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

[kanicky73]

Oh my lord in heaven what a weekend! Im going to try and hit on a few here but please forvgive me if I miss anyone

HisGrace- I am saying prayers for you! I agree with the other gals, call someone else if you dont get an answer you are looking for. Are you cramping with the spotting or just the spotting?? Try and not worry and just relax and dont over do it!!! Keep us posted.

Sweetz- I am so glad he passed. You know the weird thing about all those "infections" etc is they can just kind of lay dormant. I had a friend a few years back who went through a similar thing. She didnt have a polygraph done on him but it was figured out later that he had always had it so to speak.

Army- I kind of saw something on the inverted 2nd one that Janelle did for you! I agree test tomorrow with FMU! so excited for you and cant wait.

AFM- AF left the building today. So I bought some preseed and we hit the work bench tonite and every other day for the next week or so! ugh, here we go again. I am feeling confident about my approaching doctors appointment on the 10th of October. I will be approximately 10dpo at that appointment and I am sure she will order all kinds of blood work and I am pretty sure an hcg will be one of them. So hopefully if I do concieve this cycle she will be able to confirm it right away with a blood test.
So much got done this weekend. My dh went into a bit of a depression last September when his mom died and lots of things around the house took a back seat. I couldnt take it anymore and I demanded that we get some things done. Got the crown molding back up in the 2nd living room, new blinds put up in our bathroom and got the one half of the basement reorganized. Next weekend is new closet doors on the closet in my office and the other half of the basement. Finally got the drywall bought to complete the building of another room at my salon so we can bring in the other level 2 bed. Then today I got a call from my son who is 19 that the place him and his gf are living at isnt going to work out anymore and can they move back with us until they get back on their feet?? Oh my lord! Good thing I started on the basement cause thats where they would be living. Got a few things to talk over with the dh and lots of ground rules to set but I dont know see any other option. I cant turn my back on my son.
anyone know how to hang drywall??? this will actually be comical watching me and my sister try to do this!

How is everyone else? Sorry if I missed anyone, my head is still spinning from this weekend~

Kanicky- are you hanging in on the walls or the ceiling? If you're hanging it on the wall be sure to mark the studs so you know where to screw the drywall. You can put a mark on the ground and the ceiling with masking tape. The trick is to sink the screw into the drywall just under the paper, but you don't want to sink it too deep or it's pointless. If this happens, just leave it and put another screw next to it. If you have to cut drywall get something with a straight edge like a metal yard stick. Use a new razor blade in a cutting knife and cut into the dry wall a few times, but not all the way through, then you can just snap it and it will be a clean cut. Be sure to end and start a new piece of drywall on a stud so that it's secure. Drywall goes on the wall vertically. If you need to put drywall on the ceiling you can make t-posts out of 2x4s and it will hold the drywall up so you can screw it in place. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm very familiar with drywall after redoing our kitchen.

you made me giggle because I was half heartedly joking when I asked if someone knew how to hang drywall and to my surprise.................. someone does! LOL. thank you so much, those tips are very helpful!!!!

 

[kanicky73]

Hisgrace- Are you spotting red?

AFM- I HATE not being able to do much. I want to vacuum so bad, but I've been advised not to. So annoying. I did go to a thrift store this weekend and bough some gap maternity jeans for $4. They are so freakin' comfortable! Yes, I know 5 weeks is early to wear maternity jeans, but let me tell you something, I would wear maternity jeans all the time if I could get away with it! I like to shop for maternity clothes early so that I'm not frantic when I actually need them and get stuck wearing something ugly. I swear, some of the clothes out there... Really makes you question a pregnant woman's style.

No, it's a really light brown or dark yellow. I almost thought I peed my pants a little. Like a squirt when I laughed or something. LOL. It's gone now though. But I'm still going to the dr tomorrow to make sure I don't have a uti or vaginal infection. I don't have a single symptom for either out side of the spotting but google is scaring the crap out of me.

that almost sounds to me like normal discharge. I had tons of it when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby. After it sat in my undies for a minute or two it almost took on a brownish tint to it. Its probably nothing but just keep an eye and for sure go in if you are not feeling comfortable about it.

The only cramping I'm getting is gas. :-/

It sounds like you have a lot going on. I got tired just reading your post. Whew! Glad the witch is gone. Hope you get your bfp before your appointment.

