Congrats Bethany and Rachel!!!

Happy Birthday Natalie!! Have fun on your trip!

Caroline - I also thought you were supposed to fast before the test. A bowl of cereal 30 minutes before would definitely affect your blood sugar levels...you would have had the blood drawn just after peak glucose levels for that cereal! I bet you'll pass the next one for sure and this was a fluke b/c of the cereal. Good luck!

I'm doing well...just slowly cruising along here, waiting for the gender ultrasound on Tuesday . Sometimes I still don't feel pregnant. I haven't felt the baby move or anything, and I'm still in normal clothes (probably not for long though). Hopefully I'll start connecting with this avocado soon!

Caroline- I know I will sound like a hypocrit because I was freaking out for a week before I got to take the 3 hour gtt but honestly I think the cereal was what did it for you. And I know a lot of people who failed the one hour and passed the 3 hour. I was really worried because my dr had me do a 2 hour to start not a 1 hour and I was fasting and still failed. If I would have failed the one hour I wouldn't have been as worried especially if I ate before it. Even after taking the three hour I still failed the 2 hour blood draw by 10 points but as long as you pass 3 of 4 it is considered normal. Just make sure you fast for the three hour and bring a book or magazine because it is long and boring but you will get through it and I am really confident you will pass with no problems.

Dee- I am so excited for you to find out what you are having! Once I found out it really made it more real and I was able to bond more. And of course once you start to feel the baby you will really bond, it is amazing and I can never get enough of feeling her move a lot of first pregnancies won't feel movement until after 20 weeks. I have an anterior placenta so I didn't feel major movement until after 23 weeks but if I really paid attention once or twice a day starting around 17 or 18 weeks I felt a slight movement but it totally could have been mistaken for something else because it was so mild.

Katya- good luck with the new meds I hope it helps you loose additional weight

Bex- how did you appt go?

 

[bnporter81]

Caroline, I agree with the others and I bet the cereal did make a BIG difference. I bet everything will be fine when you get the next test done

Thanks, Dee, I'm so excited to have finally O'd after more than 3 monthsI just hope it continues!I didn't feel movement with any of my kids until about 19 weeks. I know you'll feel he/she move soon and everything will feel so much more real to you thenCan't wait to hear what you're having!

Bex, how are you doing? We haven't heard from you lately

 

[mrsc81]

Cant wait to find out what your having Dee
Part of me thinks we will all be having girls , Lil included as obviously she is team yellow.

My second diabetes test went fine, no results yet though. So the first one, at 27 weeks, I had breakfast before it, and I passed. This one, I didn't have breakfast and I actually asked them and they said for the one hour test breakfast is fine. But if you do the 2 or 3 hour test, you have to be fasting. So I guess I will get results on Monday.

Caroline, so many people do actually get diabetes during pregnancy, try not to worry as it is completely controllable. After everything we all tried and did to get pregnant in the first place, I am sure we can all handle diabetes if it is thrown at us

Congrats on ovulating Bethany, hope your cycles get on track now

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls, just an update from me...I had a slight dip yesterday (6do) and now this morning my temp. shot up to 98.5 which is the highest it's ever been in the last year or so of my charting! I really hope it ends up being a good sign

 

[NewMrs2011]

Looking good so far! Good luck, we are due a BFP in here soon!

 

[Rachel789]

Bethany your chart looks really good so far! : happydance:

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck Bethany!

 

[rmsh1]

Ohhhh good luck Bethany!

 

[bnporter81]

Thank you, girls...I've also had some light, dull cramping off and on for a couple of days. FX'd it's a good thing. I don't remember ever having any kind of dull cramping like this in my other TWWs,though. You would think after 3 children I would know the signs to look for and remember how it feels. Nope.

 

[bnporter81]

Hey everyone...boy it's been quiet on here lately. I was just wanting to get on here and complain,lol. I don't know why, but I just feel "out" this time. My temps. are good and all, but I just feel so down. I'm just sitting here thinking about how so many people get 12 chances a year to have a baby and I'm lucky to get 3 or 4 I just don't want to have to wait another 3 months to even have a chance to try again. It wouldn't be so bad if AF showed this time, just as long as I knew I'd have a chance to try again in 2 weeks. But oh well, not much I can do about it, I guess.

I know you all understand how I feel. Anyway, I don't mean to be such a downer. I guess I should try to stay positive...it's just hard.

Bethany - I think I can safely say that all of us have felt the way you are feeling right now. I can't tell you how many nights I cried myself to sleep wondering why my body just didn't work the way other womens' bodies did. It's not fair and I don't know why some people just seem to be lucky while others struggle. I'm going to continue to hold out hope for you for this cycle and if it's not this cycle I'm going to take it as a good sign that you finally did O and that the metformin is working and your next cycle will be much shorter. Just know that you're not alone and that we're here for you to lean on.

I take my 3 hour test tomorrow, here's hoping the one hour was just thrown off by my cereal eating.

Dee - Good luck at your gender scan! Can't wait to hear what you are having! Our first boy perhaps?!

 

[mrsc81]

Bethany - It is hard to stay positive when nothing seems to be working, but hang in there, you just never know this could be your bfp cycle

Caroline - Good luck with the test!

Dee - Im going to be stalking here like a crazy lady Cant wait to hear if your or .

 

[bnporter81]

Thanks everyoneI'm glad I have you all to talk to. Today my temp. has reached a new high...98.6. Never, ever been that high. Maybe it means my progesterone levels are good?I'm not sure.

Good luck, Caroline. I hope and pray your results come back within a normal range this time so it can take some weight off your shoulders. I know it's hard, but try not to worry about it too much.

Dee, can't wait for your results! You must be so excited!

 

[NewMrs2011]

How exciting! When will you test?

Can't wait to hear your news Seabean

 

[seabean]

Good luck with your "make-up exam" Caroline. I hope you pass with an A+!

Bethany - I echo the other ladies, that we all know exactly what you are feeling on here. I'm sorry you feel out and having fewer chances definitely makes it feel harder to bear. But you aren't out yet, so stay preoccupied with other things as much as possible and hopefully this TWW will fly by! Your temps look great!


Our appt is later this afternoon, it's still 9:30am where I am...seems like EONS from now!!!! I hope the little guy or girl is healthy!

 

[mrsc81]

Ive been to see midwife today, and im measuring small 20th-25th percentile which is a big drop from 75th i was measured by a different midwife 3wks ago, so ive been booked in for a growth scan, i guess it doesnt mean im having a small baby could just mean a small belly
I get to see baby again before her arrival

 

[mrsc81]

Cant wait for your news Dee

 

[foquita]

aarrggh I was hoping you'd be updating with the gender already dee

thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I had a great weekend in amsterdam and started my new job yesterday so yay

fantastic news on passing the test rachel! I bet it was a huge relief

Caroline, I'm so sorry you failed but I really hope that your three hour test results come back fine, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Bethany, I so hope that you'll be the next ! chart is looking excellent I know how you feel, though I cry myself to sleep now about the fact that even when I do ovulate, the sperm are too shit and lazy to make their way to the egg

raven, I hope you feel better soon I think the TTC depression comes in waves, so you'll bounce back in no time

hope everyone else is doing great, I think I've replied to all the new stuff! if I haven't, please forgive me...I'm on the train to work so it's a bit rushed
