Together we're strong & ready to try again

[3Minions]

Natalie, I would keep up with the exercise if I were you. I have a friend who is a pretty high level athlete (she's actually in the Guinness Book of WW for stroller running now) and she did marathons her entire first pregnancy - she even phoned her doctor to see if she could run another one after her water broke! She's pregnant again and continuing to keep at it. I was told that as long as your heart rate stays under 140 you're not doing anything wrong. I think the whole hb thing is debated all over the place, but google google google Find something you're comfortable with, get yourself a heart rate monitor, and just don't do any heavy lifting or weird diets. ;-) Or push ups. I really messed my wrists up doing pushups at 35+ weeks, lol....

 

[Nataliek]

lol - I will make a note of that. I am a weight lifter at heart, that's my only thing. I tend to lift heavy but will have to just lift lighter with the mindset that I am just doing this to keep in shape, not to transform my body at this time. Fitness is a real hobby of mine, so not carrying on with my routine gets depressing. Especially when my husband is active. Just want to sit around on the couch eating chinese food lol. I will just continue my workouts, but on a lighter scale.

The OPK's though, I think they make the process worse for me. I am going to use what I have and then that's it for the next couple of months. OR at least until we see what the fertility specialists have to say.

Mel - Sorry to know about AF.I know how a month matters when you ttc.
When are you guys getting married?I hope time passes soon and you get a bump.

Rahma - I love your attitude..you are a strong woman!Gym books etc really help to keep the mind happy and occupied.I too did the same with my last miscarriage.Bad days are inevitable but the way you are skimming the good part even in bad time is really appreciable.

3Minions - Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me.I really needed that.

Bumblee - How are you feeling today?When are you planning to test?

Natalie- My doctor said it is ok to workout during ttc and pregnancy if you are already active but better not to start something new when pregnant.Body takes time to adjust to any change which may affect the pregnancy.As you are athletic and active working out would give you better fitness and a way to be engaged.

Leah - I hope you get an answer soon, either a O or AF.

AFM - My IUI went well.All 3 follicles were ruptured and free fluid was seen.My lining was 9.2mm, thickness wise ok but not the perfect one as my doctor wanted to see.The sperm sample was good motility and count wise but morphology is way pretty less at 5%.I wonder why this morphology is deteriorating day by day.
I am officially going to enter 2WW now and I know time is going to pass very slowly now but I am sure you ladies will keep me occupied!

Did you see this Natalie? https://www.thestar.com/life/health..._she_pregnant_weightlifter_draws_outrage.html

 

[Nataliek]

I did see that! It really is crazy and I do believe that our bodies are capable of a lot. I know if I'm healthy and the baby is healthy, it will stick. I just want to be pregnant right now, am impatient!

 

[3Minions]

Me too!!!!

Moon - The big day is June 7th! Less than 7 months away! I was due Feb 21 before I miscarried and we were planning around having a baby there, now it's back to our original plan. I hope we do have a bump by then, but if not I'm ok with that!

I had a dream last night I had a baby and kept forgetting to feed them. OMG! lol It was a nightmare I woke up sweating lol.

 

[Nataliek]

I am in limbo with this ovulation thing this month. I have absolutely no idea when I will. I don't want to wear myself and my husband out this month with too much sex. That's something I never thought I would say lol. I might just have to go with the flow this month until my cycle regulates. Or I will just myself completely berserk.

 

[LeahLou]

Yay! It goes by so fast Mel! I still pinch myself when I wake up next to my hubby! Hows your wedding planning going??
Sorry about your nightmare! I'm sure you'll be a great mom

Natalie I know how you feel. I have no idea if I ovulated or not. We just went with the flow and probably dtd every other day because we could! but DH and I aren't into the whole hardcore TTC. He think I'm crazy with all this temping and opks but I also want to know how my body works! Like you said, just go with the flow

 

[Nataliek]

Yeah I'm the same with wanting to know how my body is functioning. I don't temp and don't plan to start for the very reason I would drive myself bonkers. OPKs are enough for me.

 

[LeahLou]

You're smart! I'm mainly just curious with temping to see if I can get a pattern and then I'll stop. My doctor advised me to try it so I am

 

[3Minions]

Natalie, stick to that. I started mid month because I wanted to see if I was ovulating or not (I've never had a problem before so I don't know why I would start now) and my temps aren't doing what they're supposed to (even though I bought a cheap thermometer that I'm pretty sure isn't working properly) so I'm freaking. Lol.

 

[Nataliek]

Yeah @leah, good idea. I just know myself too well to know if I added something else into the mix, it would have a negative/stressful affect on me. So for my own emotional well being (and everyone around me for that matter lol) I am just going to OPK.

@3minions. I could use ten OPKs a day and analyze them left right and centre. I would be temping the same amount I can see it now! lol. I am in total limbo right now so am a little discouraged but am sure that will pass by the time I get my period.

 

[mel28nicole]

Sorry school is kicking my butt right now!

Leah- it's kinda at a stand still haha. We got a lot of stuff out of the way. We are trying to figure out a location for the ceremony. Not sure whether to do a church or try an outdoor wedding. We have a place booked for the reception, DJ booked, cake planned, food planned, bridesmaids dresses picked out and I'm paying on my wedding dress. With him working out of town so much it's difficult!

I'm already counting myself out next month lol. I ovulated oct 27th and BD two days before that. I thought we would have caught it but guess not. I'm expected to ovulate right after thanksgiving and my fiancé will be home 4 days in a row before being gone 2-4 weeks for "flow back." Not sure if we will catch an egg this time or not. Gas well business sucks but it's great money. Just wish I got to see him more I hate sleeping alone lol

Hi ladies well pretty sure am out did a test this morning 14dpo & nothing bfn. Suppose ill just have to sit back & wait for AF to arrive. Here's hope in for an Xmas BFP.

Am kinda in the same situation as u Mel. Well time scale not as tight. We are getting married 2nd April 2015, if I fall pregnant next month baby will be born in August & ill have 6-7 months to shape up.

[Nataliek]

oh @Rhama that's great news!!! I am so happy things seem to be getting back on track for you. As much as the wait can be agonizing, I secretly love dreaming of the possibilities. It does make me hopeful.

I am still in limbo, I thought I might ovulate today but no. If I go by my normal cycle before the loss, I would be ovulating next Tues/Wed.

Congrats on your weddings @Mel and Bumblebee! So exciting! I remember getting married, what an exciting experience.

@Bumblebee. Hang in there, I have gotten a positive until I was a day after my period was due. You never know!!!

 

[mel28nicole]

Thanks ladies! I was due in February and I figured that would give me 3 months to shape up. Now I haven't done anything and I feel like I should be trying to lose weight lol. My dress size is bigger on me but it has a corset back so I can tighten it. I really need to tone my arms haha

I'm so close to being done! My last final is December 13th and I'll be graduating! As long as I can get this stupid thesis done haha
