[Tybabydreams]

Mamtex: Oh, I was so worried and scared for you. I’m glad that your numbers are stellar, and that the bleeding stopped!!! I hope your scan goes well on Friday and you get your first glimpse of your rainbow baby!!

Never: Hey girly, I missed you too. Wow! You only have 11 weeks to go, the time seems to be going by soooo fast!!! You’ll be holding your rainbow baby before you know it!! Also, congrats on moving into your new home, you got it done before Christmas, Yay!

Sweetz: Yay on dumping that no good OB. I mean seriously, wtf, did he come from the school of dumb docs??? Also, love, love, love the baby bump pic!! I hope that I get to that point in my pregnancy!

Runnergrl: Congratulations on the two job offers!!! That's definitely the way to start a new year!!

Welcome jenkb, wishing you lots of !!
Welcome also MissMaternal, and congrats on your BFP, hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!!!

Hope everyone else is doing great. I’ve been reading and catching up – it’s a lot to catch up on, but hope everyone’s doing well, getting ready for the holidays. Sending to all our ladies, let’s get some more BFP’s in the new year!!

AFM: I was (have been) cautiously optimistic, and happy about my BFP. My doctor, thankfully, has been understanding, and aggressive in my care due to my previous ectopic, so I had blood tests for my HCG and progesterone done last Thursday (when I confirmed the preggo with the doctor), and again on Monday. The doctor called me yesterday, and the news was not all happy. My HCG looks good – 1st test was 144 and 2nd HCG was 765, but my progesterone actually dropped – 1st was 12, and 2nd was only 6. So my doctor’s concerned, which has me freaking out. She had originally planned to do an transvaginal u/s next week on the 27th to confirming Baby was in the right spot. I would be ~6 weeks along, and she’d be able to see the fetal pole then. But with my low progesterone #’s, she moved the u/s up to Friday. So on the bright side, I’ll know on Friday whether Baby is stuck in the right spot. But I’m sooooo nervous. She’s going to give my progesterone suppositories as well to help my #’s along, but she did warn me that the research on supplemental progesterone is inconclusive at best. But I’ll try anything to keep my sticky Baby stuck. I haven’t been feeling any out of the ordinary cramping, which I hope is a good sign. I have been having a mild cramp maybe once a day, and she (my doctor) assured me this is normal. So I’m worried, I guess I have been a bit detached since learning I was pregnant, because I feel like something bad is going to happen. It’s like I can’t let myself get to hopeful that all will end well. But I’ll keep you all updated, I’m trying not to stress too much, as I know that can affect Baby too, but it’s hard not to freak out…….I really hope I’m not going to lose my baby again.

 

[runnergrl]

tybabydreams- I will be praying for you. You are right, and I will be honest, your HCG numbers do look great, but your progesterone doesn't. I really hope the suppositories help and hopefully you have caught the issue early enough! Sending sticky thoughts and prayers and positive vibes your way!

 

[garfie]

Ty - Your numbers do look great hun - lets hope they've caught the prog problem early enough - fingers crossed for you hun

[mackjess]

ty, praying for you. My progesterone dropped from 19 week 4 to 11 at 6 weeks. started supplements, but I was terrified at my us week 7 there would be no baby. it was there, measuring perfect, with a strong heartbeat. still taking supplements till 13 weeks, and I'm trucking into 9 weeks with no problems so far. I'm still going to be very scared till I make it to the second tri but I get more optimistic every day. praying the supps work for you as well.

[garfie]

I guess i'm in the TWW. I had a temp rise this morning, but not to the level Id like. Even so, not feeling optimistic about getting a BFP this cycle. I really wanted to attempt one more time last night, but i literally went to get ready for bed and by the time I came in the bedroom my husband was asleep. I was soooooo pissed. So, I guess I'm hanging on to the hope that the sex 2 days before ovulation, and the preceding nights, were sufficient enough to get pregnant. Hopefully my cycle will last long enough for me to get my day 21 hormones tested. Only time will tell.

I'm also in a bad mood this morning because I'm starving, and I had my mind on cereal for breakfast, but we have no milk. The only things I have in my fridge are chicken nuggets and reese's pie. Not exactly an ideal selection of food when I'm trying to watch what I eat.

