Hello Ladies...Sorry I have been Mia, lets see where to start. Well I went for my 20 week check up last friday and to go over results from scan and everything seems to be going good, now just to wait like 8 more weeks for another scan ..so then after that I come home to pack for a trip to Montana which was amazing seeing it on Tv just doesn't do it justice.BREATH TAKING!!! so we get back Tuesday night and I have been going nonstop every since, Laundry and House cleaning and today putting up my pool because these 90 degree days I just cant take..As for my little monkey there is movement all the time I just hope He/She stays that way for next scan..

Haley & Wishin - I am so sorry, I just knew this was your month..I will keep you 2 in my thoughts and prayers.

Giraffes - BEAUTIFUL Scan.

I hope everyone else is doing the best and I will check in with you lovely ladies tomorrow, Have a good night...

 

[linz143]

First! So good to hear from you! Glad that everything is going well. Enjoy your pool and trip! Sounds like a lot of fun. Were you able to find out the gender at the scan or are you team ?

Much to you!

 

[giraffes]

First - glad things are going well!

My section is booked for the 3rd October (my ticker is slightly out but laziness has meant I've never got round to changing it after the dating scan!) It's quite odd knowing that our little boy will be here on that day (bar any problems) but it suits my like to be in control attitude!

According to the tech. "60% " Thats what daddy has been saying all along as I have had the same feeling, and if I go by "myths" then it's a very active Little Girl, so we will see next scan.

Hi ladies.

Giraffes - So excited for you!!!!

Thanks for thinking of me ya'll!! The last week was quite a challenge for me. I started my 3rd round of Clomid on Friday. Saw the doctor and everything was good. I talked to him about DH seeing a specialist to be tested but he still thinks it isn't necessary. He did recommend me doing a post coital test that would allay some of my anxiety. On June 4 I will have this test done. He will take a sample of my cervical mucous with sperm in it and see what it shows under the microscope. He is checking for what my cervical mucous is like as well as DH's sperm amount and motility. It isn't as precise as a sperm analysis but if this shows that everything is good on his end he doesn't need to have any invasive tests done (which he doesn't want to do anyways )

I have been trying to read a lot of positive and uplifting things to get me through this journey. I am at peace with last month and ready to move forward...

Here we go!!!

Hope the rest of you are doing well... ALSO, Wishin I know you are taking a break from here but I am thinking of you girl!! Hope you get some clarity soon!! We'll see ya when you get back

 

[nats77]

Hey ladies, hope ur all ok? I'm havin a down day today not quite sure why I just woke up this morning with a real sinking feeling that it's never going to happen! I felt so positive a couple of weeks ago so really don't know where this had come from, but everywhere I look I see pregnant people, and I can't help but wish it was me. Silly I know and maybe I'll wake up tomorrow with a different mood on, anyway was missing you all so just thought id let off a bit of steam sorry guys x x x

 

[giraffes]

Nats - let off as much steam as you need, we're always here for you. I am totally sure that now your endo has gone things will improve for you, your body just wasn't ready for a baby until they got rid of it. Don't forget you've had an operation, so cut yourself some slack on feeling down!! Sending you big virtual hugs.

Haley - good luck with the post-coital test, apologies if this is a stupid question but do you have to BD at the doctors?? As for the sperm analysis, OH was great and got it done, but he was so embarassed about it. I did point out at the time that his test was a whole heap easier than mine!! Anyway, once he got his results he was super happy as it showed he had great swimmers - this totally did his man ego the world of good!!

 

[wishnhoping]

Hi girls,

Tomorrow I have my appointment with the specialist. I am nervous because I feel like they are going to turn me way and not help me. I dunno why I feel that way. I guess I think they will just say "hey if you lsoe weight" or "hey cut out caffeine"...etc and thatll be it. I hope it doesnt go like that but I have a feeling it will

 

[leia37]

Wishin - all the best for your appointment. I am sure that it will be fine and they will try to help you. Let us know how you get on. will be thinking of you xx

Nats - I hope you are feeling better now and more positive. With your now healthy uterus i have no doubt that you will get your bfp soon (as long as your other munchkins give you time to bd ) xx

AFM - picked up scan results this morning and all shows everything normal like i understood the other day. Unfortunately no good profile pics of baby. Every other scan i have had have always made sure there is a good pic for us but this was all very technical. I have ones of the heart and brain and a face on one that looks very skelatol .

 

[nats77]

Good luck wishn hope all goes well let us know what they say x

As for me well I'm no more positive today I'm afraid, have had a bit of a traumatic day today though, went to the dentist and I have to be sedated as I have a very severe phobia of dentist's so am feeling sorry for myself and a bit groggy, and I gotta have more treatment next week. So not looking forward to that!

Still no sign of af! Not sure when she's even due but sure it's about now! Just wish she'd hurry up already so I know where I am.

Hope everyone else is ok?

Glad all's well with ur scan Leia sorry u didn't get good pics x x x

 

[gemmy]

Hi ladies just checking in, not coming on here too much as it puts ideas in my head to test but I am holding out until Monday , I expect witch on Sunday at 13dpo. Really can't face a negative! Best wishes to you all x

 

[giraffes]

Wishin - good luck! Hope it goes well and it's the start of the road to your BFP.

