TTC #1 -- Need a buddy!

[rducky]

Rosa, did you test? I would definitely test if I were you. I hope you were able to get in touch with the nurse. Let us know.

 

[EnglishGirl]

Rosa, you have to test. Then at least you know what's going on!!
Keep us posted and fx for you!

Hugs xx

Negative. Oh well. Round 3 of clomid starts tonight, I guess.

 

[flyingduster]

Aww Rosa, that sucks! I hope they can figure out what's up though... GOOD LUCK!!!!!



AFM, I heard the heartbeat for the very first time today! I'm STILL crying over it. lol! I recorded it with my camera (well, I videoed the wall of the room! lol) as hubby wasn't able to be there:

I'm sorry to hear Rosa, thinking of you......

Today I'm not doing much, my lo woke up during the night
And was very upset so I took her in my bed as dh is away. That meant
a wake up at 6 this morning.... She was singing songs to make me
Open my eyes )
Good start of the day though!
Enjoy your weekend xxx

Hi everyone. Sorry for the absence. Tornados knocked out our power plant so we were without power and therefore means of communication for a while. More info on that in my journal.

English, how scary!! Glad you're ok and the pregnancy is ok. Take care of yourself and the little one!

Rosa, so sorry about the booo!!! How many rounds of Clomid are you going to be on?

SM, how are things going for you?

 

[rosababy]

Sideways, I'm so relieved to hear that you are okay. When we were driving to Florida, 95 was a wreck. SO much tornado damage all over. I thought immediately of you.

I'm okay. I started my 3rd round of clomid on Friday. I'm going to start baby aspirin tomorrow, since my af was only 1.5 days...that can't be normal. I've read that clomid can thin the lining. I'm calling my doc tomorrow, too, to see what he has to say about it.

Rosa - Hope your doctor can give some answers. But at least your fertility appt is coming up soon..

AFM - Well, I got over my "feeling down" days, now feeling pretty good. My DH and I have been working hard on our yards and gardens and its been really nice weather as well. So after a hard days work, sitting out on the patio and sipping some wine has been fun

We went to a home show yesterday and got an idea to get a small hot tub.. (we had really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub when we went on our little trip in the beginning of April so had thought about it since then).. We'll see what happens there..

But, if it works out that I get a BFP on or near my birthday (the timing is about right) then all focus will change of course.

In truth though, the thought of getting pregnant again still scares me a little, because it will be instant stress and worry (unless hopefully things are completely different and I get a positive feeling from the start).. oh well..

Hi Ladies!

Just thought I would stop by and give you all a little update.... I went to the specialist and she decided not to put me on any medication at this time because my blood work results came back really good.... So she recommended me to stop smoking, diet and exercise, drink lots of water (1 gallon) and to start BBT and if we still have no luck in 6 months than she's going to refer me to a fertility specialist so then I can start Clomid. AF showed her face on April 3rd, bd around my estimated fertile period and then two weeks later I spotted for a few days. I was expecting AF May 3rd but she hasn't showed yet. So I am thinking that maybe the hormone medication my Gyno gave me to stop the bleeding in February helped put me back on track and (not trying to jinx it) that I could be pregnant right now.... The only symptoms I could think of being related to pregnancy that I have is being a little nauseous, light headed and heartburn. But I'm trying not to get all crazy about it and just go with the flow.

I hope you all are doing well!!

 

[flyingduster]

Oh bby!!! Have you tested?? FX for you hun, and GOOD LUCK!

 

[BbyLove5410]

Thank you flying! No not yet.... I'm not too sure when I should test....
How are you and baby doing?

 

[rducky]

Fingers crossed for you, Bby!

How's everyone else?

 

[Sideways 8]

awesome Bby! I have my fingers crossed for you!

hope everyone else is well... this thread is losing momentum

 

[SMFirst]

I posted on May 2 but no one replied

 

[Sideways 8]

OMG SM I can't believe I missed that somehow?? Sorry hon

I LOVE hot tubs. I miss them. I still get in my bathtub with hot water though, ahhhh it's so relaxing. I'm very glad that you're feeling better all around too. Where are you in your cycle?

 

[SMFirst]

Today is CD15 for me (and for Rosa too coincidentally).. We finally DTD precisely every other day this time around, and used preseed so I'm hopeful...

 

[flyingduster]

Bby, if you expected AF on may 3rd, and you're confident of that date (give or take a couple of days even) and she hasn't arrived, I'd be testing now!!! lol. You're way over due for AF if she's this late aren't you?? Even if it's a BFN you at least can know what's happening a little more (either your dates are wrong and it's too early still, or you're not preg!) but if it's a BFP.... oohhh!!!! Good luck and baby dust to you!!!


Sm I'm sooo sorry I missed your post too hun!! Ohhh I love hot tubs too! It's coming into winter here too so I LOVE a long hot bath (ok, not too hot now!) to warm myself up in the evening before bed... mmm!! When I'm further along and it's safer (though I think it's pretty much ok now) I'll make use of mum's hot tub when we go up there I think, especially when I get big and heavy, will be nice to have the weight held up I think! LOL!


AFM, I'm just sitting around waiting really. Ok, not sitting around, I'm working my ass off to get some money into the business so it can maintain itself when I have to cut back right at the end! I've found someone to hire now (at last!) so she'll be starting next week, will train her up so she can start taking some workload off me as I get bigger, but hopefully will still keep enough money coming in to cover everything... we'll see I guess! I can't feel any baby movement yet, but loads of other women don't start feeling it properly until 20 weeks anyway, and because I'm a bigger build (ie rather overweight!) it is common for it to take longer to feel the movements too... I have my next scan in 11 days though, and I'm super excited about it!!! NOT finding out the gender though!!!



love and hugs to everyone, and heaps of babydust and crossed fingers!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

I'm still here, just lurking. Not much to report. Bd'ing at the right times, trying not to think about ttc. I'm looking for a new job, so busy updating resume and portfolio, finding openings, making phone calls and emails, etc.

 

[Sideways 8]

wow Rosa I didn't know you were looking for a new job. Is everything ok?

Oh yes, just sick of my principal being irrational and not supportive of our program. There are LOADS of elementary schools in my district. Something's bound to open up, I just hope it's close to home with a supportive admin. Not the end of the world if I stay, but she just drives me crazy!!!
