The One Year Strong Ladies!

[sparklebunny]

NJ!!

I know!!! i'm ages out of everything! Urrggh!

How are you sweetie? other than the acne which i seemed to have picked up for no apparent reason too! LOL! I never get spots but maybe since all these ups and downs I've been through my hormones are reeking havoc on my skin! But on the up note for you loads of creamy CM is usually really good as are spots if you've O'd and managed to have on time!! FX'd

Erica that sounds like you pretty much had the perfect day!

sorry ladies got a lot to catch up on with this thread... Ill read later. Just chilling on my birthing ball for now. Went to get checked at hospital yesterday as DF and I were involved in a car accident... Baby seems fine but since the impact he's still head down but his body has turned sideways so he's all bunched up on my left and I'm trying to get him to move around as I really don't want him to go back to back.
I'm a bit hurt and DF has whiplash but to be honest we don't care as long as Toby is ok. It's crazy how strong the maternal instincts kick in when something like that happens... DF had to stop me getting out of the car because I was about ready to punch the woman who hit us!!

 

[sparklebunny]

@COTTLESTON, I can't believe that. I hope you're ok, that must have been really scary. Thinking of you, and make sure you keep resting!!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Holy crap, cottleston, hope everything is ok!

@sparkle, I'm doing good otherwise. Only 4dpo. I have my gyn appt on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to that. I know she won't exactly be able to just look at my hoohaa at 7dpo and be like "OMG!", but it's still funny in my head. We'll see where we are after this cycle. Timing was right. We just have to see if the made it!

I want this acne to go away. I feel horrible with it. Plus my hair looks crappy, greasy...I'm getting my hair cut and colored Thursday (I'm months overdue), so I can get rid of these inches of roots I have growing out. Work seems to be slowing down a little bit, so maybe I'll get a chance to just relax.

@Mrsjerome, Aww, i am so glad that you had such a wonderful day! That is pretty sweet getting all of the free maternity and baby stuff!!That will save you alot of $$. I am also glad that you and DH are getting along so well without the pressure of TTC.

@Cottleston, awww, ohh, nooo, I am so sorry you guys had an accident!!!! But, I am just glad to hear that overall you and DH only had minor injuries, and thank godness that your baby is alright!!!! Wow, that must have been scary for you both....

They have maternity stuff at old navy?! what the crap? I was just at the mall yesterday and didn't even THINK to go in there

 

[HappiestMom]

uggh!! I just typed up this whole freaking paragraph and my computer deleted it!!!! UGGH!! this is going to be an annoying day....let me try again...but the short version as I need to go eat and tidy up..

Ok...for the third time...yes..third..my computer just froze and I had to restart..told you it was going to be an annoying day lol..

Cottleston...horrible about the car accident!!! I hope they felt like huge asses once they saw you were preggie...and I hope they have to pay for any damages..

Sparkle..acne sucks!! hopefully it will go away soon and is just a minor temporary hormone thing...

Wannabe...yay for no AF!!!! I hope you get answers soon...in the form of a dark pink line!!

Dare..yes certain old navy stores have maternity..I checked online and did the store location thing and searched for just ones that had a maternity section...it wasnt a huge selection but they had the jeans which is all I cared about...

NJ...hopefully your acne and hair will be the start of your BFP like mine was!!! it makes it so much easier to deal with knowing its for a good cause lol..

We are heading to Lowes after hubby gets home from church and are going to get drywall to start the work on the nursery!! and next month will be the wainscotting and the paint I guess..I'll be sure to post before and afters...Im 6 weeks tomorrow..yay!!!!

 

[DaretoDream]

Mrs. J- I LOVE my jeans. Hope urs are as great. Thanks for the info!

 

[wannabeprego]

@MrsJ, Wow, i cant believe you are already almost at 6 weeks, time flies by so fast!!! It is going to be so much fun working on the nursesery!!! Do you know what theme you are going to do with the nursery yet, or are you waiting to know the sex of the baby first? Be sure to share your before and after pics!!! I was online yesterday looking at nursery bedding sets, I have been in love with this jungle babies themes one for many years now, and i am so excited that they still have it in stock now, which i think could pass as gender neutral in case we decided to start decorating before we knew the sex of the baby..this is a link to the set. Jcpenney has the best nursery bedding sets i think....

https://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.a...4950477&Nao=23&PSO=0&CmCatId=70676|71676&sa=1

i am trying not to get myself to excited about being pregnant, in case the is playing a dirty trick on me and just going to show up late, but I had some creamy runny white CM, which was on my undies, i thought AF was coming, but it was the CM, I also have been having alot of runny clear CM as well. I really hope this all leads to my BFP!!!

 

[sparklebunny]

That sounds Very very good wannabe! I don't want to raise your hopes to high as i know especially what a fragile time this is but :dust !!!

I wonder how Tiff is doing?!!

 

[HappiestMom]

are you gonna get a lion rug to wannabe..lol..its too bad that isnt part of the set..its soo cute! lol.. we are doing fairy/fantasy stuff for a girl and dragon/wizard/fantasy for a boy...not Disney fairytale but just my own version lol...I love Josephine wall puzzles and plan on doing them and framing them as wall decor especially for a girl and some of her dragon ones for a boy...

the walls are gonna be sunbeam yellow so it will do for girl or boy and we can paint before we know the sex...the furniture is going to be white...and then I want non commercial stuff for the prints and stuff..so...pastel stripes, polka dots, plaids, paisleys etc...and I found some wall decals/stencils I want to do with a woodland to go along with the fairy theme...and will also do for either boy or girl..the first one are stencils which would keep me busy..and I love to mix colors and paint..and then they have a growth chart thing that goes along with it that doesnt match exactly but same theme

[wannabeprego]

@Mrsjerome, all of that stuff is super cute!!!! Those fairy prints are so pretty!!! I love all of the bright colors. I like the idea of doing stencils on the walls...hmmm..maybe I will do some of those too.... Yes, it is all so exciting!!!

Hello Ladies! I have been reading to see if i might find the answer to my question.... didn't see it, but thought i would just ask... I'm using the cbfm and it said that i ovulated on the 18th and 19th. Do you know what day i should start counting? I'm so confused because i got the egg for 2 days... I think i should be 8dpo!

 

[HappiestMom]

Hi Good....I would go with the last date it gave you and then the day after that is 1DPO thats what I did with my test strips and also I can usually feel what day I actually ovulated..so the 20th would be your 1DPO....

 

[DaretoDream]

Hun it tells you the day you should be ovulating- but you only O on one day. So whenever you get a positive dtd for 3 days. Those things only tell you when you're about to O.

Do you chart? it would probably help you out and can tell you when you O. I would say the 20th i would count as 1 dpo.

Because you don't really know the exact day.

 

[Goodwinone]

Thanks! I really like the monitor, but i realize charting would be more accurate. I ordered a thermometer from amazon and have no clue how to use it. So the 20th would make the most sense since the monitor gave me an egg twice and we all know you only ovulate 1 day.

I had a chemical pregnancy 2 cycles ago... i was devastated. My doctor recommended i use the monitor to track.

Well it's possible that you caught the surge on the one day and again on the way back down- but the temping will just confirm O and narrow it down. AS soon as you get that positive just make sure you dtd at least 3 days in a row- because there is a crazy window from the first positive - to the actual O time.
