ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[Desperado167]

I just got my smiley face!! CD14, thats a new one. Im having some twinges in my ovaries so we will see if my temp rises tomorrow or the next day. Im glad that we BD'd a lot in the past few days, the rest is up to nature!

That is great news Sarah,good luck

 

[babyhopes2323]

flying.. its nice to have 30 min scans isnt it !! i am so impatient i tried ot move my scan forward by one day but the time i wanted was not available so guess i will have to stick to the 7th of june.. yay for our 19 + weeks !!

sarah, fx'd for your smiley face and dh's super sperm !!

AFM, from the last few days ive been having the odd sharp shooting pains all the way from way down below to my abdomen. ive read they could be round ligament pains and normal stretching pains, but wow are they painful, i keep confusing certain flutters or vibrations for movements. i dont think i will be able to feel it for a while but hoping i do so soon, ive been trying to keep my palm on my belly to feel for something, but nothing as of now, but sometimes when im walking or sitting i feel very very very slight flutters, not good enough to say they are proper movements because i dont know what proper movements feel like !!

lol hope everyone else is doing ok.. xxx

to all of you. x

 

[Huggles]

i'm back!

thanks for updating sheryl

i've written a full update in my journal if anyone is interested - i'm on my phone so can't cope and paste and i'm too lazy to retype it all. But, in short, it went really well.

Sarah - it was indeed general anaesthetic. My gynae said they use a very specific anaesthetic during pg.
it was also fairly quick, think i was only unconscious for 30 min.

Babyhopes - they had to starve me because of the anaesthetic. I ate breakfast and then only ate again at supper. They pumped me full of fluids and stuff during the anaesthetic tho to make up for lack of food.

Sarah - re bd'ing ever day - the month we fell pg we were bd'ing every 12-18 hours. It definitely decreased the volumn of semen deposited, but i got pg!

Can't remember if there was anything else i meant to comment on. Sorry if i forgot something.

hi everyone!

just popping on here to say hi before I get ready to leave the house. so please take a look at my temp, do you think I ovulated yesterday? temp is up quite a bit this morning. if so that means I ovulated the same day as my smiley again. We BD'd a lot so Im happy with our attempt. We even managed this morning the amount of semen is definitely smaller when you are going every day, but Im sure its still millions. Huggles thats great to know, how many sessions did you get in before you ovulated? fingers crossed its my month! this is the first time we have BDd 4 straight days before ovulation so everything else alligns this month

huggles great to hear everything went well, do you have to rest for a certain amount of time now? will read your journal when I get back.

flying when are you half way there, must be around now!!!! amazing

I cant wait for you all to get massive bumps and kicking babies!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

I just looked at my chart overlay and I would say I did ovulate yesterday then, as my temp has gone up to roughly the same temp as it did after ovulation last month

 

[Huggles]

sarah - yay for lots of bd'ing before ov'ing!
will have to check my ttc journal later when i'm on my laptop to see how many sessions we got in before ov.

Re resting - i'm on bed rest for the rest of the week.

 

[flyingduster]

Wooot Huggles, I'm just about to go read your journal for the full update! heh. Glad you're back and feeling ok! Now onwards and upwards aey!!!


haha Baby, you don't have long to wait for the scan hun! Be patient and enjoy it. And I'd say the flutters are probably movement, you're a lot skinnier than me so will feel them sooner!!! Also my placenta is anterior (right across the front) muffling all my bubs movements still, so couple that with a fat layer, it'll take me a lot longer to get proper kicks coming through!!!! haha.


Sarah! YAY! It is looking good isn't it! Another couple of days of your temp going up and FF will confirm for you. FX!!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

lol did i mention my placenta was anterior and low lying ? im sure i wont feel flutters for a while too, i remember reading on the anterior thing a long time ago !xx

Fx'd for you sarah, hope everyone else is good

glad your op was a success huggles x

 

[Dew]

Hey All

I am back from vacation!!! It was great I will read what I missed last week, then write again. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[MummyCat]

Sarah... chart is looking good hun!! Fab that you've had so much here's hoping it's time for you to be pregnant!!

Flying OMG... you're half way tomorrow!!!

Preethi.. I had an anterior placenta with Lottie, so I didn't feel kicks until 21 weeks!! It may not take that long for you though!!

Dew...welcome back hun!! How was your trip??? xxxx

 

[babyhopes2323]

thanks mummy, that is reassuring !

flying.half way tomorrow !!! yay !!!

AFM, ive been having such bad pains today, im off to see the doc tomorrow in this clinic close to my house, my pains have been quite bad and i get shooting pains way down below, just going to get checked before my 20 week appointment.

just want to be reassured the pains are normal.


dew, welcome back !! we missed you xxx

hope everyone is doing well. xx

 

[nypage1981]

Hi girls-

preethi let us know what they say good luck! Im sure its normal, we are getting big really fast right at this stage and just think- your uterus is getting to be the size of a grapefruit or cantelope right now and baby is that of a sweet potato! Theres a lotta growing in there.

