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

[Starry Night]

Sweetz - your one doctor sounds horrible! Sounds like she has some chip on her shoulder or something to prove and takes it out on her innocent patients. My friend's paediatrician is like that...it's awful!! And I know it's not always so easy to just switch doctors. Is there a reason you go back and forth between the two doctors? She sounds scary, to be honest.

meggiemay - it must feel kinda good to have a plan of action. I do hope that you don't have to wait a year for your rainbow, though. Hope he or she comes much, much sooner than that!

 

[nevergivingup]

Just popping in to say GM to all the ladies... hoping everyone have a awesome day!!

Back home, exhausted yet again.

Got in argument with dumb ass doctor that I hate (you know the one that tried to give me penicillin even though I'm so allergic to that med it will kill me) bc she said there is no way I should and can be dilated, and my midwife was wrong. Tried to tell the nurses not to give me the 2nd steroid shot. Nurses said we got the orders from a different doc, my normal doc, so take it up with him. Stupid bitch almost put me in tears. I told nurses if she is the on call when I do go in labor to stick a cork in me bc I don't want her near me.

I'm on medication now to stop contractions AND they are writing a letter for my landlord to let him know it is medically unsafe for me and baby to move ATM and for my safety and baby safety, he needs to give us an extension on our lease WOOHOO lol

Small miracles....with my super ice chip craving (ty anemia) they guy at the local gas station that sells the softer ice let me get a 52oz cup for 27cents and say I can refill it as much as I need to for no charge. YAY!!! Little things please me these days lol

Well, at least some things in your life are working out. When all is said and done, I would make sure you leave negative reviews everywhere you can think of about this stupid doctor you have been seeing. It makes me so mad to read that she is being so awful!!!

 

[meggiemay93]

Sweetz That doc is horrible! I'll be praying she is not there when Xander does come!! Yay for getting free ice chips though!!!!

AFM I certainly hope this is my year!

 

[Sweetz33]

She was the one oncall at the hospital. Hate her. Slept pain free for the first time in a week. Only downside is this med is giving me a horrible migraine sok I rather a headache over pains so bad I can't move. Hope eveyone is well

 

[babydoodle]

Sweetz33, Good luck with your little one!! How exciting to be so close to meeting him! I will keep my fingers crossed for you that he keeps himself in there a couple more weeks!!

So, currently on cd 7 and starting to ttc this week, wish me luck i am super excited and hopeful!!!
Im not doing anything different this time, just making sure to take my prenatals! I cant wait to join everyone who is already pregnant!!!

Good luck from the bottom of my heart to all of you who are ttc. I do agree that losing a baby creates so many more worries for the future...i am going to try my best to keep calm when i become pregnant again and to just trust God and His will for me.

I dont want to 'over' try this week because i read that doing so can really affect the sperm count, i did look into the smep plan and it just didnt seem natural to me to obsess over making sure we dtd that much and on those exact days. My cycles have been pretty regular since the loss so i will focus on the days before and on ovulation....and hope for the best!!! I will keep all posted!!!!!!

 

[Starry Night]

Good luck, babydoodle! I agree that you need to use the method that you're most comfortable with.

 

[ESwemba84]

Hey babydoodle! Yep, the SMEP seems a bit much. The month I got pregnant we literally only had sex ONCE, and I guess fate timed that perfectly. Ugh, I just wish it was that easy now.

Nothing new here. 8 DPO, and I've just been fatigued for the past 3 days. Like, beyond tired, drop everything because I need a nap now kinda tired. But I also know it is unrealistic to read into any symptoms.....I do this every cycle and convince myself I have to be knocked up......and I most certainly am not.

So, the waiting continues.....

Best of luck!! I too looked at the SMEP plan and decided that it wasn't for us. My DH was under enough pressure as it was and I didn't want to add to it.

 

[MamaTex]

Good day ladies!! Hope everyone is doing good. I went out with friends last night to a restaurant/bar that reopened in town. It had more than 60 beers on tap and I couldn't try a one lol. I am not normally a beer drinker but I do like to try different craft brews. I will be going back there with my husband and will live vicariously through him. I did have me a fine hot dog on a pretzel bread bun. This place serves up wild game hot dogs: hot dogs made of boar, elk, venison, lamb, etc!!! It was so nice to get out. I have been staying home a lot more and am starting to get bored. I am tempted to go to a concert or two but am just worried about getting tired by 10pm like a wuss!!! Plus, I always end up by the inconsiderate cigarette smoker who doesn't care about the law passed about not smoking inside clubs and bars within city limits! I do need to get out more though.

