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

[Starry Night]

never - Christmas 2014 this baby will be 7 months so hopefully no baby number 3 on the way just yet. I still daydream about baby number 3 but odds are we'll be done if we get to keep this one. I think you still have some time to put your stuff away. It's the toddler stage that really takes a number on your breakable stuff!

left - hurray for baby bump!!

pink - I hope today brings you less pain. I can't imagine what it must be like.

afm - m/s finally hit full on last night. Still no barfing (yet...I don't want to jinx things) but I do feel pretty miserable. It's hitting early for me so I hope it's a good sign. I might do what I did with my son's pregnancy and live off of Gold Fish crackers and strawberry yogurt. Not much else is seeming palatable.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Thanks guys I'm just resting lots if my oh will let me, he woke me up when he came in at 4.40 am and I was awake then until at least 6am he's in do much trouble!

Left yay for bump it's so lovely when you can finally see it right and don't worry you'll be huge before you know it lol can't wait for your scan everything will be wonderful I just know it!

Starry I really hope to all the gods that your tree gets trashed next Xmas for all the right reasons, this one is a keeper I just know it!

Never let us know how 'the talk' goes hope it goes well.

Sweetz nausea sounds ominous.....

I'm not complaining but I so wish this was over now, who knew I would miss sill things like lying on my back, sometimes I do it just for 5 mins or so but it's not so good anymore it's like having a bowling ball on you lol

 

[Sweetz33]

Never I am dying laughing...my house looked like a bachelor pad of sorts. Sports memorabilia EVERYWHERE! (DH and I are huge football & baseball fans) Then I had my breakable knickknacks everywhere....I had my house dog/cat safe so I thought, eh...won't have to do much. Then lil Xan got ahold of one of my baseball cards and I was like...hmmmm maybe not. My rule right now is everything BELOW my waist needs to be babyproofed. You walk into my living room and you see a baby gate, foam playmat, teething toys, rattles of all shapes and sizes, high chair, baby swing, baby walker and some baby books. Everything pet or adult related is either out of living room or REALLY scarce. LOL I mean yeah the TV, PS3, Wii and cable box are still in there...but everything else is either in a baby free zone (aka the entry way room) or packed up. There is no doubt that lil Xan is the king of this castle. Even his big brother's room has the occasional baby item in it HAHAHA Did I mention his brother is 18 ROFLMAO

 

[Sweetz33]

OMG I totally understand Pink....near the end I had moved onto the futon in the living room as I couldn't even get on my bed haha only comfy position was side. I tried to lay on my back once...ended up in disaster and me hollering for DH bc I couldn't roll over. HAHA You are almost there girl.....

 

[Sweetz33]

Ok...not sure who has a bump now but WOOHOOO!!!

Starry...my tree is never safe....I have a cat. A very curious and slightly destructive cat.

I talked to DH and we decided since neither of us are in the mood for disappointment, I won't be testing until the 10th if at all possible. AF is due the 6th. I was late in Aug. I always start on the 6th, Aug was the 10th....so yeah. He told me if we are he is super excited....and that he hopes it is a girl lol

 

[eyemom]

Ohhh boy here comes a massive wall of text. Sorry in advance!

ES: So bummed to hear about another bad disc! Hope you can get some relief and you've already seen the worst of it. Hope the thing you noticed about your uterus turns out to be no big thing too.

Kat been thinking of your and your precious kitty. Hope you're holding up as well as possible.

Oh man, timing a pregnancy, for me that line of thought feels like another lifetime ago. Never, I hope everything turns out just how you want it.

