baby bump hope- I have heard of bleeding gums as a symptom more than once! GL!
I usually stalk all the threads that have to do with early pregnancy signs, there's a lot on this forum. I like the big thread of pregnancy signs the most... but if you read through it, you will be bound to find something you have I know I tend to!

ah man, Im so jealous of you guys- I cant wait to try again! The TTC is anxiety central but its also so full of hope!

Em- I am so sorry about your friend I cant understand why people do that when they know you love it. especially since you lost your baby... all I can say is your friend sounds like a shitster and at least now you know she sucks.
Are you two close? do you see each other much? If you really love Lucy- you should absolutely use it and not think twice about it.
If she says anything about it you can say something like "Oh I know, its so tacky when people use other people's names- thats why I was so shocked when you took ours KNOWING how I felt about it and that I was planning on using it... but then again- its not like we are really friends or anything right?"
or something less high schoolish

but really- what a poo face, sorry friend! Lucy is a lovely name. Have you considered calling her Lucy as a nickname but naming her something like Lucia, Lucinda..?

I love your other names too. Amelia is a gorgeous name- SO pretty and not as common either. Millie is a cute nickname too if you like nicknames...
Having an Irish name is lovely... Im Irish decent too. or are you from Ireland Irish?
Cassidy is a bad ass name. love it too.

I live in constant fear that one of our friends will take the name Noah- they keep lapping me!! I feel like it is bound to happen... fertile cows... anyhoo. Theres this one girl who is so freakin competitive, I told her about the name and shes newly pregnant. I will pull her hair out if she dares...

so only 2 full days to go til I am free and clear! HORRAY!
I get what you are saying about trying naturally. I want to cause I want it to happen but the doctor has already told me that he thinks my ovulation isnt great and that I need help AND the longer I wait and allow myself to ovulate, the more the endometriosis will grow back. once I am pregnant, breast feeding or on the pill it cant grow anymore and cause more problems... Im already on the 3rd month post surgery. but im hoping he will say that he thinks we have at least 6 months til it is a problem again.

I know what you mean about BDing. DH loves it in the beginning, then he gets tried of it and a couple of days after O I try to stay away from Bding cause I'm scared it is going to 'do' something bad. isnt that insane?!
so by the time AF is over he is ready to start again!

I'm sorry I didn't realize you had a m/c last year Em... can I ask- were you far along? mine was close in time to yours- I had an m/c in December of 2010. seems like it wasnt a whole year ago... time is strange that way.

AF got me this morning 
Oh well I guess on to the next month

Oh where to begin.. first off, I laughed my ass off at your reply!! I have thought about it all day, and to be honest I don't know how I'm going to go about mentioning that what she is doing is grimy. But you know what... maybe she will move away one day (we just bought a new house so we aren't going anywhere). Soooo.. if we do get pregnant soon, and we find out it's a girl, we very well may just name her Lucy. We really aren't that close anymore. I had her and her fiance over for dinner a few months ago, before she announced her pregnancy to us. But that was the last time I saw her.

I'm of Irish Decent, equipped with the red hair and freckles. It's fun to toss around names, but then comes the heartache of waiting for that positive test...so the names continue to be googled. Another endless cycle.

Awww, Noah. I love that name! (Don't worry.. can't steal it, DH would think its because I secretly wish I was in the movie The Notebook. Side note... the town I live in is being used in the movie coming out next year with Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendez..so keep an eye out! They were here all summer!)

I swear I will lose my mind if I see one more person I know announcing that they are pregnant. It's my turn dammit! They all have kids already, like you said.. fertile cows. (I had to pee when I read that, high five).


When it comes down to when to start, and whether or not you should start on medication to help...go with whatever the doctor says. I'm leaning more towards getting a script at your appointment on Thursday. If a pregnancy can help endometriosis not come back, shit.. do it. There is never a guarantee that you will become pregnant the first month anyways, a chance.. but I would do it in a heartbeat. Yes... multiples could happen, but you could ultimately get all the babies you want in one pregnancy! Then you won't have to deal with the agony of TTC again

I don't knowwwww. I still wish you the best, and you are hilarious! I look forward to coming on here everyday to read what you write.

I wasn't as far along as you were with your miscarriage. I knew about it early (before missed AF), and I was 6w4d when I started bleeding...a loss is a loss, but I am very lucky it was that early.

