Mid-August Testers

[Srbjbex]

Hey ladies. How are we all feeling?

Snow - ive been thinking about you a lot today, And I wish so much there was something I could do. I hope you are ok,

I'm still silly busy at work (boo) , but the witch is on her way out and I stocked up on opks today. I'm really hoping I ov at a decent time this month and none of this CD 25 business!

I'm doing okay. Hanging in there. Everytime i hear about a miscarriage or a possible one, my heart sinks. I know i feel like everything with baby is fine, but because i "dont know it" i get a little scare and just pray for my baby and for the ones who are in limbo or know that they have lossed their lil one.

Baby was craving cheese pizza today so i let baby have some ... lol I seriously am so bloated i look like i could be 5 months along... and i have gone up 2 bra sizes... and only have gained 1.5 lbs .. whats up with that?

My mother said she had to start wearing maternity clothes at 2 months due to the bloat... maybe its genetic?

Snow I am thinkng of you so much for today. I'll be with you in spirit at the doctors and I'm sending all the positive and supportive vibes I can muster. I am wishing so hard for the good news you need.

AFM - I have my first stinking cold. Normally I would dose myself up and plough on through, but giving in to it and having a days sleep seems much more sensible. Having a bad cough when you have ms is truly horrible. So far ms hasn't really made any difference to the scales but I wouldn't be surprised if this week it does. MS and catarrah make things taste really bad.

Hands - my best friend was in maternity wear at 7 weeks. She put on 9pounds in her first tri and it ended up being pretty much water. I know what you mean about bloating. I start the day quite normal and finish looking like I could pop. With a bit of luck yours will settle down soon. Just try to wear comfy clothes if you can or maybe buy one or two bits for work which are looser and more comfortable.

Bex - good luck with those opks. Lots of your way.

CH - any update from you? How are you feeling?

Mrs Bea - do you have a mw appt coming up soon?

Lots of love to everyone
Nx

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers girls. It really means alot to me.

My numbers came back and they were 22,000 on Tuesday and 23,000 today. So they are going up but not where they should be with a viable pregnancy. My Dr. said with my numbers we should have been able to see a yolk sac and fetal pole by now which we did not. She is calling it a missed miscarriage.

Hubby and I made a long hard decision that if my numbers were dropping that I would wait it out naturally. But since my body is stupid and still thinks I pregnant and they are going up only by a little bit and are still pretty high - Dr. said it would take while to go down and for my body to naturally do this. Hubby and I decided that I will take the pills tomorrow. I really hope it's not too bad and that it clears everything out. We are both taking off work for personal reasons. I am very sad and upset. Today is better than Tuesday and yesterday. Part of me is in denial and part of me understands. I am dreading tomorrow. I wish it was all just a bad dream and I could wake up.

Thanks for being my support team girls. I love you and don't know what I would do without y'all.

P.S. I promise I will put Demi's Halloween pictures tomorrow too...

Hi Eveyone,

Snow - I have been thinking about you lots as well, I really hope you get a good result today .

Hands - I have put on 12lbs already! I really need to cut out the chocolate and cakes ha ha. It is only this week I have actually popped out and got a firm bump although it is still easy enough to hide behind baggy clothes. The bloat should subside a bit for you in a few weeks hun

Bex - Glad it is almost time to start trying again good luck this month.

Nic - I am usually pretty good with a cold and sore throat etc but I got sick last week and had to have 3 days off it really threw me that is just the way it is I guess. I have a midwife app on Monday not to sure what is going to happen though.

CH - How are you getting on? How is your dad?

 

[MrsBea23]

Oh Snow I must of been typing as you where posting. I am sooooo sorry to hear the results where not good hun big to you and you DH.

If it was me I would of chosen the same option I really hope it is not painful and is over quickly.

I really am sorry to hear this is happening.

 

[NotNic]

Snowflakes I'm so sorry. Like Mrs Bea, I think I would have made the same decision as you. As hard as it is you need to make sure that you are well. Your health is the most important thing right now. I too hope that is over quickly, and that you are okay. Lots and lots of love to you and your other half honey and really looking forward to seeing Demi's pic xx

Good luck for your appointment next week Mrs Bea. Hands do you have any appointments coming up yet?

Hope everyone else is okay. I feel like as a group we have been through so much together all ready. xx

 

[Srbjbex]

Snow- thinking about you loads and what you must be going through. I think you have made the right decision, even though it is a sad and painful. It sounds like your relationship is very strong and you will get through this!

Well I have had another late night at work, not left the office before 7pm this week, which is not good seeing as I get in at 8 most mornings. Sooooo glad it is Friday tomorrow, plus it's my birthday so I am going to the dogs in the evening so I hope my luck is in!! Can't wait! Then lots of family stuff planned for the weekend, so hopefully all the stresses at work will be a distant memory soon!

CH - how long is left in your 2ww, do you have a test date in mind?

