Patrice I hope the IUI works!!


AFM... finally the cold snap seems to have ended... gonna go to the store and pick up things we need like chocolate cake mix

I recently started cassidy on potty training... just sitting her on it to get her used to it... omg SO CLOSE!! I had her on it while running the bath. I stop the bath.. and she runs to the bathtub, and as soon as I place her in it she stands there peeing... AHH! LOL!!

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-LOL thats funny about Cassidy. My friend is also potty training her son and its funny because he did the same thing to her

Im on cd6 today and earlier today, DH and I dropped off his sample for his SA. It was a success because we didnt have to come back they said everything was fine and we were good to go. Now, I just have to call my doc to let them know that DH turned in his sample for his SA and to see if i have to schedule my cd12 follicle scan. Usually, I just walk in but if they have an opening available on the 15th, I will just schedule. All in all, so far so good. Cant wait for DH's results. Also, this is my 2nd day on Clomid and already im starting to have slight cramping so im hoping its because there are follicles growing in there. Can't wait to see what's going to happen this cycle. Fxed, hoping and praying for the best.

 

[ricschick]

sounds like you have everything under control Patrice!! fx!!!!

we had our scan and everything looks perfect!! baby measuring 11+5 so only a day difference! everything looked great and she even said we make lovely babies

 

[mzswizz]

[magicwhisper]

im glad everything is ok

 

[AC1987]

aww so cute!

ok so almost 8 weeks til I'm "full term" and 11 weeks til my due date... trying not to freak out.. but ahhh I'm getting those I'm not ready feelings... even though I know we're almost set for when the baby comes.. I just need to buy some diapers
Next month is when I plan to really try to get ready

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-your due date is coming up really fast ahhh. I think you'll be ready though

Im cd7 today and it seems like ever since i started Clomid, my cycle has been flying by which is a good thing . Our plan of action this cycle is preseed and dtd on cd11, cd12 scan and trigger shot (no sex), cd13 iui and dtd with preseed afterwards. So therefore our bases are covered for before and after trigger shot. im hoping it really works this time but we shall see when the time comes. Hoping im ending this month with a bfp. Our anniversary is coming up. It will mark 8 years we have been together on february 18th and on july 25th, it will mark 5 years we have been married. Time really does fly. But unfortunately dh will not be here to experience neither with me. But im going to make the best out of it.

 

[ricschick]

ahh its a shame he wont be here with you!! it must be very hard patric but hopefully you will have your handful with being pregnant!! and preparing for baby xxx

 

[AC1987]

I'm sorry your DH won't be able to celebrate any of the anniversaries with you Your cycles seems to be flying by for me too... I know that sounds really odd
I REALLY hope this gets you pregnant!!

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks ladies and im hoping i get pregnant this cycle too

 

[josephine3]

Hi ladies sorry i havent gotten round to posting for ages i seem to have been so busy! Im 18 weeks already and time is flying by. I had a consultant appt last week to see if i would still be suiitable for vaginal delivery after my tear last time, which the doc thinks i am cos iv had no problems since so thats good
she also said they'd put a canula in place during labour ready to give me iv meds incase i lose blood again so i dont pass out.

On the bad side my oh lost his job had a small crash in his lorry! He is fine and no-one was involved but hes been sacked so that sucks he can get agency work but its not so secure.
Ashley - i have this problem with georgia every night! She can be in the bath and she sats 'wee wee' and points at the potty, so i get her out the bath and sit her on it, she will sit there agggeess and play, then the second i put her back in the bath she wees ahhhh so annoying!!

 

[AC1987]

Jo, awww I'm sorry to hear about your Dh! whats a lorry?
Also yea potty training can get a little annoying, right now I'm just trying to get her used to sitting on it more then anything though her attentionn span for that is so short.


I am finding it very exhausting with her now that I'm in 3rd tri... counting down til when my mom comes

 

[ricschick]

Wow 18weeks already! Time has gone quickly! Sorry about your dh job I hope he finds something soon! Good. News about the delivery too!

