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

[nevergivingup]

Hey it's so quiet in here....I hope it's bc everyone is DTD

 

[Starry Night]

Nope. Still recovering from/dealing with my AF. I passed a really big clot this afternoon--I'm talking almost m/c-sized and had a short gush of blood which was a lot for CD4. But now I'm at a light flow. I'm thinking I must of had some leftover stuff which could explain the weird cycle of phantom preggo signs. I really hope that was the last of it and I can go on to normalcy and a healthy shot at a bfp!

 

[nevergivingup]

O Starry,I hope that was the last of it too. It sounds like that was what your body had needed to get rid of bc of the lighter flow. Don't you worry to much I'm sure your BFP is on it's way. AF is driving me crazy she comes to see me twice a month, she goes off at the beginning of he month around the 4th and comes bk on at the end of the month around the 28th. But the end of the month is coming so fast , Starry you'll be testing in no time!

It's Friday ladies what do everyone have planned? Me myself have a hair appt. not up for the waiting though

Have a great day ladies!

 

[Pinkcasi]

Hey hey, sorry starry, hopefully that's the end of it now and your cycles will sort themselves out.
And never poor you, twice a month, once a month is bad enough for me!

No news from here, I've not done anything this week, just sleeping really, I didn't sleep well last night at all, my hips were really painful and my darling oh was snoring, he's all bunged up so struggling to breathe, I was desperately trying to find a position that didn't hurt from 3am till about 6 then I had to get up.
No plans for the weekend, might go out for lunch with my folks tomorrow if I don't hurt too bad but other than that, maybe try to do some gently housework, got ironing to do, it's all rather exciting ha ha.

 

[Kat S]

Starry, I hope that was indeed the last of your strange cycle and now your body is re-set and ready to get in the game!

AFM, I'm finally back on the TTC team. YAY! Got my period, so I can put my month waiting "on the bench" behind me and get back on the playing field.

 

[nevergivingup]

Pinkcasi: Sorry ab that pain, that sounds so familiar even during the same times, mine kicked in around 3-4 am and lasted up until I gave in and just got up. O the pain was in my hips legs thighs and back. O the memories are even painful. Sleep was no longer looked upon in 3rd trimester.i dreaded it bc I knew what was coming. So I so hope u feel better Pink again I say the joys of Pregnancy! It'll all be worth it when your Little princess gets here. And lunch sounds comforting and peaceful. Enjoy

Kat S: Wohoo for being back in the TTC game. How exciting!! Now I have someone else to live my pregnancy through!

Mackjess: Hope motherhood is not being to hard on ya. Hope you're stealing some rest here and there.

AFM: Stuck at the hair salon, soooo ready to go home been here since 9:40am and it's 12:09 noon, what the world!!

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - hooray to being back on the TTC train! I hope everything comes together for you this month and you get your bfp!

pink - I feel badly for you, you sound like you're in quite a bit of pain. I found the regular discomforts of a growing belly bad enough. Can't imagine dealing with anything worse. Would your doctor have any tips on how to sleep more comfortably?

never - twice a month??!! Poor you. Is that normal or is it still something from post-pregancy? I think I would feel tempted to have all my lady bits removed if I was getting AF twice a month. I complain about my long cycles but overall I like it because it's a nice break.

afm - no huge plans. We are going to finally get my son's allergy tests. He was referred over a year ago after he had a reaction to penicillin and we are just going now. The clinic sent a list of instructions and we're supposed to be able to describe his exact reaction, how many doses he had taken and how many days he was taking it and I had no idea we were supposed to write this stuff down. I can't remember the details from over a year ago! He was 11 months at the time and now he's over 2.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Thanks never and starry its not so bad now I'm off work, I can just chill and do nothing, it's annoying and painful but at least I don't have to go to work as well.
I'm seeing my mw on Wednesday so I'll talk it through with her and see what I can do to help.

Kat that's great that your back to ttc again, hopefully this'll be your lucky month!

 

[MamaTex]

never: No DTD for me. I wish!! I can't wait to get back to having sex that does not require a manuever around so much!!

Sucks about the double period whammy. Like Pink, having AF visit once a month is enough for me. I couldn't imagine dealing with her more than once a month.

FX for fabulous hair though!!

Starry: I hope that everything is moving forward and not backwards for you. I hate the clots. Pre TTC days, when I was real young, I would see them and it freaked me out. Had no idea what they were and how my body could do that. lol.

Kat S: Welcome back to TTC. What is the plan moving forward after AF ends?

AFM: No big plans this weekend. The only thing I plan on doing is paying my car note. I am close to having less than $2000 left on this mouse car I drive lol. I am looking at getting a 4 door vehicle or maybe even a Toyota Tundra with an extended cab.

