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

[ESwemba84]

Garfie, I joined this group over a year ago......and I'm still running!

Sweetz, I also have DDD.....it is so painful.

I'm doing a 3rd round of physical therapy starting next week, and also getting a discogram, which is apparently an unpleasant test. If the discogram confirms that the discs are causing the pain, and physical therapy fails to relieve the pain (which I'm guaranteeing it will fail, as it has already not worked.....twice) I'm moving towards having the surgery.

 

[mowat]

Sorry Garfie if my last message sounded flippant, I didn't mean it to sound that way. D'oh! Let's try again... When do you normally ovulate? Do you think you have already? Hmm, weird temperatures. Any signs making you think you haven't yet?

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies,

Garfie: O Garfie I apologize if I made you feel a. Certain way but hear me when I say, I'm still on this thread bc I lost 3 babies. And like you I had one fighter that fought through (I know you have 2)and I just pray that when we are ready for # 2 that we don't have to struggle and cry and fight for that one although I'm afraid we will. I think I'm more excited just talking and dreaming about another baby and Not trying then trying and it's not happening when my time comes. Again I'm sorry Garfie but don't worry I'm still here with you and I will be Lord willing until you get your Sticky BFP P.S.: I always look forward to seeing you post and lurking, to know you're still here with me and the other ladies who was here in the beginning keeps me going on and to see the new ladies and once new ladies now old like us still here posting makes me excited to post. I look forward to seeing you post Garfie. When is AF due?

Lisalee: Ok ok bc you told me I will stop bajoring my DH. But we all know it's never an accident when you're one of us...a TTC ADDICT

Mamatex: So glad to hear that sky is growing, Yayyyy! Also I had tried the mothers tea not sure if it made a difference, I also used fenugreek for milk production, I heard great reviews but when I bought it I was ready to give BF up.

SWEETZ: Hahahahhha You are a mess!! We definitely blame it on the cat!! That frog was so funny!! I walked outside my door last week and a dead frog was in front of my door...And then the next day my AF came to town!!! Yep it was the FROG! And then I saw a live one hopping pass my door last night....for fear of AF coming back I scared it into the bushes before the neighborhood cat could kill it.....That frog owe me! And YOU BETTER SANG THAT SONG GIRL!!!

Mowat: YAYY one more cycle...then it's everywhere!! If you don't post in a while we all know you went fishing for little sperm men and FX that that their biting and you catch 2!!

Eswemba: It hurts my heart to see you're going through all this. I'm so sorry. What are you hoping for? Do u want to go through the back surgery?

Pinkcasi: A Christmas baby!! How awesome that will be!!! I got my FX that she comes when she's ready and when you're ready for her!! And I wish I could've had skin to skin with my son as soon as I delivered but that card wasn't in my deck of cards so I was asleep for hours until I finally woke up histerically wondering where he was at and all I could see was a picture of him on my DH phone that he took while I was unconscious That moment was taken from me so I hope yours go just how you want it, I'm sure it's no better feeling then to hold your child right away. Is the nursery all finished?

Kat S: did you find out the supplements? Will certain foods or teas increase his sperma count?

AFM:

Oh never you do crack me up your frog story made me chuckle, then your birth story made me cry I'm sorry you didn't get to hold babba straight away I really want to but if it's not to be for some reason then I'll settle for her just being healthy and here! That's the most important thing, I keep dreaming about it labour, giving birth holding her fir the first time and it's just so weird like a far off dream I can't imagine it happening for real, me with a baby nah surely not.
The nursery has been on hold for a bit the furniture is here but it needs assembling my oh has 3 days off next week so were going to tackle it then then I can wash everything and put it away, the SPD has been so bad that I've been unable to do even the little things like fitting the door stop.

Hope everyone is good today sorry I'm not doing personals.
Xxxxx

 

[nevergivingup]

Pinkcasi: Glad I can be of service to you whatever gets you smiling and mind off the pain is Great but then I made u cry....darn was not my intention but in this case can we blame you crying on the FROG I say those Frog control hormones too And I do agree with as long as she's here and healthy that's truly all that matters Pink. Gosh dosent that moment of holding her or rather pushing her out seem so strange, it just can't be real that this baby in your stomach will actually leave her home in there and be in your arms but it will happen and soon. And yea I can understand waiting in DH, once I got in my 30ish weeks, I was too tired and in too much pain for anything, I'm sure it'll get done just relax and enjoy these last few weeks wobbling around bc you're going to be back to yourself....of course after post partum if you have any, but soon.

Hi ladies

 

[garfie]

Quick update at work

Missed my eggy

Negative opk



X

 

[nevergivingup]

O no Garfie did u DTD during any of those positive opks u had or DTD the days before? Maybe some was still was hanging around...it only takes 1.

