worry about mine Thank you all!!! I can't wait to test tomorrow!

 

[korink26]

Omg omg omg jessie!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so now what-what's your plan???
Ok how am I supposed to get up and go to work with all this excitement?! I want a pic of the test ASAP

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks Kelsey!!! I wanted to get here a post a pic before you girls saw my chart but you are up early! I woke up this morning to another increased temp so went to take my HPT and it was a !!! I'm in shock, but nervously excited!!! I'll post a pic below. Not sure what to do now, what do you girls think? Should I call the doc for an early appointment. Last time I waited until about 6 weeks and he wanted to put me on progesterone at that appointment (which I think was too late) so I am wondering if I need to go in sooner this time. Thank you girls for all of your postive support, I really thought I was out this month!!

 

[pinksmarties]

OMG OMG I just clicked on your FF before reading down and nearly passed out when I saw the +Ve green square!!




That is one +ve FRER - wow HUGE congratulations!!

Don't really know about the progesterone but for me it would be the sooner the better.

 

[pinksmarties]

Wow this has really brightened my day and it was panning out to a great day already!!

OH came home last night with 2000 pampers sensitive wipes as they were on offer in out local supermarket!! Quite a surprise to to met with 4 boxes of wet wipes! I went swimming today, the first time in ages and it felt great. There were some strange people in the pool at that time of day. Some of these ladies must have strange neck muscles to keep their heads and hair so far out of the water so as to not spoil their 'do's' lol. The weather is hot and sunny for once so can potter in the garden for a bit.

 

[korink26]

Omg, and that's a dark BFP!!! You would have totally gotten one yesterday if you tested!!! I don't know about an early appt if you're already on the progesterone? Unless there's something else your Dr. was planning on doing with you? I think you can just relax (huh, yah right, I know--let the worrying begin but you'll be sooo fine this time) and enjoy your BFP Is Chris freaking?!
Aww Sam, how cute he bought wipes home!! You know he's got baby on his mind Oh those ladies and their "do's", you'll have to swim by and send a little splash their way, on total accident Sounds like a great day you're having.
Jess, just so excited I can hardly stand it. Now, Rach if you follow with one in a couple days, my life will be complete
Jessie did you have any symptoms/suspicions?!

 

[korink26]

P.s--happy 23 weeks ms. Sam!!

 

[korink26]

Oh, and Lindsay, check in so we know you're not busy in labor! And if you don't check in, OOMMGGG!! Today will really be a great day!!

 

[confusedprego]

WOOHOO Jess!!!!!!! omg I'm so excited for you!! Call your doc! What's it hurt?! If he says he doesn't want to see you for a couple weeks then whatever but if he wants to see you it can't hurt OMG I just KNEW it!! Your chart looks JUST like Kelsey's!! That's a GREAT test!!

I don't think we're having a baby today - Having very not painful at all contractions and some minor cramping - but I have more bloody show/mucus plug loss today so I'm kinda glad we went in the other night just to get that started coming out (gross).

Sam - glad your back is starting to feel better and how cute of your OH!!

I'll do my best to get on here and tell you ladies when we get admitted to the hospital and if not, I'll show Kirk how to I didn't tell you guy the other night because I had a good feeling we'd be sent home but it's better to be safe than sorry, right?!

Rach - you gonna test soon??

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks girls! I am very excited, but a little nervous at the same time. Its been such a rollcoaster going though all this. Chris is excited and nervous too, he just worries because he doesn't want me to have to go though any more miscarriages.
I think I will book an appointment with my doc just so he can check all my blood levels etc. I am on the progesterone now so I don't know what else he would do. I did have high homocysteine and that hasn't been checked in a while so I guess it probably should. So weird that the I/C test I took the other day was sooooo white and now this!!!

Kelsey - no I don't have any symptoms, I really thought I was out. Even my boobs don't really hurt like they did slightly last week. Very strange. I hope everything is OK.

Sam - Happy 23 weeks!!! So cute of your OH to come home with all of that stuff!!! Hopefully he will be a great little helper when your LO arrives. Are you feeling better today?

Lindsay - Gosh the waiting must be killing you. Do the contractions feel any different than they did yesterday? Yes better safe than sorry on the notifications. Then we'll know if you are MIA. Did you tell Kirk he's getting a B&B screen name?? LOL

 

[korink26]

Jessie--Mel or I had really no symptoms to start with (my hunger I don't think kicked in for like a week or 2) and that ended up being a good thing for us!!! Are you going to go to your reg. OB or your specialist? Let us know what he says!

