[Tink_]

Wow, congrats Caro!

 

[twinkie2]

ILT-sorry you had to see a bfn, fx'd for all of us still waiting.

Baby dust to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Caro523]

Thanks ladies!!! We're still in shock, I can't believe it!

Kel countdown to US begins I'm so excited for you!

Confusion you said it when I told you about my stretching feeling and honestly I thought it was weird. With DD I got round ligament pain but late in my second trimester. When I asked Dr. Google about the pain it also brought up a possible cyst so I wasn't sure. To top it off, I think I may have a UTI so I thought the stretching pain could also be attributed to that

I'm taking a clear blue digi test in the am tomm and I'm going for a blood test and to get antibiotics if it turns out I do have a UTI.

Keep those coming!!!

Thanks Twinkie! I'm ready for AF to show. Just waiting impatiently so I can start the next cycle. How are you doing?

Congrats to all of the BFPs!

Thanks Twinkie! I'm ready for AF to show. Just waiting impatiently so I can start the next cycle. How are you doing?

Congrats to all of the BFPs!

Same here, slightly better emotionally today than I was yesterday. Took another test and of course bfn. I also took my temp this morning and it was 96.8 which is my normal pre-o temp so pretty positive I'm out. Temps were slowly dropping over the past 2 days and this just really reinforced it for me. Just hoping the witch is one time (if not early!!) so I can get a new countdown started. Still feeling really gutted, but at least I'm starting to think about a new cycle. I know not out til she shows, but the signs aren't very promising. Hope she comes soon for you too so you can also get onto a fresh cycle! When are you supposed to get AF?

Still so very happy about all the bfps so far and can't wait to see some more. How is everyone else doing?

I've been avoiding caffeine like the plague, so pretty sure I'm going to go get a nice big cup and try to get caught up on workMMMM!!

I'm also already trying to find things to look forward to, to help the next cycle pass without concentrating so much on ttc. For instance, the end of March early April should be nice enough weather here to get outside and work in my flower beds (I've been itching to do this all winter!!) I know that will be a great distraction in my down time. Of course, the crazy person in me is already calculating dates based on the next cycle and AF hasn't even arrived Got get excited about something, right!?

 

[confuzion]

Sorry you were feeling down twinkie , I'm going to hang around these threads until you, ILT, jbb, lirpa, and all of the ladies I know and love get their BFPs. Shouldn't be too long now!

 

[twinkie2]

Sorry you were feeling down twinkie , I'm going to hang around these threads until you, ILT, jbb, lirpa, and all of the ladies I know and love get their BFPs. Shouldn't be too long now!

Thank you confuzion!! I feel the same way about many of the ladies on here. Once AF arrives, I'll probably get a continuing thread opened up for April so that we can keep this lovely group together. How are you feeling? I see you changed your status, that makes me so happy. Wishing you the very best over the next 9 months and I'll have to keep stalking your journal so I can get all your updates!!

 

[confuzion]

I'm feeling good twinkie. Getting more symptoms which is reassuring. But have to admit, I still get very worried. Loss changes you. Pregnancies are never the same joyous times they were before

I just hope you ladies never have to experience it.

 

[KElwanger]

Confuzion- exactly. It makes me angry that the joy of at least early pregnancy has been robbed from me because of my two losses. I'm feeling pretty good because of my blood work but I still feel traumatized by what has happened and almost just expect to see blood every time I wipe. Hoping that both of us can find a sense of peace until our first ultrasounds. Hugs!

 

[twinkie2]

to Kel, confuzion and anyone else who has ever had a loss. I can not imagine how gut wrenching it would be to go through what you've had to endure. Positive thoughts, vibes and prayers going out for all those that got their bfps!! I really think you've got this one confuzion and Kel, you both deserve it so much! These sure are going to be some lucky babies, how could they not be when their mommas want them so much!!! Sending love to you and your little beans

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Confuzion, thank you!!! I am sure everything will be fine . We are here if you need to vent as always .

Twinkie, I totally understand how you feel. I know that I haven't been in this TTC business too long but I am learning to just keep doing what I was doing prior to TTC...just in a milder mode .

I am emailing my OB for fertility specialist referral this month. I think it's time. I know that there will be a lot of tests coming our way but I am ready for it. Thankfully DH is very supportive and willing to do anything as long as I am happy . Happy wife = happy life hahaahhaha. I love gardening and have been doing that lately. Unfortunately, we are missing the rain here in California!! My poor bulbs.

Anyway, looking at my temp that keeps going downhill, I am pretty sure that AF is going to be here tomorrow . FX AF will show up on time Twinkie!!

Haven't heard from Lynny lately. Lynnyyyyyyy :wave: hahahaha. How are you doing?

Kel and Confuzion...ditto what Twinkie said!

 

[twinkie2]

ILT-tell you what, I'll pack up some of the snow in my yard and ship it to you, by the time it gets there it will be melted and you can use it to water your bulbs!! What do you have, I'd like to get some more bulbs in one bed as I have a ton of summer daisies and would like to get some early blooms for spring but not sure what I want besides tulips and daffodils (I'm still a beginner when it comes to gardening...only the tip of my nail is green, the rest of the thumb is trying to catch up!)

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Twinkie!! Hahahahahahhah!!! Please do. We are on possible drought watch and water ration. Might need to make hubby take showers at the gym so I'd have water to water my plants! haahahhaha. I used to kill everything that I planted but learned a lot from....wait for it...HGTV! So far on the front yard I have 3 different type of lavender, rose bushes, border daisies (only roots right now since I just planted them), a few bougainvilleas, peony, ranunculus, and a couple more that I can't remember. I am planning to plant more maybe this weekend. Btw, epsom salt is wonderful for plants. It makes the leaves super green and give more flower . One of these days, I want to make one of those fairies things.

 

[twinkie2]

ILT-good idea to make hubby shower at gym! I'll have to try the epsom salt on my plants this year! Thanks for the info. Both sides of my family are big into gardening, unfortunately, I only have one grandparent left to get all their knowledge from. Over the past few years I've split a ton of my grandmothers overgrown perennials for my own garden, but I can never, for the life of me, remember any of them! I think I'll have to have grandma over for lunch one day and walk outside with her and a notebook of what is where so that I have a reference guide. (Don't misunderstand though, love me some hgtv when it comes to my garden!!)
I did start putting left over coffee and coffee grounds in the pots of my house plants and it has really perked them all up and made them more green, they always look so gross at this time of year before spring really gets started. Thanks to dh's uncle who gave me this great type (if anyone wants to try this, make sure it's straight coffee, no sugar or cream added to it. I usually just dump the little bit that is left in my pot, or just put in the used grounds and water them in on the next watering.)
Just looked up bougainvilleas because I wasn't sure what it was, oh my, those are beautiful...wondering if I have a place to put some...and if my zone can tolerate them...something to look into, so thank you!

Decided to go ahead and start an April thread as I know some are ready to move over from March to April.

Twinkie, I knew that coffee ground suppose to help with cellulite! hahahaha. I have to google it! Look at what I found: https://www.rd.com/slideshows/13-surprising-uses-for-coffee/#slideshow=slide1

 

[twinkie2]

From gardening to the wonderful things coffee can do...hey we need to keep occupied in the tww, right!? By the way, my cup of coffee this morning was wonderful...may have to have another!
