Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[krissie328]

Dogmommy- good luck at your scan Wednesday!

I'm pretty anxious for mine too. It's so hard to be optimistic after everything we've been through.

 

[RedRose19]

Good luck ladies! Hope all goes well

Sorry I've been MIA, everyone!!! It appears that I've missed a lot!!!

Krisse- CONGRATS on your BFP! I know you and hubby had decided to take a break from TTCing, so it's amazing that it happened that way. I'm thrilled for you!

Dogmommy-Same for you!!! I'm so happy! I hope the morning sickness stays away, but that's great news about the progesterone and the HCG.

Angela, awesome job with the fitness and weight loss! It can be really challenging. I always do well, but then fall away from my plan.

AFM, not much to update. After talking with the agency we planned on using, we realized it would cost us about $30,000 to complete an adoption. While we knew it would be pricey, I wasn't quite expecting that number....we decided it seemed silly not to at least try a couple of rounds of injections before then. At a few thousand dollars each, it could lead us to our BFP, and it's quite a bit cheaper.

Honestly, I've been mentally just trying to take a break from it all and remind myself that I still have time. I'm only 25, and I'm still getting established in my job and trying to obtain my Master's degree. Hubby and I are also trying to really get our finances under control and get some projects done around the house. It doesn't take away my occasional sadness, but I am finally meeting some peace. It's been two years since I've started medicine, and the whole time it's just consumed my life. I'm just trying not to think about it.

Angela, the pregnancy has been up and down. Pretty intense sickness at the start, then I got pneumonia. Plus injecting myself daily with blood thinners. Now my iron's low and I'm having a scan next week because his growth appears to have slowed down. But I'm feeling so grateful to be pregnant and it's exciting getting all ready for him. How are you getting on?

 

[krissie328]

Brandi- I didn't realize adoption was that expensive either! I hope the injections work for you and you get your baby soon.

Sarah- sorry to hear you have had a rough pregnancy. He'll be so worth it when he's here.

 

[AngelaALA]

Brandi I think your making the right decision giving it one last shot before you move on to adoption I really hope you get your BFP xx

Sarah sorry to hear you have had a rough pregnancy I have everything crossed that your scan goes well xx

Me we're just NTNP at present but after our holiday in Sep of we havnt got our natural BFP which I very much doubt we will then its back to the IVF xx

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks Krissie and Angela, he will be so worth it. My hubby is away overseas for the next 4 weeks so I just have to keep cooking him.

Krissie, I hope the first tri is treating you well.

Angela, I'm keeping everything crossed that a magic natural BFP comes your way. Have a nice holiday, I hope it's just what you need!

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks brandi. I think you are doing the right thing and focusing on getting everything you want in life and at 25 you are still young!

Angela I have everything crossed that you get a natural Bfp. I think your hard work on weight loss will pay off. There's plenty of natural Bfp stories after years of trying so I'm sending you all positive vibes I have! Are you going anywhere for your holiday?

Krissie which day is your scan? It's coming up quick now.

Sarah sorry about your rough go but not long now. It will all be worth it to have that baby in your arms.

 

[krissie328]

Krissie which day is your scan? It's coming up quick now.

My scan is Wednesday.

 

[RedRose19]

Got my fingers crossed for everyone's scans this week. I hope everyone is good.

I just spoke to the fertility nurse and she said I don't have to wait again! She said I just need a letter from my gp and to send it up and ring the nurse again and she will go find it and get me an appt for right away or when ever I want it for. I'm gonna get my dr to do that next time I see her and and when I ring ask for an appt in nov/ Dec because she said I will need to re do some bloods and a scan but I could pick when to do treatment I said I'd prefer to do it jan/feb so there would be a 18 month gap between my boys but means I can enjoy holidays in sept and Xmas.

 

[dogmommy]

Red that's great news!

Krissie good luck at your scan today.

 

[krissie328]

Thanks dogmommy. I have one baby with a strong heartbeat.

 

[dogmommy]

That's fantastic Krissie! Congrats again!

 

[brandi91]

That is great news, Krissie. So exciting! How is everyone doing?

 

[Vankiwi]

[AngelaALA]

Krissie congrat really made up for you that the scan went well xx

Dogmommy how are you feeling when is your scan xx

How are you Vankiwi xx

Nothing to report here guys the witch showed up this week but we havnt had much BD in this month due to our work shifts being all over the place Im thinking about starting OPK Sticks again and temping just to see xx diet has slowed down I need to pick it up again but Ive nearly lost 1 stone so thats good xx We havnt booked anywhere yet but we have the holidays booked off and the money to pay for it as long as its hot Im happy xx

 

[krissie328]

Dogmommy- how's your pregnancy going?

Angela- lovely to gear from you. Any idea where you guys might like to go? I'm sure it will be lovely where ever you choose.

Red- any update from you?

Afm, things are going well here. I have a scan on August 2nd so I'm really nervous/excited for that. It's the 12 week one so pending it goes well we plan to start telling people then. I go back to work August 7th so I'm glad the worst of it should be behind me then.

 

[RedRose19]

Angela it sounds like your having a busy summer ! I hope you enjoy a holiday ikebana you say as long as it's warm!

We are going back to Disney with the boys in September. So I'm looking forward to it.

Nothing going on here in 10 dpo I think and bfn.
But I'm ok with that. I've got to habe two root canals done and I don't know if you can do it while pregnant. I'm still bf and they told me I had to wait a few hours after before feeding him so I'm pumping loads to store a few hours. I am so freaking out about my root canals though! I feel so nervous!
I'm going back to the clinic in dec and I can't wait

 

[AngelaALA]

Oh god red I hope its not too painful and it works I hate the dentist they say pregnancy ruins your teeth as thats the first place the baby will take calcium from you, it's probably a good thing to get a bfn right now until your teeth are sorted could you imagine having constant tooth ache for 9 months my god its the worst pain ever xx goodluck hun xx

Krissie I really hope everything goes smoothly for the scan Ive got everything crossed for you not long to go now xx

 

[sarah2211]

Redrose, I went to the dentist in the first trimester with a wisdom tooth that's doing me no harm but a dentist who is keen to remove it. But when I told her I was pregnant she wouldn't do anything but clean my teeth in the first trimester. She told me to book back in in the third trimester to have it removed... but I "forgot" haha. Not sure if it's the same for root canals but it sounded like they won't do dental work in the first trimester.

Good luck for your 12 week scan Krissie. Whenever I see people mention things coming up in August, I freak out because I'm due in august haha!
