Nicole-how have you not tested yet??? Heehee..
I have seen where implantation can occur early so maybe those temps staying up is a bean! So hopeful for you hun!!!

Beth- I am praying everyday for you as well as Andi and Nicole! Would love to our turn come for 2013!!!

I hope beyond hope this Soy "bean" stickd like glue.. So far day 2 of nausea, and gagging at the smell of eggs and stirfry.. Not pleasant.. 3 wks and 4 days.. Each week that passes will bring me closer to this sticking.. Friday, I'm calling Dr. Edwards.. He didn't think the soy would do a whole lot.. Neither did I considering I bled for 11 f'ing days.. Maybe that was the clean out I needed..

Andi- I love how the rooms look.. You can come do mine if you want.. Lol..

Love ya'll.. Be back soon.. Going to eat my popcorn cake and drink some sprite..

I think ruptured cysts can cause positive results. I've never had this happen personally but I'm sure one of the other girls can clarify that....but I'm hoping it means that your PG... you can get positive OPK if your Pg. I still get positive OPK and I"m 6 months....so...

Well had a DR appt yesterday. Doctor said that I"m measuring big. Fundal height is about 2 inches above my belly button. He asked again how big Matty was at birth and he said this one might be bigger. Damn. I was hoping for smaller so that my chances of a VBAC were better...but I have been having some pain in the pelvic area around the 'mound' so I'm hoping that means that this time, my pelvis is actually starting to move apart in preparation. He very Pro VBAC so here's hoping he's at the hospital when I go into labor. I asked him about the weight gain, since before I got pregnant I've lost 7lbs. He said that I"m probably not eating enough. the baby will take what it needs and whatever's left will be for me and if there isn't enough left for me then I'll end up losing weight. He's not overly concerned but he just doesn't want to see me lose any more next month. God, that wasn't something I expected to hear.

He found hte heart beat easily this time too so I"m glad. Have to go for the glucose test this week...I don't mind the taste I just hate the wait.

So For Matty's Bday he got a powerwheel jeep. He's still getting used to the whole pedal and Steering thing so I spent a great deal of time yesterday pulling that stupid thing off of people's lawns and gardens...think I pulled something in my groin. I'm sure it won't take long for him but I'll let Josh teach him. I just don't have hte power right now to keep doing that lifting....but we but the jeep in the garage and took out his bike instead and he's getting better using those pedals, besides the minor freakout when he gets frustrated. My little boy is growing up. I only have year left with him before he goes off to school.

Steph, I really hope this is it for you. Praying for a sticky bean! I'm still breaking out now...mostly on my chin though.

I"m also getting exhausted more easily...welcome to the start of third trimester.

On Friday (Matty's actual birthday) We're taking him to the CNE. going to make it a tradition for his birthday. I think he'll have a good time but we're bring the big stroller so we have storage as well as a place where matty can lay down if he gets tired.

Hope everyone is doing good.

Sometimes when you have a GOOD surge you can get positives for a week or so at a time! I had those when I was O'ing good on my own! Just hang in there and make sure you did BD The 1st, 3 days are the most important on those tests PRAYING you get a

Mandy--I measured bigger with Adrian than I did with Wes..Wes was 6 lbs 15 oz, and when I was pg with Adrian the doctor looked at me and said "this one will be 2-3 lbs heavier"..I thought she was crazy..I was only 7 lbs 14 oz and Jason was a 6lber to.. Adrian weighed in at 8lbs 9.3 oz and was only 19 1/2 inches long where as Wes was almost 22 inches long..LOL.. I can only imagine how big our sticky bean will be if he or she makes it to delivery! Sounds like Matty had a great birthday!! I bet he really was happy with the jeep!

Andi--how are you feeling hun? I keep praying for you, Beth and Nicole! I so want to see ya'll with s before the end of this year!! If I could share my eggs with ya'll I would! Seems I have no problem getting pg, just staying that way.. Going to try and remain positive but it's hard.. Wish we could just trade body parts that aren't working right somewhere--Who knows maybe in the future we'll be able to do just that! LOL..

As far as the acne goes--Not liking it all... My face is like an oil slick..GROSS...

Have to meet with the boss at 12:30-1:30... I hate having to give up an hour of my 2 1/2 hour lunch to go over shit that doesn't really apply to me to begin with..

Lots of luv!

I should know MORE about our home study tomorrow they were supposed to have bumped us up on the list since we are "child specific" adoption but THEY DIDNT....so if the grandma gets hers done I duno if they will even wait on us to get ours done. They are trying to push it through they have a meeting tomorrow just mainly for our specific case. I can't wait to find out whats gonna happen. I hope you ladies all have a good day We aren't TTC this cycle....so I doubt it'll happen. I'm done TTC I'm done with anything TTC related but I will watch you lovely ladies get your babies ...makes me happy to see others get their especially you ladies I've been trying with forever. Plus the first group of my friends who are all on their 2nd and 3rd babies since I've been on this website I hope you all have a lovely day will update tomorrow when I know something. Going to be babysitting the neighbors little girl today so we shall see how that goes. I will update tomorrow on our situation lots of love to you all!

