Bright New Month, Bright New Cycle! Everyone's Welcome! :)

[waiting2c]

Awww prep I hope it ib!!!!!

 

[prepping]

I hope so too but am nervous as it is not brown. Normally they say IB is brown due to being old blood. This was more in the CM and pinker.

I never spot to my knowledge. Except for the one time where AF came a few hours later.
So I guess I'll find out by the end of the day if she's coming early.

 

[waiting2c]

I really hope not

Is it ok for me to stick around with you guys now I got my bfp?

 

[prepping]

Are you kidding??! That's the whole reason why I moved our thread over to the ttc group area! So that we could all get our BFPs and still keep on chatting! You can't leave now that you've gotten to the exciting part! LoL

 

[waiting2c]

Cool!! I didnt want to leave so that works well for me!

Feeling very average today, dont know if its mnd over matter cos I know now, or if it is nausea from pregnancy.

Got a doctors appt this morning, so that will be exciting.

 

[Hena]

Hi everyone
I was just checking in to see how everyone is, and OMG Waiting!!! I'm over the moon for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

fx'd that it was IB, prepping!

I'm still waiting to see what my body is up to (78 days later...) dr's apt in the morning so I'll hopefully know something tomorrow. I'm a bundle of nerves about it...eek!

Hope you're all doing well, sending you all loads of baby dust!!!

 

[prepping]

waiting, yay to getting stuck with needles to confirm!

I'm feeling very strange today myself but don't know if it's my head playing games with me due to the spotting. I'm chilly one moment and boiling the next. And tired.

Trying to assume that AF is coming afterall just so that I can contain the hopes to a reasonable level.

Hena, perfect timing to check in! Sorry to hear about the even more ridiculously long cycle... I really really hope that the doctor is able to start clearing things up for you!

 

[waiting2c]

Im still gonig to hope against all hopes that you are joining me Prep!

I really really wish you an end to your misery Hena, and a definite answer either way. I cant imagine being that many days and still not knowing. I hope the doctors can find the answer for you asap!

 

[prepping]

Quick update, quite possible that it's my shortest cycle at 25 days. will have confirmation by tomorrow morning.

 

[prepping]

Gotta love the DH. He says that he has a good feeling about next month because it took 6 months for "your online friend" so 6 is the magic number.

 

[waiting2c]

Awwwww man, stink one prepping!

Love your OHs thinking! Perhaps six will be the magic number Im stoked to be your "online friend" lol.

Had my doctors appt today, she didnt fill me with confidence, she said well you are very early days, come back in a month if you are still pregnant and we will do scan paperwork. I know that miscarriage is a fact of life, and I hope to god I dont have one, but it just seemed harsh to my little excited world lol. Not dwelling on it, have one more week till my holiday and I am going to really enjoy that!

 

[Hena]

wow, what a doctor! Ah well, we're all sending you positive energy!!! You're going to have a great 9 months and a beatiful lo to hold in your arms at the end!

I have bad news from my appt., it seems, that feeling of forboding I had was well-warrented. Thank God DH was with me or I would have totally lost it. The doctor did an US and found a super thin endometreum(ca. 3mm) and over 15 follicles on each ovary, WAY too many appearantly. She went from a face of "I'll do this to humour you" to "something is seriously wrong here" which sent me into the early stages of a panic attack (averted by DH holding my hand--again, thank God he was with me).

So she gave me some meds to jump start AF, then wants me to come in 3-5 days after I see the first drop of blood, not even full flow because she said that might never happen, and start blood work for hormonal monitoring. Then I'll go in a week later and have another US and more tests and see whether I'm really ovulating, and what we can do. She's leaning toward a diagnosis of PCOS even though she checked me for cysts a year ago before we started ttc and didn't find any. The whole thing is confusing, but at least she is taking my fertility seriously and pushing forward without question even though it hasn't been a whole year yet.

So that's it from me. I'm utterly depressed, but I know that will pass. Our anniversary is on the 28th and we're planning a fun get-away and now I know I can drink and float in the thermal baths without any guilt, eh?

 

[summer2011]

to you Hena. I hope the dr can help you out. Happy anniversary... Enjoy every minute to the fullest

 

[wintergirl]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! waiting im so freakin happy for you!!! I was like........." are my eyes deceiving me?" one of us finally gets a BFP!!! lets just hope you set the momentum rolling and each of us will continue to get our BFP's!!! im really so excited for you- have a very healthy and happy 9 months - you prob already mentioned but looking back what symptoms did you have exactly? I bet your OH is super excited! have you told anyone else yet!!! dont listen to your doctor too much! i know what she is saying but the important thing you have to remember is that you conceived and even if the unthinkable did happen you at least know that you can try again. but that wont happen - you will have a beautiful baby in your arms in 9 months!

