Kat I'm crossing all my fingers and toes!

 

[eyemom]

Oop I keep bringing up the page then typing a response later. Then I miss stuff.

I'm 11 dpo and my LP is 13-14 days. So AF should arrive Wed/Thurs.

After I made that post about being out because of the insomnia, I must have felt like wasting a dollar because I did a test. BFN of course.

GL garfie!

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - good luck with your scan.

garfie - good luck. Would taking progesterone affect your temps at all? Hope you simply have a shy beanie and a positive will show up soon.

eyemom - it does seem a bit early to be getting a positive. I know you say that insomnia is a AF sign for you so let's hope your body is simply in habit of that and a bfp is coming. Though I understand wanting to prepare yourself.

afm - yesterday I felt I had a chance. Today I feel I am out. My 'out' days are outnumbering my hopeful days so that probably means I am out. I really hate the TWW.

 

[eyemom]

I hear you about hating the tww! I'm still holding out hope for you!

I know in my head that 11 dpo is early. My last two pregnancies, I got my bfp on 12 dpo. I know it all depends on when implantation occurs though.

Sometimes I wish I would just stop with the early testing. But in some ways it seems helpful. I see the bfn and I am crushed and discouraged but I can start thinking about other things and I can have a better attitude about it by the time AF arrives. Idk.

Thanks for staying positive for me!

 

[MamaTex]

Sweetz: Hope you got that website done

never: Sorry if you answered this question before, but what are you in school for?

ESwemba: Good luck with your interview.

Pink: If I could have had a water birth at home, I definitely would have!! Then again, with all the pets I have I am sure it would have ended up comical. My kitten would probably try to bonk me on the head while I was in the water and one of my dogs or perhaps both would probably want to jump in. So glad things are moving along for you!

Kat: Sorry AF got you. Wishing you the best next cycle and hoping there are no cysts to get in your way. Cysts be gone!!!

mowat: Hooray for ovulation! Get it girl

garfie: I have the same question as Starry. I do wonder if the progesterone would affect your temps. GL! I will pop in tomorrow to see the testing result.

eyemom: Don't feel bad about wasting a dollar. Better to waste a dollar than to go crazy wondering! Also, did you ever determine if you had a yeast infection or not?

Starry: The TWW should really be renamed Feels Like Eternity Wait because it really does drag! Even though you feel out, Good luck!!

AFM: Nothing exciting going on around here. I took Sky in for a weight check last week and she is a little over her birth weight finally (She was 6.5 when born and this past Tuesday she was 6.65). She is small, but she is starting to pick up her head even more and shows signs of being very alert so I am not too worried. I am however undecided what I want to do about breast feeding. Sky is latching on fine but her weight gain has been slow and aided with supplementation. I did manage to meet with a lactation consultant from WIC this week and got a pump, so we will see how that goes. Wishing I could go more places with her but in Texas there has been a reported increase in RSV and whooping cough so I don't care to take her out very much, unless it is to a doctor's appointment or to the grocery store. I am enjoying motherhood overall. Sky is my new best friend. Even though she cannot talk, I feel we have our own unspoken language.

 

[Starry Night]

Mama - I love how you say you and Sky have a special language and are best friends. It really is an encouraging thing to know that bonding is going well. Is there any way to check your milk supply? I'm not sure how doctors check that but if your LO is latching well and sucking well I would wonder why she's not gaining. But then, that could just be how she is. My friend has a LO who is over a year old and is maybe 16 pounds. My friend's doctors had been giving her such a hard time about her LO's weight but she eats just fine, is hitting all her developmental milestones and all sorts of tests came back normal. Some kids are just petite (my friend's LO still wears size one diapers).

eyemom - This morning I realized that I am the type that needs to keep hope alive during my tww. If I feel 'out' then I have two weeks to be sad and depressed that AF is going to come and it's going to be another loooong cycle for me to try again. Yes, keeping that hope alive means AF is that more devastating but it also signals a new beginning and within a day or two I'm looking ahead to the next cycle. I'd rather take one really sad day over two weeks of feeling grumpy.

I'm crossing my fingers for you!

 

[eyemom]

Mama, I don't think it was a yeast infection. The itchiness was intermittent and today it's totally gone. Glad to see your LO is gaining.

Starry, that makes sense. I'm always hopeful until around 10-13dpo. So it's not like a whole two weeks of negativity. I just can't handle suspense. Then I just end up getting my grieving process out of the way a few days sooner, more or less. I don't know, that seems to be how it works for me. Or it's just the inability to handle suspense and I'm trying to justify it in my mind, heh.

I'm the same way! I'm all gung-ho for the first week, and then I start to lose it as I begin to recognize the pre AF symptoms. But when you know, you know. Then by the time AF arrives, I'm prepared and ready for it. Getting used to it/accepting it a few days in advance helps me handle the bad news.

Thanks all for the well wishes! I hope they call me back soon. I left another message a few minutes ago. I'm hoping to go in today.

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies!!

Kat S: sorry that AF had to show her face but this will be a brand new start to a BFP, hope all the cyst stay away.

Eye mom: My FX. That's the whole point of TWW(TERRIBLY WORRYING WAITING) My FX for you!! Don't lose hope!

Starry: I hope you have a surprise!! Feeling out is normal but to find a positive hpt is after it is a wonderful outcome! FX!!

