Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[SLCMommy]

Emma - I understand. If it's something you are uncomfortable with, you need to do what is also in the best interest of not only your baby, but yourself Don't feel guilty. Also, about your mom - I am really sorry about her medical condition. That is scary, I really wish there was something I could do.

Coy - That is so cute your babe got the hiccups. I always loved it when my babies would get hiccups in utero. It's just a sweet, tender moment!

Shradha - I'm not sure if my scan is tomorrow. My first OB appointment is tomorrow, but they may or may not do a scan. I am just hoping for one It would be nice since I don't know how far along I am - but I am guessing six weeks.

Thanks shradha! i tested yesterday 10dpo bfn but the spotting has stopped and no more cramps, have a weird burning sensation in my tummy tho? going to test 2moro 12dpo its my partner's birthday 2moro what a lovely present that would be starting to think im out this month though... onwards and upwards to the next cycle if i am xxx

Thats great if the bleed has stopped.....that means it was an implantation bleeding.... fingers crossed....

Well, I just hit the 30th day in my cycle and no AF so I'm gonna guess this will be a 33 day cycle which could mean good things for my BD date since it was the day before my projected ovulation ( June 18th). If it is a 33 day cycle I should expect AF on July 2nd, which would make me 12 dpo right now. I can't even let myself get my hopes up though. When I do, it always ends up with a BFN. Still no pregnancy symptoms, the only noticeable thing is that while I usually have breast tenderness in the week leading up to my AF, there is a stunning lack of tenderness this month. Other than that, not really anything that screams that I may be pregnant. I don't really remember having symptoms with my DS either aside from breast tenderness and increased cm which I was NOT monitoring back then because I had lost hope of ever getting pregnant after 4 years of trying with no medical intervention.

Speaking of medical intervention, I lost my insurance coverage through our county so now I have to apply for a different insurance program and am being told it could be months before we'd get approved UNLESS I get pregnant and then they'd put me back on the old insurance plan. FRUSTRATING!

Dont worry.....You still have hope untill AF does'nt arrive..and I shall pray that AF does come and you get your .....You are 12dpo....so excited for you.....fingers crossed....... I too idnt have any symptoms.....just relax ...do not stress...

Well today is D-day. No sign of AF yet though she tends to show up in the evening so I'll be patiently waiting to see. I had some on and off cramping (like achey cramping, not as strong as a AF cramping) but it was hot here so I wonder if some of it was from that. Either way I think I'll be waiting to test for atleast a few more days if AF doesn't rear her ugly head.

 

[SLCMommy]

Alicia -

What does D-say mean? Your aches could be from an implantation - that is how is usually goes for me at least. If AF doesn't come you know i'll make you test in a few days. LOL I will probably be more impatient than you! However, if AF comes text me/let me know. But than of course you will have to update it on here as well. I am you get a BFP too but I don't want to get either of our hopes up for that. If the witch does come than just march onward to the next month. Easier said than done, it can be emotionally draining but you cannot give up on doing this naturally! At least just keep that as your motivation until you hear about your insurance.

Hi ladies!

SShradha- the baby gets hiccups in the uterus once in a while...and I can feel them It means the baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and also practicing swallowing--all good signs

Short for now ladies I am exhausted today for some reason...maybe over did it yesterday or something Anyway- off to run errands then on to school.

 

[msperry1984]

Coy- with all you did the other day you probably did over due it a little superwoman..lol..hope all you ladies are doing well Laura how is xander and you doing..getting ready to go home yet...loved the pics by the way he's adorable..

Update af has arrived right on timr.. but now i have to look forward to taking my crazy pills (clomid) starting friday hoping this time it works..but have to be careful and keep good track of my bbt and do opk this time bc i'm scheduled for surgery on the first to remove a swollen gland..ouch but have to make sure before surgery that i'm not prego but if i am then surgery will just have to wait a little longer..good luck ladies on your bfp and hope to have a buddy by the end of this month fingers crossed.

Also, i already took half of the test to become an E-2 today and passed So now i take the other half tomorrow to become an E-2. I am having increased cm and still sensitive bbs.

Wouldn't that be a kick and half to bet a bfp right now? Lol, Maybe?...

What exactly is an E-2?

 

[Grey Eyes]

OMG, I swear working with teams online is a nightmare! Ashley- do you work with cyber teams or is all your stuff singular at this point? Because its a nightmare! So I worked my butt of on an assignment and my teammate just had to write an introdcution--but he posted our work to instructor without team approval and early too and it was NOT COMPLETE. Aaargh! So I let him know he messed up and that I was going to try and fix it. All I told him was that he needed to check with the team before taking a big step like posting it as finished product--we all get the same grade even if it gets messed up by one idiot So now I am all under fire by a couple team member ssaying I am offensive and that moron was "just trying to help". No, no, my 7 year old "just tries to help". Big boys earning their Bahcelors or Masters degrees need to work on a doctoral level (we are graded on doctoral output) and stop being whiny-babies because they make themselves look like they're still in diapers!

Ah, there, I have vented. Sigh. I feel better. lol!

 

[SLCMommy]

Coy - No, I usually work on my own But I have worked in teams in the past. I hate it.

I'm so sorry about your BFN It is heartbreaking to see, isn't it? Hopefully you will get a BFP sooner than later Thank you for the well wishes! I'd love to be bump buddies with you, too!

Hi My name is Saundra and I have been TTC for 2 years. I am currently 9 DPO. I was wondering if I could join you guys in your group??

