*** Positive Mental Attitude TTC - Anyone joining us? ***

Having all sorts of symptoms way to early.....not sure if it is because of femara.......had increased smell at 3dpo. Very hungry and thirsty. Now at 5dpo had tender breast that are fuller. Even DH. Noticed the boobies.
 
Hi everyone

MIA again due to a trip to see the parents this weekend. I love seeing them and nearly cried when it was time to go! PG hormones probably but I do miss them :(

Discoria - great to hear from you, though sorry you've been so ill! Sounds like it was pretty bad, poor you :hugs: But your symptoms sound promising, I have got fingers, arms, toes and legs crossed for you! The last few days of the 2WW are the worst, they go the slowest! FX AF stays the hell away tomorrow! x

lilesmom, good luck for your hospital appointment today :hugs: Totally normal to be scared before one. I booked my 16 week appointment and I just don't want to go in case it's bad news! It is scary. But sending you lots of happy, healthy vibes and hope to hear all is fine when you get back x

babybemine I have no idea about femara but clomid def gave me more symptoms in the 2ww. Hope it's not just a cruel trick xx

AFM I am 14 weeks today. Can't believe it. It sounds really silly but there's still a part of me that just doesn't believe it's real. I'm getting a little worried actually that I'll just never develop that 'bond'. With my others I felt pg immediately but I suppose because of the bad experiences my brain is just not letting me get too attached. We haven't told any friends yet and we agreed we'd start telling them once I was in the 2nd tri, but I don't want to! I quite like it being a little secret, being silly and superstitious but I worry that once we tell people something will go wrong :wacko: Being so silly I know but I can't help it! :D xx
 
Smiler, you are in your 2nd tri.. woo hoo!!! I know about being scared to tell anyone as I would probably be the same but youre doing so well. This IS your rainbow baby and I hope as time passes you are able to enjoy this pregnancy more and more and your bond gets stronger :)

Babybemine & discoria, keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies! Come on :bfp:

Lilesmom, hope you and bub are doing well.

:wave: to anyone Ive missed and daily :dust: to you all!
 
Im really rootin gfor you hun! For all of us.. 2013 is suppose to be a lucky year so keeping my fingers crossed!

Oh and the crying after seeing your parents... I know that all too well. I cry everytime I have to leave my parents. They def work your las nerve when you are around them but I hate to say goodbye :( Glad you had a nice visit with them :)
 
babybemine, i had symptoms really early this time, i was gassy a few days past Ov and last time with lile i had no gas at all, i too thought it was way too early for symptoms but i had no femara to blame, i thought maybe touch of bug :) but it wasnt thank god.
fx for u hon, hope its bfp xxxxxxxxx

smiler glad u got to visit ur parents, sorry its hard to leave again though xxxxxxx

amy how u doin hon? xxxxxx

hi and hugs to all x
 
Doing ok... still got af and she is going strong. I start Clomid tomorrow and am curious to see what 100mg does. I know that Smiler got her :bfp: when she was put on 100mg so Im hoping that I have the same luck. Im also hoping that I O from the left again seeing as how they were questioning what was going on with my right tube. FS said that everything was fine and PA said that it was missing or blocked or something so who knows.
 
Hey all MIA again. So busy I can't tell you!!! I work in a school and if you're in Uk we had Ofsted! It went fine but one of most stressful ever!! I've been through 3 but this one was bad! I think as I'm on leadership team it's quite stressful so wasn't getting home till 10:30pm then back at 7am nxt day-knackering! Then in London for weekend then building work began today-really exciting but so many decisions to make!!!! We have a kitchen to sort yet as well! Exciting but of so tiring thank god I'm on school hols this week.

Smiler I didn't tell some ppl till now! And I'm 24w4d!!! I've seen my hairdresser several times but only told her yest! You tell them when your ready. When you've been through mc I don't think you want the usual big announcement that ppl who haven't do-it's different.

Babybemine and withlovemom crossing everything and sending baby dust it's your time soon. Mommyluv thinking of you!!!

Discoria thinking of you today sweetie and fx x x x I ordered a bugaboo chameleon but then I saw an iCandy strawberry that I like but we've put a deposite down on bugaboo (iCandy in diff shop) daren't tell hubby I'm not sure he'd be so mad and inline he'll say tough! Oh well! x

Lilesmom you'll be fine I know you will. I have a midwife app today and I'm still nervousr. If I don't feel bubba kick for a bit I get so worried I have to go get my Doppler out just to listen to hb. I felt so much better when I reached viability day it's like this invisible line you've crossed like 12 week scan!

Anyway big hugs always reading and always thinking of you x x xx
 
mommylov FX that 100mg is your lucky dose too. I couldn't beleive the difference just the extra 50mg made. When I was only on 50mg, I didn't ov til CD31, which isn't much better than normal. Then on 100mg, I ov'd CD16 each time. PMA, PMA, PMA xxxxx

lilesmom so glad your appt went well :) And whilst it's not great to be high risk, at least you're doing well enough to only need to see them every few weeks, that is good :) My midwife said I had to be put in high risk too, but that's only because I have PCOS. They'll test me for gestational diabetes in a couple of months' time. If it turns out fine then maybe I won't be high risk anymore, I don't know. My 16 week appt is on the day I turn 16 weeks, but that was just luck :) My 20 week scan is actually in my 21st week. I also have to see a consultant at that appointment but not really sure why!

