[Beautifullei2]

hey ladies!!! I was just about to post on how quiet this thread has been I have been stalking people but not saying to much!!

Jenna- I can't believe you are 7 months. I remember when you first got your

momof1making2 that idea sounds cute! Im also curious to see pictures. My friend is always posting stuff on fb about ideas she gets of pinterest so I finally looked into it & found some yummy recipes. Im still learning how to work the whole website though lol.


afm: Ive been laying low & actually had soem brewskies this weekend which was so nice!! DH & I didn't have the kids so it was nice to relax but I was ready for them to come home by sunday morning! I was tired of only being able to talk to DH hehehe

 

[Jenna_KA]

I know, I feel like I just got my BFP. I can't believe how time has flown by. Second trimester definitely lagged, but I feel like third is going to come and go all in the same day lol. Even just thinking right now "There's 12 weeks left" blows my mind!

 

[Beautifullei2]

I just LOVE your bump!

I feel like its christmas checking out your pics lol!

 

[Jenna_KA]

Haha thank you!! That's how I feel waiting for you to test hehe!

 

[Beautifullei2]

lmao Then I can honsetly say I know the feeling haha! I am so ready to get out of work, I am dying of boredom lol. Plus smelling these stinky people isn't helping at all.

 

[typeA TTC]

Hey ladies!! Glad to see everyone is doing well. I don't have much to report bc the IB started me on my second round of provera so I'm still taking 10 days of pills right now. Can't freakin wait for AF so I can get started again. I've wasted this entire month waiting for AF!!

 

[Jenna_KA]

LOL!! Stinky people are definitely a big bummer! I can relate to that... Working as a CNA in a nursing home, your days are filled with stinky butts.
WOW!! Still waiting on AF?! I thought for sure it would have come by now. Jeeze : / How many days do you have left of the provera?

Today we're going to get boxes to start packing!! Just 5 more days until we move OHH BOYYY! Then we're going to Value Village for some more baby clothes (We like to get a little bit at a time to give us stuff to do when we're bored) and then we start our birthing class tonight! It'll be interesting :]

 

[Lucasmum2b]

hey girls

hope you are all well. Sorry not been on again for a while but have reverted back to my shell again with all the TTC. I received my 21 day progesterone level back about 10 days ago which was 2.1 so no ovulation on fourth cycle on chlomid. I went to see the fertility specialist yesterday who told me that we should wait until we have the ovarian drilling which is not scheduled until January (6 month waiting list). He told me if i wanted to i could take chlomid until xmas but i think what is the point if its not working. Least i get two months off to relax in the build up before xmas.

Jenna - 7 months wow not long at all.

Lei - whats your plans now are you breaking for a while?

nice to meet all the rest of you.

x

 

[Beautifullei2]

I feel like I fell off the bandwagon lol!!

TYPEA - I cant believe you still have not had a visit from AF!! Sheeesh!

Jenna- Wahoo for moving!!! We are still going back & fourth cause they wont drop the interest rate!

Lucasmum- What is the drilling?? I have heard other women talk about it but never asked?
DH & I both decided we would take a break for a bit. Im not sure when we will start trying again or even if we will go full force with it like before. We both pretty much stopped taking everything that told us it would help (as it didnt) & have that mentality that it will happen when it does. So far its been relaxing lol!

 

[typeA TTC]

I have two more pills...thank goodness! Hopefully I still start by halloween!!!

How does one know whether they need ovarian drilling?

 

[momof1making2]

Goodmorning all! I am so excited because in 5 days I go to the FS to test!!! I refuse to do any pee tests at home and am just going to wait until Monday but had to shout how excited I am because it is getting so close, I hope this weekend flys by! It's weird because before ( over the last year of trying) I never use to read my body and try to find symptoms or anything like that and now I do with EVERYTHING! I drive myself crazy lol I think it has something to do with this being my first round of clomid and I hope it does the trick

Jenna. I LOVE YOUR BUMP thanks for sharing! You are one of those adorable pregnant women are you planning to breastfeed?

 

[Jenna_KA]

Woohoo for testing I hope the first round did it!! It's so hard not to symptom spot I know how it is lol. What are you feeling so far?