 

[Afamilygal]

I vote she moves away!
glad you found the response funny- I aim to please.
and about your m/c, I really am sorry. you are so right- a loss is a loss and it hurts all the same. Im sorry you had to go through it, I know how rough it can be...
and I know how hard it is to have a m/c when you don't have any children too.. all the fear that brings up.
but you know what- I believe you are going to get knocked up any day now! I have a 6th sense about these things... just really crap at predicting my own stuff. such nonsense!

so get this- that movie you are talking about. My husband is a film producer and his buddy was one of the producers on it and we went to a wedding back in September and we were going to go up and visit him on set (but we ran out of time) isnt that funny- so we would have been in the same town- CRAZY! cool huh? its a small world folks!
I have a big old crush on Ryan Gosling, he is not an ugly man.

I hear you about the pregnancies. The next friend who tells me she has a bun in the oven is going to see a very ugly side of me.
Im actually pretty good at keeping it together in front of them but OH MY LORD do the tears flow after. I just happens doesnt it? Its hard not to be affected by it. I try to tell myself that it will happen for me one day and when it does there will be someone who will think I suck for it.
I have one friend who recently had her fourth. HER FOURTH. Im like, "can I have one?" they are cute too- I would totally take one, any one, dont mind which!

ah pregnant women... I havent left the house since the operation so the only people I have seen is DH, el doggie and my reflection (and the cast of glee/parenthood/and all my other guilty pleasures) BUT before the op, there were pregnant women EVERYWHERE. It was mental! Whats the deal? sheesh...
Its like HELLO, do you mind? a little infertile here...juuust kidding.
Im either scowling or sighing at baby bumps these days... they probably think im a lunatic. Its like, yes I am crazy but you are FAT. ok, really just kidding.

thanks for your advice and sweet sympathies. thats really nice of you to care. (cyber hug) I look forward to your replies too. I spend WAY too much time on this forum. oooops. sometimes I pretend Im doing other things when DH looks at what Im doing. isnt that silly?
If he only knew how much energy I spend each day thinking about TTC he would be afraid.

Are you serious?? The movie is called The Place Beyond the Pines... I am too excited! They filmed at my bank, a street away from me.. pretty much everywhere!!! Ryan rode his motorcycle to a restaurant right around the corner from my house! (Yes, I said Ryan.. I like to think we are on a first name basis). That would have been too funny if you did make it up this way

I see that you are from Texas... my aunt lives in Austin, and we are actually planning a visit soon. You don't live there do you? That would be too freaky.

My husband is at the point where he acts like he doesn't notice what website I'm on, and when we see a pregnant women together.. or anything regarding a baby, he looks at me with such sympathy. I don't know whether or not I want to smack the look off his face or hug him. I think it's more difficult on women. We actually have a friggin' clock, and it ticks. I struggle to find happiness in a pregnancy with someone I know. I get jealous. Which is totally not like me. I get so happy for women on here when they are actually TTC, having a hard time with it... and they get a BFP. I feel hope. However, in saying that.. I've been finding myself getting annoyed with women who I see become members of B&B, just to upload a picture of a blazing pink positive or digital that says PREGNANT, then question whether or not it is because it's their first month trying. Someone please just tell me I'm a bitch, and I'll try to get over it.


I'm going to go out on a short limb, and say that you and I will get that BFP by April. That's my goal, and I'm confident that now your surgery is over, you will get a healthy fertilized egg. Now is the time that we talk each other up. We'll get there!

 

[Afamilygal]

Ha! No, I know what you are talking about. But th. again it's hard to know what people have gone through to get where they are. But I have to admit I have had a bitchy thought or two.
I am in Austin! Craaaazy!

That is the movie! Ha ha, mental. That is wild about Ryan (first name basis- don't mind if I do) on his motorbike. SWOON. I would have done some serious stalking.

Ok. April it is! I like it! Just have a chat with your ovaries,
"alright girls, time to get a move on! Atteeeeention!"

You can do it! Rah rah rah!

This village was full of little girls from all over the place, trying to stalk the men out. It was hilarious, but I am super excited to see the movie. They held auditions for extras... a couple people I know might be in the movie! Can't wait til it comes out!

Lighter note... bleeding has almost stopped, currently spotting!!! I'm almost to the wait for ovulation, and couldn't be more excited!!!

