October Sticky Beans!

[cupcake.]

Tod, i could totally see it on the invert! It's still early, so i'm having my fingers crossed!

 

[todmommy4568]

Black I would say I hope you start feeling better...but you won't so I'm not going to say it. But I do hope the next month goes quick for you! The positive OPK on my chart actually was a positive. My cycles and my best friends cycles have been doing weird things lately trying to sync and she said her boobs were sore and wanted an O test which was almost positive so I took one for shits and giggles to see if our O days synced up and it was positive.....well very very close to positive but it was on no hold and drinking stuff so if it was a hold it would've been blazing.

 

[Blackrain90]

Haha thanks Tod

Well I look forward to an abundance of peestick porn in the next few days!

My graduate thesis presentation is in about 3 weeks, and I'm so far behind. The progesterone has made me so fuzzy headed for the last week that I haven't been able to do hardly any work on my paper and before that I was sick with pneumonia. Of all the months, it would be my last month of my program. I'm so tired lately too (I blame the progesterone on that) that by the time I Get home from work I'm just dead, and trying to work on this paper is killng me.

Plus DH's mom and brothers are coming to visit this weekend. I'm going to have the hardest time getting this stuff done. Ugh. I just have to survive this last month. Hopefully I Can finish before MS sets in!


tod - aww I swear I saw it on that invert. I'm waiting for more peestick porn.

Black - Your SIL sounds like she's being a real bitch. And I'm sorry you're so miserable. I hope this last month goes quickly for you.

 

[todmommy4568]

So symptom of the day *drum roll* my gums keep randomly bleeding.

Angel hopefully you are able to get your thesis finished the tiredness is a real drag!

 

[mrscletus]

Could this be the month for all of us?? I am so hopeful right now its silly!!

Tod, when do you plan on getting your pee stick fix next??

Based on my symptoms only, I put in an O day of dc12 on FF it was an "override function"... so that means I am 2dpo... I am waiting to pee until AF is late as I don't have any more ICs... but if I happen to come across some in my cleaning, or if amazon oddly sends me some, I will test sooner. LOL

 

[krissie328]

Ohh!! I am looking forward to some happy news soon.

Angel- good luck getting your work done. I had crippling fatigue when I was pregnant with DS. You sound just like I did. But I made it through graduate school so it is possible!!

I remember the morning I was finishing my paper for my Ed.S. and submitting it I told my professor it was my final revision as I was leaving the evening to go have a baby. Thankfully they accepted it and I was done!!

 

[todmommy4568]

I'm Amazon just randomly comes through for you that would be great! They should make a pregnancy test button, it would probably be the most profitable button they make

I don't know when I will test again. Before the random test yesterday I was planning on Mother's Day so maybe I will stick with that. Surprisingly I'm not to uppity this cycle. Think it's probably because I feel like there is little chance without tracking things.

 

[Blackrain90]

You may not have been tracking much, but based on your BD days and positive OPK I think you are in with a great shot Tod!

Angel I hope the exhaustion and cloudiness eases long enough to finish your paper! YOU CAN DO IT!

Update on the fire north of us: it has now spread over 330 square miles. At least 1700 buildings (mostly homes) have been destroyed, with over 88,000 people evacuated. The province has declared a state of emergency. Sounds like the only shot of the fire going out is torrential rain- unfortunately there is no rain predicted for the next two weeks...there is normally still snow on the ground this time of year, so +25C with no precipitation is like unheard of.
I know some people who have lost everything, it just breaks my heart.

It has been amazing to see the outpouring of support from the whole province though- random people offering up rooms in their house, food, clothes etc. to complete strangers. So many companies (including my own) donating $100K to red cross and giving free products/services to evacuees. Makes me proud to be an Albertan.

 

[krissie328]

Black- that is heartbreaking for sure!

 

[cupcake.]

It really is heartbreaking, it's been all over the news in germany as well..

Today we'll tell OH grandma that she will be a great grandma! We figured we should tell her before his other grandma knows tomorrow, as the other one probably won't be able to keep her mouth shut and then she won't hear it from us haha
But i love her so much and i'm very excited to tell her! I know she'll be so happy.
Such an exciting weekend, announcing to her today and to our closest family (parents, siblings, his other grandma) tomorrow!
I'm just so nervous that anything will be wrong at the scan next week

 

[Angel5000]

Just stopping in, I've been so busy lately I haven't had much time to drop in. MIL is coming to town today and staying through tomorrow. Plus I have to work on my paper so I probably won't be on much.

