{CLOSED GROUP} Journey to BFP and Beyond!

[kdmalk]

Kate, it's okay! I know you are upset, but if you guys have been bding a lot this week, I bet you've still got some little dudes swimming around up there waiting on the egg. It only takes one! Try not to get down about it. It's not over yet!

 

[NDH]

Hugs to both of you Kylee and Katie.

Kylee definitely try not to panic - symptoms totally come and go. I get a few occasional twinges in my breasts but theyre usually fine. My nausea hits about 4pm every day and lasts most of the evening.

Katie I how how disappointing it is I'm so sorry he let you down again Have you BD at all this week previously?

 

[kdmalk]

Just got out of bed and I did wipe the teeniest bit of the brownish stuff again. So now I am definitely worried. Tomorrow can't get here fast enough.

Texted my boss and I'm going to work from home today. I plan to work from bed.

 

[Fleur828815]

Kylee, it is totally OK for symptoms to come and go. I’ve mentioned it before, the ONLY symptom I had was slightly sore boobs when waking up in the morning. Just before 8 weeks I woke up and they were fine, no soreness at all, so I told DH I was having another missed miscarriage, I was convinced of it. But up till now things have been fine, even without symptoms, so please don’t stress too much about it ! Just read your update, gosh you must be so worried, I understand, but I had brown discharge for ages after my BFP.... I asked my doctor and he said that's fine, it's just old blood being shed. Good luck for your appointment tomorrow

Aww Kate, so sorry DH couldn’t perform… It must be stressful and tiring for him too. You’ve been BDing A LOT the past few days (and his sperm will hang around for a few extra days), so you’re not out even if you haven’t ovulated yet. A friend DTD just once a couple of days before ovulation and she got her BFP… One is really all it takes.

 

[kdmalk]

No more brown. Just the one time like the other two times it happened. My friend suggested calling my doctor but I remembered that my doc and her nurse are off on Thursdays, so that is a bit useless. Just over 24 hours until my appointment. I can do this.

Oh, and while bbs are not even near their soreness yesterday, they are sore again after waking up and getting around a bit this morning. Hopefully just a weird fluke at 4:30 this morning.

 

[Fleur828815]

It all sounds normal to me Kylee Can't wait to hear about your scan!

 

[coucou11]

Kate I'm so sorry! But if you have been BDing this week then I imagine you are fine, timing doesn't have to be right on the ball to be correct. I think they say the best time is the day before O anyway, but the first time I got pregnant it happened when we BD'd the day after O actually, so even that can work!

Fleur did you make you 16 week scan appt? Don't worry, everything will be fine! Can't wait to hear about it

Nat hope you are feeling good, only a few more days until your scan, it sounds like everything is very positive!

Jamie sorry to hear the MS is back! Hope it gives you a break, but at least you will have some help in Idaho it sounds like, that will be a relief, you can relax!

Kylee definitely try not to stress! Glad you worked from home today. Take some time and relax. Everything is going to be great. It's funny because I was thinking earlier about my first pregnancy. I had zero symptoms the entire time, and of course I was so innocent and free from worry back then that I just was thankful not to be sick and thought about how lucky I was! It's so sad that pregnancy will never be that way for me again. But long way to say that symptoms are not a requirement for a healthy pregnancy - and they most definitely come and go! Your scan tomorrow will be perfect.

Nothing new here, three weeks from today is my first appt. I am going to take a digi tomorrow morning just to see what happens, and if it's not good then I might order my own blood test. My boobs are slightly sore but no real nausea or anything. Just same old, same old. Trying not to think about it too much... haha!

 

[KTJ006]

So here's how our schedule has been:

Saturday: we DTD. Had "high" reading on fertility monitor

Monday: we DTD. Had "high" reading on fertility monitor

Tuesday: DTD that night as I got a smiley on the new digi I was using. Fertility monitor still said high

Wednesday: still high on monitor. Smiley face on digi. Tried DTD but failed because of DH's 'Performance issues'

Thursday: smiley face on digi; fertility monitor says peak. Tried to DTD this AM but no dice.

