*** The LATE CYCLE LADIES! *** 2 BFPs ~ 3 AF ***

[hmh33]

Oh, Daisy, it's just difficult for kids - ESPECIALLY the youngest - to handle the idea of another baby come along. The baby of the family usually likes that position - and doesn't enjoy the thought of becoming the 'middle child'.

It's an idea it just takes time to get accustomed to.

I know it hurts, but you are doing what's right for your little bean

 

[daisy74]

Sarah, bonus round? lol You're in bonus BD time!

Daisy - I went to Busch Gardens with friends we only get to see about every 6 months. They all thought I was uber lame for not riding rides because there was a chance I could be preggo. I didn't do it because I thought it was bad karma, asking God for trouble when I wanted a gift from him so badly. I have no idea what to tell you about your kids. I'm the youngest so I've got no advice. You're not a POS mom because you didn't ride bumper cars. I can at least tell you that much.

Thanks for responding and not thinking of me as a bad mom,I am doing the best I can and DH is so tired from 3rd shift he just dont seem to be able to keep his eyes open lately to chat with,Hugs

Ladies this is ramdom, but for the past few days or so, my feet and ankles are really really swollen. So much swollen that i cant even put my shoes on, and have to wear beach type flip flops, (thank god its summer).

Ive heard that if your pg, the feet can swell up, in late pg. But can it also happen in early pg? Really concerned about all this.

My SIL, who is a nurse, says it's not a symptom of pregnancy, but if you are newly pregnant and your ankles are swelling, that's generally not a good sign; if you're already retaining water, that's not good. She suggests if it continues to see a doctor.

Thanks hun, ive made a appt already with doc, pls to do thank you to your SIL.

Even though I'm back in the TTC section, I've got a PMA for this next cycle. DH's birthday is in August so I'm praying we get an August BFP! Just in case we do, I made a t-shirt for his birthday. If not, I'll use it when we finally do get knocked up. I'm kind of cheesy so this fits me to a T. Wait.....that was lame because it's a shirt. LOL

i like it!!!!!!!

 

[sarah1726]

well ladies, i just got up, went toilet, wiped, and there was some light brownish blood , i think it was blood, im not cramping like i usually do and usually my af is red this is almost like a rusty colour, and i had to wipe hard to kinda get it.any ideas ? 3 weeks late for af today and im hoping she stays away !!! (pray lol)xxx

 

[mrsmmm]

Oh Sarah, hugs to you!!!! Listen, I pray for your BFP but please don't be too hard on yourself if it is AF. I like a quote for these type things. *stands on table to get everyone's attention* "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." You've made wonderful TTC progress as a mommy in training. The stress of being preggo will be nill compared to what you have went through already. So, you've had the courage to start and continue to have faith. HUGS

I am kinda down,I just went to the bathroom ( sorry if tmi) and when I wiped there was brownish blood and more of it then there was earlier.We went to an amusment park yesterday as it was planned BUT I sat on the sidelines,My girls who are 17 & 12 were like mom are you going to ride atleast the bumper cars with us and I said I wasnt feelig well,I was feeling fine but trying to let my bean get nestled in and DONT want to do anything to risk another m/c .......We have limited money for "fun" things this summer as I lost my job although DH makes ok money we were struggling for a bit and yesterday meant soooo much to my girls and I feel I have let them down for nothing as it seems like I will just miscarry anyways My thoughts are racing and I dont know what to say or do anymore.We already paid for a week @ the ocean in mid August that I am looking forward to but I feel like a piece of sh*t mom for not atleast going on 1 ride with the 2 kids I already have but another part of me says there will be other times....I guess it was the 2 hour SILENT ride home that got to me,and I know for a FACT my 12 year old DONT want me to have anymore kids but I figure she will get used to it.MAN I FEEL A MESS!!!!

Wow! That's a tough situation! I know nothing can make you feel better and to say a 17 & 12 yr old should be more sympathetic to what you are feeling is wrong too as they are trying to understand that there is going to be yet another distraction in their life! Although I'm sure when the baby finally arrives they will be over joyed they can't see that right now. As hmh mentioned the 12 yr old doesn't want to NOT be the baby anymore and is probally worried there won't be anytime for your and her anymore. It's hard enough being a teenager and having to accept change in your life at that age is tough. Doesn't mean your doing the wrong thing by wanting/having another baby just means your going to have to deal with their feelings and yours until the baby comes and everyone is happy again.
Not much help I know I guess what I'm trying to say is I understand both sides! Hang in there and try not too worry just let your little baby nestle in and get comfy! Keep us posted I really hope this one sticks!