I agree Nic, we seems to have been through a hell of a lot together on this thread. Time for some good news I think ..... So a BFP from CH would be just lovely thanks! Sending all baby dust your way!

 

[InHisHands]

Snow - I am so sorry for your loss. I wish i could take your pain away, but the best i can do is be "here" for you and to lift you up.

Nic - I agree we as a group have gone through so much together. 5 bfp's... 2 angles... one potentially high risk downsyndrom .. and one still working to get her first bfp. Doesn't sound like we as a group would do too favorably at the lottery.

AFM - Im doing good... no morning sickness today. Nic do you have days where things are real good, but then like the next day the symptoms are back again??? A part of me is terrified of a missed misscarriage.. and a part of me is just so sure that i will have a healthy baby in june. I'll be glad when i hit 13 weeks. My first appointment is Nov 15.. but it is only for family history. I have a feeling my first scan won't be until around week 12. *sighs*

CH - how many dpo are you?

 

[CHDickey]

Snow I am thinking about you and praying for you. I cannot even imagine. Thank God you have a DH that is standing beside you every minute! Loads of hugs headed your way!!

I have no idea how dpo I am I stopped temping CD5 and have just been taking it easy. My flow should arrive around Monday or Tuesday, but that's all I know. The 9th person announced yesterday they were preggers...it's in the water here in Texas, but obviously haven't gotten a taste. I will know AF is headed this way if I start to see slight spotting Sunday. It seems to be a regular thing to spot two days or so before her arrival, so I will keep ya posted!!

 

[InHisHands]

CH - don't be too sure of that. I spotted 3 days before i got my BFP... and i normally spot for a day or so before the flood gates...

 

[NotNic]

I think we're quite lucky as we have each other. If I do get a lottery win soon I'll be flying us all somewhere nice and warm so we can all meet and give each other real hugs instead of the virtual ones. Though I have to say those cyber hugs have been just what I needed some days!

MS does come and go. Mine started to fade off a bit about 7 weeks and I do worry, but around that time my breasts became a bit more sore, and then I started having ms in the evening and smell issues, so I'm hoping all is fine. I guess we all have to keep faith that what's meant to be, will be. I believe that you will be okay Hands so keep positive. If you are worried why don't you see if you can have an early scan or borrow a doppler. In the UK we are not encouraged to listen to the heartbeat until 16 weeks as the bean is so small and moves around, but it might give you the reasurrance you need if you can't wait until 12 weeks.

Bex - Happy Birthday for tomorrow! Enjoy the Dogs. I love having a little flutter at the Dogs. So much fun!

CH - Please let us have some good news. It's your turn honey xx

 

[NotNic]

We wrote over each other! I also had spotting before my AF and if I remember rightly, I think it was you who was pretty sure it IB and gave me that bit of hope. Hands and I are both proof that it sometimes works out like that. Plus I didn't have a clue about DPO's either. Squiffy cycles work for us on this thread! Keep us posted. xx

 

[CHDickey]

Will do!! I am probably not going to test until I'm late. We have spent too much money on tests just to be disappointed over and over. Thanks for y'all's PMA!! I need it. Ready to either have a BFP or get testing done!!

 

[InHisHands]

i hear you CH. We had just started our infertility testing, when i got my BFP. Guess we didnt need it. It works out like that sometimes. I am sure you will get your BFP soon... its your turn sis.

 

[NotNic]

Snow - how are you honey? Thinking of you today. xxx

 

[MrsBea23]

Hi Girls,

Snow - I hope things are going ok today. I am thinking about you huge .

Bex - Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Have a fab time at the dogs, I have been to the ones at walthamstowe and they where great fun.

Nic - That is a great idea if i win the lotto I will fly us all to Mauritius for a weeks holiday he he.

CH - Good luck I am hoping for your BFP this month hun.

Hands - A blueberry today woo hoo.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hi girls. I'm bored. And sick of waiting. I took the med's at 10am here and it is now 2pm and nothing. Just cramping and back pain. Ugh. I just want it done and over with. I take a 2nd dose at 4pm. So we will see. Hubby just ran out to get me a milkshake and some movies. We're gonna order a pizza for dinner.

Here are my promised pictures of Miss Demi the Cheerleader - Sorry about her blue eyes! I'm a crappy picture taker!!

[NotNic]

Ah would you look at her! She is officially very cute. Does she have a winter's outfit? I bet she gets a bit chilly when it snows!

Sorry to hear it's been a slow process but I'm pleased that your hubby is taking good care of you. I hope you are not waiting too much longer honey. Big hugs xx

 

[InHisHands]

Happy Birthday Bex!!!

Snow - i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Im deeply sorry for your loss.

Nic - do you know when your first scan will be yet?

AFM - slight nausiousness hit this morning again so i feel a lot better about my lil bean being safe. I know it doesnt sound right, but i actually am happier when im not feeling well.
