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

Hey ladies

Thanks ladies om really chuffed with it so far and kat, i used tape goodness I could never have gotten them that straight freehand lol

Glad your all doing well, for those of you still trying I'm sure the time is just around the corner, happy birthday garfie and happy anniversary too,
 
mowat~ *hugs* That is frustrating, but I guess it's better that there's nothing wrong with you. It is hard to not have answers though. I have contemplated seeing a chiro/acupuncturist for this stuff (I only know of one naturopath around here, and she's kinda nuts). Maybe after dh's SA comes back. It's not the route I'd normally take, but sometimes when the usual stuff isn't working, you think about your options! As you said, can't hurt. If you do go, let us know how it goes!

Can I get in with you ladies who have decided this next cycle is the cycle to get pg? Sounds good to me. I've decided to get pregnant too. That's all there is to it right? :winkwink:

garfie~ GL with your grab hubby and go method. LOL. Love how you phrased that. :) Happy belated birthday and happy anniversary! Sounds like you had quite the exciting time!

Ladies with the repeat m/c with no explanation...have you been checked out for immune type responses to pregnancy? :confused:

Kat~ Glad the home insemination thing is going well! Totally hoping and praying that you get to call the Dr and brag about your success! :D

ES~ Thanks! I have no idea when we'll know the results, but for a lot of lab things, we can see the results online same day. So that's sort of what I'm hoping for. DH's appointment is at 8 am. And I'm guessing he won't want to log in from work to view results, so maybe he'll check when he gets home.

Sorry about your BFN. :hugs:

Mama~ Glad you have some help at home. And glad BFing is going well. You will feel like a ROCK STAR when you take Miss Sky to her ped appointment and know all that growing she's been doing is because of YOU! :) She is sooo soo beautiful. <3

AFM: Nothing much going on besides the SA Thursday morning. Still need to try to think to ask about having my progesterone tested, would like to do it during this cycle's luteal phase, and I expect to ov in a week and a half-ish.

My very last patient today was one of my FAVORITES. She has a granddaughter a few months younger than my dd. She said, "time for another!" Which doesn't really make me mad because people just don't know...and I really do like this lady. But I finally said something like, "yeah, we'd really like another, but we're finding that the second one doesn't come as easy as the first." Hmm, she did clam up as expected. I immediately felt bad about saying it. I told dh and he told me not to feel bad, people need to learn to mind their own business. I don't know, I sort of agree, but on the other hand, I know she meant well. *shrug*
 
It is hard. People usually do mean well with their comments and I try to extend them that grace but often it does get to be like sand in the bathing suit. It just rubs and rubs and after awhile, something so simple and harmless can become unbearable. I do think though that telling people it's time for another child or asking questions about TTC are just so personal that it is safer to almost never broach the subject unless the other person says something first or you both know each other pretty well and are there for each other in the tough times. That's just me though.

afm - I'm starting to almost forget about the TTC thing. It's weird to feel this way. I can't completely forget but it's definitely gone on the back burner. I think a lot of that has to do with the giving up of hope. Yet it doesn't feel like a depressing sort of giving up. More of a "there's nothing more I can do". I just have to keep on DTD and waiting to see what happens. I think my brain needs the break. My stress and anxiety are getting really bad. When I panic attack I'm getting heart palpitations that hurt brutally bad. So it's all about becoming mellow. I didn't mean to get on this train of thought but I think my recent vacation acted as a sort of "reset" button. It's me DH and DS and we're doing OK.
 
Wow Starry, you sound like a very wise woman tonight. Excellent.

You can for sure get in on this getting pregnant thing Eyemom. And yes, it is that easy!
 
Hi ladies!

MamaTex: Your little princess is so beautiful and even more your family. Y'all look so great together!!! Now u got me missing the whole BF!!! I wonder if I can squeeze something out of these jugs after not BF for 2 months :blush: . Take it easy love. My postpartum had hit me so hard I cried every night bc I was so freaking emotional and now when I look bk on it, I laugh bc I really had seemed like a crazy woman crying everywhere and holding my baby tight like everyone was against us. Haha, yea I was a bit crazy:blush: any who Enjoy and keep us posted on your little bundle of joy!

Starry: Hey I know how u feel, I've been there. So just know I'm rooting or you all the way!

BAMAGURL: WHEN ARE U GOING TO COME OUT OF STALKING...although it does make my heart glad to still see you liking the comments and still hanging around here. Other then me and Garfie I think we three are the only ones left posting from the old crew. Thanks for sticking Around!!

Hi to all the ladies!!!

AFM: AF has came in full throttle. No spotting or light spots with her. When she comes she makes sure you know she's here. So I've been crying sick all day even though I'm not but the emotions that comes with AF is enough to make me mentally sick to where my body starts believing it is sick also. So I just ate a whole 18 oz of peanut butter/wedding Cake frozen yogurt with Reese's pieces sprinkled everywhere and boy was it good and I don't feel the least bit faguilty(fat-guilty) bc IM SICK.

Goodnite ladies!
 
never - I am sorry you're not feeling well. Glad you enjoyed the yogurt. Sounds yummy!! It's hard not to feel "faguilty" (like that one!) but sometimes we simply need a treat.

