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

[NDH]

Dew - yep looking forward to Tuesday, but I dunno if they'll just dip a test in pee (which I keep doing - 6/7 bfps so far and one dud test which is annoying as it was the first non IC I used Control window stayed white and the test window is a big pink blotch lol) or if they'll do a blood test. I really have no idea how it works here but I'll soon know.
I am "feeling" pregnant though. lots of cramping twinges going on, but vastly different from AF cramps so it's not worrying me. And today the masses of CM has started lol. (also second missed day of AF )

Sarah, I'll definitely be close to this being a baby for my birthday. Due date is 4 days after my birthday, but regardless, it's close enough for me

And still no word on the house I'll call on Tuesday as they're now closed for the Easter weekend.

Telling our parents probably on Sunday if I can convince DH. I made a video to show them in order to tell them the news, and my brother will be over for dinner, being Easter. Trying to decide if we should tell my brother at the same time, or just my parents first. We'll call/skype DHs parents Monday morning before we leave on our 4WD trip as it'll also be Easter Sunday for them.

Dew I was drinking soooooo much green tea! And took epo also. Didn't notice much. We just get a kit to dye eggs and dunk em in the colors. Ella colors and puts stickers on them. It's fun.

Sarah thanks for the boobie bouncing celebration! Made me giggle. Yes, I am shy and cautious. Stil/ am. It's hard to let myself get excited I feel guarded still but am feeling very blessed to be this far. So, did you get a smily tonight?

Ndh have fun telling the rents. My poor mom, I didn't tell her until 13 weeks. Hahahahaa.

So just to tell you all that if my words or sentences ever sound like a 5 year old typing, it is my stupid touch phone. I hard it. I am educated and not brain dead! I just try to go fast and it some times changes my words!

 

[nypage1981]

HEY I didnt try to make that mad red face on that post. Darn phone! I have no idea where that came from. Lol.

 

[NDH]

Lol I can relate NY. I often post from my phone and it makes me feel like an idiot when it changes my words.

 

[Dew]

Same with me...my iPad makes crazy words so I have to go back and edit a lot....that's one reason it takes me more time to post a reply

Had pizza for dinner tonight

NDH: at my clinic, they did urine test at first appointment, still it was relieving to see positive result as i was having 'What if' moment. I had only done one digital HPT test...was supposed to be 5 weeks but was so concerned that nurse is gonna say 'sorry, you are not pregnant'

 

[babyhopes2323]

thanks ladies, dew, my mum has gone to india on holidays, she is not in the UK, we are going to the UK to visit dh's family and friends..

sarah, i go to second tri on Monday. yay !!! dh is doing all the packing now. i am going to ask marcus about the bed rest etc, sarah hope you get your bfp along with dew soon.. so then you can join us too

Ndh, super excited for your doc appointment, let us know how it goes..

Ny, the pain is not from the uti, doc said it could be from the low lying placenta. but really mine is grade 1 and 1.2 cm only. not like full placenta previa. plus she said i have the slightest of UTI's and shes trying to sort it out by me drinking more water, no medication involved..

cant wait to speak to marcus on sunday really, just want to rid myself of all worries at the moment, we are moving tomorrow so all packing being done today.

Dh's mum sent me an email and i wrote back to her as well real nice one, hope this means we are working on our relationship.

i am really looking forward to a break in the UK, with friends etc, and hope marcus gives me the green to go.. im sure hoping he will. he is not the kind to advise bedrest as he think it restricts a woman and can cause depression but he asks them instead to not strain themselves instead of complete bedrest
Ny... 14 weeks yay !!!! now you and flying are into second tri..how exciting.. cant wait to join you both.. !!! although 14-27 weeks to get to third tri seems real long !!

to all , better go help or atleast stand with dh before he feels like he is doing all the work !

its dads belated birthday dinner tonight, so we are going to a mexican place and ive arranged for a surprise choc mousse cake as well, so looking forward to it.. havent been going out much lately at all so this will be nice for a change !

 

[NDH]

Preethi, hoping Marcus gives you the go ahead for going to the UK then. It's good too that he doesn't believe in full bed rest. I know I'd go stir crazy and I'm not even the go go go type. Hope things get better with your MIL, and have fun at your dad's birthday party.

So DH didn't want me telling my parents til taking a proper store bought test and we were going to tell them on Sunday, but the four of us went for a beach walk tonight and DH whispered to me "let's just tell them now" so at the end of the walk, under the moonlight with the sand between our toes DH asked them their thoughts on being grandparents. My mom took it well (ie not jumping up and down screaming with excitement, even though she said she wanted to haha) and my dad was also thrilled.

hi everyone! just popping on to say hi, got the inlaws coming over for dinner today so busy tidying and cleaning up!

preethi: enjoy the dinner tonight! that will be so nice. are you close to your dad? you mention your mum more. Looking forward to hearing what marcus says about everything

ndh: what a lovely way to tell them! I bet they are so happy for you. first of many many grandkids for them hopefully

ny: I laughed as right when you were ranting about your phone it said 'I hard it. ' which I assume was supposed to be I hate it, was good timing!!!! Im so happy you are in 2nd tri, Im sure you will enjoy it more than 1st.

hi everyone else :wave:

we had a good BD session last night. No smiley face tonight and today is the day I got it the last 2 months. It would be great to get one tonight as then it means Im very regular now. I did one this morning, going to do them 2x a day these next few days as Im curious to see when the surge starts and ends. then its the dreaded 2ww arrghhhhh, although it really does not feel that long since the last one so I suppose its not thhhaaaaat bad!!!!