Stay away from google! I know, it is awful and scary. Just call your doctor, but I wanted to let you know that brown is totally normal as well as pink. So that is a good sign! Even better that you're not cramping. I know that the doctor will put your mind at ease, because they really helped me when I thought I was miscarrying. Drink lots of water and try to relax. It's also common to spot brown and pink after intercourse because when your pregnant your cervix is sensitive and the littlest bump can piss it off and cause it to bleed.

 

[kanicky73]

HisGrace- no cramping is def a good sign. Im pretty sure spotting and cramping together can be a cause for concern in some people but in others it can be very normal. But I think you are just experiencing normal pregnancy symptoms. But again none of us are your doctor and if any of it makes you feel uncomfortable or you just dont feel right then for sure go in.

 

[janelleybean]

Kanicky- You'd be surprised all the handy man stuff I can do around the house! I've learned a lot since we bought our house.

LOL, yes home ownership has its perks. However I usually just end up calling someone else because my dh is notorious for starting projects and never finishing them! And heaven knows I dont have time for it. Our dryer started making a funny noise and he was like, let me get the drill and open up the back and see whats going on here. I was like, freeze MR, Im calling the repair guy, this is not your area of expertise. He was slightly offended but oh well, I need my dryer and dont have 3months to wait for it to get fixed! whooops did I say that outloud??

 

[Sweetz33]

Grace...if you feel really concerned go on...

Kani...she nailed it (no pun intended) with the drywall. I did house flipping back in NC, but with mobile homes. HAS to be on the stub or one hard push on the seam and *snap*. She is correct abut the cutting too. Drywall is made in a way that is does a clean snap when cut. Sharp blades are a must thou.

Army...I saw something on one of the inverted ones. I say try a frer with fmu.

AFM after going over finances and all that fun stuff (*yay*) what I'm going to do is go up for a week or two to see her, then if things still seem "off" I will just move up there next summer. A big move will cost us thousands...a 2 week visit a few hundred.

Thanks!! Studs..check......sharp knife......check. You girls ROCK!!!

Good call on the decision! I was actually going to suggest that but when it comes to mommas and their kids sometimes what would work for one wouldnt work for another. I think you should be able to assess the situation and find out whats going on in a visit.

 

[Aspe]

Good evening ladies, well my time hehe

I have been reading to catch up, so although I'm don't have time to do personals right now, I'm caught up lol...sorry

AFM..I can't stop peeing this evening, probably is unrelated to anything though. I did a ovulation test today and the test line was dark, although not sure if it was as dark or darker than the control line. Also, the test line was thinner than the control line, is this normal? I'll try to take another one tomorrow and post for opinions. I also took my BBT for the first time and it was 98.13. I have been reading online that different temps means prior to or currently ovulating. It is so confusing. As for my cervix, it is still very high and sooooooo soft. It almost seems like it keeps getting softer, if that is even possible. I did a sweep and there is like no cm, my fingers are just wet. Online it says your fingers should be dripping wet, but mine was just wet. Does this mean anything? I also started exercising today, here's to hoping I can keep it up and gradually increase as I get use to it.

 

[armymama2012]

I'm so nervous/ excited to test tomorrow! Thank goodness tomorrow is almost here! If its a bFN I wont be too disappointed though. I've prepared myself.

 

[Shyiah]

Hello ladies I know that I have been in and out of the group but I wanted to share my great news with you all today I got my geesh I thought it would never happen again but it did. DH is like we are going to go and by two more test because I don't want to get to excited. But I am telling him the best pregnancy test is mother nature and she is saying on another note I would like to thank you ladies for all of the support you have previously given it means a lot to me. I hope everyone is well with their pregnancies and and as always

 

[Sweetz33]

Argh my sister and one of my longtime friends is mad at me. They think my DH is a sack of shit and want me to leave him it they don't understand that I always give the benefit of the doubt.i understand their concern, DH has been less than nice this past year, but I see something in him where I feel he can change for the better. Both are divorced...and I think they think mine wont change bc theirs didn't. I don't know what to do....but they keep pushing me to leave, but when I say I need to see how things go they get pissy. Then in the same breath they say they are not trying to be mean but they are saying it out of love.....argh...... I need a vacation from reality.......I wish there was a pregnancy safe alcoholic drink....

