Morning Ladies

Just wanted to let you all know that I got the all clear from the hospital yesterday (so no surgery whoop!). its been a sad and stressful couple of weeks, but I think yesterday drew a line underneath it all. I am finished with being sad and want to be positive and think about the future.

The docs told me to wait 3 months before trying again!! Screw that!!! Do they not know the mental torture that TTC puts you through. there is no way i could wait that long. My mum is a nurse and she says where she works they recommend 1 normal period before trying again.

So our plan is to NTNP until I get my period and then fullt fledged TTC after that. NTNP is the miminum I will be able to do. To go back to contraception after all this just seems wrong somehow.

So it wont be long till I am counting down the days again with you guys. Although you could all get your BFPs before I even see AF!!! Stick with me guys!!

Hugs to you all and thanks for all your kind words over the last couple of weeks xxxxx

snowflake- keep us posted!! And we will be here waiting with you. What are you symptoms? Is there anything different this month from previous?

Bex - so glad to hear from you!!! Even if i get a bfp (which at this point doesnt seem like it will never happen), i'll still be here waiting for you. Somehow this group is far more than TTC buddies.. but one that will last through all the baby bumps.

Hey ladies!! I am super proud to announce that I got my this AM. The lines were nice and dark this time around - no denying this. We are just soo super thrilled. I got my "perfect" month and can't thank up above more for our blessing. His timing couldn't have been more spot on.

Hands - I was way more relaxed this cycle. We didn't use the Pre-Seed at all. And what I really think did it was that we didn't BD for 2 days the day before OV. The past few months we BD'd everyday from like CD9 on. So less was more for us in this case. My main symptom was the sore BB's right after OV and still are sore. I also was filling out my A cup a bit better than usual I also had some sensitive nipples. I did have some more symtoms but didn't really want to read much into them: high cervix, stuffy nose, skin is looking horrible, some slight nausea and I got cramps.

Bex - So happy to see you back and got the clear from the Dr's!

Nic - Do you know your EDD yet? FF says June 18th for me. Have you made a Dr. appt? I'm going to call tomorrow and see when I can get in to do whatever they need to do.

Thanks so much for sticking with me these past few weeks or so girls and dealing with my moaning and groaning. Ya'll are the best buds!!

 

[NotNic]

OMG, OMG, OMG snowflakes!!! I am so, so thrilled for you honey! That is amazing news! I am so pleased you waited. Nothing beats getting fat lines! I think we'll be quite close together. I have an appointment tomorrow, but my guess is my EDD will be somewhere around the 6th June.

Bex - I so pleased you got some good news too. I hear that after a loss, you can be very fertile and i've also heard that you don't *need* to wait 3 months. Only you know what's best for you. Massive hugs.

I really love how much good news we have. Long may it continue! xxxx

 

[NotNic]

Snowflakes you haven't moaned! I must have bored you all rigid keeping you waiting for so long

Hands - your turn is coming! I love what you said. We will be bump buddies, new mummy buddies and toddler mummy buddies together. xxxx

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies, sorry I have disappeared. I have just been relaxing and waiting on AF!! I am on cycle day 26. FF says my average cycle is 27 days so I expect to see her real soon!!

Snowflake- so so so exciting!!!!! Congrats on your BFP!!!!!

Ladies that did get their BFP already, do you have names? Are you praying for a boy, girl, or healthy? Please keep us posted! I would love to hear all the little details!

Nic and snowflake- when are your suspected due dates?

Much love to you all. So weird how I feel so connected to a bunch of women I have never met before!! Muah!

 

[Srbjbex]

Oh snowflakes what wonderful news!!! Congratulations. I wish you a healthy and happy 9 months. I am so so so pleased for you

 

[InHisHands]

Congrats snowflake!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you. I sure hope that you and nic will stick with bex, ch, joey and me.

I was a lot more relaxed last month (up until 3 days before period was suppose to come) .. and that didn't seem to have worked with me either.. LOL I guess i was just destined to wait a little longer than others and perhaps not as long as some.

 

[CHDickey]

Yeah, two June babies!!! Who's still in the running?

 

[NotNic]

Apparently I might have a May baby based on last AF and the drs calculations. I have requested an early scan because I don't think that's right. Apparently he has to put down EDD based on that for his initial paperwork and then the scan will fill in the rest. If I am 8 weeks, then I am never going to keep it to myself until new yr

 

[CHDickey]

I know that is going to be the hardest part. Who all have you told Nic?

