{CLOSED GROUP} Journey to BFP and Beyond!

[NDH]

Eek scary and exciting sharing the news! I havent done so yet with anyone IRL. My mom also always knows when km pregnant too, usually before I do.
Last time I told them the day I started bleeding, and I'd been going to tell them this time before I started bleeding and I just couldn't tell them again until I knew a bit better hat was going on. But of course the day of my bleed my mom was playing with DD while I cooked dinner and she came in and said to me "so Sara says you have a baby in your tummy, is that true?" (Which is how we told my parents last time, by telling Sara to tell them a secret) luckily that morning she had told DH there was a baby in HIS tummy so I laughed and told mom that and didn't give an answer either way. But yesterday Sara told mom again while we were driving somewhere

Now that I feel confident all is OK I will tell them soon, and I plan to say that Sara's insistance there was a baby in my tummy (the weird thing is we haven't said anything to her!) made me take a pregnancy test even though my period just ended. It feels easier this way. We were going to wait til I had my scan but I can't keep lying to my mom for 4 more weeks

Congrats to the girls that spilled the news (or are about to)! So exciting!

So my brother came to town and I headed up to visit my family and we only got to bd last night bc hubby worked today and I left him behind. I bet this won't be our month with this bad timing. And if not, we probably will take that break. I'll keep you guys updated.

Anything new with anyone?

 

[kdmalk]

Urgh. I had a dream last night that I was pregnant. It's funny because even in the dream I knew it was too early to know. But somehow I had a positive digital. I'm currently 2dpo, so no possible way to know. Lol. And with our awful timing this month, I just don't see it happening. Why does my mind have to go and trick me like that?!

 

[jlw617]

It's always possible Kylee! It only takes 1 swimmer I was reading on another board about a lady that got a bfp recently and they only dtd once! You never know!

 

[tcinks]

Seriously. How often do you have pregnancy dreams? I've only had two, and it was always when I was pregnant, like a week before I could test. This could be it for you too!!!!

 

[kdmalk]

Jamie, if I am pregnant this cycle, I am that same lady. Lol

 

[Fleur828815]

Terrissa, just wanted to wish you good luck for your scan! Am on my phone so will catch up properly later.

 

[jlw617]

Lol, let's hope you are!

 

[tcinks]

Thanks fleur! It's in just over an hour. I'll of course update afterwards.

 

[NDH]

How exciting/scary! I hope it goes well! 6+2 is when I had my first scan with DD2 and saw her little heart flickering away . I hope you get to also, though it's also on the early side to for sure see it.

Here is our little kitten at 6+2

We are so excited! So amazing to see that little heartbeat. 120bpm.
And they gave us a little goody bag of stuff (including baby formula and bottles...which I won't be needing for months Haha) . And the doctor was super nice and helpful. Have my next appointment April 13, but she says if I have any concerns before then don't hesitate to call. She's very understanding of the fact that after a loss you're a lot more worrisome and she wants to help put us at ease.

Feeling so happy and excited today, especially after telling everyone this weekend, I was so worried we'd see something bad today and have to untell everyone.

Terrissa, congrats on the great scan, I’m so pleased for you ! Glad you’ve got a good doctor too. Hi baby :wave: Your mom sounds really intuitive. How did your family react?

Natalie, so when are you going to announce your news?

Kylee, hope you’ll be that lady too, who falls pregnant after BD just once.. it does happen!

AFM : I’ve booked a scan for Wednesday morning but want to postpone it again, DH is refusing to let me haha.

 

[jlw617]

A www that's so awesome Terissa, I'll be getting mine done a little closer to the 7 week mark on the 27th!

Hi Ladies! Long time no chat!! I had some unexpected travel come up for a consulting gig I'm wrapping up. It lasted way longer than I anticipated but I got to visit some cool places I haven't been to in a while (Atlanta & New York being one of them). Anywho...

T - congrats on your scan!!! SO glad it went well. I hope it put you at ease and you can celebrate some!! That picture is so cute and definitely shows a precious babe. My guess is a boy based on the heartbeat

Fleur, Natalie & Jamie - How are you guys?? I hope everything with your pregnancy is progressing as it should.

Fleur - definitely head to the scan. It will put you at ease and help you know one way or the other. Will your DH go with you? I told mine that if we ever get to that point again, he will be coming to every single scan. On the few times he didn't come in the past, I always received bad news so I like to think of him as my lucky charm

Natalie - Good luck on telling your family! That is always an exciting moment. Keep us posted. How are you feeling otherwise? What does your doc say about the bleeding you're having at the time of your period? Hope you aren't too stressed about it. I have heard that happening before!

