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

[Pinkcasi]

Wow starry it sounds like you went to a lot of effort and bless your mil, were not having a theme as such it's just going to be pink and purple, I wouldn't really worry about it but that rooms not been decorated since I brought the house about 7 years ago so it's a bit tired and I don't wana just 'paint over it' like people have suggested I want it to be nice, so it's sanding and filling, making sure all the walls are flat and smooth then I'm planning on painting pink and purple horizontal stripes on one feature wall the other 3 will be just pink but I don't know if I'm taking on too much.
I know Stella won't care but I just want it nice for her.

Thank you both for the positive vibes. I may have neglected to introduce myself. 29/Married/TTC in Texas. I've had wacky cycles, but I figured things would have settled by now. After all, it's been a year since my m/c.

Nice, Houston isn't too far from us here in Rowlett.
Ugh....I also noticed that my BB's are a little tender. I think this happened last month. AF was running late and the tenderness took a day or so to kick in.

Welcome Emcoop and good luck to you, these are a great bunch of ladies you'll get lots of love and support during your TTC journey.

Hiya everyone hope youre ok, Mama you still with us? you not popped yet ha ha

Im starting to get really annoyed at work, people that keep going on about how im not going to be here, it's like my opinion no longer counts because i'll be going on maternity leave in the next few months, it's like yeah 9 months then i'll be back, i wish i didn't have to but i have to come back, i cant even afford to have the full year, but its constantly 'oh well you dont matter as you wont be here'

Also im dreading Wednesday, it's the anniversary of my babies death, jeez that sticks in my throat a bit, i cant believe it's been a year, I hardly think of them anymore isn't that awful, i cant believe that this time last year i was happier than id ever been and then 2 days later it was the worst day of my life ever, dont get me wrong im happy that im pregnant now but i'll always miss what might have been.

Pink I think your angel will always have a place in your heart and will always be remembered . My mum had a mc on her second and 47 years on still remembers and tells the story . All of my 4 sisters and me know all about it grew up with the story as part of our lives , we all always wondered if it would have been our brother and only boy in our family lol...... But equally life moves on and we learn to live with the pain of the loss , it isn't always at the surface and that's ok , but it is engraved in our hearts and makes up,part of our lived experience . Remember that little life on Wednesday xxxxxxxxxx

Pink: Ya, still with you all. I had cramping all day yesterday up until I went to sleep. I ended up waking up twice, but labor didn't commence. It was just cramping I had so I didn't think anything would come of it, but I was secretly hoping it meant I was close. I haven't lost my mucus plug or had any real contractions, just BH. I asked the OB at my last appointment if any had registered on the NST and he said no, none had so far.

 

[Starry Night]

Mama - just hold on, you're coming close! I'm trying to remember what my last few weeks were like but the memories really do fade after time. I think cramps are fairly normal at this time. Once you start getting contractions you won't mistake them. My OB told me that if you're standing and have to stop and prop yourself up or if you can't talk through them then they're real and you should head on over to the hospital. I found that to be true for myself. I was 5cm by the time I arrived.

Pink - that sounds rough. You could keep using the phrase "when I return" just so it's in everybody's minds that you are coming back. Is there someone you could go to? Overall, you may have to ignore what the coworkers are saying. I think it's important to make sure you're still good with your superiors. Their opinions are what really matters. The rest is (annoying) chatter. I used to work in an office and know the politics can be really dumb. I always tried to keep my head down and stay out of it all.

afm - no AF yet. May test tomorrow but will try to hold off another day. I hate that I keep getting myself excited when I don't know what is going on

 

[Kat S]

Fingers crossed for you, Starry!!

Starry - Fingers crossed

GL starry!

obgyn's office called me back today and he also gives us clearance to continue ttc. So next few days we'll be busy. ;D

 

[Starry Night]

Good luck, eyemom! And remember to enjoy yourself.

I still don't know what kind of chance I stand. I had a bfn as recently as Friday and I feel like I'm getting mixed signals from my body. I have been getting cramps the past few days and they are getting worse but they don't feel like AF cramps. They feel like severe gas pains. Blah. I am so curious to test but I really should wait until at least Wednesday. The only way I'm in with a chance this cycle is if I did ovulate late because I did not BD at all the entire week leading up to my usual ov date.

