Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[Brayr08]

Now I'm sitting here listening to the women behind me talking about their kids and how picky they are at eating and how little sleep they got when the babies were first born and blah blah blah. Ugh...just shoot me now!!!!

 

[tlk71411]

Omg i cant stop laughing at crydrived and crydrivewayed.
Too true though! I think we have all done that. I had to go to my bf's baby shower 3 days after my MC started I know how you feel hon.
I've decided I'm going to test tomorrow morningjust so I can get it out of my system!!

FX for us ladies....and I'm hungry again.

Oh bless rach honey its a cruel world we live in and mirolee is totally right, you did give it your best shot but at the end of the day your human and have been through a massive amount in such a short space of time. Taking care of yourself should be paramount so don't sweat the small stuff hun i'm sure she will understand. and hey two O's, that's awesome, fx you do catch one if not both of those eggies x x

Mirolee, you come up with some pretty funny stuff!!! When have you decided to test this month?

tlk, yeah i know what you mean about the empty feeling it's a bit of a weird one to try to describe. I will certainly be looking out for that again this month. fx for tomorrow

barb, i am sooooo happy for you huni, have you had many symps so far?

afm, cd6 la lala lala, boring boring boring. i hate this god damn, fricken, stupid bloody waiting business. where is the remote control i need to fast forward this thing like, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!
At least i get a bit of a blow out this weekend. Got cousin coming to stay and off out on sat night, woo hoo bring on the beer!!

 

[Snizuitz]

Tlk-- I say go ahead and test! Nothing to lose, really (so long as you have plenty of tests!). I'm glad I caught my early positive-- it was really exciting to see that line get darker over time. Of course, I'm a total POAS addict! If I had unlimited funds, I probably would keep testing until the store ran out of tests!!

Laura-- Lol-- yeah, I wish life had Tivo controls. Fast forward, pause, rewind, SKIP! Wouldn't that be great?!

My symptoms so far a pretty minimal. I wouldn't even know I was pregnant without scientific proof. I am extremely exhausted (which I would have blamed on PMS) and hungry (could blame not eating enough healthy food) and have had some poking and pulling pains around my uterus (could be cysts or something). I'm just glad I'm not one of those ladies that instantly gets super sick!

 

[HWPG]

sniz, what is your next appt - like u/s, bw, etc? and when?
thanks ladies, i'm glad i was able to make you all smile. i was trying to explain the words to OH and he didnt get it.
you know i wont test! cmon! ok, IF i were late, i would test, but that wont be until the 21st, so at least not until then. if this cycle doesnt work, i alrady called my acup lady and will go in for a treatment when i start the clomid. i've been trying to drop obvious hints to OH about clomid and how it's a hormone, and what hormones do to me... but we'll see. sniz, it's also nice to hear that you dont have too many obvious symptoms: i think due to this forum, so many women are looking for every tiny little thing, and so everything becomes a symptom! keeps my hopes alive

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee-- Well, everything is a symptom to me now! I was kind of a naysayer with symptoms before because I didn't want to get my hopes up too high. I suddenly don't like the taste of egg yolk, for example. Old me would be like, "Bad eggs." New me is like, "Pregnancy!" Lol.

I agree-- it's good to warn the Man what Clomid might do. I wrote my guy a letter he could read when I was being irrational to remind him it's temporary and that I love him even I'm momentarily insane. And I wrote one for myself, too, to remind Crazy Barb that Sane Barb knew DH wasn't hiding things from me (or whatever other crazy thought drove me batty). I think it helped.

And since you asked, my next appointment is tomorrow to make sure my HCG is still rising. They want to watch it carefully in case of an ectopic pregnancy. I'll do bloodwork tomorrow and then a very early ultrasound late next week to see if they can find where it implanted.

 

[HWPG]

letter writing = great idea! thanks!

 

[tlk71411]

Good morning ladies
Bfn for me but its still early. AF isn't due till 19th but who knows with mc. So I'll just test every morning. Omg snizuitz im the same way. Every symptom I blame on something else!

