Good Morning Ladies ………….I have been MIA the last few days…….been busy weekend with a good friend’s wedding and all…

Galvan – have you heard any more about the job?? Sorry to hear about your cyst, but you have the okay to TTC….

Spud – have you O’d yet??

Peachy – how is it all going?? When you set for retrieval??.....chart chart chart…….I love looking at temps

Kfs1 – I see you have O’d…..will be stalking cause you are not on progesterone this time to influence your temps

Someday – How did the pre-op go?? When is surgery date??

Hi Doxie and others I may have missed…..

Book – Have you heard about your job??? Don’t think you answered before, are you finding out sex or waiting until delivery??

Moni – welcome to the joys of the 1st Trimester……….where you feel like shit 24/7…….hoping the nausea isn’t too bad for you….I always found the vomiting was bearable, it’s the all-day nausea that’s is horrible

Rain – how did the visit go with the social worker???

afm - busy weekend with wedding......plus the weather here is changing and yesterday was one of those beautiful spring days....went down the park with the hubby and little fella and had a great day. Nausea is still pretty shit at night......waiting for 16 weeks, thats when it eased with Jaxon so hoping its the same with this one.

Hi Taurus!
I did start temping yesterday so keep an eye on it now. I just finished Day 3 of my shots. I have an ultrasound and bloodwork tomorrow so maybe I'll have a few follies starting to grow. I just have to remember to warm my veins up while sitting in the lobby.
Other than that, not too much going on.

Glad you got to go to the park with your son and DH and I hope the wedding was tons of fun.

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Spud- I agree with Terri about telling hubby. Unless he's like mine and his a
low sex drive. In that case I would tell him that this is the week and to be prepared to do it a lot. That way he knows he needs to perform but not necessarily when. Also, I completely understand your feelings about timing BUT you could go early, the weather might be fine, etc... 300km to the hospital- yikes! Still, I am breathing easier that I have a late March due date as the weather will be gross and iffy here but not as bad as Feb/early March.

Rainy- How did your appointment with the social worker go?

Moni- gingersnaps and peppermint tea helped me so much with the morning sickness. I hope you are feeling better. Still getting a little bit of nausea here and there but it hasn't been bad. I went through my whole first trimester without puking but I sure wish I did!

Taurus- sounds like a lovely but busy weekend! FX that your nausea eases up soon. How are you feeling other than that? And I absolutely want to find out what this creature is- I don't know about your neck of the woods but gender neutral stuff is hard to find here. I am really hoping my cell free DNA test comes back with a gender and a no-down's result because if not I have to wait until Oct 24! Are you going to find out?

Galvan- so did the Dr give you the go ahead to just proceed as normal? When do you hear about the job? Fx Fx!

AFM- not much. Busy weekend with a friend of ours having a movie night to watch Godzilla (cheesy fun) and running errands today. Wound up sleeping the afternoon away while re-watching Sherlock. Woke up to do laundry, made homemade tomato parmesan basil soup and grilled cheese for dinner. Now just relaxing. I have a chat interview tomorrow morning- my first with that mode. Haven't heard anything yet about the other job but I really hope I get it. Have to finish my application for the teaching/ school library media cert this week and I've been lazy about my personal statement.

 

[Taurus8484]

Yay Peachy........chart stalker I am........get those veins ready girl.......(god that sounds like a junkie but I mean it in a total non junkie way)

Book - I dont know yet. We found out with our son, but we are leaning towards Team Yellow on this one........might be more tempted at 20 week scan but....we obviuosly have a lot of boy clothes, and I figure even if its a girl, she can wear blue stuff around the house......cant wait to find out what your having.........

 

[kfs1]

Moni - Sorry that you're nauseous but I'm also happy (hehe) because it means that little bean's stirring up some trouble. No, but seriously, I hope you can get the nausea under control. Not a fun feeling.

Rainshiny - How'd it go this weekend?!?!?!?

Spud - Hope you got some BDing in this weekend.

