lol colta! wow, 1000 posts and more to come, hopefully from the rest of us posting our BFP's. i've got a ways to go before testing yet. only 3-4 dpo. i've been looking really hard for symptoms, but i just can't find any. i was really confident at the beginning of the cycle, but now that i'm in the tww my confidence is faltering. i don't feel any different, same as last cycle. really, really want my little .
the holidays should help keep my mind off it all. we will be busy this weekend visiting family and having family over here, and my son's first official morning. this year he can open presents so i'm really looking forward to that. we got him a cute little rocking horse that sings. i think i'm more excited about it than he will be. oh, to be a kid again!
i hope you testers get your xmas miracle. good luck to you all.
you preggers ladies, hope the stays away for you this weekend so you can enjoy your

moter- I am only 2dpo and my confidence is wavering too LOL. I have made a promise to myself that if I don't get my BFP I am going to call my Dr. and ask for some blood tests, especially my thyroid. I have a family history of thyroid disease, and I have many symptoms of hypothyroidism. I didn't realize until now, how much your thyroid is connected to fertility. So I hope making this plan now, will keep me from being too disappointed to see a BFN, because even if it is a BFN I am going to start seeking out answers about why I MC'd and why I am having trouble getting pregnant. And if I get a BFP, well I guess I will just try to enjoy it!

twinkie - i have a family history of thyroid problems too. my mom had to have hers taken out. i always make sure to get checked for it and was checked last june, all fine. i am close to insisting on bloodwork myself if i don't get a bfp really soon. i don't have any thyroid symptoms or anything, but i know my hormones have been out of whack since i had ds#1. my hair was so dry that i couldn't even use heat styling once without frying the ends. (i have naturally curly hair and of course love it straight) in the last 2 months my hair has gone back to normal so i thought my hormones righted themselves again. but, no bfp yet. i think i would feel better just getting some tests done and knowing one way or the other if anything is wrong. hoping that this month will be bfp's for us both and we won't have to worry anymore about fertility, getting bloodwork, opk's, hpt's, bbt's, bd.....it's getting exhausting!

 

[mailcmm]

twinkie and moter... I really hope it doesn't come to it, but if you don't get your bfps it couldnt hurt to seek out answers. Just in case anyway.

We told dh's family today. They weren't too excited. They really haven't said anything to me about the mc either. SO I don't know. it's ok though. I am over the moon. Full blown happiness. And dh is beyond excited. He wants to be a daddy so bad.

 

[menb]

mail- that is so odd, because my Dr. only does quants before the 8 week mark and then relies on U/S after that... it is so funny how they all go to med school, but all have slightly different ways of doing things.

menb- I would call your Dr. anyway. If you Dr. actually says "I told you so" then find a different Dr.! They are here to help!

Thanks ladies,

I guess I'm going to swallow my pride and go ahead and inform the doctor. I guess I also feel kinda silly with it only being 3 weeks and all. ?? Oh well, for the baby-sake, I'll email him tonight!

 

[menb]

Menb... I forgot. I am going to change my status to BFP do you want me to change yours or do you want to wait a bit? Let me know girl. And like they told me... Consider each pregnancy a healthy one until you have a problem. We don't help baby if we stress.

Mail, you can go ahead and change me to BFP. You can't tell, but I'm super excited for this! It's just so scary since I feel the same way I did with the other MC's. I wish there was a way to know if all was well. GEESH!!

 

[colta]

well... I broke my promise to myself and tested tonight.

Unsurprisingly it was BFN... what else is new? I know I'm early, but I just don't see this being our month (again)... even though we did everything we could. Just don't understand.

My mother had radiation to treat an overactive thyroid, but I have symptoms of an underactive one... but it might just be coincidence. Glad to know I am not the only one thinking this too!

Have any of you read the book "Heaven is for Real?" I am half way through it and it is an amazing book. It really makes you think and see things in a new light. I recommend it if anyone is looking for something to read. It is a true story about a little boy who gets sick and gets to visit heaven and is about his experiences there. I don't think you have to be super spiritual to get something out of this book either. Just my two cents.

only 28.3% of women who are pregnant get a bfp at 8dpo. the rest get a false negative this early. don't lose hope yet! (i googled again, lol)

i love to read. you will have to let me know when you get to the end if it has a happy or sad ending. i don't think i could take a sad ending right now.

i'm looking up thyroid symptoms and i do have some of them, but i always have had some of them and my dr's say my thyroid is fine. i did have bloodwork on it maybe 6 months ago. i had some enlarged lymph nodes behind my ear and was worried. dr did some bloodwork to check everything and all came back normal. turns out it was just some scalp infection. but now i'm reading that after a m/c you can develop a thyroid problem. something to be aware of anyway.

I have read it twice. Have you made it to the spot where he meets someone special in heaven yet? It really made me cry so hard.

Guessing it wasnt your FMU? How long did you hold it before you tested? Think you need to hold it atleast four or five hours with nothing to drink. Test again in the morning and let us know. Remember it is still early

 

[moter98]

how are you feeling berdc? is the MS getting worse, staying the same?

You're right, it wasn't FMU... but I had held it for a while. I dunno... I get so down on myself and about everything so quickly and then I come mope on here... , sorry I'm such a drama queen!

I am going to test in the morning and see what happens, but I'm not going to fret if I get a BFN, it's too much stress and worry... although I would REALLY like an awesome x-mas present. Keep all appendages crossed for me ladies... once more into the breach!

Ive tested no idea y just makes me feel better ha ha but im not surprised that it was but fingers crossed for us girls its still early

I sobbed at that part! I read the whole book yesterday, LOL. It was so inspirational!

Tested again this AM and as I figured, it was BFN... ah well. I'm only 9dpo and I was using dollar store brand. I think I'll pick up a frer and see if I can't get an xmas day bfp tomorrow. If not, I'll just wait until AF is due.
