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

[moter98]

Thanks colta. That makes me feel better. Good to know!

Its a shame you have to jump through so many hoops just to see a specialist! Sounds like your AF is miserable. I used to have very bad ones as a teenager. So much so I would throw up. I ended up going on the pill because of it and that cured the problem. Then when we ttc ds it was back. After I had him though I haven't had it bad since. Dr said its cause delivery clears everything out of there that was causing it. I didn't ever pass many clots though and not big ones. I think the amount of pain you are in will get you on the fast track to seeing a fertility specialist. It can be indicative if endo. Though note, you can still get pregnant with endo!! A natural remedy for this is royal jelly, propolis and bee pollen. You can get them in an all in one capsule called queens delight or take them separately. I took it while ttc for other reasons. I also recommended it to another bnb'er that has endo. She took it for two months I think and is now pregnant. It's just something I came across while ttc to boost fertility and it mentioned endo specifically in one of the articles I read. Will see if I can find it again.

Here is the article. It explains the benefits of each. And about the endo benefits.

Hi all. What a day. Just got home. So will try to catch up. Lol

I did register for the space saver high chair and as for stroller we spend most of our days standing in fields. Be it for horseback riding or football and then there are the outings and field trips for school. I love a big giant do what you want to in there because I am not chasing you stroller. Lol my kids were always ready to get out of the umbrella stroller but I'd load the big one up with all sorts of goodies. I don't stay home. I think if I were to have to I would go insane. My daughter went with us out to eat after leaving the hospital and my son went on a cruise at 2 months. Bulky and impossible to open equals lifesaver for us. Went shopping today and got some of Xmas done. I may actually make it by the time Finn gets here. As of today we got the crib, changing table, rocker, swing, toddler car seat and high chair. Only other expensive item is the stroller combo the rest I can swing week by week. Today got some more bottle stuff and pacifiers. They were on clearance. I am also on amazon moms. Plan on signing up for the diaper drop ship. They are super cheap there. I am gonna go on a hunch that we will have to have pampers. Both my kids got terrible diaper rashes for other brands and huggies being the worst. My daughter actually had skin come off. Apparently they are both allergic to the absorbent jelly in huggies. (that space age stuff that grows by absorbing water) it was awful. She couldn't wear any diapers for a week. Lol and as for showers I am having 2 huge ones, but for some reason no one is buying from the registry and my first one is in 2 weeks. Lol I had a come to Jesus with dh today though and I got him to agree that wee would consider each item carefully while making a return pile. And after some prodding he agreed that albeit cool the hiking gear is going back lmao

Moter... Try bananas. I get terrible cramps in my calves and dr said its low potassium. So glad you are gonna push for a scan. I hope you get it and totally agree that if he doesn't keep an eye on this if for no other reason then to appease you that you need to ask about the perintologist.

Tv... First day of school is a huge deal. I cried on and off all day. Now I just cry as they get out of the car. Lol

Twinkie... Won't be long now. How ready are you for Liam to be here?

Colta... I would go insane if I had to do what you to get medical help. Sheesh what a nightmare. And consequently my biggest fear with Obama care..... Well that and paying for everyone to have healthcare. I had to go to the dr in London while I lived there for a summer and it was a nightmare. I want no part of socialized medicine. My dh is all for it but we are on opposite fences as far as politics. Lol and our joke is why vote we cancel each other out. Lol I do hope you get some answers. They need to do some tests. Especially with the periods you get. No worries on description lol I usually refer to mine as the crime scene. God I don't miss af. Lol not much longer to the meeting right? God I can't wait for details.

I can get what you mean about the waiting... I don't mind it all that much though. I'm sure if I growled loud enough about things, I could get things moving along a bit sooner.
It's nice to have that kind of peace of mind with regards to emergency care or treatments I or my family may/may not need. As much as it is a pain to deal with waiting and what not, I never have to worry about how I'm going to afford tests or what would happen to me or mine if we were to have an accident or something.

But I can see your point on the other side of the coin. It'd be nice to just step up and say, "I want this test and I want it now". And there is ways to do that here... we can get private/paid for medical treatment if we so desire... I just don't see the point of paying an arm and a leg from something I could get soon enough with a little persistence.

