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

[MummyCat]

Hiya...

Sarah, I had loads of symptoms... very sore boobs from about 5/6dpo and increased CM from early on. Bad gas... believe it of not... nausea started about 3/4dpo! Crazy I know... but I felt rough!

Looking forward to hearing good news from you all very soon!! Good luck with the scans ladies!

At this point I want to cry...

I am at work and DH is instant messaging me about our finances and that he was trying to figure out the least amount of $$$ he could settle for at a new job. I have put off thinking about finances as long as possible as long as we have a healthy bank account and am doing my share to bring in $$$ for the time being. I just feel like he is way more stressed out about finding a new job than he is letting on.

Just have to get though 8 more work days and then I will be at home cooking instead of picking up dinner so we can save a little $.

Hey girls!

Flying and Baby- I cannot believe I misread and thought yoru scan was today and was super excited Well im still excited for tomorrow then!

Sarah- flying reminded me thats why i ended up testing. I had just gotten my thermometer and began the temping and I didn't have anything to compare to but they seemed high anyways compared to other women's and they were like that for 3 days so I was like, Hmmm, guess i'll test.

Baby- I am not sure about how it is there for ultrasounds....but at each one we go to we have gotten a picture of our blob. Those were 6 and 7 weeks. This one we got a few of them, but if you ask wouldn't they totally give you one? I think you should ask for sure! They just print it out...and it's still on file for the office as well. I hope you find a house soon....I did think you were for sure moving to Australia already, is that still pending?

IDK if we can even sell this house because we will lose so much money, and with me not really a working woman, don't know if we'd be able to afford a good house with being negative on this one I feel stuck and hate hate hate this house. Always have. Its a scary, old, gross place. Well ok, not soooo horrible but very old. I was looking at houses online today and daydreaming and am so afraid for OH to crush my daydreams so do not plan to bring this up for a while yet. We need to still be happy about this baby surviving its rough first trimester, I dont want to ruin that yet!

Good luck at your scan!!!

Sheryl-men totally do that, get very stressed about things and hide it from us. I do not like that. Feel like mine hides financial issues from me all the time since he is the money maker and its scary. Do you plan to work after the 8 weeks are done or do you wait until next tax season again?

Dew- I was taking B6 vitamins for my sickness for a while there and had to stop taking them because they made me naseaus. Wish I thought of the banana thing! Now im ok though, sickness gone except for more of indigestion and belly aches. But no more pukes. That sucked!

Ok, still can't wait for the scans tomorrow!

 

[sherylb]

Next year we will have a baby so I will be staying at home. Daycare is not cheap.

 

[nypage1981]

So the 8 days is your last 8 days, how nice!

 

[sarahincanada]

hi flying!! Im soooo excited for your scan. what time is it NZ time so I can figure out the time here.
thats so funny about the hypnobirthing, I didnt know of it before Huggles mentioned it. Ive bookmarked the person who does it here to look into it once I am finally preggers.
thats weird you are entering winter. we are just leaving it, we've had some really nice days last week so everyone was thinking spring is almost here, then we had a dumping of snow!
happy 90th grandma flying!!

hi mummy! I wondered where you were today. I cant believe how much creamy cm I have right now, but its probably just as Im looking everytime I got to the bathroom!! Its so annoying as Im so NOT a symptom spotter but then things come up and having you thinking hmmmmmm. But I really dont want to get hopes up, Im not good with that as you might have noticed. My nipples are really sore too though. However if my period comes at least I will know next time to definitely ignore these symptoms (you will have to remind me!)

sheryl: finances are the most stressful thing in life, and its especially hard for men who feel they need to be the provider. In my house its opposite as I am the main worker as my business has done well and hubby works 3 days a week and has turned into more of the domestic one. I hope your hubby can find a well paid job that he likes too. Keep positive, people can always find a way and the important things you have....eachother and a growing baby.

ny: I remember that exact post when you mentioned the one temp and it seemed high! Im not sure when they go high but mine are not when Ive done a few random temps in the morning.
so with your current house, is it worth less than the mortgage? thats too bad and I hope you can one day get out of there!

babyhopes: you better get a photo! even if you had to push marcus aside and print it yourself LOL tell him you have women all over the world waiting for a glimpse of mini Preethi!!

