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

[claireybell]

Thank you claireybell!

Im so nervous this time around, my very close friend went through a m/c at 8w 3d, and then a blighted ovum her second pregnancy, it was really rough and has certainly made me look at a BFP differently now! ... She finally got her beautiful son born 2 weeks ago and I couldn't be happier for her, but im just so nervous about this pregnancy now, I have 2 healthyd daughters and never had a m/c but I feel like statistically it must be my go now, sorry if that sounds ridiculous, im constantly comparing tests and stalking other people's photos for reassurance!

Do u think these are ok for progression? all FMU taken at 11dpo, 12dpo and today at 13dpo? (Today I would be due on) x

Def great progression there Keeps

Im still really nervous, its amazing how nerve wrecking it gets as we get older lol! I have midwife on Thursday & terrified of finding 0 hb as ive not felt anything really yet!

Old frers are great hehe

No worries Gigabyte!
I was a slacker ******* the last many days and just wanted AF to go.
No she's gone, and I am gonna have to get a hail mary to get a donor by Mon/Tues.
I am soooooo frickin happy for you GIGS!!! I can see the diff in your hpt pics.

Bad timing all around, as most guys are with SOs for V day grrrrr.
Unfortunately everyone is far off - no one close - and I refuse to beg young donor after he left me hanging last minute and all.

Gahh F my life lol.

Keep Definite progress.

 

[gigglebox]

Blah, i hope something comes through in time J

Top is yesterday, bottom is today. Definitely darker.

 

[campn]

Gigs- I'd say it looks darker to me, also I saw better results testing every other day, and those new FRER never were as dark as the old ones, really they're probably the worst tests now.

I had my OB workup today, they took SO much blood I'm so light headed now. Also I told them I'm not doing the NT scan/genetic testing. All it would do is cost me money and put me in so much worry if something seemed off.

I told the the nurse as she was about to examine me oh btw I haven't shaved! Haha she said oh don't worry we don't even care!

 

[gigglebox]

Lol! I'm sure they've seen it all, and probably way nastier than you could ever be.

Ugh, i hadn't thought about the nt scan i'm not sure what i'm going to do this time.

 

[claireybell]

Really hope you manage to get a donor or 2 sorted J

 

[claireybell]

Campn you a Raspberry

 

[claireybell]

And Gigs you need a baby fruit ticker

 

[mrs.green2015]

All you pregnant ladies have such fast growing babies! Wow CB an orange?! Holy cow! Lol

So I've been reading silently but really not feeling good about Ttc anymore. Kind of thinking of taking a break from everything including Bnb but let's be honest.... Not sure I could. I also took another opk today and it's darker than the other. Definitely no where near positive but hey I finally got a second line!

 

[shaescott]

Unfortunately it seems this thread is very prone to miscarriage. Possibly because a lot of people on here have frequent miscarriages and there's a 25% chance of miscarriage either way. But the farther you get, the lower the risk, so never give up hope. My mother had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and was told not to try again for 3 months. 3 WEEKS and a positive pregnancy test later, it was discovered that she was pregnant with yours truly.

Awww mrs don't leave us alone! I want to hear all about your weight loss progress. Also, sounds like you might ovulate soon!

I'm feeling better this afternoon, despite being up at 4:30 and Des annoying the crap outta me. I took another wally cheapie this afternoon and it's darker by a smidge, although I'm having a helluva time getting a pic. I got all frankenstein on my last new style FRER and cut it in half. Still worked! AND it was as dark as this mornings after 10-15 minutes (where as this mornings has been drying for 8 hours). So yay! Now I'm really hopeful about my test tomorrow morning.

 

[mrs.green2015]

So glad its progressing nicely gigs!

As for the weight loss and fitness it's going great! I just cleaned up out lt spare room and put my treadmill, weights and mats in there over the weekend so now I have a space to workout in rather than the living room. I even hooked up the extra tv with the wii so I can watch Netflix!
Overall I think I've lost a couple fat percentages and about 10 pounds. But I feel much better. And the workouts are getting easier.

 

[gigglebox]

Holy crap! 10lbs is amazing!!!

 

[JLM73]

I am SOOOO frickin over BnB deleting my damn posts!!
OK repeat- If it's one thing I learned working in the med field, it's that NOTHING is certain, nor constant. What happens to one is in no way guaranteed for the next 20...
I am OHHHH so sick right now, and DS is being a smart alek so time for me to lay down and give mom yet nanother thing to complain about....
I just finished some sweet n spicy sushi- was soooo good but stomach didn't agree

 

[campn]

Miscarriage is really and sadly common everywhere but not a lot come online to talk about it.

Greenie- Yay for a second line! I'm sorry TTC isn't fun anymore, I dreaded it too but hopefully once you get pregnant you'll forget about it all! All you'll really remember is the cycle that worked and the BFP! All the BFNs will pale in comparison. Stay strong you're tougher than TTC!

Claire- I know I can't believe it's been over a month since I found out and now the nurse was talking about using the Doppler next appointment! Also I've been saying "bean" a lot rather than baby so I don't get too attached in case something bad happened but they asked me "this is your first baby?" And all I could imagine was an actual baby!

 

[shaescott]

I can't wait for tomorrow's test gigs, can't wait to compare it with yesterday's for a clearer difference!

 

[mrs.green2015]

I think what has me most upset is March getting so close. Which will put us st a year of officially Ttc. (Not to mention the 4-5 months of ntnp) then my stupid doctor told me to wait another year AFTER my miscarriage? Like really? That'll put us at almost 2 years of officially Ttc.

 

[claireybell]

Oh MrsG please dont leave & your 10lbs weight loss is awesome

Plus, with bd'ing every other day seeing from your chart & progesterone & a nearly positive opk i def think your gonna Ov ooober soon hang in there, it will happen again hun, its stressful ttc & can take the fun out of sex, we got like that ttc Riley but its gonna happen for you guys soon x
