March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[armymama2012]

Janelly- try not to worry. It could be the calm before the storm- Morning sickness! I have definitely had times where I've felt less pregnant in early pregnancy. You can also expect to feel like that again around weeks 9-10. Just warning you early so you won't be in a panic

Army- Sending positive thoughts your way.

Sweetz- I had to laugh at your post about the baby being a boy b/c the legs were crossed. LOL! Too funny!

Garfie- Sorry AF started. At least you get an early start on trying during the holiday season.

Bama- YAY for the great pic! I'm sure you'll be you shocked at to see the development at your next US.

Leather/Lila- Welcome! Sorry to hear that your 1st pregnancy ended in MC after 6 years. Have you had any medical checks done? HSG? Hormone tests? etc?
I haven't tried the Robitussin or anything. OPK (the internet cheapies) worked best for me. I have NO CM to speak of so I used pre-seed. I tried Fertile CM, but that never worked for me. I gave up after 1.5- 2 months.

Aspe- I think you asked the question about cervical position right? The egg can be fertilized for 12-24 hours. After that, it starts to disintegrate. It's more beneficial to have sex the day before ovulation rather than after because it can take the sperm several hours to swim to where it should be. The day OF can work too. The day AFTER ovulation probably will not work unless you are one of the very few people who's egg MIGHT live longer than 24 hours. They say you have a 5 day window because that is when the cervix is open and the sperm can swim and wait for the egg to come out. During the rest of the month, the cervix is closed and the egg is not available for implantation.

Storked- Sorry you're feeling ignored. Trust me, at times I have felt ignored too. Sometimes I have to post things twice before anyone responds! But maybe being off the thread for a while will hope you clear your head. Whatever works! Hope to see you back on soon.

AFM- I've started the daunting task of putting together a baby registry. Well actually, I started a few weeks ago but I finally have more than 5 items on the registry as of yesterday! I was only going to do BabiesRUs, but when I saw how much cheaper some things were at Target, I couldn't resist setting one up there too.

Hi to Krissy and the other ladies!

We did Babies R Us and Target for our son. Only 1/3 of the stuff got bought but oh well. I worked at Babies R Us at the time so I got all the coupons we passed out, the ones we mailed out, and the extra 10% employee discount. I miss working there but it probably would have driven me crazy seeing preggo ladies all the time for the year we were trying. I always go there when we are back in IL though to get some good deals on clothes for our daughter off the clearance rack (especially skirts).

I dont think anyone will throw me a baby shower for this one (not that I'd turn it down if they asked!) because we have most of my sons stuff still. All we basically need are the diapers, wipes, and newborn-3 months clothes. I really want to know the gender of the baby but DH wont be with me so there fore we will wait til the baby is born.

 

[armymama2012]

Sweetz..my android is a piece of poop too and I just got it a couple of months ago. Apparently, the only smart phones to buy, according to a critique article, is samsung SIII and the iPhone.

Baka..thanks for sharing the picture

Janelley..glad you are feeling better now

Krissy...such a cute picture

Storked..ohh noo, I'm going to miss you. But you got to do what you got to do

Army..where are you today

Leather..I thought I had pcos, so I got tested but everything came back normal. However, I only have my af every other month. The last two times it was 58 days and 63 days. Before then, i had it every month. It started going weird in april. How did they diagnose you, if you don't mind me asking? Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

AFM, I don't really know when I ovulate so it makes it a bit difficult

I'm right here. Sorry if I haven't been answering many questions but neither DH or I have felt very good today and I keep going back upstairs to sleep hoping it will help.

 

[Krissy485]

OK just as i get my hopes up he is there to shoot them down......WTF... i am so F'n done with this back and forth bullshit! I want my husband to be a freaking husband and dont a freaking roommate bc that is how i feel lately....i am at the point that i cant even cry about it anymore bc i dont think he is even worth my tears. i think i might try to go to bed...i know half the reason i feel like i do right now is bc af is due friday but that is only maybe half...right now i just feel rejected and unloved and not worthy of his freaking time or energy....you were right sweetz why is that guys have a few good days then they are complete asses again? there is so much more i could write right now about how i feel but i wont...its too depressing...i just need sleep i think....maybe on the couch away from him....night

 

[BayBeeEm]

Hello ladies. I can't believe how fast one falls behind in a single day. Ummmm, I can barely remember all of what I've read.

