New Year 2012 babies

[ao30]

Lissa- fingers crossed for you! No AF? That's terrific news! Hopefully she stays away for 9 more months... I haven't taken any more tests since last Sat., and I haven't charted for the last couple of days either. Just hoping this bean keeps on sticking for the time being, but trying not to get my hopes up.

Wow, so many ladies in the 2WW all at once. I know so many women find it to be stressful, but I love the hope and the anticipation that comes along with it. FX for all!

 

[schoolteacher]

Im 1dpo today, yay!x

 

[ao30]

schoolteacher- Just noticed that it's 3 weeks until your FS appointment! Exciting!

Anyone have any symptoms to report?

 

[Kimbre]

4 DPO.
already feeling out. but that may just be because i have been let down SO many times. what's the point in getting my hopes up again? i'm hoping that i will get that soon though

no symptoms. none unusual for me. i don't even bother symptom spotting anymore. if i get one i just figure its AF on her way. i have had every symptom and then had none in and out of all my cycles. so theres no point in symptom spotting anymore.
i am broken out bad.
and some mild pressure.
both have happened b4 though.

oh two more of my friends announced that they are pregnant. of course i am happy for them, but really jealous that we have not gotten knocked up STILL and everyone else i know has.

FX for all of you that are in your two week wait=)))

 

[ao30]

kimbre- Here's hoping that this cycle is the one.

 

[Traskey]

We need some bfps on this thread.

for everyone x

 

[Kimbre]

thanks ao30! i am just being lame i guess.
after so many AF's i just dont even think i will be now lol.
how's everything with you.

 

[ao30]

You are not being "lame"! LTTTC just plain stinks.

Last night I convinced myself that the tiredness and stomach pains I have been feeling were good signs. Morning sickness, if you will. Today my temp dipped- not a lot, but enough to make me take notice. I am so tired of this unease. I literally just want to curl into a ball and not get up; but I have a "play" date with friends and their babies. So not what I want to be thinking about right now... babies and more babies.

 

[Kimbre]

aww. have you been to a doc at all??

i am 6 DPO today and seriously, ive not been so broken out since high school. this heat better F- off bc this is gross. i am feeling dizzy as well.

 

[schoolteacher]

FX for you ao30 your doing so well!x

 

[MariaF]

Hi ladies - can I re-join please! I got my positive OPK today (but still no peak on CBFM ) so Im hoping to join the 2WW on sunday.

We haven't BD'ed since Monday because we changed tactics - before it was always every other day and then every day on O day. Since then I heard several opinions that it may be good to abstain for up to a week so the plan is to get down to business tonight

We are also using Preseed this cycle and Im gagging on Mucinex But it seems to be helping as I have a lot more ewcm that normal (Im back on Clomid afer having ovarian drilling in March)

So Ill be following everyone's progress and GOOD LUCK

 

[ao30]

Congrats Maria and good luck! The name mucinex just sounds plain nasty, lol...

Kimbre- I have been to the doctor's. 2 blood tests confirmed pregnancy. I could go in again for another round of blood-work, but my insurance and I are having some choice words over payments, so I haven't been back. Just waiting for nature to take its course, whatever that may be.

Do you think you're dizzy because of the heat... or ...?

Schoolteacher- How has the CM been this past cycle?

 

[Kimbre]

oic. yes i know what you mean about insurance. i dont have any yet. ive applied but i need to get my info to them. i have to see the dentist as i think i may have a cavity!
i am deff. crossing my fingers for you to have a sticky bean!

yeah i was thinking its the heat, but last summer i was 4 hours south living in the city and it was much worse...and i wasnt dizzy,and i didnt break out like this either. maybe my AF is just giving me a bad cycle...but i dont even want to leave the house with this acne issue. people laugh at me when i say that, and say that they dont notice. but i can! and i feel icky.. two more emerged this morning. this is NUTS ive never been this broken out. and its cold today.

 

[MariaF]

ao30 - I the beanie sticks! Do you plan to have an early scan?

Kimbre - what's the temperature like there now? Fingers crossed for a BFP for all of us, ladies - imagine having a baby just before spring!!!

 

[Kimbre]

our temp is 54...it sucks. my hubby is from here and i hate it. its the smallest town on earth i swear... there is ONE gas station....one! and no McDonalds or burger king or any fast food places...and NO clothing stores. you should see their post office...HAHAHA

we lived in the city and got robbed so he made me move.
its in the middle of nowhere... and i hate the cold. and thats all its been here.

me too! FX for us to get our s

Schoolteacher- How has the CM been this past cycle?

