Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

Well, I'm out. Started spotting. Not at all surprised. On to cycle #8. #6 AL. I'm gonna relax more this cycle. No bd on a schedule!

That exactly how i feel this cycle im not gonna even do opt i just gonna let nature do what it does best i know roughly when i will o so may try a bit more around that time but im spending to much time worrying and it will never happen if its like that. gl to you

Good luck to you! Yep, time to take a step back and stop worrying so much. It's really a huge weight off my shoulders.

Hey everyone. Just got home. Went to work today. It was a very very very long day. I realize I missed bunches. So I'll try but my pregnant brain is already washing away the info lol.

Berdc... Glad dr apt was uneventful but sorry it was a waste of time.
Twinkie... I hope you get your lp sorted.
Moter, tv and colta... I am gonna call you the zen ttcers. Lol

As for me... Really tired and my blood pressure is off. It is usually around 100/60 and when I got home it was 127/76. I know that is still normal but it's much higher hen usual. More importantly I tested because my heart feels weird. And that the best description I can give. It feels fluttery

 

[mailcmm]

Oh and 5weeks tomorrow. I am so excited.

 

[moter98]

5 weeks mail! thats great. hope you feel better. could the pain you are feeling possibly be anxiety attack with being worried about baby and all?

 

[moter98]

Hey Twinkie - i was just reading my taking charge of your fertility book and it says that a 11 or even 10 day lp is normal and enough to sustain a pregnancy. looks like most months your lp is long enough.

 

[mailcmm]

I don't think so. But ya never know. My mom said my face was red at dinner tOnight.

That's great you found that info for Twinkie. I really hope everyone gets their bfp

 

[mailcmm]

Well I am off to bed. Super tired.

 

[mailcmm]

I hate mornings. Need more sleepy. Unfortunately son came back from dads with pink eye that nobody bothered to call about or treat. And I have to drive daughter to school. Not looking forward to the hour long trip. Where we live the schools aren't great so I drive them to FL to a private school. Problem with this school is its too good and they are way ahead of public schools so I am stuck taking them there. Lol

As for me I woke up with a ton of new fun things. My boobs have gotten sore (welcome to the party ladies, fashionably late I see). My ms is back with a vengeance and my exhaustion has escalated. Oh and my nose and gums are bleeding. Yay

How's everyone else. I know we have time yet. Can't wait for y'all to start testing.

Morning gals,

Had dr appointment yesterday at 10:30. He did an internal and said all looked and felt great. He did say that my uterus felt more like end of August rather than beginning of September. Either way--all was well. He wrote an order for the early pregnancy scan and said to demand it be done this week. So, I called as soon as I got back in the car and didn't have any problem this time (they could probably see the order in the system). They got me in at 1:15!!!

Had u/s and everything looks great! The sacs are right where they should be... Yep, I said "sacs" plural!!! Twins!!!

Now, we are just doubly nervous!!! But also doubly excited!

 

[mailcmm]

Appleseed!!! We are the size of an Appleseed! Whoo hoo.

It's the little things that excite me. Lol

 

[moter98]

Menb- oh my gosh, twins!! Congratulations! I bet that was a surprise.

Mail- hope you feel better.

Hey Twinkie - i was just reading my taking charge of your fertility book and it says that a 11 or even 10 day lp is normal and enough to sustain a pregnancy. looks like most months your lp is long enough.

I just bought that book! I already do most of the stuff in it, but it is a great tool to have none the less.

I have no doubt that a 10 or 11 day LP is long enough to get pregnant (I got pregnant once with this LP) but if you read the foot notes it says that a 10 or 11 days LP can cause problems, plus if you factor in that I start spotting before that, it means that my lining is starting to breakdown a little early. I am not as worried about the 10/11 day LP as I am about the 7 day LP from last month. Hopefully my LP goes back up this cycle! I am also a little concerned that the Prometrium doesn't really lengthen my LP, I would think that this would give me the normal 14 day LP, but not even close. I get maybe an extra half a day to a day and that is with spotting but maybe that will change this month.

Twins! Congrats! Are they going to do another U/S when you can see heartbeats?

 

[mailcmm]

Omg we were posting at the same time. Lol congrats. That is amazing. I am so happy for you.

Thanks ladies! Yeah, total shocker. Thats why my HCG levels were so high. Went from 2498 on Thursday night to 15386 on Monday morning. Praying super hard for super sticky beans now. Still trying to stay positive and take one day at a time. Still über scared. Yep, I have another scan set for next Friday. My LMP was Dec. 3rd, but they said they can't use that since I'm measuring bigger. ???

I don't really care about a specific due date right now--just want a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

Thanks again ladies!!

Berdc, I actually used your profile pic to tell hubby about twins. I showed him your pic and explained what he was looking at (uterus, sac). I made sure that he understood that the black spot was the sac and that's where the baby was. Then, I showed him our pics. He was like, "why are there two black spots? Wait, are there two sacs? Are we having twins?" He couldn't stop smiling!!! He is so happy.

Then he showed me that Nissan commercial where the couple finds out they are having a baby and the husband goes out and 'stretches' out the car. Well, there is an updated commercial where they find out they're having triplets! Hilarious!!!!!

Twinkie - maybe it just takes time for it to work? Everything I've read about it says it's very fixable so something is bound to work. I hope you can get this figured out soon. Prayin hard here!

 

[mailcmm]

That is funny. I would fall over if they told me twins. Which still isn't out of the realm of possibility as my numbers are super high too. did they say that the high hcg is really a good indicator? I have read so many mixed stories. More congrats that is just awesome.

 

[moter98]

Mail- I wonder if you will see two beans also. Your numbers were really high.
