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

It seems like a personal thread and a lucky one too...do you ladies mind me joining you? This is our first cycle trying to conceive after miscarriage early feb at 11 weeks. I am currently at 8-9 dpo, AF due on April 3. I am going through a rough phase and really hoping to gather some PMA on this forum. Thanks so much!
 
Sheryl - Chuck Wagon?! :rofl: (i hope it's a girl for you too!)

Re finding out gender - we will definitely find out gender. Last time were lucky enough to find out at 13 weeks already, at the NT scan. HOping this time we'll be as lucky again.

Re bump vs bloat - last time i remember that when i prodded my belly it felt like a six pack (hard). Normally my belly is really flabby and like jelly. I think that's how you know if it's bump or bloat - bump = hard.

re losing weight - I was not sick at all. I lose my appetite slightly when i'm pg, and tend to go off junk food somewhat. But other than that there was no real reason. As far as i'm concerned, diet was the best diet i'd ever been on! LoL

I think that was all...
 
Sarah, I'm 5'4" around 240lb. So yes, very very overweight. Technically I'm morbidly obese! I know that a fair bit *is* actually muscle, as I easily lift 20-40lb dogs all day long (a single dog I pick up from ground to the table, lift to the bath, lift back to the table, lift down to the ground again. Minimum. Multiply that by 8 dogs a day and I lift a lot in one day!) and am fairly active all day even when not lifting dogs (ugh, some of them can make themselves weigh a ton when you need to get around their feet or something! lmao!) and stuff, so I KNOW it's not *all* fat... but I also know one heck of a lot of it is!!! I supposedly need to loose 100lb to get into the 'healthy' BMI range....!

Although in saying all of that, I've lost a few kgs (6.5lb) since my BFP! I was trying to loose a little before the BFP; eating better and walking some more, and I've continued that (though not walking so much, it's getting cooooolder here! It's autumn now) but also I've been eating waaaaaaaaay less (and I don't eat heaps as it is, honest!) so it's been coming off slowly. I'm not worried about loosing some weight at this stage, I really do have plenty to loose! I know my weight will stabilise further through the pregnancy as bub grows, my blood increases and there's more fluids and everything, but I hope that I won't gain too much, if any!

I've sorta given up on having a healthy 'weight', when I'm fairly healthy in my body. I'd like to loose some size, but for now that is no longer my priority; my HEALTH is, not my size or weight!




bahahahaha, Chuck Wagon!? lmao! That's awesome. hahaha.



And welcome Dew! There are two others still TTC in this thread too, so yay for another for us to cheer on too! heh. GOOD LUCK hun, I hope the rough time doesn't drag you down too much.. :hugs: Sending you heaps of PMA & babydust to you, Sarah & NDH! :D
 
yeah well i think mines a whole lotta bloat at the moment. ive had such a bad day !1 woke up to go all the way to the docs because my pills were over and needed to get some .. lost my way... went there, waited over 2 hours for a bleedin prescription !! i had to wait in ER because the normal ob gyn was completely booked.. waited and waited and they took my scan, when they finished, i waited for results.. and kept waiting as the doc had to go for a c-section!

apparently my second sac is a blighted ovum.

thank god this is not the hospital i chose. i just had to go here because thought it was closer to home than the other one. it was blistering hot at 2:00pm on my way back my car started acting up and my car battery had issues so had to take it to a nearby petrol bunk and leave it there.. gasping for breath in the heat waited for a cab and finally got my arse back home.. its been a hell of a morning/ afternoon !!

waiting on my hardees takeout.. for lunch.. probably my highlight of the day lol.

NDH, whereabouts in oz are you? x

sarah fx'd, welcome dew.. :babydust: to NDH, SARAH and anyone else waiting for their BFP's..

flying.. i think by the time you deliver and start breastfeeding, im sure you will lose all this weight you seem to be talking about !! youre so active with all your dogs, im sure its not all that bad the way youre talking ! xxx
 
Shame babyhopes, sounds like one heck of a morning! Hopefully the rest of your day will be nice and uneventful :flower:

welcome dew! yes of course please join us, we need some more TTC'ers ...most of the ladies have gone and gotten pregnant on this thread can you believe it the nerve of them :haha:

please tell us more about you, so sorry to hear about your loss :hugs:
 
WELCOME DEW! :flower: Sorry about your loss hun!! :hugs: I had a MC at 10 weeks in Nov last year and now am preggers again (with the help of baby aspirin!!) Hope your wait for a BFP is a short one!! :hugs:

:hi: everyone!! Hope you're all well, sorry i've not been around much, been struggling to keep up with threads because my nausea has been a bit rough and reading print on the laptop makes it worse! :grr:

I've tried to catch up... Sarah...fab news about the 2 deposits... Flying... how awesome about the dog grooming! Flipping heck love.. that's BRILLIANT!! :dance:

I'm overweight too!! :dohh: but I'm trying to be good and hope to really give it a good go of shifting it after the baby... well I'll be running around after 2.. so hopefully that'll help!