Daisy, you and me are in the same situation, i have a 16 year old daughter, 13 year old and a 5 year old daughters. My two older ones dont feel comfortable, but they understand that there step dad never had children, and it be unfair, on him. My youngest, has autism, so she is none the wiser. We are trying to make her get used to babies now, by introducing her to friends babies, and trying to make her understand, that one day mummy mite have a baby too.

Dont feel worry too much about having a miscarriage, have faith, and plenty of rest. Im sure everything will be ok. We are all here for

Have you tested again hun??? I am waiting to see your outcome.,COME ON BFP!!!!!!

 

[hmh33]

No, didn't test yet, have to go run out and buy some more tests...

I agree with your decision to wait to tell them, I would do the same thing. I really think it will all work out fine for you, it's just going to take your youngest awhile to get used to the idea.

Thanks I am so glad I have you to talk to,Your an awesome person who has a HUGE ♥
I figure wait and let them know,And I am also figuring if I let my youngest (Haley) hold the baby alot and come right in after the baby is born and make her feel like I really need her help which who know's maybe I will (LOL) then she will ease into it more.I know there is a HUGE gap in age here with my children but I have had a few early m/c and one @ 11 weeks which meant a dnc (sucked) then I had 2 tubal pregnancies so maybe I am thinking maybe Haley is just worried about me,Her and I are very close we play dress up and take walks everynight in any kind of weather I am close with my 17 year old Andrea as well but since she fell in love last summer she dont seem to mind what I do LOL...She will be 18 by the time this bean is born and Haley will be 13...WOW AM I CRAZY? I will be honest as soon as I have this baby I would love to try for one more so they have one another to grow up with but I had a semi physic reading that said I would have 3 total and NOVEMBER was sticking out for her ?? and it was a boy....I hope I dont lose this bean see now I am crying again. dh says when he gets paid this Thursday he would like me to do a test that says pregnant/not pregnant I guess he is still over it all I am too but I know I have never gotten a BFP unless I was,Well hun I am rambling.
Symptoms lately have been
TIREDDDDDDD (LOL)
Boobs hurt if pressed on noticed this when MIL came for dinner last night and hugged me before they left
craving sweets ( trying to stay away) just lost weight and ideally I shouldnt gain more then 10-15 lbs throughout this entire pregnancy
feeling kinda queezy
cervix is so high can hardly reach and feels closed but I am not an expert on that
Called my doctor today he is on vacation for 4 more days and will be back next Monday,No more spotting as of today so that makes me happy
I had a dream last night they made me eat the placenta after baby was born and it was a girl DONT KNOW why I dreamed this maybe because my cat just had kittens and I was thinking WOW glad women dont have to eat that crap (LOL) I dont know if I would have kids if that were the case HAHA
Well I am going to lurk around lol,Hugs and hope soon for your

 

[hmh33]

I think that sounds like a great plan! The youngest usually just worries that they're going to be forgotten about. Just continually reassure her that your love for her will not change, and yes, involve her with the baby.

Gosh, it worries me...I have no symptoms at all beyond pressure/cramping in my uterus, random headaches...

8 days late now...

I'm so happy you got your BFP...I really hope I get mine today

ive just come back from the docs, in regards to my swollen feet. And he mentioned to me that its possible, that i can be pg. Its rare but some women tend to have swollen feet and ankle in very early preg. He checked my blood pressure, and listened to my heart, and said all seem very well, he did ask if im taking iron tabs, which i am. Apparently preg can reduce iron levels in the blood, hence also cause fliud to retain in the feet, even in early preg, he sent me for some blood tests and requested that i do a HPT no later than Monday coming also he prescribe 200mg of iron tabs. I did request if he check my HCG levels in the blood test, but he wasnt allowed anymore as the NHS have now declined GP'S doing that test, only obgyn can do that, yeah right, whatever. Well he didnt seem concerned, which is a plus i suppose. i did also ask, that i had BFN last Thurday, shouldnt it show up, if i am pg? He said sometimes it just take some women an extra week or two to get a BFP, after there missed period. Heres to hoping

I also told him about the other doctor that i saw last week, and what she said, He said she shouldnt of said those things to me, and he will be looking into the matter further, i mentioned that i be making a complaint, he supports my claim in the matter, result

 

[hmh33]

GO TIGGER! woo!

I HOPE YOU'RE PG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