Taurus - Sounds like you had a great weekend! I hope your nausea goes away soon. Thanks for being my stalker. Not holding out much hope this cycle but I guess miracles can happen, right? Either way, I will be happy to not have to worry about false high temps from the progesterone!

Terri - Another stalker for you here. I miss stalking your chart!

Bookworm - Good luck at your interview this morning. And, um, YUM - Tomato Parmesan Basil soup??? Sounds amazing.

Great weekend for me! Beer tasting on Friday, festival at my DHs school on Saturday, and apple picking yesterday. Got to see lots of friends and family. The only thing that stunk was that it was so HUMID when we went apple picking. Doesn't quite feel like fall just yet.

Temp drop this morning but I typically get a fallback rise so I'm sure that's what it is. Charting experts - why do you think FF set my coverline where it is? Isn't it typically a tenth of a degree above your O temp?

 

[moni77]

So I was a little nauseous on Fridayearly afternoon - but then it cleared up and I have been fine again. I think it might have something to do with the progesterone shot - I forgot to take it Thursday morning...don't know if there is a correlation or not.

No twins in there - I am getting weekly scans and there is definitely only 1. Next scan is tomorrow!! Hoping all is still great!

 

[Rainshiny]

Weddings, parks, apple picking, beer festivals- sounds like a fun weekend!

Glad you're feeling better Moni!

Our appointment with the social worker was fine. They ask so many questions about your relationship and how you feel about adoption that you really feel psychoanalyzed- I guess it's part of their due diligence. The funny part was DW and I scrambled to clean and reorganize and child-proof, and SW barely glances around the house! Just looking to see we had a bedroom and make sure we locked up our shotgun collection, haha (as if). Oh well, now the house looks amazing and we are nearly childproof which we'll need to do eventually anyway!!

Next appointment in two weeks, then she writes up the report.

Doxie did you find out your results?

Book/spud and others- it must be hard on hubbies to go through TTC with the timing pressure! I like your strategy to reduce the pressure.

Taurus- do you have ginger snaps in Australia?

Galvan- sweetie you've had such a roller coaster--thinking of u and hoping everything goes smoothly from here on!

 

[Spudtastic]

Hi ladies
So much to catch up on. I admit I have to write things down so I can say hi to everyone but I'm on my phone and out so hi everyone and I hope it's going well....

Thanks for the ttc tips. This month is the first time I told hubby the timing because it's the first time I've used opks. Plus he got suspicious because I'm the one with a low sex drive lol. No sex for three weeks then suddenly I want it everyday lol. Poor hubby. I just won't tell him next month and dtd a bit more often.

Prob tmi but after dd was born it hurt for 6 months to dtd. I love my husband and he's very caring but when it comes to dtd he's just sooooo selfish. It also doesn't help he works 7 days a week and I work too from home. We have our own business.

But I'm hoping we dtd enough. O'd on 20th. Hoping we've done enough bd anwyay.

 

[Taurus8484]

Kfs1 – miracles do happen………and I will always be your stalker……in a good way…..I always got a fallback rise……don’t know about your question regarding coverline..sorry

Rain – are ginger snaps a hard ginger flavoured biscuit……..if so, then yes we do but they don’t help…….I know with my son Week 14 was particularly bad and everything was gone by Week 16 so just holding out until then…

Hi Everyone else………..

Afm – had an ante natal appointment this morning. Had good news that I am low risk for DS after NT scan and bloods. Got to hear heartbeat so that was lovely also.

 

[terripeachy]

Taurus-morning sunshine!! Glad your appointment went well. Yes, you are correct about ginger snaps. Yum yum! I'm happy to be temping so stalk away.

Kfs1-I think I remember that the cover line is supposed to be one degree above your sixth temp prior to O. So if I count back, your cover line would be at 98. It's dotted so who knows? I'm so over figuring out these charts. Hee hee. I'm excited to see your naturally high post o temps.

Moni-good luck tomorrow!!

I had my scan this morning and there were ten follies; the nurse said to keep my medicine the same. It's so early so I'm not sure why they would change it, but whatever. No headache tonight so I'm happy. Maybe I'm getting used to the stronger dose. I go back on Wed and the heated gel pad for my veins worked! My blood was flowing fast.

