BOMO -

bubumaci - Good luck tom!!! oooooooooooooo the house sounds beautiful!!! You need to post before and after pics for us!!

Swepakepa3 - Good luck!!!

I hope I got everyone!!!
It has been a longggggggggggggggg work week/weekend....so I have been MIA and probably will be this week as well. blahhhhhhh I love working because it takes my mind off of all this TTC, but man do I love Mondays lol

I go in for bloodwork and ultrasound tom. I started taking 3 estrace on sat. I have TONS of CM......is this normal? TMI, but this am i had a long string of cm snot while going to the bathroom......kind of like the ones you get when AF comes, the one you have to wait for to come out lol gross, I know, but this one was clear. TMI, but at least I warned you lol
I am hoping transfer is not sat since I work allll day. I have decided that on transfer day I will probably take off (if I can) but going back to work next day. I am going to act like nothing ever happened. Last ET I took off for a couple days....made no difference, so I figured this time I switch it up. We shall see I guess.

 

[MoBaby]

Hi Stinas! Cant believe your transfer is soooo soon!!

Angie: Stay

 

[Stinas]

Mo - I know! Crazy. How are you?

 

[MoBaby]

Waiting.... That's about it.. Looks like I'll be waiting until jan/feb now as no ovulation and it's cd 19... I go tomorrow for bloods to be sure. I'm fine otherwise!

 

[almosthere]

of course i don't mind, stay angie!!!

stinas-sooooo close, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

 

[Jenn76]

Jenn! I cant believe you are 13 weeks already! Do you have a bump yet? I am dying for one, but nothing really yet. Just bloated a bit

14 weeks on Wednesday looking forward to ending this first trimester. My clothes are getting more snug but I don't feel that I look pregnant yet. Others feel I do, I just feel bloated too. Don't worry you bump will come soon. How are you feeling?

Thank you!
Yes, sort of. In the family there is a plot which had a little house on it. We are completely renovating it and have built on on the ground floor, so we have an additional 40m² downstairs extended living room, opened up the kitchen and it is with a full glass front... upstairs, we had a really steep roof and we have opened up the two rooms a bit with dormers - the roof of the conservatory is now a 40 m² terrace for the bedrooms. Also, we have shortened the master bedroom and added an ensuite bathroom - and the attic is going to be liveable too

Completely new piping, electricity, new tiles on the roof, new windows, new front door, completely additionally insulated on the outside / painted - new garage (hUUUUUge garage)...

Today I was there in my lunchbreak and the tiles for the living room look fabulous! So exciting to see it all taking place. We will be working on all the little things during our vacation like light fixtures, bathroom fixtures etc. - and hopefully can move in early December!

Wow that is quite the renovation, I love picking out finishes. We built two houses in the last four years. I was very hands on with the second one and I loved it. It sounds like you will have a beautiful home come December.

BOMO:


This thread moves to quickly.... sometimes it stresses me out so i stay away for a little while!

AFM: I had an ultrasound on sunday: 3 15mm, 2 16mm, 1 13mm, 1 20mm, and about 6 less then 12mm. They decreased my gonal-f... i have another ultrasound tomorrow, I'm assuming i will be going for my ER on wednesday, thursday or friday!! Really trying to stay positive this time. Lots going on in life in general that has me a little down

Good luck to all the ladies undergoing testing/procedures this week that I missed

Good Luck tomorrow, I hope you trigger soon! This cycle will bring you your forever baby.

Jenn: Do you know the sex of your babies?

As for me just updating in my journal. Y'all don't mind if I stick around even if I'm done TTC do you?

Prayers and Blessing, and happliy lurking,

Angie, we love having you here! I'm done TTC too but I still want to support everyone else on here until they get their BFP! My heart is still breaking for you. I know you have a three beautiful daughters but I completely understand you wanting to share a child with your hubby. Sometime life isn't fair.

Don't know what we are having yet. My next scan isn't until Nov 27 so we won't know until then, unless I can convince my OB to do one at my OB appointment on Nov 1. Dying to know so I can start shopping!

I had lots of CM during stimming and all the way up until I finished my progesterone. I had a similar experience to what you described right before ER. Nothing to worry about. FX for ET soon. I returned to work immediately following ET and had no issues so I'm sure you won't either. It's a good distraction during he TWW. Good Luck!

 

[MrsC8776]

Bomo: I am just gutted for you.

