On the road again graduates

Red, Piper is adorable. Love the outfit.

Topanga - I'm beginning to think that it is the temping that is keeping me from sleeping. I think I am so worried about the time I need totals my temp that I keep waking up (Which could, of course, throw off my temps)

Left my FreeT3 and FT4 were smack dab in the middle range. But, I called my endocrinologist to tell her about the period and she ordered an ultrasound of my thyroid and wanted me to redo the blood work. My TSH was .46 and hyperthyroid is anything under .4 at one point in my life I was <.001. Which was really bad.

I miss chatting with you all and I am loving hearing all about your little ones.
 
Cary its great that you have an endo who takes you seriously ! I'm waiting on a thyroid scan too !
 
Hi all! I've been temping this month and I was pleased to see that I ovulated on day 12! That is like 8 days earlier than before. I'm guessing this is a good thing! I have been drinking smoothies with chia seeds and I heard these can stretch the time between ovulation and AF (Luteal Phase???)

Guess we'll see. :thumbup:

How is everyone?
 
Cary! fingers crossed for you! i'm also drinking chia seed smoothies and adding seeds to the salads and making raw jams with them for the past three months, and i have to say my cycle did get longer, passing from 21-22 to 26-27. i didn't know about this effect of theirs and i am still keeping away from temping, so this is a really interesting piece of advice for me. OH is taking them too, so who knows!
 
I drink a smoothie with 2 tbs in it every morning... DH does as well.

I have found that I am in a good place right now. Sure, I want to be pregnant but no matter what I am happy. Life is good and gets better everyday! I guess I have PMA :happydance: A LO will of course make it better, but I am blessed and have so much to be thankful for.

The temping is cool and I find that I like learning more about it... To be sure, I was surprised when it showed that I ovulated on CD12.

:wave: to all of you ladies! Looking forward to updates
 
Hi ladies!

So I don't want to trigger anyone who's still TTCAL here, but I wanted to let you all know that I got a BFP last night!

We've been NTNP for almost a year now so it wasn't exactly a huge surprise (although I think DH felt differently!). Later when I have more time I'll have to tell you the story of how I told DH... priceless!

Anyway, it's very, very early days (AF was supposed to come over the weekend, so I'm 4 weeks), so it's all just a waiting game at this point. It's interesting. My first pregnancy I was ecstatic, then with LO I was distant and scared. This time I'm kind of both. I've had both a loss and a healthy baby, so I know both ways this can turn out.

DH and I haven't told anyone yet and I'm not in a rush. Id like to get through at least an early scan before we tell anyone, even our parents.

Just wanted to share! How is everyone else doing???
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CONGRATS!!!!! i was thinking about you yesterday!!! so so SOOOOOO happy to hear this!! can't wait to hear how you broke the news to the DH!!

awww!!! thanks for sharing this! i really had a hard week behind me and news like these always lift me up!

and no wonder you've got mixed feelings of excitement and detachment. i kinda think we're not really done with this journey from the day of our first BFP to the day our last child is born, and every time the new BFP comes, it holds ALL of it in, the entire journey, all of the excitements and losses and joy and grief count.

:hugs: :hugs: :hugs: super sticky dust your way!
 
Topanga ! Yipeee congratulations I'm super excited for you :) I too cannot wait to hear how you broke the news to DH lol..... He sounds like he needed to be picked up from the floor ;) lol
I so hope it all works out for you , ill be following closely for updates on your new journey :)
 
Thanks ladies!!!

So here's the whole story:

AF was due anytime from Fri-Sun, so on Sun when it hadn't come and we were grocery shopping, I picked up some tests. DH noticed and asked if I thought I was pregnant and I said I didn't know. That was it.

Fast forward- we get home and DH goes to take a nap. I take a test and its BFP. I was honestly surprised because I'm just SO USED to BFNs after all these years. I felt pregnant, but I've been wrong before so I don't trust myself anymore.

I had the test in my pocket and was feeding LO some applesauce when DH came downstairs.

Me: I think we're going to need more applesauce.
DH: Another one? (Which he meant, does LO want another container of applesauce)
Me: yes, quite literally another one.

And I handed him the test.

