light hearted ttc

[ricschick]

I'm beyond caring what other people think its your life so sod em! Xx

 

[hello_kitty]

Yea I just hate how some people think its all right for them to do something but when someone else follows in their footsteps, they start to freak out and judging. I mean, we are the ones raising our kids, putting a roof over their heads, feeding them, and giving birth to them so why should anyone else have a say?

 

[AC1987]

Patrice!! Where are you?? I'm anxiously waiting for test pics hahah 2 days til your bloodwork right?


AFM... 3 days til my next midwife appt... I can't believe in 2 days I will be 24 weeks 3 weeks til 3rd tri... yikes I don't feel ready, but then at the same time I cannot wait to meet my baby and to see family again

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - the second time around, does it feel like time flies faster? I remember the first time, it felt like an eternity and I read about my baby's development practically every day. This time, sometimes I forget that I am pregnant. I was getting the mail this morning and almost tripped due to carelessness and I thought to myself "oh wait, I am pregnant now, gotta be more careful". Plus Zachary is keeping me on my toes so not much time left to think about this baby...poor child.

 

[mzswizz]

awaiting to go in for bloodwork. haven't tested.

 

[AC1987]

Oh yea like ALOT faster! And more achier too sad to say... I have never felt so sore, so tired ever But if your DH can help you out that would be great.

 

[mzswizz]

Afm the only thing going on with me is my bbs well nipples are sensitive and sore and been that way for a few days now.

 

[hello_kitty]

Patrice - I guess that is a good sign. I never notice any change with any of my pregnancies.

Ashley - Is your dh helping you out? My dh helps me out sometimes with Zachary such as giving him a bottle, feeding him occasionally when I have to make a meal or something. Let's see if he's able to step it up a notch when I hit the uncomfortable 3rd tri and I REALLY need help once lo is born since I dont expect any help from my family. Btw, do you have anyone to help take care of Cassidy when you go into labor? Sadly I dont...so I have to come up with a way maybe hire someone to come to my place and look after him for awhile while I am giving birth. Lets see.

 

[AC1987]

aww Patrice try not to feel down I know ttcing is really hard when you have been trying a while but it is nice that you have doctors that seem to care now so best of luck!! When does your dh come back?


Lily, yes thankfully my mom is coming in march she wants to come before baby is born to buy us a carseat that we want
Mostly I get along good with her, I think the only thing that irks me is when she puts down breastfeeding and tells me I'm starving my babies brains by not feeding dha so I figure I'm just gonna try to get some people to get my back so I feel the support.
My dh doesn't help at all... he wants me to do everything still, I can't complain or I hear "you wanted it" and then if I say something is too heavy for me he tells me that its because I'm too weak and need to work out more. So I just quit asking him for help.
I'm a little annoyed at him, we got invited to a dinner my in laws are having the 19th, its not the Christmas party its just a dinner, and the Christmas family dinner is the 22nd, so they just tell us to stay from the 19th to the 22nd, and I am freaking out because he says yes without even asking me first and then so I wanted to cook and bake dishes to bring, like I know I can use the kitchen here, but she will also be cooking and baking so its gonna be really hard trying to work around her at the same time TRY to watch Cassidy, since NOTHING is baby proof here I hafta watch her like a hawk, like my mother in law had a candle lit on the FLOOR... and so like things like that I really hafta watch out for..
And I'm sad because last year my dh gave me money and dropped me off at the store to buy him a gift, this time he wont give me money and wont drop me off at a store so I can't get him anything. and I'm so upset because of it.

 

[ricschick]

Ac well if he's not gonna help you or give you any money I wouldn't feel bad about it! On sorry but he sounds like an arse!! I hope you can have a fairly relaxed few days at the inlaws!

Patrice your chart looks good!!! TEST!!!!!!! Xxx

How you feeling hello kitty? Xx

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley that is terrible! At least you get along with your mom and she will be helping when the time comes. I don't expect help from anyone and I am really scared if I go into labor again at midnight. I mean we would definitely have to wake up Zachary to come along with us. Thank god I am having a summer baby. Im already stressed out! I agree with Claire if your dh doesn't give you money that probably means he doesn't want/need a present.

Claire I am doing well. No morning sickness yet. Did you get any morning sickness? I get mild menstrual cramps on and off but it has been better these past few days. Zachary still wants to bf at night which ice freaking me out. Im trying to wean him but it difficult and I don't know if its gonna harm the baby.

 

[mzswizz]

well my temp took a nose dive today

 

[ricschick]

Oh sorry Patrice! Hopefully there is still a chance!!!

Ms hit me at 6weeks but it's on and off as long as I'm eating in fine lol, is there no family members or a friend you can ask? Or any of dh family? Xx

 

[AC1987]

aww well that doesn't necessarily mean af is coming right? Did you test at all or no?
Tomorrow is when they draw blood so will it show up for them if you are?

 

[AC1987]

Oh no Patrice I see you got AF... I'm sorry that's tough!! Do you know what will happen now? will you give clomid another chance or is it on to something else?


Lily, breastfeeding shouldn't cause any problems now that you're pregnant, as there are other women here who breastfeed and are pregnant, the only reason that made me wean Cassidy faster then I wanted to was the pain lOL it got SO painful and just uncomfortable.. so we were down to just a morning feed then, so I cut it out and she didn't seem to mind.

 

[ricschick]

sorry af came Patrice xxx

 

[magicwhisper]

sorry about af

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks ladies.

Ashley-I just realized the questions you asked, i already answered them in my update. I guess i think ahead and try to answer any questions you ladies have in advance

AFM, i am cd2 today. Last cycle wasnt successful. This cycle, I am going to take my prenatals, Clomid 50mg from cd5-9, follicle scan on cd12 and if i have proper size follicles (12mm or more), i will receive my trigger shot and then the next day, I will have the IUI procedure. This will be happening next Thursday and Friday. DH is coming home this Saturday so it all works out for us Hoping this cycle leads to a bfp because atleast we are one step closer in getting a bfp. So we shall see.

 

[ricschick]

sounds like a good plan Patrice I wish you the best of luck!!!

 

[mzswizz]

thanks ric!

AFM, im on cd3 and AF is very heavy. Dont know if its a good or bad thing but its heavier than normal. Im excited about this cycle and hoping that it works this time. Im hoping to end this year with a bfp so we shall see. Well thats all for now.