Never, sorry about the MIL issues. I hope it gets sorted out. I have MIL issues too of a different sort (DH is only child, DD is only granddaughter). She's home bound to the extreme, which is kind of sad, but it is hard to feel pity because she has done it to herself and she's made zero effort to improve her life. She's only 59 or 60 so it's not like she's really old. When DH and I were dating, she was so much fun. But something switched and now she's basically a horrible wife, mother, and grandmother. I know she loves her husband and her son and her granddaughter. She just sucks at it. Someday I am going to have to try to explain why that grandma has never come to visit even once, not even when she was born, not even for a birthday party. Facetime does not take the place of real life. ANYWAY, sorry didn't mean to make that about me! Go ahead and vent! Did you get to talk to her today?

WOOSAHHHH! I gotta try to incorporate that into my daily vocabulary.

Starry, sorry you're feeling lousy but hopeful it's a good sign!

MamaTex, you really are supermama you managed to sort through everything with a tiny baby at home. Good to see you.

Pink, sorry you're so miserable. Glad you don't have to go back to work though, wow! Can't believe how close it's getting to your little girl's arrival. I came in at the tail end of MamaTex's pregnancy and one other...oh man I'm a bad person, who had her baby just before Mama? Mackjess right? But you're the first I've been around to kind of watch as you go along, so it is so so exciting to know that your baby girl will be here soon.

Re: Boppy pillows. I could not have lived without mine! I had one from day 1, but I didn't bring it to the hospital. Will definitely have to bring it next time, God willing there is a next time. I have heard that other nursing pillows are better? or at least as good. But no personal experience.

Left, YAYYYY for a bump! Just love that wiggling, flip flopping sensation.

Sweetz, the 10th! I understand the reasoning, but daaannnng girl you know how to keep us on the edge of our seats. Also, my rule of thumb for babyproofing...take the distance you think the child can reach...then double it. *lol* My child might just have monkey arms.

ttcmoon, haven't seen you around in a bit, hope you're doing alright.

Sorry all those I missed. Rooting for everyone.

AFM uuurrrrghhhh I wish I knew what in the world was going on. I started on the OPKs early, not really expecting much at first but I've ov'd a on day 12 a couple of times recently and I didn't want to miss it. Libido was starting to ramp up a little bit so I thought it was probably going to be soon. Today, CD 12 (maayyyybe 13 if I counted wrong), In the morning, I started having what I thought was the beginning of fertile CM, so I thought cool I may get my +opk tonight (within the normal range for me). Later in the day, ***SORRY TMI WARNING*** I thought I felt more in my underwear. Next time I went to the bathroom, I looked down and it was BLOOD! Definitely more than "just spotting," more like a light AF day. I have had very light mid-cycle spotting before just in the last few cycles, but never bright red and AF-like, and never this much. It was still nothing a panty liner couldn't handle, but way more than anything I have ever experienced without it being a period. And it's not ovulation spotting because I know I haven't ov'd yet. I'm so frustrated, I just wish I knew for sure what was going on. I did have the HSG on CD 7, and AF at that point was down to a trickle. So I spotted for 2 more days (could have been AF or a result of the HSG or both), then nothing on days 8-11 and now this. No cramping, no fever, no other symptoms of anything at all. It still doesn't seem quite like AF other than the amount and the color. Just so confused. I was all excited to try after the HSG, and now I'm worried about maybe an anov cycle??? (never had one before) which would just mean more waiting. And if it's not an anovulatory thing, none of the other options I can think of sound all that great either. Ugh. But I guess all I can do is just wait and see what happens.

Also worried now, I am using those OPKs I bought on clearance that don't expire til December. WHAT IF I already ovulated and missed it???? But still I never had any other signs. My temp has been all over the place this cycle too, though I didn't temp this morning because I had a sick dd in my bed and I didn't sleep at all. (I know on my chart it looks like my temp is starting to spike but I took it way way late that day so if I factor that in it's not really all that high.) Eghhhhhhh.....

Wait wait wait. WOOOOOOSAAAHHHHHHHHH~

 

[Sweetz33]

LOL yeah I need to be patient...but y'all know me....I will prolly give in. Hubby is bringing me McDonald's as we speak...mmmmm lol

Eye....my chart looked like yours when I was super stressed out and my sleeping pattern was messed up. You think that might be it with you? I also had a light period day too.

