Susi i went into labour about 5 hrs after eating a spicy curry! You never kno lol go easy unless ur ready to meet ur baby hehe x

 

[Blondiejay]

No spice for me, I fancy the butter chicken!!

We had our 38 week doctors appointment today, everything is looking good, baby is still 2/5ths engaged but measuring just over 37 weeks. Dad is here for one more night, it's been really nice having him here as he lives in Wales and I don't get to see him that often. Tomorrow I'll be painting a shelf for the nursery and putting my feet up!!

AFM, im on cd26. Took my BCP already. I dont have a clue why im up right now. Well, i've noticed that with these BCPs I have alot of energy and my libido is through the roof Also, the downfall is that I get loads of creamy cm throughout the whole day with them. Normally, i get creamy cm but then eventually it dries up. But ever since I've started the pills, the cm just never goes away. So i have to stay with a panty liner just in case. Also, so far no spotting or bleeding while taking the pills so I guess thats a good sign. Next week sunday will start week 2 on BCPs which is a huge milestone because when i was on BCP previously after the m/c, i couldnt even get through week 1 without deciding to stop taking them. AF is due in 9 days so lets see if i still have a bleed or the BCP will stop AF from arriving. Im hoping it stops AF from arriving because i dont want to have another AF while im on vacation. Well, im pretty much done packing finally So now its just time to wait for the 22nd to come so I can see my wonderful DH and we enjoy our 2 weeks together Also, later on this morning, Im going to help a friend exercise so im feeling pretty good about this. I finally can be a physical trainer to somebody I just want to thank the Navy though because they did work me out so now im stronger and more toned and I finally got my abs back It took alot of hard work but it worked although my abs like to disappear when I eat etc But now I got to keep myself in shape because weight gain is a symptom and I just dont want to let myself go because im on BCP and try to get back into shape once I stop them. Better now when I have the energy than later. Well, let me wrap this up because if I keep talking, I will have enough to write a book

 

[josephine3]

Wow patrice ur libido is even higher?! I didnt think it was possible

i have basically none at all since i gave birth

 

[mzswizz]

jo-i didnt think it was possible either...oh was i wrong

Hello ladies. Today is a lovely cool day and Im enjoying the weather as much as possible because I dont know when the next heat wave will hit. Today, im on cd27 and tomorrow ends the first week of BCPs I have only 5 MORE DAYS BEFORE I SEE DH Im over the moon happy right now about it. DH booked his tickets to come down here Dec. 20th-Jan. 6th. So he's going to be here for Xmas, my 23rd birthday, new years eve nand new years He said that for my birthday, he wanted to do a cruise to Hawaii I would love that but we shall see. Atleast now we got 5 months to vacation, enjoy and explore before we settle down and start back on the ttc wagon. I think this 6 month break is exactly what we need to save up more money, go vacation with just the two of us and get to have our "alone" time and enjoy being with each other. I think this is our mini vacation From what im getting...the BCPs will be out of my system in no time once i stop because the midwife told me to have sex every day with dh right starting from when i stop taking the BCPs because the best thing is to catch the 1st egg that comes after the BCPs. So im hoping it doesnt take long. Hoping that after these long 2 yrs of actively ttc, a 6 month break can solve all the problems and we get our LO finally. Its been a very long journey for us and im just ready to finally enjoy the blessing we've worked hard for. Now back to these BCPs...these little things cause ALOT of cm Dont know why..maybe because its preventing pregnancy so thats why I have no clue though. I should've ovulated by now though seeing that im on cd27 but then again you never know because of my crazy cycles. Hoping i can go back to the normal 28 day cycles I use to have but i guess thats wishful thinking Well, im all packed and ready to go to Connecticut. Finally got it done but atleast I dont have to worry about it now

Good morning ladies

Awww you must be so excited to see your DH Patrice!! I hope that the bcp works with regulating your cycles so that becoming pregnant will be easier


Hayley, Jo, Louise, hello_kitty... hows your LO?

Susi not long for you!!


AFM not much happening yesterday I got contact lenses! However I could NOT get one out last night I fought with my eye, finally my mom was able to get it out after like 3-4 tries... so now its all red and swollen, but I hope it settles down soon cause I would much rather wear contacts then glasses

Ohhh has anyone seen this video?
https://youtu.be/uxL3ZBVhxW8 (p.s its fake obviously but still funny)

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-hopes the sweeling goes down and that video was hilarious Also, i hope the BCPs work too. I have 5 more months before I can see if they actually worked. But in the back of my mind..I wanted to start ttc around February but I guess waiting 2 more months isnt going to kill me right.

AFM, cd29 today and just started week 2 of the birth control. 4 more days until I see DH I bought 2 dresses at the mall and Im going to take them with me along with my boots. I showed him the dresses and DH being DH said if i bring those dresses then im going to get pregnant while on birth control He is such a guy i tell you Today, going to hang with my friend and just relax. Yesterday, me and her went to the mall and then we went to see Twilight Enjoyed it!!!! Best movie ever!!! I want to see it again Let's see if the BCPs will give me a bleed. I seen that women were getting breakthrough bleeds etc but I havent gotten any bleeding so far so im assuming thats a good thing. Im hoping it doesnt jumpstart an AF too. Hoping i can enjoy my trip AF worry free.