 

[janelleybean]

sweetz- it sound like you are doing this all the logical way. It may not be the easy way, but it's fair on his part. Jumping to conclusions doesn't solve anything. Yes, he was a douche bag in the past, but if there is anything I've learned in life, it's that people change and never judge someone on their past. Otherwise EVERYONE would be guilty. True, he may never change, but who is someone else to point that out to you? It's something YOU, your self need to learn and YOU, yourself need to make that decision. Give it a shot and say you tried, rather than doing nothing and always wondering. It doesn't matter what others say and what they think, all that matters is how you feel and what you think is best. Live YOUR life, don't let others live it for you.

 

[Sweetz33]

Thanks for understanding...you seem to be the only one who is right now....

 

[Krissy485]

Sweetz- I TOTALLY understand where you are right now and you are doing the right thing for you. I am sorry that your family is not being supportive because i lucked out in that department. even though it seems that many of my family members know that the reason we broke up last year was bc he cheated on me they do not treat him any different. Even my parents have been supportive the whole time and when i said i was going back to him the only thing they said was they wanted me happy, didnt want to see me get hurt again but if it did happen i always had a home with them. and here we are a yr and half later and all 5 of us are living with them. The only advice i can give you is do what your heart and head tell you to do! dont let others influence what in your gut you know is the right thing for you and your family. your sisters may think that they mean well but hearing them say not nice things about your dh is just hurting you. you love him i can see that and i havent ever met you in person and when you truelly love someone you dont just stop one day, you fight for them. so i guess what i am saying is you need to have a talk with your sisters and tell them that even though you know that they say what they say bc they love you it hurts you and you really dont want to hear it anymore and if they cant be supportive in your decision then maybe they need to take a step back for a while till they can. I hope you can get that worked sweety!!! oh and about your daughter, even though i know how much you want to be with her good job on crunching the numbers and thinking it through. i just hope when you get there it is just really a case of a daughter missing her mommy and nothing more. gL!

Janelle- i can so see you hanging drywall lol

Kanicky- remember i just moved in with my parents it is the newest trend, it is no longer uncool to live with your parents but smart lol

Army- cant wait to see you test tomorrow- remember dont pee in the middle of the night lol

Hi everyone else!!!! Happy 500 pages!!!!

AFM- got my paper done yay just have to add my references do some last minute tweaking and submit. is it right i have no clue am i happy to have something to turn in hell yeah!

 

[armymama2012]

Ugh...I feel blah and my right knee is killing me.

 

[Krissy485]

Army- hopefully you get that bfp in the morning and that would make you feel loads better!!!!

AFM- got all my work done yay!!! ok now time for bed gotta get dh up in 4 hour for work ugh! nighty night ladies!!!

 

[Storked]

Shyiah, congrats!

Hi to everyone! We fixed my netgear.

 

[garfie]

Storked - welcome back hun, what CD are you on? we missed you

Sweetz - A break to see what is going on will put your mind at rest I agree. As for hubby go with your gut instinct, these friends and your sister are probably thinking they are advising you for the best but in my opinion don't tell them when you and dh have an argument (we all do) then they have less amunition to throw at you, listen to their advice (after all some may be useful) and take out what suits YOU - just like when you have a new baby and everyone thinks they know best, well only one person knows best and that's YOU only you know how you really feel

Shyiah - Congrats hun

Krissy - Well done for getting your paper done and juggling the children too - I remember those days well when I was at uni trying to submit a paper and having three step daughters to look after (the days before the lap tops )

Kannicky - Oh I am so glad it's not just my hubby that jumps from project to project (yes it saves us some money) but darn it why can't he just finish a job remember in my bio I said he is like Mr Toad well know you now why the next idea is the greatest

Army - Have you tested again yet hun

Aspe - Is this the first time you have temped?

Janelley - Hope you are feeling better today excellent instructions on dry wall by the way - I am rubbish at giving instructions

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - CD13 monitor still on HIGH temp as high as yesterday - maybe I have O this cycle (tiny cheer).

Well ladies its pouring here and its nearly time to go and collect my soggy Avon books from the Village - hope it's worth it.