Jamie - how are you feeling these days? Are you and DH just over the moon excited? I forget - do your kids know about you being pregnant?

Leigh - Totally understand where you're coming from. I was that way a few weeks ago, then this travel came up and honestly it was the best thing for me. I literally wasn't on BNB or Facebook for almost 2 weeks and it was just the break I need. We will miss you but hope you pop in from time to time to give us an update.

Kaylee - you sound a lot like me. Wanting to plan everything! I say just go with what feels right. Don't try to think about the "what ifs," because seriously, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow (definitely hope not!!) and all of the planning wouldn't matter. If you end up getting the job and become pregnant later, awesome. If you end up getting the job and are also pregnant at the same time, awesome. I'm a big believer that you wouldn't be given anything you can't handle. There's a time for everything, and it's out of our hands!

Same old, same old here. I'm about to ovulate (should tomorrow or Wednesday) and we have set the stage fairly well so far. Did some BDing last night and on Friday, and will tomorrow night and whenever my peaks are. Feeling a little better about this time around, so please PLEASE please cross your fingers for us! If it doesn't happen this time around, we will likely take a break for a while (or even stop altogether). It has been tiring and as much as we would LOVE to make our family bigger, I am so grateful for my two kiddos and thankful beyond words we have them.

Missed you ladies!! Hoping for continued good things for all of us!

 

[tcinks]

Fleur, go to your scan !!!! and yes , I hope you are taking DH with you, mine always comes

Thank you Jamie! I'll be looking forward to seeing yours

Katie, so nice to see you. :wave: I hope this cycle works out for you guys, keep us posted!!! Your job sounds so nice, getting to travel places. Does it keep you from your family a lot or can they come?

 

[NDH]

Yay Terrissa! It even looks more babyish than blobish like so many early scans do! So happy for you!

We announced to my parents on Sunday night at our weekly dinner. They were happy but reserved (which suits me fine, my mom usually gets over the top excited which I can't stand lol) Mom suspected a couple weeks ago but then saw Chloe bouncing on my tummy and thought she must be wrong. Everything else is going well. No more bleeding (so far anyway) and crazy enough I'm actually feeling flutters already. I know what it feels like though and it's unmistakable. Anyway definitely reassuring.

 

[KTJ006]

Terrissa -My full time job is to stay at home with my kiddos It's the best job in the world! Prior to kids, I was living the corporate life and traveled all sorts of places for marketing. We went to photoshoots, met with vendors, worked with customers, etc. I'm a marketing major and I've mainly worked on the retail side in the activewear and clothing industry. I loved it before kids. Once kids came along, I never saw them. Seriously. I would either be traveling all the time, or I came home from work too late and didn't get to see them before bed. My DH at the time was a school teacher, so his schedule was much more flexible. Long story short, DH went into the healthcare world which allowed me to stay home with the kids. I now do consulting work (still in marketing) when it works with my schedule. It keeps my resume active in case I do go back into that world full time, plus gives us some nice spending money

Natalie - I LOVE LOVE LOVE those flutters. I miss them so much and hope to feel them again one day

 

[kdmalk]

Hi all!

Terrissa- LOOK AT THAT SWEET BABY! So happy for you guys!

My friend also had her scan today and saw the little HB ticking away. I sent it to DH and he said "hopefully you will be giving her the same news soon!" My first thought was that he must be confused about how babies are made. But in all seriousness, I also hope I am the weird lady that gets pregnant after one BD. I say this every month, but I would love to have an early December baby. My brother is an early December baby and I like him, lol.

Finally got an email tonight that I won't be moving on in the application process for that job. It actually annoys me a bit because I basically applied for my own job, only elsewhere... But apparently there are others more qualified for the position (according to the generic email). I find it a bit laughable that they don't seem to think I am qualified enough for a job that is literally my current job description. On the bright side, I'm not in limbo anymore and we can continue on the baby journey right now if we so choose. I think we will probably so choose. Lol

Anybody have a January kid? Or is anyone a January baby? I can't seem to wrap my mind around January for some reason. I am just not feeling it for December, so I need somebody say something reassuring about January. Lol

Hope everyone is well.

 

[NDH]

Aw I'm sorry the job is a no go - I hope that means a bfp is imminent as consolation/confirmation its for the best.

My eldest is a January baby. She was due late December and born in January. I think Leigh's daughter is a January baby too.

 

[tcinks]

"my brother is an early december baby and I like him" My sister in law was born in January and I think she is a pretty fantastic person! But lets not give up on December! How many dpo are you? When do you plan test? And don't say when af is late, because let's be real...who ever waits that long?!

Glad you told your parents and things are going well Natalie!