Sorry. I thought it was the very first day. Hope it was a good day either way.

 

[moter98]

Thanks for the banana tip mail

 

[mailcmm]

I don't feel good today. Just ate my breakfast and it didn't help. I am totally nauseous. My back hurts more then usual and I am very sleepy. Unfortunately I have to work today and it's my friends kids bday and we have dinner plans. Today is going to stink.

 

[Twinkie210]

I am getting ready for Liam to be here, but I am not quite there yet I am hoping to make it until at least next Thursday (37 weeks), that is when I see the Dr. next. I am pretty sure that he is still breech (I could be wrong though) so I am anxious to find out for sure and get a plan together on how this crazy little guy will enter the world. I am supposed to stop taking my medicine tomorrow, so I am also anxious to see if the contractions pick up any and what my BP does after I stop taking it (since it is actually a BP medicine that also relaxes smooth muscles). So I guess I have a lot riding on my appt on the 13th

 

[moter98]

hope you feel better mail!

good luck twinkie. it will all work out!

 

[Twinkie210]

I hope you feel better mail! It is crazy how those days sneak up on you! It never fails that you will feel your worst when you have lots of things planned too

moter- how are you feeling today?

TV- maybe I missed it, but how did your son's first day back at school go? DS takes while to get used to the schedule every year. He is usually so exhausted that he is in bed by 7pm every night the first week or so

Colta- I am glad you have patience to wait! I guess if I was used to the way your healthcare system works it wouldn't seem like that big of a deal, but I am used to just calling a Dr and making an appt, not waiting for referrels (well some insurances require a referrel from your primary Dr., but mostly that is just formality and paperwork, I don't think the primary Dr.'s usually deny referrels).

 

[moter98]

feeling better. no bleeding or cramps so hoping its a good sign

 

[mailcmm]

Thats fab moter. when is your next aptointment?

Afm... Feeling better. Still have lots to do though. And still tired.

 

[moter98]

Friday. Where I will insist on a scan next week!

Take a nap or put your feet up if you can mail.

Mmmhmm... same here. I'm sure if I lived in the states I would be used to the opposite.
Once you get a doctor here, it's kind of the same. We just call and make an appt and then discuss things, same as you would. It's just to get a doctor at the moment. I can't seem to reach my old one to get him to refer me to an ob/gyn in my new city... But it's fine. We need to find a family doctor and pediatrician anyway for when we adopt, so no biggie.

 

[mailcmm]

I am finally home. Got right in bed. We had dinner at a hibachi place. Big mistake going to the food olympics. I feel like violet from Willie wonka. Lol so glad today is over. It wasn't bad per say just off. I felt off and the kids were wired and I was late to everything. Tomorrow I am staying home and cleaning. Since the garage sale I have completely organized exactly half the house. Gonna do the other half tomorrow. Lol

Moter... You stand firm. I bet they give it to you. I wouldn't even ask I would tell him. Lol I bet it is healing and everything will look great. I know that doesn't mean you are home free but at least you know what's going on. I don't see why he can't just order the scan. My dr orders them left and right, and I only asked for the first one. I have another in 2 weeks and then 3 weeks after that and then we will start weekly scans just after that. Lol and I have already had 4. Still using the Doppler? If so everything good on that front. I haven't used mine in awhile. Finn moves so much I haven't needed to.

 

[moter98]

hibachi, yum!!!!!

i will. i'm prepared to see 100 ob's till i get the level of care i need. don't see why he shouldn't want to anyway. i'm paying for it. could really use some good news!

my SIL is on HBR right now. her cervix is short and she was having contractions. they gave her steroids for babies lung development. she is doing ok as of now. she is 26 weeks.

 

[mailcmm]

Shes having multiples right? I can't remember. Prayers headed her way. Hopefully she hangs in for several more weeks.

 

[moter98]

Yeah, triplets. Hope they can help her hold out till 32 weeks. That's how long the dr wants her to go

 

[mailcmm]

Well that's only 6 weeks away. Hope she makes it. Y'all should hole up together.