 

[MamaTex]

Storked: How are you enjoying the wonderful Texas winter weather? There was a large gust of wind that moved through here last night and I went outside to walk my dog to be met with some chilly wind. Now it is warming up just like yesterday!! I don't think we will get ANY snow or frost or anything!!!

garfie: How nice of you to help your friend. I let my husband wrap because I am no good at it!!

Sweetz33: So many months down, only 2 to go!! Sorry to hear about the aches, pains, and dizzy spells. Yuck!! Thanks for taking the time to hop back on even when you are feeling bad!


Tybabydreams: I will definitely keep you in my thoughts. We all want to be mums and will be!! I hope your action plan gets your progesterone up!! I like that your doctor is working with you. Mine is against using progesterone supplements because he feels they do not work at all, but I have researched ways I can increase my progesterone naturally. I thought about getting the cream OTC but I wanted a more natural approach than that. Some Internet research led me to some information about increasing progesterone by increasing intake of B vitamins through a B complex vitamin. I have been taking two B complex vitamins a day. I don't know if that will help anything, but it can't hurt to have more energy if it doesn't do anything!!

ESwemba84; Your food choices this morning takes me back to living with my parents!! They would have cereal but no milk, hot dog buns but no hot dogs!! It was infuriating lol. I hope you get to go grocery shopping and get stocked up right!!! It's so great to read that you are in the TWW. I know your road there has been long!!

tinkerbellsie: Sure you can join!! Welcome!!

mackjess:Hello!! You are definitely an inspiration for me. It's awesome to hear you are pulling through and doing well. The avatar of your dog cracks me up every time I look at it!! Why I don't know...

AFM: I spent yesterday with my husband and we rode around looking for a new rent house or a home to buy. There are so many homes for sale and not enough rent houses, but I am going to apply for a mortgage loan for the heck of it. We found one house for 47,000! It needs some roofing work and needs to be fumigated, but other than that it is nice!! It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 big living room, 1 big kitchen, and a garage!! It is a fairly nice neighborhood with access to the Beltway and nearby freeways! I would love to move in, but first we need to be approved for a home loan!!

In baby news, my appetite has revved up even more. Nipples are sore on and off. I feel some cramps every now and again. Getting more emotional as I started to cry over a Christmas song I heard hehehe. Tomorrow is another big day. I go in for an ultra sound to see what has been going on inside. I am a little nervous but looking forward to seeing something. I am trying not to think about my last lovely experience getting an ultra sound and seeing nothing, then being told the baby had stopped growing. I feel a lot better about this pregnancy.

 

[Storked]

Ty, many prayers and sticky thoughts for you lady!

Tinkerbellsie, welcome

Sweetz, it will all be worth it for Xander

Runner, thrilled for you!

HisGrace, Houston is where it is happening

ESwemba, sorry today is being sucky

Mama, I like that it is fairly warm! Went to the apartment office to pick up a package wearing a halter dress and the ladies were like "aren't you COLD?"
Ha. This is so warm compared to the part of Texas where I am from
You symptoms sound great honey and I wish you all the luck with the loans *

Feeling awesome today! April is coming, I have been eating better and have more energy, I have like 10 books coming through the mail and in less than a year I will be living overseas. Life is good and I am blessed and will continue to be blessed
Love and and sticky, happy thoughts to all!

 

[Starry Night]

Ty - thinking of you! Your hcg does look good but I don't know a thing about progesterone. It's not commonly tested over here. I'm glad you have a doctor who does pay attention to it and is willing to help you.

Tinerbellesie - welcome! Good luck with this cycle. I hope that the Clomid does the trick!

Mama Tex - that sounds like it could be a sweet little home. Home-hunting can be so frustrating at times. Good luck with your scan tomorrow.

AFM - had my minor surgery this morning. Wasn't too bad. I had some moles removed as a kid and I remember that the anaesthetic didn't work very good and I had felt pretty much everything. So I was nervous! But I didn't feel a thing this time. Even got to see the leftover stuff in the jars afterwards. It was so gross! But I had to look. I get the stitches out on the 31st.

