Those that TTC together, Stick together!! 4 BABY BOYS/3 BABY GIRLS

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Good luck mrs! What do u have to do to pick out donations? Do u meet the person? Or just see a pic and decide off of looks, health history etc?

And yes.. I'm just going to take it easy and wait it out. I'm positive af will come, just because she always does.. Still have good pma tho. After 3yrs of semi trying (not protecting) tothe last year of charting etc.. I'm starting to get a "whatever" attitude. Just so I don't get disappointed. Becauseif I sit and think about it I get a real attitude and am like " 34 cycles and nothing?? Seriously wtf" so I'm avoiding that rampage and staying happy and calm. It seems to be the better between the two.

 

[MrsMM24]

The whatever attitude is what got alot of the ladies here PG... GL... I wish I could just do that and relax, buuuuttt....

No, we chose not to know the donor. We saw pics, health history and especially baby pics... Basically added the new donations since the MC in July, and just wanted to get as close as possible to the same look as regular donor and our daughter. We want them to be as closely physically related as possible in case the spermies from hers don't catch the eggy....

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Update: The cm stopped Late this am. Whenever I wipe now there no color to my cm at all.
Just waiting for it to come back. I've been emotional (normal close to af and most other times throughout day) lol
Got pissed at dh cuz he didn't kiss me goodbye the way I wanted him to. I want lovins, not church kisses damnit. And put some enthusiasm in to it Jeeze! I've just decided that he's going to have to work for the next one, since he thinks my kind of kisses are gross. Maybe if I hold out long enough he'll smooch me the way I like to and WANT to do it. Lol
Ugh sorry for that^ his lack of estrogen pisses me off sometimes. I love him with everything, but why don't men like giving lovins.. And if some do.. Then I need a little help with my jockish macho man who's to tough to do it. Lol tips?

Thanks for the ramble! Off to make myself dinner and cuddle with my fur babies

 

[BrandysBabies]

MrsI!! I am so excited for you! I am hoping and praying this is it!!

AFM- My little corner of the world is getting ready to flip upside down!!! DH and I have both been offered a job with the same company in Atlanta?!?!? Up until now I have been a stay at home mommy, but this offer is too good to pass up. It means everything is going to change for us. My best friend owns a company that does contract work for Lowes. And he has more work than he can handle and also needs someone to do the books. So DH is going to work with him out in the field and I will work from a home office doing the books (ten yrs of banking exp.) This is going to set us up to be making about 4times what we ever have before and we couldnt be more excited and it couldnt have come at a better time. The catch is we have to move to Atlanta NEXT WEEK!! And I will have to get insurance as soon as we get there for Zach and the baby. I will be going to my appts here on the 22nd and 23rd just in case it takes a while to get set up there at least I will have the NT scan out of the way. So, if you don't hear from me for a few days next weekend thats why. I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving in advance!!! I can't believe I have been on this thread a year now!

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Brandi! that's awesome! Wow yeah! Way too good to pass up. Good luck with the packing, moving and settling and we shall talk to you and Ur lo soon be safe

Rosa- I see u how are u doing?

Afm- just finished dinner and now af feels like she's on her way.. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

 

[nypage1981]

Good luck brandy!

Mrs I hope is not af, I thought I wS getting af w my bfp too....

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

No af.. Yet

 

[MrsMM24]

MRSI, I hope AF stays far far away.... Estrogen, we have soooo much of it at our house hoping the new addition we are trying for will bring some testosterone (about the only amount either of us are willing to deal with )

BRANDYS, AWESOME!!! we are trying to make the move to ATL in the next 3 years. This sound so exciting for you, and you are soooo right, couldn't be a better time to begin increasing the income. All will fall into place, be careful moving next week!

AFM...Not much on this end, anxious, CD11. First donations begin on CD16, CD17, CD20, and CD21.... Thanksgiving threw it off a little, but my OV days have been CD17, 18, and 21 and the average of the three is CD19. Watching my chart closely and willing to squeeze in more donations if they become avail.... continuing temping, charting, WAITING.... GL FXD!

 

[ready4baby]

Mrs, FX for you!!!

Brandy, that's great news! Didn't you guys move fairly recently? Or maybe I'm remembering that wrong. I can't imagine packing up & moving in a week. Yikes, but it sounds like a great $$ opportunity. Congrats!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Yes we did just move to Orlando in March of this year! Lol! Before taking this job Kevin was in commercial construction so we moved about once a year. We have moved 6 times in 6yrs of marriage! SC, FL, TX, OH, back to Daytona Beach Fl, and now Orlando FL. This move means staying in one place from now on and raising our family. The only hard part is that all this time we have been traveling with my family as my dad worked for the same construction company. In moving to Atlanta, I wont have them right there anymore and that is going to be very hard for me.

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

I Remember your mo if last year. U were pg at the time and this time too so lucky u for not having heavy lifting. But I imagine that will be a little tough for Ur hubby havingto over compensate especially in the crunch time you had to deal with!

Mrsm- yea imagine too much estrogen could drive ya crazy sometimes. I have 3 other sisters and we wanted to kill eachother growing up at times. I just wished my husband had a little of it so he could understand my overwhelming emotional personality. I'm emotionally high maintenance so if I'm not getting the lovings I want then I fear something is wrong and cling more. My twin and her hubby can go weeks without having sex and go a day or two without a kiss and be happy and content.
Wish I could. I went to therapy for a year last year.this wa before you joined this thread but the other girls can probably remember my freakouts when my husband had no desire to bd for long periods of time.
So I've been thinking about going back to therapy to help with my insecurity issues. And of course to learn new techniques to talk to dh about my issues without him getting annoyed at me wanting to "talk" all the time lol. Ahi the joys of being a woman.