Im spending way too much time on here and not working. Its that restless end of the 2ww feeling

 

[NDH]

Sarah, thanks, I hope so too. We don't have a place yet, but my next fertile time is the beginning of May and we're really hoping to find a place by the end of April I found a place that looks promising that's only $80/month more than we were hoping for available on the 22nd.

NY, I hope your housing situation has a solution before the baby is born. I wouldn't have even moved into a place that had belonged to DH and his ex (assuming mine had one), so make him realise how unfair it is that he expects you to make a permanent home from another woman's home. Room for a baby or not, you've put up with it for long enough.

Sheryl, in our house even though DH is the main income earner (most of the time) I'm the nerd who worries and stresses about the finances and works out the minimum we can both afford to be working. My Dh is so laid back it bothers me - I wish he'd make more of an effort.

So excited for upcoming scans!

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah yes I had just began temping so I had it down for the next cycle and noticed they seemed high. What a coincidence that was. We are getting springy here too. Hope no more snow. I am fed up with that. Yea, the house is worth less than owed because 6 years or however long ago it was too much I think but the houses around here are still going for so little right now. It's super depressing. But like you said, we have a nice little family here and we will get by. Even if I am 40 when I get my dream home!

Hope you're days go quick so you can either be happily surprised or move on with next cycle.

 

[MummyCat]

Morning!!

Excited for Flying and Baby today!!!

OMG Sarah... I will not believe it if you have only gone and got yourself pregnant within weeks of having your polyp removed! But your symptoms sound very promising!! My facebook was being a bugger yesterday and I had about 3 people send me messages and it would NOT display them!!

NY I hope you get the house you want some time soon!

No news here.... apart from my brother coming to visit tomorrow! so I'm excited about that! He lives in Southampton which is about 3 hours from us.

 

[Huggles]

Im sure I had yellow cm and globby white bits before. I have a terrible memory and seem to forget everything, but Im sure I googled that before. I did my temp this morning and although nothing to compare its not high. I think I might do a IC test tomorrow at 10dpo just because this wait is soooooo annoying and boring.

I did an IC opk test at 10dpo and got a faint second line. I had done one the day I got them about a week earlier and there had been absolutely no second line. So you may get something!

Tomorrow!!! Tomorrow I have my scan!!!!!!! I'm sooooo excited. I have a huge busy day at work today, but I DON'T CARE, cos the sooner I get through it, the closer I am to my SCAN! lol. I have to work tomorrow morning as well, but that's stuff all. lol!

Oooh, exciting! Enjoy!

huggles, hope your doing okay and are excited about your scan.. when is it?

My scan was originally tomorrow (thurs), but then it was moved as the doctor had surgery booked. So now it's only next thursday (14 april), 8 whole days away!

At this point I want to cry...

I am at work and DH is instant messaging me about our finances and that he was trying to figure out the least amount of $$$ he could settle for at a new job. I have put off thinking about finances as long as possible as long as we have a healthy bank account and am doing my share to bring in $$$ for the time being. I just feel like he is way more stressed out about finding a new job than he is letting on.

Just have to get though 8 more work days and then I will be at home cooking instead of picking up dinner so we can save a little $.

Hope he finds a good job soon and all the worries settle down

I cant believe how much creamy cm I have right now, but its probably just as Im looking everytime I got to the bathroom!! Its so annoying as Im so NOT a symptom spotter but then things come up and having you thinking hmmmmmm. But I really dont want to get hopes up, Im not good with that as you might have noticed.