Ah bless you for remembering -I never get any! have tried to drink more water but tbh I haven't tried as much as I could and have had no improvement this cycle. Last cycle I tried water with lemon which helped a bit so I think I need to go back to that next cycle! I have also tried robutussin (same as mucinex) but I don' think I took enough of it so I will try that again next cycle too!
Im so glad your BFP seems to be sticking for you! Im sure it will continue to do so! As kimbre said -Are you gonna have an early scan? Though I see you are having insurance issues so maybe that's not an option?x

 

[ao30]

Thank you so much ladies. I feel so much more at home here on the LTTTC boards than anywhere else on B&B.

My midwife would like me to have a scan done, but I'm dragging my feet. Yes, the insurance is a problem right now, but I also really don't like the fact that ultrasounds have never been studied very much, especially for first trimester babies. Plus, if I find out that there is a problem it's not like much can be done at this point to save it. I know I should be excited to see an ultrasound but I'm not .

To be honest with you all, if this bean does not stick I think we might just bypass the recurrent pregnancy loss tests and head straight on off to adoption. I know there is stress involved in adoption as well, but I am officially tired of the stress that comes with LTTTC.

Kimbre- But think of what a lovely place it will be to raise your baby! I loved exploring the woods and fields as a child; so glad that my parents moved to the country for their children's sake. Nothing against city life, but I have so many lovely memories from my childhood. Also, do you know if your insurance requires you to be with them a certain time before getting pregnant?

Schoolteacher- It's so strange how our bodies are all different. Do you just dislike the taste of water? What if you carried around those little packets of Crystal-Light or whatever they're called (to add flavor to water) and just added them to your water?

 

[MariaF]

Kimbre - that doesn't sound like fun! But then our summer temp averages at about 65, no not great either!
Schooleteacher - I took the equivalent of mucinex this cycle and it has really helped with the cm! And I was on Clomid and it does dry me up down there I took 4-5 table spoons with a large glass of water every day for 5 days since about CD10 and only got my positive OPK on CD16. The water is key as it's the water taken after the syrop that helps produce the mucus. It is absolutely disgusting though

ao30 - Im also not a fan of internal scans. I don't mind so much the scan itself but it's the prodding in there when the baby is only just implanting. have you done another test yet? Did it get darker? Ill have everything crossed that this is a take-home baby for you

AFM - it's the second day of strong positive opks but still only a High on the CBFM - so far Im quite disappointed with it We BD'ed last night after abstaining for 5 days so I hope the swimmers were nice and strong. Will do again tonight and tomorrow.

No I like water, it's all I really drink!
I don't drink coffee, I have a cup of tea about once every two weeks if someone offers it to me at work! and occasionally I have a lemonade! The problem is just remembering to drink!

How ru today ao30? any symptoms-I think a while back you said you didnt have any is that correct? (I might be wrong!)

How is everyone one else? Maria and Kmbre -hope your good? Kimbre-has your outbreak calmed down yet? Im 27 and still get outbreaks every month! so annoying!
Maria I don't know how cbfm work but I would just go with the opks! Well done for abstaining-My DH hates it and moans about it! 4 days is the max he will abstain! We are trying different methods every cycle as Dh has low sperm, it's confusing though becasue I have read that it is good to abstain, and have also read that it is not good to abstain for more than a few days as the sperm won't be good quality!? confusing I don't no which is right. Does your partner have low spern too?x

Ao30- yes it is a nice place to raise the kids. but where id wanted to live in the city was actually country IN the city. it was sooo nice and then just a 10 min drive to the city part. but i do agree that country is a nice place to raise your kids. my father has a log cabin and a farm it was so nice growing up there. i wouldnt mind living near him in my hometown , which is 20 mins away from here...+ all my friends and family are there. i dont know anyone at all here.
as for the insurance i hadnt thought of that... but i dont think they care how long you are with them.

schoolteacher- i have always had break outs. when i was in high school it was BAD all of a sudden, but i figured out it was the new make up i was using. my skin is very sensitive. so now i use bare minerals...LOVE it. and dont break out that much. except b4 AF shows up. yes its calmed down and i have not gotten any new ones=) but im sure ill break out again right b4 AF shows.
