BFP! (begging to be fat and pregnant)

[NGRidley]

Hi again to everyone, and hi to everybody I have not met yet. So still waiting to go to the doctors on Monday, I am getting kind of nervous now. So I have a question and please don't think of me as naive or anything, but now that we are getting more serious about TTC, I have started temping. My question is does your temp go up or down when you O and what if it is all over the place how do you know then?

Your temp will go up when you O and will stay up if you are pregnant, and will usually drop right before or right when AF arrives.
The temp rise isnt always a large jump either and it is different for different people.
Fertility friend will usually not tell you that you O until about 4 days after it happens.

I have PCOS....

now I have to figure out where to go from here

 

[BWilliams]

Im sorry NGRidley *Praying for you*

 

[BWilliams]

Man im only on days 12 ugh i still have forever to go...waiting stinks

 

[amberdawn723]

Sorry NG! Sending more hugs!

I know Brooke, I'm on 9 and waiting forever to O....but I've been in good spirits the last few days. We've been having lots of thunderstorms and tornadoes and it's expected to stay the same for the next week and a half. For some odd reason, I'm usually in a good mood when it's stormy and rainy. Not sure why though? Usually people are the other way around and all depressed when it's like this.

Mrskcbrown- Can't tell by looking at your chart. But if you look past the crazy menstruation temps (those are always wacko) and the open-dots temps then I can see a progression towards higher temps. Maybe a slow rise? Just keep on bd'ing til FF gives you crosshairs. FX'd for dear!

NGRidley - I am sorry, but it is as least good that you know what it wrong now. There are a lot of women who have pcos and conceive. just hang in there and everything will work out

Brooke - You are 2/3 of the way done with your wait! Hang in there, things will get more exciting very soon.

Holy crap! this has been the longest first 5 days of my 2ww EVER! I have been very busy so it should not feel like this, but it does

 

[mrskcbrown]

NGRidley: I have PCOS as well. I take metformin + clomid most months and I ovulate every month using those medications. Prior to being diagnosed with PCOS, I would rarely have a cycle. My DH also has some small male factor issues but I know we will conceive. Im not giving up my hope. The DRs will point you to IUI always as they feel it is quicker but I think we are going to do it naturally for as long as possible. So there is hope! Dont give up!

Right now I am being offered metformin, but not sure how much that is going to work for me alone.
I usually see a Nurse Practitioner (who cant prescribe clomid) and she is unsure if my doctor feels comfortable doing so. If he is not then they have to refer me to a specialist which could take over a year because I am 26 and still have time (and of course you can still get pregnant with PCOS). She suggested that my DH go and get a SA, that way if there is something wrong on his end things can be sped up.....if not then we know its all me

Hello ladies.

NGRidley - I'm sorry about your news. But I think it's good to know where you can go from here. Please don't give up! We know you'll have a LO soon.

Ok...so I caved in and tested this morning = BFN. I don't feel like God thinks it's my time, yet. Maybe he's trying to take care of Hayley first.

My good news is: CPS is coming on Wednesday to see our apartment!!! Hopefully they'll love it, and we pass with flying colors. On the positive side, we do live on a college campus, so I know our apartment is up to standard. The fire marshall comes every other year, at least!

I'm trying to keep an open mind about our situation, and I truly believe that Hayley is our priority right now. Please keep us in your thoughts and pray that we get her.

Have a great weekend ladies.

 

[Juniper]

Jrc - hopefully you will get your period soon and your body will get back to normal... Don't stress about the home inspection. we spent 3 days cleaning and reorganizing everything on our house, and they acted like they didn't give a crap. What they are looking for are liviblity and safety issues. Will Haylee have a place to sleep? is there a working toilet? electric and water? Things like that. If you have passed with the fire marshal, then you will have nothing to worry about You have a great weekend too!

 

[jrc10]

Thanks Juniper!

I'm very excited about her room actually. She even has her own t.v.! And the rug I chose (to buy when she comes) is soooooooooo cute! Should I get the outlet plugs and cabinet door closer things now? Or, should I wait until we get the go ahead?

 

[Juniper]

It is up to you I think.. I am so excited for you!

 

[amberdawn723]

JRC- How exciting! It probably wouldn't hurt to get some safety things for around the house before the inspection just to show that you really are thinking about Hayley's best interests. FX'd that she is placed with you! How long will it be before you find out for sure?

 

[jrc10]

I think they'll probably give us some sort of information on Wednesday, but court is still June 7th. That's the day we find out something for sure.

I think you're right. We should childproof the apartment before they come.

I don't think I've uploaded any pictures of Hayley, yet, but here's one:

We were getting my hair done, so she decided she needed some curlers. haha. Not that she needs any. Her hair is naturally curly. Shortly after this, she had a hairpiece in her hair! It was so funny. All the old ladies were laughing.

Thanks everyone for the love. It really helps.

 

[Kat_F]

So cute JRC xo good luck and I'm thinking of you

 

[amberdawn723]

Oh JRC! She's precious! Love that silly grin!

 

[Juniper]

hello ladies - how is everyone today?

Jrc - She is very cute! I love her blond ringlets!

Tomorrow I will be in the 1ww. I have been having a really hard time this lp. I don't know what is wrong with me. I have been very emotional. I have cried 3 times in the past week. The thing is, there are not any great reasons for it. I cried about having to give up my baby room. I cried when I found out that an extended family member is having a baby girl and she is doesn't want a girl. Could this be early pms?

 

[Jolene]

Jrc, she is adorable.

Jenn, stop being negative. Both pms and pregnancy can cause you to be an emotional wreck so it looks like you'll just have to wait it out and see,lol. Be patient, try not to think about it, hahahahahahaha..... don't you hate it when people say that, as if?

Today I casualed at the jewellery store I used to work for and I felt so sick I had to put my head down on the counter, lol. The world start spinning, I felt like I was going to throw up, my forehead was all sweaty and my hands started to shake. I had to tell the manager I was pregnant coz she got so worried. Thankfully the store was empty.

 

[amberdawn723]

Welcome to the world of pregnancy Jolene!
If there is one thing I don't miss about my last pregnancy it's the nausea/vomiting. FX'd that it doesn't get too out of control (as it did in my case, I had hyperemesis gravidarum).
