[babyhopes2323]

Flying.. i would be excited if i was put a week forward !! dont panic ! its brilliant news !\

 

[NDH]

Glad you have the go ahead for your trip Preethi

And congrats on your awesome Spanish score!

 

[babyhopes2323]

i wasnt actually given the go ahead by any doctor, its just that marcus was a bit more calm about it and i think considering i wont bee to heavy and uncomfortable it should be fine. lots of women travel and many travel in their 8th month as well to go and give birth in different countries so i dont think it should be a problem !

 

[babyhopes2323]

did you say dec 29h was your due date? NDH? thats dh's birthday and if its 28th, it will be our 2 year wedding anniversary ! lol i think boxing day is 2
the 27th ?

 

[NDH]

My dates say it's the 31st. My GP said boxing day (the 26th - my birthday is the 27th ) and I don't see how she can be right as that means I would have conceived on CD7

But of course, EDD is really a 4 week window so who knows when he'll be born.

Whether it was an official go ahead or just that he didn't advise you against going, it's still good news.

 

[nypage1981]

Flying- thanks for the offer but, like you, I don't feel like its a real bump yet anyways. Just bloated fat so im not too excited to show that off yet! Lol.

Preethi- I agree on the doppler. Its a lifesaver for me. OH and I have skyped and listened to the bean together while he is away and he just loves it. Actually, OH is the one who HAS to hear the HB every day. Otherwise I may be able to skip a couple in between but he just has to hear it! Funny.

Sarah- where ya been girl?

Dew- you too!

Ndh- sorry bout the house, it'll happen!

AFM- bad morning!
I am ready to drop my animals off in a rural field and leave them there! All this morning......first, my cat who has never done anything bad before knocks over a flower pot from the table that I had just gotten so it broke and there is black dirt all over. Well, I am trying to get my daughter to school and run the garbage can to the end of the driveway because I hear the trucks so I dont clean the dirt up right away. Hard wood floors, I will get there. SO a little bit later I come out and he is PUKING in the dirt. WTH?? This is straight out of a bad, disgusting comedy show. So that was fun. THEN my dog is in the back room and I go to let them out and she chewed apart one of my favorite boots. Took it off the fricken shelf and chewed it. Then as I scolded her she peed on the floor. OK, pets are NOT my friends today. I am sending them all to boarding school!

 

[Huggles]

LoL shame ny - really sounds like they're out to get you!

 

[sarahincanada]

flying: from what I understand clomid does help make better eggs (I think) and also helps to thicken the uterine lining. It is hard to know if I need it, thats the dilemma. Ive had a lot of great advice and different opinions on here so I feel good about either decision.
its so weird to think you are going into winter, we are currently having april showers and waiting the summer. winter is pretty cold and snowy in canada so we definitely enjoy the summer. my favourite time is the fall....lots of amazing colours and I like the clothes too....covering up my flabby white skin but not too many layers.
soooo excited for you to see the midwife and hope we can all hear the HB! so that will probably be friday night my time
p.s omg your baby can suck, swallow and blink awwwwwww!

sheryl: soooo glad to hear about the medicaid moving along, thats great. will you book a doctors apt as soon as you have it? and wow your bump has really formed it is beautiful!!
any news on hubbys job search?

ny: hubby is a pretty easy going guy so he is fine going ahead with a little 'help'. I think he doesnt like to say much as he doesnt want me to feel bad that I cant get pregnant when he has great sperm....he feels saying negative things would mean he is being negative that I cant get pregnant (which is kinda nice of him). He has always felt it was the polyp in the way and keeps saying how he saw it on the ultrasound so regardless if it had broken down by the time they got in there it was definitely there. So he feels if we try naturally it will happen, but also ok if I want to go ahead with the help.
has ella said anything more about the baby or forgotten about it??!!
LOL cute story about the pets, I have 3 jack russells and the baby is always doing something naughty. She loves to play tug of war with the middle dog and the other day I looked down and they were playing tug of war with my THONG!!!

ndh: too bad about the house, I was more wanting you to get the house so that you could BD freely for your BFP but thats not the case anymore!!!! so its great you are calm about moving now that you are pregnant. Im sure something great will come along and how wonderful for you to be moving as a proper little family.
and yay for doctors apt and cant wait fot your first scan! and I bet you deliver your baby just before your birthday just like you wanted...or perhaps on your birthday!

mummy: hi!! heres my chart below, how exciting it has funny lines on it now...Im assuming thats O day and the coverline that people talk about. not sure what the point of the coverline is but I know you are not supposed to dip below it if you are pregnant right?
and can you mail me a scone please, thank you
cant wait to see photo of red, white and blue lottie!!

huggles: definintely take it easy! how is everything going? not long till your apt

babyhopes: yay so excited that you get to go on a trip soon....so obviously you see DH's family, do you have friends over there too? they have been having lovely weather so it will be soooo nice. hope to see a photo of you in the english countryside eating some cheese and onion crisps!!!! and congrats on the spanish, you clever thing you.

dew: how are you feeling, not long to go

well as for me im feeling pretty calm after a day of feeling a little down and unsure of everything. Im going to have a relaxed 2WW, no symptoms spotting as Ive had everything already and not been pregnant. Im trying not to think about the whole TTC thing at all, so apart from coming on and talking to you guys Im not thinking about myself. I will probably set up a plan and decide how many cycles to try naturally and when to start the monitoring thing. Like I said before, I dont mind not being pregnant for my families trip, so that might be a good reason just to take it easy naturally for the next few months. also I have to figure out where in my cycle I will be when they are here, as I wont be able to go on loads of scans etc when they are here so might be best to start everything in september.
Im going to forget about my age for a while, as many of you pointed out my FSH is good and I seem to be ovulating, so why worry yet. I do panic with the fact that I need to get a BFP, have it be a sticky one and cook it for 9 months...so I will probably be 40 by then. But thats ok, hopefully I will have twins or get pregnant with my 2nd quickly!!!