Lots of details in this post. Apologies for the tmi's. Do u guys remember Annie lmao! Telling me how annoying I was and that I talk all the time. Hehe its just my personality. And thank u ready for stickin up for me on that comment!

Minus the few months of me being gone to take care of my stepmom and dad it's amazing to me that we've all been friends for over a year now! You girls Rock!!!!

 

[nypage1981]

LOL about Annie. Omg i just peed thinking of that whole scene!!!

Speaking of a year and being friends and stuff. happy 800th page!! lol. i like the number 800.

It would be interesting to read some day some of the earlier days on this thread! This is great memory making when you really think of it. To submerge yourself into how you were feeling at that moment of what you were writing about. Crazy!!!

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Lol true that!!

Yellow cm today for me. And af cramps. Just a few days and we'll find something out.

 

[rosababy]

Rosa- I see u how are u doing?

lol! I'm fine. Not much to report, just lurking. Shots start Friday. Bring on the hot flashes, acne, exhaustion...I'm a walking sex bomb.
Acupuncture is going well. Retrieval is set for December 9, which means the beta will be the 23rd. Either the best or the worst Christmas ever...

Lots of details in this post. Apologies for the tmi's. Do u guys remember Annie lmao! Telling me how annoying I was and that I talk all the time. Hehe its just my personality. And thank u ready for stickin up for me on that comment!

O.M.G. That was some drama! I think of her often...I wonder if she has a new username or something...

I remember when we got to 100 pages, and thinking wow, 100 pages! 800!!!! Love it!

 

[ready4baby]

Annie! That was such a riot...what a nut job, despite how nice everyone tried to be (for awhile anyway). It really has been a long time...I remember joining bnb & soon after, this thread. There's not always a lot to discuss but, when there is, I really having this forum and you all for support and advice!

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Yea- life gets boring at times.. That or busy. But it's nice to have a place to come too to talk about this stuff. I tried talking to my twin about it yesterday and it just wasn't the same..

13 dpo- (or so I believe from the day my bbs started hurting) if af isn't here tomorrow then I'll test.
Last night my cm was yellowish. No red or brown color to it at all. Just yellow. I kept thinking af was getting me. But alas, she is not

Time for work. I'm in great need of a coffee.

 

[MrsMM24]

MRSI, that sounds like ANNIE was a trip on this thread, wish I could have been here for that.... LOL As for your long post, no prob Hun, totally love to read the posts, as you all can see I am clearly an addict on this site.... I am like your twin, but DW is like you, we ahve been together for over 16 yrs so we have invested in therapy because that was an issue at some point, but in therapy we have learned soooo much over the years as we grew up together as well so that was something that needed attention. I think therapy would be a good idea, if not just the issues you feel you have, but the stress of TTC. I say go for it. The no right now is awesome by the way, I hope there is some BFP good news in the next few days from you!!!

HAPPY 800th Page ladies!!!

AFM...Getting more anxious as I am looking at my chart form as it has in the past 2 cycles. Donations are right around the corner and I am ready! CD16, CD17, CD20, and CD21.... Then enjoy my holiday eating, and worry about the DPO afterwards!! I have CD23 on standby.... Watching my chart closely.... continuing temping, charting, WAITING.... GL FXD!

 

[loveinbinary]

:wave: Hi ladies!! I promise I haven't vanished forever lol. There's just been a lot going lately. I'm working full time, taking care of my wonderful peanut, enrolling in school full time, and to top it off I had an infection or something on my foot for a couple weeks that had me in a lot of pain. Had to have a chunk of nail removed from each side of my big toe. So now that my foot in doing better I'm sick, caught whatever stupid bug is going around.

I found out the other day that my sister is pregnant. She was trying while I was still pregnant with Roman. I knew as soon as I had him she'd get pregnant and BAM 2 weeks later she was. It's horrible but I'm jealous of her. Tuesday Roman was officially 3 months old and the time has just flown by! I want him to be tiny and brand new again. I have baby fever but it's going to be a while before we try again.

Roman is getting so big! He's 12lbs 15oz! He giggles and smiles all day long and tries to sit up on his own. I've never been happier in my life. I can't believe what an amazing sleeper he is! He's been sleeping through the night (7-8hrs) since about 5ish weeks and in the past week he's been sleeping 9-11hrs! first night he slept 10hrs I thought he died. Every day I look at him and know this is what I was made to do.

 

[Deethehippy]

Nice to hear that you are doing good Love

I went to the miscarriage specialist but they got my notes wrong and thought i had had 3 miscarriages in a row (i had my two kids after the first one) so refused to see/treat me I was sure i made it all clear.
All i can do now is TTC and if god forbid i have another MC i will stand a chance of some proper tests/help.

Hope everyone else is ok

 

[repogirl813]

dee that is horrible, there shouldn't be a number put on it for you to be able to have testing done to give you the piece of mind.

Love, glad all is going well and Roman is such a happy baby that is awsome, i so can't wait til Kyleigh starts smiling all the time.

MRS. best of luck on your donations and my fx for you.

MRSI. no af is a good sign fx the witch stays away for you hun.

ROSA, good luck in the coming weeks as you starts your shots and go forward, hopefully hormones and so forth don't affect you too badly as you go through this.

afm, Kyleigh will be 4 weeks on saturday already, can't believe it as time has just flown by now that she is here compared to being pregnant. Been very busy lately, i get to hop on and stalk, just don't always get to post, sorry. going this evening for a family picture so come 4 when DH and other 2 kiddos get home things will get hectic here as I try to get everyone ready and out the door. Baby dust to those of you still waiting!!!!
