With this pregnancy, i o'd super late too..like cd20+ (im not sure the exact cd though) but that was mainly because of the injectibles--long protocol i was on. your lp is good, even if its long!

I was catching up on my Private Practice yesterday and heard Violet go on a rant and she said this powerful sentence that struck me. that when I head it (even though she was not talking about ttc or anything like that) I realized that anyone going though what we have gone through can relate. The women who get pregnant easliy (like as in less than a yr and never experienced mc's) and go on to have a full term none complicated pregnancies cannot get the clarity that we have the knowledge of b/c they have not had our exepriences. : Violet on Private Practice " To hell with easy I don't trust easy. Anything worth having shouldn't be easy because then you take it for granted....and is worth fighting for.."

thought I might share

 

[Emmediva]

Beach, it's understandable, I was like that after I miscarried in December I got back on the bandwagon in February though and had that chemical in March, then got my rainbow in May. I hope the supplements work better for you and you get your rainbow straight away

Sooper, it's been a long cycle for you huh? I wish you could know before Monday, waiting is what sucks.

Ambi, I can send you my fertility cocktail/pharmacopia send me your email address privately. I hope you get some answers, I got tested for all sorts of things with this pregnancy after they tracked my chemical in March, they took 9 vials of blood

Monro, glad you are feeling better, yeah it's no fun being preggo and sick, especially since you can't really take anything. And sneezing while your uterus is stretching, talk about OUCH!

AFM, my cold is wearing off, good riddance. I am finally 24 weeks!! my lil bean is no longer a fetus but a baby Wow 6 months officially time is flying! Make it slow down some! I had with OH Tuesday night and when I went to the toilet I had some light spotting, went away really quick, I hate spotting I know what caused it though... he stimulated my nipples which the OB/Gyn said is a no-no, so I told him we would wait 2 weeks and try again with no nipple stimulation, if I spot again then no more Going to my appt tomorrow and will let the doctor know...

 

[ayclobes]

Emme - dh and i had the other night--since my bbs/nipples are super sore all the time..no stimulation and he knew this ahead of time, also i told him he cant go in deep lol tmi just b/c im nervous that'll cause spotting and i told him when i get farther along..like 36w+ he can do that all he wants lol. annnd i'm a lil less than 3wks behind you!

 

[notoptimistic]

soop - You are either pregnant or your opk was faulty!

 

[Emmediva]

Ayclobes, at doing what he wants once you're 36 weeks, I hope you don't regret your words Yeah once I'm 36 weeks I'll be trying to rape my OH every day They say helps speed labor, so I will definately be trying it Eeek can you believe it's exactly 12 weeks from today, 15 weeks for you! OMG!!! I'm going to walk, jump & dance try to help baby come out at that time

 

[ayclobes]

Emme - i'm sure i wont regret my words, i told him i'd probably be feeling...."omg, hes got to come out"--based on my family history..labors are pretty short...1-3hrs max..so heres to hoping! dh's bday is 1/10..so hes secretly hoping he'll come around then. I'm secretly hoping end of january but not the 31st! we're tryna adopt our great nephew who's 8mo..so i'd rather have atleast a year between them! (he'll be 1 1/31)

 

[Sooperhans]

Ayc and Emme, it's all progressing well for you both! Emme - I'll remember the nipple thing as I didn't know that caused spotting once you are pg. 7

Monro - a good sentiment! The amount of people I know who have announced their pg and have sailed through the other side....so easy breezy for some! I will be so excited one day to be able to have had a scan, see everything is OK and just look forward to an arrival.

Notop - how are you? I'm afraid neither parts of your statement were true....I got AF the bitch witch today, CD40!!? My body is having a giraffe!!!

So I have decided for lots of positive action - I'm going to get hb on male vits (any recommendations, wellman?), hb has been nagging me to get back into a routine, so think I'm joining the gym again, and I'm also going to look into acupuncture. I hope it will help regulate periods/de-stress/help with fertility.

How often is best for acu? Budget taken into account....is once a month too few? Advice would be great, thanks xxx

How is everyone?

Hi girls,

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while to offer you all support, I don't have as much free time as I used to. I haven't even had time to stalk the thread so I've just caught up on the last few pages - hope I haven't missed any big news

Lexi, Ayc and Wookie - your pregnancies are flying by . I found that the weeks after wk30 went really really fast. I hope your little babies don't keep you waiting too long after 40 weeks! Well done on getting the nursery sorted Lexi, look forward to seeing some pics

Congrats Nicki on your new bean - I hope this one's a sticky one - good luck!

Beach, Soop and anyone else who's TTC, hope life is being kind and lots of and to you for your next cycle.

Hi to anyone else I've missed

AFM, everything is good and I'm enjoying being a mummy. Elsa is such an easy baby, I feel very blessed. We're getting out and about and going to a baby music group, baby massage and a rhyme time at the library and I meet up with the other mums from my NCT group. She changes every week - it amazes me how much she's growing and changing. She's got lovely squidgy cheeks, arms and legs now - I could just eat her!

Anyway, really just wanted to pop in to say I hadn't forgotten you all

 

[Sooperhans]

Lovely to hear from you Lady! Elsa sounds adorable!!! All the classes sound great, I've heard really good things about the massage. Are you still bfing? Thanks for the

 

[Sooperhans]

Btw, still getting nausea even though af is here. Has anyone else had it? It's frustrating that af symptoms are mirroring pg symptoms even more closely...grr x

 

[monro84]

Emme- I did not know about nipple stimulation either. Glad you are getting over you cold. I am getting over mine as well. Let us know about your appt today.