 

[filipenko32]

Jess!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooo happy for you!!!! Yay!!! It so wonderful to come back on here to that news. That is an amazing line for so early. Brilliant hun, just brilliant brilliant brilliant!!! xxxx

Lindsay, I drank RRTL to thicken my lining lol so it must cause contractions too lol! I am so so so excited to see Oakley!! Hurry baby Oakley! Sorry about your hub's back, that must be so painful for him. Glad you're all set to go now though.

Rach I think some people can be 'can't be bothered to speak to new people' types and that's obviously awful and thoughtless. I really hope it turns out to be a job you end up liking. xxx

Sam - sorry you're having problems with your back too that doesn't sound nice at all but glad they're easing up. Are your work colleagues still being supportive of you? Yeah a stroller is the same as a pram. Pram is short for perambulate which means to walk so that's where the English name for it came from - same as to stroll really lol - prefer stroller!

Kels - that's so lovely that the mums are coming to the scan with you. and WTF about that scan appointment - how thoughtless!! He could have just spent 5 mins at least!! Have you got any other symptoms aside from the back spasms? I hope you're not suffering too much with those.


Afm - If I haven't been sleeping I've been going to social things organised by both my friends and hub's and everything seemed to come at once! I went to see my family too these last 2 days so I am resting now and catching up with everyone. I have had it with this heat already!! This morning I got in the cold shower in my pyjamas and then dried off a bit so i wasn't dripping then walked around all day like that - haven't been out today as too hot! Flat is awful - we have 3 big fans going and it's unbearable. Bring back the and I hope it's like this soon:

I am going to a wedding on Friday and I have just managed to squeeze into my size 10 dress but it looks well filled out!! I am going to post a pic when I am all ready on Friday I'll get my hubs to take a bump pic! I love my bump and the other day when I was on a very busy tube a man offered me his seat!!!!!!! I looked around haha. I declined as i was getting off in 2 stops but it made me feel pregnant

I've developed a new symptom of rib ache under my right boob when i have been sitting too long, anyone else?

Pink thanks for your post about your dreams on my journal that really made me feel better. The night before last I dreamt that Me-mo's heart stopped as he was too far ahead of dates all the time but I think it's just my fears coming out again as I have a scan on Wednesday. I am quite excited to see him again but the nerves are STILL getting in the way! Ill be 16.5 weeks then

 

[babydust818]

quick update ---- WHOA Jess i think you have a strong bean! That line is DARK! I am so happy for you. Congrats hun. Last year i got my bfp on july 26th! Would be nice if we could be bump buddies this go round!! You deserve it girl.

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks again girls!

Mel- Whoa - sounds like you've got a busy schedule!! I can't wait to see your bump pic!!! I bet you look fabulous!!! I am surprised how dark the line is too considering the one I took the other day was so light.

Rach - How's the new job going?

Well I called my doctors office for an appointment, they just had tomorrow or August 14th so I am going tomorrow at 2:50pm. I really need to find out from him if I should keep seeing him since all my testing is done or if I should move on to a regular OB. As long as the regular OB is willing to monitor me as closely with scans etc I see no reason why I can't just go there but I will see what he says.

 

[BeachChica]

Morning girls! What a day of anniversaries!!!

Lindsay - Happy 40 weeks!!!!

Kelsey - Happy 17 weeks!!

Well I put in my progesterone this morning and when I pulled the stick out (sorry TMI) it had a big gob of CM on it with a little bit of brownish, what looked like dried blood mixed in it. I hope that is just leftovers from implantation a couple days ago. By the way, I can't remember, but are any of you girls on progesterone this time? Mel...?

 

[confusedprego]

Hey Jess - brown this early is definitely normal from implantation, I wouldn't stress too much about it *Easier said than done!* but also good that it's brown So glad they can see you today I bet your specialist will probably want you to stay with him through at least your first trimester, but he might want you to go see a regular OB as well. That's what I did for my cervix checks - I had to go to my normal OB appointments every month but went to the perinatologist every two weeks until they were convinced my cervix was going to hold up - which it did and still is like a champ lol.

Rach - how's the new job going?? You done with orientation yet?? How you feeling?? Any symptoms??

Mel - is your energy picking up yet?? Hope you're doing well! I can't wait to see your bump picture - I'm sure you look fantastic!!

Kelsey and Sam - I would love to see a bump picture from you ladies too!!

AFM - still waiting on the little man. DH and I DTD last night and this morning and that brings on a contraction or two and then they go away :/ I have my 40 week appointment first thing tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll be more dilated and he'll be able to strip my membranes and get this show on the road! lol
