...No, relaxing will not get me pregnant...lucky CBFM girls!

[wookie130]

Berryboo, Oliver is a gorgeous little boy! What a sweet little face!

I typically O on the second peak, but I do believe you can O either day. I believe your timing is good this month, as even if you did O on your 1st peak, that egg can linger a bit before it's released. You're fine!

Tryin- What did I tell you, missy!!! Your levels are now at least 50 miU of hcg to get a positive digi! You're just fine. Like I said earlier, a FRER is simply a diagnostic tool. It just indicates if you're pregnant or not...it doesn't tell you HOW pregnant, or diagnose miscarriages. I'm so happy for you, honey! I'm going to say it's a girl too, based on your BD timing. If you and DH continue to have sex like bunnies, don't be too alarmed if you have a bit of blood or spotting afterwards...the cervix gets really sensitive during pregnancy, and can bleed a tad. If it doesn't, that's normal too.

AFM, I had my OB/gyn appointment today. She gave us a home kit for a SA, and also orded a progesterone draw for 12/26 and 12/29, and prolactin on 12/26 also. She said even though my charts show ovulation, I may not be ovulating well enough. So, if progesterone is low, and I'm not ovulating well, I'll be put on Clomid or Femara.

So, that's all I've got!

Yippppeeeeeeeee! Congratulations trying for one! So happy for you and what an amazing early Christmas present! Hope you have a very happy and healthy 9 months xxx

 

[Buckles]

Also have you told your husband yet? Xx

My best guy friend is in the hospital now. they admitted him for dehydration and are running more tests. He had severe stomach pain and vomiting and they've checked his appendix and said it was good...so they don't know whats wrong with him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers! This guy is one of my favorite people on this planet and I would be crushed if anything happened to him. I hope he feels better soon. I feel so helpless.

 

[GdaneMom4now]

let us know how everything turns out wookie!

 

[Buckles]

Oh bloody he'll, hope he makes a speedy recovery, sending you lots of hugs x

 

[SLH]

Wookie, that's awesome news. I'm so happy that your doctor is testing you. Your charts are sometimes erratic , so maybe you aren't ovulating strong enough. Did you also tell her about your husband? Maybe she would prescribe him something like viagra. You will have to keep us updated.

Gdane, I will keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he gets better soon. It sounds to me like he may have had food poisoning. I'm not a doctor though, so I could be wrong. My grandmother once had those symptoms and she ended up having salmonella. I'm sure whatever it is it will be an easy fix and he will be okay.

Buckles

How are you doing Tryinfor1, have you told your husband yet?

 

[GdaneMom4now]

My best bud is doing better he is on meds and they are keeping him treating it like an ulcer but they dint know for sure what the problem is. We entertained him for a few hours and I feel better agree seeing him. Hes good laying down but as soon as he stand up he pukes and his stomach hurts really bad. Doctors are worthless.

 

[wookie130]

Gdane- Many thoughts and prayers to your friend. I sure hope they figure it out, and he's home soon. Here's to some answers, a painless treatment, and a speedy recovery!

 

[wookie130]

SLH-Thanks! I do hope I can get it figured out... I'm not really sure how to tell if my chart is erratic, to be truthful. I guess I figured since I always get a clear thermal shift, I was ovulating just fine. I suppose once they start testing my hormone levels, it will give me a better idea what is going on.

To be honest, I'm more worried that everything will be normal, and I'll be an unexplainable infertility case or something. Ugh.

 

[TryinFor1]

Prayers going out to your friend Gdane.

I told DH. I told him while he was at work. Lol. He rushed home and came with me to get blood drawn. He was shocked but excited. He like wanted me as soon as we got home so we dtd. Lol. And went to taco bell. I know I probably shouldnt have eaten that.. there is a lot that I dont know yet.

My first obgyn appointment is January 18!

I am just so worried about MC and stuff like that now. I PRAY that doesnt happen. Please keep me in your prayers ladies. I am terrified!

How are you ladies tonight?

