Aphrodites Concieving Rabbits in 2011

[Joli]

2016--I LOVE your name choices! Congrats again! When do I get to see his pretty little face?

Chia--Thanks for the good luck wishes. Same to you!

Nevertogether--I'm happy you are getting a chance to visit with your hubby. When did you say your next visiting time was? Didn't you say you guys were going to head to a fertility specialist? How's that going?

Joli--I know I've said this before, but your Harrison is such a cuttie! As far as the egg whites go...I was a little afraid about Salmonella (and I'm still a little concerned, simply because I'm a germaphobe), but after looking into it, chances are good that I won't get an infection. For one thing, it is very rare for an egg to harbor Salmonella, and in the rare event that it does, it is usually contained to the shell. I figure that since many athletes chug a whole egg or more a day (as did my bother for many years), and tons of folks eat Caesar Salad and meringue pies without a problem, I'll probably be fine. I've thought about the Pre-seed, but was hoping with Robitussin and increasing my water intake that I'd be okay this cycle, in the CM department. By the time I figured out that I was not generating the fertile stuff, it was too late to order that stuff online to get it here on time. So...I took the plunge! LOL. This was a big deal for me. For anyone who knows me...they'd be really shocked to learn I did such a thing. But I'm not telling anyone I know!!

OOPS. I accidentally sent the message, but I wasn't done yet!

Sweetmama--Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. I hope this new guy you're seeing turns out to be THE one. But you're right, there are plenty of fish in the sea. It's better to take your time finding the RIGHT one, than to settle down with the wrong one. Best wishes to you!

How are the rest of you ladies?

hehee, Taebo - only us gals who have been through ttc know about the emotions and hopes which take us to egg whites - I honestly was there and was considering it myself before the pre-seed. I just don't trust eggs here in Hong Kong, you never know if they might have come from China. We try never to buy anything from China, they put all kinds of crap in their food!

Never - you sure have it rough hon... I have such respect for you and the commitment that you've given

Sweetmama - sorry that things didn't work out, but Mr. Right IS waiting there for you

Chia - how are you doing hon? How did the check-up at the doctors go?

I'm not sure if you gals check out the grad thread, but in case you don't, here are some of the latest pics of Harrison! x

He's adorable! I love that fuzzy head! It's going to be so much fun watching him grow up (in pictures)!

 

[Britt11]

Hi Ladies, how are you?

Chia- how are you doing, are you traveling a bit less? are you charting this cycle?

Sweetmama- sorry to hear of the lousy guys you have met but the right one will be along soon when are you moving?

Taebo- how are you doing? where are you at in your cycle hon?

 

[TaeBoMama]

Nevertogether--How did your appointment go today?

How is everyone? Getting ready for Christmas?

As for me, I don't think this is my BFP month. I got a BFN yesterday (at 10 dpo). After that I got online and ordered OPK's, pregnancy tests, and whatever those tests are that test your eggs, and I got some Pre-seed. But if I use up all the Pre-seed before conceiving, I don't think I'll buy it again. But hopefully my BFP is just around the corner.

I'd love to hear updates from you all!

 

[nevertogether]

taebo - i have my fingers crossed for you until AF shows. thank you for remembering my appointment

wow, busy week. DH has been here and it's been amazing. he made a delicious dinner last night and some cookies. it was great. he fell asleep snoozing on the couch at about 9:30pm. so tuckered out! i had my fertility appointment today and it went well. he did a transvaginal ultrasound that showed up clear and good, just showing that i ovulated on the right side recently. not sure when though, so i'm wondering if we have a chance! other than that though, he said it looked perfect. he took some blood and we're going to see how all of that comes back. he might want me on friday for more. if that all checks out then he wants an HSG to follow. my next appointment is 17 january, but i can call and get my bloodwork results today. i'm really anxious! not sure if i even have a shot this month or not, eek. hope we do!

 

[GossipGirly]

T - try conceive plus its much better than preseed and less messy and is full of stuff that helps spermys survive

Sounds like a wonderful time with your husband. Congrats on catching a guy who is willing to cook! It sounds like your appointment went well. I'm looking forward to those results. I hope you have a shot this month! Please do keep us up to date.

Well darn, I already ordered Pre-seed.

 

[GossipGirly]

oh well, preseed it good too, just can get very messy try not using as much as it says if u find it too much and also the pressed im sure says u have to put in 30 mins b4 I could be wrong x

 

[Joli]

Taebo - sorry that you got a bfn I know how horrible that feeling is... I really do hope your BFP is just around the corner for you hon! On the preseed, I agree with GG - use less than they recommend on the packaging, otherwise you and DH will be slipping and sliding all over the place! But, I did find that using a little bit of it helped us when my CM dried up from the clomid - I guess it's a lot like using KY, but sperm-safe (and much thinner than KY). I hope I'm not getting too personal here, but as a suggestion, don't tell DH you're using it, and then he'll think you're super turned on, which turns him on more, and the psychological effect of that is more spunk and spermies when he shoots and scores!

