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

[Mariahs Mom]

*slowly walks in the room*

Hey ladies! I know, I have been MIA....I am so sorry. I hope everyone is doing well. Congrats to the BFPs, and luck and dust to those trying!!

AFM...I landed up in the ER last night. I went in for cramping and severe back pain. Baby is fine according to ultrasound, so real worries there. They did find multiple stones in my kidneys which is causing the back pain. As for the cramping...that is where it gets weird. They are sending my to an OB specialist for a few reasons.

1.They are confused by my hCG levels as they are saying for my gestation (14/5) it is kinda high.
2. My kidney function is not at 100% due to the stones.
3. The lyme disease worries them as it is transmittable to the baby.
4. The cramps I am feeling are actually Braxton Hicks. I looked at US tech and was like Yeah, right. She said no...you can see it right here. *sigh*

So now I get to travel over an hour every week to a specialist OB in the nearest big city. At least I know I am getting the best care I can. Hubby and I have decided this will be our last child and I will be getting my tubes tied. My health can no longer handle pregnancy. It has become very apparent to both of us. It is already a struggle with this lil one, and most of y'all know about the troubles I went through with Xan.

Well, I will end this off with a pic of Xan the Man lol

Awwww sorry to hear abt your trip to the ER, I know that it was def a scary night. Kidney stones and Braxton Hicks?!?! Overwhelming is an understatement, I'm sure...

Your decision with this being your last preg sounds like a good one. From the pics you have a very handsome son and another lil one the way...

Fx'd for u

 

[mowat]

I was just wondering how you were Sweetz! So nice to hear from you. Hang in there---it'll all be worth it.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sorry to hear you've been to the ER Sweets. Hope your ok.

AFM - I finally got crosshairs! Earliest I've ovulated since we began TTC! Why would it put them in the middle of the rise and not the bottom one?

 

[sailorsgirl]

Hi ladies so sorry I have been gone for a while. I needed a break.

But I am firmly back and cannot wait to be ttc properly in my next cycle!!

Congratulations on all the bfps!!

Xxx

 

[Starry Night]

armywife - I definitely see a line in the second photo. It would be too cruel to get such a strong evap on a FRER. I never had much luck with ClearBlue tests so generally avoided them. Maybe pick up another set of FRER and test in a few days. Sometimes I think there are faulty boxes out there.

Mariahsmom - it is so tough being pregnant after an early loss. I can't imagine the feeling of being pregnant after a later loss. It is so hard to keep positive at times. It really helps to take it one day at a time and to set up mini-milestones and to celebrate each one.

sweetz - how scary! I'm glad the baby is OK but I understand the stress and wanting to stop having kids. I feel the same way. And the kidney stones sound painful! I hope that all gets sorted soon.

We have to drive an hour and a half for our OB too. But I am so grateful to be seeing a specialist rather than a GP. If you're up for it, you could also make a day/afternoon of it on the days of your appointments.

garfie - I'm sorry for the bfn.

ES - good luck testing! I hope you get your bfp!

brunette - hooray for crosshairs!!

afm - why am I still up? I just can't allow myself to sleep tonight. I can't even blame insomnia.

And I think my SiL is mad at me. I hate FB. I found a cute cartoon of a baby sitting on a recliner inside of the womb with a giant hand coming in with an "eviction notice". She is overdue now and always posting how anxious she is for baby to come so I thought she would find it funny. But instead she thinks I'm pushing her to get induced. Why would I do that??? I even wrote underneath after her first whine about induction that I didn't post it for that reason but she's still going on about it. I hate Facebook! LOL Geez. And my brother thinks it's "gross". It's very cartoony and not realistic. The baby is reading a newspaper and there is a TV. The hand coming in is entering through a door. I highly doubt it was meant to be taken so literally like a hand is being shoved inside or that it is a statement on induction.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Some people! I would have found it funny

 

[Unexpected212]

Haha I think overdue women can just be very sensetive. Any other time I'd find that hilarious but when I was overdue I just felt like crying or killing someone lol.

 

[nevergivingup]

Hello ladies quick pop in before my class starts!!

Garfie: Sorry about about the bfn BUT you're still not out yet. My Fingers and Toes stay crossed for you!

ARMYWIFE: We all were there so don't feel bad I would test and squint until my eye turn red! FX that the line gets darker.


Es: I love your positivity!! Don't lose hope!! Your BFP is right there, believe in that.

Sweetz: He is sooooo darn cute! He definitely is going to be a heartbreaker!!! O my Sweetz, what we women go through for this experience. You are super mom in my eyes!! Sorry about all you have to go through for this baby but glad everything is ok, just tell s/he to stay in there alittle longer!! Take care of yourself Sweetz!! Love you more then these words can say.

Pinkcasi: She is simply perfect!! Thanks for sharing!
Good day ladies!!

 

[qwk]

armywife - i think i see something on the second one With my bfp this time, the IC's were much darker/clearer than the FRER I took at 10 dpo. By 11 dpo FRER was obvious as well. Good luck!!

pinkcasi - she is lovely!! congrats again!!!

brunette - congrats on crosshairs! It's probably because of how high your temps were before ovulation that it didn't count the lower temp as ov?

