Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[MrsPTTC]

Yes hun, I agree. And how long would it take them to find some spermies? You could waste a lot of time, time you could be spending starting your family x

 

[deafgal01]

The whole process seems quick but hard cuz of recovery time- dh needed no sex for 2 weeks after the biopsy (but it is a 3 months healing process for everything to fully heal). Seems too invasive. Plus they'd have to do ivf to implant embryo in me. I want the least invasive procedure first. Think once my dr refers us, it will not be long before we are looking at donors and picking the sperms we want to purchase.

 

[MrsPTTC]

That's great news hun, so looking forward to that day you announce your BFP, you've been waiting so long! x

 

[deafgal01]

Way too long if you ask me. I'll probably be emotional when I get the bfp as it might be the first and last time I get to be pregnant unless we decide to repeat same process for a second child.

 

[MrsPTTC]

How long you been TTC now DG?

Well just found out my friend (the one I complained about 9 months ago fell pg the first month trying!) has had her baby girl - Lucy. She had a home birth, which you rarely hear of these days. I am very tempted myself, she had an easy 4 hour labour in a birthing pool, but I don't think I could get over the risks . She was 8lb 11 now if you saw the size/frame of my friend that is huge! They do say that bigger babies are easier to push out (as long as they're not whoppers lol) I'm so chuffed for her. I would be really emotional if I wasn't pg myself, and all this baby talk I'm so tempted to tell her - but my lips are sealed, too many people know already! x

I would have gone for a water birth next time but after my ordeal with Harry and the haemoraging i won't just in case it happens again. However a home birth sounds great, if nothing goes wrong

It won't be long now dg

 

[deafgal01]

MrsP- I started in Dec 2010 officially so that makes it 1 year and going on 8 months now.

home birth sounds good to me. I hate hospitals- I've gotten better at the idea of going in one lately but still don't like the idea of having to go to any hospitals for anything. Tell me the two don't mix- babies and hospitals. I doubt I can have a home birth though... Maybe I'll just labor at home and well, ops waited too long to go to hospital.

MrsP- what are the risks with home birth for you anyways?

 

[MrsPTTC]

Just general risks DG, more risky for mother & baby not being in a hospital if anything goes wrong. I don't mean I'm at any extra risk. My friend did say they had an ambulance on standby though. I read some countries have banned home births! In fact I think a state in the US has, though I might be wrong. I just think it would be fab, but not sure its for me. Rach, actually I found out my friend lost so much blood when she delivered the placenta she fainted twice & had to go to hospital & stay overnight but the birth was still easy so I'm sure she'd do it all over again!

It gets very frustrating as you near the 2 year mark DG, but luckily managed to get there before it. Would've been 2 years on Sept 2nd for us. Hopefully if you get the donor sperm rolling then you too will get your BFP before December!

[deafgal01]

MrsP- if I can, I'd like to try to have the baby in end of spring (April/May) so that I'd have the whole summer off with baby rather than use up the 6 weeks possible for maternity before I gotta go back to work. This means I would have to plan on getting pregnant around July to September. Before we try for a baby with donor, we'd like to go on a "vacation" so I guess that's the other thing to figure out- it's hard to find time during school year when we both have time scheduled off so it's just easier to do that type of thing in summer when we have more "time" off. Plus not to mention, we still have to look thru the bank at the possible donors to pick from. Some ladies have said it took them a few months to decide on one- not because that there was so many to choose from, but because most of these donors didn't have what they were lookin' for. So I'd not be surprised to pass the 2 years mark if that happens to me.

 

[30mummyof1]

Yes same as your friend for me mrsp, easy birth just complications after and i would hate it more to be at home and have to go to hospital after than just be there in the first place, but of course its up to the woman what they think they'd prefer

Our bathroom is being started today at long last Hope it doesn't take too long, as the disruption is hard with kiddies!

