[pink23]

i also think af is cominh as some spots have started to appear which is a usual sign but all of a suuden my bbs are sore to really heavy. oh how the lovely body plays with your mind xx

 

[Jess137]

I'm sorry Emily.

Snow, it sounds promising!

Wanab, it's so close now! I know it's probably really hectic right now, but you are going to have a beautiful wedding and an awesome vacation!!! I hope you get that !

Meadows, that does sound like a good sign (although burping all the time probably sucks!)

Singers, I'll check out your website.

Pink, you aren't out till AF shows her ugly face! FX'd!!

AFM, I went to see my new OB/GYN this morning. I switched because the office is more convenient for me. Anyway, it was for my annual exam/pap smear. I talked to her about TTC and how I had not been ovulating. She said that normally they would not do any testing for a YEAR!....but since I have been temping and using OPK's, she is going to go ahead and start running tests on me! I have an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound scheduled for Thursday, I think to check for PCOS. Not sure what else they look for. But she ordered a blood test for progesterone to get done on CD25, and wants to order a test for LH on CD3 next cycle if AF doesn't show. She said that if the progesterone test comes back abnormal & AF doesn't show for some reason, she will give me progesterone so I start AF. And if I am still not ovulating then she will start me on Clomid. Of course, I hope that it doesn't come to all of that. I really think that the Vitex is going to work though. I am very glad to be able to get the ball rolling on all of this instead of having to wait 6 more months! She also said that DH may have to get a fertility test as well, so that I don't have to get unnecessary tests in case he has an issue.

Sorry for the long read!

Happy Weekend Ladies!!

So much to catch up on. I'll do my best...

Jess - good news about the OB/GYN appointment. At least you can get things started which will hopefully bring you closer to that bfp. Fingers crossed it's all an easy fix for you.

Pink and WanaB - hoping that nasty stays away and a bfp shows for you soon.

Also, wanaB - yay to being finished with work until your wedding. The days will just fly by now. I hope you can have some relaxation time beforehand.

Meadows - sucks to be burpy but hopefully that's a good sign that somethings going on for you. Fx'ed for the bfp

Singers - glad the move went ok. I hate moving, it its always so draining. Love the website, you've made some lovely pieces.

Snowflakes - good idea on the quiet weekend. You just need them sometimes to relax.

Emily - sorry about the bfn, sending your way though. You're not out yet.

Becca, Swan, Nanner - I hope you are all doing well too??


AFM - still trying to keep away from the symptom spot. Nothing really to report anyway. Was really tired last night, slept for 12 hours Other than that, just enjoying a quiet weekend. Going out for dinner with a couple of friends tonight so that will be nice.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

 

[beccad]

Jess great news that you can get the testing started and I hope its just something simple to fix. If I went to my doctor here they'd look at me like I was mad if I said I'd been taking my temperatures and knew I wasn't ovulating And we wouldn't get referred for a year either, and even then it'd be another couple of months before you saw the specialist. If you're over 35 you only have to wait six months.

I'm going to a wedding today. A friend of mine who is one of those men who I never thought would get married

 

[lu-is]

Oooh lots of exciting pages to catch up..

Singers love - congrats on the new job!! I'm going to go check out your website this morning.

Happy Belated Birthday CeeDee!! How did telling your husband go?

Becca- yay for the positive OPK!! and have fun at the wedding! (I love weddings)

WannaB - wow you're trip is coming up so soon!!! Good luck for the wedding and the trip in general, and Fx'd for BFP!!

Swan - Thanks for sharing your bump pictures, it's looking cute already!

Snowflake- good luck for a BFP when you test this week!

Emily- sorry for the BFN.

Meadows - oooh burpy could be a good sign. When are you testing?

Pink - our bodies totally like to mess with us.

Jess - That sounds good that your new Ob/Gyne is going to run all these tests. I hope that they can determine what's going on.

My dr's appointment went well, did a pregnancy test anyways though he figured it should be positive since I'd gotten several +'s at home. Took 7 little vials of blood. I go back for a prenatal check up at about 10 weeks. Then I have to decide if I want to switch to an Obstetrician/gyne or stay with him until week 28 then switch (My Dr. used to do obstetrics but apparently just stopped? boo... ).

my sister still hasn't had her baby, She is 11 days over due today - they induced labour yesterday but it didn't work. She went back into the hospital this morning for them to try the next step of induction. I'm hoping she doesn't have to have a C-section.

Thanks for the well wishes, my grandma is doing better - she's back in her usual nursing home which is very good for her. (She's got alzheimer's so the being at the hospital and unable to move or walk really stressed her out).

 

[Meadows]

Hi Lu-is,

Glad all is well with you......all sounds very exciting!! Yeah i'm still burping like a trooper - am convinced i'll get a BFN tho when i test - surely i couldn't be that lucky to get pg straightaway again?! I'm testing on the 17th (next Wed), unless i cave before (am feeling pretty strong at the min tho!) When abouts in ur cycle did u get ur BFP? xx

 

[swanxxsong]

You never know Meadows, lots of women do manage quickly after. I have my fingers crossed for you - and all our ladies testing in the near future! The burping is odd - I'm sure it's annoying to you! haha. I had heartburn for a week straight before my BFP. That was awful. Hoping and praying hard for you chick!

