MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[melann13]

@omgbaby, yup, LO is just not getting the message.
When I went off of BC in 2012, I suddenly remembered how much AF sucked before BC. I was definitely addicted to my heating pad, Aleve, and the fetal position on the floor with a bucket to puke in. Because of it, I vividly remember my last AF because I couldn't stand up and stayed home from church throwing up in pain. I'm secretly hoping that all that misery prepared me for labor, but I guess for all I know, it just means I have a very low pain threshold. Only time will tell!

Melann: You'll do great! Congratulations on the precious baby you will soon meet! Cherish EVERY moment

 

[Kalush]

omgbaby - Sorry af is being so horrible. How is having the puppy? Yummy, thin mints. Wonder when the Girl Scouts will be selling them at the grocery store.

Nikki - Sorry about af. It would be great if you body was getting back on track.

Al - Sorry af showed up. Glad you were able to make it though the appointment. It sounds like you have a great plan for the year!

gabbygabz - Glad the iui went well. Really hoping to hear about a bfp in a couple weeks!

River - I hope the ivf cycle goes as planned and ends with a bfp.

Athena - YaY for O!

@omgbaby We got Samoas, Thin Mints, and the peanut butter Tagalongs. Yum! I'm so sorry you had horrible cramps. AF is bad enough, but it's much worse when you have to be in pain too. I hope it's over.

@melann13 I hate when cramps/pain are so bad that I throw up too. Ugh.

 

[athena87]

I'm 5 dpo and I started using the progesterone cream. I hope this is it. I'm pretty sure I ovulated from both ovaries this cycle. So I had more of a chance.

Good luck every one.

 

[kksy9b]

Good luck Athena!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@athena87 Good luck! I hope this is it too!

 

[burgbrandy]

Hey ladies! Just wanted to show off my new tattoo!

Still no positive opk yet. I'm super cram py today though. Idk.

 

[momwithbabies]

Melann: Baby yet? Today's my birthday, lol!!!

 

[momwithbabies]

Burgbrandy: That's really cool! Did it hurt like a mother? I'm too much of a wimp to get one, lol!

 

[burgbrandy]

I have plenty of other tattoos and none of them really hurt. I've been through 26 hours of labor so tattoos are a breeze! Lol! I actually almost fell asleep.

 

[RaeChay]

Burgbrandy- I love your work! Is it a Phoenix?
A Phoenix tattoo is something I've thought about. I'm just not sure right now where I'm willing to commit to more space being covered with ink. I have one very large piece presently (from left shoulder, down to left thigh) so it's hard to be sure right now. Especially working in the medical field.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@burgbrandy Nice! How's the fitness routine going? I hope you get a positive soon.

@momwithbabies Happy Birthday!! I hope you had a wonderful day!

@RaeChay What's your tattoo of?

 

[melann13]

@momwithbabies,
No sign of baby. She's being very stubborn. Had bad diarrhea this morning, which is a sign for some people, but I've had it a few times this week. I feel fine digestion wise, just bathroom issues. So impatient...

 

[burgbrandy]

Rae: yup, a Phoenix. I have a large side piece too. And a large calf piece. Lol. and then a few others. I also work in the medical field as a home health aid. My client loves my tats. Lol! What tat do u have?

Exercize is going well...have to tale the rest of this week off and restart week 4 next week. Wanna give my tat time to heal. Its still pretty ouchie at the moment.

Cramps have eased up today but my hips are still sore. I haven't opk'd yet today. I maybe have missed my surge cuz I haven't been testing as much as normal and then I do test, half the time I forget to go look til after its dried. Lol. Very laid back this cycle. Lol!

 

[RaeChay]

Hopeful & brandy- it's the 4 seasons in trees

 

[burgbrandy]

Sounds awesome rae!

Got my positive opk this morning! Yay! DTD is hard cuz hubby got a large tat done on his stomach. Lol!

 

[River54]

omgbaby - the cloth are pretty easy to use and wash. Mine has a bamboo core, and cotton/bamboo surrounding and pul on the back to make sure there is no leaks. Pretty easy to just put used ones in a metal bowl/bucket, and dump in the wash on their own cycle when needed. Pretty similar to cloth diapers and how to treat them.
Don't get me wrong - they are not thick things either - bamboo has more absorbency than cotton, so it is thinner.

Polyp removal went well, they used the same drugs as I would get during an ER, so I am less stressed now about the ER, and know what to expect. I go in Jan 25th for my suppression check, and then I can possibly start stimulate phase

 

[ProfWife]

Venting...

Why would a doctor who knows you've been trying for 15 previous cycles to get pregnant tell you that a uterine infection might be your source, take the cultures, and tell you that if the tests are positive that antibiotics for both you and hubby would be essential...basically a "time is of the essence" speech. THEN when the results come in, the nurse calls far too close to their close time for you to call back, leaves a message that results are in, but that you'll need to wait until Monday to call back?!?

I've told them repeatedly to leave results on my cell voicemail. If they can't do that, perhaps they should have just called back on Monday rather than letting me worry that I have an infection but can't get treated for it until I go through their stupid phone chains to call back and get results?!

Sometimes I wish medical professionals would just use freaking common sense rather than making more stress when I already have anxiety over this taking so long!

So now, I may not even be able to use this cycle due to antibiotics not being given early enough to clear up the issue (if there is one). I'm so angry right now.

If they tell me on Monday that I'm clear and infection free, I'm going to inform them that CLEAR results should be dictated as such in the voicemail to REDUCE their patient's stress levels.

 

[RaeChay]

Prof wife- I totally agree. Being a medical person though, I can tell you that the silver lining (unless your doctor and staff are huge dumbasses) is that you likely don't gave an infection, or they would have been a little more urgent in getting ahold of you. Are there any urgent care clinics or after hours clinics associated with your dictor's? If so, it's possible that they have access to labs and can ease your mind if you call them.
