International bumps to be!

[mzswizz]

Aw I hope you get better soon Chrissi.

AFM, right now Im feeling pretty good. TSA just called me a few minutes ago to schedule the interview for next tuesday. I am sooo happy. Hopefully, I dont freeze up in front of the board members because I tend to get nervous during interviews. This will help us financially and also I can use my healthcare to see my doctor for free yayyyyyy Everything isgoing pretty good for us right now.

 

[rjsmam]

aw chrissi that sounds horrid - hope it doesn't last long, don't worry about taking the meds if you really need them - the doc wouldn't have prescribed them if there was a risk. can understand you being cautious though!

mzswiss - great news, i'm sure you'll do just great

stuckinoki -how ya doin - did ya get a chance to try catch that eggie?

madrid - hope you're doing well & hope that bleeding is on it's way out

dusty - any news from you hon, how are things

any of you heard from hena - hope she's ok?

woke this morning with the worst af pains - wow they were so bad. i dragged myself to work after taking x3 ibuprofens

[mzswizz]

rj-I know the feeling. I always get midol complete and take two of those and feel great. And thanks. Usually I get nervous during an interview so im just trying to be calm. Im hoping i get the job.

 

[ChrissiK]

Good luck on the interview, mzswizzz!

Dusty - BFP sinking in? Any nausea? When will they check for twins!?

And I have the same questions for Stuckinoki & Hena as rjsmam!?!?!?!

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks Chrissi. Actually Im ready to do the interview. I feel that I am qualified for the job so there is no reason why they shouldnt hire me. DH use to work for them so he helped me out alot so I think im prepared. And God wouldnt give me an obstacle thats impossible to overcome.

Good luck with the interview mzswizz. I'm sure you'll be fine!!!

Chrissie I'm sorry to hear about your infection but I agree with rjsman, if the doctors have prescribed the meds I'm sure they're safe for you to take them.

Dusty, Hena and Stuckinoki how/where are you?

The bleeding is nearly stopped so I'm just hoping that tomorrow the gp will refer me to the scan for next week and that everything will be ok. Apparently once the bleeding stops I should take a pregnancy tests as my levels should be low enough to get a bfn and therefore expect O.
I've received my O strips in the post yesterday so I'm ready to go!!!

[mzswizz]

madrid-atleast you are ready to go. i feel like i am going to do fine for an
interview. hopefully you get a bfp.

 

[rjsmam]

well Madrid i hope you get a bfn (how bad does that sound!) so that you can start again & get a super sticky bean in there!

i caved and took soy yest morning -what i think was cd2 - mostly though because my af was sooooo painful & it really felt like i was being tortured. i figured they would make af lighter (and it has). i passed some horrid clots (sorry tmi). hopefully i'm ready for a bean after this af clearout!

also ordered some cheap opks to use - not used them before, i think i sort of know when to start using them but should i just use one a day until the line starts getting stronger?

[Madrid98]

You should use them from cd10 & i recommend afternoon test better than mid day.

Just came back from Gp. He's booked me for the early pregnancy unit to have a scan at 12.40. Not long to go!!

Xx

 

[rjsmam]

great news - let us know how you get on Madrid!!

 

[mzswizz]

let us know how that goes madrid.

rj-i agree with madrid, test in the afternoon its better that way.

afm, im just going to relax today. dh and i had a terrible sleep and i dont know why. we woke up thirsty and hot which is weird. but i was able to get some extra sleep in. cant wait until DH gets home. there's a few things i have to do though but i dont know if i should do them today or just wait until monday. i think i might do them today. we will see on how im feeling. today i have to call a couple places though and DH and i are going to apply and pay for passports so we will have them yay. cant wait to journey around the world and see different places. also happy about the interiew but i think my nerves will hit me that day. i have to be there 15 mins prior to the scheduled time so i have to leavr early. i also have to be at 2 places that day so i will be pretty busy on tuesday. bring on tuesday though, i think i am ready.

