Cheers to BFPs in 2-0-1-6!

[Angel5000]

Maybe it was! DH swears he doesn't care what we have but he's pretty sure it's going to be a boy. I'm hoping baby will be cooperative on Thursday so we can see!

 

[abennion]

We start stimming tomorrow! Clinic called, and it doesn't matter if I get AF or not, my lining is thin enough to start!

Let the pin cushion-ness commence!

 

[broodymrs]

That's great abe. Good luck!

 

[Jezika]

Whoa, good luck Abe! It's all happening!

Angel, so excited for you for Thur. It's always interesting to compare instincts to reality. I definitely felt girl for me.

Sheece, don't want to jinx it, but but sooo sounds like it was IB! FX for realz.

 

[Sheece]

Wow abe thats great news!!

Jezika - I hope so! Everythings gotten confusing since then though. I decided to take my temp to see if it was up (i havent been temping this cycle) 2 days after the spotting and it was low, right on coverline. the next day it went up a smidge, but still basically at coverline. Today it went up a bit too but FF took the crosshairs away so who knows!

Got a shadow line on test yesterday, couldn't get it on camera though, but this morning i could so it was a bit stronger on todays test. But again how many tests like that have I had (and it was a frer) so not holding my breath. AF is due tomorrow so we will go from there. CD 40 today so I'm well over it.

Abe good luck and i would google the google out for how to handle a colicky baby just to make sure you have a happy baby. they can be a handful if you havent delt with that before.

Sheece sending you baby dust and i do hope you had IB. fx tx

Angel, its so weird that you both dreamt boy. but i cant guess. maybe tell me shape of your tummy? do you have an innie or outie belly button? have you gotten uglier? (that is a thing, my cousin got darn ugly both pregnancies and both were girls)
your moods?

Jez happy third trimester. you only going to get bigger now. hope you have a gorgeous baby girl.

 

[Angel5000]

So my appetite mostly came back during the last week or so and in the last 10 days (since I weighed myself last) I've gained 7 lbs. I know that can't all be baby and it's a little terrifying really. I also haven't been to the gym in about that long, so I am starting back up today. I can't really gain a million pounds this pregnancy I have such ah ard time losing weight to begin with and at 5'2" every pound is obvious on me.


Whimsical - LoL I still have an innie at this point, could change of course. I don't think I've gotten uglier... lol. Moods are pretty stable but getting a little more emotional lately.

 

[Whimsical88]

angel, then my guess for you is boy. it great that you get your appetite back. i totally get the weight thing. im short and fat and losing weight is too hard for me. you may have some water retention thats adding to the weight so dont stress about that much. and dont over do your tiny self at the gym, im sure you will lose the weight post birth.

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks. I'm not over doing it, I'm doing a little elss than I did before I got pregnant. Usually 20-30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical and then I do 2-4 weight machines either lower body or upper body or sometimes (like yesterday) I do a little of both. I just dropped the intensity on the elliptical and use slightly less weight than before.

 

[Sheece]

well who knows what my body is doing this cycle. I restarted temping about a week ago when I got the spotting and temp dropped today, and has been too low for the LP I'm sure.

I'm either gearing up for AF, or I'm going to ovulate soon. CD 42 today, I'm booking in to see my dr

 

[abennion]

Oh jeez. I'm sorry Sheece... Maybe some bloodwork, have them do a pregnancy test and check your progesterone, they should be able to tell one way or another what's going on.

 

[Angel5000]

Tomorrow's my big day, anatomy scan! I'm a little nervous, just hoping everything comes out well and things look healthy, and so excited to find out what we're having! Hoping baby cooperates, I don't want to be Team Yellow!


Sheece - so sorry that your body is so confusing.

 

[Sheece]

Thanks girls. I'm booked in to the DR on Monday, so at least I feel better being proactive about it heh.

Going to start Vitex next cycle for sure. I've done my research and my cycle is definitely more irregular than not, so it shouldnt effect things adversley.

Angel - that's so exciting!! I have my fingers crossed that bubs cooperates for you

Abe - good advice, thanks, I will do How is the stimming going?

 

[abennion]

Sheece - I just know from my really long cycle They ran both of those tests to see where I was cycle wise.

Stimming is going. I'm managing to give injections to myself, which all in itself is amazing because I'm terrified of needles. Day 3 of stims so far, and I can definitely feel some action in my ovaries (maybe a little too much action?) The injections are also making me way too gassy, and I've been getting hot/cold flashes. Not really liking the side effects, but if this works it will be worth it.

Hoping I don't get OHSS. I've read stories on other sites from other women who have gotten it post ER, and it doesn't sound like a good time at all. Not to mention, if I do get OHSS they'll freeze all of the embies and then I'll have to do a FET once I've recovered, about 2 months down the road. I've got my initial us and bw Saturday morning, so hopefully they'll see a good number/size of follies. I'm hoping for only 7 days of stims, trigger on day 7 and then ER on day 9. That would be nice

The less I have to poke myself the better!

 

[broodymrs]

Good luck Angel! Sure all will be fine. Are you hoping for a pink or blue?

Sheece, sorry your cycle has gone screwy Hun. Hope the dr can help

 

[Angel5000]

I really want a girl, but I've got a very strong feeling we'll be on team blue. DH swears he doesn't care as long as the baby is healthy. Everyone always says that, and I usually think it's a cover up, but I think he really means it. He doesn't care either way. Wish I was that calm about it.

Originally, weeks ago, I was sure I would burst into tears if it was a boy. But now that I've convinced myself I'm sure it is a boy I'm imagining it being a boy, and dreaming about it being a boy, and I'm happy with either. I'll be very surprised if it does turn out to be a girl though.

 

[Jezika]

Wow, Angel, now I doubly can't wait! I, too, convinced myself it would be a boy so I wouldn't get my hopes up for a girl. I'm still scared the tech was wrong though! Of course, we will love whatever we give birth to.

 

[abennion]

Well Angel? Any news on whether you're team blue or pink yet?? I'm so excited to find out!

 

[Angel5000]

So the verdict is ...

We are TEAM PINK!!!

I can't believe it. But I'm so happy

 

[abennion]

Woohoo! Congratulations Angel!!!