Got my scan date today... 18th April... just a little bit excited! :yipee: I'll be 11w and 6 days! Uhm...otherwise just prepping for Lottie's birthday and slowly starting to wrap things up at work as I resigned on Monday.

Hope you're all doing okay!!

Thinking of you all! xxx
 
Not sure I updated you guys on my hcg -- at 5+2 it was 5393 and at 5+5 yesterday it's 17322. :-)
 
haha baby, well thank you, I don't *feel* as overweight as the numbers suggest, but I guess in the end I'm still 5'4" and 240lb, with a BMI of over 40! *sigh* but I AM healthy for my weight... honest! :/


Sheesh, what a day you had! No wonder you were feeling crappy hun!!! I feel for you having to be pregnant in that heat...! Perhaps it'll be nice to move to Oz for the rest of the 2nd & 3rd tri to escape the heat! I know Oz is hot too, but it's winter down here for us soon, so it certainly won't be stifling!


mummycat, I'm so sorry the morning sickness has gotten you! But FX it doesn't last for too long and you'll be back here with us more!! heh. But just stay away as much as you need to right now hun, we don't want to be making you feel worse!

And yaaaay! I'm super excited about my scan date tooooo! hehehe. Only just over a week for mine now!!!!!!!!!!! omg! :D



AFM, I had the strangest dreams last night! Really vivid too. I do dream a fair bit, but I generally don't remember them, I only remember enough to know I've dreamed... But nope, this one I can remember every frog that was throwing boomerangs, and every fat goose that was flying past my gliding glass pod.... omg, it was WEIRD! lmao! I'm guessing this is all hormones too! hahaha. I've also been having the odd single hiccup. Like, every hour or so I'll just 'hiccup' and carry on. It makes no difference if I'm hungry or full, I just get these wee single hiccups coming up!??
 
hi everyone!

Im soooo busy so wont be on much this week. being self employed you can never tell when the work is going to come in, and I suddenly have a lot! probably as I had my week off resting to catch up on too. so just wanted to say hi and will pop in when I can. at least the 2WW will go quicker as I cant wait to have a proper new fresh cycle to try!

I was annoyed at my hubby last night as I wanted to BD incase I ov later, but he was like no, its already done dont worry about it. and Im like what? and he says we were just waiting for the polyp removal so now it will be done. I was a little annoyed as thats such a simple way to think! he just tries to have a pma which is nice, but when in reality the odds are Im NOT pregnant I dont want to be thinking I am! I much prefer to think Im not then get surprised. It was sweet for him to think like that but it still annoyed me :haha:

flying: you do not look mordidly obese those charts are so silly. At 220 my hubby was in the obese range and he only has some fat on his belly so theres no way. I dont think they take into consideration different body types and when you are shorter it seems to really change things on those scales. My mum has never eaten much and has always been larger, and has thyroid issues. I like your attitude about it and you sound healthy and thats all that matters (and you look cute so that helps lol). I struggle as I was always normal/skinny and never had extra weight on and dont feel myself. I avoid having my photo taken! and so I really want to lose it as I dont want to be that person when pregnant or with a child.

baby omg what a horrible experience! I hate it when things like that happen. and what is a blighted ovum??

sheryl....that is a unique name!! from the age of 16 I always wanted to call my baby Kieran, as a friend had a boyfriend with that name. Fast forward 20 years and its quite popular, so I think Id spell it Cieran. I love irish names! for girls I like Meaghan and Chloe. is anyone else going to say the names they like? I notice people dont talk about it sometimes so are you suppposed to keep it quiet? Id love to know all your favourite names.

