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

[ESwemba84]

Kat, I'm so sooooo sorry about your cat. I hate when pets get sick. I have 2 guinea pigs and, although most people just see them as guinea pigs, they have been my babies. I take care of them, play with them.......since I don't have kids, they mean that much more to me (I hope you know what I'm talking about). One got sick a few months ago. He had a bladder stone and needed surgery because he was peeing blood and in so much pain. I hated seeing him like that..........I'm sorry you have to go through this.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a crazy guinea pig person. I don't dress them up in tutus or actually treat them like actual children. I just love them, lol.)

Scan this morning. Last night my CB digital OPK gave me a solid smiley. I felt crampy on the left and wondered if we're too late for IUI. She measured one 25mm follie, gave me my trigger shot, and said she'd call if my bloodwork shows it's too late. Meanwhile, IUI is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:30am.

 

[Sweetz33]

YAY! IT WORKED!! lol If you noticed with the BD'n....we are def. not trying hahaha!Slight temp rise today. My AF is really off. In August I had a 2 day AF that was 4 days late. Not super heavy either. Then this month BAM like an evil spawn...4 days super heavy, then 4 more days light, then 2 spotting. I just want my body back to normal.

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - good luck with everything. I hope you're able to catch it in time.

garfie - enjoy that cake! Yum. You have to tell me if it was chocolate or what kind it was.

Pink - that is a beautiful plaque! I'm sure your little girl is going to grow up loving it. And what a good find on the clothes!

Sweetz - AFs after baby are the worst. Mine were extremely heavy--like call the hospital heavy. It was like that for about 4 to 5 cycles then it went back. One good change after birth was I suddenly became regular. Before DS my cycles were all over the map. I hope your body gets back to normal soon.

afm - no new symptoms. They still come and go at this point. I generally don't start to feel really pregnant until 6 weeks. It's hard not to freak out over the lack of symptoms or how they come and go. The heartburn and hot flashes are annoying though.

 

[mowat]

I can't believe how excited I am about my AF! No, really! No only is it still going (it's been more than 24 hours!), but I'd call it a medium flow! This is really exciting for me as I haven't had a "normal" AF like this in over 2 years (since my first miscarriage). REally hope it happens again next month and then I'll feel much more confident with TTC. As for my comment about not having a cycle since February, I should clarify---I meant I've been pregnant and miscarrying the whole time, not that I just haven't had AF. So glad I have you "strangers" to talk to---who else could understand my excitement!

Kat, I'm so sorry about your cat. Makes it hard to think about making babies. We're all thinking of you.

 

[mackjess]

Hi ladies. Still keeping up on my reading and rooting for you all. I've had a terrible few weeks with my time entry not getting done correctly by the admin at work and I quit getting paid a few weeks go, then the daycare lady I'd had lined up since June told me she couldn't babysit now and I'm supposed to be back at work next week!!

I just wanted to pop on and tell Kat I'm sorry about her kitty. They are our furry little babies, and it really wrecks you when one is sick. I'll be thinking of you, and hope your future BFP coming up helps cheer you up.

I love love Zulily. But today they sent me an email asking me, "How's your maternity wardrobe?"

I love love Zulily. But today they sent me an email asking me, "How's your maternity wardrobe?"

Sometimes I get postcards from local preschools. Or coupons for diapers. The real kicker was a month before the woulda been due date, Babies R Us called me personally to help me create my registry........

!! Oh no, that's awful.

 

[Starry Night]

Oh, ES, I would have simply lost it if that had happened to me. I know that it was awhile ago now, but I feel badly for you.

You too, eyemom. I think I'd still not appreciate an email like that as I know there are no guarantees I'll get to use maternity. I hope you do get to look for maternity clothes soon.

mack - that is so frustrating about the pay and the daycare falling through! I hope you find a place that is the best fit for your family.

afm - suffering pregnancy insomnia at the moment. It's the wee hours of the morning and I am wide awake. DS must be having sympathy insomnia because I can hear him chattering away in his room. I want to shout, "Go to sleep!!!!" Mommy mode always kicks in when I hear him. If he's awake I won't be able to go to sleep myself even though he's not distressed or asking to come out.