 

[armymama2012]

Well the reason I havent tested yet is because last week I hid my Wondfos somewhere so I wouldnt test early and now I cant find them! Ack, they are probably somewhere in my bedroom seeing as i turned the bathroom upside down looking for them this morning. Seeing the dr. next Thursday about the cyst, if AF hasnt arrived (due on Monday) then I'll ask him to do a quantitative pg test (never asked before, how do you go about it?).

 

[waiting2012]

Good Luck Andi! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for ya hun!! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Nicole--I would just ask for a blood test to see if your pregnant.. If your doctor is a good one, they shouldn't give you any flack for asking for it! Can't wait hun!! Hope its a BIG OLE ++++ for you!

 

[calebsmom06]

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been on lately I've been so busy between baby wife duties and baby but I love it! So any bfp's? Is that one for u steph? I have a concern, how long after having a baby should u start your period, I've been waiting impatiently and still nothing, its been 8 weeks since he was born. With caleb I start back to regular periods rght away. I will get on again tonight and update/read more. Its difficult from my phone

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Hey everyone...I have a HUGE announcement. We have TALKED A LOT about the whole adoption thing...and I just don't think that its for us. I just can't bring myself to accept it so I'm pulling out of it as soon as the lady calls me back which she should have today. I think we are going to try to get our bills under control and see what happens. I appreciate all of your support ladies THANKS SO MUCH for always knowing the right things to say I just know in my heart if I don't give the IVF a try I'm a failure for not TRYING and giving in too early. I called today and they now lowered my IVF to $8500 not including meds...so it shouldn't be over 11,000 dollars because I have follistim still. Anyways if I can get our bills under control by the time income tax would come I might could see a chance of us trying one round. I will update an let you ladies know what happens trying a LOT of diff. avenues at the moment

 

[waiting2012]

Oh Andi... I was praying that the girls would be in your home soon!! I support ya sweetie with whatever you decide.. I love ya and want good things for you and your family. Listen to your heart hun, I sometimes the voice in our heads sounds reasonable then we realize it wasn't..

Jenn.. With Adrian I got my af in about 6 weeks--I know because I was on my period when my gall bladder was removed... I don't remember with Wes because 1. I was single & 2. I was breastfeeding so it never occurred to me know when af showed...

As for bfp.. I think right now I'm the only one-go figure. I kniw that sounds bad but my FRE was a faint + sunday... I wish it was the other girls, honest. I guess taking the soy and 11 days of bleeding (not spotting-heavy to med flow) cleaned me out.. I'm not dwelling on it here.. I'm mire so looking to see bfps from the other girls..

 

[waiting2012]

Sorry for typos-phone...

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I think I want "our" baby I know sounds so wrong of me an selfish that I don't want those girls to have a home here...but their Aunt is harrassing me daily about the status of things going on....then the grandma I have a feeling for some reason shes gonna get them because she is FAMILY....I duno one min. I want them then the next I want OUR OWN baby an I can't have both...so its one or the other. If we get them I have to get fixed....or J has to..and I just can't do that right now so I would rather wait....this just isn't right of me and I want them to have a HAPPY home wherever they would go an here...I don't feel I have the time or money for them...and I feel like a failure and I think its best someone else can take better care of them right now.

 

[armymama2012]

Well today is 7 DPO and barely any symptoms (which is a first for me) and my temp is still rising!

 

[waiting2012]

I bet in a day or so you should be able to test!!!! I can't wait Nicole for you to test hun!! No sx is a good sign and temp rising! Wahoo!!! would love to see ya on the May 2013 board!!!

 

[waiting2012]

Andi- I know your torn sweetie.. I don't blame you.. Jason has mentioned adoption in the past and I was always resistant because I wanted "our" baby.. Then J here at work got pg and word was she was giving the baby up.. I thought it was a sign that God wanted me to extend a sign of support to her and offer my home to her baby. She's decided to keep her baby, and I'm happy for her. Point is, I understand hun. God opens doors for us and sometimes he just opens windows so that we can see glimpses of what may be...

Lots of love hun!!!

 

[calebsmom06]

Well I guess it should be anytime then. I'm at the 8 weeks mark and still no period, I was having pains on my lower left side at work today so I'm hoping nothing is wrong:/
Steph-I hope you get a more positive line and your egg sticks!
And I hope nicole and everyone waiting for their bfps get theirs this month!
Ashley-how is everything going? How much longer now?
Amanda-how are you feeling?
Tanya-how is that beautiful baby girl doing?
Love you all

 

[AndreaFlorida]

<==doing much better have a crazy idea that involves this...NOT GIVING UP YET!

 

[calebsmom06]

What do you plan on doing with that Andi???? Be careful and don't end up in the hospital!!! You and your experiments! Hehehe

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I don't want to see you on one of the ER stories Shows...... But honestly--I've thought about a good ole turkey baster..... Unfortunately, my hubby thinks his winky should only drop a load in one of two places--TMI--SORRY--and I'm ONLY allowing ONE place...

Ok, that was seriously not something ya'll want to picture or needed to know, but we've been through enough to hang it out there.. ("hang it out there".....)

 

[waiting2012]

Jenn--I compared my test to the one I have from you--yours is just a little bit darker when I look at the pics on my computer... Sx galore--nausea, acne, restless sleep, sore and VERY swollen boobs--Hun, I think this is one sticking around..Tomorrow--4 WEEKS! ... My chem pg last month was right before I should have been 4 weeks..So I've already reached one milestone by a whole day..

Love ya hun!