*edit*

I erased what I had typed earlier because I didn't think y'all wanted to hear me complain, but since people caught it I will edit again. The short version is that when I went in for my appointment today at 40+2, I was put on the NST and given an ultrasound. The baby looks good. Her fluid is fine and her movements satisfied my OB. My blood pressure was a little high, but I have been stressed lately. I am still looking to be induced next Wednesday, but when I went in today my OB said he recommended I do it earlier than next week and told me, "Your baby could die." He has mentioned this to me before and I told him I understood the risks, but he said it again to me today and it killed my mood. He knows my history and knows I have had a lot of anxiety over this pregnancy. The last thing I want to hear is my baby could die when she has been doing just fine all this time!! If I didn't care, I wouldn't be coming in twice a week, following my GD diet, and doing what I can to be as healthy as possible for her. It just tore me up inside. To see if my cervix was even favorable for induction, I had a cervical check. My cervix is closed shut and thick. My OB said I was not ready for an induction but wanted me to have one asap. I may not progress too much by next Wednesday, but I want to give my body a little longer as long as things continue to look good. Anyway, that is my re-edited rant.

 

[mackjess]

Never, thank you hun! I'm hanging in there, and reading and rooting for all the girls TTC, prego, and WTT! I think I'll be able to post more when I get back to work!

here's a photo of nekkid Finn from our bath this morning. He loves baths and takes a gooooood nap after them, so we are both a fan!

Pink, I'm glad you are taking it easy this week. Try not to worry about work, you have more important things going on.

And Tex, don't let them talk you into going early like they did me. Of course I was easily convinced since I was so huge and miserable to go in at 39+2. Induction did not work for me, and I think it was partly because my cervix was still high and firm. 2 days of meds to soften it and have contractions, and I still had a Csection! Not that I care now though. Once he was out and I heard his healthy screaming (he did NOT appreciate being evicted so rudely) I didn't care how he showed up. I have twinges of disappointment that I couldn't deliver naturally, but I'm healing and doing a lot better than I thought I would be.

I'm supposed to be on my laptop working on address labels for the birth announcements. I am trying to have them ready to mail out tomorrow! I am getting his 1 month photos taken on Monday, and I feel like the announcements should be in the mail before then!

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh god mama that's awful, I'm so sorry I don't know what to say I can't offer any advice but it seems a bit dramatic to say that when your only 2 days overdue, try to not stress out tho I know it's hard.

Ah!! You caught me before the edit.



I felt you guys would probably be tired of my negativity, but ya I am trying to just relax and not think about this morning.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh jess I nearly missed your post and that lovely pic of your handsome man, he's getting big, what a cutie pie, it makes me so broody! I can't wait to have my lil water baby, I think she likes baths too she kicks lots when I'm in the bath lol

 

[MamaTex]

mackjess, thanks for sharing the photo. He is a handsome boy!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Hello everyone , Mack what a cutie pie xx Mama that was uncalled for by the OB !!! No wonder your furious !!! Pink hoping the pain eases for you soon not getting sleep,is not much fun . Starry and Kat here is hoping this is your time

AFM : was in a wonderful cathedral today so took the opportunity to light a candle for my angel and my growing beanie . I also lit a very special candle and a prayer for all my buddies on bnb to help them with whatever journey they are on . So somewhere in a beautiful cathedral in Dublin under a Stained glass window lights a candle for ye . It was a big one so should last at least 3 days lol......

I'm off to a wedding tomorrow and then my OH mother is 60 on Sunday so going out for dinner . Busy weekend ahead . I hope I'm up for it !!!! The good news is that my ms and naceousnes seems to be easing up a bit in the last few days thankfully !!!! Now its only for a couple of hours a day mainly after I eat instead of all day , every day . I ALMOST feel normal again !!! Lol....

 

[Pinkcasi]

Arr left that's lovely thanks for that, am I'm happy that your feeling better x

 

[ESwemba84]

Never, I get AF twice a month too! It's awful, because my hormones shift like crazy, and I'm very moody. Poor husband.

Last night I had a weird dream. I was 20 weeks 3 days pregnant (yes, that exact!) and just finding out because they did an ultrasound because I was having pain. I had no idea I was pregnant before then. It's weird because all of my other dreams usually are about BFPs that turn out to be negative, or me having some deformed baby, or having a baby, but it gets taken away because its not really mine. This dream was different. It actually ended up being a successful full term pregnancy, and in my dream I got to experience buying stuff for baby, and preparing for having the baby. It was a good dream. I'm hoping this is an indicator of things to come soon!