Black - so heartbreaking but it restores my faith in humanity when you we see the things that people are willing to do to help others!

cupcake - Yay! That's so exciting!

Cletus - Welcome to the TWW

Tod - waiting for my porn. . . .






EDIT:

Betas are in!! Up above 1800! This is the second time my Betas have tripled! Hoping this is a good sign. The nurse said it was very good.

Tomorrow we go in for our first US to locate the egg sac. What a way to spend mothers day.... seeing my first bean!! I know I won't actually see my bean, at most we'll just see the sac, but at least I'll know there's something growing there.

 

[cupcake.]

Congrats angel! Those numbers are great! Please update when you got your scan

As for me, we told our parents today 💛 They were all very happy! Especially my parents and sisters are just super excited and can't wait for the baby!
It's the best feeling knowing our baby is so loved already by everyone 💛💛

Now we just need to see you happy and healthy wiggling on the ultrasound on thursday please! It would be heartbreaking to have to tell them i lost the baby.. So i'm trying not to think about it much.

My mom also said she never had any symptoms during pregnancy except a growing belly and a baby at the end of it haha she never had any nausea or fatigue or anything so i'm relieved that since she never had much in the way of symptoms it really doesn't mean anything that don't have that many as well.
I can't wait for thursday. I'll be 11+3 so not 12 weeks exactly but if baby is doing well then i think i can count myself quite safe ❤️

 

[krissie328]

Good luck today Angel!

That's great you got to tell everyone cupcake.

Afm, I was suppose to start clomid on Friday. But when dh got to work he found out his hours had been cut. He's certian they will be back by July but I am not willing to chance it.

Since I am high risk I have higher med bills and we cannot afford any extra especially with the expense of ds surgery. So for now we are not using clomid until his hours are restored.

I just cannot believe this happened literally the day I was suppose to start clomid. I'm pretty heartbroken by it all.

My plan for now is to not prevent and eat low carb. If it happens it happens but if not then I guess we will do clomid when his hours pick back up.

 

[Angel5000]

Went for my Ultrasound today. Found my gestational sac, and doctor says everything looks good for 4W+6. After this week, the doctor is going to see me every week for an US until I am 12 weeks! Wow! I'll get an US every week! Right now I have just a little blob, but it's a cute little blob. I'm so excited.

He thinks we're going to maybe see the heart beat next appointment (scheduled for 6W+1).

I've been wished a happy mothers day today by my doctor and a couple friends who already know. I feel so loved.


cupcake - Yay! I'm so glad that your family was happy. So exciting!! I'm sure everything will be good at your next appointment but keep us updated!


krissie - Oh no! I'm so sorry!

 

[cupcake.]

Wow, ultrasound every week, i want that too! Haha must be so reassuring!
And i too think you'll see the heartbeat! I did at my first ultrasound and i was about 6+1 or 6+2 so exciting!

 

[Angel5000]

So reassuring! Makes me feel so much more comfortable. I told DH that in the future I don't want To go anywhere else, even if we dont have trouble conceiving future kids! this is like the royal treatment! And I guess they do it for all their expectant moms because they know how stressful it is and of course by the time someone sees them they have been through enough problems.

Can't wait to hear about your Thursday appt cupcake

 

[Blackrain90]

Cupcake I'm glad you got to tell everyone. I'm sure your ultrasound will go well

Krissie I'm so sorry Hopefully his hours will go back up sooner. With the timing, maybe it wasn't meant to be just yet. Easier said than actually going through I'm sure. Lots of hugs your way.

Angel I am jealous of all your ultrasounds but that does make sense!

I have now had my ten millionth person ask "oh you must be due any day now hey?" Gotta love the shock on their face when I tell them I still have a month left haha.

 

[mrscletus]

Krissie- hun!! I am so sorry this happened now, but maybe like Black said it just means it wasn't meant to be just yet- everything happens for a reason. Maybe more hours at home will equal more bd time You never know...

Cupcake- so great that you got to tell your family- and good luck for your scan, I am sure you and baby are doing just fine.

Angel- that is so exciting that you get an US every week!!

AFM- just hanging out at 5 dpo- wondering when I will test as I broke down and bought cheapies at walmart this weekend... LOL... I have to wait at least until 10 dpo right?? but then again, they were only .88 each. HAHAHA

 

[krissie328]

Thanks ladies.

I'm feeling pretty good about it today. Dh thinks it will only last about a month. So I am keeping eveything crossed we can start back by July on clomid.
