Good news though Ela is pregnant and puppies are due in early feb :happydance: The scan was amazing and you could see the scans with the ickle puppy inside and the heart beating away. Was very much like my scan at 6 weeks!

Going to try my doppler on her over the week end to see if it will pick up puppy heart beats :thumbup:

Very cool and congratulations to your Dog Ela! I would love a dog...is that her in your avatar?..German shepherd? That's one of our favorites...too bad we're not closer or we would provide a puppy a new home...I would love one especially after my loss...I need to give my extra love to someone.

Yes thats the one! She is a Northern Inuit which were a mix of husky, mal and GSD at the start.

I dont know what i would have done with out my woofs through all this and now the puppies give me something else to focus on for a little while.
 
PS Raz, it's a shame we can't all be like dogs and get knocked up so easily! They seem to BD once, and that's it!:haha:

LOL i know we took her to the dog twice the deed was done in 10 mins and she is knocked up on the 1st try! Mine you i wouldnt want to act like she did for 3 days every month when i was ready to be fertalised!! LOL
 
I agree...I'm actually jealous they get pregnant so fast :blush: LOL

She is beautiful and it will be so fun to take care of those pups in a month or two!
 
Thanks for looking into adeno for me Vicky. I’m not completely symptomless unfortunately. I was on birth control pills for 17 years. I went off when I decided to ttc 3 years ago. BCPs can actually help because they are reducing the estrogen you produce. Once I went off, I started having midcycle spotting that wasn’t related to Ov. And it wasn’t just one day. I’d have several days of it about a week before Ov. After my first pregnancy ended, I had a day where I had an excruciating stabbing pain in my ovary area and had a ton of brown blood come out for 10 days or so mid-cycle. They thought it was a ruptured cyst but couldn’t find evidence of it. Since then, I’ve had a pulsing sensation in that area almost daily, but most pronounced when I have AF, am spotting mid-cycle or am pregnant. The area feels like it is being irritated. My uterus lately has been very achy constantly. The reason I had the MRI was because the doctor saw an abnormal shape to my uterus with my HSG but couldn’t say what was causing it. Once the MRI was done, he saw the tissue in my uterine wall pushing down on my uterus causing the abnormal shape. I’ve read that some women don’t know they have it until they have a C-section and then it is diagnosed. The women who have MRIs to diagnose it are obviously in severe pain. If I hadn’t had my mcs and the HSG, I might not have had it diagnosed for a long time. My friend works for the FDA. I will ask her to pull some research based articles for me. I contacted the Florida doctor again and they are going to schedule a phone appointment for me in mid January.

Gaynor and Virginia, are you hair stylists? You seem to know so much!

Liz, I’m a celeb whore too. I also like Nicole Richie now that she’s had her kids. Did you see that her ex-stylist, Rachel Zoe is pregnant? I’m in total shock. She’s so anorexic looking I really didn’t think she’d be able to get pregnant. For some reason that bugs me. I know, I’m horrible. I do like the stories of older celebs who have had issues and then get their babies though. Gulianna and Bill (the guy who won the first Apprentice and the woman who hosts the E channel) have my heart. She’s 35, couldn’t get pregnant, was told to gain weight which she did. She finally moved to IVF, got pregnant and had a mc. Did IVF again and it didn’t work. And doing it all on national TV! She’s a stronger woman than me.

Lisa, my spirits are good so far today, but it’s only 8am for me! LOL! What kind of car did you get?

Raz, how are you doing sweets? I’m so sorry you are in limbo land. How is your body doing? Congrats on your dog. How long do dogs stay pregnant? It doesn’t sound like very long! I wouldn’t mind being a dog. You don’t have to do OPKs and you get knocked up with multiples very easily.

ARGH, my computer battery is dying. Sugar, I’ll look at your chart from my phone and get back to you.

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one...I don't buy the mags or anything so I get my smutty information for free off the net (does that make it better???). I agree with you about the E presenter and her partner...heartbreaking especially since we know first hand the pain of losing a baby and difficulties getting pregnant...no way could I do it on TV. I was actually surprised Nicole had two pregnancies being such a skinny merinny herself...Rachel is a bit older and skinny as well...it does provide hope I suppose or jealousy depending which way you look at it. This year I think I've found out Pink, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, obviously Lily Allen (poor thing) have all suffered M/Cs before...I'm not a huge fan of any of them but it humanized celebrities for me a bit...OK enough about celebs...my OH thinks I'm mad!
 
