CD2 Anyone

[jjbubbles28]

Hows the house and new kitty doing khigg? did you test again?
hows is everyone else feeling today? You girls experiencing morning sickness or any other symptoms?

 

[Khigg19]

Stuff with the house is at a stand still! We had the inspection and asked the seller to repair a few things, she was about to agree to fix all items requested and then the house was appraised at less than the listing value. So now we wait for the appraisal report and figure out what's next.. Might have to offer less, might have to switch to FHA loan, might have to walk away and find a different house! I'm a nervous wreck, my realtor and hers have no clue why the house wasn't appraised for the listing value. It will all work itself out, but until then, we wait.

Kitty is good and I'm on cd 31.. Haven't tested and have no clue what's going on. I went back and counted last cycle and it was 31 days, so I guess I'm not late yet? That chemical threw everything off.

How are you doing bubbles? About to O? Anything fun planned for the weekend?

I remember when I bought my house the elderly couple wanted wanted to close asap. so we ran around like idiots to get inspection, mortgages, and worst of all insurance since we are close to water no one wanted to insure us. I also had a rottweiler at the time and learned to lie to the insurers about her Low and behold we got everything and they weren't ready then. It will all work out.. we too had to walk away from a house prior due to a known carcinogen as insulation. Better for us bc we found the house of our dreams. So i am sure for you too it will all work out. Im sure this house stress might now be helping your cycle. Or maybe it is your BFP and you need to plan a nursery
As for me, I'm ok. Most likely O'd Wednesday. I tried my damnedest to temp consistently and got a spike on Thursday..yay...but then a drop this morning. So im not sure..we did cover 2 weeks every other day and ended with a double header tues/wed so we'll see. Im getting frustrated and considering paying for some testing out of pocket. ARGH!

 

[Khigg19]

Yeah, they found a little bit of asbestos on a duct in the basement. I put it in the inspection that I want it remediated. Luckily, the seller completely agrees with my concerns. If this house falls through, we will find another one.
I have no problem walking away and losing the ernest money, appraisal cost, and inspection cost. It would suck, but we need to make the best decision for us.

It looks like I need to figure out my cycle again.. Whether that be OPKs, temping, or taking a break, I don't know. This cycle has been the hardest on me emotionally.

 

[jjbubbles28]

I know how you feel. Life has been so hard. I have been on my own since 16. Graduated and paid for high school myself, worked my butt off to buy 2 cars and a house, grew my part time job to career and supported myself for online college and for once thought, just maybe, one thing could be easy. What was I thinking? This has proved to be frustrating, humbling, and most of all disheartening. Soon it will be our time, I am sure of it.

I'm sorry to hear things have been difficult, Khigg! I hope everything will work out with the house, and I hope you will get answers about your cycle soon, too! Tracking things after a CP are definitely more complicated. Best wishes to you!

jj, temping can sure be tricky! Despite doing it for so long and recognizing its value, I always found it a big pain, and the unexpected spikes or dips tended to throw me for a loop. Sometimes it can just happen randomly, though, or because of a change in your sleep that night, sleeping with your mouth open, having a cold, etc. The overall pattern will tell you more than any individual temp, but I definitely do agree that it is frustrating!

AFM, I have been feeling pretty lousy - quite nauseated, but no vomiting (yet) - but I'll take it all as long as it means my baby is developing properly. Can't wait for the u/s next week!

 

[jjbubbles28]

Karen, 7 weeks already! YAY! Do you guys have any gut feeling of sex?
How is everyone else feeling?

 

[Khigg19]

I've officially lost my period.. Have you seen her? Today is cd36 (longest yet, even after 8 years if bcp), finally caved and saw a big fat 'not pregnant' this am. We've been waiting a week to read to appraisal report and still haven't gotten it! Part of me doesn't care that AF has disappeared because I know I should probably wait until we have moved, but the other part of me is ready to start over.

How are you girls doing?

 

[jjbubbles28]

Khigg... you are hysterical!

