Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Jrepp]

Jess, I do agree, I dont think a heating pad affects the tww itself but from what I was told, heat can damage eggs wo my doc told me with me trying like I am and only having my one ovary to try avoiding heating pads due to eggs while ttc but she did say IF I needed one that obv she wanted me to be comfortable but she just had this thing about heat being directly on my ovary...? And taking really hot showers was another thing she mentioned when I asked about things to do and things to avoid back at my 6 month mark appt (WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HSG! BUT SHE THOUGHT I WAS FINE! I really feel like my tube wouldn't have gotten that bad if she did the hsg from the beginning because they think my chemical just added to scar tissue already present, making my tube fully blocked. Ugh) Anyway, that actually makes me think and now I want to ask a diff doc about heat because maybe the doc who gave me this TTC info isn't too smart lol. I do know when I was pregnant with aiden it was a big no no for alot of heat only on my belly area though. Like if I wanted to go in a hot tub that was even set at a lower temp than usual but still a tiny bit hotter than tub water, I was only suppose to put my feet in lol. I was young and didn't really ask about facts and just listened. I think it had to do with blood flow because the one time I did try to take a hot bath, I almost passed out and that had to of been from blood rushing to my head or something...i was perfectly fine after and I didn't get dizzy spells with Aiden so it wasn't a normal thing to happen to me at that time. My body responded to the hormones well with him, thankfully, so I was happy and active. I hope for that kind of experience the 2nd time around! I hope all of us can enjoy every moment of it after all the hard work we've put in trying for that sticky bean!
Jess how is ur belly doing by the way? Did that insane swelling go away?! I couldn't believe that picture! It looked so painful! And how has work been? Hope not too crazy!

The swelling is way down from where it was, but still swollen. I noticed that any type of walking for extended periods and/or physical activity makes it swell back up. There is 5 days this week, 4 days next week and 4.5 days the week after and then school is over! Of course then it's celebrating one year anniversary that weekend and leg surgery the first week of summer break, but oh well.

 

[mdscpa]

I'm sorry Megan. That sucks!

Mdscap I hope your body keeps o at bay 2 more days. What time is your hubby's semen analysis at? I think it's tomorrow right?

It's in 2 days, so i just hope we still can catch it.

It seems so painful! I was babied after my surgery and was still living at home with my mom so I didn't force myself to do as much as you have been doing. Do your co-workers work with you and allow you to sit and relax for a few mins if needed? I hope so! I pray all that swelling goes down asap Jess. I would have been so freaked if that happened to me after my surgery! It makes me squirm for you thinking about it.
And yay! (about work almost being done for the summer!) and your anniversary!
How do you expect the leg surgery to go? Like do u know how long they expect for healing time and such? I bet you'll feel brand new and have a great pregnancy after all of this!!
Oh and btw, I think ur right about us being just fine if we ended up with twins in our little belly's lol. I dono why I didn't think of it but both my fathers mom and her mom are very petite like me and they both had twins perfectly fine . My dad has a twin sister and its been every generation for 3 generations but so far me or my siblings haven't had twins and I'm the only one who will still be having another baby at some point (everyone else has their baby/babies and are "fixed") so we'll see if I end up with the twins for our generation in my fam . Id actually enjoy it

 

[froggyfrog]

Hey! Mary I think that it was parenting.com it wasnt saying anything about heating pads or scorching yourself. I would never do that, but just warmth. Keeping your feet warm. And as far as the green tea, I have seen a lot of women say they they drank it, but I was just going to have regular decaf tea. And also all of these things weren't meant to do after implantation. So I was just going to do them for 1-5 dpo along with pineapple core. It may or may not help but Im still going to give it a shot. At this point ive got nothing to lose!

 

[Megamegan]

I would love twins too! But, at least on my mom's side, hyper ovulation doesn't seem to be a trait (if it is, no one knows about it and there were never twins)... on my Dad's side, I have no clue at all because he was adopted. You guys probably know this already but if anyone doesn't... You can only have any chance of having fraternal twins if you have the hyperovulation gene which runs in the mother's (ours) side of the family... like if your husband has twins in his family, it doesn't increase your chance of having twins with him, but if you have a daughter together, she might have the hyperovulation gene so she could have twins. But the fun part (i think) is identical twins, which are a random event- in that case we all have the same chance of having them- and I think that would be SO cool! I would totally love to have twins. My sister seems to have a hunch that she hyperovulates because she got pregnant while on her period- I know I've told you guys that story before (hey after 6 months together you kinda come full circle with the stories lol) but anyway she knows she did because she was on her period when husband came home from Afghanistan, and 2 weeks later she got a positive pregnancy test- the only explanation for this would be that she released an egg again while she was on her period. (at least from me, who is not a doctor, lol) She also got her period EVERY 20 DAYS before she had kids. How? Is that possible? I told her it's not possible, but she swears by it. I told her she must not be including her period week in that calculation, but she says she is. (Hmm.. to trust sister or not to trust sister...) She probably has no idea what she's talking about, lol.

