I just wanted to add, One good thing is that me and DH had lastnight before we went to bed and it felt like most of the stayed up in there for most of the night... so we are in good shape this month for covering all of our bases...I may try to have again tonight and than after that I will just relax for the rest of the month...so we will see

Feeling MUCH better after going to the MD. The doctor was very pleasant, and this was just a consultation to sit down and discuss what's going to happen. First, he went over my history, then DH. Talked to us about where to go from here. They usually do lab work (TONS) and a pelvic ultrasound on CD3, a post-coital test on the day of, or the day after ovulation (to check CM quality, and if there's any viable to be found), and an endometrial biopsy ten days after ovulation to check the viability of the endometrium, as to how receptive it is to accepting a pregnancy. Luckily, with this cycle, I'm only on CD10, so we can do the post-coital test, and the endometrial biopsy this cycle. DH is also getting his semen analysis this Saturday!
It's just nice to have a plan, and to know we're going somewhere. FX'd!

Congrats Lindsay! How exciting that things are moving and to have a plan! Once I have a plan I feel so much better! Good Luck with all the tests!

awww thats a great idea....and hey it might have taken a little bit but i guess that girl outfit did bring you good luck they are both really cute but when i look at them i get a really good vibe from the girl outfit are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

 

[HappiestMom]

Oh I am def hoping and feeling girl...lol..one reason I bought a girl one for good luck lol...I was going to have us both be surprised and take them with me to the scan and have the US lady just bag the right one up and then put the other one in another bag..so he and I could both be surprised but realized they do a 3D scan so Im proooollyyy gonna be able to tell the sex lol...so I'll just surprise hubby

 

[sparklebunny]

Erica, How cute are those little outfits! My eyes went straight to the girl outfit too! and to tbh i've always thought of your little bean as a girl! Wierd huh! It's gonna be so odd to me if it turns out to be a boy! But either way it's gonna be great!

NJ that sounds brilliant. Like spunky said, it's always good to have a plan eh! Good Luck XX

I love the outfits Mrsjerome, they are super cute!! That is a wonderful idea surprising hubby with the outfit to reveal the sex of the baby!!!

Me and DH had again lastnight so i think we have a good chance this month since we timed our very well this cycle!!! I am going to try to avoid testing early with HPT's until I get to CD 33, if i can stand it because that is my longest cycle since i have been tracking my periods for over a year now, I am going to try not to be upset if or when AF shows this month, hopefully since i have been so busy with work I wont have time to obsess over my BFP, and testing early and all of that, it might be hard to resist when i have a brand new 50 pack of the internet cheapys HPT's upstairs, LOL Well here I go with the 2WW.....

 

[HappiestMom]

ha ha sparkle...its gonna be weird for me too if its a boy..just coz Ive felt girl since I found out...and every baby dream I have is a girl...

wannabe..we'll be here to talk you out of testing if you need it...do any of your good friends know you are TTC? if so I would just have them hide your tests at their house so you cant get to them and tell them when CD33 would be for you lol..that way you wont be tempted lol..and they can hand the tests over when its time ....

hmmm, the best I can do is have DH hide the HPT's on me... Nobody that is around here has any idea that I am TTC, only a few of my family members and close friends do and they live in another state (the state i grew up in) so they cant hide the tests for me.... Maybe I will just have him hide my store bought FRER and Answer brand tests from me and just use the internet cheapy 50 pack if I get an itch to POAS, LOL!!!

 

[HappiestMom]

ha ha..I just took the outfits downstairs to show hubby what I bought and he almost started crying lol...lol....and then fussed at me for laughing at him..and he just came upstairs and said..you know Im gonna cry when the baby comes out right..lol..and I just starting laughing again lol...its soo cute!!

Awwww, that is so cute and so sweet...... Did you start crying to hun.......You two must both be over the moon with joy, having your first baby is so exciting!!!!

 

[HappiestMom]

I was crying from laughing at him lol..he tries to be soo tough but he cries at everything lol..lol..I know Im going to bawl my eyes out when the baby gets here..and prolly when we find out the sex too...uggghh I cant wait till May/June!!!

 

[Spunky]

I haven't picked out a coming home outfit yet, and am starting to think about getting a hospital bag together, but the nursery is still far from being done! We got our car seat and stroller in the mail yesterday, so weird to think we're actually going to be bringing home a baby!

Here's my naked bump at 29 weeks 4 days: (I was a size 10/12 US pre-pregnancy and so far have only gained 8-9lbs!)

 

[NJAngelAPN]

I'm back to the OPKs. I hate these stupid things, LOL. So much easier with the watch. The fertility MD wants me to start with OPKs on CD11 (today). When I get a positive, we're to BD that night, and then I go in the next morning for the mucous test. It's a weird thought that someone is examining my cervix right after BD...embarrassing isn't the right word, but you know what I mean. He said the OV watch should be good, but he wants me to use the OPKs as well. Should be interesting to see how the two correlate. I usually O on CD17 or 18, so we're down to another countdown! This is actually going to make this 2WW much easier.
DH has to take in his on Saturday, so he has to abstain for two days. Thinking may try to get in some non-fertile-window BD tonight so he doesn't feel used.
It's so hard - I really only have two friends (who are NOT close friends) who had to see a fertility specialist, or had any real issues. Everyone else is part of the "It happens when you don't think about it" camp. Makes this very difficult as I don't have a huge support group. Yes, my friends are good, but they aren't very understanding of what we're going through; especially DH. He is having a really difficult time with the whole thought that something could be wrong with him.

 

[HappiestMom]

awww..its soooo cute hun!!!!! mine is def not going to be that cute lol..Im like a size 18 normally..actually a size 16 in old navy maternity jeans lol..but yeah..def not going to look that good...I dont see any stretch marks or anything!!!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Wow, Chelsea, from the front you seem like you're really carrying high! Such a cute bump! I can't believe it's just a little more than two months left!
