TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[Dream143r]

Amber I remember. Hopefully mine will come just like yours. Spotting days are the same. I started at 8dpo like you. FX

OMG Dream, you do make me laugh. That list of HPTs

Of course I am 100% behind you, got everything crossed for you as always.

Hope all you preggo ladies are doing well and getting all big and bloated and bumpy!

We had the best time in Majorca, hotel was beautiful (adult only and soooo peaceful), food delicious, beaches gorgeous. My Spanish all came flooding back to me too. It was just perfect. Exactly what needed after the 18 months from hell really. We spoke a lot about where our heads are at with everything. We have different thoughts about things, but I suppose that's just life. The main thing is that we know what the other thinks. Our hotel and town where we stayed were full of Swedes who are just the most BEAUTIFUL people! Tall and blonde and tanned! Hubby and I are both blonde and blue eyed so people kept talking to us in Swedish. We decided at one point to adopt (steal from a restaurant) a Swedish kid!

A little sad to be back to reality but life goes on. Countdown is now on to when I start my nurse training. Eeeeeeek.

Oh dream this is exciting!! I hope your BFP is within a day or 2 time! And yes, anything different is actually a good sign!

Wow cheesecake Amber! Haha happy 30 weeks. I had a dream we got to come to your baby shower

Sunny- my appointment is a week from today! July 12. I woke up feeling a little cold coming on. Ugh I hope not!

 

[tbfromlv]

Steph I think we posted at the same time lol!

Welcome back! That sounds like a beautiful relaxing vacation! When does nurses training start for you?

 

[steph1607]

Haha I guess we did!

I start on September 17th and finish work on September 12th. My husband has booked off the 4 days before I start so I really want to go to Wales and climb Mount Snowdon!

 

[Dream143r]

Steph - your vacation sounds amazing! I"m soooo happy for you. That rest and relaxation does miracles right? Our resort in Bahamas was also adult only, makes such a big difference in terms of the vibe. We loved it. So glad you had a great time. And I think you're right now just open communication and knowing how each other feels and thinks. You don't have to be on the exact same page all the time. I think that's part of growing together.

There will be lots of excitement in September in our group then with both Steph and Amber. Can't wait.

OMG, Yes Amber, invite us all to your baby shower.

 

[SarahTTC3]

Dream- Crossing fingers!!!! I hope this is it for you.

Steph- Your vacay sounds wonderful!

AFM- AF is due to show up today... I can feel that she is coming. Maybe next month.

 

[Dream143r]

Ah Sarah - I hope your wrong and she doesn't come.

 

[SarahTTC3]

I have been getting little waves of nausea and I keep hoping maybe I am not out... But then I feel like she is about to make her appearance down there.... So I really do believe we are out this month.

How are you feeling, Dream?

 

[Dream143r]

CD2

Baseline ultrasound and bloodwork tomorrow, CD3 at 815am

 

[SunnyBe]

Ah Dream

 

[SunnyBe]

Steph, sounds like you had an absolutely wonderful trip! So glad you got to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and beaches.

I know the odds are slim (and timing isn't great), but are you actively preventing or just not trying, not preventing?

Just looked up Snowdon, wow. Gorgeous!!

 

[tbfromlv]

Dang it! So sorry Dream! This will be medicated cycle, right? Maybe the Clomid will be just the boost you need!

 

[SarahTTC3]

I'm sorry Dream. AF still hasn't shown up yet but she is coming. I did test last night just to see... BFN. The disappointment wasn't that bad cause I already felt like she was coming in the next couple of days. Guess I was still holding on to some hope. Now just playing the waiting game with her. I think I will try testing this month and see if I can get any results. To me it adds some stress but I would like to know when I O officially. Or at least around the time I do. Thank Goodness it is Friday! I am ready to get off work and go shopping with the mother in law for our oldest son's birthday tomorrow. He will be 17. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

 

[steph1607]

Oh wow Sarah, will be super cute having a baby with much older siblings- they will dote in him or her!

Dream I’m sorry this wasn’t your month. I’m with TB, hopefully the clomid will be just what you need. I know myself (and some others I spoke to on here) had horrible mood swings on clomid, so just be prepared to feel like a bit of a bitch for a few days!

Sunny, Snowdon does look beautiful doesn’t it! No, I went back on the pill after the miscarriage. More to actually give myself periods than anything else really, as they are non existent without and my old gynae doctor said that I would have to take norethisterone a few times a year to trigger a bleed and keep the lining healthy etc etc. And also yes, although the chances are pretty much zero, it wouldn’t not be sensible to become pregnant over the next couple of years with one salary and studies.

I know none of you care, but please think of England in the World Cup quarter final tomorrow! We have all gone crazy with a heat wave and World Cup fever!

 

[SarahTTC3]

Steph- The 17 year old is his and then we have a 10 year old son that is mine. This will be our first together. Even though we claim each other kids. The 10 year old (Briar is his name) wants a little brother or sister. He prefers a brother, but Mom wants a girl. I will take whatever is given to me.

Nursing school will be so exciting. Sending good wishes your way. It is hard but will be totally worth it.

 

[Dream143r]

Monitoring nurse told me this morning the doc changed my prescription from clomid to letrozole. Not sure why, but I trust his decisions. I start today. CD3-7. Monitoring CD10

 

[AmberR]

So sorry Dream, I hope letrozole does the trick for you!

Steph- sounds like a lovely vacation. How exciting to be starting nursing school! I'm a nurse, they are pretty awesome

Tb- too funny! You all are welcome to come to my baby shower, if anyone happens to be in Oregon on July 28th! Haha. So excited for your appointment. Only 5 more days!

Sarah- sorry AF showed up! Hope tracking goes well for you this month!

 

[tbfromlv]

Dream I think that’s better. A lot of people I’ve noticed respond better to letrozole than Clomid. Clomid also has worse side effects (at least that I noticed!). Plus you already know you do all of it on your own so I think it’s good you’re doing letrozole.

Amber- my best friend moved to Portland this year and is having their engagement celebration the 27th. Had we not gone to Prague I would have been there so funny!

I am really starting to get anxious about the appointment this week. I’m not feeling scared or negative, just want to get the full reassurance and all the blood work and also hopefully get to stop taking the heparin injections!

 

[Dream143r]

tb - appointment is wednesday right? almost there.

sunny - Happy 18 weeks!

These Letrozole pills are so tiny, like little BC pills. I guess the same idea, it's all hormonal. I don't know why I was expecting giant horse pills. Hard to believe these tiny things are going to do anything lol.