Hopeful argh, the dreaded Ofsted! I work in educational publishing so although I've never been through it, I know what a big thing it is. A few of my friends are teachers too and never hear any enthusiasm for the visits, haha. How long til you get their feedback? Or do they tell you straight away?
 
mommylov fx for u for this cycle hon xxxx come on clomid, eggy and sperm , do ur thang :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hopeful wow u have been busy :) xx
im in ireland, is that like school inspection? my sis is secondary school teacher here and i know when they r on, its mental .
woohoo building, good to be doin it now and lovely when its all done for u xxx :)
yeah V day is def an extra relief :) im grand most days , its only day before app i go a bit funny again :) now they saw bub kicking away im grand, i actually saw and felt kick at same time while she scanned :) was cool :)

smiler u may not even see consultant, i have had 2 apps to see my cons and both times i just saw docs. im fine with just seeing docs, in ireland on public u usually only have contact with consultant if something is iffy so im glad :) hee hee.
yeah im only high risk cos of my liver to keep an eye but im pretty confident it will be fine cos its gettin better all the time. i feel much healthier anyway, i have no trouble walking an hour now, think i am gettin fitter :) if i wasnt preg i would def have lost weight. for now il content myself with not gaining much, afterwards i can lose it :)
im being tested for diabetes next mon, i really dont think i wil have it though cos i dont feel ill at all or weak or extra thirsty or any of the symptoms. i knwo it can be asymptomatic too so u never know. but im hoping god reckons i have enough to deal with ha ha :)

my friend just told me she was told (rumour i know but hoping its true :) ), that a redundnacy package is coming out tomor for public servants here, i so hope its true and im in it, my back and allergies are miles better when im not working there, i would miss out on my mat pay but would be worth it to pay off my loan and be free of a plac eim always sick and sore in when working :) so fx :)
i hope im not gettin a bit excited for a crappy rumour ;)
 
my OH is making shelves in our room and bubs, so when they r done i can properly start to sort bubs room :) hurray :)
be so nice to see it begining to look like a babys room :)
at mo it has lots of our spare stuff in it and bubs stuff is all in a corner of our sitting room :) im all excited :)
cant do everything cos we still dont know for sure if boy or girl but it means i can tidy our stuff out, sort out stuff we do have for bub and start it being made to look a little like a babys room excting :)
 
Thanks Girls!

Smiler, Funny thing is I ovulate just fine I think its just weak. Since my progesterone levels are always on the lower side at 7dpo bloodwork. Also, my follicles werent as big as she wanted them to be. They were "big enough" but once again, was borderline. Progesterone - borderline, follicle size-borderline, unterine lining - borderline... etc. So hoping that upping the dose will give me bigger follies and help everything else too. I so badly want to be pregnant already... kind of feeling left in the dust here with everyone around me getting pregnant and having thier little ones :(

Laura, aww how exciting you and OH are getting bubs room together! I cant believe how fast time has gone by. He will be here before we know it :)

:wave: to everyone!
 
lilesMom How exciting to be starting the decorations. Hopefully the work thing is not a rumour.

Hopeful335: Take the time to relax after what sounds like a busy week and enjoy your holidays.

mommylov: Good luck with the Clomid increase. Hope the side effects are minnimum for you.

Smiler82: How are you feeling? How is little wee baby treating you?
 
Thank hun. How are you feeling? 7dpo yay! When are you going to start testing?

The Clomid wasnt bad for me last cycle. The only thing that I really noticed was I had hot flashes :oops: so hopefully the symptoms stay to a min again this time. :)
 
amy thanks honey, u wil be with us too before u know it xxxxxxxx
its def ur turn super soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

babybemine thanks hon :) fx for u for bfp in a few days xxxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxx

Was tired and crampy yesterday. Not as hungry anymore. Slight achey feeling in tummy. Hoping it is a good thing. Trying to stay positive and whenever I get stressed I close my eyes and take some deep breaths.
 
Argh Mommylov how frustrating for everything to be borderline...but hopefully it means you just need a tiny extra help from the clomid and things will be fine. So sorry you feel like you're being left behind :hugs: I know that feeling all too well. Just gotta stick with the PMA and keep telling yourself it WILL be your turn soon. I don't know if you read all our convos before about meditation? I did some in the 2-3 months before I got pregnant and I really think it helped. Maybe worth a try?

babybemine deep breaths TOTALLY work! DH makes me do them when I get stressy (which is often, and not just about pregnancy things) and it's great. FX for you. Which day are you going to test?

I'm doing alright ta, was really sick yesterday though. So strange how I start a new week and have a day of being sick, then it goes away. Really tired now too as I've been out in town and walking lots - lilesmom you would laugh at me so much, you with your hour long walks :) I'm going to start swimming tomorrow, really need to get some exercise and get the muscles moving. Quite looking forward to it actually!

Hope everyone is doing ok today xxx
 
Thanks Smiler :hugs: Im so so soooo happy for everyone here that is pregnant. We have all hgad our fair share of heartache when ttc and its just so inspiring to see so many of you go through what Ive been through and are pregnant or just had babies. I would be lying if I said that I didnt ache though as I do. I sometimes get scared that something happened during the D&C or pregnancies that are making it difficult for me to not only get pregnant now but to also grow a healthy bean. I do have an unexplained amount of PMA thinking for this cycle. I dont know if its me having faith in these meds or just getting my hopes up but Ill just go with it for now! :) Thanks to a lot of the women I have *met* on here, I am still able to continue down this ttc journey. I wouldve thrown in the towel long ago :( I didnt read about the meditation but I know that Lilesmom has done it too and Im a big fan of whatever gets us to our "happy place". I have been walking when I get home from work. Just plug in headphones and go for about 2-3 miles. I want to get into the habit of doing that every other night if not every night so that I can be more healthy and continue during pregnancy. :) Thanks again for your kind words... youre a doll :hugs:

Babybemine, your symptoms sound promising but I too TRY and relax so that we dont stress too much. Your rainbow is coming :)

Laura, how are you doing hun? Did oh finish the shevles in bubs room?

:wave: to everyone and HEAPS of PMA and :dust: to everyone!
