Hi Galvan! I hope you have a true success this time around. Your BD schedule sounds good!

Not much going on here...just reading my school papers and going to work every day. I have a few dinners/activities planned for the upcoming weeks, but seriously, nothing exciting. Stims start on the 19th, BCP ends on the 15. I'm looking forward to that day. I actually started working immediately when I got here this morning and forgot to take my blood pressure meds and BCP. I started getting a few cramps around 10, and then I remembered. Oops. It's a sign that I need to not start working immediately. hee hee. Who does that, anyway? HA!!HA!!

Galvan – you go girl………lots of for you

Rain – that is kinda strange, your sister not even telling you the name???? Have you seen or heard anything yet???

Nikki – where are you???? You are quiet

Kfs1 – yes, I had evening sickness with my son too, more so than in the morning. Hoping it goes away.........soon

Peachy – good morning twinnie!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes hubby is coming with me. Only a week to go and stims start…..not sure what that entirely means but I’m going to say YAY anyways cause I figure it must be good.

Hi Book, someday, fizzle, moni, Book and anyone else I missed

Afm – 7 hours until scan……………..eeeeekkkkk………..nervous, excited, nervous, excited, excited, excited, nervous...

 

[terripeachy]

Good morning! You mean I'm not going to know your results until I wake up?? Grrr...you really should get an early morning appointment so WE can see the results before we sleep. hee hee. J/K. I'm excited for you.

Stimming is where you start taking shots or patches or pills to boost your follies, prevent ovulations, etc..I guess it's short for stimulating, so we all know what that means. It was more exciting last time. *groan* hee hee. Now it just seems routine.

Galvan - good luck bedding. I hope you catch the egg this month.

Taurus - good luck with the scan today. I can only imagine how excited you must be. Baby will finally look like a baby. My DS looked like an alien at the 13 week scan.

Terri - Working as soon as you got in? I usually just waste a lot of time pretending to look like I am setting up my desk for a hard days work when infact I am just wasting time You need to relax.

Book - its great that you got to see the baby kicking around. Ultrasounds were my favourite times during pregnancy even though I didn't like holding my urine in for hours. At my 13 week scan, the tech said your bladder is too full. She goes, why don't you just go and empty one cup of urine. I said to hubby, " How do I stop once I start?"

Moni and Kbrain - great numbers!! It all seems real now.

AFM - I am super tired the last few weeks. I have hypothyroidism ( diagnosed after my second loss) and my endo put me on thyroxine. At my last appointment with my haematologist, he said that my T4 is too high ( over the range) and T3 which is the active form of thyroid hormone is too low so it seems like my body is not converting properly. I have been trying to get touch with my endo but she is on extended vacation for 3 months - just my luck!! I have to somehow manage until my hormones are balanced out.

 

[Nikki1979]

Rainyshiny - congrats on becoming an aunt. Have you seen the babys pic yet?

I hope you get your child though adoption soon. My younger brother is adopted - my parents adopted him when he was 3 weeks old. He is such a blessing in our lives.

 

[Taurus8484]

I know Peachy.........will have to make next appointment first thing in the morning, it kills me waiting all day too......so stimming is where they try to get as many follicles as possible to get nice and big so they can retrieve them...........nice......hey, it only takes 1 remember.....look at Moni.....positive

Thanks Nikki.......wonder where you had been. So I guess your thryoid problems are another reason why you are having trouble conceiving also????

 

[Nikki1979]

Yeah hypo makes it harder to conceive but once your hormones are in balance fertility is restored. Some doctors says that TSH has to be below 2 to be able to conceive and coincidentally the 2 times I have managed to conceived was the only time my TSH was below 2. Other times it has been close to 3 but my GP kept telling me its normal. Its only when I reviewed my records and did my research that I found out that normal is up to 5 but for TTC normal is up to 2.

 

[Taurus8484]

Well scan went well. Bubba measuring 3 days ahead, heartbeat of 161. Yay!!!!!!!!

