Oh and meant to say we last night... Anyone who says to do this to bring on labour must be nuts, I thot I was going to break my legs when we tried it doggy then when I turned round I thot I was going to hav a heart attack god only knos how hubby did finish cos I sounded like a wild animal panting lol..x

 

[cupcake1981]

Cheryl that's so funny! Hope it gas the desired effect tho!

And yey for furniture!

Ttc it must be hard finding out what you lost, I never got that opportunity with either if my losses, but I think I would have found that exceptionally painful. Hope the group support is helpful to you. For the tests, are they the clotting disorder tests you are having? This pregnancy my GP suggested I took 75mg of low dose aspirin daily as can't hurt might help in case I had a thrombotic disorder which caused my losses. My be worth discussing with your doc when you are pg again x

 

[MrsDuck]

Morning ladies

Ttc I'm glad the support group was a help to you and all went well and I'm glad your levels are dropping quickly. It must have been awful finding out about your twins but I'm glad all came back normal xxx

Cheryl I hope it does the trick hun and I hope all is good this time with Leo's furniture xx

Ok, so good news, my HCG is going down faster than the first time around. Yay. Last week's was 221, this week's was 86! We're getting there. Not much longer for the next step. My doc's office already has the order ready to go when I do hit 0 or negative for the next blood panels - known as Thrombotic (sp?) panel. Once they are drawn, it will take a week or two to get results. It's 9 vials so they told me to bring a banana and juice. He, he...

Next...the chromosome testing finally came back...results are:

Products of conception showed a normal male karyotype
Had 46 chromosomes
It was x y
It was a boy ​

My hubby would have loved a boy. They said the other sac did not show any results because it might have been due to passing half on my own and half during the endometrial biopsy.

GOOD NEWS - all was normal with both!

She said it was hard to tell but both may have been boys, but both were normal. So you know what...i'm going to, in my mind, know i was having twin boys and take it from there. Man...that would have been awesome!

TTC I am so sorry hun IT must be devastating knowing the sex but at least the results were normal hun massive to you and DH Hun, ,my heart goes out to you and i am sooooo glad the support group was a success!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Cath have you got your trial pack yet? x

 

[AmyB1978]

Cath, where are you with o? When does the clear blue study start?

Cheryl, lmao at your description! Hope the furniture is great, can't wait to see pictures! You said someone from the store is putting it together?

MrsD, did you have your appointment yet, how did it go?

Ttc, more big hugs for you and your DH.

Tawn, how sre you and Maddie, how's your stepson, is he getting excited? Did you manage to arrange care for him for when Maddie comes?

Cupcake, hope you are feeling well. You get to find the sex out soon! Are you telling people or keeping it private? If telling I think you should do a gender reveal with cupcakes with pink or blue filling, it's a cute idea (google it if you aren't familiar) and would be perfect since you are cupcake and makes fabulous cakes!

Bailey, hope you are resting up and allowing yourself to heal.. Do as I say, not as I did... If I could go back I would have listened to people and taken it easier/rested as I think my recovery would have been easier. I hope you sre enjoying being a mama to your adorable Millie! If you have moments where you feel overwhelmed don't worry, you guys will figure out what works for you. Emily and I are getting there, figuring each other out. Try and trust those mommy instincts, you know your baby and what works for her best. I still struggle with 2nd guessing what I am oing with Emily and try to only look for select advice and only take whst seems right from it.

Shellie, how are you doing? Where are you in your cycle now? How is the wedding planning?

Emily was 11 weeks yesterday and I don't know where time is going, I want to slow it down. I visited my work yesterday so they could meet Emily. They had pizza and cake for me and gave Emily a gift and gift card. It was nice because they didn't really support me, if you'll remember, during pregnancy or after she was born. I talked to them and am going to go back working Saturdays for them soon. I am not sure exactly, as my family is visiting soon, I had told them the last Saturday of this month but might push it back to may as my parents will have just left and I have a feeling I will be totally exhausted. I need to be careful as I am so exhausted that I have been fighting to not fall asleep when driving, DH says he doesn't want me working until that settles and I am more rested. I think I need to start trying to nap when she does. I had pretty much stopped because she is sleeping better at night, but still not sleeping through the night (it varies how often she wakes and for how long.) I guess since I have been getting more sleep at night I figured I was ok but I have to realize my sleep is still disrupted, never mind the fact that I am still playing major sleep catch uo from when she barely slept. Anyhow, I will be going back, just Saturdays, fairly soon to bring in some extra money and be able to stretch how long I can stay home with her. I am not ready to,leave her, even for a day, but will do it to try a d make money less tight and be able to be with her longer. I didn't expect to feel sooo strongly about NOT leaving her, it's insane!

I hope and pray that everyone in here... The preggo ladies, the ttc ladies, the impatiently waiting to ttc ladies, even the lurking ladies... Has their rainbows in their arms soon. We need some more BFP for the next round of lucky babies!

Morning girls!!

Yep got it last night i was soooo excited to get it from the sorting office!! The bag was huge iv got so much stuff!! I got my CBFM which is tiny its like a palm held device, 5 pregnancy tests, 18 OPKS and 4 HPTS to use within the CBFM - the HPTs are like the opks you have to put them in the cbfm and it tells you if you are pg or not!! So much to read through though, i have no idea where i am this cycle, i think i ov yesterday but we have dtd since last Thursday, we are just both too tired this week.

