General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

I am hoping they just say it's from my period, but I will also feel like a dumbass lol. But yeah the pain was off and on all day but from 1:20-5 it was unbearable. I am passing a lot of clots, too. Nothing big. Like mostly bead sized with a few dimes here and there.
 
Oh noo hope its nothing serious Dobbles, please update but do glad your getting yourself checked!

Im still gonna be floating about here girlies, i love this chat feed, its so nice chatting with everyone :)

For those who are having Wine tonight, enjoy some for me Lol & enjoy the de-stress :hugs:

Sometimes a break from ttc is a good thing Gigs as the stress & anxiety just takes over everything, really hope you get back on the wagon in a couple of months :hugs:
 
Typing this in the car as I just had the scan done and we saw a baby with a heartbeat! I'm so relieved and so grateful and I hope everything continues on going well. I saw the OB and she was so happy with everything and told me now I'm officially a patient.

The tech said I ovulated from the right ovary, which is so weird since I've felt all the cramping on the left side. The right ovary is my good ovary though so yay!

I hope you ladies are having a better day today. Thinking of everyone of you and so lucky to have you for support cause you've kept me sane and kept me from breaking down.
 
Dobby- I'm glad you went hun! Please update us, I'm thinking of you <3
 
Oh YAY!!! Campn im so pleased & happy & relieved for you :hugs: sometimes bsby takes a couple more days to develop! Celebrate with some Choccies & orange juice lol xx
 
Thank you so much Claire! I had the worst few days and tried to keep my expectations low but now I can breathe a little bit. Both pregnancies diagnosed as "threatened miscarriage" so we are defying odds here :p
 
I think its just a general pg worry aswell, im terrified all the time but just have to trust in mothernature & let our bodies do their job, its having no control, but so glad bubs is bopping in there, did u hear the hb or only see the flutter on screen hun? :)
 
So happy for you Campn! It's the most amazing thing looking at that on the screen.

Hubs is officially on board with Ttc and has approved of opks! It was actually a very funny conversation he acted as if it's been 6 months since we stopped and he was waiting on me! Anyway AF is super heavy and clotting which is s little unusual. But I'm waiting to hear back from the doc on what she wants me to do as far as ovulating goes.
 
Claire- we only saw it flutter and it was at 121 and the doctor said anything from 120 is good! It probably just started beating too!


Greenie- YAY! So glad he's on board hun!! That's always a scary discussion I bet so I'm really happy he was all for it! The clotting sounds like you ovulated!?? OPKS are definitely going to be so helpful and reassuring. I'm so excited for you!
 
Dobs, thinking of you..maybe it was a ruptured cyst. Glad you're getting the medical pros to look at it.


Yay campn! Great news! Although i knew it would be ;P
 
MrsG:roll: Geez...WHY did you keep HIM waiting???
LOL men are so funny:haha:

Campn:wohoo: The flicker is awesome!! Now you can rest your mind from worrying....well for a day or so LOL Isn't making humans Stressful??? lol

Dobbles:trouble: I was about to pack a bag and fly to Cali to drag your ass to the ER lol
You know if it's pinpoint pain at the ovary it could be a cyst! or torsion!
Woman- don't play with the hatcheries!! :hugs:
Hope all is resolved and it was just a flukey momentary thing!

Pacific How you doing for travel?

GigglyBits:happydance: VERY happy to hear you are not leaving:shhh: and hope you are knocked up already lol.
I know you were back burnering it for a bit, but the same way that getting preg wreaks havoc on some peoples minds- I know many women who it absolutely brought joy happiness and renewed hope to.

For all the PURE HELL I have dealt with in the last week with son and mom- honestly had I been able to meet the donor and had hope of a bfp- Honestly I would have been so giddy inside that half their BS I would have shrugged off or laughed off.
Also not making Light of your wrries about Des' speech- but Real talk:
My oldest son took a LONG time to speak much or well. Literally at 3 years old I could write simple words and he would say them, but he never spoke more than 2 words at a time. He was kind of garbled on some words, and he had a weird habit of saying certain words twice!?:huh:
My pedi doc was so concerned she started looking at very rare birth defects, and chromosomal probs AND sent him to have his hearing tested at a pedi specialist
:dohh: Which he FAILED miserably because he would not repeat the words from the headset, nor did he understand the instructions he had to follow.