Last night we ended up doing our first round of BD'ing. I'm pretty sure I ov'd about a week ago so I'm not holding my breath for this cycle.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

Thanks for the welcomes and ladies! Will try and keep up!

to you all xxx

 

[mackjess]

Tex - I love your cat in the bowl pic so we are even.

Thinking of you and all the lovelies on this thread. I hope everyone really has a great Xmas no matter what stage you are in, ttc, wtt, or preggers. Welcome tinker and any new ladies!

 

[Tybabydreams]

Thanks ladies for all the thoughts, prayers, and kind words. It really mean so much to me the support I get from you all. I'll let you all know what happens tomorrow at the doctor. Hopefully, I'll see my sticky baby in my uterus.

Welcome Tinkerbelle!! You joined a GREAT group. The women here are awesome, we all have our stories, and we can all offer support and understanding to one another. So welcome, look forward to getting to know you!

 

[Tybabydreams]

Hey Mackjess, thank you for your support. Yes, I am hopeful based on your situation, I hope the progesterone works for me as well. Did you have a lot of side effects from the supplements??

ty, praying for you. My progesterone dropped from 19 week 4 to 11 at 6 weeks. started supplements, but I was terrified at my us week 7 there would be no baby. it was there, measuring perfect, with a strong heartbeat. still taking supplements till 13 weeks, and I'm trucking into 9 weeks with no problems so far. I'm still going to be very scared till I make it to the second tri but I get more optimistic every day. praying the supps work for you as well.

 

[mackjess]

Yes, I think they make me even more tired to the point I am barely functional. but I'm kind of enjoying not being the type that can't sit still if there is something that needs to be done.

I only have to take it for about three more weeks since the placenta starts making its own hormones in week 12. until then I'm doing my best to keep up at work so I don't get in trouble, and the rest of the world can wait till I'm up to par.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Runner: Congrats to you things are really looking up.

Garfie: Thans a sweet story yeah your time is deffo coming, I know what yoouu mean about cute baby stuff whenever i shop down the toy isle i wana cry!

Sweetz: Sorry to hear youve not been well but it'l all be worth it when xander comes!

Tybabydreams: So sorry to heart it's not all going to plan for you, much love and hugs, im not the praying kind but i'll be thinking and hoping for you and your baby.

Tinks: Welcome!!

Mama: That's exciting news new house!, it's difficult and hard work but wonderful when it's all yours and you can fill it with love and joy, im not sure when you posted about your U/S, (yesterday or today) but good luck i'll be thinking of you, i hope you see a healthy little baby in there!

Sorry to those of you ive missed, there are too many of us now.

in other news, im alright, trying to chill out about baby making this month and that's going well we're just having sex for fun these days and i think im fertile next week when we're off work so we will prob have more but now im thinking about my baby, it's a week before xmas and this should be the best xmas ever, i should be 31 weeks pregnant right now and looking forward to the best year of my life and im not and that's really hard, you all know what i mean

However, it's a week before xmas, it's my last day in work for 6 whole days, i have lovely pressies under my tree, will be spending xmas with my family including auntie, uncle, cousins and cousins kids, it's going to be a proper big family xmas like we've not had in years so im looking forward to it, so no time for sadness, just joy, love and hope

 

[ESwemba84]

Pink: I know what you mean. My baby should have been born last month and it should have been baby's first Christmas, but it isn't and that makes me sad. But I still try to find the blessings in my life despite the loss.

AFM, not really sure what is going on. Yesterday I still had EWCM, and cervix still high soft open. This morning i had to get up at 4 to pee, so I thought I'd go ahead and temp then, and it was lower than yesterday, and lower than some of the temps I took before ovulation. I went back to sleep and woke up at 9 and took my temp again, and this time it was much higher. It just goes to show you how much of a difference a few hours can make when charting. However, now I'm confused as to which one I should record. 9 is closer to when I wake up normally, but I did get up earlier to pee.

Today is also my first day smoke free, so I'm trying not to stress myself out worrying about anovulatory cycles. Because obviously that's where my mind goes first when my temps don't look right. Good lord.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the Mayan apocalypse!
