ashley-im doing fine just thinking of sweets to eat now that you brought up having a slice of cake

Cant believe already I am 5dpo/dpiui. Time is just ticking away. I have been having the worst pressure in my uterus and nausea since yesterday. Not putting it to be pregnancy related because im only 5dpo/dpiui. In 5 more days i get to test so the countdown is getting shorter in days Nothing else to report. Oh and i start my school work again tomorrow because my coding handbook should be delivered by tomorrow Finally, I will be able to focus on something other than the tww.

Is the IUI more for people where the women's.... insides kill the sperm off before it gets its way to the egg?

The cake looks delicious. Also yes IUI and IVF are for women whos insides kills of the sperm before it reaches the uterus. It is to help the distance to not be that challenging.

 

[hello_kitty]

Patrice - time sure flies, before you know it, its gonna be testing time! I am waiting with you. Hopefully we get some good news!

Ashley that looks so good! Did you make that? My appetite has been wacky lately. Went grocery shopping this morning and bought a whole bunch of sweets but by the time I got home didnt feel like eating anything.

I hate being overweight and pregnant. It makes me feel like a whale. After having Zachary, I swore to lose all the weight by the time of my second pregnancy and I had a year to do it but the weight never came off. I always spent down time playing/napping with him. Ughh. Being pregnant is hard enough and now my self esteem is down the drain. Other women looks so cute pregnant and can actually pull off maternity clothes I just look horrible it sucks.

 

[mzswizz]

kitty-i think you look amazingly gorgeous pregnant. I wouldnt worry about how other women look while pregnant because every woman looks different. So i would say enjoy your pregnancy while you can And yes i cant wait to test.

 

[AC1987]

Yes I made the cake
I followed this recipe

Of course mine isn't pretty but it sure is yummy!!

Lily, its hard when you think other people look better in some clothes, hey I have a bad body image of myself from time to time, I would love to be able to pack on some pounds so I don't hear comments about how I'm a stick, etc I am getting better about it though.

Patrice, you have a week til you test right?

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley- i test on monday so 5 more days

Im 6dpo/dpiui today. I woke up feeling horrible. My nose was stuffy, i felt like i was burning up and when i took my temp orally, it was 98.1, and also i felt very nauseous. I dont know what was going on when i first woke up. I also have a headache. The feeling of being hot went away but i still feel nauseous really bad. My uterus stills feels sore/pressure. When dh and i dtd yesterday, it hurt in certain positions. DH says that the inside felt like i would be spotting soon. He said it had the lining shedding feeling. And every time he felt my insides change, i always knew that AF wasnt far because thats the same texture he can feel becore AF actually shows. But when i told him i was only 5dpo/dpiui, he told me then it cant be AF because its too early. Well atleast he does listen to me when i talk cycles etc with him. As far as spotting goes, i havent had any spotting. Just my uterus/lower abdominal area feels sore to the touch. Dont know what causes that. But cant believe im pretty much halfway through the tww wait already I suppose to get my school textbook today so atleast that will keep me occupied until i test on the 27th. Ive decided to just stick with my original plan and test on the 27th and the 30th. We should see how it goes. Its only 5 more days til testing. Atleast thats better than 10 or more days to testing. So patiently awaiting a bfp. Fxed this is the cycle.

 

[AC1987]

wow your DH really doesn't mind all that stuff?
Do you feel nervous about testing?


AFM, I still haven't cancelled my appt for the 31st... my DH says hes waiting for them to mail him the breakdown of the bill before he makes any decisions.. and I am unsure what to do. I mean I have some questions for the midwife.. only I know I won't be able to cancel it last minute at the same time I don't want him upset if I don't...

 

[mzswizz]

I actually do feel nervous about testing because i dont want to test to early and the trigger gives me a false positive but at the same time time, i dont want to see a bfn. And well you have 9 days before the 31st appt. Hopefully, you will get the letter within a few days. If anything i would just push the appt back a few days to give your dh time to see the breakdown of the bill. atleast then you will have an appt and if he says you can go forward with the appt, you will still have your appt.