I'm in my fertile window, so going to try to DTD this weekend. I've lost more weight, because my clothes are fitting looser, so I'm hoping this will help us concieve naturally.

I've been lurking to keep up a bit, but haven't had a chance to reply (again). August is so busy with back to school and everything! I don't work as much as a lot of folks, so I can't complain, but goodness gracious. Tonight was the first night I got to eat dinner with my family since Monday.

So...no DTD here. Tried to last night but it was already so late so I was not the most receptive. Poor hubby. I think I just conked out, lol. I should be in bed now but I'm waiting for the dryer to stop. I'm in my TWW now anyway. Actually just 1WW now. I know I will probably test too soon and too often because I always do, but right now I'm in that mode where I don't dare get my hopes up.

Starry~ Hope everything is okay now.

My Friday? I worked. Yayyyyy.... I've been a complete zombie since I've been home. Saturday is my "Friday." So I'm almost there....

Pink, hope you're feeling better soon.

Yay, Kat!

Mama, that is so frustrating. Not that it makes it better because there's such a thing as tact, but as a health care provider, it is SO FRUSTRATING because you can't just tell people your reasonable assessment anymore. You have to give every worst case scenario so you can't get sued. I think most of health care is just doing whatever you have to do to not get sued. It is a sad state of affairs. So I imagine he is looking after you in his own way, but to scare someone like that when there's no real basis for it, that is really awful. It'd be different if your BP was sky high or you were low on fluid or something. But it sounds like you are doing fantastic. Hang in there. Complain when you want to. We all need to vent sometimes.

Has your OB said anything about Cervidil? I am not well-educated on this subject, so I could be wrong, but I thought you could try it to ripen your cervix...though you'd have to be monitored. And then if it doesn't work you can stop it and go home. But if they had you they'd probably really try to induce you for real. In any case, just a few more days. You are doing GREAT!

Mack, so precious!

I am feeling broody too. I was holding my daughter tonight and she said, "Me a baby!" And I was like...I don't even remember what it's like to hold a little baby.

Left, that's so lovely Some places can be so inspirational.

ES, that is a pretty cool dream! to you too!

I had a weird dream last night too. I was at a house with a facebook friend (one of those, I don't really know her anymore, but we were friends when we were really little). And she looked REALLY pregnant. So I told her umm, I think you're pregnant. She said no, not yet. I'm not pregnant yet. So I'm like why don't you take a test just to be sure. And she was like OMG I can't believe it, I'm pregnant!" My brain does such strange things.

 

[nevergivingup]

O my I wrote a whole page last nite and it didn't post. Ugh Technology. .

Mamatex: vent as much as you want we're hear to listen. With an increase in C-sections these days I declined mine only to be convinced by my DH once the doctor had to go get him. I still long for a natural childbirth one day. Doctors are starting to make me think they're in it for the money! As long as your Lil princess looks good on the monitor I don't c anything wrong with letting her choose to come BUT then again I am not a doctor so don't pay much attention to me I just know how I felt when I was pushed into an induction. Next time I'm fighting to go all the way. You're very lucky bc a lot of us don't get the chance to make it to 40 weeks. So Congrats to u ma'am!!

Mackjess: Your son is so handsome!!! Mine loves bath time too it relaxes him ESP. with me using the lavender aveeno soap in his bath water. You can see the love in his eyes!!

Eswemba: Glad to know I'm not the only one with crazy cycles!! I was worried for a while but I've went to Dr. Google and for once he made me feel better rather then paranoid. And that Dream RUN with it!! I believe that's a Great sign!! It was for me in my pregnancies!! I had so many that never ended happily or was just interrupted with me not knowing whatever happened to my LO. Then I finally had a dream that I was pregnant with twins while I was pregnant with my Son and I actually saw him but he was a girl instead and I ended up miscarrying her in this scary looking house so I sat in a chair and cried my eyes out but I still was pregnant with my son in the dream and Insanely with this pregnancy I was prego with twins and lost the other so in my heart I feel it was my girl that I dreamt about. Scary and crazy I know but it played out just like that. So I say to you Be looking out for your BFP, believe in it, it will come it did for me even after a couple of horrible dreams. FX for you!! O and I m extra with my DH too but if they had to have 2 cycles like us they'll understand.

Left wondering: Have fun, I love weddings...I go for the CAKE...ssshh. I know GREEDY! Glad your m/s lightened up, hope it gets better.

Eye: Crazy enough but your friend may just be pregnant. Me and my friend was pregnant around the same time and I dreamed she was having a girl and she did. Dreams are our physic power. Lol

Pink: rest up ma'am.

Hi to All the ladies!!! This weather is crazy for it to be August. O well can't argue with God. Giving thanks Anyhow.
