{CLOSED GROUP} Journey to BFP and Beyond!

[NDH]

Lots of people don't even encapsulate and freeze raw pieces to blend into smoothies etc. The oxytocin in the placenta is supposed to stop PPH as well as syntocinoon/pitocin if you put a piece into your cheek right away when you start bleeding. I haven't practiced placentophagybut it interests me.

Sara just told me out of the blue "there's a different baby in your tummy mommy. Two of them. a boy"

Everyone and their mom is announcing they're pregnant. I can't take it

I'm thinking it's not implantation bleeding. I've had that with all my pregnancies and mine is always old blood. Plus I feel twingie and crampy. Oh well. Shall see how the next few days pan out.

I've heard of the placenta encapsulation! It's becoming more popular. I need to do some research on it if I ever get to that point. Could never eat it though - would definitely go the pill route if I did it!

 

[NDH]

Aww Katie. The week after my mc another couple at bible study announced their pregnancy - due around the time I would have been. I didn't have the heart to share our news that week as we hadn't shared out pregnancy and I didn't want ti put a dower on it, but now they're always talking about it and its so so hard to try to be joyful with them


I'm just home from gingerbread night (well not just as my phone was dead so I've done some chores in the meantime) and mine turned out so awesome! Better than I imagined - except for the lack of stained glass Windows as I bought Tue wrong lifesavers but it looks like such a cute rustic cabin! Will show pics tomorrow (I don't have enough data on ky phone and no home internet so mainly save upload for when I'm at my parents' a couple times a week)

 

[KTJ006]

Can't wait to see pics, Natalie! We've always bought the store kits and never had any luck. There is a huge gingerbread contest about 2hrs from us in Asheville, NC. It's one of the most amazing things I've seen. We have yet to take the kids to go see it but that is on our list!

 

[KTJ006]

Now I have brown CM....hMmmMmMm

I made a thread for January testers, for those of you who have already been visited by the witch. I was just thinking that we have no idea what will be going on with everyone in January and we may have some bfns or some people who are still waiting for a normal cycle to return, so I thought it would be best not to totally spam the board with symptoms and pregnancy test pictures. Of course we will still update each other, but I also want to be sensitive to those who are still needing support and might not be ready to obsess over symptoms with someone yet. It will also give us a chance to meet some other girls who are ready to test and might have been ttc for a few months already. I hope this doesn't hurt anyone's feelings, as my goal is to keep feelings intact. Lol.

Ps- You ladies are amazing and I hope we all get bfps really close together so we can be pregnancy buddies too. and this is not me leaving. I could never leave you guys. Lol

Kylee you traitor! J/K!! I want to come join as a Jan tester but I don't even know if I have ovulated yet haha! If I am one it will be late Jan so I'll wait a little before I count my chickens. But I totally get the sentiment - I want to be sensitive too as our group goes through the next couple cycles. It would be so cool if we all got our BFPs around the same time! This support group has been awesome for me going through this.

Natalie I totally cannot imagine sticking placenta into my cheek - yikes! Haha that is a brave woman who can handle that. But I have heard of the smoothie thing, I don't think I could do it but I get it, iykwim. So glad gingerbread night went well! Can't wait to see the pics! And your girls are adorable, I hope they are right

Katie I've been avoiding Facebook for that very reason - not fun seeing all the babies and pregnancy announcements. I'm sorry you are dealing with that. But brown CM could be great news!! Fingers crossed!

 

[tcinks]

I personally don't mind and would love to see all the ladies in the group get their bfp, even if I don't have mine yet. But I understand. Good luck!

I have my next appointment at 2:45 this afternoon. Hoping it's good news!

 

[KTJ006]

Fingers crossed for you Terrissa!! How is your day going besides waiting for the appointment? Regardless of what news you get, you and DH should go on a date tonight - you guys have had a hard week!

I am with Terrissa - I don't mind following each of you regardless of where we are in our journey, but understand where you are Kaylee!

