oh fine Crystal, don't care, be like that

I know you DO care, I have you on my cheer-leading team

 

[Milty]

So sorry for your DH Hun...I think this happens to us all girls a lot so I'm sure we all feel for him tonight. I also think when we hear this crap most of the people who say it are lying

I had to take a nap when I got home...

I swear my symptoms are so crazy I feel like in crazy and I'm not really pg. I keep thinking my docs will laugh at me for getting my bloods done. She did give me another script for Progestrone

 

[crystal443]

Liz- i just didn't want to leave it typed like that, I'm superstitious so even if it wasn't intended it was reading all wrong

I am captain of that cheerleading squad

Milty- Thanks, I think it stung because it was coming from his friend, and he's told this guy how happy he is for him and his wife and we are. They have no children so this is huge for them. For whatever reason he added these parts when he announced it to everyone I'm really not sure why he did it but I still wish them well and am glad they were blessed,

Now as for symptoms, for me my first symptom is always my boobs growing a few cup sizes in a few days and they hurt so much I have to wear a bra to bed I usually don't get any symptoms until right around AF is due. However, many women are more sensitive to hormones and just "know" their pregnant much earlier.I think your one of those people and you just know You've just had a chemical as well so your going to be a bit jumpy to see if your pregnant or not Its totally normal to feel that way but your definately not crazy


On a side note we went to Target and BigW last night and they have Christmas things out

 

[Milty]

OK all I'm sooo relieved. I was feeling a bit down because the doc didn't call and I'm so tried and afraid I've imagined everything.

Anyway DH suggested I test so I did and I can tell my line is better even from this morning....!!! So I'm cautiously optimistic...

 

[Milty]

Crystal your a great chearleader!!!

 

[crystal443]

Thanks Milty

 

[LLbean]

Milty's test...as I received it (so not tweaked)

 

[Milty]

Crystal don't you have to start extra meds when you get a BFP?

 

[LLbean]

ok cropped now and a tad less bright

Hi Everyone!

The first thing I saw was that Milty got lines again! Congratulations, Milty!!! I'm going to have to go back through messages and catch up.

We are expecting our first hard frost this weekend on Sabbath so we're working to strip the fields of all produce before it's too late. Then of course we're canning everything up that we can for sale in the store. I've never been so sick of making salsas, jellies, relishes, etc. It's kept us busy! which is a good thing because I'm waiting on a positive OPK. Should happen tomorrow or Saturday. Poor Hubby!

I'm off to try to catch up!

 

[crystal443]

Milty- I can see the line a bit better today Its still really early so its going to be at least a few days before its darkening I can see something though

H0peful-Wow you have a few busy days ahead of you, hopefully you get all your work completed in time. I used to make beets, mustard pickles, sweet pickles, strawberry jam and salsa but haven't done this in a few years now My grandmother taught me

 

[crystal443]

Crystal don't you have to start extra meds when you get a BFP?

I'm on Prednisolone full time and let me tell you my cheeks are showing it Thankfully I haven't gained weight only cheeksI'm on baby aspirin full time so its only Clexane I need to start with a BFP, I'll test next week if I'm feeling hopeful I have no urge to test this month

 

[H0pefulagain]

Crystal, you must have the patience of a saint. I have 2 reasons for saying this. 1 - you are so easy going about the letter when I'd be on a broom stick and fussing to high heaven. 2 - you can really manage not to test for that long? I shall never be accused of having such willpower...not even if I fake it on my best day!

Milty, I'm so excited for you! Please keep POAS so we can live vicariously through you for now!

LL, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Peace, how are you doing? You're much too quiet.

Jen, are you feeling better?

Suki, I think it's safe to say that you're missed.

Hi to everyone else! Hope you're having a great week!