 

[Kat S]

Garfie, I hope you and OH got in a session within the window somehow. That is super frustrating to miss the egg. I thought we were going to miss it this month myself, so I know that anxiety.

 

[Kat S]

Today I'm 7dpiui. Man, I hate this part of the TWW. I'm really close to finding out, but still too early to test. Thank god I have a friend coming over tomorrow for sewing or I'd be on the forums half the day staring at other people's lucky symptom-filled TWWs while I sit here without a twinge.

 

[lisalee1]

Garfie,
hoping you got a little BD in during your window. For most people, I think the window is 2-3 days. So I'm hoping you got a little action before the eggy came . Based on my research online, they say it's best for the sperm to be there waiting on the egg rather than DTD after the egg is released b/c the egg only lasts 24 hrs max and the sperm can take hours (about 12) to get there. Anyway, I'm rambling b/c you've heard this all before. Good luck!

Never,
It's interesting that you talked about the Fenugreek. See below.

Mamatex & Never,
I bought Fenugreek too when I was having problems producing milk. I would only get about 1 oz out of each side. I bought Fenugreek, but like you never, I was about ready to give up. Which I did after a few days. Mamatex. I hope the Mama's Tea works out for you. Keep us posted. Maybe I'll try that next time around.

Never, how long did you BF? I think I tried for about 3 weeks. Felt like a complete failure when it didn't work out. Had a crying session and everything. But I told myself that the most important thing is that my baby drinks milk and is healthy. So it was just something I had to accept.

Pink, what's your due date again? Looks like you're having a Christmas baby! How exciting!

Kat- We're all hoping this was your month. It's good that you will have something to keep you occupied tomorrow.

 

[Starry Night]

never - I didn't get to hold my little one right away either. DH took some photos of his first moments otherwise I missed it all. Though Dh wasn't in the room when DS came into world. We jokingly say we have to trust that the doctors gave us the right child.

garfie - I hope you were able to catch the egg in spite of the negative opks. I know I conceived one of my bfps when we only dtd once about 5 days before. Good luck.

Kat - I hope you can distract yourself until it's time to test.

lisa - BF'ing didn't work for me either. It sounds mean, but I think DS is the main reason. He wanted the milk to just pour into him without having to work for it. He just refused to suck more than 5 minutes at a time. In the end using a bottle was the best decision. I had tried pumping for awhile but I"m one of those ladies who can't pump. I would pump for 40 minutes after a feed and only get 5mL. Sometimes I still feel a little guilty but I have to let it go. DS is happy and healthy and I really am starting to forget he was bottle fed. He is no different from his friends who were breast fed.

afm - still just mucking about in first tri. I have had some brown spotting so taking it really, REALLY easy now. Even sitting I find too painful so I am stretched out as much as possible. The nausea isn't as bad though most foods still are not very appetizing. I have an early scan on the 15th so just trying to hold on until then. To be honest, I am getting very sick of the whole baby-making world and just want to put this all behind me. Dh and I have agreed that if I lose this one we are most likely done. Or at the very least, taking a long break.

 

[garfie]

Hi Ladies

Please don't worry about upsetting me - I have broad shoulders and you don't get to the ripe young age of 42 without taking a few knocks

We did manage to DTD a few times - but my hubby is under pressure with his business at the mo - so they are spaced out sessions (hope they did the trick). The reason why I think I missed it - look at the crappy temps (yes I was taking them properly) no sign of O - all those pos opks (almost like my body tried really hard) and then today a big fat negative Opk (time up) of course I know there is the slimmest chance the egg snuck down without me realising and has already had it's date - whether it was a good one or not I guess I will know in a few weeks. That's the other thing FF has me on DPO if we go by temps alone - how?? and Finally if not I guess I will be in the TWW again

Mowat - where are you going on holiday? you weren't flippant no worries - before this last DNC I used to always O early - I guess my body has maybe changed

Never - Wakey wakey no you didn't upset me - sometimes I just feel it, most of the time I can get on with it and keep busy according to FF AF is due Tuesday - but who knows I also never saw my son straight away and them days they didn't have mobile phones

Lisa - I know I'm not out fully - I'm just disappointed by my temps, my body etc but I guess I have to be patient - one thing though as I've been POAS for OPKs I haven't POAS for HPT With my first I BF for under a month it was so hard and I felt a failure, however with my second it was so much easier and I BF for over 3 months - you are not as stressed, anxious with the 2nd one.

