Just a quick one tonight!

Spoiler

Lady H, I hope everything goes okay! As others have said, the chances are still pretty good that everything is just fine with your little one. I'll be thinking of you and sending healthy sticky thoughts to the Little Lady!

Nessaw, I had methotrexate, so I don't know anything about ...the other drug. But I would caution you that it may take some time for your body to complete the process with or without the drugs. Some women with a natural m/c bleed for WEEKS! My whole thing has lasted 2 1/2 MONTHS SO FAR, but it's pretty atypical. I hope the process goes smoothly and quickly for you, though!

And Kismet, my understanding is that there are policies (Butterfly's link) and then there are norms. (Maybe if I articulate what I, as a relative newcomer to this thread, think the norms are I can find out if I'm right!) The policies state that BFP announcements go only into a particular thread (BFP sticky thread). Now, my understanding is that on a long-standing, close-knit thread like this one, folks WANT to see your BFP announcement, but would like it hidden beneath a spoiler like you used above. That way the ladies who are having a bad day can come to this thread for support and be able to choose how much BFP-ness they want to see. As someone with a painful and drawn-out m/c recently, it actually made me teary with gratitude that folks would have this sort of sensitivity.

Also under spoilers: signatures with tickers of growing babies, and updates on pregnancy progress.

Oh, and I don't know if this was specifically stated for the group norms, but it also seems that if you've had 6 miscarriages you can put your baby ticker wherever the hell you want because you have EARNED IT.

How did I do, ladies? Happy to edit or remove anything I got wrong.

And damn, I was supposed to be in bed now. Another 12 hour day!

Hugs and kisses.....

[LilSluz]

Dwrgi – Thanks, hun. Hope you have fun plans for this weekend? Chart is looking good, dahling! Big & mwah-mwahs!

Pad – aw, such lovely words. Just for that, I’ll have a for you tonight. Its red, but when I spill it on my white shirt or pants (because that will invariably happen every time) its pink.

LadyH –

Spoiler

I’m so very sorry for that news! Hopefully it’s just our ages wreaking the usual havoc? 1 in 65 (1.5%) is still pretty slim chance, so don’t get down yet. See what happens after amnio test. Sending you big

Owl - ???

BF – Aw, thanks for sacrificing yourself for my benefit! Hope you are doing well, lovely lady!

Want2 –

Spoiler

Thanks hun. I don't think anyone knew about spoilering? either until told about it or happened to notice that others were doing it w/pregs info. So, yeah, just spoiler pregs announcements, updates, pics, anything pregnancy related & tickers so it won't upset those having a tough time or remind some of us that we don't have that, etc. It's especially tough at our ages, as you know! I hope you are doing well & so glad your results are good & work is no more!

Dashka – I hope you are not too stressed at the job today! Oh boy - ? At the end of next week – is it Thurs or Fri? Still sending snuggly vibes your way (just couldn’t do it W & Th). I thought of your predicament when reading Pebble's story, as that pretty much sums it up, as well! I know you don’t like so I will sacrifice myself & eat Kentucky Derby Pie for you tonight. (at bottom) Big, massive & to you, love!!!!


Tiger & Fro – one of my big things after my mom passed suddenly (& after grieving process) was that my mind shut off. I felt so stupid because I couldn’t remember anything & I thought it was permanent because it lasted several months. I had to fake it at work through sheer BSing & thankfully most people left me alone for a while… (my sisters were the same too). So, if you’re struggling to remember things & can’t concentrate well after grieving, just know it’s temporary.

Nessaw – I guess all I can hope for is that things go quickly & smoothly for you so you can recover. .


Kismet – there you are! I was VERY overwhelmed while getting the testing, but I thank God I did it. They took 26 vials in one sitting w/me (another 8 the next week), so I know it’s tough! My veins ran out after 16, I think it was – took 2 hrs total (I usually pass out at 3 sticks – my veins are very tough to get to). But I appreciated the thoroughness of my Dr. because usually it’s the other way around. You will be very happy when you get results because as you say, you’d rather know than not know. At least you can see where you stand at the onset of TTC so you have a good sense of what’s what. And awesome you got appt after 2 mos No need to spoiler any FS talk or really anything else other than actual pregnancy announcements, updates & tickers. Silly goose . But it shows you are sensitive!

Green – oh no! I’m so sorry, hun I’m just waiting for my massive dive bomb in temps… (15DPO but BFN again today). Glad you are feeling better (other than )

Mirium – naughty girl! Glad you are getting a 2nd opinion. Mine would technically be my 4th! I just emailed them to see if they offer uNK cells biopsy & how much IUI is. If the email response says “no” & same price as my Dr, then that appt. is over . How much weight are you trying to lose & how much so far? Very good you are exercising. You can still exercise while TTC, just don’t over-exert yourself & limit it to 20-30 mins/day. Power-walking is a good one if you are a bit afraid of overdoing it . Are you contemplating ART? (you said “this was a natural cycle&#8221. Thanks for the - and back at ya!

Pebble – I LOVE that story! I remember hearing a similar one & loved it, thanks, that sums it up perfectly. About Florida is all I can say! Apparently they didn’t get the memo that Election Day is just 1 day long. We must be on beach time, here. Relax mon, erytin’s irie! Pretty pathetic when instead of waiting for the last of the ballots to be counted, a candidate stands up & pronounces that he lost. It’s really embarrassing but not surprising from this group of yahoos running this state. (I won't go there .) Only 50 hrs? Well, you get back to work then, young lady, they don’t tolerate such laziness there! Thank God for !

Purps – thinking of you

Moon & GreekPorn - you guys OK?

to everyone else!

AFM – I’m 15 DPO, tested BFN again today because my temp rose instead of falling (was high yesterday too, but didn’t put it in bc only had 4 hrs ). Argh, I hate these wacky cycles! And I think (I hope) I have a luteal cyst . Might sound strange to hope for a cyst, but the alternative explanation(s) are way worse. Having sharp pains for about 6 days now, but today its gotten pretty bad & my back has decided to join in the fun! Just better be a luteal cyst & hopefully the dang thing will just rupture & be done with soon! But, the silver lining is that I have a 3-day weekend (Veteran's Day on Monday), we're going out w/friends tonight, having a "girls' night" tomorrow night (involves wine, girl talk, Thai food & scary movies until 2 or 3am) & I will relax Sun-Monday . I think may help these pains? Ok, you’ve convinced me!

TGIF! to all in 2WW, to everyone else & for some of us, please stand for our pledge of allegiance… & this is for Dashka (has nuts, chocolate, cookie stuff?, served hot with ice cream & whipped cream)