Mummy - so sorry you are feeling sick :-( but congrats on the resignation, Im sure thats a weight off your shoulders. Remind me what job you had?

can everyone post to me what your next scan dates are, Id like to remember them as we have a lot coming up in april. I need something to entertain me these next few months :dohh::haha:
 
Hello girls!

Sherly- CHuck Wagon. OMG. He's not allowed to name children. At least pick a yummy food!

Baby- sounds like out of a comedy movie but maybe it wasn't so funny! Just an odd luck kinda day that you had, hope it got better for you. Where does the blighted ovum go?

Sarah- did you let hubby know to expect that you aren't then be happy if you are? Just so his hopes aren't crushed because he honestly thought that was it, and you are? I am still working out names but since my daughter was born I was playing with the idea of using Ava Paige as a girl name....boys, I think I like Jackson, but OH parent's dog's name is Jack Jack so they've kind of ruined my fave name:( OH wants Irish names as his family is very Irish so I may have to look more into those as well!

Mummy- my real sickness seemed to peak one week and die off a bit again. I still get woozy sometimes but its tolerable. Just don't let yourself get too hungry thats bad!

Welcom Dew.

I just got my next ultrasound for monday! Yay! Im so nervous all over again. Yes, I hear the HB each day now, but doesn't mean that the bean has progressed as it should in there and im so scared. Haven;t seen it since 7 weeks and will be 11 weeks so thats nerve wracking. I don't want to get told its only measuring an 8 week baby or something so devastating:(

hi :wave:
yes I said to him 'and what if its not' but I cant remember what he said. I dont think he would be devastated as he hasnt acted that way so far. I think he is just trying to keep up a pma and that to him is saying that its happened. And if it doesnt happen then he will continue his pma and say the next cycle will be it!!

I just wish he had wanted to BD but he was so tired, usually I can force him into it lol but I wasnt that enthused either as been tired since the surgery.
Even though I got my smiley face I dont know for sure if I ovulated right. I stopped the tests after the negative on Sunday night but sometimes I think I should keep testing to see if I get another surge later or something (I read it can attempt an ovulation and it doesnt happen and tries again later). For now Im being cheap with the ov tests but as months go by I might start testing longer.

I like the name Ava as well! my MIL is Eva. there are lots of nice irish names for boys I find.

yay for the scan on monday! Its so funny, I feel that I am slowly going week by week with all of you hoping for the best and wishing the progression would move along faster. is it 3 months yet? :haha:
 
He sounds like my oh. Always with the it will happen, everything is fine, kind of attitude while I jump off the deep end. I tend to get more negative locally while he doesnt like to speak out loud of anything negative. It really aggravated me most of the time because I need to express negativity sometimes too!
If you had a smiley, doesn't that for sure mean you ovulated? I did not know it could mean you didn't ovulate but never used the ones with smiles. Next cycle you will nail it and be much more into it.

I will be going through it with you soon too:) slow week by slow week. first tri is crawling for me but having lots of issues and threatened mc will do that!
Hope you are keeping your sanity with work this week!
 
Flying, thanks for that assurance ! im sure the weather will be different and you know we will most likely be travelling to the UK in may to meet out friends and family for the last time, well whether or not oz works out, we'll still be counting on it as a last holiday before bubs arrives... the oz thing seems to be taking a long time to progress, things are not happening as fast as i expected so lets see.. xxx

like i said about the weight, dont worry about the BMI, stay positive and cheery as you are ! xx

sarah, sorry about not getting your BD last night, i know how frustrating it can be as ive given DH hell through those times when hes not agreed or hes been too tired and he is just like your DH. its ok, everything will happen when it happens, and i used to get really mad. and then i think in feb, we did try a lot, and i did a lot of embarassing acrobats after the deed. im dead sure every single time , we dtd, my legs would be up or my back would be in the same position based on how we finished. sorry tmi.. but ive suffered backaches and leg cramps struggling to get those swimmers in and would lay still fro as long as it took, and id like to think all that hard work payed off ? !!

a blighted ovum is when due top chromosomal abnormalities or weak sperm or egg, it tries to fertilize an egg, and everything is formed, well basically the sac is formed etc and you could even get a positive test etc, and feel symptoms, but the embryo does not for,. it eventually miscarrys.. or in my case the docs say it will reabsorb and causes no harm usually to the first child. the first one is growing fine and is 9+4 and my sac itself is measuring at 10+3 so thank god for that. just praying silly everyday to keep this beanie safe.. and praying for him/her to be a fighter.

mummy, sorry about your MS, hope you feel better soon.. try to take some rest, im sure thats impossible with cutie pie lotties birthday coming up as you mentioned !!

nypage, sorry youre still worried, i cant wait for when you actually get all excited and relaxed about your pregnancy, but truth be told, i cant blame you. my spotting and brown discharge may have stopped, but i cant stop worrying myself. i just need to know that the HB is there at every scan which makes my scan addiction worse !! i dont even have a doppler at home so its frustrating.. well im trying to be patient and am praying..

my next scan date for updates with marcus page... my ob gyn, lol is the 6th of april !!

so yay one more whole agonizing week to go !