I will be talking to my ovaries today and tomorrow.. then I will be speaking with my fallopian tubes in about a week. They play an intricate role too. I would like them to be on board with what I will be asking my uterus to do right after ovulation. Can you believe how much stuff has to be "just right" in order to have a baby?? Sometimes I sit and think how it's possible that I was made by the fastest sperm. Have you ever watched the Great Sperm Race? Very interesting... I laughed a few times, but really good. It's on youtube.. if you haven't seen it, check it out!

Off to my dentist appointment

 

[Afamilygal]

ew.. dentist...Ow. I have mine next month. such a drag, I do love my dentist though, she is hilarious. unless she is drilling holes in my face.
you cant win em all!

yay to AF on her way out (dont let the door hit you on the way out biatch!) nearly to O! YAY! So jealous, I cant wait to try again!
only 1.5 days til the drs! HORRAY! should I keep the deflated balloon? like people do with their teeth? juut kidding. thats gross.

been watching 'parenthood' i love it. the perfect amount of humour and sap. good stuff.

so yes- defo speak with the tubes too. you need those suckers. there is a LOT that has to go right... its mind boggling! the right hormones too. BAH! its a wonder anyone gets pregnant at all really! I think on average there is a 25% chance of pregnancy occuring in any given cycle. maddess. I'm not sure I would consider those good odds...

so can I ask. you had a mc last year but you only started again recently? or were you trying too last year? sorry to be nosy, I am curious. I found it hard to 'start again', the mc really messed with my head. just ask my therapist!

well... not much to report.. over and out friend!!!

Emily here..reporting from the dentist chair. Our pregnancy last year was unplanned. We got excited after the initial shock, but then the mc happened. We wrote out a list of what we wanted to accomplish before we started to actually try. A house and finally getting married were the only things on it. We closed on the house mid September..and tied the knot october 1st. We wanted to get past the holidays, but come december..I didn't want to wait anymore. So now we are here...really trying. How did it happen with you?

 

[Afamilygal]

hey cool! congrats on the marriage and the house! very exciting! this is funny, my anniversary is the 3rd of October! funny huh?
well lets see. my story... its a long one but Ill try to keep it brief.

DH and I got married in 2009. I had gone off the pill early that year (but we werent trying) the following May I had a cyst removed from my ovary (since I was ovulating it had developed and was causing me some pain) and after that, I started really thinking about TTC. The Dr had seen what she thought was endometriosis and I got concerned since I was having issues in that department. I just always thought that TTC would not be easy for us but DH wanted to wait until our 1st anniversary to try. So on October 3rd, we tried for the first time and got pg that day. It was very surprising to us that it happened so fast. (DH was like "SEE, youre just crazy!") I lost the baby in December and had to have a D + C since I was far enough along and my body hadnt expelled the baby on my own. (they were worried about the risk of infection)

We started officially trying again (like proper trying with BBT and OPKS, etc.) by April and the drs. insisted it would probably happen quickly but after 4 months, said we should wait til at least October to run tests.
It didnt happen obviously and in October, we ran a bunch of blood tests but couldnt find anything wrong except that I am pre-diabetic. my OB suggested getting an HSG to see if there was an issue and that's when we discovered I had a septate uterus (heart shaped) I was referred to an RE to have it removed in November. During the surgery, he discovered the septate was larger than he had originally thought and found I had stage 3 endometriosis (it was everywhere, all over my uterus, bowel, ovaries, fallopian tubes.. but he worked away at it (for 3 hours!) and got it all out. on the follow up HSG he saw that there was still scar tissue in the uterus which he removed so that I cant pose future problems.

He believes that there were 3 problems for me, 1. was the septum is what he thinks caused the mc and may have been preventing pregnancies but needed to be removed since I only had a 25% chance of keeping any baby.
the second problem was the endo which may have been affecting ovulation and the egg getting safely to the uterus to meet the sperm and third- that my ovulation is just crazy and that I often O too late in the cycle for it to be safe and viable. (old egg, old lining etc)
SO the plan is to get my ass ovulating normally and get a kiddo in my asap before the endo can take over again.
question is how... we find out soon- stay tuned!
thats it for me... I TRIED to keep it brief but it didnt work

so, how was the dentist? any cavities?

 

[Afamilygal]

double post- my computer is acting spaz.

so, how was the dentist? any cavities?

Unfortunately, I had 2 very tiny cavities that he didn't end up seeing until the cleaning was over. They didn't get fixed today..because of course, they weren't noticeable.

