Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[SpudsMama]

I know, it really has slowed down! I think it's got a lot to do with Coy, Laura and I having our own journals. We update in those instead

How are you and your boys doing Steph?

Shradha, bless him being awake all night, it's no fun! I can't wait to hear what you're naming your little boy

 

[Steph32]

I can't keep up with all the journals!! I've checked into yours Emma, and Laura's but I feel so behind now. Wow it looks like both Phoebe and Xander are doing great with their milestones. Brandon is not quite sitting up unassisted yet, which has had me worried. He still needs me to spot, I sit behind him, and he can kind of balance for maybe 5 seconds, and then falls to the side. Or he just gets lazy and falls right back into my lap I notice some days he definitely is more lazy and won't sit at all, other days are better. Another worrying thing is that his head growth is way above the 100th percentile. It was always slightly above, but from 6-8 months it took a huge growth spurt. The doctor referred us to see a neurosurgeon but they want to go right ahead with a CT scan before even doing a consult. I don't agree with that, so we are going somewhere else where they can do a consult first. I honestly think he's fine, I just think because he has such a big head it's harder for him to hold it up and causes him to be a bit delayed with his development. I just don't think there is anything pathologically wrong, I think he'd have other symptoms or be sick, fussy, etc... he's just a big headed happy baby... idk...

WELL, I guess everyone has ditched this thread

You all have your journals and I have no home now



Anyway, trying to upload some pics but says the files are too big. I've been taking all my pics with my good camera and I guess the resolution is too large.

 

[lauraemily17]

Hey hun. Not ditched but honestly look at rarely now. Can't reply properly as getting ready to go to work I will later though. You're more than welcome to drop into my journal to update me on how you and Brabdon are whenever you like though. I miss you.

 

[SpudsMama]

Same here ^^ I'm still reading and replying when people post, but my own updates are in my journal.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ditto on the last 2 posts I am crazy busy w/sick people lately but try to pop in here.........we need some ttc'ers!

 

[msperry1984]

Hello ladies don't have much to.post no updates really just a strange feeling that I'm gonna get a surprise at my next sono only 5 weeks to go..just have a funny feeling they might see two in there or maybe its just a feeling of a lose idk but either way anticipating finding out something

 

[shradha]

Steph dont worry I will keep posting whenever I can .. we had the naming ceremony.. my baby has a name.. shresh.. I finally am getting back to my routine.. but I still feel weak. I have lost all the weight that I gained during pregnancy which is a big surprise.

 

[SpudsMama]

[lauraemily17]

Wow, that's amazing Shradha, well done you on the weight loss. That's a lovely name. I like that its similar to yours. I'd love to see some pics.

AFM, Sunday starts month 3 of my BCPs and then after that....no more BCPs!! My family keeps telling me that they think I would conceive not long after I stop taking BCPs which I hope is true. By the time I stop taking the pills..I should be with DH and we should be settled in our new place at his permanent duty station. He doesn't know where he would be stationed as of right now so we are just waiting. Next month, he graduates from his "A" school so Im excited. Ummm about ttc wise.. I don't know what cd I am on currently but I have been having on and off spotting so Im pretty sure AF is on her way soon enough. Which will mean my AF is regulated because AF will show the 4th week of the BCPs like it suppose to. So looks like I will be going back to a 28 day cycle...well fxed I am. So thats my update.

 

[SpudsMama]

Sounds like everything is going well with you Patrice It's nice to have an update!

 

[mzswizz]

thanks Emma. Yes I know I have been gone for awhile now. Im just dealing with everything and trying to focus on dh and i and the car accident situation. Not going to be on much until I really start ttc. So once this birth control is over...i shall be back on here.

Went to my reproductive specialist today. Turns out, during my pregnancy with Malachi I had the Human Parvovirus B19 which caused him to have "fetal anemia" - inadequacy number of good quality red blood cells, so he wasn't getting enough oxygen. There is nothing more to be done. I cried the whole way home...and than some. I was given a blessing by the doctor, and given the go ahead to try again for another. My heart hearts....it's linked to having babies develop Hydrops There really isn't anything to prevent this, as it's more a fluke that moms get it but if a woman gets it while pregnant, it's DEVASTATING.

*******

So, last night was my birthday. Josh had brought up a few days prior that if my RE gave me the go-ahead to try again, he wants too. Yesterday I took an OPK and it was blazing positive. SO, of course we.......bow-chicka-bow-wowww! LOL!! So, now I'm officially in the TWW.

 

[SpudsMama]

Ashley, I'm glad you've got some answers now, but I'm guessing it must have brought back some painful memories. BIG !!

Happy birthday for yesterday! Ooo the 2ww, are you going to go crazy symptom spotting or just see what happens?

 

[SLCMommy]

Yeah, once I found out I cried the way home, and than once I got home I cried some more. I think I mostly just cried because that was it....the chapter of that is now closed. It's like, when you know someone died and why, there is nothing you can really do but move on once answers have came.

I'm not sure...see, I would do symptoms but what If I'm just making them up? LOL!! Like- what if it's all in my head? baha... Maybe I will track them though

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ashley- I am glad that you have finally gotten an answer! No easier to hear I am sure but now you know. This Human Parvovirus B19 is the same thing as Fifths Disease which according to our doctor my dd's have had. Once you have had it you are immune to it---so I am guessing this cannot ocurr to you again Did you ask your doc about carrying it w/o manifestation? I think once you're over it it's gone though iykwim...you don't carry and spread And yay! for 2WW!! I got a positive on the 14th so....we're 2WW buddies

[Grey Eyes]

LOL! We have decided to NTNP...w/ an emphasis on NT but still....dh tells me "let me know ehen you get a positive opk so we can abstain". So I tell him "I got a positive opk"...and he pounces! so maybe he wants to get me preggo lol

 

[Grey Eyes]

I guess that's okay...I will be 38 in April so....if we want another I guess any time is a good time?
