Mid-August Testers

[Srbjbex]

Ah nic...welcome to the overdue club. Not fun but really not long to go either! My advice would be to try and plan lots if things for the next two weeks. That way you not just sat waiting....and then with any luck you will have to cancel!

So......last week I went to the doctors. Initially his first reaction was that he didn't see a reason why I wouldn't be able to conceive again and that while 7 out of 10 couples concieve within a year , 9 out of 10 do so within 2 years so his suggestion was to keep trying for another six months.

Yesterday he called me back and has been thinking about it and has decided (if we want) to refer us for testing. Took me by surprise but I now have blood tests booked for CD21 (progesterone) and day 1-5 (LH and FSH) and OH for a semen analysis.

Took me by surprise a bit....on one hand I am happy as we will get more knowledge, but it feels a bit scary and can't quite believe we are going there...

Guess it can all happen quick sometimes!

 

[InHisHands]

yay bex... what a relief it must be to finally feel like you can get some answers. Don't worry. I went there.

Not sure if you recall... but I was actually in for endometriosis testing when the Doctor stopped the procedure. He said he could tell that was I pregnant (blue cervix). It was only 7 DPO! ... he told me to go home, test in a week... and come back. And sure enough I was!

And remember Snow got help... and she has Kellan and Kennedy now.

I do remember Hands! Thanks so much for your kind words. Will be going for CD21 test a week on Monday but don't know how long to get results.

Bex - I know its a bit upsetting sometimes to know that you have to get tested but at least you may find some answers. Sending hugs. Just a quick note that the CD21 should be done on 7dpo - I think that you usually OV on CD18 or so - your P4 would then most likely turn out looking good if you do it on CD21. I'd try to get it done on 7dpo for the most accurate number.

Hands - Jealous of you DVD collection you have there!! We allow Kellan to watch a half hour of TV and its not even every day. He likes Dinosaur Train the best. Like he loves it!! Hubby has put on the Peppa Pig for him once or twice too Bex - it seems cute. He isn't too interested in Thomas and Friends which I was surprised about. I thought he'd for sure love it.

Nic - Anything going on? Are you walking alot or BDing?! I can't wait to find out gender and hear a name!! How are you feeling? Glad the chest infection is feeling better.

Kennedy gained a full pound and grew 3/4" at her 2 week appt. She weighed 6lb10oz and was 19.25". So happy! BF is agreeing with her for sure! She's my little milkie monster!

Hi ladies! We have another boy! Born today (40+5) at 18.48, weighing a fairly small 7lb 7oz for an overdue baby. Labour was totally different this time. He was almost born in his waters, with the waters going two pushes before his head came out. Started mild contractions at 7ish, proper ones by 10 which started increasing in pain by lunch. Got to the hospital at 3 where they eased right back. At 4.50pm I was 6 cms and he was born 2 hours later!

Bex - good luck for Monday! Will update you guys with a photo and name tomorrow xx

 

[Srbjbex]

Yaaaaaaay! Congratulations Nic! That's fab news....looking forward to hearing more name news tomorrow! Xxxxx

 

[snowflakes120]

Super congrats Nic! Bump turned blue! So glad all is well and labor was good. Can't wait for pic and name!

 

[InHisHands]

Yay!!!! I'm so excited for you Nic! I can't wait to see him. Take care of yourself and looking forward to hearing what you guys decided to name him. Finlay has a little brother!!!!... and I finally got to update my Signature!

 

[Srbjbex]

Thanks for the tip snow on the day 21 test. My doc told me to go 7 days before my period (rather than day 21) but clearly isn't taking into account my short LP. Will definitely be needing you to help interpret my results!

 

[NotNic]

Hi everyone! Meet Sebastian Joseph Alfred Nic. Aka Baby Sebbie.

 

[Srbjbex]

Oh nic he is gorgeous!!! Hi sebbie :wave:

 

[InHisHands]

Awww... he and Finlay will be great together! Welcome to the world Sebbie!

 

[InHisHands]

Snow - Kellan doing any better with Kennedy?

 

[snowflakes120]

Oh nic. He's adorable! Love the name! How are you feeling and doing? How's finlay taking to big bro role?

Bex - will def help interpret for ya!

Hands- he's doing much better! I'll attach a pic here shortly of the 2 of them from earlier this week.

Kennedy was diagnosed with reflux yesterday. We've been having lots of hard times her. So I made an appt. Weve been advised to hold her upright after feeds, sleep inclined, give probiotics daily and gripe water as needed. And worst of all I have to go dairy free. She weighs 7lbs on the dot. Hoping this is short lived and all this helps her.

I'm super scared for Monday to come. I'll be alone with the both of them and I'm so worried how to handle them both at the same time. I've had so much help. I'm just so scared.

LOVE IT!!! Demi even made it to the photo shoot!! That's great!

Snow - Dex had GERD and Colic ... so I'm all so familiar with the routine. I hope things go better for you and Kennedy... but if you want any advice, or a person to shoot ideas off of... I'm here.

Just so you know though ... I was covered with a river of flowing puke/spit up for the first 8 months. After that things did get better, but he still had issues with spitting up till he was 14 months old. I hope Kennedy recovers faster than that. For both of your sakes!

 

[InHisHands]

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

[snowflakes120]

Happy Halloween!