In baby related news, my next big appointment is this coming Wednesday where my husband will join me. I was hoping the doppler I got would give me some peace of mind but it appears I am much too fat to hear the heart beat now. I will have to likely give it another few weeks before I can hear it. I am also a little concerned about what my insurance coverage will and will not cover. I have heard about the materna 21 test and I would like to get that over more invasive testing. I also hear the gender can be found out through the test so I am hoping either my insurance covers it or it isn't too terribly expensive to get if not. First hurdle is making sure the baby is fine and the heart beat is still going!!

Mmm. Hot dog in a pretzel bun? Sounds fantastic! What is the name of the place? Ill have to check it out. I am a beer drinker and I miss it like crazy! It will be really hard this summer when going out with the hubs and friends to not have an ice cold beer, aaahhhgg! I hear one beer a day is good for breast milk though. So once the kid gets here-woohoo!

The place is called Moon Tower Inn. It is at 3004 Canal Street, Houston, TX 77003

Thanks!!

Hot dogs and pretzels do not go together. I can't even think about hot dogs right now. The look, the smell....I can't stand them. Normally I can. I am hoping this aversion is a positive sign. During my first pregnancy I had an abhorence towards hot dogs and that did not go away until 3 months after my m/c.

I am testing tomorrow morning so that should get me out of this limbo either way. I am definitely getting strange signs but it could easily just be out-of-whack hormones as it's my first full cycle after the m/c and my last AF was still filled with gross stuff. I am almost chickening out.

 

[mowat]

Good luck Starry---I'm testing tomorrow too. I'll be about 12dpo I think. I've had another month with horrible headaches, cramps, nausea, and stomach pain. Been exhausted all weekend too. All sound like great symptoms, but I've been having them since my cycles returned after my miscarriage and I haven't gotten anywhere, so I'm not really hopeful.

 

[Sweetz33]

Mmmmmm pretzel dogs are AH MAZE ING!!!

 

[Sweetz33]

Just wanted to share a quick note with y'all before I pass out for the night.

At about 3pm today, I was on the phone and felt this excrutiating pain thru my pelvic, back and hip area. Lasted a good two minutes or so. I was on the phone with DH and since I am a stubborn ninja warrior (lol) I pushed thru it and kept talking to DH. lol He was confused as was I, as the meds were supposed to prevent contractions. I blew it off bc I never had another feeling like that. Well, 6 hours later, I look at myself in the mirror and I went WTF?!



Apparently that pain I was feeling was Xander dropping into position. My belly has dropped considerably. I will be surprised if I make it much longer. Little man wants OUT.....NOW!! lol

 

[jenkb123]

Fx'ed for some good news tomorrow morning Starry and Mowat!! I'll be watching for your updates.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Thanks everyone, im feeling a little better this week, just trying to put the negativity aside and get back on the horse so to speak, there's nothing else i can do.

Sweetz: OMG i can't believe it, keep thoses legs crossed for a little longer, I'll be thinking of yoou and hoping you and xander are both well!

Starry and mowat: Good luck for test day, i hope it's good news for you both.

Everyone else, hope your all well.

AFM we had snow here in the Uk, i know some of you might be used to it a bit more but we dont' get snow often so it's exciting, it was so bad i coouldn't drive to work on friday and apparently it's going to snow again tomorrow, it's cold and wet and miserable but i dont mind being forced to stay at home i can think of fun things to do ;-)

 

[lpjkp]

Gosh, sweetz, Xander's been giving his mommy a hard time lately hasn't he?! I hope he stays tucked up for a couple more weeks...just think, in a few weeks time, it'll all be over...he'll be in your arms, and the last 9 months will have been soo worth it!!! I'll keep checking your updates....you're bump looks lovely by the way!!

Never, I think it's about time for another bump photo!!! It's long overdue!!!

Good luck for tomorrow's testers!! I have my fingers crossed for your January BFPs!!!

About food aversions...I completely went off sausages throughout this pregnancy, and I've only just started to think about eating them again...what is it about sausages?! lol
