Bee I really think timing is amazing this cycle! Good luck tomorrow!

 

[blablamana]

Bee- Don't worry, timing seems wonderful!

Drum: Thinking of you and little one


afm: SO keeps calling me huge He says I'll be a whale by the end of the pregnancy. Thanks babe. He means the bump itself, but dear god. MEN.
Really helps the confidence. I'm up 4 kgs now at 16 weeks. Don't know if that's too much? I don't really care about my weight that much to be honest, but still.

 

[squirrel.]

Drum: I hope your appointment this morning gives you better news than yesterday. Thinking about you!

Bee: thinking about you too, hope your temp stays down (or even if it doesn't, I think your timing is still great!) and I hope the IUI is less uncomfortable today!!


We had a terrible night last night with both kids up. Oscar woke up at 2 and screamed hysterically until 5. He was manic. I've never seen him like that. I was so desperately unhappy. I just didn't know how to help him as with his autism, he couldn't say what was wrong. So my temp this morning is massively inreliable. It might have been higher/lower. I hope that I get a proper sleep tomorrow so that I can see if ovulation has happened or not. Feel crampy today, but don't think it'll happen today on CD13. Not going to be fun trying to seduce my husband later with both of us having basically no sleep, but we can't miss it out!

It's so weird because at the beginning I was like, I'm having a c section, no questions asked, but after seeing all my friends get planned c sections, and watching one born every minute, I decided I want it natural, no epidural, just good old gas and air!

Good luck squirrel!! Rooting for some good follys!!

for everyone

if you had read the paper my dr just gave me yesterday to read and sign omg you would never want a csection LOL!!! it was terrifying. And they say, ok, sign this. It's all the terrible things side affects and so forth that can come from regular birth with forceps/vacuum and csection and i had to sign it for consent for them to give me my baby. all more 'drastic' measures she called it. I almost pooped my pants.

Just got back from the hospital and could really use some prayers please. The bleeding is back, red with clots and heavy. The specialist came in and ordered another ultrasound and the placenta is full previa and registering low grade contractions. I have been warned this could be the start of a loss but if it is not there is a very low chance it will move enough to see me out of second tri. I am in shock and go to my OB for further information in the morning. I don't know what to do.

So now what ? they just sent you home like that? seems awful!!! i'm so sorry drum!!!

praying for you and your baby

 

[TexasRider]

Ugh I was hoping for a bigger jump in temp today.... I will check later on today and see what my Cm is doing... I'm ready for my definite temp shift so I can stop BDing for a couple of days lol

 

[campn]

Drum- I'm thinking of you, please let us know whenever you can what the doctor said. I'm praying.

Bee- No temp jump (yep I stalked your chart) you are so still on!

Squirrel- I'm so sorry hun, kids are hard enough and not knowing what's bothering them must be the most frustrating thing. Maybe he was having night terrors, or something was hurting him?

Bla- My DH always says your belly is in the way! And I'm like no, that is YOUR own kid in the way. Weight gain and getting bigger is a safe sign that baby is growing fine and no uterus restrictions so don't let the weight bother you, you seem right on track!

 

[beemeck]

thanks girls! heading out now. O pain is killer so this is perfect timing. I'm walking hunched over from that GIANT follie

drum - really, really thinking of you

 

[beemeck]

done! was a wildly different experience today. I'm wondering if it was the timing. it was a different doc doing it and it was done in about 8 seconds with no special catheter ...or pain! so my cervix is not the culprit, at least anatomically. the TWW begins!

Yay! So happy this time seems so different, different is good! Sounds like you got a more skilled doctor this time! You are on your way to being preggo!

You and Squirrel may be looking at our first 2017 babies!!!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Excellent new Bee. FX'd this is the one. Xx

Drum, I'm so sad to read your story. Praying for you and baby. Xx

 

[campn]

Drum- I keep checking on here waiting for your update. Really really hoping and praying you hear nothing but great news. You're one of the nicest and kindest people and you deserve only good things happen to you.

 

[Smille24]

Bee- maybe they had a difficult time last time bc you already o'd and your cervix closed back up. This time you're right on time. I am very excited for you. Enjoy your trip!

 

[gina236]

Bee sounds like timing was perfect! I agree with smille, maybe your cervix wasn't open last time. Enjoy your trip! It will make the tww fly by!

Drum, thinking of you. Hope everything is okay

Texas, hope your temp jumps sky high tomorrow!