 

[Kat S]

I love love Zulily. But today they sent me an email asking me, "How's your maternity wardrobe?"

OMG, I know! I got boxes of newborn formula and newborn baby kits in the mail as well as "American Baby" magazine! So painful! I don't know what list I was on...Babies R Us? I unsubscribed, but I guess it was too late.

 

[eyemom]

Aww starry I'm the same with my dd if she's awake. Hope you can get some good rest soon.

Goodness gracious the zulily email was pretty tame and more an annoyance. These other stories are just awful! I'm so sorry that all happened.

My good friend, after her first m/c, she kept getting emails from the hospital about how her baby was developing that week of pregnancy. I had forgotten until she told me that that I has signed up for a similar email thing (different city, different hospital) but I never got a single email, thank God.

 

[Sweetz33]

Oh how awful!!! I think the worst I got was an invitation to a baby shower. My friend and I had the same due date, she had a full term, I MC. She felt soooo bad bc she told her friend to not send me one bc of what happened. I didn't get mad at her bc it wasn't her fault...but it still stung like a million fire ant bites.

 

[MamaTex]

Just popping in to say I am sorry for not doing personals and participating. I do come back to read. The last few days the baby has kept me busy. I am about to try and pump now. I only get about an ounce on each side but it's something.

 

[ESwemba84]

So, I had my MRI yesterday. Last year I had one bad disc. Now I have 2......looks like this back thing is progressive. I meet with the surgeon on Wednesday.....we will see what happens!

But as I was looking through my films, I was comparing them to last years......I had last years done the cycle before I got pregnant. So, I'm looking through the views of the pelvis, and notice something different. My uterus in last years scan looks normal. It's round and good sized. The one from this year, it's much smaller. And not round. It almost looks squished. It has me wondering if I do have scar tissue or something. Granted, last years scan was done towards the end of a cycle, and I'm on like day 5 now, so that might have something to do with the difference. I might show these to my RE.

 

[Sweetz33]

ES I will keep you in my thoughts. Back pains are the pits!

AFM....I have been having weird symptoms lately. Felt flu like earlier. Cramping all day, realllllly bad this morning followed by a super fast run to the bathroom....and tonight I am ravenous! I had KFC, but had potatoes, gravy, 2 chicken breasts, a whole thing of large green beans and 2 biscuits. Me thinks AF is coming soon HAHAHA I am not due for AF until the 6th though. Who knows.....

I hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry you have another bad disc!! Ugh!

Oooh, yeah, good idea to take the films to your RE. I'd want to know, too.

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies!!

Mamatex: Pump away! And no apologies for being to scarce, you have a new born that's breast feeding, it's amazing that you're still finding time to log in. When is her next doc appt?

Es: Sorry ab the bad disc, it has to get better wouldn't u think. At least I hope it does

Kat S: O no sorry ab your cat, to watch your poor pet baby be in pain or getting sicker is hard to swallow esp wen TTC, just take it one day at a time Kat and make your kitty as comfortable as you can, knowing me I'll going on a spoiling spree bc I love my animal babies so much it hurts my heart. Kat I'm thinking ab y'all.

SWEETZ: MY SWEETZ is here, how amazing.....AND having symptons of prego or AF.....i guess we will wait to find out!!! Last time I found out I was pregnant I def felt like a cold was coming on.......this is exciting.....and running to bathroom, I had to pee constantly. If AF don't come by the 6th what's the testing day?

I know I missed others I only read the last page so let me go bk...

 

[Kat S]

My cat had a rough night, and we've decided he's reached the end. We're taking him in for his Final Sleep as soon as the vet can see us.

 

[Sweetz33]

((((((((((Kat)))))))))))))))))) SS

Never the 10th if it doesn't come bc in Aug the little wench was 4 days late haha

AFM: Slight temp rise after a drop yesterday. Still cramping. SUPER gassy lol (eww). Freaking starving this morning haha Slight backache...it is weird bc all the symptoms I am having mimic AF....IDK what is going on.
