Back from my first actual OB exam this morning. I didn't realize I would need a pap done I had my annual back in Feb so I thought I was in the clear. Silly me lol

I didn't get time to ask questions- like about this antenatal depression I've had. He kind of tried pushing anti-nausea meds without asking if I needed them and didn't ask about any symptoms or anything. Just checked my breasts, belly, and did the pap and that was it. I had to do 2 urine samples though. I felt proud I was able to do it despite the lack of fluids this morning (long car ride- didn't want to burst) lol

Hi all - I'm back from vacation and catching up with everyone.

Moni - WOW

Terri - totally this can be your month, maybe the power of positive thought can make it happen.

Book - ugh, I feel you on that docs appnt. I have my annual pap scheduled for next week, but my obgyn sometimes waits to so them until after a pregnancy, so not sure she will or not.

Hello to everyone else, and someday -great news on your surgery!

Afm, I went in for my betas today, should hear the results tomorrow. Then go back again on Friday to make sure they've doubled. Last night I started freaking out b/c I felt some cramping and some pulling. I know that's pretty normal at the beginning, but I'm crazy, so of course I had to go and test again.....so that made me feel better. I'll post it from my phone, and also Taurus - I'll post the ic's I took on vacay, there's a progressive line over the course of 5 days. It did get a bit darker every day, so that's reassuring.

Here's the one from last night:

 

[somedayisnow]

someday-Awesome that you got your surgery scheduled. Afterwards do you know if you are you out of commission for a while?

Galvan-Any updates from you and your surgery?

Thanks all for the positive thoughts. It's just another month of trying. I, of course, am rooting for kfs1 to be next in line, and then nikki and THEN me. hee hee. I think that's the order of time trying.

Crap. I just realized I forgot to ask how long I have to wait after surgery before getting inseminated. At this point all I know is that it could be up to 3 weeks before I'm back at work. Although, the doc tells me that some people are back after only a few days. I figure since I have lots of sick time do to me, I'm going to take as much as I need.

bookwrmgal, being able to pee twice on demand and not wetting yourself on a long car ride is impressive. Let's just say that I had an unfortunate accident a couple of weeks ago that involved a too full bladder and a transvaginal ultrasound.

 

[KBrain3377]

And the ics:

 

[KBrain3377]

Oh and Kfs - holy cr@p your chart looks aaaaamazing - your temps totally rebounded. Are you testing soon???? How can you wait so long? More importantly, how can you make us wait so long?
Sending all the positive vibes I can manage!

 

[terripeachy]

Kbrain-nice line porn and welcome back!! Are you done with temping? Ha ha. I'm on break until I get off of BCPs. It's nice to sleep in 1 minutes. Ha ha.

Bookwrmgal-sorry your OB appointment was pretty boring and that's terrible that your doc didn't ask you any questions or tell you anything exciting. Are you going to stick with him? In my old age I like when people treat me well and pay attention. I was ignored too much when I was younger. I like people to pretend to care, at a minimum.

Someday- well, you can get answers before your surgery I'm sure. It won't be long now.

My foster dog is a jerk. Ha ha. She cried the whole way to the shelter, and then when she smelled other dogs she was completely happy. She did get the all clear for adoption tomorrow and I'll plan to see her this weekend since I know where she will be living. No tears from me. Yay!!

 

[kfs1]

Book - is this a different doctor from who you usually see?

Kbrain - congratulations again. Tests are looking great! Thanks for my temp compliments but I did test 2 days ago and it was negative. P really messes with my temps unfortunately. Either way, beta is tomorrow.

Terri - awe. I'm glad your foster dog wasn't too upset once she got back to the shelter. Glad she got adopted! It must be hard having to give them back.

Someday - hopefully you won't be out of commission for too long after the surgery.

 

[Nikki1979]

KFS - your chart is looking amazing. I am hoping this is your month.

Kbrain - loving the progression as well the digi. Good luck with your betas.

Terri - so sorry about your foster dog but glad that she got adopted. Hope her new family gives her a lot of love.

Bookwrmgal - I had a pap when I was 6 weeks pregnant with ds. Hated it so much and almost screamed at the doctor.

AFM - I got a peak on my CBFM yesterday morning and DTD shortly after. I think I am out this month though as I was too tired to do anything last night and this morning, DS crawled in our bed at 5am because he had a bad dream.

 

[Wish4another1]

Ok I know this thread was started with MIL stories and I now have one that just perplexes me... we bought my MIL a hands free device for her cell phone for Christmas - we bought a higher dollar one because we know she can't afford that kinda stuff - ladies she gave it back!!!!!! All these months later WTF??????????

Normally she is awesome but this one blew my mind!!!!

