Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

[armymama2012]

Please pray. Went to ER today for sharp pain on my left side. Ultrasounds were inconclusive but they said it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a large cyst on my left ovary. Going back on Wednesday for HCG check and probably on Friday for follow-up ultrasound. I don't want to have to end a pregnancy I worked for a year for!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Army - hope all goes well.

Lisa - I am sure your rainbow baby is nice and snug in there. No worries!

Kristina - How was your weekend? Think you got them eggs?

Hi to all newbies!

So here's another one of those "the grass is always greener on the other side" stories... DH's nephew and wife had a hard time conceiving their first child years ago because he was on lots of medication due to kidney disease. 4 years later when they were about to give up, they got pregnant and was blessed with a baby girl. Another year later, they were pregnant again. After the second child, they didn't want anymore children so his wife got an IUD. Just today I found out they are pregnant again even with the IUD. Now they are complaining that the IUD failed and said they are depressed because they have to have a third child. WTH? I can't have one baby even when I wanted to. People don't want anymore babies but they keep getting pregnant! I am fed up!

Hi ladies! I just wanted to update you all on the birth of my rainbow baby, Caleb! He was born on 22 Sept weighing 5 lbs and 9 oz. He decided to come at 36w3d but is completely healthy! He was also my first medication free birth (the ring of fire is truly the ring of fire lol) and I am so proud. He's beautiful. I just wanted to say thank you all for your support earlier this year after my ectopic. SMEP is awesome, and we might try that again when we are ready for the next one (it won't be for a LOOOOONNNNG while - the birth is still too fresh in my mind).

I wish you all the best in your TTC and pregnancy journeys. Congrats on those who got their !

 

[Sunny skies]

Welcome newcomers, good luck with SMEP.

Lisa, stay positive, your numbers are great.

May, I know what you mean, hearing shit like that gets me so frustrated.

Army, I hope it's not etopic, glad your getting things checked out. Keep us posted.

Krystina, sounds like you've been buzy FXD for you.

AFM, getting ready to O, any day now I hope.

Congrats Lovebot on another smep baby. Thanks for the update

 

[snowflakes120]

Army - Sending you lots of prayers. I hope that the HCG levels will give you a better idea of what is going on and hope you feel better soon.

Congrats Lovebot. Welcome to the world Caleb!

May - I was shopping yesterday and I heard a girl (who had a child in a stroller) telling the cashier to never have kids!! I rolled my eyes and walked away.

AFM, 5w5d and they found a Gestational Sac and Yolk Sac. It's more than they found last time. RE seemed pleased - said it's really early still and that is all they usually find. I am pretty happy and somewhat relieved. Since we moved onto the U/S they will no longer be monitoring my levels - I a kinda happy about that because it was causing me more stress I believe. I go back next week Friday on Oct. 12 so we'll see what progresses - hoping for a fetal pole and quite possibly a heartbeat. I am in the clear for today at least.

I had this happen with this pregnancy. I was convinced it was ectopic because of the sharp pain, ended up it was a cyst, seen it on a 7 week ultrasound. By 11 week ultrasound it was gone. Praying you get the same results!

 

[jrowenj]

Army- keeping you in my thoughts

May- sorry about having to deal with people acting that way. People are dumb!

Lisa - only one sac?! Heehehe. Glad your appt went well. Def gonna see that flickering hb next week!

Welcome newbies!

Bev - can't believe sofia is 3 weeks old already omg!

Afm- todays my 2nd wedding anniversary. We celebrated yesterday by taking time off from renovating. Just lounged on the couch watching movies and made dinner together. Just a nice reminder that although this ttc is stressful... To try and focus on the positive in your life like the love of your life standing next to you during this tough journey. We are all so lucky to have found that love that some people never find : )

 

[krystinab]

Morning ladies. This thread is buzzing this morning!!

Army- I am praying that you and your bean will be just fine!

Lisa- I am glad they found the sac's I know it is a relief to you! I cant wait until you get to see your lil gummie!

Lets go May!! This has to be your month! Has your cd2 bloodwork come back yet?

Welcome foxy! Good luck!

Sunny, I really hope you catch that egg. We are like 3 days apart...praying we get our BFP three days a part too!

Love- Awesome news about Caleb! Happy both you and him are healthly

KD what CD are you? I think you should be Oing right after Sunny!

Happy 2nd Anniversary Jamie!! Heres to 50 more!

AFM, well I need to change DHs name to Roger cause we had sex like rabbits this weekend! I am praying that we caught the egg or eggs....when two egg drop do they do it at the same time? I told myself that even if I did only drop a egg on my right side, who's to say I cant have a perfectly healthy baby? I read that 15% of HCG show blockages when there isnt any issue. I wish the damn RE would just tell me what she thinks. My nurse said based on the HCG I "may" have a blockage...so me being the positive woman I am take that to mean I have no issues

 

[snowflakes120]

Krystina - If you drop 2 eggies they will both ovulate within 24 hours of eachother. Thought of you and Emily this weekend when I was eating Gummy Bears - I can never resist them at the Target checkout!

[Sunny skies]

Congrats lovebot, nice to hear SMEP worked for you after your etopic, especially since I had an etopic too. Gives me hope.

Welcome foxykins, hope SMEP works for you.

Lisa, that's great news, I'm sure your able to relax a little more and start enjoying this time. l know you'll have great news your next ultrasound too.

Army, How are you feeling today?

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Kristina - I am hoping there were two eggs! Double the chance! My blood work didn't come back yet. I probably won't get the results till I go back after my ultrasound appt.

Jaime - happy anniversary! Thanks for the reminder to be thankful of what we have now even though a baby is not in our lives right now.

Lisa - I am so excited for you!

Army - any news???

happpy anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[armymama2012]

Feeling better but no time to rest with packing, cleaning, and a toddler. Basically if I start spotting or have pain that Tylenol wont lessen then I go back to the ER. Still waiting on the lady to call to schedule my next ultrasound.

Ugh....well now we found out that we have to pay $1000 to get the car fixed because we drove too long without an oil change. Basically means living off of as little money as we can bare and selling everything we dont use.

 

[Kdk24]

Krystina... I literally laughed out loud in a coffee shop after reading your pot about changing you hubs name! You are too funny!!!

I should O today? DTD thurs and fri night and will be bd'ing again tonight and tomorrow. I had loads of thick white cm (tmi sorry) yesterday and today pressure and tingling, pretty sure I'm O'ing today/tonight.

So much is going on this morning! Another smep baby, u/s and good news!!! such a positive feeling this afternoon!