Sugar why do you have open circles for all of your temps post ov? I'm thinking that might be why FF isn't giving you crosshairs.
 
Wow you got a brand new car! How fun! We just spent $700 fixing some things on our 2003 Toyota yesterday. How nice to have a brand new car with no worries! Yay for you!

Liz I read online and read the mags at the gym. I have to admit I buy them but only when I'm flying on a plane. Otherwise I refuse to pay money. I agree with your comments about the women who have had mcs. I like them much more now. And like you I'm not really a fan of any of them in general. Nicole was scary skinny and did heroin! Now she seems healthy though. Just found out a second ago that Natalie Portman is pregnant. She lost a ton of weight for Black Swan. Ok I'm done talking celebs too !

Squeaking in one more celeb comment...:blush: Natalie was the instigator for the big blow out with OH because I was on some site just browsing and found out and for some reason got pissed (I actually do like her) and said something a bit mean out loud and then it all got out of hand...I try to be happy but it's still hard unless I know they've had a hard time...Ok promise that's it!:winkwink:
 
Yeah, repairs are the reason that I went ahead and bought a new one. There's nothing wrong with my car now, but I really loved the car and its my first actual "New" car.
 
I was releived when Nicole Richie gave birth! Just proved to me that past behavior really doesnt affect ttc and pregnancy lol!

Hearty hope you dont mind but ill be asking my doc about your case on Janurary 13th when i go in for my scan. He collaborates with the top FS in the country who deals with really difficult cases. Maybe he can pick his brain....
 
Right I've decided that I want to be reincarnated as a dog! Many are pampered, live a completely stress free life, get knocked up as easy as wink and their pregnancy lasts 9 weeks:haha:

Dazed congrats on your new car. You should try and post a pic for us to gawp over!

Hearty, my temps are circled as I've slept in nearly every day of the Xmas period so far. Thanks for the advice, I'm off to change the time to see if that makes a difference!
 
PS I admit to buying at least 3 trashy mags a week, but I'm trying to wean myself off them. If you google celebs who've had IVF, it's amazing how many have had it. made me feel a lot better!
 
That's great about Ela, Raz! So cute! Did you get a pic?

I think everyone is right, Lucy. Just too early. I hate that my scan is at 6+3! I expect similar worries after next Friday. You'll have great news soon though!

Jeezus, I've already forgotten what I just read! :dohh:

I hope anyone traveling has a safe trip!

I'm having a hard time with being 5+2 today. This is when my first bub stopped growing. The second didn't even get that far. And, to top it off, I can't seem to have any symptoms today. Its a hard milestone for me. I'm going to be a nervous wreck all day. Hoping I get some symptoms back before the day is over!

Oh, and about the place with all our important dates... I need to update the front page again. Sorry!
 
Megg, don't worry pleeaaassseee! Remember how many preggo girls on here freaked because they didn't have any symptoms for a day or more? :hugs:
 
Megg, think of how dark your last HPTs were and think back to yesterday when you said how happy you were about it.

Preg symptoms come and go hun, I'm sure everything is fine.
:hugs:
 
Vicky I would be honored if you talked to your doc about my case. Thanks!

Liz, I love Natalie Portman too, but I know what you mean about having a harder time with people who haven't had any issues. My husband is usually really good with all my emotions but from time to time, he's had enough. He pointed out a newborn the other day on the street and I told him I didn't want to look. He got annoyed with me telling me I can't always avoid them. I told him I don't always avoid them, I just didn't feel like being triggered at that moment as we were out on a lovely date. It's just different for men, plain and simple.

Megg, :hugs: I'm sorry today is a tough one for you. I could spew lots of PMA about how much different this pregnancy is (polyp free) and how great your test lines look, but I know nothing will change the fact that it is a tough day. Your entitled to them. Your symptoms will come back. You'll have a gorgeous scan. You'll have a baby. But that's all in the future. Today, just sit with your sadness. Breathe through your anxiety. You'll get through today and tomorrow will be brighter.
 
Sugar just looked at your "new" chart. I don't know why it isn't showing Ov lines. Maybe because your temps have been dropping? I'm stumped.
 
I logically know all of that... But it still doesn't make today any easier. Sadly, I tell everyone the same things you just told me, but I don't know how to take my own advice! Could someone just make me vomit? Please? :haha:
