Mid-August Testers

[InHisHands]

Sounds like a good plan Bex. My fingers are crossed.

I can't remember... did any one else use OPK's while TTC?

 

[NotNic]

No not this time. I didn't temp either. I tracked EWCM but worked off the assumption that I used to ov CD13-15 which fitted. I think I bd cd13 and cd15 (though maybe it was cd12 and cd14 - I can't remember now!)

You girls are funny with your predictions.

I used OPK's this cycle because I wanted to see if I was OVing the same as before Kellan. I used OPK's previously too.

FX for EOD method Bex! Hope you guys get that eggy this time?

Is pancake day coming up? It's gotta be soon!

I'm sorry to be so me, me, me these past few days. Girls, I think I'm going to have an emotional breakdown today. I am so worried about tomorrow. I am so scared and just have a feeling that things aren't progressing properly. Still no concrete symptoms - had a few little ones but they left on Monday and haven't come back. And I did something stupid. Don't even know why. But I tested on a Wondfo cheapie this AM and the line still isn't as dark as the control. I am so worried that my HCG isn't getting higher. Ugh. I just don't know. I am so scared for tomorrow. I really don't want to go through another miscarriage but have a niggling feeling that I might not have a choice. I'm just so worried girls. At least my appt is at 8:30 in the AM so I don't have to suffer all day waiting. I just don't feel all that confident going into the scan tomorrow.

 

[InHisHands]

Aww snow. I wouldn't worry about cheapy tests... I'm sure they just don't have enough die put into them to make real dark lines. It's like buying Rose art crayons instead of Crayola ...

As far as symptoms go... I remember even on out till 10 weeks I didn't have many symptoms... and I thought for sure I was miscarrying. In fact at 8 weeks, I called my dad up telling him I just KNEW I had miscarried because I had no symptoms anymore and that I couldn't feel the baby. I think our fears magnify things sometimes. Hang in there girl and see what the ultrasound says tomorrow.

I was fortunate enough that I didn't know when either of my ultrasounds were going to happen until I was at the office so I didn't have any of the anxiety when it came to the date approaching.

I'm here for you, and will be waiting to hear an update from you when I wake up in the morning.

 

[NotNic]

I agree with Hands. You can't trust the cheapies. Also when I did that to myself and worried over the FREF OH kept pointing the bit out where it explains that a line is a line and could vary in colour or thickness to the control line. It happens on expensive ones too. Try to stay positive Snow. Maybe this time we aren't supposed to have the same symptoms as before. It doesn't mean it's bad news. Just that we have a different baby. Xxxx

Pancake day is late this year - 4th March. I can't remember the last time it wasn't in February.

 

[Srbjbex]

Oh snow honey I know it's horrible waiting! I don't think anything we can stay will stop you worrying because that's just the mothers instinct in you! BUt as much as you can try and stay positive and remember just because it's different doesn't mean its going wrong.

And yep. Pancake day late this year due to a late Easter!

 

[snowflakes120]

Thank you so much ladies. I really do appreciate the support. I don't know what I would do without you girls.

Boo for late pancake day!!

Got a good chuckle about the rose vs. crayola crayons Hands.

Hoping for the best and saying prayers for tomorrow. I'll update as soon as I can.

 

[NotNic]

Hope all is going well Snow. xxx

 

[snowflakes120]

Just real quick-waiting on Dr. We have a baby with a heartbeat of 117!! Over the moon excited!! Xo

 

[InHisHands]

YAY!!!!! WHOOHOO!!! Congrats Snow! I knew rose art sucked! HAHAHAHA

I'm so happy for you.

 

[NotNic]

Yippee! Fantastic news. Did they tell you how old your pumpkin is? xxx

 

[snowflakes120]

Thanks girls. We are so excited! According to LMP I am 6 weeks 1 day. EDD 10/15/14. Ultrasound measured baby 6 weeks 2 days. They are going with the LMP date though so that is the date! Now hurry up April so I can feel safe out of 1st tri. Think we are going to tell our moms tonight. And tell them to keep the secret til we are ready. Have you told anyone Nic?

Any news on the house Hands?

BDing tonight Bex? OV tomorrow??!! Sending baby dust!!

 

[InHisHands]

yay for the great news! Trick or Treating will be way fun this Halloween. You'll have a toddler on a leash and a baby in a stroller...

As far as the house goes... the insurance will cover the damage, the renters are leaving, and the relator hasn't gotten back to us in 3 weeks and the house still isn't up for rent. It looks like we are going to be eating the mortgage in March.

 

[NotNic]

Not yet Snow. My Dad is back from HK on Saturday a week earlier than expected. I was thinking about telling my parents just before he flew back, when I would be 8wks, but not sure now as I'll only be 7 when he leaves. Apart from feeling tired, I am symptom-less. It's hard not to worry right now plus he'll be back at Easter and I'll have had my scan then. Plus if we tell my parents, we'll have to tell my in laws and its tricky to tell them, and find a time no one else is there!

 

[Srbjbex]

Woop woop great news snow! I am overe the moon for you!

Yep. BD tonight! Again! Haha. Thanks for the dust,

In other good news we accepted an offer on our house today so we are officially sold again, hopefully this time it will all work out!

 

[NotNic]

Woohoo. Page 300 of our thread is full of good news! Lots of baby dust to you Bex and congrats on the house! The only way is up for you.

 

[Srbjbex]

Thank!

300 pages, wow!

 

[NotNic]

Officially in bed before Finlay is asleep!! He had a mammoth sleep at nursery and Daddy took him for a drink in a family pub after work, so he did not want to sleep when he got home! Ive been waiting an hour to go to bed!

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey girls. I had to go to ER super early this AM. I had been up all night vomiting with diarrhea. I think I caught a stomach bug. They diagnosed with severe morning sickness but don't really believe that. I was super dehydrated so they gave me IV fluids and anti-nausea meds. I was also given potassium as it was super low from the diarrhea and vomiting. I am home now but worried that something is wrong with little pumpkin. I have a follow up on Monday with my OB. I'm going to try to see if they will do another ultrasound (don't think they will) to make sure all is well. I'm think it is but I'd like to know for sure. It's been a horrible 24 hours.

 

[InHisHands]

You were worried when you didn't have morning sickness.... and now... you are still worried *chuckles* I love you snow. Hopefully it was just a bug and you'll get to feeling better soon. Praise God for ER's and IVs.

I'm sure big brother Kellan will keep pumpkin safe.
