OMG Snizuits How exciting!!! CONGRATULATIONS Prayers for you to have a sticky bean

HWPG How are you doing ? Any symptoms?

Today is my 3 week Mark post mc So the drs told me to take one last hpt to ensure it's negative and yep! which is a good thing cuz I wont get my new until Friday (at the earliest-and that's super early haha)
Trying so hard not to SS!!! aaaannnd FAIL.

 

[Snizuitz]

Thanks, ladies! I wouldn't have made it through all this time without you and this thread. It's been fabulous! I hope you don't mind if I stalk you all a little bit!

Tlk-- yay for a clean line so you'll be sure it's BFP when you see it! That's awesome!

 

[HWPG]

sniz, i'd love for you to hang around for a bit. hopefully, you've turned the tide for this thread! afm, 3dpo, and SS everywhere, but i know it's nothing so i'm keeping the SS to myself. my sister was due yesterday, so we're waiting for that baby to arrive. my bff had her baby last week. i'm feeling sad and jealous mixed together - why they get it, why i dont, why she gets to do those things before me, it should have been me, etc etc. really trying not to become a green eyed monster! if anything happens with me, i'll keep y'all posted. good thing is that i ovulated, which means if no BFP, i start clomid in three weeks! woohoo!

Omg hon I know how you feel The week I MC I had to go to my bff's baby shower. Everywhere I went there was prego people. Then last weekend I went to meet my new baby cousin....It's hard. But it was better with my Aunt because she had 2 mc before this baby. one at almost 20 weeks and the other was twins! It is frustrating to see it everywhere but in your own home. Just remember that nothing is too impossible for God. And hey-Clomid has good chances of Twins!!!

I'm not just symptom spotting...I'm Symptom OBSESSING

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee- I am so sorry! How infuriating! On the upside, this month could be it for you. I know I badmouth Clomid a lot, but it really did make me ovulate like gangbusters! If I had had an open tube last year, I'm sure it would have worked, so I'm really hopeful for your chances!!

 

[Snizuitz]

Tlk-- what are your symtpoms? I want to know!

Me, I chalked it all up to progesterone, but now I think that my exhaustion was pregnancy-related. Maybe the episode I had with the chest pains was, too? Since they didn't find another cause, I'm going with that. Lol!

In my last 2 pregnancies I had this one telltell symptom. I would feel hungry, like my stomach was empty, but then right after eating I'd be hungry again! I've been having that happen again.....I keep trying to tell myself it's in my head. So I ignored it after lunch yesterday and didnt eat anymore....and wound up with a killer headache. I had cramps in my legs & feet yesterday-Today I'm gassy, the hunger game haha continues and I DONT WANT MY COFFEE-seriously strange!! Another weird one but ears keep popping??? I also feel really light headed frequently. Oh my I must sound like a crazy person

 

[Snizuitz]

Tlk - I don't think you sound crazy! Those sound like possible signs to me! That's good that you have previous pregnancies to compare to. I've only been pregnant one other time, but it was a chemical, so I didn't have time to "feel" pregnant.

Fingers crossed for you!

 

[laustiredttc]

Yey barb, fantastic news huni i pray you have a sticky bean and a happy and healthy 9 months!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[laustiredttc]

tlk, that's sooo weird, i had the same symptom i was hungry constantly and would get a light headache when i didn't eat. I didn't really get many other symptoms either

i am just going to bd every couple of days this month as i think O might be a bit off due to mc, as opposed to the normal between 14 and 16 days. Cant be bothered with the whole opk thing either.

Oh we got good news today as well. We now have mortgage and if everything goes well with everything else should own our first home in 6-8 weeks, yey

oh thank God I am not the only one with the hunger games! haha thats what I started calling it, makes my hubby laugh.

I'll be honest I'm terrified to get my hopes up...I just...I dont know that I can go through that again. I bounced back this time, but twice in a row? sorry feeling sorry for myself.

Hey they say the best way is to bd every other day anyways
Congrats on the mortgage/house

 

[HWPG]

congrats on mortgage, yay!
my RE said absolutely that every other or even every third day is fine (ha, tell *that* to the ladies ttc, though! me included! )
um, if hunger games is a symptom, i've been pregnant for years hehehehe.

no no its not even just being hungry! Thats thing. Its just this permanent empty feeling like I havent eaten in days but even when I eat it's still there!

 

[Brayr08]

Barb-WHOOHOO!!! SO happy for you girl! I pray there is a sticky baby growing in there. Did you ever do a HPT? I would, even if the bloods confirmed it, just so I could FINALLY see those two pink lines.