I just had a huge cry on the phone with DH. He goes, "Just remember, you're super emotional today." and I belted out "I JUST WANNA BE PREGNANT!!!!" Lol. He's like "are you sure you're not?" and I said "NOOOOO!" (imagine in a sobbing voice) I laugh at myself now, I'm so moody when AF shows. Which by the way, I wish she would get a move on. I hate that she messes with my head all day long and doesn't show til evening. Not cool.

OH also, I just took a nice 1.5 hour nap, and Mary I had this crazy dream that I met you, and I was hanging out with you at your college (don't know where that came from) and we kept messaging each other on here even though we were right next to each other... lol... and we went to eat at this place where you cook your own food, but instead of cooking our own, you just went up to these random people and took their food and sat down with strangers. They were like "you are so awesome! You're so bold just doing whatever you want!" and they really admired you for stealing someone's food. Hahahaha. Then it turned into a chasing dream and I ended up fearing my life running from some gunman in my hometown on the street I grew up on, and having trouble dialing 9-1-1 on my cell phone (a recurring issue in my dreams) and thinking "I always dream of this problem. Now that it's real, why I can't I just figure it out?!" but it wasn't real. That was a crazy and long and very involved dream. Also, I hate when people tell me their dreams because it makes no sense- so, I'm sorry. I just had to tell you because you were in it!

 

[Megamegan]

I say go for it Chelsea, it's nothing extreme... you're just staying warm! I'm sure many people do it without even realizing it. Me? I'm eating ice cream for lunch today. But I'm mourning AF making her way here

 

[froggyfrog]

Are you 100 percent that af is coming megan? Would be nice if your nap and vivid dream meant something!

 

[Megamegan]

I guess I can't predict the future, so only AF showing will make me 100% sure that AF is here. lol. I do feel like it though. I have every typical symptom EXCEPT for cramps. I'm like, searching for them, trying to figure out if this pinch or that bubble is going to turn into cramps... nothin yet. But, last cycle I had a 15 day LP. I have to keep that in mind. Today is 15 dpo, spotting started on Saturday, and if AF isn't here by tonight, it will be very strange because I never spot several days before my period. Only one day (so even 2 is unusual already). I have gotten a little bit of brown spotting here and there, on and off, but I think I might go take a walk or something to see if I can get things moving along.

 

[Megamegan]

Also naps are not out of the norm for me. This girl likes to sleep when given the chance!

 

[Jennuuh]

I feel you Megan! Even before pregnancy, I napped a lot! Whenever I had the chance, I chose a nap!

Mds - I hope you guys are able to catch your peak O time! If not, at least you'll have answers on hubby.

Mary - I am definitely not opposed to twins at all! I would love it so much! I'd be able to have this pregnancy, and be done unless further down the road we decided we really wanted one more. Maybe it would happen naturally, or at least a little more easier this time! I had a dream last night that I had triplets, two boys and a girl. So far I've had dreams about one baby, a boy, and another dream about one baby, not sure on gender, and another dream about triplets. Nothing about twins, but they always say you dream the opposite of what you're having? Like if you dream about a boy, its a girl. Who knows! Guess we'll see soon enough (but really, NOT soon enough!).

Hope everyone has a good day!

lol ur dreams are too funny. My bff always used to dream she was having a girl but had a boy and at the same time id always have dreams about having a baby boy and even awake i just KNEW I was having a boy. I have no idea how but I really just knew it. Even for my u/s to find out the gender, they asked if I wanted to know ahead of time and I said "I know its a boy but if you can confirm itd make it so ill have alot less stuff to return if I'm wrong!" lol and lo and behold, she said its a boy! So the dreams can go either way i guess...but even without dreams, i just had a strong feeling inside about the sex...do you get that at all yet? For me, i was back and forth about what i thought itd be until about 10-11wks preggers and that's when i just knew . I'm still so happy for u!

