Need a TTC buddy

[dragonfly26]

Hello ladies, how is everyone?? Happy Belated birthday to you Mrc-c, and happy birthday to you membas!!! La Rockera, I never would have guessed waxing could be harmful, but like membas said, many girls do alot worse things when they are in tww and pregnant, so I wouldn't worry about it. Minnegirl, if you did it saturday and you o'd on sunday, that is perfect!!! you definately can not count yourself out!!! I'm doing good. I don't think that it has fully set in yet. We both told our p's and our sisters. I asked that they not say anything to anyone, and guess what? Friday we went out to eat w/the in-laws and afterwards went to a get together in my parents neighborhood. everyone was gathered near the end of the driveway. Well my dh drives a lifted truck and as we were getting out my mil says "now that your pregnant, you won't be able to do that much longer." someone there heard and that was it, it is no longer a secret. I was so upset, I just couldn't believe it. I really haven't had many symptoms, just wake up super hungry and much more tired during the day. I am crossin my fingers that you ladies get your BFP this cycle!!!

Well, my doctor just called. I do love how she follows up. Recall last week I had an US for what we figure was cyst pain--well she was out of town. I got a call from the nurse the day of my US that said basically "we can't see any reason for your pain on the US, call us if you have any questions" That's about it. So my dr. just got back in town and she saw I was in and reviewed my US and wants me to come in for a quantitative hcg to see if I'm at 2000 yet. She said if I'm not, I'll go back in 48 hours and see what the # is. Once I get to 2000 she said we could perhaps take another look at the US and see if peanut is there (she called it peanut). So--on my way to shower and into the lab for hcg. I hadn't really given it much thought since the US--they told me it was too early to see anything, so I didn't really worry....she was concerned I had been worrying myself since nobody really explained much to me...so she wants to be proactive and see my #'s. Sounds good to me. I all of a sudden just got really nervous though. I know i shouldn't be....So off I go to get some blood taken and she'll call me tomorrow. I do love her...she's being thorough.

 

[MinneGirl]

Good luck, Membas! I'm sure you are just fine Let us know how it goes!

 

[LaRockera]

Dragonfly, I'm so glad you're doing well my love I'm really, really happy for you! It'll all go well, I promise, you're a mum already! Make sure you enjoy your pregnancy journey, my babe

Membas, I'm sure it's all absolutely fine

Keep us posted girls! You'll be giving us inspiration and the optimism to be patient

Off to for me... Already midnight in Greece, and the heat does not help, it exhausts you... Had quite of a walk this morning without putting a hat on and I've been feeling a bit sicky (a tiny tiny bit, nothing worse than deterring me from going for a swim) ever since. I also forget to drink water and get dehydrated- at least I have teas and stuff throughout the day.

Paperwork of the wedding is also so far so good... Oh, and my University issue? This turned out the way I was hoping, so am really pleased

Nighty night, girlfriends xxx

 

[dragonfly26]

Membas, I am sure everything is okay, please keep us posted, and try not to stress yourselve out!!

 

[membas#1]

Hi girls. Thanks for the reassurance. I'm pretty good...went to lab, gave blood (3 vials! for 1 test?) Anyways, she said doctor put a 'stat' rush on it so they'd have results today but doctor said she may not call till tomorrow. It'd be nice if she'd call today and say all is well Keeping the PMA, and not going to let this worry me. I can't do anything about it, it's not in my control, so I have to just let it go and think the best. It was hard not to be worried at first with the undertone of my conversation with her...but she was upbeat, positive and congratulated me...So trying to focus on the positive

Just went and picked up ice cream for tonight...oh YUM.

 

[membas#1]

Hi girls..another update. Dr. called me back already--only 2.5 hours after the blood was taken! That's so fast. My hcg is 2800! She said that's about where it should be, so that's good news She still wants to see me this week for an ultrasound and appointment to make sure all is where it should be. I hope I get to see my nugget (or booger as SO calls it). Guess we probably won't see too much since I'll just be past 5 weeks, but at least hopefully the sac where it should be Thanks for all your reassurance. I'm glad the numbers were where they should be.

 

[MinneGirl]

Yay, membas, so happy for you

 

[BabyDreamer82]

Hey Membas, thats awesome!!

 

[membas#1]

Thanks ladies...still had my moments with it tonight "what if it's not in the right place" etc...but that is probably normal...hormones make it hard to just move past and let go. But had a nice evening walk with SO then ate ice cream (more than I should have) and drank a nice cold glass of milk All dairyed out. Trying to keep the PMA and realize what will be will be, and if something is not right they'll catch it early. Thanks again for all your support. It means a lot to me

 

[LaRockera]

Yay, membas, I'm glad it's all gone well

Glad you enjoyed your ice-cream, too

xxx

 

[MinneGirl]

Mornin' my favorite girls!

Membas, I just know everything with your bubs is OK! Keep the PMA, okay?!

LaRockera, did you and your brand new hubby enjoy the wax?

BabyDreamer, are you trying digital opk's this month? I know not yet, but closer to 'O'?

Mrc-C, did you get any offers on your place? Or hear anything on the job?

Dragonfly, you thought about baby names yet?!

As for me, temps were down again this am. I totally give up. I have no clue what is going on, and I'm done speculating. I just don't think my cycle is going to work itself out. At this point, I just want the witch to show up, so we can try again--for real.

 

[LaRockera]

LOL, nope, have not 'enjoyed' the wax yet, the heat has reached a point that's deterring

Now, this is going to sound really dumb, but have you tried another thermometer? Tbh this is why I gave up temping altogether- waaay too much stress. I've recently read that it can be a very confusing method as well, as temp differences my sometimes be minimal and cause unnecessary stress. So I'd give it a rest, seriously. If you're worried about what's happening talk to your gyno as I did, and then forget about the thing like you used to.

I'm gonna go check your journal now

 

[membas#1]

Minne...yeah the temping thing can cause stress. Question--do you temp orally or vaginally? I found my temps much more stable and reliable with vaginal temping this past month. I did both for a while and V temps were always consistent--oral not so much. GL hun!

 

[MinneGirl]

I guess I trust my thermometer because the last 3 cycles that I was temping, they were so consistent. Hmmm, I agree- I am done temping! What will be, will be! I guess I found it comforting to know that I was indeed ovulating, which was always abundantly clear on past charts. Oh well, I will stop bit*&ing about it and just relax!

 

[MinneGirl]

Oh & I've been temping orally. NO MORE though! I'm done with that damn thing for a while!

 

[LaRockera]

Good decision.

Remember, about 10% of our cycles are anovulatory. If you know for a fact you're ovulating normally, as your previous charting demonstrates, stumbling over an anovulatory cycle will only make you anxious about the next one

Trust yourself, trust nature and rocknroll

 

[membas#1]

agreed--relaxing is the best route GL to you!

Update--had 5w1d scan today and verified sac was in uterus the tech said sac was tiny but not sure that really means anything..of course it's tiny! Visit with doctor tomorrow to sum up and move on! YAY

 

[MinneGirl]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bean is right where it is supposed to be!

 

[membas#1]

SO was bummed that there was only 1. He really hoped my twin gene would come through-i told him it'll come when we decide to have #2 and then we'll be screwed and outnumbered. He said but i wanted twins now. Oh pouty man...I'm glad there's just 1!