P.S sarah, i like irish names too.. i like mackenzie and finnian and such irish names, but i know if i name my kid finnian, dh wont forgive me , nor will my kid !! ok stupid stupid question, very stupid, but whats pma stand for?


love to all. xxx
 
My first scan is 14 April (8 weeks).

I prefer not to mention my name choices. I might tell much later on when we've made a definite decision, but i might not. Last time we kept it a secret until Jarrod was born. We'll probably do that again - in case we change our minds on the name!

I've been really grumpy and irritable these last 2-3 days. Think i'm having another grumpy day. Last time i was also really grumpy first tri so i guess it's normal for me. Ho hum.
 
Morning!!

Sarah I just did accounts... nothing interesting! :)

Thanks for all the well wishes, you're all very kind! Feeling a little better today! :yipee:

So I have this link in my journal and in Nov Mum's thread where I promised I'd put it... but as a bunch of you wouldn't get to see it... I thought you might like to a) see my cheeky little girl and b) hear what I sound like! :rofl: I hate hearing myself... but sometimes it's nice to put a voice to the text we read! :shrug:

Anyway... here's Lottie and her early present from my folks...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=016ftAN5zcQ
 
NY... good luck for Monday hun!!! :hugs: I'm sure all will be perfect and it'll give you some more reassurance!! :flower:
 
hi everyone
im up early for me (is 8am now) and so time to pop in and say hello.

ny- just because you get an LH surge doesnt mean you actually ovulate...confusing huh!! like sheryl said, people can confirm by temps but I gave up the temping but in the past Ive had cramping and last month even had a spot of red discharge. so I dont know for sure, but assuming I probably did. I read that if you dont ovulate you can get another LH surge and it try again days later, so thats why if this ends up taking months I will continue with the ov tests for a while longer just to make sure. otherwise you are BDing way to early. I cannot wait for your scan, not long now

baby - wow I think the acrobatics helped!!! Im very stiff with my bad back and so I dont manage anything too exciting, but I make sure I lay down for 20 mins after. I have read that if you BD with him behind you are more likely for a boy, something to do with the deeper penetration, but Im sure thats all rubbish!! and wow so that means you could have had twins? so Im assuming you released 2 eggs then? although with identical twins its one empryo that splits so that could have happened too I guess. I am also praying for you that your beanie stays strong.....he/she has come this far so is doing very well. Im so shocked you havent purchased a doppler yet!

huggles - i like the name jarrod so Im sure you have some lovely names to decide from! and sorry that you are in a grump. I was very irritable last week when on bed rest as I am normally so busy. So excited for your scan!!

mummy - omg lottie is sooooooo gorgeous!! she makes me want one NOW!! and I loved hearing your voice. I have someone from SA that works for me and sounds similar. Over here in Canada people think English, SA and Australian voices are the same, when clearly they are not. She is just sooooooo cute. Are you thinking that your beanie will be a boy or a girl? obviously you would be happy with either, but do you feel like you would love one of each, or like another girl for lottie to grow up with?

You know what, I hope this thread lives on for years and that we will all be posting videos of our 2 year olds, 10 year olds and so on!

well Im going for a massage for my back today, its not a relaxing massage she really gets in there trying to release the muscles. Im going to start back on the treadmill tonight too.

SCANS
NY - April 4
Flying - April 5 (is this correct? your ticker says 7 days)
Babyhopes - April 6
Huggles - April 14
Mummy - April 18 (this is a guess, ticker says 19 days)
Sheryl -
 
Thank you mummy. I hope it has grown so badly. That video is adorable. I love how parents can always understand their kids speak but strangers may be like heh? I understood some and didn't other.

Baby you are far enouh for a doppler and hey are safer to use frequently why don't you get one?