 

[ESwemba84]

Sweets! I'm sorry you had that experience, but glad the baby is fine. I hope nothing serious is going on, and hopefully they are just being overly cautious.

Starry......I hate Facebook too, lol. She's probably just super hormonal, and gets mad at everything right now.

AFM, I had a stark white BFN just now. I was soooooo sure I'd at least have a squinter. I didn't sleep that well last night in anticipation of this morning. I'm hoping it's just a tad too early. I still have symptoms, and I think it's only 11 DPO. Last time I got a BFP I had just started a new job, and I start a new job tomorrow! I'm hoping I have the same experience! I'm still being optimistic and praying morning, noon, and night.

I'm sorry you are having I go though all of this I have heard kidney stones are the worst ! Make sure you take it easy and try to get some rest you son is too cute

 

[Laelani]

Ohhh ladies , I wish I hadn't tested now I'm going to be super paranoid . I took a clear blue easy and it was neg. I know frer picks up way before anything else but I just wanted to see. I'm having hot flashes like before AF and like before my miscarriages they are so fresh in my mind since one was in April and one in nov. I wish I could just test and relax like a normal person ...... This is going to drive me crazy. I haven't even told my hubby about the positive fr. I don't want to disappoint him if something happens . Please say a prayer for me if you remember

When I saw the pic I saw a line right away too, very faint but still there. It's tough to TTC after miscarriages and I feel for you because I am in the same boat. I am so paranoid right now even with the thought that I could be pregnant that I am avoiding anything that would be bad if I were pregnant and everything. It is killing me that I can't test yet and since I am only 2DPO I have some time to go before I can actually test. I worry constantly though. Sending prayers and good vibes your way dear.

 

[armywife03]

So I took another frer it was the same as yesterday I'm trying to stay positive but after so many losses you don't want to get your hopes up . Hot flashes have always been bad for me. When I get pregnant and it sticks I don't have them. If I have then along with all my other PMS symptom I normally will not carry. I will keep you updated . I still haven't told my husband. I'm scared I will disappoint him again

I'm sorry for your loss I have been doing the exact same thing. I have been taking vitamins and dha. Trying to relax, stopped working out. My hubby is gone but if he was here I wouldn't be having sex. It sucks so bad unless you have been through it you don't understand. I feel like as soon as I see that faint line I become obsessed. I just want to see thy line getting darker. Right now I'm not feeling optimistic at all...... GL to you I hope this is your month . All of you are in my thoughts

 

[eyemom]

Hiya Sweetz, good to see you. Wow you've really been through it last day or so! So sorry to hear. Kidney stones sound miserable, but glad baby is alright. Sounds like the specialist OB will be a good thing...great knowing you're getting the best care possible. Lil Xan is super adorable...seems like he's grown a ton just from the last pic you posted of him in the crib. Hope you can catch a break soon.

brunette, yay for cross hairs! That is great to see. I agree it probably took into account the higher temps early in your cycle and that's how it ended up putting it a little after when your temps first started to rise. It's kind of a funky looking chart, but looks like things are headed in the right direction.

Hi sailorsgirl, I understand needing a little break. Good to see you again.

Starry, hope you were able to get some rest! That stinks about your SiL, but I'm sure she'll get over it. I wouldn't think that cartoon was making any statement about induction either. It sounds like she's just at an overly sensitive, extra hormonal time right now. Many ladies seem to have a good sense of humor about going over, but I guess not all. Hope it's water under the bridge soon.

ES, boooo about the BFN. Hope it's just too early. Staying positive for you.

army Still holding out hope for you. Hope in a few days things are clearer and looking up. Hopefully your DH would want to be there for you for whatever you need...surely he wouldn't be disappointed in you, but disappointed about the situation. (God forbid those lines don't get darker...which I'm still hoping they will!) But if you're distraught, surely he wouldn't want you to bear that all on your own? I understand not wanting to talk until you get your own thoughts sorted though.

Everyone else *waves*

I hear you loud and clear! I feel the same way. You stand there with test in hand squinting like crazy just praying there is something there. I have been taking prenatal vitamins for little over a month. I have not been working out or anything either. I understand completely what you are going through. If you ever want to talk more about it feel free to PM me.

 

[Sweetz33]

Thanks y'all. Waiting on call back from OB. Oldest stayed home from school today to help me. Hard to chase an almost 1 y/o when you are in pain. TG for him. Taking it very easy until I know for sure what is going on. my love to all of you.

 

[armywife03]

Thank you again for being so kind. I went in today for a hcg count and they are checking my progesterone.I should know my count before in about 4 hrs but progesterone won't be till Friday.I took another test this afternoon. I seen to get darker ones in the afternoon than with FMU. I dint know why people say FMU is the best bc for me it hasn't been. I will up load a pick in a min from off my phone. Thank you for listening .I know I sound a little crazy

 

[Unexpected212]

You don't sound crazy at all. I have everything crossed for you.

 

[armywife03]
