ttc after a d&c

[aaronswoman79]

Angel, you have every right to be bothered by your dh's sister, especially if she decides to come over after your dh comes home. You and Pierce deserve "undisturbed" quality time, just you Pierce and your dh. Let me include my SIL also on this SIL alley. She lives just 10 minutes from us, and neither of us have visited each other in 5 years. She doesn't like anybody in my family, including my husband. She actually advised me once to dump my husband, according to her, I was too pretty for him and he was ugly, and that she would take me to a dance club and find me a new better looking man.. yeah she is crazy.lol. My SIL is drama, better to stay away. BTw, my mom was telling me the other day that she heard from some Christian psychologist on some radio show that men listen the best after you've had sex with them (kinda weird that my mom brought this up to me.lol). According to these psychologists, right after you and dh are done having sex and cuddling together that they are the most receptive to talking and actually listening. I am not sure if this works since I haven't had the chance to try it with my dh. Sounds a bit manipulative but at the same time maybe these psychologists are right.

Laura, I'm counting down the days until Simon's bday! This year has gone by so fast and you are just such a great mommy to Simon. You are such an advocate for him. I know you have had your hardships this year but thank God Simon has you as a mother.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Leslie, so sorry for bfn. Are you still going to test just incase? AF hasn't arrived yet, correct? Still holding out hope for you.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Amy, I've been stalking your page and chart. Finally got a chance to come on and leave all of you messages. I assume you are cilose to getting your opk positive. I'm not sure if you have given an update about your father, but how is he? Did they ever schedule a new date for surgery? I hope you are in better spirits lately. I am sorry about how stressful things have been for you.

Jen, nice to see you back on here. I am sure you are busy planning Zoey's bday party. She turns 1 in a little over 2 weeks!! How exciting. I hope everything is going well for you and with your dh. Are you still planning on having a big party for her? I hope Zoey is doing better with her fevers. That happened once with Sophia and even though the docs said she didn't have an ear infection, I think she actually did because she kept pulling her ear and had dark discharge coming from her ear. So maybe the fever hit when she was just starting to get over the infection. Not sure. Hopefully Zoey is doing better now.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Lisa, hope you and Elena are doing great. I read that she is already rolling over. She is one smart little lady! Does she sleep in a bassinet, crib, or in the bed with you? I am sure she has a lot of pretty clothes. My weakness is baby clothes. They make such cute outfits for girls, its just so hard for me to resist all of the nice clothes out there. what are the well known clothing stores in AU, or the high end stores? Has Elena starting growing out of her newborn clothes? Hope you could update us with a recent pic soon.

 

[aaronswoman79]

I forgot to ask you Angel. How did Pierce's 9 month visit go? Did the doc answer all of your questions good? Did Pierce need any shots? I hope not! Btw, Pierce looks so handsome in his 9 month photo shoot. He pulled off the serious face so good. He looks pensive in his pic.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Laura, forgot to tell you how cute Simon is!! He is such a cute and big boy.

Amy ~ SIL isle would be fab! It could be rehab for rude bitchy SIL, it could teach them to respect their brother's wives! Im all for it! Though an island would be too luxurious, lets call it SIL Ally! Ha! I tried talking to my DH, but he really doesn't see it...sometimes he gets defensive when I start to talk about her. It is so frustrating. If she comes and IF anyone shows out, I will hop on a plane w/ Pierce and take my very own vacation.

.... To Ireland xxx
Silly sil.
Is dh only home for limited time
Tell dh u want him to yourself cos u miss him
Should flatter him into giving u attention u deserve
I must say um lucky with my sils
Both ohs Sis are lovely
She sounds jealous of u hon Xx
Hope her visit is short

Laura, I'm counting down the days until Simon's bday! This year has gone by so fast and you are just such a great mommy to Simon. You are such an advocate for him. I know you have had your hardships this year but thank God Simon has you as a mother.

Thanks jess. Xx
U too
Loves ya xxx
How are ye doing x

 

[lilesMom]

Jess I def agree
We have some of our best chats in the cuddling stage ;-)
not in a deliberate way.
Just we r both mellow at that stage and not in a rush anywhere ;-)
Although not lately since Simon sleeps with us ;-)
As my hv said best contraception is a baby in the bed

 

[lilesMom]

Amy fx for iui Xx
Leslie hope at is staying away

Yeah Angel I would say today is officially limbo because I would have sworn yesterday would have been the day. 17 dpo today grrrr and cramping away so sorry to hear about your SIL and how bitchy she seems to be ( couldn't come up with a better word!). It's too bad DH is playing along. You've talked to him about it? Some people just don't get it. I would also add my two SILs to that alley though...they are both messes and DH and I tend to stay away from both. My future SIL that my brother is marrying next year is the best though so we will give her a pass. When is DH home for you?

