Smiles, I think everything is going to be just fine with your little snuggle bunny. I'm so excited for you.

Sis, what a great pic, thanks so much for sharing! Such a beautiful image.

Katie, YAY for AF!! I totally KNOW that feeling. There are just some months where you just want it to come on and start already, right?! LOL

Terri, no symptoms, huh? Well, you're like me, I never have them anyway! My only symptom when I did get prego, was the fact that I finally, for once in my damn life, didnt have any brown spotting, lol!

Wish and Moni, thanks for your prayers to us B&B gals. I'll send prayers out for everyone too. Moni, the trip sounds so fab.... you have no idea how much I'd love to do something like that.

Atty, congrats on the new job!!

Hi to everyone else! I realized it was impossible to reply to everyone's posts. But I'm thinking of all of you.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes Erose everything happens for a Reason and we R blessed when the time is right!!!

So glad U R Ok that sounds scary!!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Goodness gracious ERose! That sounds terribly scary about the accident! So glad you were okay! And you are right, things do happen for reason, even if we don't understand them at the time.

Sis--Love the bean pic!! And if the doctors are saying not to be concerned about the dating, go with it. You have a little bean with a heartbeat, that is all that matters!

 

[Radkat]

I'm way too far behind to give everyone their appropriate shout outs, but I have been trying to keep up.

Unfortunately, this pregnancy is not working out. Had a scan yesterday and no heartbeat and measuring 10 days behind. Dr said she's "almost 100%" that I will miscarry. I decided to wait until my scheduled scan next week to see what happens, but I'm starting to cramp and bleed a bit, so I'd say it's starting.

I'll catch up with you all once I'm back on the TTC track, which I'm hoping will be soon.

Radkat - big I'm so sorry

 

[Sis4Us]

Oh Radkat hope things turn around for U!!!
Big

 

[moni77]

So sorry Radkat and SPP. Lots of hugs your way.

The trip was amazing and I will try to catch you all up on some highlights this weekend. It was only possible because hubby had to go for work - so we were able to go basically just for the cost of my plane ticket. definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

 

[Smiles013]

Radkat.....big so sorry you have to go through this.

Erose...glad you're okay! And you're right things happen for a reason and most times we'll never understand why but on the rare occasion when we do understand why, it's truly a blessing.

 

[Katie Potatie]

Radkat, my and prayers are with you. I'm just so very sorry you are going through this. So very sorry.

 

[terripeachy]

Radkat-Super big I am so sorry this is happening to you too. What is going on??? We were all pulling for you as well. Take your time and come back when you're ready. We'll be here. I'll say a special prayer for you and your little bean as well.

ERose-Girl!! How are you going to roll your SUV and not speak up until now?? Are you ok for real? That is so scary!

kfs1-Book of Mormon was excellent. Be forewarned, there is a lot of cursing, but it was a great show. Very funny. Most were laughing the entire time. It was educational and entertaining. I give it a

I'm off to start crock pot meal #2. Pot roast with caramelized onions. I hope it's another success!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Terri--Aha. I was waiting. Waiting patiently to watch your acclimation into crockpotting. I knew it wouldn't take long. It never does. Once you begin, you can never really turn back. You will find a way to cook things you never even considered, cooking in your crockpot. I didn't want to bust in with your very first crockpot meal and say..."You are now crossing over to the low-heat cooking side." But I saw many of your future meals unfolding at that very moment. Oh sure, there will be hits or misses with the recipes. But, you will keep going back.

Speaking of heat, what are your temps doing today?

 

[felcity 45]

Oh Radkat so very sorry - Big hugs being sent your way

Erose - Your a lucky lady, I'm a big believer in "Everything happens for a reason" Lets hope march is our month

Terri - I love my crock pot, so easy when your working and nice to come home to a hot meal.

 

[nessaw]

Radkat. Am so sorry. Big hugs.xx

 

[battyatty]

Radkat I am so very sorry, Big hugs Please look after yourself xxx

Erose Wow lady, stay safe, damn cars!

Hearing all these car stories had me thinking and I realised that my 3 worst crashes happened while I was pregnant!

With my first I was in the car with my ex driving, my mum and my grandmother. We were taking my Grandmother to the cancer hospital for her appointment and I was 8 months pregnant, as huge as a horse! We were traveling down the motorway when a car hit us on the side, at that speed we last control. Luckily my ex didnt hit anyone, but we hit loads of road cones at the side of the motorway as we came to a stop! It turned out to be a policeman that hit us, when I got out of the car the colour just drained from his face when he saw I was pregnant! There were 4 generations in that car!

With my second I was driving into work with my daughter in the front seat in her booster chair, I was 6 months pregnant. I was about to overtake when the car behind did the same! She hit the side of my car and I lost control and hit the embankment on the other side of the road...
I ended up on 2 wheels doing a James Bond down the wrong side of the road, I couldnt do anything and there was a van coming straight at us! I dont know how but the car righted its self and the van stopped and I stopped inches from each other! The van driver was in shock, said he had never seen a car tip that far and travel so far on 2 wheels and not tip completely over!

