%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

[terripeachy]

That's awesome SPP!! They sure don't! I hope you are now feeling much better/safer about everything. How did you tell your family/hubs whoever, or have you? Wish and I love the deets!

Wish-I hope so. Everyone always says that their hair and nails were so nice when they were taking prenatals. I'm not worried about my hair (ha ha), but I do hope that my nails get repaired soon.

Well Dr says everything looks Good My Lil One is starting to Form I go back 3/4 to check the Sac and see how Many but it looks like one right now!!!

Crazy thing is my Follies were on the right but my Corpus Luteum is on the left babe seems to be forming where I felt the Pinches and Pokes nite B4 my BFP!!

 

[Radkat]

Garfie - That sounds like so much fun! Rubbing elbows and all. I think that boy thought you were someone famous.

Happy Birthday to Fezzle and Sis!

Terri - Sorry the BDing didn't work out. Hope the lunch and nails were more successful! He'll have to make up for it!

Wish - Get outta here AF. On to BDing!

SPP - Congrats for a confirmation pee stick.

AFM - Got another beta # back. Kinda more of the same. Not doubling as I would like, but still going up. I did one of those calculators and it's still at doubling every 80 hours. 48-72 is more desirable. Another round of betas next week. I asked if an early ultrasound would be helpful. The nurse said the dr usually doesn't do them before 7 weeks because there isn't much to see other than a sac, but she would ask the dr.

My #s for those that are curious. She wasn't worried about P drop. Still taking the cream.
2/11 - hcg - 180; P - 37.5
2/13 - hcg - 267
2/19 - hcg - 930; P - 24.5.

Nope terri, not feeling the least bit safe . I needed their peestick for insurance purposes . You don't wanna know how many undie checks I've done today or how many times I've felt myself up to gauge my boob fluctuations .

Yay!! Excellent appt Sis .

Even more than the numbers Radkat, how do you feel doll? How far along are you now? 5w3d's? I read somewhere that I can't recall right now that progesterone can drop for a spell after eating. Grow baby grow!!

Have you seen this thread in First Tri Radkat?

[Blueshoney]

Sis-Love your baby pic!!!
Radkat-Your numbers look good to me!
Garfie-Your night sounded wonderful!!!
Terri-FX that you BD tonight!!

 

[Radkat]

SPP - I feel OK. Some cramps, but mild and not constant. Teeny bits of nausea in the afternoon and evening which is how it was with LO. I have seen that thread. Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't do bloods with LO so who knows maybe she was like that too. I've been doing the undies check too.

 

[Fezzle]

Sis- glad everything is looking good!

Radkat- glad those numbers are going up! Fx they'll keep increasing!

 

[battyatty]

Sis Thank you for posting the scan, cant wait to see the next one on the 4th of March

Garfie Sounds like a great night, but defo hide those undies!!!!

Terri I have heard that eating jelly cubes helps with growing strong nails!

Fezzle and Sis Happy Birthday!

Wish Nothing worse than wanting to get jiggy with it and you cant! Boo!

SPP I'm so glad you got your confirmation!

Radkat I am sure your numbers are growing just fine, they are going up and thats the most important thing...

AFM Eventually got DF to but too little too late lol Im not sure whats going on with this cycle..... FF has me Oing on CD9, I'm sure its more like 12?
Although on a good note, my mum has the kids for the weekend, so last night I had a romantic evening with DF (delayed Valentines, due to bad weather and lack of power!) , with a few glasses of Chianti! Naughty, naughty. But by bed time I had a terrible sore throat, then during the night my temp went way up? Hope I am not coming down with something???

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

terri I realized I only answered part of your question, doh! I was trying to figure out a creative way to tell DH but he knows my cycle too well . He's super excited though . Told the kids day before yesterday and my Littler is super excited while my Bigger says another baby will drive him crazy and ruin his life . He's still excited though even with his protests lol. Not going out of my way to tell most other people for a while, though if it's brought up we'll take each situation as it comes.

Radkat, I didn't have betas done with my boys either (didn't even know what a beta was 'til my third pregnancy/first m/c) so I wouldn't know what might be my norm either. I've chosen not to do betas this time either b/c I know it would fuel the panic/worry/fear I'm fighting so hard to manage. Hope you're feeling peaceful and connected!

atty, going just by temps I'd say CD9 as well but time will tell it! Blech, hope you're not getting sick. Sounds like a wonderful time was had with the DF though . Chianti sounds sooooo tasty .

 

[garfie]

As promised

 

[battyatty]

Garfie whit woo you worked that red carpet lady!! You look fabulous!!!