 

[Huggles]

I'm doing ok thanks - don't really have much to report which is why i don't post much. Just moseying along day by day.

Had a lovely long relaxing weekend. Plus yesterday was another public holiday. So hubby and i have been lovely and lazy for the past few days, sleeping really late and i've spent most of the time on the couch watching tv. We planted some grass in our back yard and i tidied the spare room (which will be the baby room), but other than that haven't done a heck of a lot.

Hope you manage to stay relaxed for your 2ww. I usually find the first week easy enough but half way through the second week i get antsy and just need to know. It's so weird how our emotions and thoughts about things can literally change day by day just becuase of hormones. One day i'll feel fine about somethign and the next day totally uncertain (that was more during ttc, but you know what i mean). Anyway, hope the 2ww flies by for you and has some good news at the end.

 

[nypage1981]

Huggles- I think they are in revolt...they must have had a meeting while I was asleep as to how to challenge my morning!

Sarah- sooo funny about the tug of war with your thong. That great! I think your family trip should be the deciding factor then. If you think you for sure do not want to be pregnant for that, then definately do not try to do the clomid and monitoring before then. Ella hasnt mentioned anything more about the baby, except she is telling people so I suppose that is a good thing! About your chart, I thought post ovulation temps were always higher than the pre ovulation ones so im confused! I hope they don't drop for you and stay above the red line!

Side note, HOW do you spell definately? No matter which way I do it, my computer underlines it that its incorrect? I thought I had it right! Frustrating me!

I spell it definitely, its an 'i'

I have quickly written out my cycles and if things stay the same I would be in a 2WW when they come. I dont mind being pregnant when they are here, however its more that I dont want to start treatments then have to skip a month as they are here and I cant get to the doctor 4x in a week. (its an hour drive and I will be busy everyday with them). so in that case I would either start the treatments soon and have a couple before they come or wait till after.

as Huggles says, our minds can change quickly so I am just going to calm my mind and take each day as it comes. otherwise this whole thing is to hard, that part when you get your period and realize you have another month of waiting is so awful.

Im definitely trying one more month naturally, as its only 10 days to go till my CD1 and so Im not in that much of a hurry

as for my chart, I think my temps will just keep going up and up. right now they are the same as my pre O temps after the dip, that one high one was later in the day so probably doesnt count. so Im waiting for them to soar up high!! Ive gotten used to the temping now, isnt as annoying to remember each morning and I like that they could warn me ahead of time that AF is coming, letting me down gently!

 

[nypage1981]

Well a 2ww wouldn't be so bad to have family around then right? I think that means you aren't off to the doctor and have already done everything for that cycle and can just relax with the fam.

 

[Dew]

Hey everyone, hope you are all doin well. The "crazy" bug bit me around 10 dpo and I have been feeling down in the dump since then praying and hoping I will get my BFP when the reality is that I have no pregnancy symptom and have been very PMS-y. It's so strange that I find myself visiting 'BFP announcement' and '2WW' forums these days. I do not temp but I still record my AF and ovulation data on fertility friend.com just for my records...I am writing down every little twinge, ache, sneeze etc in there too for future use. Good thing is that I am driving with DH to neighboring state today, returning tomorrow so that should distract me a little. As AF due date is May 1 and since I start spotting 3 days before, I am dreading seeing brown CM today...that would mean the end of hope for this cycle. Of course I'll be fine afterwards and look forward to next cycle but this stage is killing me. Sorry for the rant

yes, IF my cycles stay the same!
I really want to have a nice vacation with my family as the whole family only comes every other year, so Im thinking why not leave the treatments till after....its great if I get pregnant naturally before, but leave any helping treatments till after. anyway, I will try not to think about it anymore and see month by month how I feel. I might not be able to wait 4 months without help!!

also my mum is over again in october so I would have her support for treatments if we started then.

Im going to really try to take these months and lose some weight while Im trying naturally, as that could be a factor. Im surprised the FS didnt mention it, I like to think its because I dont look overweight but technically Im about 25 pounds over what I should be for my height, and 50 pounds over what I was in my 20's

Dew my lovely, I know EXACTLY how you feel. The part of the 2WW you are in is the worst. do you test at all? I usually do one test around 10dpo then when I see its negative I assume Im out and it makes the days a little easier as the not knowing thing is horrible.
Im still holding out hope as no symptoms is a good sign I find
big enjoy your little trip

 

[sherylb]

Yes, I will schedule my appointment as soon as it's approved. My doctor is great about getting me right in so that shouldn't be an issue. Plus I have stayed in close contact with them about the status of the Medicaid.

DH went to a mandatory class for unemployment this morning. He found out about a new job posting at a company he had applied with so he applied for that this morning.

 

[nypage1981]

Dew I'd try a test also. Just so you know what to expect more as the days come near AF time....Also, just remind me, have you dont the whole FS route and done any testing for things to be wrong? DH done testing?

 

[sarahincanada]

hey sheryl
was just looking at your chart the month you got pregnant, its interesting as when I view in celcius your temp never went up higher than 36.4, where I always thought your temps had to go much higher. also some of your pre o and post o temps are similar like mine.
