TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy, I really think I see something. I'd take another one tomorrow! I took my first HPT on 11dpo and had just the lightest line! FX for you!!!!

 

[morganwhite7]

OH MY GOODNESS SANDY... Oh I hope this is it! Holy moly girlfriend you better go buy another 2 pack for tonight and tomorrow! FX'd!!

What a wonderful way to start our Monday

 

[wavescrash]

I just woke up, don't have my glasses on and am on my phone but I'm pretty sure I see a super faint second line. I say test again tomorrow

 

[wavescrash]

Waves, does your insurance cover all things maternity? What will you have to pay out of pocket for delivery and such if you're on LOA?

As long as I'm on my LOA protected under the FMLA, my insurance coverage doesn't change. I'll also apply for Medicaid which will cover whatever my insurance doesn't.

But to be honest, I'm not sure what my regular insurance covers on it's own. I'll have to check lol. (And of course the website isn't loading properly.)


UGH my SPD is outta control this morning. Excruciating pain trying to get out of bed which means it's going to be a long day lol. I just wanna nap. Only 3 hours to go until Hannah's nap time so fingers crossed I can stay awake that long

i think we'll end up paying about $2500 when all's said and done - that's our deductible. it doubled this year; OH said, "we shoulda had this baby last year" - as if we werent trying!

 

[asmcsm]

Kara- I know! So excited! About 8 hours and 20 minutes to go!

Sandy- I'm on my phone and I see it!

 

[frsttimemama]

It's dry, and I definitely see it!! Omgosh!! I'm definitely testing again later and tomorrow. Can this even be real?!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I see it in the second pic but it's a little blurry. Can you post another? Is it pink IRL? I'm excited! I hope this is it for you!

Aw cute and what a sweet story behind it. I'm sure she'll love knowing that once she's older.

You could always go with Jane My middle name of course lol.

I second this option to anyone on here (hehe my middle name is Jane also!)

DH hates May for a middle and I've been contemplating suggesting Isabella instead but I don't want to suggest until Im sure I love it! I'm pretty sure he would like anything other then May and I'm not sure it matters too much to me!

Makayla May
Makayla Isabella
What do you girls think??

I'm soooo lazy today. Like so lazy. It's cold and windy and rainy so I'm posted up watching food network listening to the pup chomp his bone while DH is out watching football

I agree with the other ladies, Isabella is a long name to say (I practiced aloud) I like May or how Rachel suggested to spell it, Mae.
Waves - I'm so sorry about your friend from high school. Its so sad when you have to hear about people you "grew up with" passing away, I think it kind of makes it close to home when its someone around the same age as you (maybe thats just me) How's your friend in labor? any baby news? that sounds like an awful experience, hopefully her memory blocks it out and if they decide to have another baby its a smoother delivery.

Happy swing day to lots of you ladies!

One more day until gender scan yay! I had my first baby dream last night and it was a boy, but I think it may have something to do with my friend giving birth to her son this morning. She was admitted yesterday and after 28hours of labor he's finally here.

Yay Ashlee I'm so excited to find out what you are having! I say boy.

Gut says girl for me too! I'll be slightly bummed if i'm wrong. I'm hoping there is some truth "mothers intuition". I've already decided on the nursery theme if it's a girl. Elephants! I love elephants and collect glass elephants. I can't wait to decorate the nursery with the little elephants on the shelves. =]

aww I love all these nursery ideas with elephants and owls!! Can't wait to see how it looks!

Thanks ladies! Wow. Can't believe I'm in third tri!!! I feel enormous the last few days. My scrubs are getting tight and it's getting harder to squat down to do IVs so I have to sit down for each one which isn't a big deal, it's better for our backs, preggo or not but it's annoying. I also think she's in a growth spurt bc my belly looks bigger and I've been getting some stretching like pains.

Cute bellies ladies! Kara you are so tiny but definitely rounding out now!

Excited for you to find out Ashlee!!