Amy yay for IUI this morning...good luck! Interesting about bd and good to know. No meds talked a out yet for this cycle. Gyno mentioned but since we are seeing an RE we are going to start over with that and see what they recommend . I know they will have to start off with testing so just have to remain patient.

Laura Simon is so photogenic how is he doing? How are you feeling?

Jess thanks. Will test again Thursday and every other day until whatever is going on is figured out. How is all going with you and your girls? Interesting about the sex fact!

Happy hump day! As I said I will keep testing every other day. If no AF or BFP I will ask specialist to add HCG to their blood panel if they can. I just don't get what my body is doing. I really feel like AF is on her way so just come already. My friend who did her second round of IVF just had her first ultrasound and everything looks great. I am really hoping for her and also hope we can be pregnant together. One of her college friends just announced pregnancy on Facebook and my first thought was darn they can't be pregnant together that's supposed to be me! I think she's around 3 months. I see more and more announced a little after 3 months. I don't think I will do that, especially after mc, kinda feel it's too soon at least for a public announcement like that.

Laura ~ Oh a trip to Ireland would be perfect! I should leave flight itineraries up on computers with departure dates highlighted...ha! You are lucky you have nice SILs, I wonder if it's just SILs in the states that are bitchy <~~I like Leslie's word. I bet there are more women who would put their SILs in that alley, than those who would put them on an island (unless it was deserted! Can you tell I'm bitter ha!). On a lighter note...One week until Simon's big day I bet it's so sweet to see him sleep in his stuffed car!

Jess ~ I may have to try the cuddle chat w/ DH. My BFF suggested we put them up in a hotel, would that be rude? My family always stays with me, so I'm not sure DH would be receptive to it. How are the girls? Has Natalie been to the psychiatrist yet? Can Ally take summer classes to pass her grade?

Amy ~ Hope this is it for you. Come on lucky IUI!

Leslie ~ So officially in limbo? Darn! You had a +ve OPK clear as day, so 17dpo is long! Roll on Friday or a Thursday BFP! And yay for your future SIL getting a reprieve from SIL alley...do tell if her disposition changes once she is officially family

Jen, Bethany & Lisa. How are the girls? Hugs and mwah!

Pierce's 9 month appointment did go well...27lbs & 30" long. She said he weighs what 18 month olds weigh! Little pork chop! I asked her about the vaccine schedule (no shots at 9months). I talked to her about food, he gags on eggs, green beans and cottage cheese...she said its a dislike, but to try introducing it several times and he'll aquire the taste. Just a couple other minor questions and we were out the door! Next appt is at 1 yo...3 shots at that one, but I might delay the varicella by a month.

I second Leslie with Happy Hump Day!

 

[lilesMom]

Leslie fx for u xxx
Cramping can be s good sign too Xx
Hope so.
We r ok. Just tired and a bit crappy but alright ;-)

Angel. U could suggest hotel to sil.
U could say u didn't want p to disturb their sleep
Not that he would but great excuse xxx

I have liver consultant tomorrow
Allergic to leaving Simon for any length of time.

Xx to all

 

[mommylov]

Laura, best of luck tomorrow hun!!!

Leslie, I agree with Angel. You arent on progesterone or anything so a 17dpo and no af still sounds promising. Im still keeping things crossed for you!!!!

Angel, SIL isle sounds like the place for her to go lol Are you going to try and get a feel for what DH might think about putting her up in a hotel? Just tell him "I dont want to keep her awake or anything if the baby wakes up"

 

[Buttrflyl553]

18dpo and bfn on both wondfo and frer...took a frer in case the others were not right. I'm stumped. Last month AF came on 16 dpo and the month before 10dpo. What is up with my body

 

[xoxo4angel]

Leslie. I believe the meds impacted things this month! Maybe because you are going to the Dr at 19dpo she will run all of the standard RE test (it's a long list)...does your insurance cover this visit? Have you considered temping?

No news from my SIL regarding her coming to visit...maybe she won't be able to come FX'd! My DH would be sad though, he wants to show Pierce off...I can't win I think I will book a hotel room for myself!

Amy ~ TWW

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Think you are right angel, how annoying it is! They are supposed to do blood work for dh and I so they probably will. I'm going to ask about PCOS and how you would test for that as well as ask for hcg test just in case!
Will catch up soon
Sorry about SIL stuff and hope it works in your favor!

Amy crossing my fingers for your iui

 

[mommylov]

Angel re getting your own room lol Sorry about the SIL dilemma. Hope it all works out though!

Leslie, Im super stumped as well. I cant wait for your RE to do blood work and get to the bottom of all this. I hope in the end its just a simple fix!!!

Laura, hope your liver consultation goes well today!!! Keep us posted!

:wave: to all you ladies and happy *ALMOST* Friday!!!