Mamatex: I am in school for Nursing, I'm in my program so studying all day and night. I took a semester out to be with my son and I'm glad I did. Nothing is more important then watching and bonding with your LO. Glad to hear Sky has grown, and I agree with starry some babies growth are slower then others esp. if you're aiding with formula. I know it's hard not to worry, but I do hope she gains. And if its any reassurance my LO lost .5 oz of his birthweight the first week he was out and most babies do. She's hitting her milestones then she's fine but I understand the weight thing, just do what you do best, being her mother and her bestfriend

Pink: Glad to hear the crutches are helping you out, now maybe the rest if this pregnancy will run smoothly.....well we can hope right

Garfie: FX for today's testing.

Hi to Lisalee

Hi to Sweetz

Hi Lpjkp

Hi to mackjess

Hi to leftwonderin

Hi to all the ladies here and afar!

AFM: School is keeping me pretty busy then my LO is more active then ever before which is awesome. Not much on my end just dropping in to wish everyone GOOD LUCK!!

 

[ESwemba84]

Eyemom, hope you get a positive today!

Mama, I'm glad Sky gained a little weight. I know it has to be stressful, but I'm glad you are trying to stay relaxed.

Starry, I hope you feel 'in' today! Good luck.

Garfie, sorry about your bfn. Hope it turns positive!

Kat, sorry AF came. Hopefully no cysts, and IUI this cycle!

Everyone else, hi!

AFM, I met with my RE on Friday. She's recommending a hysteroscopy and then injectable fertility drugs. She wants to make sure there are no polyps or scarring. I asked her why my estrogen is so low. Without actually saying premature ovarian failure or early menopause, she told me it usually means there is a problem with the ovaries. Everything I've read keeps pointing to ovarian failure. It's hard to explain to people who tell me "oh you're 29, you're so young, you have plenty of time!" why that doesn't exactly apply to me. So usually I just smile and nod.

I've been crampy for a few days, so AF should be gracing me with her presence in the next few days.

 

[Kat S]

Garfie, good luck with your test today!! Stay away, AF!!

AFM, I finally heard back from the FS office. Of course they have no appts available this morning, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Grrrrr!

I ALWYAS get my period on a weekend, and my stupid follicles keep maturing on a weekend. The office is only half staff on Saturday (so no lab) and closed on Sunday. Can't my body EVER do it's thing on a Tuesday or Wed??

 

[eyemom]

Aww ES that's so frustrating. That's something I've wondered about for myself but I don't know if it's just too much googling. Just because I went a couple of cycles recently with mid-cycle bleeding and I think that can be from low estrogen. Anyway, GL as you proceed.

I ended up not testing today since I did it yesterday and I got up early with dd (thunderstorm) and didn't catch my fmu. Didn't temp again for same reason...she needed me RIGHT THEN and it was already an hour before my usual temping time.

On the plus side, I did sleep well through the night until she got me up. Unless I see a temp drop in the morning, I'll probably test tomorrow.

 

[Starry Night]

Good luck, eyemom!

afm - caved and took a test at 10dpo. I wasn't going to tell dh about it because I knew he would scold me for doing it too early but I ended up telling him after all because I got my bfp!!!! I'm super scared yet there is happiness too.

 

[Kat S]

Good luck, eyemom!

OMG, STARRY!!! I wanna see!! Can you post your test? Oh, I'm so excited!!!

 

[eyemom]

Ahhh Starry I'm so happy for you! I had a feeling with some of the things you were saying. Weren't you the one telling me yesterday I was too early with testing 11 dpo? It would be cool if we could be bump buddies but I really think if I were gonna get a bfp, I would have gotten it yesterday.

Praying it's sticky sticky sticky!

 

[Starry Night]

I know, I'm a hypocrite. Some buddies on another thread were pressuring me to test and I was just really curious and kind of sad and wanted to get it over with.

I wasn't able to get an early bfp with the pregnancies I lost so I'm hoping this is a good sign.

Kat - I'll post a photo if the other ladies are OK with it too. I don't know how to put spoiler tags around an attachment.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh starry yey congrats!!! I'm soooo pleased for you please stick baby bean!!!

All the other ladies in the tww sorry it's hideous I remember those days, they drag forever and saying 'try to not think about it' really doesn't help.

Glad sky has put on a lil weight like others have said perhaps she'll just be petite if she's alert enough and hitting milestones then it's fine right.

Thanks girls, I feel like such an idiot being on crutches but it'll all be worth it I guess, like they say nothing worth having is easy, all of you remember that too.
Mama no way would I have a home birth water or otherwise unless I really CAN'T make it to hospital I need to be around medical professionals lol
Someone at work today asked me why I was on crutches so I said I have SPD she said 'ooh that's bad, how much longer do you have?' I said 11 weeks and she replied 'will you make it?' I'm like urm I don't have any other choice I can't change my mind duh! But I am wondering whether ill be offered induction early due to the SPD hmm.

 

[garfie]

Starry - Of course we are okay with you putting up your test pic I am so damned pleased for you and it goes without saying I have my fingers tightly crossed for you hun

I was hoping to join you - but I guess at 15DPO and another BFN it's time to come of the progesterone and let her come if by some miracle I am pregnant I just hope I have enough progesterone built up in my system to see me through

I reckon though she will be here soon - are you going to be on progesterone Starry or has something else been discussed for you

[eyemom]

I'm okay with seeing it! Was it a faint one or a dark one?
