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

[nevergivingup]

Bama - yay for the ultrasound. 18 weeks is around the corner, you may have mentioned it but what sex are you rooting for?

CONGRATS HISGRACE ON BEING 11WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bamagurl]

Bamagurl: Its time for guessing the gender already?!! I hope you get what you want! You already have a girl right? And Sending you for today on your angel baby delivery day anniversary. It is a bit wierd, mine was on my DH deceased father Birthday but he/she didnt make but to be blessed to get another chance is a blessing in itself. I hope your day goes smoothly.

Yes! How crazy is that!?!? I am super ready to be calling baby by name instead of it or baby lol. Yes we already have a little girl.

Thanks! It is a weird day for sure. I think we may celebrate or I will at least with a cupcake and candle.

Glad to hear everything is going well for you! Hope you get that burst of energy you need to make it through the day!

 

[nevergivingup]

Thanks Bama!!

A cupcake and a candle sounds great! And i know, i didnt like calling my baby an "IT", because a human being is not an "IT", so i was excited to do the gender scan, now we know its a boy now we hve no name so all we call him is "The Boy"..hee hee, i hope we dont be like the couples who still cant come up with a name 3 days after the baby is born and have to shoot out a no meaning name from nowhere. Do you have any name preferences if you have a girl or boy. And it would be awesome to have the best of both worlds...a girl and now a boy!!!

 

[bamagurl]

Aww the perfect name will come to you! We have a few name choices we only have like 1 boy name we can agree on lol. I am almost thinking of even paying if they will do a scan at my 16 week appointment haha. I just think it would be so neat to tell family on Thanksgiving!

 

[nevergivingup]

Bamagurl: haha, we are in the same boat, we had a girl name we both loved, but didnt have not one name for a boy. I thought the boys would be easier, its left up to my DH anyway..so no pressure on me. O my we think the same way....i sooo asked my OB when i was 15wks if we could pay for an u/s too. But she shot me down..grrrr I think that will be an awesome gift and surprise on Thanksgiving Day for your family. I so think its worth it, but unfortunately i had to wait until i was 18wks. So if you get yours early would they do another around 18-20 wks bc all im getting now is fetal doppler by my OB.

 

[carlywarly]

CarlyWarly: i am not the brightest person as you will see, but i when you say taking Donations, will you elaborate more on that for me, or am i having a prego moment, where my baby is sucking my brain juice..? And have you "O" yet, bc i know im a day late at responding.

No worries hun It's unheard of if you aren't familiar with such things. I am in a same sex partnership and we have a donation every cycle (AI method). I think I got my +OPK today...but tis confusing me somewhat hehe...hoping for ovulation tomorrow or the day after as I had my donation this morning

Soooo cute about the bump -YAY

 

[mackjess]

Super cool Carly. I think if I were in the same situation and there was the conversation about who would carry the baby I would've been yelling out "NOT IT!!". I have never been a fan at the thought of being preggers, which is probably why it took me til I was 35 to be talked into it, and now it's even scarier after having a m/c. I just keep visualizing the ending, and how it will all be worth it after I'm holding my precious baby. GL to you!

 

[meggiemay93]

Shefali Sorry I can't help you with your chart. I'm just going to be starting charting this month if no BFP so I won't know what to look for.

Never Thank you so much for your encouragement! You are very helpful and make me laugh!

Thanks hun We didn't have to have that convo as my OH was told at a young age that she wouldn't be able to conceive - plus she's an old bat now hahaha (just joking!!)

I would LOVE to carry full term...when I think back now...I find it hard to believe I was ever pregnant to begin with, all we can pray for is a sticky bean this time.