 

[Snizuitz]

Keep testing, TLK, and keep us posted!!

 

[tlk71411]

Yeah I'm "supposedly" 9dpo...but that could be wrong lol I'm gonna be testing every morning =) If I get any faint bfps I'll post pics. Fx ladies!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Wow, lots to catch up on!! OMG OMG OMG BARB!!! Super happy for you, finally! Congrats!!! I pray this is it this time, happy and healthy 9 months to you! Stalk away, we love it!

Rach-I'm sorry about the shower...i bet it was hard, it is easy to think we can get through it before it actually happens. Like I thought I'd be pretty good at getting through my 1 year miscarriage anniversary but the day comes and BOOM it hits ya so hard. Hope everything keeps going well for you and the IVF will be your time . Fx for you.

Mirolee-hopefully you won't need the clomid and you amazingly got preggo naturally. Fx you get a bfp soon

Laura-happy that your happy that you got your first af now...yes, don't think about just do it every other day andyou might get shocked again and see 2 beautiful pink lines again. Fx for you as well and hope it works again for you.

I've missed you all so much! Not too much new.....do youall remember that bump i had? well, it was confirmed it was an incisional hernia (from last dd csection) I have a appt with a general surgeon on the 25th but i think once i tell him i'm ttc a 3rd baby he won't want to remove it but i don't know if there are any risks of having it while pregnant? I guess we will see. I also just got a positive opk yesterday. Hoping this month is working/going well. Seems to be Glad to be back for awhile.

 

[Brayr08]

Hey Barb, weren't you supposed to get some tests done today?

So, I recieved a thank you not from my SIL. Amoung other things, she told me how sorry she was that I couldn't stay long for her party and that she understands. That made me feel SOOO much better! I keep having dreams about DH's family being mad at me. I have to mail her actual gift to her (came in the mail like 2-3 hours after her party) and I think I may include a letter telling her how happy we really are for them and that sort of thing. I don't want there to be hard feelings even though I'm having a hard time with this. Anywho...hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I plan on testing on Sunday (10DPO...I think), so here's to wasting more money!!!

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach-- what a relief! That was nice of her and she will love the gift you send her. Can't wait to hear how your test goes!

Heather-- Congrats on the positive OPK! That's always good to see! Good luck with the surgery and babymaking!

Yes, I did go for another blood test this morning, but they haven't called me back yet. Ugh! This waiting is horrible! Not as bad as waiting to hear if I was actually pregnant, but still.

 

[HWPG]

rach, i wrote this to my bff who just had a baby: feel free to use or not use as a guideline.
" i am SO happy for you, and your family, and i'm so excited to meet Hannah, but it also makes me sad for myself. you know how long we have been trying, and the hurdles we are encountering, and while we have some promising treatments on the horizon, it's not a done deal. i dont know how i will feel when i get there, so there will probably be tears, both happy and sad, and i hope you know the sadness is about me, and nothing to do with you. (i'm literally choking back tears just writing this - crying at work makes everyone uncomfortable!). i'm scared, about a lot of things, but mostly about it never happening to me, and that can be hard for people to understand and relate to, but i really want to be honest with you, so if you sense anything - distance or sadness or whatever - you know that it is something i am working on. please tell me if i have overstepped our friendship boundaries by laying all this out for you, or if you have changed your mind about my visit (i hope not, i have a lot of presents to give you/hannah)."
hugs to you all!

 

[Brayr08]

Mirolee, that's about EXACTLY what I was going write...how weird. Especially the I'm happy for, but sad for us (well, that's basically what you said ) thing.

 

[tlk71411]

Is anyone testing tomorrow?
Hwpg that's an amazing letter. Very honest.
Bray I'm so happy your friend was so understanding!

 

[Snizuitz]

Finally heard from the doctor. My HCG is doubling like it should! Things are looking good!

 

[HWPG]

Woo hoo! Fantastic!

 

[tlk71411]

Finally heard from the doctor. My HCG is doubling like it should! Things are looking good!

[Brayr08]

So happy to hear it woman! Did they say when you have to go back?
