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

[nypage1981]

Hah Baby, the only chips I can eat right now are the tortilla kind that you dip in salsa. I hate other kinds right now!

 

[babyhopes2323]

ooh i love them chilli flavoured tortilla chips, especially the nachos yoou get with the hot cheese dip and salsa at the movies topped with jalapenos.. they are so damn tasty.. i take the jalapenos and dip them in the hot cheesy dip and suck on them.. they are so good !

 

[nypage1981]

Lol that sounds good apart from the jalepenos! Not a fan!

So, does your baby look like a baby yet at 10 weeks? I didnt get an ultrasound at that week so don't know what they look like....

 

[babyhopes2323]

well yes it does look like a baby, you can see the head and body, but the ultrasound machine at the office that my doc has is not a very good one, so even of the screen it was a bit fuzzy and he accepted that his machine is not a good one.. so the pic is there, just need to get to a scanner, tomorrow at my mums.. youll see the pic, you can make out many things, but its kinda fuzzy.x

 

[flyingduster]

You could take a photo of the picture with your cell too? Though then it'll probably be even more fuzzy! haha! Oh, but if your mum has a scanner, that'll work!


Sarah, I do hope it'll still turn into a BFP, but at the same time I know you don't mind too much cos it wasn't a 'real' try this cycle and I only hope that if AF comes, that she comes bang on time!!!!!! FX still though... you never know!


Huggles! Yay for an earlier scan day!!


TOOODDDAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Today is the day! It's 7:30am here, so still got 7.5 hours to wait for it, but I DON"T CARE. It's TODAY! haha. At looong last, I can get to see my baby! I'm taking my camera to record the screen if they don't offer a video too, cos it's the moving body that I want to share with my mum, not just still photos! heh. I will upload the video and the pics later when I get home from the scan, probably after 4pm my time. YAAAAY!!!

 

[Dew]

Preethi:so glad your scan went well. Congrats!

Sarah: 10 dpo is still early. Wishing for your BFP.

NY: you must have made your family extremely happy with baby news!

Sheryl: Hope your DH gets his desired job. Please, stay relaxed.

(Q:can men be ever fully satisfied with the job they got and money they are making?)

We waited to buy a house and to have financial stability before TTC and that's how things got delayed for us. Now we have a big house and all and baby is taking it's own sweet time to be with us. Hope you all get the happiness and satisfaction you are looking for in life.....however, I guess, we have to be really really thankful and appreciative of what we got in life.

Yay! Best wishes to you! Good idea about videotaping the scan

 

[nypage1981]

I never thought to video tape it. Darn it. Now I need to maybe go next week for another! Haha. Good luck.

Dew- yea I should have waited for the bigger house and marriage but he is 34 and I knew I had losses and not the most fertile person so really got antsy. Once i think of somehingi want, seems nohig else matters. Now im like shoot, we really should have waited until we had the house. I can be a bit one minded at times! But even wih her own nursery my daughter slept in my room til 9 months! I was a bit attached. Hope your baby comes to fill space soon dew! Are you taking anyhing or charting or anything?

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!!

had a massage and another chiro apt today, my back is starting to be less painful. Massage therapist was really nice (this is a new one Ive tried who works at the chiro) and I was telling him about my baby making plans and he said he is purchasing one of those things for the table with a cut out for baby bump so Im like perfect!!

ok have lots of posts to catch up on:

huggles: AF is due Monday if i have another 28 day cycle. If I go by last month I should start spotting on Friday, unless I wont spot now Mr P has gone! Yay for nausea and tight trousers!!! when else can you say that and that means your scan is in less than a week right?

flying: it googled time in NZ and it says its 9:30 am right now so 5 and a half hours to go, I will try and check back here before I go to bed see if you update, but not sure how long till you get home! and you are right, If my period is going to come then lets hope its on time. Ive never had a late cycle before, its always been 31 days or less and more recently bang on 28 days. So unless my operation is going to mess things up it should be Monday.

babyhopes: roll on April 20th! and Im so happy that baby was jumping around, thats so cute. I cant wait to see the image tomorrow! and good luck with the planning, it might be better to just wait till the baby is born then make your major life plans. and LOL on the salt and vinegar!! thats hubbies fave flavour. I love Cheese and Onion Walkers from the UK, or Sour Cream and Onion Ruffles from over here. Yum I might have to get some!! and yuk on the jalepenos thing....sucking them?? yuk!! my hubby loves them too, you two would get along!!

mummy: well thats good to know that you had a bfn on 10dpo, its funny as stats say most people dont get a bfp until after their period is late, but on here soooo many people get them early I find. I probably wont bother testing again and will just wait to see if my period comes, but if I do I will test on saturday or sunday.

ny - how lovely you told your family! I bet they were ecstatic! and its funny, Im pretty girly myself but I LOVE boys clothes!! I would be so much better dressing a boy I feel! do you have Mexx down in the states? I love their kids clothes as they are really nice colours and cool designs. My favourite thing is kids shoes and Im sure I will have quite a collection even if they only wear them for a month. I purchased some tiny pink puma shoes for a friends baby then ending up giving her something else so I still have them.

dew- I know exactly what you mean. I met my hubby when I was 29, and Im now 38 so we waited a long time. he is 9 years younger than me and I wanted to make sure he was ready, plus Ive been a career girl. We have a large house with lots of rooms and cant get a bfp. It so shows that none of that matters and it some ways I wish we hadnt waited. To me you are still so young and have plenty of time!
so what are your plans for the next cycle? do you do ov tests? we followed the sperm meets egg plan for a couple of months and this next cycle I want to try to BD every other night from CD10. I find that we tend to BD right around O then stop the day after, but I do wonder what if I had my surge but didnt ovulate till later as I read it can sometimes not happen then you get a 2nd surge. Even this past cycle I got my positive O on the Saturday, but didnt feel anything much in the way of O cramps. Then on the thursday I had some O-like cramping and I said to my hubby I hope Im not Oing later as we didnt BD again. FX's this next cycle is it for you!

does anyone know when it is that temps go high in the cycle to indicate pregnacy? I remember Sheryl yours stayed high and you were pretty sure you had done it. Mine are just normal, what they were other times of the cycle but I will keep temping just this week. I know it doesnt help that I dont have anything to compare it too but I would know if it suddenly went up this week.