 

[KendraNoell]

Sorry everyone, we moved on the 1st and its just been hectic since then! It's so nice to have a room for Jackson and last night was the first night he slept in his play and pack instead of in the room with us! Wasn't his best night, he woke up at 2 and 5, but at least it wasn't every 2 hours. We are getting a crib soon but we have to finish unpacking the rest of the boxes so that we can put the play and pack in the dining room and then have room in his bedroom for the crib. But I love having a house, and not having to go up and down a flight of stairs multiple times a day!

Jackson has now figured out sort of how to grab things, but definitely bat at things! It's keeping him occupied which is what has allowed me to jump on here and say hello!

Claire don't feel bad I thought I was pregnant last week too! I was three days late and I was talking to my babysitter and she said, have you been on antibiotics this month? And I thought, OH MY GOD! I had taken some a couple weeks ago because I had a sinus infection. I was scared out of my mind!!!! But AF showed up just a few days late I was thinking oh God I am going to have two kids less than a year apart! Ugh that was a wake up call LOL

 

[deafgal01]

Yay 30- hope it does not take long.

Kendra- welcome back. Yay for moving to a better place.

 

[MrsPTTC]

DG I hope the timing works out for you!

Rach, nothing nicer than a new bathroom or kitchen we are still battling the water board for our kitchen extension. They came out & had a meeting with DH yesterday, things are looking positive, sounds like they've lost some paperwork which tells then what we can & can't build on in the garden!

Kendra how lovely you having your own house & Jackson his own room. Can't believe you had a pregnancy scare aswell ha ha

[30mummyof1]

Yes i agree mrsp, although it's taking its time or maybe i'm just inpatient! I want everything yesterday!

How is everyone doing? This weather is seriously doing my head in, we had some sun yesterday but back to rain today. Hope it picks up by Thomas's birthday

 

[KendraNoell]

we're about to get some seriously hot temperatures here in Washington State, and its been very very humid. The mornings are cold and its so wet in the air there is condensation everywhere. Then it heats up and its so gross outside we don't have an indoor a/c unit and Jackson does NOT like the heat like mommy and daddy so we've been scrambling to find a used unit that someone might be getting rid of.

 

[asibling4gi04]

SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON! MRSPTTC, CONGRATS! AFTER A MUCH NEEDED BREAK, I AM BACK BUT NOT SURE ABOUT WHY.. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE MORE SHOT...I MISS MY GIRLS! HOW IS EVERYONE?

 

[30mummyof1]

as, so nice to see you back

ooo one more shot, gotta be worth a try...?! :wink: How's things with you and your oh now?

 

[MrsPTTC]

AS!! so so pleased you're back! we've all missed you! I was thinking, can your OH not carry the baby instead? Or use a donor egg? (just in case age is causing the problems) or of course give it another bash yourself! did they do any tests after your other mc's?

So I had my scan today, will post pic when on the laptop. My mam came with me as DH couldn't go, she was over the moon. It looks more like a baby now, heart beat seen again, measuring 9 weeks 2 days so it looks like at the dating scan they'll put my EDD back 3 days to march 18th. So excited for 12 week scan so I can blab to everyone!

[deafgal01]

As- so glad you're back. We've missed you in here.

MrsP- I love scans. Can't wait til you reach 12 weeks. Any idea how you're gonna "break the news" to the world?

Kendra- sucks about the weather getting humid and hot. It's been cooling off over here finally.

30- How are the boys? Any fun weekend plans?

I'm ok. I have my ups and downs. Just vented in my journal this morning.

 

[30mummyof1]

dg, just looked at your journal, can totally understand where you are coming from, and even when you think you've made your mind up its natural to question whether its right or not. i am terrible at making one decision and would constantly be thinking it over. Take your time you're young, to make the right decison for you and Zach.

Boys are good thanks, everyone comments on how smiley and happy Harry is which is lovely to hear. Thomas is just learning more and more each day, he makes me laugh so much with what his says and does! Remember i said we are having a new bathroom fitted, well there's no toilet at the mo so he was trying to direct his winkie up the pipe thats coming out of the wall!
No plans really for weekend, as next few weekends are going to be pretty full on