Dew welcome back to MN junky weather. You missed all the tornadoes we had here. Sheesh, was crazy weather weekend. Hope you got some nice sun down there.

Hello to everyone else!

My baby has been fluttering off of my bladder lately and it quickly makes me feel like im going to pee but I love it! I feel it every so often in there and love that.

We are tearing down walls and stuff in our bedroom and bathroom starting tomorrow so not sure if i'll be on here at all. I am supposed to go somewhere to get away from the construction per my OH's instructions.....we will see where I end up! We were tearing carpet up last weekend in our bedroom and at the edge of the wall adjoining our bathroom wall found mold (!) so im the type that doesnt mess around. I have OH knocking down complete walls, ceiling, getting rid of floors, bath tub, everything. New stuff, yay! Going to be hectic but im excited for a new bathroom. Im just worried about the mold infecting more of the house but he has a contractor friend who will help so hope they get the job done. Its a lot to do...they are even ditching the window in the bathroom and re routing the venting system since that is what caused too much moisture in the bathroom in the first place. Yikes! Of course, we have just one bathroom so hope for them to hurry with this project. I need to pee! Just can't believe that there was mold all in the walls. Scary....luckily none of us are ever more sick than a normal person so im sure we are fine since it was in the walls but still. Its a shock to find, thats for sure. Damn old houses!

 

[flyingduster]

wow, that sounds like a huge undertaking ny!!! Good luck!!!!!


Dew, welcome back!!!


Preethi, it sounds like round ligament pains, but I hope the doctor can confirm for you that all is well! Let us know...



and yes. Half way tomorrow...!! I'm feeling fat and bloated at the moment, so I think lil one is growing or something! I had to let my belt off another notch cos it was feeling yucky... (I'm still wearing a belt to work rather than my belly bands, but I have a feeling that'll be changing soon at this rate!) I haven't really felt anything more, still a very occasional flutter at night, but nothing solid yet. Anterior placentas suck! LOL!!! I wanna feel bub move NOW! hehehe. Ah well, it'll come, I'm sure.

Midwife appointment in 2 days too, so get to hear the heartbeat again! YAY! Will record it again too. I'm going to ask her about what antenatal classes she recommends and get those sorted next week too.

Will get a belly pic either tomorrow or in the weekend to mark half way too.

 

[Huggles]

ny - that really does sound like a huge project going on at your house. Hope it all gets sorted soon.

Flying - tomorrow you'll be half way and i'll be officially second tri! That's cool

 

[sarahincanada]

Welcome back Dew! how was your vacation and where are you in your cycle? hoping this month is your month.

preethi let us know what they say, Im sure its normal. Everytime you go in worrying do they always do a scan to check on things..is that the only way to tell if everything is ok?

ny good luck with the reno! are you going to a hotel? yay for new stuff!!

hi everyone else, busy day, will check back in tomorrow

 

[nypage1981]

No hotel. Seans parents are at their lake house so can either sleep at their city house, or just stay here. its mainly during the day Thursday as the mold removal is happening that I need to be gone. We would just set up a camp in the living room! Maybe make it a fun ordeal with my daughter and have a family sleep out in the living room and watch movies this weekend. All mold should be gone by Thursday night. And they best get the toilet in too!

 

[NDH]

Welcome home Dew! Hope your trip was lovely.

In case I forget tomorrow - happy halfway Flying! (though we're in the same timezone - is it today or tomorrow? I have no clue)

Ny - what a challenge! But it'll help when it comes to selling the house for sure. Hopefully all the renovations go according to plan with no surprises.

 

[sarahincanada]

its thursday in NZ now so happy half way flying!!!!!!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, the difference here is that, they first press down on my tummy to ask me where the pain is, the scan is not a big routine scan at the radiologists, its a small scan machine at the doctors office itself, the problem is my placenta and my bleeding episodes. ive had two big bleeds now and the reason the docs here the ones that know me ex. marcus and that woman close by to my house i go to for emergencies; they scan me to basically see that my situation has not gone worse and my placenta is not tearing off. if it tears off, then its game over for me.

im worried because i have a genuine reason to be, these bleeds have not been fun and though they say baby is ok, its amazing how baby can be ok one minute and then factors like incompetent cervix and placental abruption can ruin everything in a minute.

therefore, they scan for less than 5 mins here just around the baby usually in my case to make sure that everything around it is ok.

the pains could very well be round ligament pains, i hope so too, so lets see what she says, im sure it will be ok, but its reassuring given ive got issues with this stupid placenta and would like to know it has moved upward a bit.xx


Happy half way there flying !! xx sarah has given you all the party you need and more !! xxxx

 

[MummyCat]

Happy 20 weeks Flying!!! congrats on the half way mark hun!!!

Nikki... omg.. what a big job that is, it'll be all worth it in the end, but hope the process doesn't take too much out of you both!!

Preethi.. hope you're okay hun!!

Dew... have you had many symptoms in the 2WW? are you planning on testing or waiting for AF?

to everyone!!
