Ok so I'm on day 15 and for some reason I have pink discharge !!?? But surely too early for implantation?? I usually ovulate on the 17 th day... Has me baffled!!!

 

[workingttc]

I think its poss to have a bit of spotting at ovulation, no? I think I've read some women have that...You could just be ovulating a bit early!

 

[lilrojo]

I agree trixie.. may be ovulating early.. i ovulated 2 days earlier this last cycle..

 

[Hispirits]

Trix r u ttc?
Gonna start getting very exciting indeed on here.

Damn I feel left out haha. Love reading of all the TTC and pregnancy things you guys are going through.

Ladyl how was telling the grandparents? Did they get the tshirt quickly?

All good here having a lovely time. Weather has been gorgeous, so hot some days, 44c the other day - we just stayed inside in the air con! Erin has lots of news, she now points to her nose or someones when you ask where your nose is. If you say where is the doggy gone or where's grandma she shrugs her shoulders with her arms up like I don't know. She's learnt to 'throw' a ball. She's cut her front 2 teeth so that's 6 now. All happening here hehe, its been so lovely for grandma and gramps to see her do new things

Hope everyone is well

How is everyone doing? I am so sorry I haven't been on in a while, but have been super busy! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Maya on November 27, and she is absolutely perfect! I was induced 15 days early due to me having high blood pressure and the doctors suspecting she was growth restricted. Her last ultrasound at 37 weeks showed she was measuring small so the doctors decided it was best to deliver her. She was 5 lbs 13 oz when she was born. I can honestly say the birth wasn't as bad as I expected it to be (probably because I had an epidural). I have been really exhausted as we had some issues with her latching on, so I have been exclusively pumping and bottle feeding (which is VERY exhausting). But overall she is a pretty easy baby, and I can't believe I'm finally a mommy.

How is everyone else doing? Congrats to Hi and LadyL on your BFP's! I can't believe some of your babies are almost a year old! They are all absolutely adorable! I promise I will be on more now that we are finally getting into a routine, and thank you all for checking up on me over the past few months and Happy New Year!!

I just realised I don't think I commented on your post! Congrats on baby Maya what a beautiful name. And well done on the pumping, I really admire anyone who pumps, I only do it here and there and find it so much work. Happy New year hun x

 

[trixie79]

Yeah I thought that but not sure, it was kinda in my pee too but only pink, v.. Weird! Never had that before!

We dtd the last 2 days which is rare for us these days!!!

His.... We NTNP!!!

Hi Everyone!
How exciting dreamer that Erin is doing all these new things! I feel this past few weeks giada has been advancing too...it's amazing! She now shows me all her toys!! It was one of the things I worried most about on that autism checklist. She now passes it for a 12 month old (barely, but she still passes) which makes me feel better as they studied 12 month olds rather than 11 month olds. She still won't point and doesn't wave often, but does enough to make me feel she is developing normally. So glad you are having a great time! My heater broke the night before last so I am jealous of your hot weather! I've got the guy coming out today so I hope he can fix it!

Trixie could the pink be from dtd? I get pink discharge at ovulation time, but I'm not sure what it is from. I read it could be from the egg popping through, or from the change in hormones. Are you temping? Now I bleed from ovulation to day one of my period (and of course I bleed on my period too) I have a cervical ectropian which probably caused the bleeding in pregnancy, and now it causes me to bleed before my period. It's really hard to judge when my period begins. I am trying to temp a bit this month and using ovulation sticks just to get an idea of when I am ovulation. It will be exciting when you test!!

How did the party go ladyl?? Was everyone excited???

What day do you test lilrojo? I think tomorrow right?? Fingers crossed for you!!!

Eli is adorable working!! Can't believe how fast they grow!

So giada's party went pretty well. Unfortunately it was supposed to be outdoors but it rained. It has rained like once in the past two months and of course it has to be the day of her party. Anyway, it worked out ok. THe only thing I am super bummed about is we gave the video camera to dh brother to video singing happy bday etc, and he must not have pressed the record button (( So we have no video and neither of us have pictures of it as we were with her bringing the cake. I know everyone else took pictures so hopefully I can get some of those. I'll post a pic of just the cake now and I'll try to post a pic of her with it when I get one. I made the big ducky cake for her, and then made cupcakes with duckies on top for all of us. And don't feel bad about the price trixie. I thought it would be cheaper to make my own and I ended up spending a fortune. I ordered the pan and they didn't tell me when I ordered that it was out of stock, so two days before i found out and had to get one off ebay and overnight it. then I couldn't find my icing dyes as most of my cake decorating stuff is packed in boxes, so I had to buy all new dyes for the frosting. Oh well, i'll be more prepared for next time. Her actual bday is tomorrow. I seriously can't believe it!!! One year ago today i was getting reflexology trying to get labor going so I wouldn't have to be induced. I lost my mucos plug that night and was having mild contractions when I got to the hospital (I thought it was just gas) so maybe it worked! Although they still induced. Can't believe a year has passed already.

Anyone's baby saying meaningful words yet? I am patiently waiting but nothing yet!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

oops forgot the pic of the cake! Happy birthday giada is written on the blue under the duck and we had the duck on it's own cardboard so we could easily bring it over to her and keep the cupcakes separate. It worked well except no video!!

 

[LadyL]

Hey everyone!!

Well, the announcement went over really well. We ended up just telling DHs parents that Jack was going to be a big brother because that's how he wanted to do it. But they were excited. I think they were just really shocked.