If there is one, I'm pretty set that its a boy. If there's two, I'm set that its a boy/girl combo. My husband tells me that must be wishful thinking! I think it stems from when I was younger - I never told anyone that I would only have one baby, I told them from the moment I knew you could have twins that I was going to have twins, one boy and one girl. My Dad never ceases to remind me of that, so I'm going to stick to that

Hi ladies!

Been trying to catch up since Friday. Been a pretty horrendous weekend....Went to an urgent care after work for my back, alone, and at the very end the dr said he wouldn't do anything for me because of my pain dr...so irritating. My mom ended up taking me to the hospital and they were nice, gave me a few shots, toradol and dilaudid, and then sent me home with more percocet and somas.

Been having some weird issues with incontinence, which is like, so weird..never had that before...but apparently it can be a sign of a pinched nerve or something in your back. SO my mom came to my pain dr appt this morning...I was totally ready to 86 our contract and try to find help elsewhere...but I wimped out...he was being too nice. Ordered an MRI of my spine to be sure everything is OK, and sent me home with prescriptions for the Butrans patches I was on and some sort of presciption strength anti inflammatory, and ativan.

Went over to Mike's on Sunday with Marbles...we watched a movie...it was once again very awkward...and then I ended up crying because he is just so NERVOUS around me...like to the point that for most of the movie, he sat really far away from me...eventually I laid down and was propped up by his shoulder...but tried to hold his hand at one point and he got all uncomfortable and pulled it away. It's been over a MONTH. No sex...hardly a real kiss...I know he feels terrible, but it is like, unbearable. He has his first psych appt tonight....I am praying it helps...I don't know if I can handle it anymore. Or which would be worse. Breaking up with him, or waiting for him to not be so frickin nervous around me. I was very close to gathering all of my things from his house and just calling it off. But I want to see how his appointment goes. this is just so hard.

I'm glad you are back Chelsea!

Will try to get more caught up and write more. And it would be amazing to have twins! Have always wanted them! At this point though, I'd be happy to just have sex with my boyfriend.

Hey! Mary I think that it was parenting.com it wasnt saying anything about heating pads or scorching yourself. I would never do that, but just warmth. Keeping your feet warm. And as far as the green tea, I have seen a lot of women say they they drank it, but I was just going to have regular decaf tea. And also all of these things weren't meant to do after implantation. So I was just going to do them for 1-5 dpo along with pineapple core. It may or may not help but Im still going to give it a shot. At this point ive got nothing to lose!

I hope u didn't take what I said wrong..I didn't think ud scorch urself or anything lol but just wanted to warn ya but like u said, ITS WORTH TRYING! and I know u didn't mean after implantation. I just hope u get ur bfp regardless of what u do! And 1-5dpo def wont do any harm, I just meant that extra heat as in socks and such cant help implantation on its own as far as ive learned but I'm not saying it's harmful either. I wasn't trying to say u were doing anything wrong or judge u so i hope u didn't think that. I like to share the things I learn because it saves others from having to google as much lol Who knows, it could turn out to be just what u need, I'm no expert...just going on knowledge passed on from others. And as for the tea, I myself am a decaf green tea/plain tea drinker and that is very good to help with CM. I get the best EWCM after drinking decaf green tea up until O. Have you ever tried green tea up until O? And ive seen the pineapple core thing work for a few women on here (or it prob at least helped them anyways!) There is scientific evidence that it will feed the corpus lithium and keep it from dissolving and the corpus lithium will help heat ur body up if you conceive . The main person I remember eating a pineapple core and getting her bfp the same cycle was named Chelsea as well fx! I did it for 3 cycles but I didn't realize at that time that my tube is closed so that could very well be why it didn't help me at all...grrr! I cant wait until I can really join you ladies TTC again. Alls I can do is lend out advice right now (which isn't bad if advice is wanted) lol.
plz lord let my tube unblock!!!

Hey everyone. I know some of you have asked to hear me play. Please go to my journal and see the post I'm about to make if you're interested. Enjoy

Amy, I hope mikes appt goes good for him because YOU dont deserve this treatment. I'm sorry but you dont hunny. You've been doing everything you can to get yourself better and to stay strong yourself and after you just went through everything you did, the last thing you need is someone who is going to keep punishing you by making you feel worse . I want you to be happy and I know you want to be happy yourself. When I went through this same type of thing, the best thing for me at that time was to not be with the person that I harmed myself over. I realized it was because I was unhappy with him (even tho he treated me good MOST of the time) and before I spoke to anyone about it, I thought he was the best thing in my life. I know no matter the outcome, u can get thru this but I just really hope this torture from Mike ends. Like you said, its been a month and it sounds like an "excuse" to me to keep you on ur toes. I dont know mike so I may be wrong idk...i just want u to be happy!! I couldn't say those words to you enough lol. And the last thing u need is to get extremely depressed about what has already happened a month ago after you've been working so hard to feel better, u know?