 

[KTJ006]

Oh my goodness, Natalie...I just looked at your stats...you have over 15,000 posts?! Holy moly! You are like to queen of BNB

Thanks for asking Katie. I am pretty good today, finally getting caught up on some housework! Hopefully we can go out with some friends tonight , that always cheers me up! Oh and our anniversary is in about two weeks and we want to find a bed and breakfast. I called one today that just looks perfect! A private lodge with fireplace and hot tub, fully equipped kitchen , etc only$140/night! Waiting to hear back, hopefully it'll be available.

Just called, and got it all set up. The "innkeeper" sounds like such a sweet old lady! It'll be nice to get away to a nice quiet place in the woods. So excited!!

Now I'm about to go out and get some little treats to make for neighbors and friends for Christmas! I found some cute little recipes on pinterest for pretzel snowmen and crushed chex mix/puppy chow. And found dune best things to package them in. I'll post some pics once I actually get around to putting them together!

 

[KTJ006]

Ok that leads me to ask...how the heck do you post pictures?? Every time I try it asks me for a URL??? I feel so old :-x

Love the bed and breakfast! Where did you book? We haven't been to one in a while, but typically head out towards the mountains if we do go

You have to the image uploaded somewhere already (I use photo bucket, you could use Facebook or wherever you might previously uploaded your pictures) and then you paste the URL from there. It's a little annoying, it would be more convenient if you could upload directly to the site.

It's just a little tiny town here in Kansas. But far enough away. We went to Estes Park , CO for our honeymoon and had a little cabin in the mountains. We like secluded places.

 

[NDH]

What about those of us testing before January Kylee? I want to be respectful of everyone's feelings but don't really want to find another group just to share testing stuff with.

Katie I upload my photos to photobucket, copy the 4th URL given and then paste directly into the post on BnB.

Leigh I'm not sue about raw either. Heck I'm not eve sure about dehydrated capsules for myself either

Terrissa a b&b getaway sounds so perfect!

The girls exclaimed over the gingerbread house got 10 minutes then the chimney"fell off" and Chloe came by and stole a tree and then the other trees were felled in short order and the almonds are being picked off the roof one by one. Do I still need to feed them breakfast when they've been feasting n gingerbread?

 

[KTJ006]

Terrissa can comment, as she created the group, but whatever your status is (trying, not trying, testing now, testing next month, waiting to test, ovulating, healing from a MC, going through a MC), this group is open to you. Hence the name of the group 'Journey to BFP and Beyond." It's all about us getting to that point. We'll all be at different stages and phases but the goal is to each support each other in getting there

 

[kdmalk]

I don't think anyone has a problem with sharing the excitement of testing... I just know my tendency to spam tww boards, so I was hoping to give everyone a break. I also thought it would be fun to meet some people testing at the same time. I guess the thought was that if someone in the group gets a bfn between now and then, they might have a hard time seeing someone's bfp??? This is why I avoid feelings, lol. I clearly have no gauge of emotions.

I would be super happy for any of you girls to get a bfp... even if I got a bfn. I'm sure we would all be the same, now that I am actually thinking this through. I didn't mean to upset anyone or suggest that we shouldn't stick together through testing and whatever comes out of that. I typically err on the side of not being sensitive enough, and now I fear I have gone too far in the opposite direction. Sigh. Again, feelings are NOT my thing.

Sorry!

 

[kdmalk]

Terrissa- thinking of you. Hope your appointment goes well.

 

[tcinks]

Oh Kylee I don't think anyone is upset! I really appreciate you being considerate of others' feelings. I, at least , was just saying it won't bother me if you post tww/bfp here. But also of course I understand you want to find others testing at the same time as you! No worries, just don't completely leave us, otherwise how will we plan our trip California? Or England ...or whatever we are supposed to be going .

Natalie, your girls just sound too cute! And I wouldn't worry about feeding them.

thanks Kylee, just about to walk in! I'll update later, of course.

Never mind I just hes another "oopsie daisy look at the big mess mommy"and there's just collapsed walls and no roof in sight Well that was a good hour of fun for them :eyeroll:

 

[kdmalk]