At my parents, we took Jack in just regular clothes because I wanted everyone to be in the same room. (My mom, dad, gran, and brother were all there). So I just told them that I had a new outfit I wanted to put on him and let him "model" it for them. So we walked out with him wearing it. I think they were confused at first, but soon figured it out. My mom was especially excited. She just kept saying, I can't believe it!! I thought it would be at least 3 more years before you had another one!" So, yeah, it all went over really well.

I had my first Dr. appt today. Nothing really exciting, just blood draws and urine samples. My dr did say he'd do a sono just for fun if I wanted, but I declined. I know it'd be too early to hear a HB and I didn't want to get my hopes up for nothing. Plus, I told him, I'd hold off if he'd let me come back in 2 weeks instead of 4 for a sonogram....So I go back January 23rd!! Just TWO weeks!! Eeek! I can't wait!! I think everything will start feeling real to me once I have the scan. Oh, and official due date is Sept 5th, but he said since I'll be having a scheduled c/s, that we will do that at 39 weeks, so this babe will have a late-August birthday.

Trixie, I'm not sure about the spotting, but I'm sure that it probably is just ov bleeding. Good luck with catching the egg!!

Hispirits, I just noticed your bumpage in your avatar!! Cute!!

Dreamer, so glad you are having a great time in Australia. I am definitely jealous of your warm weather. How sweet Erin is doing so many new things. I guess she just wants to show out for her grandparents!! How much longer are y'all visiting for?

Stranje, I LOVE Giada's cake!! So cute! You are very talented. I am having Jack's cake made by a friend who does cakes really well, because I am craft-challenged! Ha!! And Happy (almost) birthday to her!! Time flies so fast! And so glad she's started doing more things for you. I knew she would. But I know it feels good to have your mind put to ease.

Lilrojo, have you tested yet? Good luck!!!

Jack has almost officially started walking. He takes about 10-15 steps at a time going from one couch to the one on the other side of the room. So, I think he'll be walking for good by his first birthday. I have always heard the saying "Once a kid starts walking, it means they are getting out of the way for the next one." Can't believe in my case, it's actually true!! Haha!!

Hope you all have a great week.

 

[workingttc]

Stranj that cake is too cute!! I can't wait to pick out a cake for Eli's birthday...He hasn't realy had any sugar yet so he's probably going to go into shock! We may have to do some practice runs beforehand

Lady, that's great news about the doctor, and how great you can get in for a scan in just 2 weeks! I remember feeling so relieved after that first early scan and heartbeat. Also really nice that your family was so happy and supportive.

Dreamer, so fun about all of Erin's new tricks! Eli has just started being so much more interactive - i swear it is like a switch went off at 9 months! Now he bops to music and tries to "sing" when we sing to him. It basically comes out as a tone deaf "ahhhhh" but it's adorable nonetheless. Tho I think a singing career is out...

Lilrojo, can't wait for your results tomorrow! I have a good feeling! Are you sure you don't want to test tonight? In seriousness I had stronger bfps at night and in the afternoon in the early days than with FMU!

AFM, I'm just trying to read my OPKs (doing that and CBFM but no peak there and what I think is a positive on the OPKs). Definitely going back to the smiley face opks next month, since I can't read the lined ones at all! So hard to tell if the line is actually as dark/darker than the control!

 

[lilrojo]

Thanks working.. I always seem to do better at night too.. but fmu is supposed to have th most since it was early.. we will see.. lp of11 days so af is due for sure on thursday.. at the latest..

Lady i did test.. looks really really faint so retesting tomorrow.. we will see

 

[_dreamer_]

Stranj, I'm so glad giada is doing some of the things to put your mind at ease. Erin won't pass me anything still. But she has started pointing. No words here yet. I can't wait to look at your cake on the pc as can't see pics well on here. Great the party went well and happy birthday to giada!

Lady, that's so great that your news went down well. And so exciting that you will get your first scan in just 2 weeks! Eek. We're here until Jan 26th so another 2.5 weeks.

Trix, great on dtd around your ov time (hopefully...sounds like it to me).

And lilrojo, can't wait to hear your testing results. Do you mean you've seen a faint positive already??? Of so how exciting.

We're off to the zoo tomorrow with 'gramps' really looking forward to taking Erin, she just loves animals. And my parents are throwing her a little first birthday party on Sunday, mainly so some of their friends can come meet Erin and see me and my sister. Cute. Will have to pop a few pics on when I gey on the pc

i'm glad your enjoying the weather over there, i've been watching the bush fires on the news, it looks terrible glad your untouched where you are.
we've supoosedly got snow on the way this weekend, so very jealous your in the sunshine!

strang glad giadas coming along, my little sister was a bit slow coming along, she always had to do things in her own time, she was a bit special needs in primary school but as soon as she reached secondary school she flourished and was top in all her classes, and now she's just finishing her last year at university. but she still take her time with everything, we always want to put a rocket up her butt, but its a part of who she is and we love her.

thanks it had had a growth spurt that week, but its slowed the last couple of weeks. well done for resisting he early scan!! im not sure i would have been able too so far with this baby i've had 7 scans, and have another tomorrow. i have so many scan pictures but my favorite one is the 1st one were i saw my little bean and its little heart beating for the first time, something i never thought i would get to see

afm not up to much. i have horrendous piles my bottom is bleeding and sore, the joys! lol
my little mans an acrobat, i had my 20 week scan last wednesday and the little monkey was head down back to belly (ready to come out ) not great for measureing, the sonographer tipped the couch up so my legs were in the air and he still wouldnt budge.
two days later i had the consultant, he scanned me and the baby had flipped to breech.
for a week he's been kicking the ligaments in my groin, it makes me feel a bit queazy, and was really uncomfy, but its gone now so i have a feeling the little tinkers head down again, just in time for tomorrows scan lol

hope your all keeping well lots of for you ladys in waiting
