OMG!! OMG!!

We have some awesome lines.

Allika and Ajd...i see lines on both your tests. I am jumping out of my chair right now..so much excitement! EEEEEEEE!!!

 

[Jenna_KA]

I had to run to my computer because I woke up with a text from AJD with the picture and I couldn't hold my excitement! HOLY CRAP BFP'S!!!!

Wooooo!!!! I see BOTH of them! Allika you definitely have a line there and AJD that line is definitely darker than yesterday!! This is so GREAT!!!! And you both were so down yesterday too OMG AJD and you had implantation bleeding too!! This is totally it!

 

[Kins]

Sorry EA hope the witch comes so you can move on and get that BFP

Hopin: Right, no doctor appt for me today next one is the 16th with the fertility specialist and the 17th is my first appt with an OBGYN. So I might call my RE and cancel the one on the 16th...dont think I should have two U/S back to back. Really there is no point.

AJ- DEFINITELY see a line..........cant wait till tomorrow mornings test

Awww luna can I say the baby is cute?> hhahaha love that u/s!!!!!!!!!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Luna holy smokes your almost there

Hopin- heheh I'm trying to stay with it Lol

Even though I'm on ntnp mode.... I am going to tryv& temp again. After I did the egg donation my first cycle after was abnormal... The 2nd month after lasted 32 days then last month was 30.... This month should have been 28 days but still haven't started yet. I'm hoping my cycle will be back to normal so I will try temping again. After all I still have a lot of softcups left

Let me also add that I jumped on a scale Saturday (first time since I stopped my diet in July) & holy crap.... I've gained 15 lbs. I swear I've been so stressed & just eating horrible food. I mean things I would definitely not normally eat. I swear I hate that I stress eat.

Any who hope everyone is well. I missed you all & I PROMISE to try & keep up

 

[Jenna_KA]

Lei have you tested? Maybe you had a lucky ducky month like Hopin Sorry about the weight gain I know how frustrating that can be too. I've never been self conscious about my weight until Draven now it really gets to me. Yet I still can't bring myself to exercise

 

[lune_miel]

Lei- happy you'll be temping again on here

Luna - wow 2 months to go!

AJD - Totally see it! I love that you played the shell game and still got it right!

You and Allika-
I am like Hopin, tomorrow I will not be doing any work first thing in the morning!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Jenna no I havent , we only bded a few times this month due to my stress & feeling horrid cause my body .... I don't even think it was around O time, if anything it was before so i doubt I would be

I'm the same way hahaha, I always say I'm gonna work out & instead I eat a bowl of cereal

 

[MandaC]

Wow look what I missed!!!! So excited for both you ladies Allika and Adj can't wait to see more congrats!!

 

[Allika]

Ugh Lei, weight gain sucks! & I feel like you put it on so easy but taking it off is soooo much work!

 

[ajd36]

I bought 4 more tests for the rest of the week until I go in for betas on Friday

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Allika...ajd.

So excited for testing tomorrow

 

[EAandBA_TTC]

My night: midol, wine, ice cream, & a spoonful of frosting... Completely acceptable right?
AF has officially started...

 

[Allika]

@EA: I wouldn't blame you if you ate the whole jar of frosting

 

[Jenna_KA]

Lei: Mmmm I love cereal.... How long are you going to wait for AF before you decide to check and test? Obviously you're in no rush but you have to have SOME breaking point

EA: PERFECTLY acceptable. Enjoy



I'm really freaking out right now I'm trying hard not to but I can't help it. Draven's had these stupid pinpoint blood spots under his skin that show up on his face and neck and arms every once in a while. They haven't showed in a while so I kind of forgot about them but they're worse than ever now. I did some googling (I know, worst enemy) and I found something called petechiae. It looks IDENTICAL to what he has! The causes can be from low platelets, vitamin k deficiency, lupus, anemia, leukemia... the list goes on. Of course my mind jumps straight to the worst possible thing, leukemia. I've emailed his doctor asking her opinion and it can take up to 2 days to get a reply. I'm just trying to stay calm.

The first 2 are of Draven and the second 2 are pictures I found online.

 

[hockeypucks]

Holy look at all the things I missed, Alika, ajd. Those lines are looking great. Really hope more and more wonderful ladies are getting BFPs!

Just an update from me- had Dr apt this morning and we are going right into IVF. It really came down to a cost effectiveness incorporating success rate. Donor sperm is expensive. The procedure for extracting sperm from DH would have a very low success rate and not to mention yet another expense. We are still both comfortable with using a sperm donor.

So I start birth control pill today (technically since it is past midnight) and take that for 18 days and then orientation the 18th day and start the meds. Dr. figured we would just transfer 1 over but will see what quality/quantity is like after retrieval. And then 5 days after retrieval will be the procedure. So close yet so far- then the darn 2 week wait again!

So that is my update for now. I can't wait to keep track of all the POAS and BFP's that are about to happen!!! So happy for you ladies!

PS Manda sorry to hear about your BFN-

 

[ajd36]

Jenna, try to keep your head up for now until you hear back from the doctor. I'm sure there is a good reason for the spots you are seeing..... deep calming breathing and know we are here.

EA: sorry for your AF, she truly is a wicked witch! Wine and frosting always sounds good

Hockey: yay! Ready to start IVF, so exciting. I know all too well how $$ using DS is and can relate to your decision. I probably would have moved on from IUI sooner but I got preggers on the first try so I kept going...I think a little too long

AFM: Heading to bed in about an hour or so...probably will be up around 8ish Cali Time...so all you East Coasters will have to hold onto your britches and wait for me to get up hehe....but I'm just as excited as you!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

EA That sounds like just what the doctor ordered to me, hun

Lei Yeah I'm ready for you to test! And I know what you mean. I'm heavier than I have ever been in my LIFE right now, and I was working out 6 days a week and dieting until I got this bfp. Now I'm not working out at all besides walking and I'm not eating unhealthy but I have been consuming more calories because I feel sick if I don't eat. I know it's ok to work out while pregnant but I'm not taking any chances!
It's not fun feeling self conscious about yourself though - I know where you are. Why can't we just eat crappy and still look like we did in HS?!!

Jenna Stay calm hun!! Don't think the worst - that's not going to be what you're dealing with. Do NOT google. I swear there have been times I have googled my symptoms and if I went by what I read I would've had every different form of cancer by now. Keep your head up and keep us posted on baby Draven

Grateful Jimmy is adorable. and that is all.

Allika, ajd I need you to test STAT. I am dying to see those lines!!!!

Luna Let us know how your appointment goes today!

hockey Yay for these next couple of weeks! How are you feeling about all of it?

Lune I can't believe you have a scan in less than a week! I'm so excited!

 

[Allika]

@Jenna: you cannot go by what Dr. Google says! It's probably something tiny and Dr.Google is just scaring you. Let us know what the pediatrician says!

AFM: took one test yesterday night and this morning. The one from last night
looks darkest to me. Overall not a big increase. Hmm

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Allika - I see an increase, and you are still only 10 DPO which is very very early! I got BFN's @ 10DPO with my bfp back in November of last year. So this is a good thing! That line is there an not going ANYWHERE so you know it's not you trigger!
Are you going to call your doc for betas?

 

[Allika]

Nevermind FMU is just not my thing! This one is darker!