I thought he was really OFF! Well ...started him in part time daycare- half days, and literally in a couple months HUGE difference!:shock:
Something about interacting with and watching other kids do things and he was 100% better. By the time he entered kindergarten they wanted to move him up a grade?!(I said no thx) but the kid was fine the whole time.

HEHE- funny relation for reference but it works: I got an African Grey Parrot years ago. I was in awe of their perfect mimic and speaking ability.
I hand fed it so it was bonded to me, and for a YEAR not a damn word from this bird!! I was pissed. Then I read "for the first year or so - they may not speak- but rather are listening, learning and thinking, and will one day burst out with speech when confident"
OMG it was true:rofl: I came home one day and my husband was chattering away in the other room on the phone.
Walk in the room and :saywhat: Hubby wasn't even HOME!!! LOL
The damn bird was having a convo in EXACT voice of my hubby, and even said"Ok...Talk to ya later" AND included the sound of the phone hang up!!!
FREAKY but so amazing.
I think Des will be just fine. :hugs:
Look how many "diagnosis" they gave you while preg etc that were off.
Docs are NOT always right, and some march to a different drumbeat in life.
He will get there :hug:
 
Doctors can be such jerks, I'm sorry but it's true. They kept fighting with me to stop breastfeeding and giving my son formula and food at 4 months cause he was in the 40th percentile. Big deal! Humans come in all shapes and forms. Doctors are obsessed with weight, you're either too big or too small. One doctor pissed me off when she kept insisting I must vaccinate my son with the flu shot at 10 months old.

That's why now if one doctor pisses me off enough I just tell them well I'll find a different doctor and good luck with your online reviews :p
 
The gyn said I must be fine if I refuse to take Motrin/ pain killers. The pain is back now. Not as bad as last night. She did a half second speculum exam and a five second push fingers in but didn't even touch the dude with pain!!! Despite my history with cysts in my uterus/ovary she said I'm fine and just need motrin. I emailed my old gyn
 
Greenie, so glad you are officially back on the ttc bus and getting your opks!!!

Campn, Awww yay for your flicker!!!! Did they print out a little picture for you?

K out of energy
 
Seriously!? That doctor sounds like a complete jerk! You're clearly in pain if you went to urgent care. I'm sorry hun. I hope the pain goes away soon so you don't have to deal with stupid doctors.

Here's the pic, it's not the best quality but boy what a difference a few days make! From no baby at all to a baby with a heartbeat. Early scans shouldn't be allowed.

Awww J, thanks so much. You too campn. Hubs keeps reminding me that des chance of survival was 15%, anything else we deal with is ultimately nbd. He's alive, happy, and healthy, and i need to get over my crazy. That's the thing i'm struggling with, like we were talking about campn, i got to the extreme in my head with everything. I need to get a grasp on it, and honestly, i probably need therapy for a slew of other crap i've never dealt with, too.

Dobs, i'm so angry for you. That's a classic torsion or rupture symptom and i can't believe you aren't being taken seriously. Wtf.

Wtf doctors.

Ugh and my dog had bloodwork done this week to check his liver, and the vet calls and he sounds like he's about to deliver me the "your dog is dying" news. Thank god it was just to tell me his levels were elevated but stable, which is fine.

I just need Xanax and a day alone in bed. Guess i'll settle for Clonzepam and a nap. I think Des actually fell asleep...
 
I'm sorry camon, i'm totally in my own head today.

I'm so happy for you and your scan, and the picture is great!
 
Claire- we only saw it flutter and it was at 121 and the doctor said anything from 120 is good! It probably just started beating too!


Greenie- YAY! So glad he's on board hun!! That's always a scary discussion I bet so I'm really happy he was all for it! The clotting sounds like you ovulated!?? OPKS are definitely going to be so helpful and reassuring. I'm so excited for you!

Rileys 11-12wk scan was 121 aswell :)
 
Gig- I've learned things usually turn out fine no matter how hard they get. I'll be thinking of you and des! Glad you're sticking around.

Campn- what a beautiful little girl!!

Dobs- what an asshole. Doctors are either amazing or shitty in my eyes. Hope you feel better. Plus the drugs sound kinda nice. lol
