A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Bibliophile]

Yesterday's OPK was back to baseline negative. We did BD, but not until late at night, so we'll have to see. I'm skeptical. But we're off to the amusement park today. (Pushing it timing wise, I know, but we are in desperate need of some him and I fun.)

Hi Ladies!!!

Nicki, Here's to August hopefully being the month!!!!

Brittany, isnt it amazing how men work. They usually complain that they dont get it enough and then when we are thrown into situations like this, this happens. Although I dont have this issue with my hubby, I can imagine it being really frustrating. They have to understand that timing in CRUCIAL when ttc! I hope that you were able to get in some good BDing and you guys enjoy your HIM and HER time

I hope all of you ladies are doing well I woke up with a really terrible headache this morning. I even caved and tooked something for it (thats how bad it is) and nothing. I just want to leave work and go home

Honey – everything is looking great!!!

NTAT – you are almost there!!! So excited for you! I think I will go check out your scan pics too!!!

Bibio – have you tried the OPK’s with the smilie face? I have such a hard time with the lines. TTC does put a lot of pressure on the guys, its hard with trying to time things because it feels more like a job to them and they don’t like that. Such a small part they have in the baby making process but it still seems so hard for them.

AFM – still feeling really nauseous but it’s the progesterone. I don’t know how much more I can take as I really don’t feel like eating anything and taking my prenatals has been tough. When the progesterone wears off a bit a start to feel better but when I insert another it’s back to feeling like crap. I am going to call my doctor today to see if there’s something I can take for it. I have my next appointment/scan on Friday.

Biblio -- I agree with Beach. I normally use the cheapie opks and then confirm with the digital smilies, that way I dont use too many. Those tests are expensive!

NTAT -- any news? baby's coming!

Beach -- excited for your next scan?

AFM - my next scan is this morning at 1130. I dont know why I keep getting so nervous before I go (since everything has been fine so far) but I'm still so scared!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi Honey

No sign of baby coming yet - I'm getting impatient now, although I know it could be 3 weeks plus

Just trying to get the house in order and cook batches of stuff to freeze. A tip off a friend as cooking won't be high on our list of priorities in the early days.
I've done batches of spaghetti bolognese and lasagne so far. Standing up for long periods is getting hard though.

I'll be thinking of you for today's scan - although I think beanie is doing just fine in there. Here's some good luck dust just in case

No, I don't have any problems reading them so I think digis would be a gigantic waste of money for me. My positives are always pretty obvious. Just the one that got darker after the 5 minutes was weird.

Good luck today, Honey!

GL! You're in my thoughts today

Hi Ladies! Hope everyone is well!

Honey, good luck today with your scan!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Hope the scan went well Honey

 

[BeachChica]

Honey - just checking in on you with your scan! Its hard not to stress but everything is going great for you!!!

 

[honeyprayer]

Thank you for all the well wishes today ladies I really cannot express how much your support means to me!

Scan went well, I guess :/ Heartbeat was strong at 176bpm but bean was measuring 8w5d so a day behind, but my RE said not to worry about that. We also saw a small SCH which could explain my bleeding -- he said its really tiny and chances are it'll reabsorb.

Next scan is next Thursday at 10am so hopefully bean will still be doing well!

 

[mommylov]

A day behind is totally normal hun! As long as your little bean's heart is pitter-pattering away and its growing like it should (Which it is), everything will be great!

 

[cruise]

Sounds like it went fantastic and you have an explanation for the bleeding on top of it all!

Remember two things:

1. Babies grow in spurts. With the frequency of your scans you had to catch it "behind" sooner or later. I bet it's gearing up for another one soon.
2. These dates are a lower bound on its actual measurement! Your baby is still so tiny a mm could make a difference. So things like curled up position, angle, etc. could make a huge difference.

 

[Nicki123]

Sounds to me like the scan went great Honey!

everyone else, flying visit as DH and I are both poorly with some dodgy stomach bug.

 

[honeyprayer]

Boo to the stomach bug! Hope you feel better soon

Are you cd7 already?! Time is flying! Soon it'll be time so get better!

 

[Nicki123]

I know I can't believe how quickly time is going! Will start my opks on Sat I think

 

[NewToAllThis]

Honey - a day is nothing and as Cruise said, it could be that he/she is just curled up tight. Baby is so small at this stage that even a fraction of a mm can make a difference.

Nicki - sorry you're poorly. Hope you feel better soon

 

[wookie130]

Honey, that's great! Measuring 1 day behind means absolutely NOTHING. I'd say the baby was looking perfect... what an awesome heartbeat. Definitely in the girl range of heart rates there...not that it REALLY means anything, as Hannah is a girl, and her heartrate was always in the slower "boy range"...so, it's not an exact science by any means!

 

[BeachChica]

Honey -great news on your scan! Like the other girls said, a day is nothing and you are really at the mercy of where the US tech puts the curser to start the measurement.

Nicki - sorry you are not feeling well. The stomach bugs are awful!

 

[mommylov]

Nicki, we get to start OPK's soon!!!!!!!

NTAT, wookie, Beach, cruise, and anyone that I have missed... how are you ladies doing???

Honey, I hope this next week flies by! Itll be thursday before we know it!