You are one strong woman. That's really all I can say. I'm the type of person that gets so worked up over a scheduled routine pap smear. I had an abnormal one three years ago, and the nurse that explained it to me.. didn't do a good job. They wanted to run all these tests..and I got so scared, so I went for a second opinion at a new gyno. It came back normal. Following year, another abnormal.. at that point my anxiety was through the roof! My new doctor finally sat me down and explained what I can do to prepare myself for another pap (ex. no sex 2 days before - I also didn't use tampons the cycle before the re-test). Since then, every pap has come back normal.. but I was so scared. You... I don't know how you handled it. I've always been a "nervous-nelly", you are a stronger woman than I have EVER been! I really hope that everything works out for you and your husband, with everything you have been through.. you really deserve it!

I really hope you don't think bad of me after I say this.. but I have been pregnant before (and before the mc). I wasn't ready, wasn't married, in college, just didn't have the means to take care of a baby.. and I opted for a d+c. There isn't a day that I don't think about it, or worry that it is going to cause us problems in the future. I was 6 weeks.. but I remember the surgery. It was terrible. I am so sorry you had to go through that unwillingly.

The similarities between us are getting scary, how can two people from opposite sides of the country, have so much in common??

PS- don't save the balloon..

 

[Afamilygal]

Aw hon, listen. I would never judge you for the choices you have made. I am pro choice and believe every woman has a right to choose if and when she has a baby. But I don't blame you about the concern over the d+c, I was so scared of that too. Turns out since I have endometriosis, it really did possibly cause it to get worse but how could I have know ?
Have you asked your gyn about that?
If it was a long time ago, I'm sure you would have had more trouble getting of no?

Thanks for the kind words. It's weird to hear someone say they think I am strong. Irony feel it most of the time. so thanks.

I had an abnormal pap too, they did a keep procedure to get rid of the abnormal cells so I can tell you from experience that I know how freaked out you were. I was terrified! This was way back in 2007 but it is an easy fix, just keep havings those paps!

I hope we get lucky soon, I'm getting really tired of it all. But it has brought dhand I closer so at least there is some good too.

I'm writing this on my phone, sorry of there are major typos.

I hope you and your husband get a family too! I'll cross all my fingers and toes! Hey have you ever heard of preseed? I've heard from a lot of women that they have gotten of after using it. I bought some for the next cycle. I figure, Why not give it a shot?

We are alike- its funny! I'm totally a nervous Nelly too! Snap!

Hi Emily & Laine,

Sorry to be missing for awhile! My AF came today, but on the bright side it's another new month where I can plan it better!

Hey Emily, babydust that you are able to get a BFP! really hope that for you! As for me, I will plan it better with my DH this month

I will be more hardworking to plot my BBT chart and make sure DH will be around!!!!

Hope you ladies are doing well!

Sorry about your AF... don't worry.. I'm not far behind you. Another BFN this morning, and when I woke up I thought the witch had already come. not yet. I want her to get here so I can get it over with. Aw well... she'll be here by the 19th (when I'm due).

Haha and as for you planning it better next month, I'm going to as well. I'm gonna give it one more month TTC... and we are going back to everyday rather than everyother day.

Keep me posted! How long does your AF usually last? We'll be in the TTW together again!!!

Hey Emily,

So sorry for missing! It's public holiday here in and had a few days of rest. I went for a doc's appointment last week and had a cyst, went back today and was told the cyst is gone. good news!

I have booked myself in for a HSG procedure, hope this procedure will aid with me getting pregnant! so no these 2 days as everything will be flush out! (sorry TMI). will definitely keep you updated! Hope you will get a BFP this month!

ONE MORE DAY!!!!! I feel like I'm getting the balloon removed with you! So weird, I wake up this morning and one of the first things I think of is "one more day for Laine!".

I have mentioned it to my doctor whether or not that surgery would have any effect on future pregnancies.. and she said that it wouldn't unless there was scar tissue, and she didn't see any. But then again.. was she really looking for it?? Question of the hour that will bother me for weeks.

I've read of women on here that were using preseed, and I was curious to how it works. Is that where you inject lubricant that helps sperm, before sex? It's worth a shot.. anything to help that BFP along! After this month, if I don't get the result I'm waiting for , I will invest in some preseed!

So what is new with you today? Getting super excited? Do you have a list of questions to ask the doctor tomorrow? Is your DH going with you to you appointment...or is it safe for you to drive yourself?

Hi Emily & Laine,

Sorry to be missing for awhile! My AF came today, but on the bright side it's another new month where I can plan it better!

