[dove830]

Hey all,
No worries. Mommy and baby are perfectly fine. Turns out that like all our other babies this one has a larger than average head and is already head down which is causing all my pain. Supposed to see an OB next week to discuss in more detail.

OMG, that's horriblr! I really hope they can do something for you, so that you don't need to go the next 20+ weeks suffering....

Tasha--I think you're having a September baby? My daughter is a September baby....summer is HOT, but it's a great time to have a baby So excited!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Army-So glad everything's okay!

Dove-Hehe! Yup, I looked it up on the internet and it says I'm due for September 10th! I figured summer would be hot, lol! Last time I was pregnant, it was summer and my temperature soared right away. It's not doing that now, which I think is better...people were saying it was abnormal for me to get symptoms like that early on! Dove! I didn't know you had a daughter! How old is she??

My DD is 6--born on the 13th of September, and my DS is 4, born July 14th, Little One is due on July 11th, so we'll have 2 birthdays close together Invest in a good air conditioner!!

Tasha you must post progression pics!! I know you're testing everyday!

 

[Tasha S.]

Wow Dove! So you're pregnant with #3!!! That's so sweet! You have a nice little family started up there!

Lol Alley!!! I laughed when I read your post! I actually haven't tested again, but I'm thinking about testing in a few days just to have a really nice dark line BFP...at the same time, I don't want to waste money! My very sore breasts are proof enough! How are you doing?? Are you still taking ACV?? Alley, you should really try FertiliTea by Fairhaven. That's what helped me get pregnant. I really believe in that stuff! I only took if for 4 days before ovulation and it worked! I'm totally keeping my Fx for you!

Tasha - I am here loathing in my TWW. I feel like I am out this cycle. All I have are some pinches and cramps which are pretty normal for me. I don't have any other symptoms. Btw, I was just reading back and saw you had mentioned how much CM you had this month. I completely think that's what got you preggo! I really lack CM so I will try FertiliTea next cycle because I will need it due to me getting on Clomid. I am taking EPO and Fertilaid with FertilCM now but the improvement in CM isn't that great. I hope the Preseed helped. I stopped temping right after I got my crosshairs from FF. I feel kind of lost!

Tasha, congratulations. What wonderful news to start off the new year.

So nice to hear the preggo ladies are getting bumps and feeling kicks.

AFM, going to start my OPK's tomorrow just in case I o early but probably not O'ing for another week. I may have to try that tea, I do get some CM but not as much as I'd like.
Happy New Years everyone and Zi hope we can all get our rainbow babies this year.

 

[threemakefive]

Dove our kids are close in age.... my son just turned five a week ago so this baby will be close to his bday and dd will be 7 in march

Really hoping for some more bfps ladies!! Fingers crossed!

Dear May! I'm sorry you're having a rough TWW. Those really suck! I completely agree that lots of CM gave me a better chance of conceiving. Honestly, I had lots of CM before the m/c and didn't have a hard time conceiving, but then after the m/c I went really dry (I'm guessing hormone imbalance or change?). Just 5 days taking the FertiliTea brought me back to where I used to be in terms of CM...and then some! Hun, I wish you all the best! I'm glad you're going to try the tea! And I wish you the best of luck on Clomid. I'd hate to build false hopes, but don't count yourself out yet for this cycle! Sometimes you just don't get symptoms right away!

Congrats Tasha what a way to start 2013!! Thats fab news. I'm off to google that tea and see if it can get shipped to the UK. I did look a while ago but think I'll have another scout around the internet.
What symptoms did you have in the tww?

May just chill out and take it easy hun, would be great to get a BFP for you OH birthday (I did read that didnt I?)

Dove when do you plan on telling work? Or is it a case of how long it can stay a secret?

Lisa I cant believe you are 19 weeks already - wow!

Sunny, good luck this month hun, I'm sooooo behind you getting a BFP!