Of course, Saundra!! Welcome!! We are honestly in my opinion, one of the most closest and supportive threads. So, welcome! I know Alicia (ALPDULUTH) has been ttc for 2 years as well. I just got a BFP (big fat positive) pregnancy test after a later loss in January. Other women on here have had ttc or loss issues as well, so we are all really supportive and caring of each other.

 

[ALPDULUTH]

Alicia - Both Patrice & MsPerry are not pregnant this round... but what about you? I know you told me AF was supposed to come today... did it?

Amazingly , but not getting my hopes up. I'm seriously waiting until Friday.

 

[Pino6161]

Thanks!

Congrats on your !!!

This cycle me and OH were very agressive. I has a slight drop in temp these 2 days, so my hope is pretty much gone. OH on the other hand keeps talking as if it has already happened. It's alot of pressure this cycle. I am actually moving to Oklahoma in 9 months, so it is alot of pressure all over.

My SIL just had her little one last week, and my brother is 2 years younger than me My other's SIL's little one is a little over a year old, so both OH's family and mine are waiting for us

We'll get hopes up for you! I forget...are you charting temps at all? This thread is seriously addicted to chart reading ....Oh and poas'ing....and pic-deciphering (looking for bfp's on supposedly bfn's...)...

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies Xander is back with me on the ward now. His glucose levels are back to normal & his jaundice is going down. Just waiting on infection results which are due this morning but they expect to br negative. That just leaves his platelets which are only 50% of what they should be. We're waiting for a specialist Haematologist to review his case buy they now suspect it's due to blood incapability between Xander / DH / me. Will need more tests and follow up but not in hospital so fingers crossed we might make it home today. I had a really really low day yesterday after only 3 hours sleep the night before & my milk came in, talk about hormonal mess!!! At 1 point I felt too weak & I'll to feed him & was crying uncontrolably. DH was great though as well as the nursery nurse on the ward who took Xander down to nnu for his nightly blood tests to give me a break. Feeding wise giving him just 2 bottles of formula seems to have woken up his appetite & he now feeds off the breast beautifully!! If anyone's worried about nipple confusion then it's been no prob for Xander & he's had breast & 2 types of teats. He's feeding we'll for about an hour as well with the odd 5 min snooze in between. I actually got 4 hours sleep in a row which has made me feel a little more human (although at 4am here I'm going to want some more sleep once this feeds done!!) hopefully I'll get another hour or do before the ward wakes up & we're disturbed all the time!!

Shardha/ Ashley - how are you doing in your pregnancies? Hope the first tri isn't being too mean to you, I felt exhausted & permanently nauseous.

Coy / Emma - spotlights on you 2 for now for babies!! How are you both feeling?

Emma - from my experience with breast feeding, although I've ended up wanting to do it now more than ever, given that you've got your Mum to support as well I think formula will work out great for you. That said, if you're feeling strong in relation to body issues, which you might after the huge pregnancy hormones & no doubt adrenaline it's worth trying Phoebe on the nipple during skin to skin after the birth ( if you're planning to do it) it is amazing experience. You don't need to do it again.

Coy - I see you're picking up the slack got your team again! Are they all young? I find a lot of young students / graduates nowadays are really lazy. Don't know what a days hard work really is!!

Steph - how are you & Brandon doing? He is still a big feeder?

Patrice - glad you enjoyed your party. I feel emotional for you that you & DH will soon be apart. It's such a huge & brave thing you 2 are doing. It's going to work out great for a future family with the stability and who knows, that may be sooner than you think!! We will miss you on here when you do go to boot camp.

Ashley - you said you've family history in the Uk. Where from? It's funny as that means you, Coy, Patrice & Steph have connections here, although I think with Steph it was from her living here.

Hello to all the other ladies, I've lost track a bit with you all & don't mean to offend by not replying to you all personally. Usually I'm big on ttc advice but you chatter boxes loose me on where everyone is in cycles & ttc issues!! Once I'm home & in a routine I'm sure I'll be on more. What I will say is you'll get lots of support on this thread. All lovely ladies & in the year, in fact over for some of us & the trials & tribulations we've individuality had we've grown very very close. Keep that up.

You know i love you ladies & value your support

(hormonal gush!! )

Laura- great to hear all the fabulous news! So Xander got the experience of a full tummy and decided he liked it huh? Typical man! I am so happy everything is working well and he is eating. Yes, hormones, rest, stress- it is all a whirlwind at first and you've had a rough patch with the scare for his glucose Glad you are getting some sleep-- 4 hours is knock-out for a breastfeeder! What was the extent of your surgery, are you feeling better after or still tender??

Yes, hellish team again, real bang-up lol. Some are young yes, but one (great teamer I've had before) is in hospital trying to bang out assignments between chemotherapy treatments for cancer and one of our jackass teammates razzed her hard for issuing her portion late in the week (on time but late int he week) So when it came out that he was the real issue to a poor assignment he got all defensive and bla bla yeah, very juvenile remarks being tossed around. Anyway, I bucked over it and am on to next week Lol!

As far as pregnancy I am feeling great, trying to increase my activity and watch my carb intake. Doc was upset that I gained 7 pounds instead of 4 ( jerk ) But dh is telling me my butt and noodles don't get along. Dh told me to cut out anything pasta and not to worry about the rest. I am really surprised at his support in this as he has been feeling terrible lately (new diabetic medication not agreeing with his system) so I was floored when he pushed me to eat today and got worried at my energy levels Yesterday I felt like a steamroller...today I felt like I'd been run over by one PREGNANCY.
