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

[Michellebelle]

Are you just temping michelle, or will you opk too?

I will definitely opk! I'll probably start around the weekend to make sure I don't miss the surge! I bet I won't O until at least 15 or 16 dpo, which is fine with me! Just hoping it's not day 24 or 25! I don't want too long of a cycle (unless it's a BFP cycle, of course!)

Yay Angela! So happy to hear that the baby looks great!

I don't know if I answered over in the FB group or not. We are doing pretty good. Yes, I am still dealing with hyperemesis. I currently have a picc line, that the doctor wants to remove next Thursday, but doesn't have a plan in place for continued hydration or medication since I'm still not able to handle the oral meds at all.

Luke is doing amazingly well. He's growing like a weed, and we have been discharged from almost all of his specialists. We have one more appointment with the allergist and one more with the GI and then we are done with both. He is walking now, and climbs on EVERYTHING. He doesn't listen at all, and continually pushes my buttons, but I love him just the same.

That's great news! I saw the video of him climbing on stuff on Facebook. It was adorable!

I hope they have a good plan in place or let you stay on the picc!

My youngest DD climbed on everything so much for a girl that we called her a monkey. She used to make me pull my hair out. I can't imagine how hairless I will be if it's a boy.

Glad all is well, and I hope they get your medical situation in check. Today was the first day that I could barely go an hour without the sensation of extreme queasiness. I can't imagine what you're going through.

Lol, we call Alexia our little monkey. She's all over the place already! She army crawls!

I hope they get a good plan set for you, Jess. And I'm so glad to hear luke is doing so good! I haven't been on FB in awhile so I haven't seen the videos (I'll have to get on there or you'll have to text me some videos ) But it sounds like he's a perfect little boy! I remember how into EVERYTHING Aiden was and I'm dreading it with Alexia! As I said above, she's already all over the place and isn't fully crawling yet! lol. She's going to be a wild one!

I'm sitting in the waiting room for my first OB appointment, really excited to be here, but just realized that I have been spoiled by the amazing punctuality of my REs office. Guess those in and out days are over lol

 

[Michellebelle]

It's true! Those REs are so efficient!

 

[aidensmommy1]

I hear that, Chelsey! That was def one thing I missed about my REs office, although my usual OBs usually pretty quick with me. They were all SO excited to see I was finally pregnant... It's almost like they all waited for me to come in! Lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

Michelle I hope you and I both O around CD16 because we're so close in CDs this month. Then we'll be in the TWW together and I can obsess over u testing! That's one thing I told myself I wouldn't start doing yet. I know my odds are really slim when it comes to natural conception so I don't want to put DH and I through all that again. Im going with the if it happen it happens approach ATM. We'll see how long that lasts though! lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

I just realized I forgot to say Happy 12 weeks yesterday, Chelsey! You reached a major pregnancy milestone! Congrats!!

 

[froggyfrog]

Thank you mary! I'm almost out of first tri! Time is definitely flying by!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

And it will keep flying by! Before we know it your LO will be here and Alexia will be turning 1! If your almost a week late like I was, there's a good chance you could have him on Alexia's birthday I'm anxious to see how close to her birthday you come! lol

 

[froggyfrog]

They actually told me that they won't let me go late. She said that they induce most ivf patients because they know the exact due date and it prevents a stillborn since after 40 weeks the placentas functionality decreases. So if he doesn't come early, I bet he is born right on Jan 25th!

 

[TTC74]

I didn't know that about going late! DH was actually asking me today about whether it mattered if you were a little early or a little late. Very interesting!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Hm, my REs and OBs both said going to 42wks is completely fine. I was actually scheduled for induction @b41wks. They said its best to let them stay in the womb as long as possible (without going past 42wks). I guess all REs and doctors in general have different views on things though. With me having an IVF pregnancy as well, the docs kept saying "even though we know your exact date of conception, "full term" is considered to be anywhere from 37 weeks until 42 weeks so your not technically late until 42 weeks." I kept saying "I hope I'm not going to be late again!" Or "oh shoot, I'm late again!" lol and that was the answer they all kept giving me. Seeing as your doctor went through fertility issues herself, she just may be taking EXTRA precautions with you because she knows what you've been through.. Plus you can schedule an induction anytime after I believe 38 weeks so if she's willing to do it the moment you hit 40 weeks, that's awesome! Especially because I noticed out of us girls on here who tracked bbt and stuff to KNOW when we Oed, a majority of us were late (past 40 wks) lol and our docs didn't want to induce until at least 41wks, unless there was another issue of course. I'd say your lucky your doc wants to get Gage out of you ASAP! You'll be so happy at the end of pregnancy! The end is the worst.. Ur uncomfortable and just want that baby out of you! LOL. I even felt that way wth Aiden and as you all know, my pregnancy with him was AMAZING! But regardless, once u hit 36-37 weeks ur like "okay.. Anyyyy time now!" lol.

A killer migraine just hit me in the middle of typing that so I hope I even made sense! I'm seeing blurry spots and diamonds. Ugh! I better say bye for now as I'm sure staring at this screen isn't helping any!

Took an opk this morning. It's not dark enough to be a positive, but is dark enough that I could O around cd 14 or 15! I'll keep testing to make sure we don't miss it! The earliest we can bd is probably Monday, so I hope I don't get the surge before then!

I was just coming on to ask u about ur OPKs! Fx we both O CD 14-16! Why can't you BD until Monday, if you don't mind me asking?

I had a colposcopy last week, and my doc says no bd for a week after so that there is no chance of infection!

 

[Michellebelle]

Are you doing opks, Mary?

It's been awhile since I've done opks, and I can't remember how long it usually takes them to turn positive for me! I'm just gonna watch them closely, and bd Monday regardless and hope I don't get a positive tomorrow.

 

[aidensmommy1]

I am not at this time. I don't want to get too wrapped up in TTC again, especially since we wouldn't have the money or coverage for IVF yet so I'm trying not to let myself get sucked into the mind set of "I NEED TO GET PREGNANT NOW OR ELSE!!!" like I was with Alexia. I have ur cycle and TWW to obsess over instead. And then when U get ur BFP I can obsess over ur bfps and betas like I did with Chelsey and Angela lol

It almost looks like I Oed 1-2 days ago but I THINK my temp will dip back down for O closer to CD15-16. I'm pretty sure the last 3 months that I've been temping again my temp has risen and then dropped again so hopefully it'll follow the same pattern this cycle. I don't like Oing too early, plus I don't want to see AF that soon! I hate AF, especially in the summer! It was def a nice break having no AF for 9 months! lol

 

[Michellebelle]

Interesting! Your temp is higher today, but that would mean a pretty early O. I'm curious to see if your hunch is right!
