Mid-August Testers

[CHDickey]

Doctors appointment day!!

 

[NotNic]

What time is your appt hun? x

 

[Srbjbex]

GOOOOOOOOD LUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK CH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MrsBea23]

Good luck CH I hope it goes well

 

[NotNic]

Any news CH?

Today's appointment went okay. Yet another mw though!! My fundal height measurement is 26cm so I'm now slightly under again, but TBH I think this mw was a bit more precise and I don't think Pip is going to be especially big. Should get my blood results either on Friday or Monday so fingers crossed for good ones. My arm aches though! She did apologise that I'm going to bruise because in her words I'm a 'good bleeder' and it came out with a bit of a kick. I'll remind them if that next time! xx

 

[snowflakes120]

Hope all went well CH!!

Nic - Hooray for appt!! They always tell me that I have nice veins when I get BW done. Ummm ewww.

 

[NotNic]

We should put that on our CVs!! Joking aside if I can get over my needle phobia I should probably start donating blood. I'm a good bleeder and a popular blood group.

 

[InHisHands]

CH - how did the appointment go?

Nic - How soon will the results come back? I go in for my 28 week tests April 2nd.

Hubby and I are waiting to hear back from his work. Last week we were told he wasn't going to be allowed to be here for the birth afterall. I went to one of his bosses last night and had a talk and im hoping we will get better news today as a result of it.

 

[NotNic]

Fingers crossed for you darling. I really hope they have a genuine reason for why he would have to miss such an important moment. There is very little in life that should override that!

I've been told to call on Friday afternoon, but depending on how many they have to process we may not get results until Monday. How long will you have to wit for your results?

 

[Srbjbex]

CH - any news??

Hands - I really really hope that you're hubby can be with you for the birth! I'm with Nic, they would need a pretty good reason not to!

Nic - I hope that you can get your results on Friday!

Snow - how is your TWW going so far? feeling any different? Did you decide to carry on taking 1 Vitex in the end post ov?

Bea - very exciting that we have a scan on the same day!! How come you are having a scan so far along? Apologies if you have already explained and I just missed it!!

Lisette - you doing ok?

I'm going to post a bump pic soon I think, will try and take one tonight when I am in my PJs -that is when I always feel my fattest! Tonight I am determined to stay awake past 9pm as I really want to watch Masterchef. I fell asleep during the second half of it last night and I am determined to watch the whole episode tonight!

 

[snowflakes120]

Hands - Really hoping that your hubby will be able to be at the birth. I will keep you guys in my prayers.

Bex - Hooray a bump pic from you!! I can't wait! My 2ww is going ok so far. I decided to stop the Vitex and B6 after OV as I now have the Progesterone RX. My teeny bb's are a bit sore but that can most likely be attributed to the progesterone I am taking. Other than that nothing different.

Nic - They won't allow me to give blood - they say I don't weigh enough. I about 10pds under what they require. I've tried and they deny me.

Well, I found out today that my OBGYN appt last week wasn't covered under my insurance so I now have to pay $321 out of pocket for the visit. I guess my shitty insurance doesn't cover anything fertility related. Doctor put my diagnosis in as infertility which I suppose Luteal Phase Defect is. Just sucks. Just another stressor for me. I really need this to be our month. I getting kinda deflated at this point.

 

[MrsBea23]

Hands - That is pants I hope they let him stay, you would think they would make a concerted effort wouldn't you I mean you don't have a baby every day!

Snow - That is a nightmare I am sorry that they have charged you for that visit and with the progesterone on top urgh. I really hope this is your month and then it will all be worth it.

CH - Hope you are doing ok hun.

Bex - I know fun we have a scan on the same day he he. Mine is because my placenta was low lying at my 20 week scan so they are just checking it has moved up, I am pretty sure it has though because I feel her hands punching around down there.

Nic - I hope your results come back ok, I am sure they will. Fundal height is a funny one isn't it so many girls in my NCT class got extra scans because they where measuring small but at the scan all was fine and dandy.

Lisette :wave:

Last day of work tomorrow woo hooo.

I am out to lunch tomorrow for my leaving lunch then going to DH's folks for dinner because it is his dad's b'day and then Friday night have a pre wedding dinner for a wedding we have on Saturday so it is all going to be a bit hectic the next few days, I will be so pleased when it is over although I have kind of shot myslef in the foot and have something planned for every day over the next 2 weeks lol I am just finding it so hard seeing everyone since I am not out drinking on the weekends.