Kat - Sorry you're still in the race - maybe we will hit the finish line together, how is the hunt for supplements going Enjoy your sewing tomorrow

Mama - Hi - lovely to hear about sky and how she is growing

Sweetz - poor cat - hope she's not kicking your ass (AF not cat) have you sorted out your chart yet - or is it only me who can't view

Pink - Relax for the next few weeks hun and take it easy - she will be here before you know it - both of mine I never got to hold straight away, but it didnt matter because as soon as I did it was love at first sight. What matters hun is not how she gets here but that she is fit and healthy and that's where resting up will help now. It's a bit surreal when they arrive as well and you can't stop staring at them. I'm sure all the mums would agree

Starry - Still got my fingers crossed for you - I think the more pregnancies you have the more painful the experience don't you agree? - hope you can find some foods that are more apetizing for you hun

Esw - Sorry to hear about your back - I've had a few slipped discs but nothing like you are going through

Eye - How are you doing hun?

[Pinkcasi]

Garfie, hope you did catch the egg maybe you just missed the surge, i know ive said it a hundred times but the month I fell this time we only dtd once during my fertile week, I thought there's no way that month and hey presto!
I hope it goes as I envision it, as long as she's here and my oh is there and she doesn't break me then we'll be fine.
Starry, you keep up the good work your doing great! I don't blame you being a bit over it now all the trying is exhausting you deserve a nice rest you can have that during this pregnancy!!

Lisa I'm due on 4th dec, they're talking about inducing at 40 weeks if I go that far so either which way she will be here for Xmas, we have a big Xmas day planned with the family, going out for dinner with my folks, sister and her family, my auntie and uncle who will be over from Spain and my cousins so loads of people for cuddles.

Afm I went to see the physio today we talked about labour positions, I feel a little calmer now, she's ordering me a special brace thing that you wear and it supports bump to take the weight off my pelvis as the tubey grip isn't really helping, it's good but going to take a few weeks to arrive.
I should get a letter about antenatal classes soon as well so that'll help the anxiety too.

 

[Sweetz33]

Hey there ladies!

I will hopefully get all the posts to the right people lol

Garfie: I will keep f'x that you caught the eggy....those little fudgers can be sneaky. I dunno but I re-did chart completely so I think it works now. Anyone??

Never: Yeah....cats....lol She was banned to the bathroom last night bc I caught her using my sofa as a scratching post....GRRRR

*ack!!! brain freeeeeeze!!!* Sorry, drinking a Mocha Frappe lol *ouch*

Let us continue lol...

ES: DDD is a witch with a B. I don't take pain pills anymore, I try to do things holistically. They suggested surgery for me years ago, but I refused. I hope the pain eases up.

PINK PINK PINK!!! ALMOST THERE!!! I was able to do skin2skin with my son, but my daughter I couldn't. It wasn't right away though. They cleaned him up then s2s, which kinda pissed me off but oh well. I am praying for an easy delivery for you.

Kat F'X that this was your month and you caught that eggy!!!!

Starry: I am praying for you that you have a super glue sticky bean! Hubby and I were saying we were done after Xan bc it was an EXTREMELY difficult pregnancy, spotting from 6wks up until the end, pre-term labor at 32wk, reoccuring UTIs, kidney infection....but I took it easy and now we have our little boy and are trying for one more! Stay hopefully sweety. *hugs*

AFM: Did a little food shopping.....and landed up buying food for everyone BUT me. WTF?! lol I got dog food, dog bicuits, dog toy.....baby food up the wazoo, baby finger snacks, formula.....and a BUNCH of junk food. UGH......I guess I will be going back again later to get my veggie patties and fruit eh? HAHA!! That is what happens when you shop w/o a list and with a distracting 7mo old. Oh well, at least everyone is happy which means NO ONE COMPLAINING!!! YAY!!! hehehe

On day 2 of the witch and yeah...is it time for her to leave yet? Please? Hubby asked me the funniest thing today. I was taking my temp this morning and after I finished and went into the bathroom, he asked aren't there any sticks you can pee onto instead of taking your temp every day? I started laughing and said yes dear the are called OPK, but I still need to take my temp and check things. He said ok...then got real quiet. I asked him if he was ok...no answer. I poked my head out of the bathroom and the silly goober was taking his temp!! I was like um hunny, wtf are you doing. He just looked at me and said my temp is 97.83 is that ok? I died laughing!!!! He thought HE needed to take his temp every day too and has been for almost a week now!! HAHAHA!!! Silly boys!!!!

 

[lisalee1]

OMG Sweetz! That is tooooooooo funny!

 

[mowat]

Oh my goodness Sweetz, I hope he had the thermometer in his mouth! Oh my!

No great vacation for me unfortunately, although it's nice to get away anywhere. I'm going to Alberta to a dog show with a friend for a long weekend. Hopefully my cycles will be back to normal and I'll be ovulating just after we get back (November 5th or so).

