Jo-Im on cd31 today

AFM, im cd31 today. And I had my doc apt which went well but got bad news. Well I found out that the bulge is a hernia and I have to have surgery Also, they were saying that they wouldn't recommend me doing the surgery while pregnant because it can lead to miscarriage So right now I got to wait and see when my surgery will be scheduled. Also, she wants me to start taking prenatal vitamins asap which she prescribed me. She does want me to start trying asap but of course once they figure out the whole surgery thing. So now I might just go back on the bc until the surgery because I don't want to have to end up with a miscarriage but I don't know yet because there is a possibility where it wont cause a miscarriage. Plus, its just a small incision and where the hernia is located...it shouldn't affect a pregnancy if I did end up pregnant. But we shall see.

Hi Jo, yes a couple weeks ago she just got up and started walking! pretty crazy eh? I was shocked. Now she walks everywhere! And tries to run but face plants a lot of the time
I feel so emotional when I think about how fast shes growing.. it just doesn't seem right, even though it is, I keep asking myself "What happened to my tiny newborn?"

hello kitty, I can't remember your name, was it lily? and Wow!! 8 months? yikes! Time sure flies...

Patrice, oh no!! that's scary! Surgery scares me.. do update us with when the date is!!

AFM, yesterday we were at a furniture photoshoot, I had contacted the photographers to take photos of Cassidy. And they asked me if me and Cassidy would be willing to take a part in being models for furniture store, and it paid! So of course I said yes, since the price they paid will pretty much cover getting her photos done later this month. it was pretty easy, as it wasn't really posed much, it was more like we were in the background, like me playing with her on the floor or pretending to pick her up from a nap.

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-Glad you had fun on your photoshoot!
AFM, I am cd32 and only 3 days away from my normal AF cycle. After much brainstorming and talking to DH. He wants to continue ttc. We know that I wont get the surgery until next year or so and by then we are hoping to atleast have one child. The doc also gave me the go ahead as scheduling for the surgery is going to "take time" and her husband is the only surgeon in the hospital. So now DH is really on board on trying to have kids. Kids are now his first priority and he also is thinking about getting his sperm count checked to see if he is okay I asked him what about the deployment etc and he said forget every excuse that he had and we are just going to just do it Now I did start taking birth control yesterday and today because I thought he wouldn't want to try so he told me to stop taking the pills and we are just going to try. So im going to start temping..even though it is late in my cycle to do so. Im just going to temp until AF shows. If she shows which im hoping she's not. I don't think my body has fully adjusted yet because my nipples are still sensitive. Oh well we shall see whats in store for us. I started taking the prenatals today

 

[josephine3]

Wow patrice what a rollercoaster! Hope the hernia surgery doesnt get in the way of ttc too much! x

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks Jo! Im scheduled tomorrow to speak with the doctor to schedule the surgery.

 

[AC1987]

Blah... my LO has turned into such a picky eater, and is hardly letting me eat as I don't know what to do with her so I can eat, she HATES being confined so if shes in her highchair I usually hafta give her something to eat so she will be quiet. Only lately its whining non stop in her highchair so I can't get a minutes peace.. and GAH I'm hungry.

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley, I wish I didnt have time to eat! Lately since summer started, it seems like all I ever do is take naps with Zachary and eating while he's keeping himself occupied either in his play station thing or rolling around in bed. I am gaining massive weight and keep telling myself I need to go to the gym. I gained back 10 lbs in 8 months. ughhh, and yes my name is lily

Patrice - I hope your surgery goes well!

 

[mzswizz]

That's sounds like my niece and nephew. Its something about being confined that baies don't like. Why I don't know. Hope everything gets better for you.

AFM, today I am cd33 and AF is still a no show. The general surgery office called me this morning and I am scheduled to get a consultation tomorrow at 10:30am. They will explain the procedure etc and schedule a surgery date. I have talked to my manager at my job about it and she said that I will be out for 6-8 weeks with that kind of surgery. Good..I need a break from that job Also, my dad was saying that I will get pregnant right after the surgery because that's what happened to my mom. My mom had surgery for a hernia and ended up conceiving my sister. Im hoping he is right. Maybe this surgery will give my body enough time to adjust and relax before we can start trying. And dh does want to try and doesn't care about his deployment anymore. As a matter of fact, the deployment will be perfect because he will be able to provide enough for me to manage with a baby while he is away Im pretty sure everything will be fine. This will be my first ever surgery so atleast if I ever do get pregnant, I don't have to freak out about a C-section because I will have had this surgery prior So all in all everything works out.

 

[hello_kitty]

Patrice, I sure hope your dad is right about you falling pregnant after the surgery...I feel so excited for you just thinkign about it!

