boxxey-happy bday to him.

AFM, im cd12 and my follicle scan went amazing. Pics are below. My follicles range from 20.2-23.6 As you can tell, i have multiple follicles this time so that increases our chances. My doc said they highly recommend doing the IUI and after speaking to DH and showing the u/s pics, he has agreed to do the iui So tomorrow, we will get the IUI. That's all for now.

Oh wow Patrice! That's great news!!!! Xxx

 

[mzswizz]

How is everyone?

AFM, im cd13 today and it started to snow here. When it snows, everything on the island is shutdown. So since the base is shutdown, im assuming the naval hospital is closed which means no IUI today. Just my luck right. One step closer to get pushed two steps back. Well even though we werent suppose to, dh and i dtd last night. It was more so an accident than planned. So now it looks like DH gets his timed intercourse wish just like he wanted. Oh well, i guess its time to sleep. There's nothing to do.

Happy bd to your son Christie!

Patrice I am so happy for you! Hopefully you will get your bfp with only one try using this method.

I had my first scan yesterday and baby was put back a week. Doctor said I probably ovulated late, I had a feeling I did too because we only dtd once last month on the 20th. If I ovulated on time there would be 0 chance of me getting pregnant. So I will remain a sweet pea for another 5 days. On the bright side, baby had a heart beat. I will come in for another scan in 3 weeks right after new year's.

I had an appointment at 3:30 yesterday but when we got there the place was crowded and my doctor's schedule was backed up. We still couldnt get in by 4:10 and my husband was getting late for work. I asked if I could drive him to work and then come back in 15-20 minutes and they told me to come right back and they would just let others go first. So it ended up taking me almost 40 minutes to get back because of the heavy traffic. I came back right when they closed and were having a christmas party but my doctor still sent me back and gave me the scan. Although it wasnt my fault in the first place, it was still a nice gesture. My husband initially told me to reschedule but I was determined to see my baby before christmas. Glad I went through with it, it was well worth the trip.

awh im glad you saw a heartbeat

 

[AC1987]

so glad there are other pregnant women here again!!

AFM I dunno if I will hafta cancel my next appt or what... my DH starts a new job on the 6th, and he can't very well not show up the next day.. and I'm unsure if he even has the option of working from home

At the in laws... so tired.

 

[mzswizz]

Well since we cant do the IUI today, DH and I dtd yesterday and dtd today and will continue to dtd 1-2 times a day until ov has been confirmed

 

[AC1987]

I think that's your best bet since you can't iui this month

 

[magicwhisper]

i am so confused with car seats and prams right now

we cant afford expensive but is cheep just as good?
car seat wise i know they all have to pass the same safety tests though

Thanks ashley!

Magic-from ny knowledge of car seats etc. my sister and even my mom always went with the cheaper car seats and they work just the same. The price goes up because of the brand name. My sister has car seats for her LOs that she got for a cheap price and they are still durable and safe and her LOs are 2 and 3 years old. Hope that helped.

AFM, im cd14 today and i think i o'd yesterday. I was feeling very nauseous, irritated and had on and off mild cramping. Never felt this way before but i remember my friend was telling me thats how she felt when she ovulated and so i was thinking hmm maybe thats what im going through. DH and I dtd 3 times yesterday. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. My temp went up but not really significant difference. My dh told me i felt hot this morning which im assuming is caused by the trigger shot. When dh comes home, im going to dtd again today to cover my bases. If i havent o'd yet, then i should ov no later than today. So we shall see. Just hoping this time it happens.

 

[magicwhisper]

fingers crossed!

ive decided to go to toys r us with a price limit and see what the say

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks magic and good luck at toys r us

 

[hello_kitty]

Patrice I also had those symptoms around the time I ovulated. Hope this is it for you and you won't have to get the iui after all.

Zoey I think all car seats are the same just that some are expensive because of its popularity

Somehow it feels like my belly is bigger this time around maybe I'm just bloated but my do noticed.

 

[mzswizz]

Kitty-thanks i hope i dont need the iui after all neither. It would be awesome to conceive with timed intercourse. Its funny necause after we dtd, dh has been holding my legs up and said lay here for 15 mins and its super funny to me. Now about your belly getting bigger, ive heRd that once you have a child that the next time around your body grows faster because it already knows what to do. My sister was small when she was pregnant with my niece and by the 2nd pregnancy, her belly grew fast in the first trimester.

 

[ricschick]

Patrice I believe things happen for a reason you def have a good chance this cycle!!! Fx

Magic I think the argos deal is good! I had a graco with my first daughter thought is was fine and does the job!! Car seats all have to meet the same standards!

Afm il be glad once I hit 12 weeks I'm a little sick of feeling like shit lol and il be glad of some energy! I have a very visible bump too! X

 

[hello_kitty]

Only 6wks3d although it still feels like time is going by slowly its still faster than when I was pregnant with Zachary. OMG, with Zachary it just dragged and dragged...maybe because it was my first time being pregnant. Last time I wanted him so badly that I used all the methods out there like charting, temping and I got it confirmed the first minute I was pregnant, barely 4 weeks. This time I didnt get it confirmed until I was past 6 weeks. I dont know why but I feel like its kinda unfair to this baby. I mean I love him/her but there's just not that bond I had with Zachary. I remember being excited every single day last time to the point I couldnt sleep at times and couldnt get anything done...this time I'm just cruising by. I havent even talked to my "bump" yet. The joy of spending time with Zachary makes me forget about the baby sometimes.

 

[mzswizz]

rics-I feel the same way. I have my fxed this cycle.

kitty-Dont feel down or feel like you are neglecting your future LO. The first pregnancy would always be the most memorable one. I think once you have your first child, you become a professional so you know what to do already and therefore you dont stress as much as if it was your first child. You already know what to do, what signs to look for, where to go etc. So its just now you became super mom and just dont stress with anything because you know everything is fine. I think once you start feeling the baby move..you'll be as excited all over again.

Wow patrice u sure do find time to fit in a lot of bd! Hope it pays off!

Magic - car seats and pushchairs are so confusing! The first car seat can only last till age 1ish anyway unless u get erf or a convertible one. Iv also found mothercare is better they do a price match so if u see it cheaper at toys r us they will price match for u and also help u fit it, wheras toys r us dont have the license to fit it. My new carseat iis a 'first class' its suitable from birth right till 4 and was only £100.

Im definitely showing much more this time round. Im sooo achey too. And so tired. Im also not enjoying or bonding so well this pregnancy tbh. I just wasnt ready. Im trying to remind myself to enjoy it more. And that it wont last forever!

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-its usually evening time and dh off days that allow us to really bd as much.

AFM, im cd15 today and instead of my temp increasing, my temp dropped. I dont know if i am o'ing today or what. I was suppose to ov no later than yesterday (36 hours). If my temp doesnt go up tomorrow, i will be calling the docs to let them know that i think i didnt ovulate so they can probably do a scan and check to see if i o'd or not already. But based on the temps, i havent o'd yet which is pretty nerve wrecking. Hoping something happens this cycle because it seems like this cycle is cometely out of whack and everything is getting messed up. So we shall see what tomorrow holds.

I went to the dollar store and bought opks and this is the result...definitely positive.