When is AF due?
Those symptoms do sound positive

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFM, I might have gotten my first bout of nausea/ms last night
My aunt and uncle and cousin came to visit, so i was wondering around showing them the house and we had a lovely visit. Then they left and i went to plant the 2 plants they'd brought. When i came back inside i suddenly felt really rough and had to lie down. I lay there for about 15 minutes. Not nauseous as such but i totally felt like i might actually throw up. Started feeling better again and managed to dish supper and eat and it went away again.
Very mild possible nausea feelings on and off this morning as well. I'm SO glad if they are there because I have absolutely no other symptoms to speak of and it is a bit nerve-wracking!
Nothing major nausea-wise, and i'm still able to eat, but there is a slightly uneasy feeling so i'm really happy about that.

AND, my trousers feel somewhat tighter today as well!

 

[flyingduster]

haha, well my scan is still 'tomorrow' for me, as it's currently just after 8pm on wednesday still, BUT it's now less than 19 hours until my scan now, so it's LESS than one day to go! heh.

Sarah, my scan is at 3pm NZ time. I'm not sure what time it'll be for you though....

Those symptoms do sound promising, but UGH, doesn't it SUCK how similar the symptoms are to PMS!? I *hated* that, I'd spot allllll sorts of symptoms and they'd come to nothing but red... Ugh. I hope hope hope for you that it's either a BFP, or a nice on-time AF! There's NOTHING worse than a really late AF and BFNs!! FX for you hun!!! Rant and rave as much as ya want too! heh.


And for NDH and Dew too! You're both still trying to get your BFPs too, and I KNOW all three of you ladies will get them soon! Truely! Sticky baby dust to you ALL!


Hahahahaha Huggles! It's soooooooooo nice to have a SOLID symptom isn't it!? It's so funny how it's only those who've been TRYING that can really be so happy to feel so bad! lol!


Sherylb I'm so sorry you're worrying about money... it totally sucks and I'm thinking of you! I am sure it'll all work out......


Baby, you should be able to ask them to print off a photo for you... I know you're not as far along but it'll still make a neat photo to keep! And then you can use your cell to take a photo of the photo... lol! Can't wait to see!



I'm currently FREEZING, the weather here has totally gone to winter. Ugh. I had training tonight,I turned up for the class I was taking, but left as soon as it was over (normally I stay and train Paris and end up not leaving until nearly 9pm) it was so cold in the hall where we train and I'm feeling crappy (happy mentally, but physically I feel yuck) so just came home. I'm about to go and run a warm bath and then when I get out I'll call my nana (she's 4 hours behind me in Perth) and go to bed me thinks. An early night, and just an easy half-day at work tomorrow. YAY!

 

[babyhopes2323]

ok so my scan was today and yes ny, we usually get pics here, last time i forgot to ask or something, but i do have quite a few pics with me, i got the pic from today but marcus said earlier on itself that his ultrasound system is not that great so pic is a bit fuzzy, will just have to find a scanner now and have one of you guys teach me how to upload it !1

i know how to change avatar, dont know how to upload pics !

spoke to him about the NT, he said not essential but they do it in the hospital by a radiologist because he is not certified to do nt scans and thats how it usually is., i said what if i go to radiologist and he does the 12 week scan and then does not do the NT? he said not possible, but did say look, you dont have to worry for nine months, you can just come to me as usual for a check up and scan after two weeks and ill do the normal screening.. yay... hes such a darling !!

so my next appointment is on the 20th of april and i will be 12 +6 today i measured 10+6

baby was jumping about on the scan, it was awesome to see, and im so happy with the doc.,. im trying to convince dh that if he loses his job we can still stay here in dubai by getting my dad to sponsor me under his visa or some family member and the insurance can be covered personally with our finances, we found out we could do a few things, so im happy, lets see what happens.

i was ready to go to australia, but ive found such a nice doc and family are here so why not stay until the baby is born, im sure dh will sort out a job by then, i mean we do have some savings so we are not suffering or anything.. lets hope it all works out for the best. xx

please tell me how to upload a pic anyone >??

sarah, sore boobs is a very good sign .. thats what i had, but apart from that realy i had no other symptoms.. if AF has not arrived yet, lets keep our fingers crossed for you..