Jenn: Do you know the sex of your babies?

Mrsc: Congrats on your twins girlies. Thats what I secretly wanted, even though I have 3 girls and no boys already. Well I have my grandson

Swepka: Great numbers!

Lindsey: So sorry about your cat. That hurts so badly, I know

As for me just updating in my journal. Y'all don't mind if I stick around even if I'm done TTC do you?

I thought so as well. Thats ok though, we are soo excited for twin girls. Lots of pink starting around the house now.

Good luck tomorrow! I can't wait to hear how your scan goes and when you will be doing your FET.

Waiting.... That's about it.. Looks like I'll be waiting until jan/feb now as no ovulation and it's cd 19... I go tomorrow for bloods to be sure. I'm fine otherwise!

Sorry to hear that you are still waiting. Fx you won't have to wait until Jan/Feb. but it you do we will be here to support you.

AFM~ Switching OB's and my first appointment is Friday and Monday (they break the first app. up into two days). I think it is better to be at a hospital with a NICU if twins are coming. Hopefully my OB/Gyno will understand. It's a little over an hour away from home but it needs to be done.

 

[Swepakepa3]

Getting: I'm doing good, a little crampy at times. Other then that I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster at times but hey what can you do

 

[Jenn76]

MrsC: Good decision! I don't blame you at all, I would be nervous as well if my hospital didn't have a nicu. I'm sure your old OB will understand.

 

[Lindsay18]

Stinas- holy crap!!! So soon!!! Haven't heard from you in a while so I was so shocked to hear possibly Saturday! How awesome!!

 

[Stinas]

Mo - Oh that stinks! I hope your bloods show that you can do it now instead of waiting!

MrsC - Its this thread, lots of girls here lol

Lindsay - I have been super busy at work...busy season yay lol My weekends have been starting on tuesdays....so I have not been doing much. How are you feeling?

 

[Pink gerbera]

Stinas - how exciting that its so soon!!

Never - I hope you stick around

Mrs C - The OB I've chosen is based in them being twin specialists so I recon you've made the right decision

Hope everyone has a great day

Pink xx

 

[bubumaci]

Stinas ... how exciting

I will try to get around to before and afters - have taken some during the progress. One of the funniest, was when the concrete was being poured for the conservatory ceiling (and for the garage). Huge truck out on the street and a trunk extending over the house, concrete shooting out of it.

Angie : please stay!! I feel like this is like a little family, close and tight-knit... it wouldn't be the same without you!

 

[Lindsay18]

So I freaked out a little this morning. I woke up and went to the bathroom and there was some brown spotting. My doctor told me I have a small subchorionic hematoma and that I might spot at times and not to panic but its a little hard not to. I'm going to text my nurse even though I don't go to my clinic anymore and see what she says. This really sucks especially because I have parent tracer conferences until 8pm tonight!!!

I wouldn't worry over it since your doctor did warn you I'm sure that is all it is. Others on here have had spotting in the first trimester as well and everything is fine. I totally understand your concerns though I think all of us will be worried throughout these pregnancies. I hope your day flys by.

 

[almosthere]

your fine Lindsay NO worries!!! =)

 

[GettingBroody]

I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about Lindsay but I can totally understand why you are My nurse said spitting is nothing to be concerned about as long as you're not having a lot of pains too. I've had a tiny bit more spotting every now and then but I'm not worried anymore. I do think it seems to coincide with when I do Kegels though!

 

[MoBaby]

Hey! So I received my protocol today!! Good news is if I haven't ovulated by today then I get to start provera to make me have af on time!! Yay!! Depending on my progesterone levels depends on when I start estrace. So I'm glad I'm not out of the game just yet!! I was worried b/c my opk still isn't pos and it's cd 20 so that's that!!

Lindsay: I'm sure spotting is fine esp if dr said th expect it. And it's brown which means old.

 

[jchic]

Stinas - GREAT news!!!! Fingers crossed for Saturday lady!
Mo - awesome that you got your protocol!

Linds - an SCH (subchronic hemotoma) is somewhat common in pregnancy. Up to 25% of women get them. They will resolve themselves most of the time on their own. Brown blood is ok with an SCH as its old blood from your cervix. As long as its not red, no issues. Usually the SCH can be irritated if you are doing too much like walking around, etc. I would try to sit alot at work and take it easy today. Its totally fine. I would call your obgyn and let her know so she can note your records, but its totally normal!