 

[AC1987]

thanks, yeah I figure I'll give it to friday, if nothing has come in the mail by then, I will schedule my appt the 1st week of feb, and then hopefully between now and the end of the month we can get something sorted. I wish he'd just talk to someone over the phone about it, but he says he is waiting to see if they'll mail out a breakdown of the bill first.

DH and I were talking last night, the only thing we can think that makes sense is that they might have combined all the bills together and come up with that amount.
I was going over all the bills from last pregnancy, and the 1st appt bill was only like $200 so it doesnt really make sense for it to go up $900 in just a year.

 

[mzswizz]

i was just thinking that maybe its all the combined bills because the pricing shouldnt change.

 

[magicwhisper]

i wish i could help with that is seems confusing ... surley they cant charge for stuff you havent had done yet

v day

starting to get backache when i stand up/ walk for a whike.

makes me feel like a old woman

 

[AC1987]

omg zoey 24 weeks already?!?! where has the time gone?! you'll soon be joining me in third tri


I'm getting so uncomfy now.

 

[hello_kitty]

I am going to be 12 weeks this friday...it does feel like time is going by faster this time around than it did with Zachary but still not fast enough.

My nt scan is a week away. Now that is fast. Tomorrow dh will be going to the hospital to get his blood drawn to check for the hemoglobin e trait.

Dh has been taking over for his co worker who is on vacation since Monday til the end of the month which means he has to work from 11 am. He usually works from thursday - sunday which enables me to start work from 8 am - 12 pm. Since he had to sub for the guy, I also had to adjust my schedule to coordinate his so I have been working from 6 am - 10 am since Tuesday. I was soo tired on Monday that I took the day off. The upside is that I get done before Zachary is awake and somehow it feels like time flies with that shift, but the downside I feel like a zombie due to lack of sleep. I have been going to sleep at 1 am sometimes over 2 am so I get only about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. Im gonna try and sleep a little earlier tonight.

Hi ladies sorry I havent posted in a while! hope you're all well and this 2ww is flying for u patrice! Is this a natural or iui cycle?
Well we just found out the gender.. and ... its... a BOY! im a litttle suprised as me and the oh have both been acting and talking like its another girl but oh well! I had better get my head around it! Ashley do u know what you're having? I cant believe Im 20 weeks already time is really flying by...

 

[AC1987]

Jo, no I'm team yellow again, I like it that way... the surprise is awesome! I have a feeling its a boy.. I don't know why just a feeling, but then I was SO convinced Cassidy was gonna be a boy and was shocked that she was a girl
I can't believe you're 20 weeks already either!
EEkk I'm having a hard time with the fact that I'm 30 weeks already!

 

[mzswizz]

Kitty-hope you can get some rest!!

Jo-wow 20 weeks already?! Convrats on your boy. Now you have one of each! And this cycle was the iui cycle.

Ashley-soon your LO will be here!! Excited!!

Im finally halfway through my cycle at 7dpo/7dpiui today well, i have been back to doing my school work since last night and i must say that this school work is definitely going to pass the time of my cycle. I woke up with a headache and a toothache. And some dull cramping around my left ovary side but other than that nothing major. Well thats all i have as an update for right now.

 

[ricschick]

time is flying Patrice!! fx

congratulations jose!!! little boys are lovely to have!!!

ac I hope you get to go your apt! xx

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks rics! How is everything?

 

[AC1987]

I mentioned to my mom about how I might postpone my appt and she freaked out she is all like saying how my DH can't put mine and the babies health at risk while he is sorting out the bill, because I will obviously need to be seen.
So now I still am unsure what to do..
I figure I will give it to this weekend, because my in laws were planning to drive me to it... so I'm sure they will ask and then I will go from there.. just hoping it won't be all awkward.
