light hearted ttc

[mzswizz]

well ladies im cd16 today and just came back from the doctor. I love the doc actually. She actually listened to me. So with that being said...i got prescriptions for skin treatment (that i been dealing with and trying to get rid of) and also for my knee pain. Plus, she gave me a referral list for ob/gyn and orthopedics She wants me to schedule an appt with an ob/gyn that works with hormonal therapy and also infertility because she wants me to be put on medications like Clomid etc but she said thats for the ob/gyn to decide but she thinks Clomid would be the best way to go Also, she did a blood draw for anemia since i have heavy bleeding during menstruation and also bloodwork to check my thyroids to make sure they are functioning properly So everything went pretty darn well and im moving forward now. I have another appt with her on Nov. 19th @ 11:45am so 3 days before I see DH So things are really moving. Also, she wants to do u/s to check the ovarian cysts and she was pretty pissed to hear I have ovarian cysts and my docs never scheduled a follow up on them because they said they were simple cysts and it would be no harm done. So im glad she cares so much Well thats all for me. Im going to take a nap because the bloodwork has me exhausted.

i called the referral ob/gyn and my appt is.....tomorrow @ 10:45am Didnt think i would be able to get in so fast.

fingers and toes crossed that everything will work out and will happen very soon for you

AFM, im cd17 today and I just came back from my ob/gyn. Well, actually it wasnt the one i initially picked..it was actually her partner BUT i fell in love I talked, she listened to everything and then we started getting the ball rolling. Well, I've found out that I have PCOS But at the same time, it would explain everything from the irregular bleeding, cycles etc. She said PCOS is when there are lots of immature cysts on the ovaries which looks like acne on the ovaries which is hindering from me ovulating and getting pregnant So with that being said..i am gettign an u/s in December because thats when I go in for my annual pap smear Even though at first I didnt think it was necessary...she has put me on BCP that i start on Sunday because she says she wants to give my ovaries rest because they are not working properly. So i have 7 months of bcp to use. And actually it is a good idea because at the same time, she is going to run proper tests to see whats going on with me. And she isnt worrying about treating me with any infertility drugs because she said she knows dh and I are fertile and healthy since we are able to conceive naturally on our own So thats a good sign. She said that after the 7 months...stop taking the bcp and have sex every day (which means back to normal routine ) so we can catc hthe first egg being released after the bcp. So now im going to go from super heavy 7 day periods to 1-2 day spotting periods Awesome for me because now we wont have to wait long to dtd And I already said i give it until our next weeding anniversary to conceive which is July 25th and when I stop taking BCP..it will be June 11th!!! Hmmm maybe its a sign that we will get a wedding gift Fxed!!! So now im happy and satisfied and now we are in the waiting process but at the same time its a good thing also because atleast DH and I will be properly settled in wherever he is stationed etc so everything is working out

 

[boxxey]

such great news i am so glad you are getting answers and i cant wait to hear your BFP update

 

[mzswizz]

i cant wait neither. If i can wait 2 yrs with no success...i can wait 7 months for a bfp

 

[josephine3]

Great to hear your appointments went well patrice! So pleased u are getting somewhere hope the wait goes fast for u!

 

[mzswizz]

thanks Jo!

 

[AC1987]

Thats great someone listened to you! And heres to hoping that you get that bfp in 7 months time!!


AFM... my teeth are killing me, my wisdom teeth have decided they want to come in so I've been getting alot of migraines... eww!

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - wow, no wonder she turned out beautiful!
Patrice- I hope you get your bfp too! Its going to be so exciting.

My milk finally came in, though not as much as I hoped. Only about 60 ml at each pump. I have an appointment with the postpartum people today so I will ask them about that. I have been so exhausted ever since I left the hospital. Been getting some errands done and running back and forth from hospital...and having to pump every 2-3 hours. I am 7 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight! Its all worth it though. I caught Zachary smiling yesterday in his sleep when daddy was holding him. Such a precious moment.

 

[mzswizz]

ashley-yes i am sooo happy. And who knows...maybe i will stop the bcp earlier than the 7 months

hello_kitty-thats great that your milk is finally coming in and aww for Zachary smiling.

AFM, im on cd18 and 4 more days until I start the BCP I am starting the folic acid now and going to wait until i get the month supply to keep taking it. By the way OBAMA WON I am sooooo happy. Today is a very good day and its nice and cool outside. Im going to spend time with the fam and talk to DH. Oh so today will be day 1 of folic acid and prenatals. Here we go on the journey.

 

[AC1987]

waaa why must my teeth be such a mess? So I have 5 caveties left to get filled all costing around $269 each AND my wisdom tooth needs pulling booo!!
Then my mouth was numb so afterwards we went out to eat dinner and my DH is like "So I'm guessing you can't feel your mouth still right?" apparently I had food all over my mouth

 

[Blondiejay]

Hi ladies,
Ouch Ashley, I had to have all my wisdom teeth out as they were so painful.
I finished work yesterday for maternity leave, I can't believe it's 2 weeks until my due date! I have written a list of things that need to be done before the baby is here as I don't feel quite ready just yet. Walking is a bit of a struggle now as baby feels really low but I manage. Looking forward to putting my feet up as much as I can next week. My dad is coming over for 2 nights to look after me.

 

[boxxey]

i had 6 teeth puled with only frezzing and i have 8 left to be pulled I had 4 babies in 6 yrs and it ruined my teeth next week i get my new ones lol my 8 yr old has ASD(autism spectrum disorder) he was crying asking me not to get fake ones poor fella i have a nasty headache today booooooooo hows everyone feeling

 

[josephine3]

Oh no sorry about the dentist ashley! We get free dental treatment over here until the baby is 1 i keep meaning to book an appt!

Has cassidy got to big for her moses basket yet? Georgia is fast outgrowing hers and im not sure how to make the transition to something bigger?

Patrice its all sounding like you're heading in the right direction!

Not long now susi oooh exciting hehe.

AFM, im on cd22 and i took my first BCP at 6:15am. So far, no side effects. The last time i took the 1st one, i felt sick to my stomach and exhausted etc but with this one..i feel sooo good. I have lots of energy, not sick to my stomach etc so thats good. 11 more days and im out of here Cant wait!!! So everything is going good and I seriously got to pack

Ashley-Cassidy is sooo adorable!!!

AFM, im on cd24 today and day 3 on the BCP. I must say I feel pretty darn good. I even did a 1.5 mile jog just now It felt pretty good to work out. I am starting back on the exercising just so if weight gain does happen..my body wont have a problem going back to my pre-BCP figure The only thing that happens with the BCP is that I get sharp pains in my ovaries that lasts around 30 mins-1 hour and then goes away but comes on and off throughout the day. I guess that means its doing what its suppose to do 8 more days left before i see DH Im super excited now!!

 

[Blondiejay]

Ashley, what a little cutie, adorable!!

Yay Patrice, you must be so excited.

No news here yet, enjoying my maternity leave! My dad is staying over for a couple of nights so I've given him a couple of jobs to do in the flat. Going for a curry tomorrow for a family meal although no spicy curries for me!!