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies!!

SWEETZ: Soooo funny!! Seems like your DH got it down pack now if bolt they can carry these invaders for 9 months or even better take our TTC stress away And you're back in those mocha frappes!! SWEETZ you know we were both addicted in our earlier days NOW I WANT A MOCHA FRAPPE DARNIT SWEETZ yea I never go to the store w/o a list anymore bc it's dangerous!! I'll end up picking up everything probably even another customer just bc I thought they were on sale too . Is Xan eating the little snacks out the container? Bc I haven't started DS on them yet for fear of him choking...that's just my phobia. YAYY SWEETZ trying for another one

Lisalee: I bF for 4 months and then my milk slowed up and it took longer to pump and once I introduced him to the easy flowing bottle he didn't want to work hard off my nipple anymore so he would fuss when I tried to latch him on which he always did well with but he was too lazy to work for it so I had to pump mostly and with my milk drying up it was stressing me out to the point where I hardly got anything so I just stopped. But I'm sure it was from me stressing.

Garfie: I am awakened Glad to hear that you haven't thrown me away YAYY, I seriously don't know what I would do If I ever got Garfie sad or mad I'm sure I would take it out on my DH for a couple of days....and all he'll keep asking is...."Your cycle coming on or something?" So thanks for sparing his life Garfie and I know you hear these things about DTD around "O" a million times but you may be surprise this cycle. For I see it's not hard for you to get pregnant like me it's more of holding on to our babies. So let's knock this part out the way for and get to the hard part...I know easier said then done and you're so funny about that mobile phone joke... Hahaha well I guess I should be grateful eh.

Pink: Your little girl is giving you a run for your money huh. She is definitely making you work for her. Which I know it will all be worth it when she comes!

Starry: Sorry to hear about the bleeding I know that feeling, it'll scare you from even breathing for fear of more blood. But I know brown blood is ok so just rest and take it easy and wait for that little rainbow baby to show. And don't count your baby as a m/c already. You may go to full term and will be holding your baby healthy and all. Don't count yourself out this is your miracle baby give s/he a chance. FX for you!

Kat S: I hope your friend coming over took your mind off. That TWW will fly by no not really but I hope it do. And I Soooo hope you got it this time.im already ready for you to test but don't pay any attention to me..I'll test just because it's raining outside that's how crazy I am over TTC. I hope we can keep you a little busy.

Mowat: Hope you enjoy the dog show.

Hi to all the ladies!!

AFM:

 

[eyemom]

Some of these comments intended for garfie are giving me a bit of hope too. I don't know WHAT is going on. I'm still having a wonky cycle but I did get a +opk 3 days ago. Got in some well-timed BD so I was feeling pretty good about it. Then yesterday morning my temp went up high enough that it has ALWAYS meant I've ovulated. Was still going to try to DTD last night for good measure b/c it was still within 48 hours of my +opk, but we got to bed so late and we figured we were good. But then today my temp went down again! I've never geared up to O and then not...but I guess there's a first time for everything? Hoping I did indeed ovulate, but we got to dtd this evening just in case. Ughhh I just want to know if I really did ovulate or not. But my temps have been so up and down, I don't know if I'm going to get pretty crosshairs this cycle or not.

Garfie, I hate confusing cycles! That's a lot of days to have a +OPK. And then temp still down.... Hmm.... Is it possible your body kept on trying to ovulate and then it just didn't? So maybe you haven't actually ovulated yet? Or are you pretty sure?

Kat! The suspense! I'm crossing all my fingers and toes!

I never did fenugreek but I did do the Mother's Milk tea. I liked it better than the supplements (which did include fenugreek along with some other things), and I thought it was actually quite tasty. I was lucky and after I got through those first few weeks, we breastfed easily. But I had to pump at work. And after my cycles started back up again, it would take FOREVER for me to get a let-down for my pump, and as the work week went on, it was hard for me to get enough. It worked out though. Mama are you exclusively pumping or are you pumping in addition to breastfeeding? It may have been said but I missed it.

Starry, hope the spotting is fleeting and you are feeling good soon.

Got a good chuckle out of sweetz's hubby temping. My 2.5 yo has found my basal thermometer and she said it goes in her butt. LOL Thankfully she hasn't ACTUALLY attempted to put it there.

Ahhhh I haven't gotten to address everyone, SORRY. I promised hubby I'd be in bed like...10 min ago. So gotta cut it short.

FX and prayers said for everyone!

 

[eyemom]

I have no patience to type on my Kindle. But.

Cross hairs!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[garfie]

Eye - go girl go

AFM - After having a Neg Opk yesterday today I get a POS - I have come to the conclusion I am broken
