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

[Dew]

Those twinges sound good Sarah! hope you get just the right amount and size of follies and I hope you get pregnant this cycle.

I am feeling bad right now because I jogged real hard during last couple of days and I am reading online that jogging is not good during 2WW After MMC I didn't exercise at all for all these months and ended up gaining about 15 lbs, that didn't help get me my BFP! DH has some hope from this cycle as we BDed well but I am just so disappointed, feels like I am my own enemy this cycle I am feeling that I am not gonna get pregnant again as if it's bad Karma or something it's just a sad thought.

Sarah, I'm approximately 12 weeks - should be either today or tomorrow, but my scan in 50 minutes should be more specific lol.

Dew, my understanding of the CD21 test is it can tell if you've ovulated by checking your progesterone levels. It's traditionally done on CD21, but that is based on the ideal 28 day cycle. Ideally it should be done 7 days after ovulation - some doctors always order it for CD21 no matter what and if a person has a long cycle and doesn't ovulate by CD21 it can cause inaccurate results, obviously. If you know when you ovulate often you can ask your doctor to order it for 7dpo, which will give the best result.

Oh and I'm another one who likes Chloe. Chloe and Moriah are the current top two choices for a girl for DH and I. We still can't agree on any boy's names. (Middle name will be Rebekah after my mom I think. Can't remember if we decided first born of either gender would be named after my parents or just if it's a boy. DHs dad already has a grandson named after him, but DHs mom's name is Brenda which doesn't work quite as well as a middle name I don't think. But conversely, DHs dad's name - David - works much better than my dad's name - Trevor - as a middle name)

Tricky name situation. Good thing you have plenty of time to decide. 6 more weeks than I do probably.

Sorry for the above rant...it just is the only outlet for me as don't want to upset DH with all this. Thanks for understanding!

BnB is made for rants. No worries.

I dont think thats true, I remember mentioning I exercised a lot one 2WW and NY said that she had exercised a LOT the month she got her bfp. There must be millions of workout fanatics that fall pregnant, Im sure it helps as its keeping the body healthy. Not sure where you read it, but I wouldnt believe it myself.

it reminds me on here someone had said not to try and lose weight when TTCing as when your body is losing fat it wont think you can sustain a pregnancy and you wont get pregnant. well Im trying to lose weight and hope thats not the case....I dont diet but try and cut down on junk and exercise more so I hope they just mean when people are strictly dieting. Im not going to believe it or change what Im doing.

Grrr.... I am looking at clothing lots on Ebay. Love! However, I just know as soon as I buy girl clothes it's going to be a boy. I was reading about whether to put the newborn in the crib at night and I laughed to DH that I was picturing a boy in the crib. Maybe I do want a boy?

 

[sarahincanada]

for fun I changed my avatar photo to me as a kid...if any of you have baby photos please do the same!!

 

[sherylb]

I will find one for you.

This is the youngest one I can find. All of my pictures growing up are framed from our wedding collage.

I don't know if I have any pics of me as a kid on my computer. But when I'm done working I may take a photo of one as I have all my photo albums here and though they're not unpacked I know where they are

When I'm done work I'll also post scan pics! Got some really great shots. was bouncing and possibly hiccuping? Very cute. Got about a 25 minute scan as it was my NT scan and wasn't showing off the nuchal fold very well so I had to empty my bladder so she could put pressure on me to get the right angle.

HB is 159bpm (126 at my 7 week scan) and the CRL measurements varied between 11w4d and 12w0d. Sonographer went with 11w6d which corresponds exactly with my dates and is one day behind my doctor's dates from my last scan. But, and this is especially pertinent to Preethi, she said they don't change the due date if measurements are within 6 days on either side of the recorded due date. Of course, that might change from country to country, but I hope that helps assure you that being 6 days off your dating scan is nothing to worry about.

Oh and my placenta is about as close to the top of my uterus as it can get.

Glad you had a great scan NDH!

 

[Dew]

NDH: Congrats, everything looked good (and cute) on your scan!!

Sarah: Friday is coming closer, I can imagine your excitement

I like Chloe too as in ChloE and not ChlO.

Any chart experts? based on my chart for this cycle, do you think my progesterone levels could be low? Today is 8dpo and CD20 so if I want to get progesterone levels checked, today is the only day to do it. So confused sorry about the rant last night, it's just that this weekend I could have had my baby shower and thoughts of that and not been able to conceive again yet throws me into a 'desperation+frustration=depression' phase. I am feeling better in the morning though thanks for your support Sarah!

NY: we couldn't go to Gooseberry Falls as DH finished his work late and we decided to drive straight back home afterwards. Still, Duluth was beautiful!

Have a great day everyone!!

Hello everyone!

Mummy, hello, are you out there?

Dew, I had conveniently just began a really hard core treadmill, weights, pilates regimen aprox 2 weeks before bfp so must not do too much harm. Maybe it helped, who knows! I think the progesterone test can tell if you have high enough progesterone after ovulation to sustain implantation and stuff but positive.......

Sarah that's a cute picture of you! I don't have pics of me young. My mom has all of them.

Ndh I am glad your scan went well and think you should post scan pics and a 12 week bump picture!

I have a doc appointment soon and can't think of anything to ask but am sure I've wondered about things in the past 5 weeks. Darn it!

 

[NDH]

Here are a couple of the scan pics - the first one is the legs.

I do my bump pics on Saturday - I'll post the next one in here.

Oh and there was just a mouse on top of our fridge! I watched it run from behind the fridge to under the stove just now. Gross! I've never seen any sign of mice in here before.

 

[nypage1981]

Haha now you need a cat.

 

[Huggles]

Great pics NDH!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Great pics NDH, thanks for that piece of advice, over her your due date changes according to measurements and they file that on the report.

lovely pics of bubs seriously !

Sarah and sheryl your baby pics are so cute ! i dont have any of mine, theyre with my mum too !

5 days till my next appointment so looking forward to it.

Ny, flying, hope you all are doing ok .

 

[sherylb]

FYI -- I posted that pic of me sitting in my grandpa's lap as my facebook profile photo and I woke up to an E-mail from my mom asking me why I am putting up a pic of her dad when everyone else is putting up a picture of their own dad. But she did like the picture. F Off Mom!!! I can put whatever picture I want! I didn't put a picture of her for Mom's day b/c I didn't feel like being a sheep.

 

[Dew]

NDH: lovely bub pictures thanks for sharing! Sorry about the mice, that would freak me out more than cockroaches. Put a trap soon!

Sheryl: sorry your mom is so critical of everything you do....I like yours and Sarah's baby pictures...you both look very cute. I don't have mine either, they are all with my parents too.

NY: good luck with doctor's appointment.