Nevertogether - it sounds like you're having an awesome time with DH. I'm so happy for you that everything turned out well at the docs, what a relief! It's only a matter of time now before you and DH get that BFP - if only you could have more time together!!

Harrison and I are doing well - he's growing up like crazy and I've hurt my wrist from holding him so much! He's started to smile the last 2 weeks, and the delight of my day is waking up and looking at him, and he gets this big grin on his face. I'm over half way through my maternity leave now, which just depresses me, I feel like I'm going to miss so much of Harrison, as I can see now how much he changes every day. He never wants to sleep during the day and gets overstimulated and overtired - but he's an angel at night, still waking up, but only once, so I can't complain!

Joli--you had me cracking up! I'll use less than recommended. I already told hubby about the Pre-Seed that's on its way. That is so neat that Harrison is smiling! I totally get how amazing that is. Next will come the first laugh. I remember when my oldest giggled for the 1st time. Back then I didn't have a video camera, so I did an audio recording of him laughing at me. Same thing with the first time he said "Mama". I remember that day very clearly. He was in his crib and he just started calling for me. I went and put the recorder in his room and left, just so he would call for me again. And he did. Then I called my whole family to tell them! LOL. How sad that your maternity leave is ending soon. Is there any way they'd let you work from home for a bit, like they did when you were pregnant?

 

[Sweetmama26]

Hey Ladies. I hope you all are well. The new guy I'm seeing has been wonderful he's amazing. I don't have time to explain but I'll come back later and explain.

 

[Britt11]

Hey ladies, hope you are well.
I know everyone is so busy for the Christmas season- I am completely swamepd at work....agghh, I hope I get everything organized soon.
Taebo- sounds like you are armed and ready to get a bfp, I am sure it will happen soon...I have a good feeling

Sweetmama- glad the new guy is great, look forward to hearing more

Never- you must love being able to spend some time finally with your hunny. So happy for you, and sounds like you have a great plan for the new year

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow, a bit nervous but also very excited. Cant wait to see our baby. I hope everything is okay

 

[TaeBoMama]

Britt--I can't wait to see a pic!!! You WILL get a pic, won't you?? If you do, please post it ASAP.

I hope everyone is doing well. Have you ladies finished all your Christmas shopping? I better get in bed. It's almost 3am and my body wakes up early no matter what time I go to bed.

 

[Joli]

Hey Ladies!

Taebo - glad to have made you laugh - I think a sense of humour is needed when ttc! Last night, DH and I tried to BD for the first time since Harrison...and it was just impossible cause I was dry dry dry - saw the doc today for my first check-up, and he brought up that I would be dry cause bf makes my hormones very low, and said to use some lubricant....so will be ordering some preseed! My work won't let me work from home, but where I normally work until 10pm or midnight, I will try to leave work at 6:30pm and then work from home for the evening. It will be an adjustment, but Harrison is the most important thing in the world to me right now!

Britt - Can't wait to hear about the SCAN!!!!!!

Sweetmama - looking forward to hearing about your new man!

[Britt11]

Hi Ladies,
Posting the requested u/s pics, hope no one minds
I will write more tomorrow but wanted to let you know we had an awesome day! Baby is perfect and actually measuring 13w1d (so big growing baby I got my risk assessment and I am completely negative for downs or chromosomal problems I think its like 1/5500 which is the highest that scale can be, so DH and I are thrilled.
The cute little monkey was wiggling around and even put its hand on his head a few times- too cute. I love him/her so much already it hurts.

I have attached a few pics for you

 

[TaeBoMama]

Hey ladies!

Joli--What a relief it must be to have an employer that is flexible.

2016--I'm going to hold off on reading your birth story for when I have more time, because I want to read the novel version.

Britt--Those pics are a welcomed sight! Simply amazing. A peek into a new life growing. I love it.

Sweetmama--Where's the details?

GG--I love your picture collage. It's cool to know what you look like.

Nevertogether--How's things going? I just saw your new profile pic--Your hubby has a red Mohawk?? LOL. What's that all about? How are things going for you?

Chia--Where are you? How are you doing?

Today I've been dealing with a whopper of a headache (and fatigue) and it's gotten progressively worse throughout the evening. Tomorrow my friend and her daughters are coming for cookie decorating and our gift exchange.I really need to mop floors and make a million pounds of cookie dough but I feel awful. My hubby had to make dinner tonight. All I did was lay on the couch feeling miserable and guilty for making him cook. I think this is just my hormones playing havoc. I'm going to go force myself to do something productive. Take care, ladies!