 

[Blondiejay]

Hello ladies,
Patrice, wow 4 days that's come around quickly.
Love the video Ashley! Hope all is well with you and your eyes are feeling better.
No news this end, I've been having long lie in's which has come as a shocker as I'm usually a bit of an early bird. I'm getting as much sleep in as I can at the moment! Been bouncing on my ball and drinking raspberry tea too!

 

[mzswizz]

Susi-Hoping your LO will be here soon

 

[josephine3]

Hi ladies - my update is... I got my first period after having a baby and i forgot how much they hurt damn it

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - I remember the same thing happening to me when I first got my contacts. Now I'm so used to them that I even sleep with them on...I know its bad and it only happens when I'm very tired. Zachary is doing great. He is starting to bottle feed. His nurse told me that he was able to take 12 ml from the bottle at his 12 o clock feeding. I was very surprised because just 2 days ago, he was only taking 5 ml from the bottle. His dad tried feeding him from the bottle today but he was being a sleepy head and only took in 1 ml. Anyway, gottta give him some time since its only his 2nd day trying the bottle. The doctor said that if he does well with the bottle, he can come home in a week or a little less than 2 weeks. Hope he will continue to do well because I want him home so badly!

 

[Elise1984]

I'm not sure how I post a new thread on here, I'm a day late and have erect sore nipples for 4 days or so now. I've had 26-28 day cycles so am not sure if I should take a test now or wait. I never get sore nipples prior to period. Any thoughts?

 

[mzswizz]

jo-well happy you got your first AF but for the pain to go away.

hello_kitty-yay cant wait for you to be able to take Zachary home. He is one strong baby.

Elise-if you are a day late then you should test. What cycle day are you on?

 

[mzswizz]

Doctor's appt: Well my doctor's appt went very well actually. I got the results from my last visit. Also, I told her that I am now on BCPs. Well, my thyroid levels are perfect. BUT now we have another issue. Well, good thing is im not anemic (due to super havy bleeding during AFs). The issue is my platelet level is very high Normal range is 140-400 and mines is at 523 I asked her what is a platelet and she said that it is what controls the clotting in the blood. She said with my level being high...i would be able to get pregnant but wont be able to carry the pregnancy Which would explain alot now So she has requested I see a hematologist and let him do all the proper bloodwork so we can get the underlying problem fixed so by the time im off BC, i will be set and ready to go Did I say my doc was amazing or what So one step closer to our rainbow baby. Im happy that Im finalyl getting my answers but pissed the my former doctors didnt find out none of these issues in the past because they could've been solved by now.

 

[AC1987]

Susi you're almost at 40 weeks


Patrice, yikes!! Hopefully thats nothing serious.

AFM 2nd day of wearing contacts, had to give my eyes a break on Sunday. Now they're ok but took me an hour to get them in

Jo, so far I haven't had my period since Nov 2011

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-well she said it can be fixed..the only problem is that if it stays that high then i wouldnt be able to carry baby full term. so have to get that fixed asap.

i have an appt scheduled for dec. 5th @ 9am for the hematologist yay

 

[mzswizz]

how's everyone?

AFM, im cd31 today and tomorrow is my last day here before im on a plane to go see my DH Super excited. The time has finally come cant wait. And there will be loads of photos Today, im going to call the ob/gyn office to schedule an appt in December for my pap smear and ultrasound. I want to knock everything out the way at once. And I have my bloodwork so I can also give that to her to update her about the newfound information that I have received Im happy because now everything is getting in motion for a rainbow baby. Before (as you all experienced with me) I was going back and forth to the doctors and ended up with no information and nothing getting done. But now, ever since the FIRST day of my appt, I have been finding out things AND getting diagnosed Seems like it just goes to show that when a doctor cares about the patient..things will get done. And DH is happy that we are getting everything out the way also. Its a good thing Im on the BCPs because atleast now while we wait, I can get everything fixed and dont have to worry about not getting certain meds etc because I think its a possibility I am pregnant. And I rather have my body in great condition for baby or babies instead or trying on my own because im impatient and end up going through the heartache of another m/c. So I'm taking it slow. And I wonder once my ob/gyn sees the whole platelet issue that she might tell me i can get off BCPs sooner because they just thought that it would be the PCOS and my irregular cycles stopping me from conceiving We shall see. And omg 5 months and 1 week before I start ttc already?! With the doc appts and vacationing to see DH and everything...I think i will be back to TTC in no time.

 

[AC1987]

oh no Patrice, I just realized that I myself might wanna ttc in about 5 months from now I kinda miss being pregnant, but I feel its too soon just yet to be pregnant again. Also I would like my DH to get maternity insurance.
I'm glad things are looking good for you, its nice having a doctor who listens.
