Please, August, do not taunt- it's BFPs that we want!

Morgan sorry it took me awhile. I've been out and about hunting everything ginger....the fact that you have a sonolucent mass means there's something. ESP because the gestational sac and yolk sack have a white ring around then a clear middle. That's what it looks like on my scans. And I didn't have an early scan but you can still see it. I don't know the normal size but I know that last week the baby was bigger than the yolk sac at 3.9mm. 7mm seems large for as far along as you are but again I have no idea the normal size of it at 5 weeks

Oops eta the yolk sac has the ring the gestational sac is the larger clear one.

we've talked about adoption and DH is open but would like for us to try everything within our mental/financial capacity first / in addition to adoption.

I'm kidding... partly. I just feel so beaten down and exhausted and I haven't even really started... you know? We've only been going 'natural'... no clomid, no injections and prodding and assessments... I already feel like a big fat failure I'm not sure how I'm going to feel after that.

it was the nurse at my gyno doc. Back in Feb I had the cyst and she said no TTC until thyroids were fine, but then saw a fertility specialist to get opinion and he said if thyroid was high it was not ideal but not a risk to the baby and if we wanted to keep BDing sans protection then to go for it. I didn't go back to my gyn between now and then but since then I got the clear from the endo doc that thyroid was fine...

but try explaining that in 10 seconds or less to a nurse who is looking at your patient notes and has decided to be judgmental.

She was like...."what are you doing? the doctor told you not to do any trying until she said so"... I wanted to burst into tears ...

and then she said "well WHAT is your problem then?" when i told her I wanted to know if i should get any tests done before I saw the gyn on tuesday.... I was so upset when I got off the phone.

THEN she said, "well if you are so worried why are you waiting until Tuesday?" (valid question but again, not delivered very empathetically) and I had to explain my work schedule that is not very flexible given I've just started a new job and the schedule is fairly brutal...

I used the term "I'm really anxious" and "I don't know what is going on" about five times to no effect.

So... adoption?

Wow she sounds like a bitch. Don't worry about her hun, if you already got the okay by other doctors then its fine you're trying. She's the idiot because she's judging even though she doesn't know all the info. Don't give up yet. Obviously adoption is still a wonderful option because there are so many children that need loving parents but I don't think you should give up on having your own yet

I am sorry you feel that way. We are going natural as well. You are not a failure!!

got busy at work so i haven't had a chance to go get a test. i did go pee and checked my CM-- it was lotiony but watery.

 

[frsttimemama]

If I had more tests I may have caved already but I only have one, and I don't want to waste it.

Thanks everyone! Glad my bean cooperated for his/her photo shoot...the RE said to come back in 2 weeks but I have my first OB appt in 2 weeks so he turned me loose unless I have any issues. He reassured me that things looked very good and that my biggest hurdle was getting thru last week. And that every week my chance of miscarriage decreases. Ahh 4.5 weeks to go...then my 12 week wait starts again.

Sandy - I'm thinking IB!!! I got my bfp 5 days after cramping. But I didn't test before so who knows if it would have been earlier. I think they say 3-5 days after implantation.

Amanda - congrats on DHs job offer! That's awesome that they offer a bonus!! And you should just POAS already.

Katrina - I'm stoked for you to test.

Ashlee - have you used an frer yet?

Oh and haha I ovulated on my left side too.

Amelia - you seem sooooo stressed out. Maybe that's why AF is late? Hopefully you are preggo and its just a sneaky bfp but if not ill bet its from stress. Before TTC I completely missed a period right before our wedding. I went to my pcp and she did an hcg and just blamed it on stress. Sorry that nurse was so nasty. That's pretty rude and sounds uncalled for.

Brunette - I only got breast pain after O....it was always my confirmation that I O'd. This bfp cycle though I didn't get it until a day or two before my bfp.

Not yet, I was going to wait and test with FRER Friday or Saturday...but my willpower is decreasing lol

 

[TTCaWee1]

Btw your chart looks amazing!!

 

[VivianJean]

Just checked CM again and got red, bright horrid red.

not enough to call it AF but still... not a great sign.

not enough for the nurse to call it "flow" and re-start my cycle yet either.

Maybe it is stress. I've felt really depressed and I should be happy - new awesome job, saving for a house. IDK. I feel like I'm always paddling just keeping my head above water.

Thanks everyone for helping me out. I feel bad bringing down the vibe... but you all have no idea how good and safe it has been for me to be able to share with you when I can't get DH on the line, which often happens with the time difference...

Gosh, I hope so! Soooo maybe I will test Friday morning. That will be 3 days from yesterday when I had the first bit of bleeding. Friday was lucky for me last time around. Plus hubby will be home, too.

 

[asmcsm]

Btw your chart looks amazing!!

Thank you! Really hoping those temps decide to stay up!

Amelia- don't worry about it. Believe me, every one of us has had our turn being super negative and pessimistic, some like myself, do it more often than others lol. But no one here judges and you can rant and rave to get all that negative energy out otherwise it just gets worse. Sorry to hear that you're getting some spotting. But if it is AF at least you're not in limbo anymore and you can get started with your next cycle instead of feeling like something's broken. My last cycle lasted 45 days and I was miserable because bfp and AF were both nowhere in sight. It gets better

 

[VivianJean]

Until I found you guys I only had a (rather annoying and entitled) younger brother... Now I feel like I have a bunch of sisters!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Sooo excited to see everyone's test...1...2....3....FRER everyone!!!

Rachel- your scan made me sooooo excited for mine!! I will be 7+1 so it should look pretty similar which will already put us farther ahead then we got last time! Eeek. One week and one day to goo!! And what do you mean 12 more weeks wait after that?? Viability??

Amelia- I'm so sorry you're still feeling down hun, fx'd everything gets straightened out soon. I can't believe that nurse was so rude to you, I'd be calling back and letting that woman know exactly what I think of her!

AFM, I'll do my 6 week pic tomorrow morning! I've been feeling good physically but my hormones are all over the place. Poor DH has been getting nailed pretty good, I find myself nitpicking everything he does. DH is well aware him breathing is like annoying to me. I read that it's pretty common to feel that way while you're adjusting to the hormones, boy do I hope so!! It doesnt help that his friend from down South has been staying with us for a week (leaves tonight). We are going away again this weekend (without our nephew, thank goodness!) so I'm really looking forward to some bonding time!

You do not bring down the vibe we all have those days were we feel like it will never happen. Trust me sometimes it feels almost unmanageable but ttc I think is made to drive us crazy!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Have we heard from Sonia today??