I'm just snuggled on the sofa with a huge bowl of homemade humus ( made with kidney beans, ran out of chickpeas) a bottle of beer. Just waiting for the Ireland match in the six nations against England. Hon Ireland!!!

 

[terripeachy]

garfie-You look fabulous and so happy. What a fun night...priceless!

batty-I would agree with Ffoe and say you O'd on CD9. But..if you didn't BD before then, let's say CD12. hee hee. Glad you and DF got to have a belated Valentine's date. I hope it was wonderful.

Sis-Great picture!! Keep growing little girl.

SPP-Well, at least the kids are happy and excited. A baby would ruin his life? Uh...ok. Kids are so dramatic sometimes. HA!!HA!!

AFM-My nail appointment and lunch were great, and hubs did make it up to me. Of course, I thought my temperature would jump this morning, but nada. I'm being patient. Yesterday, I felt a little odd. I was hoping it was O pain and that egg was on the move, but who knows. Today I am back to normal.

I took Roxy to the SPCA this morning to have her checked out and to return her. Thank goodness she has a little bit of a cold, so I get to keep her another week!! You can't put a dog that has green snot flying everywhere up for adoption! It's gross, but I like her, so I just have a tissue handy at all times. She was happy to see her friends at the SPCA.

I guess I'll start the March testing thread on the other side, but I'm going to try not to be so chatty over there ONLY because it is hard to keep up. No one else seems to want to do it, and I don't mind. Plus, I really should be in my TWW by now. HA!!HA!!

 

[battyatty]

Well if I take CD9 then BD is low with 3 days before and day after O. If I take CD12 then it's good accordion to FF as it only 2 days before! Oh well looks like my earliest test will be March 1st...

 

[terripeachy]

I'll add you on the other thread, and sorry, I called you batty again. It's a bad habit. hee hee.

Batty, Atty. Any, either will do lol. Think I must of been hormonal that day! Lol

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Ooooohhh, garfie! Lookie you gal! Gorgeous pic; you look like you were having so much fun .

atty our DS2 was conceived with BD from O-3 . It's totally possible so don't slim your chances unnecessarily . I'll see if I can find the stats for conception with BD 3,2, and 1 as well as day before O and O day. IIRC O-2 is best then O-3, O-1, and O day being the lowest chance.

terri I was just about to ask how your lunch and nail appt went . Glad you get to keep Roxy a bit longer, even if she is snotty .

I can totally agree with the 0-2 as that's when I got my BFP last sept. The one thing I will say and I will apologise in advance for tmi on CD9 I got the best ewcm ever, It stretched to 3 inches. Mine is usually only 1/2 inch! So who knows???

 

[felcity 45]

Garfie - Sounds ilke you had a fab night and you looked the business too. Love that picture on the red carpet.

Wish - I couldn't choose...I love ANY cake lol

Sis - So pleased your appointment went well, you can enjoy your weekend now

Atty - My mum used to say the same thing about jelly cubes, used to make me laugh as she always bites her nails!! Did you do anything different to get better EWCM this cycle?? I can't remember the last time I had decent stretch lol mine tends to be watery now, occasionally gets stretchy but not much sorry TMI

Radcat - Those numbers are on the up

Terripeachy - Roxy will be well pleased with that outcome

SPP - If I O on CD 14 and CD 12,13 and 14 but not after would I be ok and Is it worth trying today CD17?? OH Is always ready but I have been tired and grumpy since O and have spurned his advances Feel like I haven't given my self a good chance this cycle and wasted my Clomid

Really fancy a glass of tonight but being good although have lost 4lb since Monday so it's spurring me on

Hope you ladies are enjoying your weekend. x

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

terri I also meant to say omg, yessssssss to dramatic children lol. Guess how many fights I've broken up today . And then there was the simple matter of clipping my Littler's dangly pinky toenail to stop it from hurting him which almost turned epic battle, lol.

Really, sounds like you're totally in atty . I am your TWW lol.

felicity you've got excellent timing girl! You guys hit exactly where you need to so no worries about wasted Clomid, ha! BD 3 days after O isn't going to do anything for catching the egg since she's long gone but I have read that lovin' in the TWW where you, erh, get to your pinnacle as well, ahem, may help implantation . I'll have to look for where I read that. If I was feeling personally I'd skip it ;-).

And while I'm at it, here's one NEJM article I found:

as well as

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/The-Fertile-Window---Scientific-Literature-Review.html

and this American Pregnancy Association article with mention of the OV-Watch fertility monitor:

Fascinating stuff!

Gah! More fighting children, gotta run!