LOL he just looked at it and then walked away, so I was honestly worried he was upset. But then he came back and was like, "ok, this is good!" He said later it just completely came out of nowhere for him. I reminded him that he'd seen me buy the tests that day, but he said I'd bought so many of the years and they were almost always negative, so he didn't think twice of it lol.

So anyway, the whole "another one?" Comment just tickles my funny bone!

I called my doctor today and scheduled an early ultrasound for mid-May, so we'll see.
 
hahahahha lol! another one??? YES!!!

i think the english word for your OH's state is astound :D :D :D

sooo sweet!

oh and you sooo nail it with "i'm so used to BFNs" - no better way to describe it! i think when my BFP comes i'll doubt it is real for a good while.
 
Topanga!!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Im so happy for you :-)

What an absolutely adorable way to tell DH
Looking forward to following your journey for number two :-)

So many questions!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks Ladies... I simply could not be happier... Or more nauseous..:haha:

Well... We've been trying since July 2010. We had that one miscarriage November 2012 and then I have convinced myself that I was pregnant sooooooo many times!!!!! In January I was 10 days late but every test was negative. So... Come to March 27th. I get a period, but a very light one. After that I decided to go back to temping. I have to say that I've been drinking chia seed shakes since February. So I ovulated like 8 days earlier than I used to. My temps stayed VERY VERY high. So, I kinda wondered. But during this time I have also been fighting bronchitis.

I was supposed to get AF sometime between April 23-26. She never came and my BB's were sore but that has happened in the past. I was actually afraid to test.

I went to the allergist on Thursday because I think the allergies have been causing me to get sick. While I'm reading the paperwork I see that you can't get skin testing if you're pregnant. I decided to take the test Thursday morning just to be sure. It came up immediately!!! So... DH is at work and I'm with my mom and sister. (I took the day off to go to the dr and spend time with my fam) So I wanted to surprise DH. We had planned a date night for last night. I tried to get him to switch it to Thursday night and he wouldn't budge. So I had to keep it a secret for like 36 hours!!!!!!!

Last night DH and I had a date night. We have this little beach that is like an hour from us. That was the first place that I told him I loved him. That is where he asked me to marry him. So what better place to tell him that we're expecting.

We went out to dinner and then headed to the beach. DH loves candy. So I had taken a onesie that says "I Love Dad" and wrapped it in an M&M box. We sat on a bench and I told him to open the present. He was suspicious about why I was giving him a present and he told me it wasn't fair because he didn't know to get me anything. I told him it was just because.

I taped him opening it and he pulls out the onesie and just looks at it. He was in shock!!!! Then he looks at the camera and says, "Are you pregnant?" I was like "Uh huh"... He got a little teary eyed but hid it because we were in public... That's my DH... (I bought that onesie September 2013. I've had it for a long time!)

So we watched the sunset and as the sun set we saw three dolphins in the water!!!! So beautiful!!!

My mom lives with us. So when we got home I had to pee for like the millionth time. My mom had been out and when she got home she went to her room. So, my husband came out in the living room with the onesie on his chest. I walk out of our room and asked my mom how dinner was. She came out into the living room and we taped her looking at the onesie!!! It was priceless... She was screaming and crying...

What an amazing night. I am 5 wks and according to ovulation due around December 30th. According to LMP I am due around January 1st. My first appointment/ultra sound is May 18th.

Just this week I've started feeling nauseous. I keep feeling like if I eat I will feel better. I eat and then I feel sick. It seems to be an all day feeling, without throwing up. My BB's are sore and tons of veins!!! I have a lot of pulling pains in my uterus and they happen on both sides and in the middle.. not sure about those but I feel them like 10-15 times a day.

I'm staying in a positive place. After the miscarriage I prayed and asked God to not let me get pregnant again until I was going to make it all the way through. So, I believe this is it. It has taken us 2 years 5 months to get pregnant again...but I believe this is our sticky rainbows!!!! We are all on :cloud9: here....

:happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:
 
i just bawled my eyes out :haha:

:cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:

you deserve that gift so much <3 <3 <3 and what a perfect place to break the news! and congrats on resisting for those 36 hours!!!
