Mid-August Testers

[InHisHands]

Thanks for the update. Praying for a healthy sticky bean and for peace.

Keep eating the blueberries snow. It's good for your womb lining.

It's very definitely possible this one implanted later. Thinking of you again today. xxx

 

[Srbjbex]

Definitely thinking of you today snow! Stay positive!

Good news girls! HCG went from 31 to 121. More than doubled! Hooray! Scan in exactly 2 weeks - next big hurdle to overcome!

Dr. is supplementing me again with the progesterone so I am super happy about that. I feel much better about being on it. Reassures me at least.

 

[InHisHands]

WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! That's so amazing Snow! Thank you for updating us. I can't wait to see little kellan's brother or sister. and Elliot just may have a birthday partner!

 

[NotNic]

Brilliant numbers snow!! Yay

 

[Srbjbex]

Yay great news!!! So happy for you snow.

I had a bfn today at 10dpo ...I know it's still early but confirming my hunch that this month is a no for me

That coupled with the fact Elliot is poorly, got a virus thing I think, and still not resold our house means that I'm going through a down patch

 

[InHisHands]

Aww Bex. I'm sorry that things are so rough right now. It's hard when the little one is sick and so much is going on. Hang in there. Things will get better.

We too have a house that we can't sell. It is a bit stressful at times. We are okay for right now, but if it doesn't sell in 4 years we will really be hurting. Is renting the house an option in the mean time? That's what we had to resort to.

 

[snowflakes120]

Thanks so much for the support girls!

I am sorry for the down patch Bex. Keep your chin up girl. They say things happen in 3's - sounds like you got your 3 so things should pick up soon.

 

[NotNic]

When are you due AF Bex? Are you definitely out? What's next for you Snow? Are you going to have regular appointments?

How's the potty training going Hands?

I have the first week in Marg off for potty training boot camp

 

[snowflakes120]

Nic - great about having a week of potty training. I am super excited about the 100 days project! I need something like this! I have my 1st ultrasound and an appt on 2/20 - I won't be watched as closely this time bc I'm not with the RE and just my OBGYN.

Bex - have you tested again? Hope your feeling more up and can enjoy the weekend relaxing.

Hands - I think the economy is finally making a turn for the better. I hope you can sell soon. We are looking to move in a few years too and are hoping to get at least what we paid for it.

 

[InHisHands]

Snow - We actually were going to sell our home back in November. It was valued for 5 more than what we owed... allowing us to list it for that price and not take a hit on closing costs.

Since November our house has decreased in value by 7,500 due to other homes in the area listing and selling their homes for less. Now we are upside down again and are forced to rent it. We currently are looking for renters. Want to move to Georgia? haha

I sure do hope things do get better soon and that by the time you guys move that the market is good in your area.

 

[NotNic]

So you wait awhile for a BFP and then two come along at once.... TBH I thought I was pg as I've had spotting like my IB last time, only this time there was more and some cramping, so I've been putting off testing until I was past CD28 days but those lines were very dark and clear. Still feels a bit of a shock though as I haven't really been trying. I still haven't told OH!! All going well I think my due date will be 14/15th Oct.

 

[snowflakes120]

Omg! Nic! Bump buddies! I am due Oct 15/16. Holy cow! You waited a lot longer than I to test! I'm sure it was a super dark line! How you feeling? Any other symptoms?! So excited for you!

TMI I had some weird colored discharge so I'm a bit nervous today and plus still don't have any symptoms except a backache which can mean good and bad.

Bex! Your next. Like I said things happen in 3's!!

 

[NotNic]

It was a very dark line! To be honest I couldn't figure out when to test. My cycles haven't been as short this time, but last month was short and the cycle before 32 days! Also I started spotting on Tuesday and I was still getting a tiny bit on Thursday, so I wanted a few days without it to see if it was IB or AF. Since IB was quite late, I suspect I'll be pushed back a few days, so likely to be after you once we've been scanned. (All going well)

I'm having back ache and cramping too Snow an my IB spotting was a mixture of pink and very dark discharge (sorry for tmi) so you could be experiencing the same. I've not really got any other symptoms. I did feel nauseous on Friday am but nothing since. Last time I was fine until 5 days after I tested and then bam the ms hit. I'm really hoping I might escape it this time. How were you with Kellan? I am so excited to be bump buddies! It seems only right since we are birthday buddies, Kellan and Finlay are almost birthday buddies, that these poppy seeds are supposed to share a birthday too! xxx

How are you Bex? Xx

 

[InHisHands]

Whoohooo!!! I'm so excited for you guys. What excellent news! I totally want to hear all the details since I can't have anymore. At least not with hubby.. ROTFL

oh my goodness... please don't tell me that you are going to make us wait 9 months to find out what you are going to have again Nic. That was so torturous last time.

I can't believe Kellan and Finlay are going to be big brothers! I guess we will have to wait to find out if the boys will still outnumber the girls on this thread or if the girls will make a come back.

 

[NotNic]

Ah Hands. Sorry to say I don't think we'll find out again At least that's what we think atm. If its twins then we will (but I'm praying its not!) I totally couldn't cope with two newborns. I think Finlay will make a great big brother, but I'm a little sad he will have to share me. He's my little mate.

 

[InHisHands]

Nic - maybe you'll feel differently when you meet your new little one. I've heard plenty of parents say things along a similar line but find out when their next little one gets there that those feelings and fears go away and their love just grows. Your love will be large enough that it won't feel like you are having to share your time and affection between children. It's just an all encompassing thing.

BTW the whole sharing thing was one thing I was concerned about too before we decided not to have more than 1.

 

[Srbjbex]

Oh wow what amazing news!!! Elliot is going to have another birthday buddy!! Wow that's amazing! So happy for you Nic, and such good string lines too.......maybe it is twins!! Haha!

Sorry to burst the bubble but AF got me on Friday so feb was not so lucky for me this month I knew it was coming really, but onwards and upwards and I have stockpiled on blueberries and grape fruit!

 

[NotNic]

Boo Bex! Next month it will happen! Any symptoms now Snow? So far no nausea but I'm already a bit bloated and constipated. I've also got really shaky hands. I don't remember having tummy problems this early but I remember 8/9 weeks was quite bad before. Most of my symptoms didnt register last time as I felt so sick! I think I was blissfully unaware of what was about to hit me. This time I've begun stockpiling home cooked dinners. Finlay's too young to only eat veggie food! Keeping fingers crossed for a healthy bean as it hard not to get ahead of myself.

Hands how's the potty training going? Any news on whether your hubby will need to leave you guys again soon? xx