Also, did ur spine look fine in the MRI? do u know yet? I love you hun and just stay strong and keep your head up! Ur doing an amazinggg job!
I just love that name marbles btw! & I love hearing u talk about him Cats are such loving animals! My kitty thinks he's our baby lol

 

[Megamegan]

I feel like I was seeing an almost-invisible something on this test at about 3 minutes, especially on the picture on my phone. Less so on the computer. Can you tweak Kenna? I think it's probably a little bit of a dye run because there's this little diagonal line going across the test. So far I've gotten nothing but super stark white on these Dollar Tree "new choice" tests so I dunno...I have to admit there is something other than white where the test strip is.

Still no AF btw.

Jess, I do agree, I dont think a heating pad affects the tww itself but from what I was told, heat can damage eggs wo my doc told me with me trying like I am and only having my one ovary to try avoiding heating pads due to eggs while ttc but she did say IF I needed one that obv she wanted me to be comfortable but she just had this thing about heat being directly on my ovary...?

I really feel like my tube wouldn't have gotten that bad if she did the hsg from the beginning because they think my chemical just added to scar tissue already present, making my tube fully blocked. Ugh) Anyway, that actually makes me think and now I want to ask a diff doc about heat because maybe the doc who gave me this TTC info isn't too smart lol. I do know when I was pregnant with aiden it was a big no no for alot of heat only on my belly area though. Like if I wanted to go in a hot tub that was even set at a lower temp than usual but still a tiny bit hotter than tub water, I was only suppose to put my feet in lol. I was young and didn't really ask about facts and just listened. I think it had to do with blood flow because the one time I did try to take a hot bath, I almost passed out and that had to of been from blood rushing to my head or something...i was perfectly fine after and I didn't get dizzy spells with Aiden so it wasn't a normal thing to happen to me at that time. My body responded to the hormones well with him, thankfully, so I was happy and active. I hope for that kind of experience the 2nd time around! I hope all of us can enjoy every moment of it after all the hard work we've put in trying for that sticky bean!
Jess how is ur belly doing by the way? Did that insane swelling go away?! I couldn't believe that picture! It looked so painful! And how has work been? Hope not too crazy!

Id actually enjoy it

My coworkers take some of the burden for me, but not all of it. I have to do a lot still, but do sit down as much as I can. I swelled back up today though.

Leg surgery is really frustrating me right now! The surgery center said that they are not authorized to give the ddvap shot so my surgery had to be done in the hospital, which is fine. However when they called the doctors office, my doctors assistant said that they hadn't even scheduled my surgery yet! I immediately called and she is casting someone's leg and will call back, but it's annoying to have all the paperwork filled out for where they told me to go and then have to turn around and reschedule. I'm going to insist on the same day though. I should hear back from her in about 20 minutes or so.

I would love twins too! But, at least on my mom's side, hyper ovulation doesn't seem to be a trait (if it is, no one knows about it and there were never twins)... on my Dad's side, I have no clue at all because he was adopted.

Then it turned into a chasing dream and I ended up fearing my life running from some gunman in my hometown on the street I grew up on, and having trouble dialing 9-1-1 on my cell phone (a recurring issue in my dreams) and thinking "I always dream of this problem. Now that it's real, why I can't I just figure it out?!" but it wasn't real. That was a crazy and long and very involved dream. Also, I hate when people tell me their dreams because it makes no sense- so, I'm sorry. I just had to tell you because you were in it!

From what i was told, my husbands twins in his family doesn't play a role in my ability to have fraternal twins (although I am at a much higher possibility because I was a fraternal twin) but since they are identical twins it slightly increases our risk due to the sperm causing the split in the cells. I read a study that was done and while identical twins is a "random" occurrence, they found a higher identical twin rate when the father had identical twins run in the family than when no twins ran in the family. Either way, my body is going to do what it's going to do.

That's cool, Jessica. I think there must be some kind of correlation that science just hasn't picked up on yet. I'm sure someone is out there trying to figure it out, lol.