NY, hoper you find a house soon, we are looking at a 6 months short term rental because we dont know our visa situations so 6 months means the baby will be born , but we'll just have to deal with that !

huggles yay.. 14 th april, not far off at all.. xx

flying... woop woop tomorrow... do upload the pic !

sheryl, hope everything works out for you financially.

we are concerned about medical insurance as well because without that, a simple delivery is about 12000 - 14000 dirhams plus the baby stuff..

by the way the NT scan is not covered under insurance here.. im not having it anyway so it does not matter !

 

[Huggles]

I find the easiest way to upload a pic is to click on the Post Reply button, which takes you to the main reply page. Then you'll see a little paperclip in the list of icons above the writing box. Click that. It'll open another window. Click on browse and choose the pic you want to upload. Then click the button on the far right "upload". Wait until you see the name of the link appear with a line under it, a short way below the browse box. Depending on the size of the pic and your internet speed it might be quick, it might take a while. Once you see that link appear close that window and finish your post as usual. Wehn you hit "Post/Reply" (i've forgotten what it's called) then you attachement will appear.

Good luck! And glad your'e really happy with your doctor.

 

[Huggles]

oh good grief, just had to change my first scan date - yet again!
Was originally supposed to be tomorrow. Then the secretary phoned to move it cos the dr had surgery booked. So it got moved to next thursday (14th). I just realised we have training that day, and the day before - i can't be late at work!

So i just phoned and the only other option that I can actually make is on Tuesday at 2:15pm. Totally not a good time as it means taking a half day's leave, but at least it's 2 days earlier!

 

[babyhopes2323]

yayyy !!! its earlier,, thats awesome so not long to go at all !!!


thanks for letting me know how to upload the pic, i just have to find a scanner now ! maybe a while..

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!
no time to read the posts as I have to get ready for my chiro & massage but I got a BFN on a sensitive IC and my temps was regular today....not very promising but at least its somewhat of an answer so Im not going crazy till sunday/monday. I know it could still happen, but unlikely in my eyes.
will check in later to see if preethi and flying have uploaded scans! flying I think it will be very late here my time you will be on
byyeeee!

 

[Huggles]

sorry for the bfn sarah

 

[MummyCat]

Huggles!! Yay for earlier date!!

Sarah.... honey... 10dpo is early... I got a bfn on 10dpo!! Only got a faint line on 12dpo... so don't count yourself out yet! lets see what the weekend brings!! Hopefully not the if you're going to test again before AF, try wait two days... so maybe Sat morning! I still feel very positive about this cycle of yours!!

Baby... looking forward to seeing your baby!!

Flying... Bet you're sleeping now... dreaming of seeing your bubs.... very excited for you!! Looking forward to seeing your scan!! xx

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- hope af stays away! You just never do know!

Baby- glad you found a lovely doctor who makes you feel better! That is essential in all of this craziness!

I have finally told my family. It was so hard! I am afraid of jinxing things! But, it was necessary so now they know. And my lil sissy is having a girl so I bought some girl stuff today Girl stuff is soooo much cuter than boy stuff, im so girlie. And have a feeling I am having a boy, not sure how I will dress the little man!


Huggles- by then its a good time for the ultrasound becasue you will really be able to see the HB by then! Can't wait to see it!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah.. praying the AF stays away.. i had so many bfns before my bfp, but mind you i wasnt testing this time, the month i got my bfp, i only randomly tested after waiting a bit for AF and got lucky.. xx FX'd


omg.. ive gone through two small packs of salt and vinegar crisps.. their so tasty when you lick em one by one with their tangy sourness.. ooh good thing i stocked up on more.. xx