 

[hello_kitty]

Sorry about your dh jo. At least you ladies get to start potty training. My lo doesn't even know how to walk yet. I guess being a preemie plays a role.

My house is currently a mess. Both dh and I have been too lazy to maintain the place. I don't know when was the last time we vacuumed. I'm not good at house keeping and dh knows that so usually he's the one who does the major tasks like vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms sweeping etc I just maintain the kitchen area. But I decided to take matters into my own hands today and get the job done. How long does it take you ladies to make a house sparkling clean? I think it's going to take me 3-4 hours at least. I still have hw to do and a mountain of laundry to fold (sigh)

 

[josephine3]

Lol a lorry is a truck! A hgv!

Oh it takes me days to clean from top to bottom lol it never gets done at all anyways. Wish my oh wud do a bit more tbh tho. He's been off all week now and hasnt hoovered or washed up once. Grrr...

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-hope things get better for your DH and wow 18 weeks time is flying by thats for sure. my dh is the same way...when he is off or on leave im still stuck with cleaning and he just sits and watch tv or play vid games with his friends and the only time he cleans is when people are coming over

ashley-your pregnancy is flying by as well also.

kitty-it usually takes me around the same time or maybe a few days because i dont want to overload on the cleaning.

im cd8 today and tomorrow is the last day I take the Clomid pill. Im anxious to try the preseed and to do the whole IUI procedure. I've realized that the prenatal vitamins is really helping my cm. Also, i have been drinking more water. Im trying to increase the chances of conceiving as much as possible this cycle. Im hoping this cycle is the cycle we conceive. The time is going by quickly but at the same time it reminds me that DH is getting closer to his deployment date. To keep me occupied, my friends are flying in around march so they can hang out for awhile while dh is away. So atleast I will have my old friends here even if im pregnant. So we shall see what happens this cycle.

 

[hello_kitty]

So far today I have only managed to put Zachary down for a nap and load some dishes. I know I should take advantage of the time that Zachary's napping and go cook but I am pretty upset right now. My family is soooo unsupportive. Especially my biological mom who hasnt really done much for me and now she is mocking me. My adopted mom called today and asked me if I'm considering getting my tubes tied after this one. I was utterly shocked. Why does it matter to her how many kids I have? She's never done anything for zachary and I have never relied on my family in any way ever since I was 18.

I decided to take a break from school to have kids and as a result I am still working on my bachelors degree when I should've been done with it last year. My biological mom keeps mocking me over it and she's like "you know, if you would've worked harder you would've been done with your bachelors by now". Seriously, she had no idea, or maybe she did but turned a blind eye, on how much I struggled to get through college ever since I was 18. I had to get a full time job to support myself and going to college full time at the same time also. I wasnt a smooth ride. I'm still trying to get through my classes now, and she should be proud of me for going through with it instead of mocking me any time she wants. She never raised me any day of my life anyways.

When Zachary is being fussy she would say "how are you going to handle 2 when the other one is born?"

My family just brings unnecessary stress into my life. After I got off the phone with them I texted my dh about how upset I am and he called me right away to ask me whats wrong. I started crying and he told me to just avoid them and dont call them if its not necessary.

I just dont understand why they like getting into my business when they have no part in it especially when they where never there for me when I was pregnant or after.

 

[ricschick]

Ahh kitty I'm sorry your upset! Mothers can be such hard work and you have 2 to contend with! I would just point out that its your life and you will do as you please seeing as you are a grown women with a loving husband and beautiful family. Try not to let them upset you and just concentrate on you baby and your little family. Xxxx

 

[mzswizz]

Dont let them get to you kitty. My mom is the same exact way. I dont communicate with my mom really because she is always asking when im going to be dobe with school, when am i having kids etc. just like you, i struggled through life financially. But what dont kill us makes us stronger.
