TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

Oh dream that’s wonderful! Are you going on a cruise or just straight there? My DH and I went on our honeymoon there on a cruise and we loved every second of it! Maybe you two will be celebrating more than just your anniversary!

 

[AmberR]

Dream- the Bahamas sound lovely, how fun!!

 

[Dream143r]

Oh I would love it if we ended up celebrating more than just our anniversary. We have been there before in passing on a cruise as well but we've never vacations on the island before so it will be our first.

Next monitoring day is CD9, next Wednesday. I'm also going for acupuncture that afternoon. I'm looking forward to updating my ND on what's been going on.

I'm going to PaintNite with my BFF later today so that will be a good time. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[SunnyBe]

That sounds wonderful Dream! Sometimes all you need is the beach

Tb, until when are you taking BCP's? Hope AF follows soon after. I can't believe the school year is almost over, how did that happen?!

Amber, have fun this weekend!!!

 

[tbfromlv]

Today will be my last day on BCP. Typically after taking progesterone (which I know isn’t exactly the same) I started AF 2.5 days after the last one so FXd it’s about the same here. If I can recall when I used to take BCP regularly in years passed, it was the same.

Yes I cannot believe it- this school year has FLOWN by. Which is great because I’m exhausted lol I had 28 kiddos this year. Yikes. Normally I’m around 19-22. Yesterday we went on a field trip to Wonders of Wilflife. I don’t know if you have heard of it but it’s the Bass Pro Shops new Aquarium and Wildlife museum (that took only 10 years to open lol) and it has gotten a lot of National publicity. We had so much fun and it was pretty incredible there. But boy do field trips wear me out!

How are you pregger ladies feeling? Just anxiously awaiting next appointments??

Sarah how are you doing?

 

[SunnyBe]

It was always around 2.5 days for me too when I was on BCP's. I hope AF makes her entrance early next week Tb Can you believe that in less than a week (hopefully) you'll start your meds? And you'll be PUPO in just a few weeks after that? So exciting.

Wonders of Wildlife looks amazing!! The kids must have loved it too. I can only imagine how tiring it must be to watch all those kiddos. Luckily, a well-deserved summer break is coming up very soon.

AFM, I go back and forth between being excited and scared. I keep reading about people with missed miscarriages when they go in for their first scan and I'm just terrified of that happening. These days I feel more like an observer of my life than an actual participant... I don't know how to explain it. Feels like I can't really enjoy things until I know how it's progressing in there. Ten more days...!

Have a great weekend girls!

How do you add your charts to the signature?

 

[Bre1990]

Never mind I figured it out

 

[Dream143r]

Sorry to see CD1 there Bre

 

[tbfromlv]

Last BCP was taken last night! AF, my door is open this week!

 

[Dream143r]

CD5 and she just left me TB. So I'll send her your way.

 

[tbfromlv]

Woke up to spotting! Little earlier than I expected but it is still just fine! I’ve never been so excited to see AF lol!

 

[SunnyBe]

Yay!!! So glad that things seem to go right according to plan. Hope AF will be there in full force later today or tomorrow.

Amber, how did the reveal go? Tell us all about it!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Just one more week until the ultrasound.

 

[AmberR]

Tb- glad AF had arrived for you!

Sunny- only a week until your scan! Time seems to be flying by for me, but it probably doesn't seem that way to you!

The gender reveal party went great! It actually got down to the last balloon! I think everyone got a chance to throw a dart twice. It was actually so much fun! The weather was beautiful too. We had about 30 people over and the kids ran and played in the backyard with our dogs. It was a fun but exhausting day! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[SunnyBe]

That sounds awesome Amber!!! Glad you had fun

 

[Dream143r]

TB - Yay for AF! So funny to be cheering for her.

Sunny - Happy 10 weeks!

Amber - sounds like the party was perfect. Glad to hear it went well.

CD7 over here just hanging out.

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber how fun! Sounds like it was a wonderful day!

Sunny eek one week!

I’m nervous because I’m supposed to start stims tomorrow but they sometimes take a few days to respond to my email soooo I hope all is well for me to go ahead lol

 

[SunnyBe]

Keep in mind that it has to be full flow before 3PM to count as CD1. If it's still spotting and isn't full flow yet before 3, count tomorrow as CD1.

Now that you're cycling you can expect them to respond within a few hours (or call them in case you haven't heard from them yet). So exciting Are you going to do the injections yourself or is your DH helping you?

 

[tbfromlv]

well it has definitely been heavier than spotting but not like a heavy period either. But I don’t expect there to be much lining after such a short time when my lining took 6 weeks to get to a 6mm lol so I’m confident in calling this CD 1. Although I’d rather cd 1 Be tomorrow for timing purposes.. maybe it got heavier after 3

DH is definitely doing the injections! Not it!

 

[SunnyBe]

Ahh so sweet that your DH will do the injections In case you don't have a lot of skin or fat on your stomach to inject it into, make sure you sit down and bend over a bit so you/he can really try and grab a piece of skin. I read that some prefer lying down but that would have never worked for me.

Dream, follow-up appointment tomorrow? How are you feeling? Did you get your CD3 results back? And what about the SA?

Amber, your appointment is on Thursday right? Are you feeling a bit more confident about things?