Thank you lol! I started out pretty slim so this is definitely different for me my body has changed A LOT lol. I've gained like 30lbs already and that's how much I should have gained by the end It's all gone to my thighs and hips and butt! I've got lots of stretchie marks there. I'm not worried though, I'll deal with it after! Yes, I'd like to breast feed. This sounds really bad and I feel bad even saying it, but I'm kind of weirded out thinking that someone will be sucking on my nipple... I don't know.. I'm still going to do it because I want him to be healthy and strong and everyone says its a great bond, but thinking about it just makes me feel weird. Hopefully I'll get over it. You and Lei have number 1 already, did you two breast feed? How did you feel?

 

[Beautifullei2]

I think once the baby is here you will think differently. I only did it for a little bit cause dd wouldn't latch on right. After about a month of still not fully getting my milk & very painfuls nips I stopped. Not to mention dd was losing weight so the doctor even mentioned to try bottle feeding. I don't know if its normal or because dd wouldn't latch on right but I got really painful blister type things on my nips that hurt.

 

[Jenna_KA]

Ooh, weird! That sounds really painful! My friend had a baby a little over a year ago and I remember going over there and her showing me her scabby nipple. It wasn't blistered though... That's strange. I hope my weirded out-ness goes away once he comes. I'm sure it will and I'll be calling myself silly for thinking so. Were you able to pump anything or did you just not bother? So far I don't have anything coming from my nipples yet (and believe me, I've been squeezing to make sure!) My friend had colostrum by 28 weeks, but I've read that it's not uncommon to not have anything until way later.

 

[Beautifullei2]

well not so much blistered but if you have someone sucking on your nip it gets sore & hurts. Im trying really hard to think of a better word but im getting nothing in this brain of mine

I think this cycle (even though we arent trying) is a bust for DH & I. I am O'ing this weekend & with our drive to AZ for my grandmas funeral it may be hard to BD & even more so when we are there.

I cant believe no one has a bfp yet!! The other night I dreamt of fish which they say is a sign of someone being pregnant. We shall see!

 

[Lucasmum2b]

sorry for late reply girls, ovarian drilling is done as laproscapy surgery where they drill holes into your ovaries to balance out your hormones so it should help me ovulate naturally. It should work within 3 months of the procedure and if not BFP they are moving me straight onto IVF. x

 

[Jenna_KA]

Maybe you can squeeze in some BD during the travels or something. As long as you have some waiting you still have a fighting chance. I didn't BD the day of O, but did the day before. Don't force it if you're not up for it though it's hard to get in the mood with a lot of stuff going on.
That drilling stuff sounds brutal! And scary :[ Will it hurt? I hope it works!

I got a skin biopsy done on my finger yesterday. They took a huge chunk out and I woke up this morning and it was stuck to my other finger (yuck!). Now it's all red and swollen. Wahh.. That's my complaint for the day lol. 2 days until moving!!!!!!

 

[Beautifullei2]

I know this month is still not over & momof1making2 I still have your testing date up!

I went ahead & changed the name so please

SEND YOUR NEW TESTING DATE

 

[Beautifullei2]

Jenna- It has my O date on monday which is the day before the funeral =( Not sure if Ill be in any mood to BD.

& OUCH about the biopsy! It looked like it hurt .

 

[jmHansen11]

wondering if anyone has experienced something like I am this month while on clomid-

I took 50mg cd3-7 this month for first time. i think i was overstimulated (I Ov on my own, just trying to boost because we are using donor sperm) I ended up ovulating early, either cd11 or 12. I'm now cd 30 and usually my period starts somewhere between cd27-29, the only thing I've had is heavy brown spotting off and on and some cramping on Sunday. And when I say off and on, I mean Sunday it was heavy enough for a tampon, but Monday, little to nothing, off and on tuesday/wednesday morning but nothing by wed afternoon and today only tiny brown spots when I wipe. My temps have come down a bit, but still well above coverline. I tested yesterday at 17dpo and BFN.

I just want my period to really start already! I don't think those days of medium-heavy brown stuff counts as a real period, right? Could this be from the clomid?