 

[Karen916]

Aww, Khigg, I'm sorry about the BFN! Could you maybe have ovulated later than usual this cycle? Maybe that is throwing everything off.

jj, I have to admit I've been very reluctant about having sex since finding out I was pregnant. We DTD for the first time 8 days after the BFP, and it was not the most comfortable, and afterwards I had some pain. Then I had the spotting the next 3 days after that. I don't know that the sex caused the bleeding, but they were kind of associated in my mind and I was afraid to after that. Finally this week I decided to give it another try, but now my husband is reluctant and wants to wait until after our 8 week ultrasound. If we see a healthy heartbeat, then we'll probably try again.

That being said, a lot of women have no problems with it at all! We're just being extra cautious because of what we went through before. From what I read, it's all a matter of personal choice, and you're only recommended to abstain if you have a higher-risk condition, unexplained bleeding, etc.

 

[jjbubbles28]

Karen I meant boy or girl

 

[Karen916]

Ohhhh, hahahahaha! I guess it's been on my mind lately. Sorry!

I have an inkling that it's a girl, but who knows, right? The Chinese Gender Predictor is saying boy, but I read that if you conceived near the turn of the month it's less reliable, and I am pretty sure I conceived on July 2, so it's hard to say. I don't know how accurate that thing is anyway, but a lot of people have told me it's been correct for them. I'm skeptical, but we'll see how it turns out!

 

[Khigg19]

Hahahaha, pregnancy brain! That was hilarious to watch unfold!

 

[nomorewaiting]

Hi all! I've been around and reading but haven't had the chance to chat recently. You girls are hysterical!

Khigg you crack me up with your oh where oh where has my period gone... It is so extremely frustrating when after months and months the witch goes and screws things up and messes with your brain. I've had times where she was a week late (after always being right on time) and other times when she so very inconveniently came 4 or 5 days early! As if this whole process isn't dramatic enough! I hope things with the house get figured out. If it doesn't then it just was't your house. I do believe that things happen for a reason, though sometimes I just don't understand the reasons....

Karen, I love your response! I hear you with it being on your mind!!! Especially after everything you go through to get here and not wanting to mess anything up! Honestly I am experiencing a similar problem with light bleeding after dtd. (I mean why not share! We share so much already on here!) I did call the doctors office and was told this was normal and not to worry... ha... ha... ha . I think I am good with holding off on that until after my first appointment on the 22nd!! See now everyone knows LOL!

I've not really been very sick. I am only 5 weeks and 1 day now so I fully expect to experience more in the coming week or 2. I am working on finding a good time to take my vitamin because that is a sure fire way to bring on the nausea for me!! I am attempting to take it before bed, though I did wake up at 2am this morning. The only other thing I have going on is the bloating that is making my jeans uncomfortable!! I'll take it, though, and whatever other symptoms bean wants to toss at me

Bubbles, how are you feeling this cycle?

 

[jjbubbles28]

normorewaiting, so glad things are moving along. I am feeling blah. Had a good feeling about this cycle for some reason, but now as it is getting close I don't feel as hopeful. We shall see I guess. Do you have any gut feelings about boy or girl?

 

[Khigg19]

I think girl for Karen and boy for nomorewaiting. Just sayin!

 

[Khigg19]

Any fun plans for the weekend for anyone? I'm going to try to convince my hubby to help me sand, prime, paint, finish more furniture

We finally got the appraisal report back and the house appraised for 5k less and needs a few repairs (different than the ones we listed on the inspection) so we are hoping the seller drops the price and agrees to repairs. Should know by Monday.. We've already received our certificate of eligibility for the VA loan.

When are you due for AF bubbles? Mine is still MIA! Does that mean I haven't ovulated yet or won't ovulate?

 

[jjbubbles28]

I am working today and then taking the ferry to fire island for dinner with friends. So excited, never been there. I am due Monday. Not feeling hopeful. Regular period crampy. I hope everything works out with this house. Its so exciting, right? So weird with your AF. Have you tested again? Maybe all the stress? Have you been temping?

 

[Khigg19]

It has to be stress related! Last time I tested was day of my missed period which supposedly has a 99% accuracy. I don't want to see another negative so I'll just wait it out.

 

[jjbubbles28]

I hear you about negatives. Its a complete bummer. But how long do you wait?????