Nats -Try not to worry hun, whenever I've had surgery it's always knocked my cycle a bit.

AFM - hubby felt baby kick for the first time last night, magical moment! Baby had predictably been kicking every time I had eaten or drank anything so when he got in from work I made a drink and made him put his hand on my tummy. Boom, a huge kick on cue for Daddy

xxxx

 

[nats77]

Aww giraffes that's so lovely bought a tear to my eye x x x

 

[firsttimer30]

In need of some guidance .....I am an emotional wreck, so here goes.
So my Boyfriend and I have been together for 4 1/2 years and for me it has been a struggle, he has 4 kids from a previous marriage and is 15 yrs older than me. To start his ex is crazy and I have put up with so much from her but nothing that I couldn't handle.. So for the past 2 1/2 yrs I have this chick that he dated like 20 something years ago in high school causing problems, I had to delete my FB account because I'm getting messages from people that he is cheating on me with her..So after hearing from family that she is a nut job and that she is trying to split us up I talked to him about it and said I knew what her intentions were and she needed to stop, so then she befriends his 2 older kids and after about a month it goes from them helping her around the house because her husband is in the Army and over seas to her just wanting to ask questions about me and him so when they stop going around she starts calling again, so I call her and in a nice way I tell her to stop that I don't like what shes trying to do that stirring around in another womans litter box was wrong and that if it didn't I would stick my foot in her ass..So the calls and texing stop and then her now ex husband starts messaging me that they are talking behind my back...Every time someone tells me this crap they always start with" you don't know me but I been hearing a rumor that they're seeing one another" of course I don't know them and if they did tell me their name I still wouldn't I'm not from around here I don't know anyone and they only know me through him.
So I get a call yesterday from a woman telling me this shit "a rumor I heard at work" I got nasty with her and told her I was fed up with stupid people calling me with this rumor shit that if it's true than give me proof not this I've heard shit...I told him about the call and ask if she was calling or texting or if he was calling or texing her and he says no, I don't know what to do..I have thought about going to her house but I'm so afraid of what I would do...Advice please......

 

[nats77]

First - let me start by giving you great big !

I don't think I can really give you any advice as such but what I will say is there is so many nasty jealous people out there. The first thing I thought is how do all these people get ur number in the first place? That's a little strange in itself isn't it? I mean it's as if this evil woman has sort of set it up??
When people see other people happy and settled especially with a baby on the way it makes them jealous and for some strange reason they seem to want to ruin other people's happiness.
Only you truly know your husband, I think we all know deep down when something is not right, what does ur instinct tell you?
My first instinct would be to trust your husband and put it down to jealousy on this crazy woman's side, have you tried being sneaky and checking his phone? I don't normally agree with this sort of thing but maybe it would put your mind at rest?
I don't know what else to say Hun, I hope I haven't said anything out of line or that's upset you in anyway, just didn't want to read and run, keep us up to date as to how it goes. Good luck, will be thinking of you xxxxx

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA, I had the stomach flu this week and it was absolutely horrible.

First - It is your boyfriend's ex. He should be the one dealing with her, not you. He should call her up and yell, scream, threaten a restraining order, whatever he needs to do to get her out of your life. You don't need the stress with the baby. It's not good for you or LO. She's obviously not responding to you except to take a different approach when you start calling. Maybe a call to the police saying this woman is harassing you and then they will call her to get her side of the story would show her that you are not messing around.

DO NOT go over to her house because if it ends in a fight YOU will be the instigator for showing up over there. And there's nothing good about a pregnant woman who is in handcuffs. Plus if she can get you arrested for trespassing, harassment, or assault, it will just tickle her pink.

Your OH really needs to take charge on this and if he can't see that this stress is causing harm to his unborn child and or is unwilling to do anything about it just to protect his ex of 20 year's ago's feelings, I would begin to worry about what his true feelings towards her are.

I've been cheated on and I've cheated on someone before. And I can tell you that if your OH is willing to stand up for their "friend/ex/whatever" over your feelings (especially while carrying their child) when it is something totally legit, then something is going on. So you need to make it clear to him that he needs to resolve this and anything less than her severing all communication to your immediate family is unacceptable.

 

[leia37]

First - Big hugs hon, what a horrible thing to be having to go through. Cant advice you any different from Nats and Linz. I agree that its important for you and LO not to be stressed (easier said than done some days) and your OH needs to make sure thats not happening. I hope he sorts it. xx

Linz - sorry to hear that you were sick last week. Hope you are feeling better and getting some food in you now. xx

Gemmy - Will be waiting for your update, crossing fingers for you xx

Wishin - How did your appointment go? x

Giraffes - fantastic that hubby has felt baby. makes it real for them. My oh has also felt baby kick. I wish the kids had the patience to wait for a kick but I will have to wait until the kicks get abit harder

 

[gemmy]

Thanks leia, af is kicking in though I am afraid. I haven't had red flow yet but since yesterday (11dpo) dried up brown blood and brown spotting. I am tring not to kid myself that I am still in as many of my periods start this way. I think cd1 will be tomorrow when i will be 13dpo. Onto cycle 8.... How are you and your papaya?

I also agree with the advice given to first Good luck.

Hope everyone else is well x