I keep peeping back to see if anyone's tested yet. I'm like a 5-year-old... and I don't wanna clean the house. haha

 

[Jess137]

Poppie, have fun at dinner!

Thanks Becca. It sucks that they won't do anything for so long, but I guess since I have private insurance, the doctors know they will get paid. I'm assuming it's different with government sponsored insurance?

Lu-is, that stinks that you have to change doctors! Also, I hope your sister has her baby soon, without a c-section. I'm glad your grandma is better too.

Meadows, I know that a lot of women get pg right after. I really do hope that you get a this cycle. You deserve it.

Swan, I never want to clean the house! It annoys DH....

 

[swanxxsong]

I never want to clean either! We're clearly not the cleaning housewife types. He's working right now and I have dinner simmering away (stuffed cabbage, yay!) but I need to do other housework and right now, all I want to do is snuggle my puppy. haha

 

[wanaBmummy]

i must be an odd one because i like to clean i mean not all the time but when im in the mood for it i clean the whole house in one go and really enjoy it lol xx

 

[Jess137]

DH is on his way home from being out of town, and I have a roast on the stove. But I've been sitting on the couch all morning! I'm not the typical housewife type for sure....

Wanab, you're nuts!! Just kidding! But if I said something like that, my family would think I've gone of the deep end. I HATE cleaning!

 

[wanaBmummy]

lol well mine comes from my mild OCD i had when i was younger so yeah i am nuts lol i was about 12 and cleaned my room top to bottom twice a week including the outside of the windows, moping, polishing etc my mother loved me as a child haha xx

 

[swanxxsong]

WanaB, if it wasn't so close to your wedding I'd offer to hire you to clean for me ;D

 

[Jess137]

^^^ Ditto!

 

[Jess137]

I forgot to mention, for this ultrasound that I have to get Thursday, I have to drink 40 OUNCES of water 20 minutes before the test! You have to have a full bladder for it. I'm really afraid that I'll pee my pants. Seriously. I already have to pee 2-3 times an hour as it is!

It's all for the cause...

 

[snowflakes120]

Sorry girls, this is going to be short. I caved and tested today - BFN.

 

[pink23]

i dont like cleaning either. i really should it more as i feel bad when oh does alot more than me.
Swan- i had heartburn when i was pg with caleb so keep looking out for it but no real symptoms other than a bit bloated tonight.
I have my pedometer on for work and i walked nearly 6 miles in 7 hours and roughly 18000 steps. Im hoping to have lost again this week at weight watchers. i only want 2 1/2lb and that makes 7lb in 2 weeks but i think it will only be one.
woek at 7am but it will go quick xx

 

[CeeDee]

My DH was very excited at the news. He was surprised because he thought (like I did) it would take a little while. He talked about the baby all night and couldn’t wait to tell his family. We agreed to only tell our immediate family and then everyone else after our first scan. My parents were really excited and my sister started screaming.

Beccad, Congrats on positive OPK!

Meadows, I don’t know about the internet cheapies. I ordered a bunch of them prior to getting my BFP, so I wasn’t able to test them out.

Wanab, Hopefully you won’t see AF. FX’d. You must be so excited about the wedding.

Poppie, FX’d .

Singers, Love your stained glass. My mom does stained glass as a hobby.

Emily, sorry about the BFN.

Lu-is, Glad to hear your grandma is doing better. I hope your sister doesn’t have to have a cesarean.

Snowflakes, you’re not out yet.

 

[swanxxsong]

Sorry about the BFN Snowflakes but hang in there!

Thanks for the heads-up Pink! I get it on rare occasion now, usually only if I haven't eaten in a decent amount of time.

Glad to hear things are going well CeeDee! And I'm glad you finally told him - yikes I was exploding with excitement FOR you to tell him! I'd never be able to keep it to myself, I give you major props!

Jess, that's the worst! I was downing liquid left and right afraid I didn't have enough and I thought I was going to explode. But good luck! Like you said, all for a good cause!

 

[Nanner]

Ugh... cleaning.

Jess- I usually have to be that frequently too! I don't think it's that necessary for people like us to have to drink THAT much water for a scan.

Emily- Sorry about the BFN.

Lu-is- Glad your granny is doing better. I bet your sis can't wait to pop out that kid! She must be so uncomfortable!

Wannabe- You must be way excited for you wedding! Just around the corner!

I have been soooo tired. I've taken 2-3 hour naps every afternoon for the last few days and STILL go to bed at 9. When I am up, I feel so heavy it takes everything I have to just move around my house. I hate it. Any suggestions? I eat okay, though I know I could use some more fruits and veggies. I run regularly and feel good when I do it, but I crash the second I get home. Maybe it's my sudden drop in caffeine these last few weeks?