Storked - I know how you feel and it happens often in this thread. That said, I think it has a lot to do with ones ability to engage as much and frequently as others on the board. I find that the more I spend away then try to re-engage the less people acknowledge my comments or thoughts. I don't want you to leave though ... I really, really don't. Sighs

Bamagurl - Love the baby pic. What a great picture and I'm sure an even better feeling. I am too happy for you.

Krissy - LOL at your baby looking like a dead panda after your father's attempt at making her a zombie. Too cute!

HisGrace - I would love to hear an update from you.

Armymama - I sure hope all is well. I would think 4 weeks is kind of early to be certain of an ectopic. When they suspected mine the monitored by HCG levels closely. I'm praying your numbers double appropriately.

Nevergivingup - I am doing well. Still playing the gracious host to my FIL and working like no man's business. Can't wait until I take some time off. I need some RnR!

MnJ, Aspe, Kanicky, Garfie, Lpjkjp and all of the other wonderful ladies I may have missed, how you're doing well in all that you do.

Lisalsee - oh how I've missed thee! How are things with you?

AFM - I had my early scan to rule out an ectopic today. I saw my yolk sac and all of the other baby bits in my UTERUS today. I thought I would cry but all I could do was say "Glory be to God" ... I think my doctor was taken aback and just said "Yes!" lol. Morning sickness started Saturday night. Still super sleepy. I will have my follow up scan next week Friday to see his/her heartbeak. I am so excited!

Sleep well Krissy.

 

[Aspe]

Oh no.....so sorry you had a hard, disappointing evening. I still do hope things get better, as it appeared that ways a few days ago. Sometimes it is better to say what you are thinking/feeling. We are here to listen and offer advice if you wish ..hugs..

Krissy, I hate seeing you go through all of this. I wish your hubby would be just that, your husband. I dont get his distance, I mean he is hot one moment then cold the next. It really is frustrating.

Yeah, from what I read I'd have to be at least 5 weeks to rule out ectopic so they could clearly see something. I'm so happy you got to see your little sac and that its not an ectopic for you. Yay!

Whats your EDD? How far along are you?

 

[HisGrace]

Bama - congrats on seeing the hb. How lovely. And that is a great pic.

Baybee - good luck on your appt tomorrow - nevermind - i see you went today. so glad you got some confirmation.

Lisa - Yay for feeling the baby move. I am sure that is a wonderful feeling.

Sweetz - argh on the gender scan.

Army - I pray it's not an ectopic.

Mnj - Happy olive day!

Garfie - Sorry about the witch. A fresh start and time to prepare for your bfp.

Janelle - sorry about those symptoms disappearing. I am sure everything is fine. Thursday will be here before you know it.

Krissy - Those pics are soooooo cute! I hope your hubby comes around to talking soon. I can understand your frustration.

Storked - Don't go! I haven't responded because i've been gone but i'm back. Yay for the passport. Tell hubby you'll just have to go back to all the places you already had stamps for so your passprt can be a complete representation of where you've been. LOL.

Leather - :wave: Welcome. I am so sorry for your loss. Can't wait to get to know you better.

AFM - I'm in Boston right now for a training. I miss DH and my own bed but I love that I can come up to my room at lunch to take a nap. As for the pregnancy, nothing new to report. Still spotting light brown to dark brown with small clots and my levels aren't doubling anymore. DH gets pretty upset when I bring it up but all I can tell him is that it's all going to work out in God's perfect timing. We will be parents when the time is right.

Awww....HisGrace. My heart goes out to you. You are so strongt to be handling this the way you are. I will continue to pray for you.

 

[lisalee1]

BayBeeEm- That's a wonderful update!!!! Yolk sac is VERY PROMISING!!! You're on your way!

Hisgrace- Glad you checked on us. I hope that everything works out OK.

Krissy- Sorry your husband is not treating you well today. I hope that tomorrow is better.

 

[Sweetz33]

Krissy....I can relate....oh boy can I relate.....annoying as *bleep*

BayBee...woooooooohooooooooooooooooooo

Um...shoot forgot what everyone else said hahaha dangit.....