 

[sherylb]

Sarah what did your temps do today?

 

[sarahincanada]

my ticker says waiting to ovulate, 2 days to go...does that mean it guesses sunday? today, tomorrow then sunday, or today, tomorrow and ov is that day.
I just wondered. it also says today is one of my most fertile days, ooooohhhh makes me want to BD! if I get a smiley face I will be, cant wait till tomorrow thats waaayyy too long. me want

 

[NDH]

Enjoy dinner with the inlaws Sarah. Here's hoping for a smiley face for you and a of your own in two weeks now that Mr P is out of the picture.

 

[sarahincanada]

Sarah what did your temps do today?

35.99, yesterday was 35.89 so more or less the same but a bit higher. ov test this morning was negative. wish me luck for a smiley tonight, then ov tomorrow please!!

 

[sarahincanada]

also got watery cm, finally could tell the difference...only because its very thin and watery and I can tell the difference compared to the other days.

thanks that would be amazing! I would only be a few weeks past my deadline and january is our anniversary and late dads bday month.
but I have to be patient and not be too upset if it doesnt happen, I think its unlikely for everything to be perfect and happen first time, but if it does then fantastic!!

 

[Dew]

Sarah what did your temps do today?

Sarah: can I ask what urine you use for OPK? First morning urine is not good. Best is to concentrate second morning urine for 2-3 hours for testing.

 

[Huggles]

fx'd!

I always do it at night, about 9pm. just these next few days Im going to test 2x a day ...reason being that i always get my smiley test in the pm as thats when I test, but I wonder if it started earlier in the day. also the last 2 months I have gotten another smiley the morning after the first smiley test....so I think if you are having a surge the morning pee does pick it up as it has for me the past 2 months. I will test again tonight around 9, FXd!

how are you doing?

how are you doing?

Surge for ovulation hormone is supposed to happen in early morning hours, FMU is night's urine, once it is emptied, 2nd urine gets concentrated with ovulation hormone released in body in the morning. If you see first smiley at night, you'll definitely see a smiley in the morning

I am doing fine....wish I wasn't

Enjoy dinner with in-laws....what's on the menu?

 

[nypage1981]

Dew- Funny we had pizza last night too! I wasn't really feelin it but had one piece during the egg coloring.
We have an iPad too and I dont really like it for much. I hate surfing on it. All we use it for is reading or Ella plays games. I dont know why but I still like going to a normal computer to type. I have the HTC EVO phone and just hate it! I hate touch screen. See, all my words in this post are normal!

When I went for my first appointment they didn't even do any sort of pregnancy test! WTH? I was so shocked. They just took my word for it. Lol. I took a bazillion tests because they were all IC's and they were so light at first. THen made OH go buy like 4 different kinds and they were all yep!

Sarah- when I tested OPK I did one in morning (or like 11ish) and one afternoon and one night! Lol. But, then again, I was using the IC's so they werent too costly and I had a gazillion of them. Thats what I was referring to I thought those must have been the UTI since it didn't sound like you really had the placenta previa thing. Maybe they were just growing pains!

Preethi- what was the sharp shooting pains you were having earlier? Were those just caused by the placenta thing, and do you still have them?

Dew- hopin you and sarah can get er done this cycle Hahhaha. But seriously. Then we'd have all our peeps in here pregnant, right?

Bad me, I am not forgetting anyone am I ????

Ella is off school today so we are going to Mall of America and doing the theme park there with her bff - another Ella. Lol. I still haven't told Ella and my tummy is getting undeniable! I feel like I need to tell her STAT!! I also feel like I need to go on a diet All my excess tummy fat I was trying to lose is really putting a damper on this pregnant look. Yuck.

Hope you are all doing well today!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, i wasnt very close to my dad all but we have become close after the pregnancy thing.. my mum and i are very close and i tell her everything !!

Ny, it could be round ligament pains or a muscle pull as i have not had them after that at all.. just super sore bbs because of the progesterone and bloat from those pills too.. when is everyone doing to do a belly shot ?? id like to see progression bumps. ill add one on monday when im 14 weeks..

hope everyone is doing well and sarah FX'D for your smiley face enjoy dinner with the inlaws tonight...

dew fx'd your tww will be over soon and youll have your BFP .