Soop- So sorry af got you hopefully that witch stays away for halloween and that it will not be a long cycle this time. That is odd when a cycle goes that long. Have you thought about temping this cycle?
Not sure on the nausa thing.

AFM-- well I bd yesteaday morning and this morning and tues evening but skipped wed. I hope I O today but my opk was getting dark yesterday but took it this monring at 5 with fmu (yes I know a no no) and it was light again but then took at 7:30 anf it was darker than yestedays but still not positlve. I have a very short surge so I have to take it a few times a day to catch it. I just hate I cannot really drink anything all day so it will not get deluited. I think I will do another one around 10 am.

 

[notoptimistic]

soop - I am doing ok considering that my last miscarriage was back in January 2011 and I can't seem to get pregnant anymore. IVF #1 failed and I am about to move on to #2 (a FET cycle- I have 13 blasts on ice!) but my af is very late. I took a blood test Wednesday to see if I had even ovulated and they are telling me that I just recently ovulated. Normally my cycles are 36-41 days, but looks like this one will be closer to 50 days. Maybe my longest cycle ever. Very frustrating. BTW, coincidentally you were asking about acupuncture yesterday and I had my first acupuncture appointment last night! It was relaxing and I really hope it helps. The doctor (acupuncturist) thinks it will. He told me my energy is weak in my kidneys and that the blood flow/circulation in my uterus area isn't strong enough to hold and nourish a baby. Who knows how he determined that? All he did was check my pulse on both wrists and my tongue. Anyway, he wants me to come back once a week and it is $90 a session. This guy doesn't take health insurance so I need to pay out of pocket. My health plan covers 100% acupuncture after $40 co-pay for 20 visits a year, but this guy doesn't take it. I might just go with it until my FET cycle is done.

 

[Ambivalent]

You learn so much TTC, especiallty when things go wrong. And speaking of wrong, I'd like to ask you all a question because I think I am going crazy.

Is it possible to do something to get false positives? I.e. can food supplements or anything else make that extra line appear?

I am 10 DPO and have just POASx2. Both positive. BUT, since I have had a positive test on every cycle since June, it doesn't feel like a cause for celebration. Can it really be posible that I am having a cp (assuming I'll lose this one) 4 cycles in a row?

Soop, that sounds really positive, my doctor was very big on getting into a routine of positivity, whether yoga or accupuncture.

Speaking of, notoptimistic, did you feel good after your session? Can you feel the needles? I have never tried it but am considering giving it a go - only the idea of it doesn't seem very relaxing to me.

Monro, hope you managed to catch it. I tried opks once and found it quite stressful so have given up on them and use a ferning scope now instead which I find much easier (and cheaper).

 

[BeachChica]

Ambi - I have never heard of anything causing so many positives. Can you go in to your doctors office for bloodwork just to see what's going on? I would go in ASAP before anything changes with your levels.
Oh how I hope its a real BFP for you!!!!!

 

[notoptimistic]

ambivalent - Oddly enough, I did feel good after the appointment. I felt more relaxed. The needles didn't hurt too much. Only some of them hurt a little (very mildly) when they were first put in and then later when they were manipulated a bit by the doc. Some insertions of the needles were completely pain free. I guess it depends on the spots. Definitely less painful than IVF injections!

 

[thurl30]

Hi everyone :wave:

How are you all doing?

Sorry I haven't been about much, my mother in-law has just started her first round of chemotherapy and it's been a bit stressful, hasn't left me much time to catch up here.

Amb I have never heard of anything else causing false positives, I would definately see a medical practitioner to get it looked in to, I really hope this is a real bfp hun

Beach how are you doing?

Lady fab to hear from you hun, and so lovely to hear how well you are doing

Soop love the positive actions I was thinking about acupuncture, have you had it before?

Monro hope you're doing ok, fx this cycle is the one

Hi and to everyone else I have missed xx

I had my ultrasound this morning, all went ok, the lady said my ovaries aren't "particularly enlarged", and said the left one looked normal, and the right one did have lots of follicles but this is generally normal too, she didn't seem to concerned that I have PCOS and basically gave me the idea that my ovaries are fine. She said that my blood results will confirm whether they are functioning so now I need to wait until next Monday to find out whether I have it or not.

CD15 today, I don't think I am anywhere near O'ing, my temps are relatively stable at the moment though so I'm hopeful of getting that lovely temp spike again this cycle

 

[Nicki123]

Hi lovely ladies. Back from my hols, had a wonderful time. It was hot, sunny and I slept and relaxed so much. Perfect. Have caught up but prob forgotten lots....

Lady lovely to hear from you, your little lady sounds adorable.

Wookie, thanks for the baby dust. I keep in touch with patiently on fb, it has been a couple of weeks mind you but I plan to contact her after my scan on weds. Everyone was going well for her last time we messaged and I'll let her know you said Hi.

Soop - sorry about the witch arriving. But I love your plan of action!! Re acu, my lady liked to see my twice a month on average but I know it's pricey so worth asking if once a month is better than nothing. Personally i love acu and my acu lady is like a therapist, i love talking to her. Good luck

Ayclobes, Emme and lexi, glad things are going well for you x

Monro and notopt, good luck to you this cycle

Ambi - v odd about all your positives! I really hope this is it for you but if not I think you should ask the dr.

Hi Beach - I hope you're doing ok.

Thurl - sounds like good news from the scan? I hope you get more answers on Monday and it's all good news

Hi everyone else

Afm, have my next scan on Wednesday. Preparing myself for the worst but hoping for the best. There isn't much more I can do... The holiday has been a blessing at helpin me pass the time.

 

[wookie130]

I'm still full of hope for you Nicki! Thanks for telling Patiently "hi" from me! I've been wondering how things have been going for her. I've got everything crossed for you both!