Hey Emily, babydust that you are able to get a BFP! really hope that for you! As for me, I will plan it better with my DH this month

I will be more hardworking to plot my BBT chart and make sure DH will be around!!!!

Hope you ladies are doing well!

Sorry about your AF... don't worry.. I'm not far behind you. Another BFN this morning, and when I woke up I thought the witch had already come. not yet. I want her to get here so I can get it over with. Aw well... she'll be here by the 19th (when I'm due).

Haha and as for you planning it better next month, I'm going to as well. I'm gonna give it one more month TTC... and we are going back to everyday rather than everyother day.

Keep me posted! How long does your AF usually last? We'll be in the TTW together again!!!

Hey Emily,

So sorry for missing! It's public holiday here in and had a few days of rest. I went for a doc's appointment last week and had a cyst, went back today and was told the cyst is gone. good news!

I have booked myself in for a HSG procedure, hope this procedure will aid with me getting pregnant! so no these 2 days as everything will be flush out! (sorry TMI). will definitely keep you updated! Hope you will get a BFP this month!

That is great news!!! I had a cyst once (that was documented- I'm sure that I have had more than that). So where are you in your cycle? Did your doctor give you the green light to TTC this month??

you are the sweetest- seriously. I cant WAIT, I called and made sure the Dr was going to have the time to talk with us about the next step and the nurse told me there was only 15 minutes allotted for us (WTF?) so its a good thing I am crazy and called cause we got it pushed back to 3:15 and we will have the time to speak with him.
fertility clinics... sheesh. they are great, but so busy... sometimes it is hard to remember that I'm not the only patient.

but DH will go with me. Im still on these pain killers and so I think driving the car all the way up there would be BAD. Im sort of worried that I have been on these NSAIDs for a LONG time now, 2 weeks. I hope it doesnt cause any issues next month for TTC... but I had to- it was so painful. they help to just make it uncomfortable. (dude- this is WAY tmi but the end of the foley/balloon- its a piece of the balloon like a tail has been sticking out a little bit for the WHOLE 2 weeks. it is driving me CRAZY! so gross I know, I didnt need to share that...)

SO what about you missy?! what day are you on again? I guess O is approaching eh? have you started BD yet?
pre-seed is the lubricant that you kind of inject into your lady parts (I dont think it takes much) its designed to help with cm but Ive heard it also helps to keep the cm thinner so that the sperm have a better shot of getting through... it also reduces the acidity of the vagina. might not work but its totally worth a shot! you can get it at any pharmacy I think.
I bought some and will be trying it next cycle in. I dont have any problems with the amount of cm but I wonder if it is thin enough... like you said- Ill try anything!
I actually started doing acupuncture for a month back in October but then I found out about the septum and since the surgery was so painfully expensive, I didn't feel like I could justify doing acupuncture too... but Ive heard a lot of women say really good things about it.

but the pre seed- not so expensive! check out this thread- very encouraging, I think you should try it. I dont know why I just have this really good feeling about it. for you more than for me. I have this overall funny feeling about you, like your BFP is close. I know that sounds super crazy... anyhoo. we shall see- lets hope Im right! I have been right about friends in the past! but dont hold me to it -Ive been wrong too, I just like guessing.

good lord- why are my posts always so freaking long??

Please don't think ANYTHING is TMI for me. I'm a very open person at this point in my life... I don't see the point in holding some stuff in. I would drive myself crazy if I had something partially hanging out of my "lady parts". Knowing me, I would try to fold it back in there lol

I really hope your feeling is right about me. I have something similar, I have this strange ability to tell someone whether they are having a boy or girl. It's kind of a running joke in my family and among friends. The real test is coming soon though- a woman I know has 4 boys, and they decided to try one more time for a girl. Well.. she's pregnant, and she called me for my opinion. I haven't talked to her since college, so I had no idea how many boys or lack of girls she had. I told her a girl- and she will find out in two weeks.

Don't worry about the NSAIDs you've been taking. I had an emergency appendectomy and was put on hydrocodone and some other amazing drugs, and it had NO effect on me when conceiving. Besides, I'm sure your doctor would have prescribed you something different if he/she thought it would pose an issue with TTC. It's not like all these surgeries are for nothing!!! They know what the goal is!

Remember.. by April, we will both be pregnant. We'll look back on these talks and giggle while we are sharing ultrasound pictures and stories of extreme gas and exhaustion. I'm in this for the long-haul with you, if you are!