I made "double brownies" the other day. It's a combination of chocolate and butterscotch brownies with caramel icing and chocolate drizzle. Yeah...they're delicious. I had two pieces today. :blush: I would totally eat 3 more pieces before bed but then I would feel badly about myself. I'm finally cracking down and trying to make healthier choices.
 
Never that sounds just delicious !!! And Starry any chance you could post some of them brownies to Ireland ???? Sound like they would be nice with a cuppa xxxxx
 
oh goodness never you just made me think about my post partum and laugh at myself. I'll have to ask dh what he thought of it. :haha:
 
So my husband has to be at the hospital in 30 min with his cup of junk and he's not even ready to start uhhh collecting his sample. And our daughter just woke up. Oh boy. Hope she can just play with her toys for a few....
 
Oh Eyemom! I can feel your anxiety from here! Hopefully he is well-rested and relaxed and will do his duty in a timely manner! Good luck!
 
Uhhh okay so he's out the door. With 12 min to make a 25 min drive. TMI alert: didn't seem like he got as much as usual, but it's hard to be normal under awkward circumstances I guess. So I don't know what they'll say about volume but hopefully everything else is good....

I'm sure you ladies just love getting the play by play, lol.
 
Eyemom, my DH doesn't produce very much sperm volume-wise, but as long as he saves it up for a couple days, he's got a good product quality-wise! I'm sure your man is the same! In the syringe we use, it's about 1.5 mL
 
Hee Hee I don't mind the play by play but your dh is quite a guy, mine would go mental if he knew I was telling people on the Internet about urm stuff like that.
Hope it all goes well for ya tho.

I am having a really bad day I feel soooo angry I just went out to get a loaf of bread and had so much road rage then nearly had a fight with a woman in the shop because I'm annoyed of being invisible! To everyone, other cars and people with trolleys and general pedestrians she just cut me up then said 'sorry' blatantly didn't mean it then when I shake my head at her she says 'what? I said sorry didn't I' I was so angry I wanted to slap her in her whole face!!!!
 
Starry: I think taking a mental and/or physical break when you want to is warranted. Nothing wrong with that. TTC is all consuming!!

never: When we are sick, I think our bodies won't suffer from treats!! I know I always make sure to eat and eat well when I am sick. Not being able to taste food doesn't stop me. Heheh. Hope you get to feeling better though!!!

eyemom: I do not think your response to one of your patients was in the wrong. People pry and offer advice without you soliciting it all the time. Perhaps your encounter with this person will save other people the heart ache and awkward moment when people make certain comments. As for the play by plays, I do not mind them at all!! I just think of it as Sex Ed: Extended Version.

Pink: People can be so rude!! I had bad road rage when I was pregnant. I don't like driving much around the city as it is, but it was unbearable when I was pregnant lol.

AFM: Nothing too new to report. Feeling pretty good a week and a few days post C section.
 
Haha well he doesn't know details of what I tell people on here. I feel kind of bad because he probably wouldn't appreciate it. :-\ The partial anonymity of the internet helps. I'm just so nervous. I'm just afraid if they say there's a volume issue they won't want to pursue other things. And I know he normally does at least half again, maybe double what went in that cup. But if I tell them that, would they even believe me? I'm afraid they'd be like well it looks different in a cup or something. But I know what it typically looks like coming out.... Ahhhh but I'm getting ahead of myself. He just dropped it off maybe 15 min ago or so.

Nah, volume doesn't mean much! don't worry! My husband doesn't give much and they take it every time. His SA was good despite the low volume.

And Yeah, my DH has NO idea I'm talking about all this on the internet. Well, maybe he suspects it, but does it look like he gives a shit about what anyone thinks? LOL!

OH By the way, I got a SOLID SMILEY on my Clearblue ovulation test this morning! We did our thing last night and will again tomorrow (DH needs a day in between to recharge the swimmers or the quality goes down). I hope that does the trick! Come on, viable egg!! Mama wants a ...well, Mama wants to BE a mama! Come on down!
 
Woo hoo! Go Kat and Mr Kat!

pink, sorry you're not having a good day. :( surely it'll be uphill from here

mamatex, thank you. :) Your new avatar photo makes me so happy :) :)

AFM (well, aside from adventures with DH this morning), my insomnia that usually goes away after a new cycle begins...is not going away. :( I am sometimes kinda lax with temping for those first couple of days of AF, but I need to start getting some good temps now. But this morning I woke up at 4 am and had a fight with the sheets. So no temp this morning. :P
 
Pink, I hope your day gets better!! I have road rage and I'm not even pregnant!

Eyemom, sorry about the insomnia :( I hope you get some well-deserved rest!!
 
Thanks ladies my day has gotten better I had a man round to measure up the nursery and I've ordered the carpet so that's exciting, just need to finish painting now I have 1 wall left to do hooray.

Eye I'm sure there was plenty it's not about volume it's about quality right?

Kat, good luck to this cycle this is the one I'm sure!

Mama glad your feeling good and things are going well with baby sky!

Omg I'm one week away from the 3rd trimester that's exciting and scares the shit outta me! I feel so unprepared for it all!