Kbrain - love that line porn - congrats lady!!!!

Someday - good luck with your surgery and quick recovery!!!!

Book - I think that dr visit would've made me mad especially if this is your first pregnancy!!!! Geez they can take ten minutes and answer some questions!!!! Ok its my angry day and I'm gonna be angry for you!???

Kfs- I know your beta is tomorrow... ice cream for lunch???? I have heard from a reliable source its makes you feel better

Terri - I would love to go to a ball game- I went to Wrigley field while I was in Chicago and that was awesome!!!

Much love n to all u ladies!!!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Kbrain, love the lines and the digi! Congrats!


Kfs, good luck tomorrow! Fxed for good betas!

AFM, I go to the dr tomorrow. I hope she accepts alk of my tests I had done in Mexico. I want my surgery date.

 

[terripeachy]

Wish-did you go to one of the Os games or did you just tour the stadium? The Os lost all three games and the one on your race day was rained out for a bit. I went to Wrigley a few years ago. It's old. Hee hee. I'm used to fancy Canden Yards so it was a surprise that a field was not as clean as here but it has the history so I can't complain. I'm fortunate I got to go.

Nikki-you can't give up already. This may well be your month; tired or not!

Galvan/kfs1- best of luck to both of you tomorrow.

 

[Wish4another1]

Terri - when I went the giants were in town... the cubbies lost but the food n company was awesome!!!
good luck tomorrow Galvan!!!
And Nikki you are not out lady!!!!

 

[Taurus8484]

Hi all………things have been crazy at home and work………taking a breather to relax and read back.

Hi Spud, Doxie, Peachy, Wish and anyone I missed....

Kfs1 – I know the progesterone makes your chart look extra good…….but it really does look extra good….best of luck for beta tomorrow

Moni – will be stalking for more beta updates

Book – do you think your suffering from antenatal depression??

KBrain – also stalking for beta updates………..ooooohhhhh I love digis and progression pics………..

Nikki – it only takes once to get knocked up…..look at Moni, she thought she was out also

Galvan – waiting to hear your surgery date………good luck at Docs

 

[Spudtastic]

Book - wow about the drs visit from me too. I was very lucky here and had my own midwife with dd.

So is it just me or does anyone calculate the potential due date of a baby before they've even conceived? I found some due date calculators when I was bored one day.

Also I want #2 but dtd just seems like a chore I think dh and I spend too much working.

 

[kfs1]

Terri - we got married in SC back in 2009 and stopped in Baltimore for a few days on our drive home. We went to Camden Yards to see a game and we loved it! Such a nice ballpark. My husband is a diehard Yankees fan but loooooves going to other parks.

Nikki - like everyone said it only takes one!!

Galvan - I hope that doctor gets moving and you get your date soon!

Spud - I don't usually calculate the due date, only because I'm so jaded at this point. Sad, I know.

Thanks for all of the positivity ladies! You're all so supportive - you're the best!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Wish- that is such a weird thing for you mil to do. Did she say why?
Kbrain- great line porn!

Someday- I know exactly what you mean about near misses. I have had a few last night and today with sneezing! Bloody ragweed season!

Spud- I definitely didn't calculate the date but there are weird coincidences here with this one. I had a mc 3yrs ago (with an ex bf that broke my heart). The due date was for early march 2012. DH and I eloped on what I found out later was ex bf's 1 year anniversary with his wife . And... My due date is the same (a year later) as his daughter's but she was born 2mos early. If this baby is born on his DD'sfirst birthday I am going to have dome sort of cleansing or something to break off this weird connection because it is spooky!

Taurus- I definitely think I have antenatal depression. The question is , do I medicate or see if it is just a first tri hormone thing. I am researching now. Thankfully my best friend the mad scientist has done lab research on fetuses and anti-depressants .

Terri- are you getting a new foster?

Galvan, kfs- lots of luck with your appts!

Hi to everyone I missed

Thanks for the support about the OB. It definitely rubbed me the wrong way. My next appt oct 1 is with him but I need to see everyone in the whole practice. I am hopeful the other docs are more...interactive. Hubby has 2 classes tonight so I am looking forward to curling up with the dogs, my Benadryl, and my new book

 

[moni77]

Book - that would really piss me off - I am expecting lots of extra attention from the dcs!

Nikki - yep - it only took one...

Kbrain - Nice!!!

Galvan - good luck at the docs today!

My next beta is not until next Tuesday...I'll prob be freaking out until then. Thinking about taking another HPT - but I think I reached the max for the wondfos, and I don't really want to spend the money on expensive tests...

 

[kfs1]

Negative beta.

 

[KBrain3377]

Negative beta.

Sorry kfs!!! Can you go and eat something really good but bad for you?
