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

[Starry Night]

In the past I've definitely allowed myself a fancy drink after getting a bfn. We don't keep drinks in the house but if we're at a restaurant I like to order something fruity with a bit of kick. I mean, now I can't....which is fine as I only ever drink once or twice a year anyways...but if ladies feel the need to indulge over the holidays I highly endorse that!

I am sorry about all the bfns.

Wow only once or twice a year huh?! I am a nightly wine drinker (have cut way back though in the last 6 months) but one glass a night of red is perfectly healthy. I always find it crazy when people don't drink. That's because i'm a lush. He, he...

I'm just not a big drinker, I guess. I am fairly religious and drinking is a controversial topic in my church. Some people think it's outright wrong so I figure it's easier to not have any in the house. I will sometimes order something at a restaurant but I'm cheap so I don't do it often (I like the fancy, costlier stuff). ha ha

mowat - the TWW is so hard. Any potential sign can also have other explanations so it's so torturous, isn't it? I'm crossing my fingers that this is it for you! And yeah, pregnancy after multiple losses is hard. I'm driving my dh nutty with how much I worry. Every day I find something new to stress about.

brunette - oh, your post breaks my heart. I think we've all been at that point TTC after a loss. I often imagine my dh blaming me for the losses. He doesn't and gets upset that I would ever think that, but often I feel any normal person would blame me. But the truth is, it is no one's fault. You're not broken. And if taking a break helps you get some peace and control into your life then you do what you need to. I hope the rest of the day starts to look up for you.

unexpected - it sounds like you're getting the start of a bfp!! It all sounds very, very promising. I can't wait for any updates!

Pink the first 6 weeks is the hardest but I promise it gets better. Make sure your hubby know how your feeling because bottling it up can only make things worse. Have you tried waking her in the day to feed? Try fill her up throughout the day?

Unexpected what's today's test like?

AFM - Feeling better, had a massive cry yesterday then went to my works do and ended up getting very drunk. Typically looks like I ovulated yesterday too! Just hoping my temperature is accurate enough. I went to bed about midnight ish then woke at 2 for a wee. Went back to sleep and woke again at 5.10am for a wee so took my temp. I usually temp around 6am. I was quite restless too so hoping it's not effected it to much!

The top one was 10dpo in the morning

The second one is this morning 11 dpo

As you can see the first one was a squinter but theres no mistaking this mornings!

Still scared to get my hopes up

Can I just say thank you so much to you ladies. You've helped me feel so much more calm about everything and your kind words and congratulations mean the world to me.

Unexpected there is clear progression there this was the start of my BFP at 10dpo as you can see a real squinter but now a LO due to arrive in 8 weeks

I think Santa brought you an early gift

 

[brunettebimbo]

Yayyyy so happy for you!

 

[Unexpected212]

Thanks ladies. Keep everything crossed for me and this bean!

 

[DSemcho]

Congrats on the BFP!

AFM- Got AF yesterday at work, so I should I between 31DEC and 4JAN. Not sure if I'm gonna get to DTD during my O period cause DH is going to the states for 3 weeks for school that is starting on 6JAN. But now AF is due roughly the 16th/17th of Jan.

Unexpected: Congrats on the BFP!!

Pink: The first 6 weeks ARE hard. You are doing great mama!! In the first few days, Sky slept a lot and then the cluster feeding started. She woke up so much at night, but eventually she started waking up after longer intervals. I second waking her up if she goes too long between feedings. In the first few weeks, it can be hard to get them to wake up but sometimes, babies just want to cluster feed. It is very exhausting. Some babies are hard to put down and so it can make it hard to find a minute for yourself, but if you need to, put her down and make yourself a sandwich or a snack. You want to make sure you take care of yourself. Are you still taking your vitamins? This was recommended to me by the WIC counselors. The vitamins are more for you than the baby. If you have someone you can call to come over and help, do that. Taking care of a baby for the first time (hell, any time imo) in the early days can be overwhelming and there is nothing wrong with accepting help. I found that showers really helped me relieve stress and feel better during the day. I just put the baby in her bouncer and bring her into the bathroom with me. She likes looking at the steam and will sometimes fall asleep. I am sorry things are so hard. You might want to talk to your doctor about PPD sooner than later if things get too intense. No shame in it! Many women have it and there are ways to help treat it. I know how it is to be at home all the time by yourself with just the baby. My husband works 12+hours a day, 6 days a week so it can get lonely but if you have the means and energy to get out for just a walk, do that!! Fresh air does wonders.

 

[pinkribbon]

Can I come and join in? AF would be due 8.01.14

 

[Pinkcasi]

Unexpected, yey!!!! Congrats that's amazing really happy for you I know it's worrying but try to not fret.

Thanks mama I'm feeling better today my oh is off today for a few days we went out for lunch today so that was so nice, Stella slept the whole time.

I have to figure out when to wake her she's been asleep for 3.15 hours so far and a friend of my oh is here so I can't really wake her to feed, she just said how it's late and she'll have to go soon cos she's tired and I'm like omg please go away!!!! Your tired you have no idea!!!!

I talked to my oh this morning and had a cry for no reason he's lovely bless him it's just so hard.
I do worry about post natal depression as I suffer with depression I know I'm more likely to be effected, I think im just overwhelmed by it all, I think if I just keep an eye on my moods and be careful.

I've been in touch with a friend of mine who has a 6 month old, I didn't appreciate how she struggled, she kept it to herself but she's willing to be there for me now and I'm so grateful, it's just nice to know I'm not on my own. Thanks fir all the support I know this isn't really the thread for this but without you ladies I don't know what is do.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi pink its great to hear from you boy aren't you doing well even getting out to lunch !! I'm expecting to be housebound for weeks lol !!!! All my love to you and Stella xxxxxxxx

 

[Tricia173]

Congrats unexpected! That is fantastic news!!!!!

 

[sailorsgirl]

Congratulations unexpected!! Fantastic news!! Xxx

 

[Unexpected212]

Hey Ladies

I think it's bad news. Got a super faint positive 9dpo evening. Faint 10dpo in the morning. A lot clearer 11dpo in the morning. SLIGHTLY more positive today at 12 dpo

BUT I got a negative digital and I'm cramping badly like AF is coming

Think I'm out

 

[brunettebimbo]

Digitals are not that sensitive Hun. I didn't get a positive until AF was 2 weeks late with Tristan. Cramping is normal too. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you.

 

[Left wonderin]

Unexpected your not out till AF shows . Brunette is right cramping is normal and digs not always sensitive especially 12 DPO . I know waiting is hard but maybe don't test for a couple of days xxxx