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- no Mexx here! We do have cute kid's stores though and im sure i'd do ok with a boy they are cute too, but LOVE baby girl clothes so much! Least can buy them for my sister now either way. I do need a boy now that i've got a girl

I think the temps raise after implantation if that has occured....I am not the pro though at all. Mine were like 99. something when I took my first one and I was like...hmmm, thats kinda high.

Yes though- I do think I always stopped BDing too early for a while there. That's where temping should help out to tell you for sure when you are ovulating.

 

[sarahincanada]

yeah perhaps I should attempt the temping thing again. I just found it annoying as I get up at different times but I could probably make an effort to set my alarm the same time every day.

have you told your daughter as well then? if so what did she say?

 

[sherylb]

Temps rise in general after O. If they stay high for 3 days after AF is due that is when it's suppose to mean something. Mine never were that high to me so I expected AF.

 

[sarahincanada]

thanks sheryl, was hoping you would answer that for me!

Flying Im so tired and going to bed, its only 1:30pm over there so I will have to check in tomorrow to see your update. FX'd everything is perfect and your beany has grown into a baby

 

[Dew]

I used to temp earlier...it helped understand my cycles better which are pretty regular...now I just use CB ovulation predictor with smiley, I usually ovulate on CD11/12 so I start testing at CD9 and always get negative reading, then I smiley shows up either on CD10 or 11. BD pattern changes every month, we try to do it at least 3 times during fertile period. For this cycle my BD plan is CD8, 10, 11, 13...let's see how it works

When I charted, temp dropped on ovulation day, spiked day after and gradually increased thereafter, finally dropping abruptly on AF day. Good luck Sarah!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, i love walkers cheese and onion crisps.. they are the best pub snacks to go with lager or bitter !! mmm i craved salt and vinegar which i usually dont have.. i love cheesy flavoured anything !!

youre right about the move, im just waiting to see what happens.. and you know i tried following SMEP but it was impossible with the length of my cycle and me not getting a smiley face..what i do remember is that the month i got my BFP was the first time i had started temping and charting in FF and my first temp was about 36.7 degrees celsius and i started by the end of my cycle, not realizing it was the end because i didnt know when AF was going to arrive because of how long my cycles are.. i remember it stayed 37.0 for about three to four days in a row and then i got my BFP.

so hoping that happens for you this cycle and that AF stays away on monday.. i reckon after the polyp removal, it should be easier for you because its like a D&C, women tend to fall easily pregnant after a termination and though the polyp is not a termination, it is still the cleaning of your insides so praying this is it for you. my friend had a termination in december and got pregnant in march again or april so thats what im trying to say..

flying.. so excited and i know that now youve got about 2.5 hours for your scan because dubai is about 5-6.5 hours before OZ and NZ.

so cant wait to see your video. i had no one present to take a video, but hopefully at my 12wk 6 day scan, ill get DH to do it as it would be the first appointment he is coming to.and it would be one day before 13 weeks so should be able to see things very well.

updates on my doppler : i got an email from the seller on ebay saying its not a scam and that it will take time because its being shipped from the states and she sounded genuine, customer support team on ebay said it was sent by USPS and i think USPS dont delikver internationally? its UPS that does.. not sure but ill have to check on that..

hope everyone else is doing well, im off to my mums now to say good bye as shes going away for the month on holiday and hopefully figure out the picture uploading thing as huggles instructed me to do.. xx

 

[flyingduster]

I HAVE A BABY TOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Ok, I'm a dimwit and was totally caught up in it all and forgot to record it... but I go them to print of pics anyway. I'm GUTTED I forgot to get the moving pics, cos it was amazing to watch it bounce around like a nutter, up and down and rolling over, arms waving about and kicking out, arching it's back and then sliding back down! haha!

But it was all AMAZING! I've never ever had a scan for anything in my life, I've never been to one in real life either, and with having had no real confirmation that I'm pregnant for some time now; I was totally emotional seeing bub bouncing around so so much, and had tears rolling down my face the entire time! lol.

Anyway! The pics!

full body profile (arms up at it's head):
https://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/flyingduster2/IMG_1777.jpg
it's legs are curled here, but it kept kicking them out straight, propelling itself up and into the space at the top right of the pic, and then sliding down! Just playing and being a goon. heh.

face on (bit creepy, but cool still)

and a 3D pic, looking down from above, with the hands back up at it's face again. lol

Flying: Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I feel like crying too....pregnancy seems such a magical thing. Your baby looks too cute in scan pictures....big congratulations! Enjoy your pregnancy

 

[flyingduster]

Thank you Dew... I can only imagine your feelings, I remember that thought of how amazing it must be and the sorta happy feelings mixed with jealousy mixed with amazement etc... It IS amazing, I'm *still* crying remembering it bouncing around. And you WILL have that soon too!!!!!!

 

[babyhopes2323]