It will soooo be worth it hun, for all of us who are TTC number 1 and those going for siblings. I do think it's harder to get excited if you get a if you have suffered a loss...things aren't as joyous as there is always that worry or doubt. I will try not to let it take over if and when we get a again

I wish you loads of luck, and really hope this is your cycle hun x

 

[jabish]

I am feeling a lil worried today cause i got my positive opk on sat but only used preseed 1 of those days and i dont get any cm on my own plus we may have used something for lub thats not sperm friendly on a few nites.....just have waited so long and have tried so many diff things and cut out so many diff things to get a BFP....I hope and pray that en eggy was got......need my BFP

Yeah I figure the worse they could tell me is no! I am hoping that since it is the day before Thanksgiving they may feel like being generous and just giving us a small sneak peek! I would think they would still do another scan at 18 weeks to confirm gender and do all their measuring to make sure everything is still going perfectly!

 

[kanicky73]

Thanks everyone! You guys always know how to make me feel better. Just anxious for life to get back to normal.

so I am 10 dpo and me being the poas addict that I am, in true fashion I tested but didnt use FMU and got a BFN. So I think I am out again this month. I sure wish one of you lovely ladies on here could tell me if youve ever taken clomid before and had all this crazy cramping! Its UNREAL!! Started a couple days ago and no sign of it letting up! very weird. Anyhoo I think I may do the dye test, anyone do that??? Does it hurt?? tell me all about it!

I did it!! It did hurt, but it wasnt NEARLY as bad asI thought it was gonna be. I was scared to death. just take some advil or tylenol before hand, and it will be a piece of cake. the weird thing about mine was that immediatly afterwards (as in the same day) when ever i went pee, there was this silt like material that came out with my pee. it was almost as if i had poured sand out into the toilet with my pee... very weird. Anyway, they very next month, I got my BFP with my son He is now 20 months old

Thats kind of what I am hearing. I am a tad scared but it will all be worth it if it works! sand huh? that is weird but I imagine whatever they put in there needs to come back out right?! That is so promising knowing you got your BFP the next month. Thats what my doc is telling me, that sometimes it clears things out just enough to let the swimmers through! Thanks for the encouragement. Of course Im not out until the fat AF sings but she is due in about 5 days. this clomid is really wacking me out, crampy, nauseous etc but apparently that is typical for a month on clomid!

 

[nevergivingup]

Meggiemay: Glad I can be helpful, we're def all here for eachother, Bc we all know this journey gets stressful.so def don't hold bk up here ma'am, chat your heart out!!

Carlywarly: Ooooo...that's what donations mean, I had an idea but didn't want to speak on it w/o being accurate. You were so right ab finally getting prego but now being worried every day Bc of past m/c's. All we can do is take it one day at a time, and when you get your BFP, my FX that everything will go just fine w/ your bean. All we can do is stay positive!

Kanicky: So glad youre bk!!!! And still in the TTC boat! I surely wish I could help w/ the clomid question, but I have the slightest idea....Ooooooh but somebody please help who may know ab it. But I do know don't get discouraged ab the 10dpo Bc I got a BFN at 10DPO too and then ended up w/ a BFP at 12Dpo. Dont count yourself out, you're still in it.sorry ab the cramping that have to be horrible. So sorry.

BamaGurl. Hey it won't hurt to ask!! They may just be in that cheerful giving Thanksgiving mood!! I hope they are, so you can get those names together. And yep that makes sense, I just wish they would give me another u/s, I don't go bk until I'm 26 wks, and that's for the Glucose testing. No u/s So I will def be excited to see yours!!

Jabish:O don't worry ma'am, I only used pre-seed once and i dont know if it got me our BFP, but we got it while using other things as well. Don't stress, if it's meant to be you will get it regardless of what lubricant you used. BD is the main factor, that's the way to get it! GL!

Mackjess: hey you're never to old to want to TRY, FX that you will get your BFP!!! 35 is a great age, remember that.

