Ladies!

Long time, no speak! Gosh, I go AWOL for 8 weeks or so and look how many pages I've missed! I've read through over 100 pages of posts today and still haven't been able to catch up!

Definitely won't be leaving it so long next time, just wish it was easier to access this page from my phone- it's not very iphone friendly for me (I am a bit of a technology moron!)

Anyway, it's sooooo great to see SMEP babies arriving and SMEP babies growing! Congratulations to all the new arrivals and such beautiful names too!

Jaime, can't believe you're so far along now and we LOVE the name Blake! It was on our shortlist but we are from Birmingham in England and the accent we have when pronouncing Blake Yates(our surname) makes is kind of sound like one strange long name!

I'm sorry to read that so many amongst us have had some ups and downs lately I hope things are getting better for you. I have my fingers crossed that we see more BFP's soon

AFM- well, I've got a sticky baby it seems! I'm now 15weeks+4 days, had a scan every week from 7weeks- 12 weeks and everything looks great. Managed to last about 2 weeks from the 12 week scan and had another one last week just to manage our own anxiety after two losses. We will be going for another scan this coming Friday to find out the gender then we have a 20 week scan booked for 3rd Dec which is the NHS one so hopefully they will confirm what the gender scan said! We listen to the baby's heartbeat twice a day with the doppler. Only thing we are struggling slightly with is making memories for this baby which is a shame. We hardly have any bump pics and we haven't started the pregnancy journal yet

I think after we have been to the gender scan it might make it seem more real for us so I'm hoping we will get started on making memories this weekend. We won't be telling our families/friends the gender straight away, I have made a movie on windows movie maker with lots of quotes and pics (with a nod to our lost babies, in rememberence) and the backing track is The Beatles "Here comes the sun", just need to do the final slide as it currrently says "We are delighted to announce that we are expecting a baby boy/girl" lol need to delete as appropriate.

Will be checking back on here every day again so I don't miss so much!

Sending love to all


Lou

Krystina... The storm wan't too bad in the city, but everything around us is flooded and without power. I've had to work both days also. BOOOOO!
Also, got crazy bad cramps yesterday and massive bloating (painful). I've been testing with my CB digi ovulation and it's been negative since cd11, but this morning I got another positive!!! What the hell is going on?!?!?!
I hope your enjoying every second of dtd!!! Get that egg lady!!!
Redmonkeysock... Congrats on your sticky bean!!! I don't think i've seen you since i've started this thread. Nice to meet you!

Hi Kristina! Sandy has left the building! Yay! That bitch had me worried the whole time but thank God it didn't do much to me. AF is due probably Fri/Sat, although she was late last month. I have practically no SX so I am counting myself out this cycle. I have a feeling this is the cycle for you with all that BD! Good luck!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

KDK, you are either ovulating again or you might be expecting a BFP! I would BD just in case.

 

[BeverleyLN]

So sorry to hear of your mom, my mom had a hysterectomy when i was younger and they found cancer they hadn't noticed so it was a good thing they did it or she would have died from it in 10 years! I know how you feel and her with worry but I bet it will just fine!! Sometimes Mom's need you to be their mom Sorry to hear about the tenants and the house hope you get it squared away quickly...how far of a move will it be for you to get back in that house?
Poor Sofia, colic stinks, my son didn't have colic but was allergic to nearly all the formula we used so alot of the same symptoms and Dr. Brown bottles saved the day!! Hope that keeps helping her and she grows out of it quickly!!

 

[jrowenj]

Hey girls. I live a few miles from the shore and we got demolished. Pretty devastating. My house is still standing so I suppose I should be grateful for that and our safety. Will be without power for the next week possibly. Can only charge my phone in the car so will be updating less frequently

 

[shellideaks]

Hope you get sorted soon Jaime, glad you're okay. x

 

[krystinab]

May- youre not out until AF is here...fx for you girl.

Jamie- I am glad your house is ok...NJ got hit hard! I hope they restore power sooner than later.

Red- I like that idea of the video with the baby's sex!

Bev- sorry about Sophia & your mom...I know they are the most important ladies in your life!

KD- you may not have O'd during your first +. They say stress can casue a delayed O. I think if you dropped two eggs it would have been within 24 hours! You need to be getting it in NOW!!

AFM, yesterday was my 2nd day BD'ing and I think my insides are about to come out...I am usually good but I think we hit the mark with O, I got bad cramps after Bding so I dont think I will be able to keep up with SMEP with sex today too...BOOOOO Thinking I will skip today and try tomorrow, unless DH wants to...really hoping we caught that egg.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Jaime - I was thinking about you. I remembered you said you lived not too far from Jersey Shore. NJ was hit hard. I hope you and your family are ok and that things will get back to somewhat normal soon.

Kristina - thanks girl! I have been bloated and crampy so I think AF is in her way. I refuse to test but I am sure I'll give in soon. Lol. Hope you caught the egg!

Bev - hope your mom and Sophie is ok.

 

[Tasha S.]

Hey girls!! I don't have time to catch up with the thread right now, but I wanted to drop in and say that I tested this morning at 11DPO with a cheapie (dollar store!) and BFN! I did it at 5:40am to catch that first morning urine...I lost a lot of sleep over that! :s

May, I'm with you. I think I'm going to get AF anytime now...But there's still hope!! All the best to you!!!

[Kdk24]

May... Keeping fx'd for you! Stay away witch!
Krystina... Thanks for the advice. Glad you got some quality bd'ing in! Get the egg my friend!
Jamie... Sorry about all that's going on! I can only imagine what you're going through. A close friend of ours has a shore house in Sea Isle and it's completely destroyed. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers!
Afm... Use an OPK again this morning and it was positive again!! I'm just gonna keep testing and see what happens?!?

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Kdk - I think the same thing happened to Army and she got her BFP that cycle!

 

[28329]

I got positive opks 16dpo and 17dpo. Tested 18dpo and got a dark bfp. Good luck!!

 

[jrowenj]

I'm going stir crazy. And to think our renovations are a week away from being done and we have no power for prob a week... There goes thanksgiving : (

 

[Tasha S.]

I got positive opks 16dpo and 17dpo. Tested 18dpo and got a dark bfp. Good luck!!

28329 - Did you get any BFN's before the BFP due to early testing?? I only got my positive OPK on CD 20, and I tested this morning on 11 dpo and got a BFN...still too early maybe?