With my third pregnancy I had my second daughter in her baby seat and I was 7 months pregnant. I was leaving a car park, when a boy-racer came flying in and hit the front of my car and spun me around, he was going so fast even after hitting my car so hard it was written off, he couldnt stop for at least 150 yrds!

Needless to say I or any of my children were ever hurt! I think I had an angel watching over me each time!

 

[Fezzle]

Radkat so sorry to hear your news

ERose- how scary! Glad you're ok! And it does make you think about how things happen at certain times!

Sis- great pic, thanks for sharing! Glad all is well with you.

AFM- I have my first appointment today with my new Dr at the GP practice in my area now. My plan is to tell her I'm TTC, have her look at my history so far and see if she agrees to do a Day 21 test too for this cycle. I'm still waiting to ovulate (or hoping to ovulate!) but I'm starting to have some fertile signs now.

 

[Wish4another1]

Uhmmmm Terri.... Did you wear your wool socks to bed???? Nice temp jump I'm starting to get excited for you!!!

 

[kfs1]

Radkat - I'm so sorry for your loss.

Erose - That's so scary! Glad you're OK.

Atty - So crazy about all of those crashes. Someone was looking out for you.

Wish - Your temps are staying up, huh?

Terri!!! Nice temp jump.

Hi to everyone else!

So, I posted this on the other thread too but I had a negative test this morning. I NEVER usually test early so I'm mad at myself and bummed of course. Not that I'm completely surprised. This month just felt different and I don't entirely trust FFs o/period dates. I guess I was just hoping that it would happen fast for me since the doctor said that you're usually very fertile after a loss. It's just so exhausting!!

Anyway, I'm going to my new OB today for an annual. Hopefully she doesn't suck like my last OB who was all doom and gloom. And I booked a hotel for a craft beer and food festival that I've always wanted to go to. I figure if I end up pregnant or don't feel like drinking, I can always go and eat the food but I just felt like I needed to do something to get my mind off of everything.

 

[Sis4Us]

Kfs1 sounds good to me the Rodeo is in Full Swing here so hopefully I can get over the Livestock Smell and enjoy some yummy food!!!

Try not to be to hard on yourself like I told Erose I've seen more get PG after the body was back to norm verses after a Loss.... It will happen when that baby is ready to stick!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Wish-HA!!HA!! I got into bed with my wool socks on, but then I kicked them off. I was warm all day yesterday. I feel like my head is just sweating, but it's not. I'm a tad excited, but I'm trying to remain calm about all this. It's hard though. I'm so glad you guys are here to share my calm excitement. Your temp still looks great too. Are you taking P this time? I don't recall seeing it on your chart.

kfs1-ooOH, a food and beer festival. That sounds like a lot of fun, and yes, do nice things for yourself. You're worth it. Hubs and I are going to the Bahamas in a few short weeks. I don't care if I run out of vacation this year. I love doing things, and now I have a buddy to do them with. Of course, before I just did them on my own! hee hee. I want to go to the food and wine festival that I see on Top Chef at some point. I don't know where and when it is, but it's on my list. I also want to go to Olympics 2016. I have been trying to find/meet a Brazilian so they can be my guide and host, but apparently they aren't that common in Bmore. HA!!HA!!

Atty-Those accidents are crazy..glad you're ok. You must be part cat-9 lives. hee hee. I also laughed when you said you bought 50 OPKs and HPTs. 50?! You're starting to get like Oldermom.

Katie-You are too funny. Yes, my life is changing as we speak. I cut up onions this morning and mixed all the other stuff together. Set the crockpot for 10 hours on low and I left. Hubs says by the time he leaves for work in the morning it already smells good. It's probably driving Roxy crazy having meat cooking all day and she's stuck in her crate. I've been using the pillsbury site and there are a ton of things I want to make. The recipes don't call for a lot of ingredients either, which is pretty freaking awesome. Cost savings too.

Fezzle-I hope everything works out today with the GP and yay for fertile signs. It's about time!

 

[Wish4another1]

Terri - Yep still taking the progesterone cream - just took it off my chart when I was messing with FF because it was telling me the only reason my temps were up is because of it...which I didn't believe...but FF still wont give me crosshairs if I leave it up to them... so...
Yes excitement for you!!! I totally understand about the calm excitement... when will you test?
Edit- uhm I too bought the 50 OPKs and 50 HCG ...
kfs - I see your temps are up too... yes mine are holding steady... i don't feel any different just glad my spotting seems to have stopped (nothing yesterday) - and good luck at your appointment today!!

you girls and the car "near misses" whoa!!! I am so glad you are all ok and safe!!

fezzle - good luck today at your appointment - mine is Monday...

AFM: nothing to report... just trying to remain calm and assume everything going on with me is good ole progesterone cream... EDIT - I knew it was too good to be true - spotting is back

Have a great day Ladies - to all you who have lost your little bean... keeping you in my prayers!!