 

[Taurus8484]

10 follies good???? How many did you have at this time last time??

 

[terripeachy]

I think last time I also had 10 in the beginning. On egg retrieval day they had 14, so maybe I'll get more to show up on the screen and then have more hiding in the background. As long as there is one, I'm happy. Oh dear...my expectations have gone down significantly. *sigh*

 

[kfs1]

Rainshiny - Glad to hear that the appointment went well. I guess it's a good thing that they focus on you MORE than your house. I'm sure they just want to make sure it's safe & clean. What's the next step after your next appt. and her report?

Book - How'd the interview go?

Spud - I'm sure you got enough BD time in. And if not, sometimes life just doesn't allow it. I've had months where I've timed things perfectly and nothing happens. And then you hear about people who BD just once and get pregnant. You timed it the best you could. That's all you can do!

Taurus - Awww. Thanks for being my loyal stalker. Glad to hear that your appt went well! You must feel relieved. Any new pics of the little bean?

Terri - Glad to hear that your headaches seem to be gone. know what you mean about trying to figure out charts!! I often look through the chart galleries on FF and NOOOONE of them are the same. It's pointless trying to analyze them. That said, I moved my coverline because it was bothering me.

Hi everyone else!

 

[Nikki1979]

Hi everyone,
I hv been MIA for the past week or so. Hubby was home and I was also kinda feeling down. I had my ultrasound today so will be getting the results soon. I got an appointment to see a reproductive endocrinologist who also specialises in uterine issues as well. Seeing her on November 20th. Hopefully all goes well.

 

[moni77]

Scan went well this morning - heart beat was 172!! Back next week for the last appointment with the RE. See reg OB in 2 weeks! Will start tapering the progesterone this week...

 

[terripeachy]

Nikki- Glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better at least to check in with us. Is your hubs back to work and out of your hair? Good for you for being proactive about finding a specialist that will help you. Too bad the appointment isn't for two months, but hopefully the time will fly by. Stay busy!

kfs1-I noticed your coverline. hee hee. You're right. All those charts are a mystery. I hope mine is NOT a mystery when my temps stay high in a few weeks. I'm still not sure of my test date. I kind of want to test on my anniversary (the 12th), but then again, I don't really want to ruin my first anniversary. I'm torn..I guess I'll just wait until then. I am going to brunch either way though. I'm so easily swayed by food.

 

[Taurus8484]

Peachy – it only takes 1…..just like Moni……..it will happen, positive thoughts

Kfs1 – no new pictures, doc just listened with Doppler

Nikki – good to see you back. You survived the man flu??? I know Nov 20th seems a way away, but things are happening and that’s a good thing

Moni – YAY……..great news

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Hi ladies!

Nikki - I'm glad you are feeling better and that you survived hubby's flu. I know Nov 20 seems ages away but it will come quicker than you think

Terri- glad the headaches are gone and Taurus is right - it only takes 1

Moni, Taurus - glad your appointments went well!

Rain - YAY for good SW appointment!

Spud- Perfect timing can result in nothing so by that logic, imperfect timing will result in something. Keeping the faith for you!

Kfs- your temps are looking good to me

AFM- I did hear back about the interview the other day wanting me in for an in-person one but I got a really bad vibe about the job and with the inflexible hours and hour plus commute with my bad car, Hubs and I decided that trying for sub teaching and a part time gig would be better. I haven't heard back about the library job and really really want that one.
I did get a vmail from the genetic counselor saying that my results were good. Of course I didn't get the message until after she left so I have to call in the morning and see if they found out gender.

 

[Bookwrmgal]

So we got our test results back and it is a little girl. Amelia Violet. I'm a little disappointed but my friends are all super excited enough for me lol

 

[Wish4another1]

bookworm - AWEEE a little girl - I love your name!!! I have two girls so I don't know any different but they are awesome!!!!!!!!!

to everyone else - still lurking and following each of you!!!