 

[crystal443]

H0peful- the first time I got the letter, I didn't have the heart to tell DH so I threw it in the garbage and called them and stayed quiet about it because why hurt him if he didn't need to know? This last time I was angry but hurt as well because I think it shows the level of care that for something so sensitive it shouldn't fall through the cracks like that. So not impressed but its just been one of those weeks for us It will pass, it always does

I just have zero urge to POAS but I agree Milty can keep us going and then Liz I will test next week but it'll be late in the week I'm not sure if the zero urge is a good thing or a bad thing but will will be

 

[Bravemom]

Milty can't wait to see your results tomorrow

Peace how are things? What's going on?? I hope you are ok

Crystal sorry about your day I would be livid to get that letter in the mail talk about stupid and insensitive

Hi everyone!! Hope you are all doing great. Looking forward to lots of great news from you ALL

(bmom I almost called you by your other nameHow are you doing?)

That's ok you can call me T I'm ok af arrived onwednesday night ,no surprise there but it's very heavy and Im getting a lot of deep pains in my left breast / nipple so I'm a bit concerned ,am hoping it's just my hormones and it will leave wen af does otherwise I need to go to the docs ,anyway how are you my lovely ?

 

[Bravemom]

Suki I miss you desperately Crystal ,that sucks about the letter Ready h.a hopeful Peace ,always on my mind beautiful Liz for today

 

[peacebaby]

Hi girls

Thanks for thinking of me ....i'm hanging on a thread and having more meltdowns then i care to count. The up's & downs are either tragic, hilarious or "paranoid central" depending on how you see it. Nothing to do but wait until a scan will tell us more....one day at time is my official line but its more like one minute, can't help but let every twinge and then every non twinge worry me. A few days ago i went shopping for DH's birthday gift and right there in the middle of the London's busiest shopping street (Oxford str), surrounded by glamorously made-up shop assistants I realised that I had no preggo symptoms at all, just felt perfectly normal and that was it... the waterworks came gushing out and i came home sobbing in the rain convinced it was all over & without a gift purchase Very unlike the old me (rip).Even managed to convince DH who is great at pretending not to worry, that it was all over. Now to get through the weekend...

Milty glad to hear you got the progesterone, it can make all the difference in the early stages. You're not crazy, this whole process is one crazy rollercoaster. Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed xxx

LL, i'm so excited for you, definitely following the head cheerleader

Hopeful, that sounds such hard work but yum yum! I suddenly want salsa, relish & pickles but it won't be the same as yours and then I'll be disappointed. Hope that OPK goes positive soon

Crystal your chart is looking good. May the temps keep flying! Boo to the dr & that letter, sounds exactly like the NHS here. It really makes you feel like you're just a number to them. Hope you don't have to go through that again As for DH's colleague - what nonsense! Sounds like he added that bit just to "big himself up". Tell your DH I think it was a case of bitchy-ness and rather un-manly of the guy so he should have the last laugh. Usually its smug females who say things like that.Maybe his hormones need checking not enough testosterone in the tank!

Jen how are you? Feeling the glow yet? Haha just kidding...by my count you must be close to the 12 wk mark now?

Bmom sorry about a heavy AF and the BB pains. Wonder what it could be? but i hope it disappears soon.

Suki I was curious about the Beyond Chocolate course you mentioned so looked at it online. I think we'd all be interested to hear more and keep up with how you're doing on it so hoping you'll pop in sometime to cheer us up

HA hope ER goes swimmingly well and you report back on lots of top class embies

Ready, More4mum, Alison & everyone else

 

[Milty]

Peace I think stopping in the middle of the walk on a busy street and crying sounds like a of symptom all in itself.

 

[LLbean]

Peace take deep breaths and enjoy this. I am sure all is ok and will continue to be for you and bean

 

[H0pefulagain]

Peace, maybe it is just going to be an easy pregnancy. Just know that I can't like you very much if in the end you simply sneeze and deliver!

I think Milty is right and that shopping trip was a symptom all in iteself! Like Liz said, relax and enjoy this. Let yourself have some joy out of this. I know...easier said than done.

Crystal, that lack of urge to POAS is not always a bad thing. The less stressing you do, the better! I just don't have your willpower!