I wonder if I can put the Samsung SIII on my baby registry heheh

 

[janelleybean]

I can't talk much because hubby needs to do his spanish homework. I will be in and out on my phone, but wanted to get the big stuff out of the way.

Leather- Welcome!!! I've never tried cough syrup but I know women who have had success. I tried a low dose aspirin before this BFP and was successful with that. Not sure if it helped or not.

Aspe- I don't any of us ladies REALLY know when we O, I think we just have a rough estimation. Sounds to me like you are in your fertile phase. BD BD BD!!! Fingers crossed for you! I really hope this is it for you!

Krissy- Pissy, Krissy. I hate reading that you're so unhappy with your hubby. I think it's about time he get hit in the head with a frying pan. No, I'm just kidding. Have you told him that you feel like a roommate rather than a wife? I really wonder if it's bothering him that you are living with your parents. I wouldn't want to get freaky in my in laws house. Especially if their room what right next to ours. Which is why I really think you need to take his ass out to the middle of no where and get it on!

Lisa- I had my registry through target as well. Only because I really liked the style. I think BabiesRus is really pricey and the only time I ever went there were to get Mam pacifiers and bottles. That's all my son would suck on. OMG, you're a sweet potato!!

Army- I was told by my mom that you only get one baby shower, no matter how many kids you have. Well, considering it was all of her nutty friends at my baby shower, I'm still waiting for my own. I'm having a baby shower with this one, if I have to throw it my self and serve everyone oreo's and water. There will be a shower! As for your ultrasound yesterday, could they see anything? Even a gestational sack? I remember when I was pregnant with my son I had an ultrasound early on, but I remember how far along I was, but they could see a gestational sack.

BaybeeEm- I've missed you! Where have you been?! You seem really close to me with your BFP. I got mine on Sept. 11th at 11DPO. When did you get yours? I'm going to the doctor this Thursday for a follow up ultra sound to see the heartbeat. I'm super nervous and excited at the same time.

Bama- I have told a lot of people that I'm pregnant, but I haven't blogged about it yet only because I'm afraid to. I think I will wait until I'm at least 12 weeks to blog about it. But I really wanted to share it with close family just so they could share the joy. I thought if I miscarried again, I would have one hell of a support system and a shoulder to cry on, rather than have to sit in my house and cry all day alone. Hope that makes sense. I told my in laws first... still haven't told anyone on my side yet. But my in laws are all knitters, so they were over the moon asking me what they could knit. It was kind of nice.

Hisgrace- Oh how I have been thinking of you so much. I hope you're enjoying Boston. I'm so sorry to hear of the spotting continuing and your numbers aren't doubling anymore. I'm sending you a big and I admire your positivity through this. You are amazing!

Okay, I think I got everyone, but just in case I missed someone. I'M SORRY!! Storked, you better come back, and Sweetz, I hope your bimple isn't giving you trouble. You see you're SON is already being a pain in your ass.

AFM- I'm tired and my boobs are really making up for lost time. They are really hurting now. I think I might try and put a heating pad on them... see if that helps. I seriously don't see why I complain about lost symptoms, because when they return I wonder why the hell was I bitching!

I don't know if they saw anything. The screen was angled away from me. She wouldnt let me see.

 

[Sweetz33]

Lol@ Jane

 

[janelleybean]

So, I made a lot of type-os in that response. Sorry. I'm sure you'll all understand what I said.

Army- that has got to be frustrating. Alright well I'm hoping things are getting better. Are you still having shoulder pain? Are you spotting? I had a friend who had shoulder pain when her period was due.

 

[Leather3280]

Aspe:They said I have because I have cysts on my ovaries and I'm not sure what else.
Lisalee1: yup had all those hormone tests done came back normal I believe. Had an HSG done a couple months before my one bfp. That's when we saw a specialist and we were talking about doing IUI and IVF I was willing to do IUI but wasn't ready for IVF. My husband didn't want to do IUI and the specialist was a to much for my DH so we stopped going and we were pg a couple months later. Yup this place is crazy but its cool.

It was very frustrating. No shoulder pain yet. No spotting yet either Thank God.

 

[janelleybean]

Army- that is a great sign!! Hopefully both symptoms stay away and your hcg levels come back normal.