 

[wintergirl]

It sounds so sad when other people say it, and I don't mean to sound negative, but I just have this feeling that I can achieve anything I set my mind to... except babies. Too foreign of a concept to be pregnant and have a little one. The mere idea of it right now feels like it will never come to be and that my husband and i will forever be a couple of dinks (double income no kids) . Maybe it's due to age... I'm 29, he's 32... I've become pretty used to how life is and cannot imagine having something take it over where I'm not the centre of my world anymore.

Hey prepping! I know EXACTLY how you feel - you literally took the words out of my mouth - I always feel that If i put my mind to anything long enough - I will eventually acheive it. Thats just the problem tho - I EVENTUALLY acheive things - everything from passing my driving test to finding the right job - i have to go through so much work and dissapointment to get there and i start to think its never going to happen, and then it does, because i am determined, but when it comes to TTC, its something I want so bad I cant help but feel its going to be the same struggle - I would be so happy to get a BFP but I cant imagine it happening - until it does. does that sound strange? like you, it has been me and my OH living together for a long time now and I keep thinking that TTC is going to be difficult for me. The weird thing is - and im sure its the same for you - is that I have no actual logical reason to make me think that is will be harder for me. So I guess what im trying to say is that you are not alone in thinking this - maybe a lot of women feel this way when at this stage in their lives and therefore can only believe it when it happens! dont worry

Sucks to hear that you may have had a 25 day cycle - maybe you still have a bit of hormones left in you from BC - i think that is why mine are a bit irregular! I hope it is IB for you! fingers X'd!!

 

[waiting2c]

Hey winter thanks! I am super excited. I didn't really have major symptoms I guess the main one was I saw a lit of veins on the tops of my thighs and on my chest that had not been there before and I couldn't sleep at night. Since finding out ice felt a bit sick during the day on and off but that could be mind over matter.

Omg hena that us awful. I'm so very sorry to hear it and you are high in my thoughts at the moment. Remember we are here if you ever need to vent!!

 

[wintergirl]

Hena - im so sorry to hear you have been suffering through all of this - I really hope the doctor can help you and im glad to hear she is taking your fertility seriously, hopefully you will get some answers and solutions. try not to be too down - enjoy your anniversary and take it easy, were here if you wanna talk! xx

 

[prepping]

Hena, All I can say is that I'm glad you are now able to have your doctor take you seriously. Now things can actually be acted on. Try not to get yourself too worried as I'm sure whatever it may be can be managed and rectified. Enjoy your anniversary to the fullest.

winter, Two minds alike. It's the fact that there's this other power of chance that determines when the baby making will be successful that bugs me. Everything else in life I generally have control over. Like the designation program I'm taking right now -- I know it will take at least 18 months. It will be very difficult. But I will achieve it within the next 2 years because I will put my mind to it. If baby making takes 2 years... well it's not out of lack of trying I'm sure! It won't matter how 'skilled' I become at as that will not increase our chances for a shorter ttc time. LoL It's just completely out of my hands and when I try to visualize seeing those 2 little lines, I have difficulty doing it.
And I'm right there with you on the fact that there is absolutely no reason for me to think that it would be difficult for myself and my DH to actually make a baby. We're both active, good weights, don't smoke, good eating habits... and is fun as a bit of a bonus. Other than this one cycle, I'm generally just fine for 28 days. The powers that be have not decided it is our turn quite yet is all.

waiting, Don't be too concerned over your doctor's warnings. It's perfectly reasonable. Actually, now that I think of it, my doctor told me to come in when I miss my period -- which would put it at a week after at least. So I guess it kind of makes sense that your doc told you to come back later. I wouldn't be a fan of 'how' she said it either though. Just relax and enjoy the fact that you don't have to worry about all this silly ttc nonsense. Keep us posted on how you are doing at every given moment too! LoL

Okay ladies, looks like I'll be announcing a November BFP . Full blown AF has made a visit early. So the good news is that I've been thrown into the next cycle with no waiting around. Who the heck knows why it was 3 days short though. Guess my body really wanted the ability to party for Halloween. I'm generally okay... was pretty bummed as you would expect. But DH is awesome about it and just says that he's sure it will be this cycle as he has a feeling. Gotta love his optimism. So waiting, you'll just be able to pave the way for the rest of us so we're prepared for what to expect. We'll still all have our 2012 babies.

 

[summer2011]

K. So apparently the next available specialists appt is Aug of 2012!!

Guess we are on our own till then!

Sorry got you prepping. Lots of luck for next month

 

[prepping]

summer, wow, that's quite the wait for a specialist! Well, lots and lots of dust to you that you won't even have to go to that appointment as you'll already be happily knocked up.

I had a few glasses of wine last night, will go for sushi sometime this week for the heck of it, and get on with this month.

waiting, feeling anything new?