Afm Progesterone test finally came back. Levels were fine. And my chromosomes abnormality test came back negative. Still waiting on DHs results. So no closer to finding out why I keep having chemicals. -_-

 

[trixiesmith]

drum - so sorry for what you're going through. I really hope you get good news today. You're in my thoughts.

Bee - timing sounds perfect.

Gina - hope you get some answers soon.

Camp - your reply to my update made me laugh. It would be quite the surprise if that happened.

 

[peskipiksee]

Well, ladies, I am returning for yet another 2WW! I'll be starting my count from the 5/6th as I had a very positive OPK yesterday and another today that was not quite as bold. The pic of yesterday's OPK is below. I may have actually OV today as it's somewhat achy below stairs.

DH and I have wasted no time and have BD'd everyday since Monday. Whew! I'm hoping for a sticky pregnancy this time!

Testing on the 19/20th! I'm throwing baby dust at everyone!

 

[pompeyvix]

You're still in my thoughts , Drum. Hope everything is OK

Bee - Yay great timing with the IUI!! Now go and enjoy your holiday

gina - sorry the tests you had don't tell you why you are having recurrent chemicals. How many how you had? What are the next steps for you?

squirrel - I hope you are not too upset only having 1 follie. That is still really positive and I really hope this is your month.

AFM - I had my second temp jump this morning, so I expect crosshairs tomorrow. Looks like I ovulated Monday in the end. So annoyed with myself as we stopped BD'ing Sat night when I got my positive OPK (last month I ovulated the day I got my +OPK). Pretty frustrated with that, but nothing I can do now.

 

[TexasRider]

I'm still having loads of EWCM and my cervix is still high. So I am hoping that I O soon. But at least I still have the good cm? I've never had it for this long! And I'm sure it's not leftover sperm cause I waited till just now to check. I'm just gonna keep BDing till I get my temp rise... I'm getting tired haha

 

[peskipiksee]

gina - I had my first chemical last month, Doc said I'm good to try again and I'm basically in my 2WW now. If it keeps happening, I may be in the same boat as you. Don't worry, we can share the paddle! I'm just surprised nothing has shown on tests why they keep happening. Maybe some weird hormone thing at the time of conception? Very strange . . . FX that very soon it'll stick!

pompey - Don't be discouraged! There could be a little romance going on down there. You know, a little candlelit meeting with some sparkling grape juice and Barry White playing in the background. FX that maybe-baby date night goes well and there's a BFP at the end of it!

 

[gina236]

Peski, hope the tww flies by!

Pompey, I think I have had 5 or 6 CP, I've stopped keeping track as it just makes it hurt more to see a number everyday. Definitely looks like you ovulated! That's not too bad of timing. If you had fertile CM the could have easily been hanging out still.

Texas yay for EWCM! The more the better.

 

[squirrel.]

Bee: sounds brilliant! And the timing is amazing this cycle for you. I really really think this is it for you now. I bet it would have worked last cycle if they'd done it earlier!!

Gina: sorry to hear you're none the wiser as to why things are going wrong it's good to get normal results, but so devastating when you can't figure out why something is happening. The thing is, even if your prog level is good, you might still benefit from taking progesterone too. My friend had 9 miscarriages (almost all within the first 6 weeks) and for her, the issue was progesterone. Like you, her levels had come back great, but a doctor just tried her on prog supplement after her BFP one time and amazingly it worked. She's taken it twice now and carried two babies to term. So for her, even though she was making her own prog, it wasn't doing the job.

Pompey: fantastic that ovulation seems to have finally happened for you!! Welcome to the TWW!! I hope you have a BFP at the end of it.

Campn: thanks. It is so tough. I don't know what it was. I suspected a stomach ache, but he's starting a repeat tonight he just spent half an hour screaming again (it's 12:30am here), but he has settled now, though he is awake! We're toilet training him right now and he's got weeing down like a champ, but he is holding in his poo. He's just not going at all, so I think it's related to that - either stomach cramps or constipation pains or something can't wait for him to get past this hurdle as it's really hurting him.

Peski: amazing positive OPK. Go catch that egg!!

Texas: sorry you're still hanging around waiting for ovulation. It's so incredibly frustrating when it just won't come. I really hope it comes in the next couple of days!


Wow, we are all syncing up ladies! So many of us either just about to ovulate, in the process of ovulating or just having had ovulated! Gotta be a sign for us! We're about to get a host of Baby 2017 BFPs!

Drum: I really hope you're okay!!