My sleep has been crap but it has been crappier. And I've been mildly stressed, but I've endured much worse without it affecting my cycle in such a way. But who knows??? I hope that's all there is to it!

 

[nevergivingup]

Happy Monday ladies well at least I hope it will be.

Starry: that's so awesome how we know how our body will do you said in a previous post that your m/s don't kick in until around 6 weeks and here it is. Oooo the nausea and barely can eat phase....as much as I love those goldfish try to get more then that in your body and not to much of that cheese for constipation is even worse during your pregnancy, I'm thinking the yummy yogurt will balance of out I'm sure u got this under control since you've been through this before but pregnancy take u through a million emotions! And lol I'm trying to impregnate you with baby # 3 via internet already and baby # 2 has to come out, I guess I just need a partner for wen I work on baby # 3. And we're claiming this baby for you so no more "if we get to keep this one", positive thoughts ma'am. This one has to be yours. And the barfing is horrible! I can take all the other Symptns sickness but not the barfing. So I hope that passes u by unless u want it...

Sweetz: Aug 10th O the torture!!! And waking up with nausea...Sweetz if this is AF then she's one mean lady bc the nasty taste in your mouth and being hungry is signs for pregnancy. Lol at your place being a bachelor pad, I actually envisioned it as you were describing it as it sounds awesome!!Xander has his own bachelor toy pad I see so y must they bother our things...greedy babies!! And although my DH say Our DS don't run a thing over here he's in denial that, that little 17lb baby runs it all!

Pink: a Sorry ab this pregnancy taking a toll on your body. Around the end of mine it was painful too but I was so stressed that I gained so much weight I think I was ready for him to come. It'll be worth it once she gets here....and you'll be ready to start on baby #2 in no time...lol. Ok I'm just kidding here I am trying to impregnate u too via internet!

Mackjess: Hi ma'am Did you find a solution yet to your babysitting problems?

Leftwondering: a Yayyy for the bump finally showing!! That is awesome. Now take lots of oics to see how U've grown. So excited for your scan today!!

Eye mom: what the world is up with that?? Do u reckoned it's from the hsg test? For you to bleed like that and not be AF def worries me. Did u think ab calling your doc or will they see u for that? When I started using those opks, I didn't take any chances I started POAS on them the first day after my AF even though I knew I wasn't going ovulate until 2 wks after but I didn't want to miss anything due to my body acting crazy after my m/c. I wonder what it is bc you def have my eyebrows raised, I hope you find an answer soon bc I want to reassure you that maybe it's nothing...maybe it's from the hsg testing. Next pregnancy I will def be taking me a boppy pillow to the hospital. And yes ma'am you me and Sweetz can all WOOOOHSAHHH together! It def sounds like you're almost I'm the same situation as me with your MIL. I agree I know she loves my son but it's a better way to show it! And no apologies I'm glad you told me I wasn't the only one with a sorry MIL!

Kat S: Thinking about ya, hope your doing ok.

Hi to all the ladies here and afar

AFM: Well the odds were in my MIL FAVOR, she came late to church today so I missed out on that early window to talk to her before church started. And to add insult to injury she brought her 2 other grands to church and as always walking around so proudly of them and then had the nerve to sit them on the chair beside me and my DH. My DH just looked disgustingly at her and turn his head. We're not angry at the other grands bc they're just babies and have nothing to do with this it's her who we have the problem with. So the whole church service they stayed with me. Then after church we all ate at church so it was too many people around so I couldn't get to her but then while I'm sitting down eating with my baby here she comes smiling and asking to get him with her hands out....of course I didn't want to cause a scene so I just gave him up after almost everyone was gone she didn't have anyone to show him off infront of so of course she brought him bk to me. So once almost everyone was gone I had the chance until my DH found me and said, "Let's Go" so as y'all can see I didn't get a chance to talk to her nor the others who were on my list. I don't want to call bc I rather is be favs to face so bc she's a 1 day 30 minute grandmother I will have to wait until next Sunday to talk to her......WOOOHHSAHHHH!!! AF has left the building!!