 

[snowflakes120]

Nic - That doesn't sound right to me either. What did they do at the 1st appt? So I know what to expect. I tried to call and make my appt this AM before work but they weren't open yet - I have to wait to call til lunch break. Do your symptoms seem to come and go? Like I will have cramps then they will go away and then come back a bit later - this normal?

CH - I have only told my best friend last night.

I planned on going home for Christmas and telling family then - I would about 14 weeks or so I should have already had a good US and would be past 1st tri. Once I would get back which would be around New Years - I plan on telling work and friends. It's all very up in the air.

Hands - How ya feeling in your 2ww so far?

Mrs Bea - Can't wait to hear about your appt tomorrow!

 

[InHisHands]

Nic, Bea - Keep us posted

Ch - im still in the running at 6dpo. (I'm a little off from you guys now due to a late period and late ovulation) How many days are you?

Snowflake - Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully morning sickness and etc won't keep you from being able to fullfill it.

--- All im feeling currently is the same ol same ol symptoms... sore nipples and yesterday i had AF cramping.. which would be too early for implantation since implantion happens 6-12.. and yesterday was day 5. My cycle is out of wack this month lol

So far I have told OH, the doctor and BnB and no one else! My Dad works abroad and I really want to tell him and my Mum in December when he's back. It's their first grandchild, and I feel like they should be the first to know. I also don't want to tell work yet because I don't like my boss, plus my Mum is a mortgage advisor and I know that some of my colleagues are her clients and I don't want someone letting slip to her!

I've just had a chat with the Early Pregnancy Unit (the Dr only contacted them this morning). They agree with me, and think that my calcualtions seem more likely, and I'm probably around 5.5 - 6 weeks. I am booked in for an early dating scan on Friday 21st so I'll know more then.

Snowflakes - all he did was take my blood pressure, worked out an EDD for my paperwork and had a quick feel of my stomach. As I had tested again this morning, he didn't need me to do another test (though some doctors do like you to do a test there and then). The first appointment was really so he can send off my details to the various teams. After that you have a proper booking in meeting, meet a midwife, and someone sends you info about the scan dates. I'm a bit vague about the order these things happened because this morning was a little bit overwhelming!

Don't worry about symptoms coming and going - especially the cramps. Your uterus is stretching, so there will be odd cramps. I have some days where I feel nothing and others when I don't feel too good. In fact this morning I had to head to the bathroom about a minute before I was due to see the dr, because I had a huge wave of nausea! He laughed when he saw me, and he said that he thought I was coming in to tell him I was pregnant! I guess when I showed up with a MS face, he didn't really need to see the postive test I brought in, just in case!

CH - Did you test this morning? Any news? xx

Hands - Lots of to you. I have lots of faith that a BFP is coming. xx

 

[MrsBea23]

Snowflake - Congratulations that is great news so pleased for you.

Bex - So pleased you are feeling better and you got the all clear, hopefully your 1st month back will be the one.

Nic - That is good that you get an early scan, I had one at 6 + 4 and 7 + 5 and it was great to see everything was ok.

:wave: CH and hands hang in there I am sure it won't be long for you guys as well

 

[Srbjbex]

Had my first day back at work today.... Was a bit strange. I kept thinking "last time I was here....." etc. But still, good to be back to some kind of normality.

So much positivity on this thread at the moment, really making me smile, so many babies to look forward too!! i love the fact we can share everything on here.

CH and hands, how you both doing? When are you planning on testing?

 

[InHisHands]

Im doing good. I don't feel anything out of the norm, so i don't think this month took. However, if i havent started by oct 21, then i'll test... but i should start my period aroung oct 17-18th... if there is any sense of "normal" in this period and that the LP is about the same.

 

[NotNic]

Don't knock a squiffy cycle Hands. It worked for me and I really didn't feel any different for much of that time!

CH - any update at all? X

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies!!! The witch got me this morning!! I knew she would since we only BD one time in the window!! Hubby and I talked last night, we are going to give it a good go this month!! Any suggestions from those of you who have gotten their BFP? How often did y'all baby dance, any supplements, any tricks?

We are going to try this month then give it a rest in November and December. Have to sign up for short term disability today, which won't kick in until January!!! After that all is fair!!! Since I am a teacher I need the short term disability because we only get 10 days since we receive so much other time off. Here's to catchig an egg this month or in 2012!!!

Bea- can't wait to hear about your appointment!

Hands- hang in there, you are still in the running!!

Seems I will be the last to catch the egg, but oh well God will give it to me when he believes it's right for us!!! Have a fabulous Tuesday!