 

[Apple Blossom]

Just coming on as Gdane told me we had two BFP's so congrats, well done Tryin Im so very pleased for you hun .

to you all and I hope you all have a very merry christmas and a happy new year.

 

[wookie130]

Tryin- I bet your DH is so excited! It doesn't always hit men right away...it will when he hears the heartbeat for the first time, and probably you too!

So, by my calculations, Jan. 18th should put you right around the 8 week mark...are you going to get a scan then, or will they attempt to pick up the heartbeat at that time? Once you hear the heartbeat, you only have around a 3-5% chance of miscarriage, which is really great odds, when you think about it!

It is so natural to fear miscarriage during the first trimester. Have you been on the First Tri forum yet? If not, bop on over there, and you'll see that many, many ladies have high anxiety over losing their pregnancies early on...totally normal, and understandable!

Try to relax and enjoy each day you're pregnant. If you can make it to the 12-14 week mark, you'll start to be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel, and start to REALLY be able to relax and enjoy it.

You're a mom now, Tryin. You're going to be worried about your child about one thing or another for the rest of your life!!! LOL!!!

 

[wookie130]

Apple- Hey, sweetie! Good to see you in here! I'm hoping and praying for you to have a wonderful outcome in your quest to become a mommy again.

Merry Christmas to you, and have a happy new year! Keep us updated with things you learn along the way.

 

[GdaneMom4now]

I'm going to kill this kitten. Wookie...Hows everything going for you?

 

[TryinFor1]

Gdane: Why are you going to kill the kitten? Lol! OH wait, should I not laugh about that? I am pretty sure you are joking.. Lol

Wookie: Thank you so much! January 18 puts me at 8 weeks and they will do a scan and measurements and a heartbeat. She said the appointment will take about an hour to an hour and half. Pretty excited! I cant wait! I think as long as I dont spot or anything, I should be ok, right? I pray to God all the time that the baby will be sticky and then try to remind myself that EVERYONE is four weeks pregnant at one time or another. I dont think there have been very many MC on either side of my family. That doesnt mean it wont happen to me, but I am holding onto the notion that it means it will be less likely. It makes me feel better.

SLH: I hope the cramps are a good sign! I got them at 8dpo but I dont think I implanted until 10dpo since it didnt show up on a frer until 12dpo. ALTHOUGH, maybe it was 8dpo.. I got a faint line on the 10miu IC at 10dpo, and then a faint line on a frer at 12dpo, and then a positive pregnant digi at 14dpo. That sounds to be about right.

KeeKee: How are you love?

Mrs. B: Any side effects yet from the clomid? I know you have only taken one but just wondering!

Apple: We sure do miss you! Thank you for the thoughts. Please keep me in your prayers. I cant wait until you get your IVF treatment so we can hear all about it!!


AFM,

DH is being a horn dog. Lol. I took a class at school that had to do with this and I think it is a dominance thing. A man (subconciously) tries to look for a young woman who is fertile who can carry on his name. A woman tries to look for an older man who can take care of her and her baby. Once the woman becomes pregnant, the man displays dominance because he knows he has passed his seed and that his name will carry on. DH is definitely displaying that. Lol. But he is being very sweet.

I should be getting my HCG levels back sometime today. I REALLY hope that they dont make me wait all day! I am gonna go to Barnes and Noble and buy a book too!! Once we get the levels, we are gonna have to tell my parents. Lol.. I am not sure what to say or exactly how that one will go over.

 

[Mrs.B.]

No not yet all seems fine, do they have an accumulative effect?

Aww bless your DH

 

[TryinFor1]

If you have any side effects they might get worse the longer you take it. When I took it, I had hot flashes and would get really depressed from about my third pill to 7dpo. AWFUL. But it worked. Lol. So I dont care now!

 

[BerryBoo]

Hey Tryin'!
Cramps are normal. I've had them with all pregnancies. Sometimes they will even feel like AF cramps. I think I'd be worried if I didn't have them.

 

[GdaneMom4now]

The cat still won't shut up.