P.s. Sorry ab any Typos...writing from my iPhone.

 

[eyemom]

Never, sorry you didn't get a chance to talk to her. That's frustrating. Hopefully it won't eat you up too bad until the next opportunity.

I may call the Dr today for my sanity if nothing else. Since yesterday was Sunday, it wasn't really anything to bug the on-call Dr about. The HSG was the only thing this cycle that was truly out of the ordinary, but I don't think this is a normal thing to have happen after that.

We went ahead and dtd last night, hope that wasn't a mistake.

 

[Sweetz33]

DANGIT NEVER!!! *rawr* Just think of it this way, things happen in HIS time, not ours. So maybe that wasn't the best time. Eh? Whatcha think?

Eye, I really hope they figure out what is going on. How frustrating.

AFM Temp went down .01...but I slept like crap. I went to sleep around 1:30, was awoken at 6:30 bc SS missed the bus and locked himself out. Then got up at 8:30 with screaming baby. Have a headache today and am a bit nauseous and still crampy. My breathing is a bit messed up but I am assuming that is my allergies. I am just taking it easy today and trying not to obsess. I got my BFP with Xan on dpo 10....I am dpo 11 right now...so not testing is kinda killing me right now. HAHAHA

 

[Starry Night]

eyemom - yikes, that doesn't sound good. I did have a short annovalatory cycle after my m/c in the fall. It was only 18 days long. I got my bfp the cycle after that. But I think it would be fair to call the doctor considering your hsg.

sweetz - how exciting, I'm holding my breath until you test. I guess you could be getting extreme PMS signs as that happened to me a few times post partum but yours sound more significant. Fingers crossed!

never - sorry that you didn't get a chance to get to speak with your mother-in-law. I agree that this is something better done face to face. Is there any way you could visit her during the week or is that part of the problem?

afm - well, no worries about me eating too many gold fish crackers. I was feeling sick last night so I started nibbling on them and I felt worse!! The yogurt is still OK but I have an even bigger problem. I might be stuck on the brownie diet again. Not only are brownies one of the few foods I can get down, they actually make my nausea go away!! At least yogurts, cheese and pasta and eggs are more natural foods. I forced myself to eat a kiwi fruit this morning but it was like sucking on battery acid. Did not enjoy it at all (normally I love kiwi). Yesterday, I had to choke down a small handful of blueberries. I'm not even attempting veggies at this point. I gag before they reach my mouth. Why can't I crave healthy foods???

 

[eyemom]

I still haven't called, I don't know. Haven't bled anymore today.

Oh man, my first tri I just wanted bland foods. Rice mostly. I also didn't want anything to do with veggies and normally I like them a lot. I did like a kind of vinegary salad I could get from a local Italian restaurant. And pasta after those first few weeks. Hope you can find some good things you enjoy and can keep down!

 

[Sweetz33]

During my 1st trimester all I could eat was ginger snaps and apple cin oatmeal and only thing I could drink was peach juice.

Eye...I would still call. Better safe than sorry.

Ok I broke down and got a test....BFN. I am not due until Sunday so it might be too early LOL. I blame you Never LOL You got me too impatient with your impatience hahah jk love ya girl

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh no sorry sweetz really thought you were, maybe it's too early tho.

Oh never shame about your mil but I guess it can wait another week, just make sure you do it this week deffo!

Eye hope your cycle sorts itself out it's a nightmare to not know what's going on.

Afm well considering I'm not leaving the house and I'm just sat on the sofa watching tv there really is nothing to report, I'm soooo bored I miss being able to go out and do stuff, my oh was supposed to finish early and we were guna have a cosy DVD night but surprise surprise he's had to work after all, so another night on my own, I miss people!