 

[essie0828]

Good luck starry!

Better get to "work" eyemom

Mamatex how's the cramps?? Btw I can't stand pushy sales people either, pregnant or not, no means no! Ha!

everybody Would like to catch up with every one but been super busy with DD. Poor thing isn't feeling well. I'm still waiting for AF to show (or not) . One more week till testing.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Heya everyone,

So im having a hideous day all of a sudden, i just flipped out completely!

I started off today really excited with plans to book a little get away for a few weeks time just a few days in Devon a 'babymoon' if you will, my OH and i have never been on holiday just the 2 of us and this will be the last chance we get so we said sod the money lets put it on the credit card and enjoy ourselves while we can, so i was just waiting for him to confirm he could take the days off work then i was going to book it, well then i start lookng at the bank account and thinking about money and stuff and i've stressed myself out so much that we cant go, we just cant afford it not even for a few days in a B&B, we have a bank loan to pay and a car loan and have a baby coming tha'ts pain, new carpet new furniture blah blah, to spend money on a holiday is just ridiclous, so now im stressed and anxious. for days, nay weeks now my 'friends' at work have been making jokes abut my weight and how much i eat, well i can take a joke as much as the next guy but today i just flipped, it's like im not allowed to eat! someone came back from holiday and brought sweets, i had one! that's one, and im some kind of fatty! im slimmer than most people here and im 5 months pregnant! I just cant take it anymore, what gives them the right to take the micky just because im pregnant, if i crave a snickers bar im going to eat a snickers bar what business is that of anyone??!?!?!?!

Im sorry to rant but im just to tense right now i just wana scream, i just wanted to get away, a few days by the seaside with my OH, after everything weve been through, i thought we deserved a few days to spend some time together withut having to stress and worry about work, or decorating or washing and ironing, before our lives change (for the better) forever but just trying to arrange it has stressed me out beyond anything.

 

[Starry Night]

Pink - your coworkers sound like a real treat. They shouldn't be speaking to you like that. Of course you're allowed a treat and pregnant women need to gain weight. It is inevitable. There would be something wrong if you weren't. Sorry that you're feeling stressed about finances.

afm - took a test and it was negative. It looks like I'm simply having a long cycle.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Yeah but we always take the micky out of one another and normally i can take it but, im starting to get so sensitive about my size and while im happy to be pregnant and so proud of my bump no woman wants to feel fat and ugly.

My OH says to not stress, it'll be fine and all that but hey im neurotic and anxious at the best of times and im 5 months pregnant and very hormonal, im like beyond insane right now.

Sorry Starry, our bodies toy with us post MC

 

[garfie]

Starry - So sorry hun - looks like were both still in that same boat

[MamaTex]

EMCOOP: Any update?

garfie: How are you?

Kat S: What is new with you? I know you said you were taking the B/C pills. Anything interesting going on in your life right now?

eyemom: Glad you are in the clear to TTC. Good luck and have fun!!

Starry: FX. *Edited* Just saw your update. When will you test again?

essie: The cramps ceased yesterday although today I am feeling soe Braxton Hicks contractions. The BH are nothing out of the ordinary. I went grocery shopping this morning so I imagine that is what got them going.

Pink: Life is too short to not live it. I say take your vacation but if you feel that you guys are not in the financial position to do that, maybe you can do something in town and still have it be a get away from the norm. As far as how work goes, that is awful. If you can't speak out of turn with the people at work, I would just try to put them out of your mind. People say the rudest things to pregnant women. I have no idea why they feel being pregnant means being open to any kind of backwards idea or unnecessary comment they can come up with. Just take pride in the fact you ARE smaller than those people who are giving you a hard time even though you are 5 months.

AFM: Nothing new to report

 

[Starry Night]

Thanks, everyone. At this point I think I'm going to simply test once a week until AF shows. I conceived my son on a 70 day cycle so I know I'm not out yet (on CD44 right now). I am ready for the fake pregnancy symptoms to go, though. DH is appreciating the big boobs.

Even though I know this post-m/c craziness is to be expected, it still toys with me and makes me feel like I'm never going to have another baby.

 

[EMC00P]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't take a test....AF started this morning. Oh well, there is always next month.