My next appt is Wednesday too. I have my glucola screen and rhogam shot

Happy 3rd Trimester Rachel!! Belly definitely looks bigger but its so darn cute!

AFM - dr app tomorrow...have been feeling baby alot past 2 days...in fact dh felt a pop for the first time from the outside too...i thought it was alil too soon for him to feel it ( dont u think ) but im not complaining ...best part of all...i have been craving salalds....hahah im soo happy with this craving...i can just eat huge salads at anytime of the day..

Yay Sonia for dh feeling the baby, I can't wait for that moment to happen for me and my dh...I'm also glad you're feeling better

Julie, can't wait to hear about your baby shower...I hope you had a wonderful time!

Also so many cute bump pics from this weekend! can't wait to join in on the fun

Hello ladies. I hope you dont mind me posting as its been sooooo long since I did. I was talking to cass via fb the other day and really miss you girls. I stopped posting in the ttc group as I felt really stressed out reading a certain someones comments I have been reading along every now and then. It just started to feel like a competition on who has had the worst life and felt my posts were ignored because someone is saying they want to die every 5 mins. We've all been through utter crap and some of you girls are so strong to get through what you've been dealt. I was so upset when I had my mc but it wasn't meant to be and no matter how I felt I would never ever say anything about preggos bodies or whatever the comment was. There is nothing more lovely than a big bump with a little squishy growing in there. Thats the sort of comments that really bloody anger me. I thought the point of this forum was to support each other through ttc to having the bouncing bean in your arms and its just a shame a small few ruin that. I honestly have nothing against you preggos . I feel blessed that I have my little boy and if all else fails I will always have him . Anyway I just wamted to post that I am thinking of you all and so happy for you and if you dont mind me joining in that would be great but if you tell me to sod off then ill understand.

 

[morganwhite7]

Thank you for popping in Brittney

And Sandy I am so excited for you to POAS.. I feel creepy, way across America (well I guess Ohio isn't too far!) waiting for you to pee on a stick! LOL so exciting.. I really hope this TTC chapter can be closed in your life.. you guys deserve this so much! How does DH feel.. does he see it, too?!

HELLO COLETTE!! Glad to see you back!

 

[frsttimemama]

Hubby saw ait faint line thisnow morning. Its pink now. He said toI go get another on lunch and do it then call the dr. What brand? FRER?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Hi bb. Hope you're ok.
I'm trying to go back and read but its hard with the little mr running round. Sandy I def see something. Could this finally be it for you. I do hope so. Praying for you.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sandy I see a hint of something too. Fx
Hi Colette.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Yeh I'm doing ok. I asked where you were! You disappeared off the Facebook group too!

 

[Kiamaria83]

I'm off fb now. I find I just spend too long on it and with work and elliott I have enough to do lol. I dont think ill come back to the ttc thread as it seems to be getting a bit heated over there so ill pop in here when I can to catch up with you all. Just trying to read up but its going to take me ages.
Hi katrina.

Ill give you a quick update on me. Been to hospital and had tests to see if there's a reason for the mcs. All is fine. I ovulate regularly but dr has prescribed clomid which is fine by me. He said that he would recommend I take low dose aspirin next pregnancy as there is a study that has shown ladies who have had multiple mc that baby aspirin helps. He did say it isnt medically proven though. But im willing to try anything. Did any of you ladies that are pregnant take baby aspirin ? I think I remember ash did ?

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Hello Colette. Happy to see you!

Sandy - OMG. I SO hope this is it for you!!!!!

Ashlee- How excited are you?? I can't wait for my gender scan and it's a little under 4 weeks away!!

 

[morganwhite7]

Sandy- I would say yes a FRER too.. They seem to work the best early on. You want to get 20mIU or less for it to register this early.. But if you had a faint line this morning, I'll be willing to bet that it's darker this afternoon!

Try not to drink too much before you POAS though.. wait til you have a long hold with less liquids.. it will be more concentrated/more likely to show a line