 

[kfs1]

Great news Taurus!!!

 

[moni77]

nice!!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Terri- yay for almost stimming time. And you need to ease into the workday, like Nikki said

Taurus- I am so excited and pleased your scan went well too! and look at us with matching heartbeats for our bubbas!

Nikki- I laughed out loud about your pee story. I wouldn't know how to hold any back lol but it seems like it fills up right away for me, like those automatic dog water dishes. That is a bummer about your endo being on extended leave. Is there at least someone filling in?

Rain- did you get any info yet about your niece? I can understand not wanting to see anyone yet but the no photo or name is weird.

Hi to everyone else!

AFM - not much. One of my besties is in full on baby shower mode. I'm not exactly one for being made to feel special so I am overwhelmed and touched. She lives in Seattle so I haven't been able to see her in years because of her leukemia and finances and stuff. Little goober is being very active I think - lots of not quite cramping but more of a pushing sensation near where s/he is and stitches in my side. We did our announcement the other day so the world (or at least facebook) knows our secret.

 

[terripeachy]

Woohoo Taurus!!! Glad to hear it.

 

[KBrain3377]

Taurus - that's awesome, happy to hear that your appointment went well! Are you starting to show yet? I'm worried that I will start to show much sooner this time around, and we'll have to tell people sooner than we're ready. With my son I didn't show till about 20-21 weeks, and we waited till about 16 weeks to tell people. I know - super cautious is my middle name.

Book - your appointment sounds great too, and your DH sounds very sweet. Aren't you glad to have announced to everyone, so now everyone can be happy with you? Sometimes I think it's the hardest secret to keep, when you just want to shout it to the world.

Rain - hope you get to meet your niece soon!

 

[Doxie]

First off, let me preface by saying that I am reluctant to talk about any of this because I have always felt that if I open my mouth and blab, I jinx myself. This is why no one but ladies here, on FF and DH know we are TTC. I've just been having some weird pains today. Lower abdomen...feels like someone is streatching it. Kind of almost like a cross between bloated and a full bladder.

I'm afraid every time I go pee...do not want to see red....

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Just got a voice mail from the genetic counselor with scan results. My Down risk has actually decreased despite my age as a result of the scan and bloods. Despite this, I am still put in high risk at 1% (I would assume because of my age). I need to call tomorrow to go over the results.

That all sounds great

 

[Nikki1979]

Taurus - great news. Now you can tell the world. Have you got anything planned?

Book - I guess they are always extra cautious with women over 35. I am happy that the scan revealed everything was okay.

Doxie - I am 9dpo today as well but not planning to test until next week. I still feel that I wasn't lucky this month as I was too tired to bed after I got my positive OPK.

 

[Spudtastic]

Hi everyone.
Good luck to everyone for wherever you find yourselves in the ttc cycle...for stimming, baby dancing and scanning too.

Fingers crossed for bfps this month. I hope it's s lucky month.

Rain - I have to admit I really want to know about the baby. I'm not sure I could contain myself.

Afm (I'm assuming it means as for me) - I'm on cd 11. I'm guessing ten more days until o. I'm armed with opks. Just done one and it's negative.
I'm on day 10 of healthy eating with no alcohol or caffeine. Fingers crossed.

 

[Nikki1979]

Ladies, I am seeing my GP tomorrow and want to request some tests. I had some tests done but later on found out that it should be done on day 3 whereas I had done it on 7dpo. If its not good then I will just go straight into IVF beginning of 2015.
So the tests I should request are LH, FSH and AMH? Anything else?

 

[Taurus8484]

Thanks ladies xx

Book - matching due dates, matching heartbeats.....probably same sex too

Kbrain - things are starting to get uncomfortable. Especially pants. Got all my old maternity clothes out today.

Nikki - have told family and friends. No Facebook yet. May wait until 20 weeks for that. I think FSH and LH are the main ones and estradiol as well.

Doxie - sounds promising