So I have been having af cramps all day but havent been having any af in the last 8 months. Somehow it feels like history and that I will never get af anymore =(

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks and I hope he is right too. I cant wait to ttc after I recover from the surgery (whenever I have it). And hope you start getting AF soon

 

[AC1987]

Lily, are you still breastfeeding? I've heard that can delay af.. though it didn't happen with me darn it lol! or are you on any birth control?


Patrice I hope that the surgery will be minor and not too major


AFM sleeeeppyyyy Cassidy didn't sleep well last night and my DH was making any excuse to keep her up grr.. well I also had a migraine too. He picked her up instead of just patting her back, and then started talking to her, and turned the lights on to then started asking me if she needed oral gel, then asked if she needed gripe water, so I finally took over and had her sleeping in 5 mins.

 

[mzswizz]

Asley-Thanks the surgery is minor..I can go home the same day of the surgery

AFM, im on cd34 today and still no AF yet. Well today I went to the speak with the surgeon and my surgery is scheduled for the 16th so in 4 days Im happy that it's soon but then again..I am a little nervous seeing this is my first surgery ever. But im sure everything will be fine. Well that's all I have for now.

 

[Blondiejay]

Patrice, I hope your surgery goes smoothly.
We were in Ireland for 2 weeks, Darcy was an absolute angel. My OH and I were at a wedding for 3 nights and left Darcy with my OH's mum. I really thought it would be really hard leaving Darcy but it was really nice having a break.
Since we were there Darcy has learnt to sit up on her own!! She's growing up so fast, I can't believe she is 7 months already!!

 

[mzswizz]

wow 7 months!! That's fast!

AFM, im cd36 today and still no sign of AF. I know im not pregnant though because I took a test and it came back negative so im pretty sure its just my body finally being back to normal. They said it only takes a few days for the pill to exit my body so it should be gone by now. I have my pre-op appt. tomorrow morning and then its the surgery on Tuesday. Im ready for this to be done because I've read good reviews of being able to get pregnant after getting the hernia surgery so im hoping this is what has exactly been stopping me so that when its fixed...I can finally conceive but only time will tell.

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - Yeah, I am still bf, and give him an occasional bottle when we are out. I am not on any birth control right now. Somehow, having af feels like history to me. I actually miss having it. My husband really wants to go to Canada in late august/early september. This will be Zachary's second trip this year! Zachary doesnt know how to sit on his own yet, but is always in the crawling position.

 

[AC1987]

Lily, so it could be you're one of those lucky people whose period stops when you're bfing, how I wish that happened to me! I swear I didn't go hardly a MONTH without atleast spotting
Awww I wish I could go to Canada again, I miss my family!! Its hard being away from them it feels like that they miss so much of Cassidy's first year.


Patrice, wow seems so soon, that's like tomorrow.. I'll keep you in my prayers and wish you a speedy recovery!


Susi, wow.. 7 months already, yikes what are happening to our babies? they're growing up so fast!!

AFM, I'm having a hard time believing Cassidy was the same baby we brought home from the hospital, SO much has changed this year its unbelievable! 18 days til shes 1 year old!
Not much happening with me aside from the garden, we made homemade pizza yesterday, I made the dough, and the sauce I used the tomatoes from our garden

 

[mzswizz]

Wow time is flying for your kids I see ladies!

AFM, today was my last day of work before I am away for 6 weeks. Tomorrow, I go in for surgery at 6:30am. Glad I will have DH there with me. This morning will using the bathroom, I think I seen pinkish spotting but not sure because the lighting here sucks and plays with your eyes so it could've been normal. But at work I thought it looked a little pink also but once again I wasn't sure because the second wipe was clear so who knows. I suppose to take a pregnancy test with them tomorrow but if it was anyway possible that I ended up pregnant right now and I just implanted and that was IB then it wouldn't come up on a test. But im not sure as of right now if it was pink or not. Just got to wait it out today and see if I see it again. Also, I have been getting cramps around my right ovary side...maybe ov who knows. Just want to wait until AF arrives to start temping etc since im already 37 days into my cycle. Im a little nervous about tomorrow but I mean who wouldn't be once they hear surgery. I cant wait to come back home tomorrow so I can relax and recovery. To me, this is one step closer to getting my bfp. The nurse told me I could start having intercourse unprotected (I told her we want to get pregnant) around 2 weeks after surgery without causing any harm. But I think I will wait a little longer. Hoping DH can though So excited btu nervous about tomorrow.

 

[AC1987]

Awww good luck during surgery Patrice!!


AFM, wow its gonna be hot here today!! I really wanna go swimming

 

[AC1987]