Will try again tonight but I think we missed the boat. If I do have endometriosis, then I need as many guys as possible and I just don't think I do. DH is on a trip next month so if it doesn't happen this month then we have to wait until July...assuming we want to keep trying

 

[KTJ006]

Leigh - don't worry yourself with a test! It will stress you out.

Kylee, excited for your scan!! Please update us!!

Fleur, don't you have a scan too? Or am I imagining things?

 

[NDH]

Kylee I'm sure all is fine, but good idea to stay home and take it easy.

Katie you should still have another chance tonight - remember that ovulation usually happens 24-36 hours after the positive opk/peak, and then there's another 24 hours after ovulation to still catch the egg as well

 

[KTJ006]

I hope you're right, Natalie!! We'll see how tonight goes. How are you feeling?

 

[NDH]

Miserable haha. But if it means there's a healthy bean burrowed in for the long haul I'll never be so happy to be sick.

Nausea had been starting at 4pm and lasting til I went to sleep fot the last 4 days but I've woken up today so queasy and its not going away.
I never had much nausea with my girls but I felt entirely too good with my losses so I'm really happy to be feeling rotten

I could do without the cold that hasn't gone away since before I lost Mira and is now getting worse though

 

[kdmalk]

Natalie, mine has been worse at night as well. Though I seem to always think I am going to puke at lunch and I never do. Lol. I make the weirdest faces when I eat now because each bite I take, I am wondering if it is going to come back up. Lol. Haven't thrown up yet though! I usually just power through it because I keep telling myself that I always eat through it and I haven't puked my food up yet. Eventually this will backfire. Lol. I can see myself powering through some sort of sandwich or something a few days from now and then suddenly just *splat*. Sorry. I'm being gross now. I hope that doesn't happen to me or anyone else.

13 hours until my appointment. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!!!

 

[kdmalk]

Good luck tonight, Kate.

 

[NDH]

I've only puked once in one of my pregnancies (and it was at 14 weeks, how random lol). Well I puked lots in my pregnancy with. Chloe but that was when I had norovirus at 24 weeks so it doesn't count
I hope I escape that part again. Constantly feeling like I'm going to is no fun but better than actually doing it.

I bought a birth pool today - getting just a little ahead of ,myself when a brand new one came up on a group I'm in for $60 (regularly $250) I couldn't resist. I was just going to get a cheap kids pool but even that would have cost me over $60 from the US after shipping and exchange rate so to get a proper birth pool for that is a bargain.

 

[KTJ006]

Haha thanks, Kylee! We were successful so that's good Nausea stinks but SUCH a good sign! Thinking of you today and saying a prayer for you this morning. Update us when you can.

Natalie, good deal on the pool! Can't pass up deals like that!

Happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow is my due date day Going to try to stay busy

 

[NDH]

Big hugs for tomorrow Katie
I hope for good news at the end of this tww

 

[kdmalk]

Sorry, Kate. Hope you are able to have a decent day today. I know it will be hard though.

Natalie, that is a really good deal. I told my husband a few months ago that I wanted to give birth to our child in a pool in the house and he looked at me like I had two heads. His response was something to the effect of "ew. No." Apparently he doesn't understand. I do kind of worry about my tolerance of labor once it actually comes, so I won't push the issue this time. After our first kid (I'm going to try to be as unmedicated as possible so I can still move around while I labor), if I do well, I will probably put my foot down on the second birth. I am trying to make him crunchier over time.

 

[kdmalk]

I'm super nervous about this morning, which isn't really helping the nausea issue.

 

[NDH]

That was me the dirt time too Kylee haha. I wish I had educated DH and it my foot down, but I did have a good hospital birth so I can't complain too much.

good luck - update us as soon as you can