Hi!! The scan has shown that I haven't passed it all naturally and that if I don't by next Thursday I'll need to have a d&c. The gyno has given me antibiotics and she's hopeful I'll pass it because she said most of it was close to the front of my cervix. She was very nice and she said she doesn't want to go through with the d&c yet because I've already been through a lot and she told me she rather avoid it.

Not having a very good day I'm afraid. I've been crying for most of the day whenever I remember something. I guess it's all a bit overwhelming. This is much worst than the first time around.

Sorry I can't be more positive but that's me today.

[mzswizz]

Its ok madrid. I was the same way. It will take awhile trust me. I had the d&c. I never got the option to pass naturally so you are lucky. Just hoping you feel better soon.

madrid - i am so sorry that this is proving even harder for you - no need to apologise that you're not positive right now - remember this is just yet another obstacle in your way of a gorgeous babe in your arms. it will all be worth it..

[ChrissiK]

Oh Madrid -

big hugs and I hope it passes naturally! We will be thinking about you this weekend!
And come back and update/rant/cry anytime!

 

[stuckinoki]

I'm here girls. Sorry, I've just been busy dealing with the insurance company and getting ready to graduate.

DH and I did NOT have a chance to catch the egg. I ovulated right on time naturally on CD16 and this probably might have worked out since DH was due home the very next afternoon...unfortunately his plane was delayed another 3 days so there's absolutely no way in hell that we caught anything other than dehydration from all the welcome home sex. lol

I talked to my PCM and she's getting all of the paperwork together so that I can see the real "out in town" fertility specialist next month. Hopefully they can give me a better answer...but I'm pretty sure that we're heading toward IVF the next cycle DH is home for.

DH leaves again this week for another deployment...we won't have a chance to do anything until at least the end of November....so I'm just hanging out and trying not to think about it.

I'm not temping or anything right now because I'm sure it would just depress me knowing that we're missing an opportunity to make a baby

How's everybody else doing...

Has anybody heard from Hena??? I hope she's doing ok.

 

[Hena]

Hi everyone, I'm back from my holiday. I just spent two hours catching up on all your posts and am now too tired for a real update, but I'll just give you a quick one.

Madrid, I'm so sorry about your loss. The fact that the physical pain seems to mirror the emotional pain feels like salt in the wound. I hope it ends soon.
Actually, we have both been grieving for the same length of time. I see that your baby and my grandmother passed away on the same day. That's the reason I wasn't even giving quicky updates from my holiday any more. It probably sounds strange, but I am so thankful that I was there...before the hosiptal when we were all able to eat and catch up and laugh together, then the short time at the hospital talking with her, comorting her, and finally saying goodbye. Then especially for my grandfther afterwards. I can't imagine the emptiness I'd have felt from over here while my family was loosing her over there.

So that's my quick, sad update. No bfp to announce either, let's see what this month brings.

 

[rjsmam]

oh Hena, i'm so sorry for your loss. can totally relate to you being glad that you were there. life sucks sometimes.... sending love & prayers to you and all your family..especially your grandfather.. love and hugs xxx

 

[rjsmam]

hi stuckinoki, urg so sorry to hear about the plane delays making you miss the eggie, that must have been hard to bear. also must be hard saying goodbye to dh for so long

good news on the specialist apmnt, will you have that before hubbie comes home?

Hopefully. My PCM was supposed to call me back on Friday but didn't so I guess I'll give her a couple more days before I start harassing her with phone calls.

I'm sure I'll be able to see them pretty soon [they are really expensive if you don't have a referral. But I'm pretty sure that our next step is IVF.

I don't really care either way, I just want a stinking baby.

Hena; sorry about your gram gram. My gram gram passed last March and I was there with her. It was one of the hardest things I've ever lived through. She was my best friend and I still miss her every single day. You and your family are in my thoughts.