TLK-I know this is a little late, but welcome. I hope you get your sticky BFP in the next few days.

Mirolee- You and I are very close together. I am 6 DPO today. I hope we both get our BFP's and you won't have to start on clomid.

Laura-Yey for the new house! It was so nice when we bought our own home. And congrats on AF’s arrival (didn’t think those words would ever come out of my…um…fingers?). I hope this new cycle brings you renewed hope and a swift and sticky BFP.

AFM- Where to start…Well, as I said before, I am 6 DPO, but I am POSITIVE I ovulated twice this month. My FS said the meds could stay in my system for up to 3 months, so it wouldn’t be super surprising. On Thursday, the same day as my pos OPK, I had mild cramping and spotting, then on Saturday, I had the same thing. We bd Sat, Sun, Tues, Wed, Thus (+OPK) and that was it. So hopefully I hit at least one of those eggies.

Then yesterday, I got a call from my FS (FINALLY) about DH results from the last two IUI’s. Count: GREAT! Motility: GREAT! Morphology: Not so great…but not terrible either. It’s a 6. Anything under that is bad, but normal is a 9 or better. They said that we could still conceive naturally, but if we did IVF, we’d have to do ICSI also. Which I already figured.

Last night, I had such a realistic dream about being in the hospital with our new baby. She was so small and I can still remember the feel of her in my hands. Kind of depressing.

FINALLY (sorry girls, hope I haven’t bored you to death by now), Saturday was my SIL’s baby shower. On the drive over, I was completely fine. All day, I was fine. I thought, I can do this! I won’t be sad or weird. It will be a good time. HA! I get there, and as soon as I walk in the door, my mood takes a turn for the worse. I’m instantly depressed and I try to distract myself by talking to DH step grandmother. Then I started to notice the presents and everything just hit me. I was literally there 10 minutes before I had to hastily grab my stuff and bolt out the door. I just started driving…which probably wasn’t the safest thing I’ve ever done since I was hyperventilating and bawling my eyes out all at the same time. I decided to go to my parent’s house b/c I knew they would be so supportive, and honestly, I just wanted to crawl in my mom or dad’s lap and just cry. They, of course, were not home. So I just sat in their driveway for 45 minutes and cried. It was awful. I was so embarrassed and jealous and angry and just sad. I pray our turn comes quickly. Man this blows.

 

[HWPG]

omg, rach, i have missed you!!! i love the long post!
first, yay we are so close! i have like 5 ladies that are close to me, and this never happens since my cycles are a friggin mess, ha! you got a lot of BD, nice job. two ovulations, eh? boo-ya.
great on your honey's SA. i think my OH's morph was 8% (not completely sure) but they said anything over 4% was good here. i've also heard 4% other places, so 6% is good!
re: baby shower. oh. my dear, my dear. i cant begin to say "i get this" because I TOTALLY DO. i do NOT go to showers any more. twice i have tried, and your scenario has happened, so nope, no more. i have to protect my heart, and whoever's shower it is has to deal with that, and forgive me or not as they determine. i, too, have cry-drived (that's a real thing). i, too, have cry-drivewayed (also a real thing). you did nothing wrong. you gave it your best shot, and thats the most you can do every day of your life. i hope and pray for you that someday you will get your shower, and the tears you shed will be of gratefulness and joy and the fruition of many dreams. i hope the dream you had comes true. i wish we lived closer, because i would have met you and taken you out for shots! for us both! cheers to the tww, down to 1ww! please oh please let it be the last!

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach-- I am so sorry about your SIL's baby shower. I remember one time going to a kid's birthday party and all the women there were pregnant but me and my friend. After talking to one of them for a minute, I actually started crying right in front of her! It was mortifying. But if there's one thing we women understand it's emotions! And they can get ya at the worst times!

I'm excited that you O'd! Fingers crossed that you caught that eggo!

Yes, I did HPT. I actually got a slight positive 9DPO but thought it was still trigger. The line got darker until 11DPO and stayed the same until my second Beta. I am still taking HPTs every day because I want to see that line improve (it is, slowly)! I'm getting more bloods done on Friday to rule out an ectopic. And, yes, I'll admit, I get excited every time the line shows up!

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee-- I am writing to Webster's immediately to get cry-drive and cry-divewayed added to the dictionary immediately!

Hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Brayr08]

Thanks so much girls. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I do wish we all lived closer so we could meet once a week to vent and cry. I love ya girls. You're the best!!!

 

[Brayr08]

P.S. I loved the cry-drive and cry-divewayed comment too.