AFM: Went Walkin today and did only 4 laps for that's all my body would allow me before my stomach felt as if it was tightening up and my pelvic began cramping alittle. But it so felt good, and then I went to CiCis pizza and ate 8 slices of pizza, 2 breadsticks, and 3 cinnarolls On the flip side, I chugged it down w/ some good ole calorie free water! Haha, I'm a hog, I know, I'm going bk walking tommorrow too maybe I can walk off 1 or 2 slices of pizzas

ok, well, I think the sand part was what came out of me.. what had been built up for 29 years. I dont think the dye had a sand like texture.. It was as if you had been at the beach with tennis shoes on, then waited till you got home to dump your beach sand in the toilet. there was obvious residue in the toilet!! it was crazy!! I agree with your Dr, I think it clears things out just enough to help the sperm get where they are trying to get!! Good luck this month and if not, Better luck after your HSG!!

 

[nevergivingup]

thanks everyone! You guys always know how to make me feel better. Just anxious for life to get back to normal.

So i am 10 dpo and me being the poas addict that i am, in true fashion i tested but didnt use fmu and got a bfn. So i think i am out again this month. I sure wish one of you lovely ladies on here could tell me if youve ever taken clomid before and had all this crazy cramping! Its unreal!! Started a couple days ago and no sign of it letting up! Very weird. Anyhoo i think i may do the dye test, anyone do that??? Does it hurt?? Tell me all about it!

i did it!! It did hurt, but it wasnt nearly as bad asi thought it was gonna be. I was scared to death. Just take some advil or tylenol before hand, and it will be a piece of cake. The weird thing about mine was that immediatly afterwards (as in the same day) when ever i went pee, there was this silt like material that came out with my pee. It was almost as if i had poured sand out into the toilet with my pee... Very weird. Anyway, they very next month, i got my bfp with my son He is now 20 months old

o thanks runnergrl for commenting and helping out!!!

 

[MamaTex]

jabish: Best of luck to you. You can do everything required but nature will take its course. I am hoping it takes its course in a positive way for you!!! I have heard of Preseed but have not tried it out yet.

bamagurl: I am not sure what your financial situation is, but if the providers you are seeing will not allow you to get a scan, perhaps you can get authorization from your doctor to have a scan at a private facility. I hope you are able to get one in a little sooner!!!

carlywarly: I like your positive attitude. I was so afraid of what I would go through when I first got pregnant and was scared to death of labor, but now I wish to face it all!! My biggest fear was doing #2 during labor. Now I realize that much worse can happen besides having to go to the bathroom. Ah well...

AFM: Over the weekend I started couching. By Sunday the cough was more pronounced and I had an itchy throat. I have been downing apple juice and water. I also took it easy today. I woke up more tired than normal and proceeded to rest for most of the day. By the afternoon I felt better so I decided to go on a walk. Bad idea I guess because at the end of it, I felt drained and sickly. I laid down and after an hour, felt better. I think that was my body's way of telling me it wants to stay inside and rest to get better. All I was trying to do was get some physical activity in for the day.

It has been about 3 weeks and 5 days since I stopped bleeding and almost 40 days since the beginning of the MC. No sign of AF still. Really starting to wonder what is going on and if I will have to be one of those women who will need an extra hand to get her cycle started again.

I would say you are still very normal. I bled for over 6 weeks and ended up needing a D&C after that since my numbers were dropping too slowly. Its a good thing i got one because my Dr said she got a fairly good sized piece of substance that was clearly stuck to my uterine wall and she doubted it would have pulled away on its own.. I know that's hard to hear...its hard to say! my baby was really trying to stick around! It just wasn't meant to be!

I dont know how far along you were or what your HCG numbers are, but if they arent at 0, you wont ovulate... and you probably wont have a period until you ovulate.. hope it all happens soon for you sweetie, I know how hard this is!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sweetz33]

Wow...I really gotta stop this MIA stuff hahaha

I did read what everyone wrote, but prego brain has taken over and I am super distracted by Xander aerobics.

Hi to all the new ladies!!! Dust to all the TTCers!!!!

And to my prego girls, how are we all doing??