AFM - I think I O'd today (woop woop) we bd 1st, 2nd and today, got a peak om CBFM yesterday and a not quite positive opk (not sure if it was because I missed the surge or was too early?!) Anyway, I think I O'd from my non tube side so not getting excited this month as I no that the chances are very slim. But I have O'd earlier (CD15-16) as opposed to CD19 so at least I am going into the tww and can get to the next cycle where I O from my right side quicker - every cloud has a silver lining!

 

[stacergirl]

Hi ladies! I'd like to join if possible! Im on CD 9 today and using the SMEP so we bd yesterday. I will begin OPKs tomorrow. I usually ovulate around CD 13-15. My cycles are on the shorter end though, 24-26 days. I'm giving it a month or two more before we try clomid. Weve been tested with no problems, but ive never been pregnant before and It's been almost 2 years of trying -so it's wearing on me. Good luck ladies!!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Welcome Stacergirl!

Emily - yup, DH's bday is in 2 weeks. AF is due next week and I hope she stays away. I really don't have any unusal symptoms but I really hope we did it this month. I am tired of the let down. I really would like to stay away from Clomid if possible since I don't have any EWCM to begin with. Sounds like you are in your fertile time! Better continue the sexy time! Goodluck!

 

[Jessica28]

A year today since my loss. It is so hard to believe. Sometimes it feels like it's been forever and other times it just feels like yesterday. It hit me hard when I woke up this morning but I went back to work today and was really busy so I didn't have too much time to dwell on it. Also my grandmother is having a hell of a time recovering from her open heart surgery and my Dad has been in the hospital twice since the 27th of December. He is having heart problems again and will go in the hospital again on Tuesday depending on the results of his stress test. It really wasn't much of a Christmas/holiday for me. With mom and dad being gone I was running back and forth between houses looking after my grandmother the best I could. It was exhausting. Been having some back pain today (feels like a mild period pain) so while I still have 5 weeks left, I have a feeling I will have this baby before my due date!

I am so glad today wasn't too hard on me though. I will never forget who and what might have been but so thankful for this little miracle inside me.

May--I HATE the TWW, I'm far too impatient, lol.

Bride--you have such an amazing attitude. I wish I was half a positive as you.

Yes, I want to hold off telling work as long as possible, but I don't think that'll be much longer. I don't have clothing big enough to hide my bump, and my regular clothing looks ridiculous. Also, my work always holds their x-mas party in January, so it's next weekend. All that will fit me that is even a little dressy is a pair of maternity slacks, and a maternity sweater, so, I'll be "out" on July 12th, at 14 weeks, 2 days....not much I can really do about it, unfortunately...

 

[Tasha S.]

Welcome Stacergirl!! I hope you find all the support you're looking for on this thread! We have a very friendly little group here, so I'm sure you will!

Jessica-I'm so sorry some of your family members are having health problems, that you're exhausted, and that yesterday was a bit rough on you. Anniversaries of sad events are always difficult. I'm glad to see that you seem a little hopeful though! And super excited for you to give birth and be able to hold your rainbow baby!! Keep us posted!!! xoxo

Dove-First off, how did your scan go???? Didn't you go yesterday??? I hope your work Christmas party goes well and that you'll be able to be happy about the news with your co-workers! Thinking of you!

Sunny-I agree with Bride, I can't wait to see you get that second line!!

May-What's up, hun?? How are you doing??

Bride-YAY for ovulation!!!! You asked what symptoms I had had in my TWW, and I'm tempted to say NONE! The day before I tested, my nipples were burning and a bit swollen (although that unusual, considering after my m/c, this has incorporated itself into my cycle), and my breasts were hurting (though not more than usual), I was a bit more tired (but again, it's the holidays, so it's normal to feel lazy in the afternoon), and a bit more hungry. Honestly, I really didn't expect this BFP. Hope that answers any questions you might have had!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Jessica - I can relate to you and having to deal with a family of patients. My dad has been diagnosed with a heart condition recently and it's been a world of worries and hospital/doctor's visits. Even though its been a year since your loss, You are pregnant now and will soon meet your baby! Feel better!

Dove - I am soooo impatient as well! I hate the dreaded TWW!

Tasha - I wish I have more to report but I don't feel pregnant and have no symptoms. I almost feel too normal! Sigh!