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies. Doctor's appointment went well. Still no treatments. Doc wants to do some more tests to see why his T is low since he has no symptoms. Doc is against cream and injections because it can actually harm the sperm production so...had blood test done on his LSH and LH levels, have to schedule a sperm analysis and a brain MRI to see if the gland in his brain is triggering T production, so still no progress need to find out more info. He did make me feel better about the fact that this can be fixed through medication. So more waiting and seeing

 

[Srbjbex]

Just a quick post to put up my bump pics from last night....what do you think?

 

[NotNic]

Ahh you have a lovely bumpette Bex! Very cute x

CH - I have to say it sounds like that Dr knows his stuff. He could easily have thrown creams at the problem and made you try that for x amount of months before doing anything else. Any idea how long it will be to get the bloods back, and then when all the other tests will be in place by? Will you guys be continuing to NTNP why this is going on? Lots of positives it seems from yesterday's appointment. I like a doctor with a plan!

Bea - Green with envy doesn't cover what I feel for you today. I can't wait to be finished and I don't think hubby can either. The past two days I've worked from home, he's had proper dinners made from scratch (my own sauces and everything!), proper packed lunches and ironed shirts. I'm so ready to have a short stint at being a sahm. I wouldn't be able to do it full time mind you, but the nesting instinct is beginning to kick in. I just need the time away from work to do it!! I hope you have some relaxing plans booked in too Bea.

Hope everyone else is okay xxx

 

[InHisHands]

Bex - Your little lime is showing That's so awesome!

Bea - Are you nervous about the little one's arrival and late nights and etc, or does those feelings tend to subside as time approaches? I hope all goes well with your scan. I still can't believe you are so close!

Nic - 28 weeks!!!! whoohoo! How is Pip moving these days? Are you going to start tacking movements now? I'm afraid i won't feel 10 movements in a 2 hour period with Dexter... he doesn't move THAT much most of the time (at least what i can feel due to this anterior placenta). Though last night i just had a feeling he was laying up against my side and i went and gently pressed into where i thought he was, and sure enough he kicked out.. felt like maybe his knees. Awesome feeling.

Ch - That is great news that a plan is set into motion and that it's fixable! I'm also curious as to when the test results will get back and the scan scheduled. How are you and hubby taking the news?

Snow - Hang in there sweetie. I'm really sorry that your insurance doesn't cover things. I hope this is it for you and that you won't have to go down this expensive long road for long.

Lisette - How is second tri treating you?

AFM - Still no answer from hubby's work. Hubby is depressed about the situation and i keep trying to have hope. If hubby doesn't get to stay till dexter is born, it means he won't see dexter till he's about 9 months old They really shouldn't deny hubby or baby of seeing each other when its only a matter of 2 weeks or so.

BTW it's happy 99 day for me WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[snowflakes120]

Bex - Look at that sweet little bumpie you got girl! LOVE it!! Cute jams too!!

CH - Sounds like you have a def plan in place. That is great news that you have some answers. Things are moving along nicely now for you.

Hands - I really hope you get some news soon so your hubby isn't so stressed. That really is a load of poopy about him possibly not seeing his own son for 9 months! I will continue to pray for y'all. And holy cow - single digits girl!!

Bea - Jealous of you being out of work already!! Sounds like you got some busy weeks ahead - which is good to keep active!!

Nic - Yummy food!! Your making me hungry and it's not even 9 am yet.

Hey Lisette!

It's been so nice out this week - Low 80's. Spring has def sprung here. Tree's are blooming nicely and seeing the daffodils are nice too!!

P.S. 1 week til I test!!

 

[CHDickey]

Great bump pics!

I am currently trying to get the rest of the appointments scheduled for Good Friday. My DH's boss is an ass and doesn't understand anything!!!! So we have to wait until a day off and then get back into the doc to get results. Hopefully we will know more by the second week in April

 

[NotNic]

Low 80's?! I's not even Easter yet you lucky thing! I've tried looking back at your charts Snow and i can't figure out how I can look back at your BFP month. How does today's temp look in comparison? From what I can tell that the temp is slightly higher than usual at this point. All crossables crossed for you. Also apart from IB my only symptom was increased hunger just so you know....

Hands - Are they planning on deploying your hubby then? I'm confused about why they are being like this. On the positives.. Yay for double digits!!!!! I was way more excited by that rather than by our V day. 3rd tri is sooo close. I do feel a lot more kicks but I didn't realise that I was supposed to count them. Surely Pip needs his / her beauty sleep and can't be awake and kicking all day?

 

[snowflakes120]

CH - April isn't that far off at this point! It's going to be Easter before you know it!! I'm sure it's warm by you too now! Spring has sprung??

Nic - Thanks for the chart stalk. I don't have my charts from before the MC shown to the public on FF. My temps right now are higher than others and that is most likely due to the Progesterone I am taking. It is known to raise your temps. Plus, with it being so warm out our house is warmer now too...