MrsD how you feeling chick? Can you eat better today? I bet your getting bored of Pasta!!

Amy 11 weeks!!! Wow that has gone fast!! that was nice of your work colleagues!! Do you feel like your ready to go back hun both physically and mentally? I know money may be tight but you dont want to go back and feel even more exhausted? It would be nice for DH and EMily to have a bit of 'daddy and daughter' time though hun - xxxxxxxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Yay cath that's so exciting I bet you can't wait to start x

Amy be careful hun, that's so scary even the thought of falling asleep behind the wheel. Make sure you are ready to go back emotionally, and I think you are right to start very slowly 1 day a week and take it from there. Wow 11 weeks already, time is flying xx

Nope not had my appointment yet, hubby has a list to ask including to get to the bottom of me feeling dizzy nearly every time I stand up, if its not one thing it's another. Appointment is at 4.30 x

Cath funny you should mention pasta, hubby said 'I fancy some pasta tonight for tea' I almost smacked him, I'm sick of pasta and eggs. I am eating slightly better but meat for some reason just won't go down it feels like trying to swallow razor blades, and bread is hard too. I have to eat really slowly and chew chew chew. I am also suffering from trapped wind in my throat which is really painful until I burp, hubby has to keep winding me which is great practice for him haha

 

[cathgibbs]

Awwww MrsD you have been through it all hun havent you and you have hardly moaned!!! How about some braised steak in the slow cooker?? thats really soft isnt it??

Well i just did my last OPK and by the time i had got off the loo it was blazing positive so looks like im going to miss Ov! xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

I've tried meat in the slow cooker but I still can't get it down, not sure why, it just seems to get stuck??

Yay for pos opk but boo for having to wait til next cycle to try your goodies xx

 

[cathgibbs]

Thats so weird?! Maybe your thoat hasnt got much saliva for it to break the meat down hun??

Gutted Mrsd look how dark it is too xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

I don't think you've missed it Cath if you dtd tonight, remover you O after the +opk!

Can you eat Soup mrs d? What about baking some nice tasty homemade soup? Is fish to tough to?

Amy I love your gender reveal cake idea, maybe ill do that for work....altho I just have this feeling baby is gonna be a monkey and not let us see its bits!

 

[cathgibbs]

Im going to txt ~DF now and tell him as soon as he gets home hes having a shower (cause he works on building sites and hes dirty) and off to the bedroom and im lying with my legs up watching Geordie shore (so cringy i know lol)

Cupcake i think itll be boy for you!!! xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Wow cath that's dark, go get him later xx

I am making and eating soups cupcake, they just aren't filling for long enough, I'm just trying some fish for lunch, I tried a while ago and it was difficult to swallow, but it's a bit better now thanks for your ideas xx

If you find out the gender are you going to tell people or keep it a secret? xx

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha cath, how can he refuse that offer

 

[CherylC3]

[cupcake1981]

Yes ill be sharing once I know! Just not names.....

I still think pink most of the time, but other times I think boy.....hedging my bets really!

 

[baileybubs]

Afternoon ladies, hope everyone is ok today.

Ttc - so sorry for your news on the results, it must be so hard finding out about your twin boys. But I am glad the results were normal. I also took baby aspirin for the first 12 weeks too, I don't know if it helped but seems worth a try when you get pregnant again. And so glad the support group was good and seemed to help.

Cheryl - get that man in to do your furniture!! Or you may end up killing hubby lol!! Me and df tried dtd last week too and it was so hard!! I'm with you I don't get how my df managed to finish coz I kept wincing and saying ow coz nothing felt right lol!

Cath - yay for cb trial stuff. And wow to that positive opk!! You should be o'ing in the next 24 hours I would say, probably tonight so go get that df!!

Amy - yeah I remember telling you to take it easy and yet here I am doing too much as well!! It's so hard to trust df to do everything and learn to let go of the little things. I've gotta remember that nothing else matters except caring for myself and Emilia. I'm finding she's sleeping a lot in the day and not so much at night so I'm making sure I have naps with her, but I'm a terrible sleeper, it takes me ages to fall asleep!
Can't believe Emily is 11 weeks already!!! And I completely understand the seperation anxiety, I cannot imagine leaving Emilia with anyone else even just df which isn't because I don't trust him, but because I hate the thought of not knowing how she is and what she's doing.

Mrs d - I hope the appt gives you some answers and some help later Hun. Is it the dryness if the meat that's making it hard to swallow? I can see how soup wouldn't be filling. Is mincemeat too hard to swallow as well? I was thinking cottage pie or something to be more filling?

Cupcake - I love the gender reveal cupcakes idea that would be awesome!! Have you been buying anymore things for baby?

Hope everyone else is ok and sorry if I missed anyone.
Emilia is now starting to sleep less at night. She had us up a lot last night and I couldn't figure out why she was crying! It can be so heartbreaking listening to her and not knowing how to make it better! And this morning I've woken up with engorged breasts (well actually only my left one!!).
