Thanks for the link Ready!

I had my doctor's appointment today. He seemed pretty chill about the whole thing. He didn't even do another urine test or send me for a blood test. He wants me to just relax and take it easy and then go see him in a month for the blood test and ultrasound.

I kind of feel let down but I trust him so I guess this is normal. To be honest, I'm not feeling so great about the whole thing. I thought I would be more excited...

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Why would he take blood in a month?
A lot of drs wont see you until 8 to 10 weeks after u have missed 2 periods. If you have no previous losses they treat you as though this is a viable pregnancy. Why are you not excited?

I am assuming that would be the prenatal blood test? To check my levels then, that's what he said. But, since I am going with a midwife they will probably do all that and I will just go see him to sort of close off seeing him and then start seeing the midwife exclusively.

But I have to talk to the midwife tomorrow because I am overweight I am apparently automatically high risk and a lot of midwives don't do high risk pregnancies. They said it wouldn't be problem but I want to make sure because if in a month from now when I see them and they tell me they can't take me, it will be really hard to find an OBGYN...

I think all these stressors are making me anxious and that's why I'm not excited. I'm also really worried I am going to miscarry. I feel like I can't get my hopes up.

Congrats to the ladies with BFPs. That's really exciting!!! Pers I'm glad things look good!
When are you supposed to test ready?

I'm just trying to make it through the week.. Doubt much ttc will be going on. Been a rough one!

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Holy cow, look at all these BFP's!! Yay so excited for you gals!! Perse-I think you are fine, if your dr says just relax then I think that is what you need to do! I am sure it is hard to have the concerns but just try to go with the flow! Keep us posted!

Ready-Hope you caught the egg!! fx and baby dust to you for your bfp this month too!!

Smommy and Ren-where are you in your cycles?

AFM-Dr office called yesterday and I don't have PCOS!!! YAY!! I am so happy! They think that the surgery will fix everything! My cervix being closed was all of my problems! DH is so excited and says he is ready to start having babies ASAP! lol I reminded him that we don't want to get prego this month or next really. So he then said, great, we will have lots of practice for May! lol This has been like the longest week and for some reason seems like a long month, and we are only 5 days in! :-/ I am going to take the next two months off, no waking up at 545 every morning to take my temp, which I am super excited about and will start back up in May!! Hope you gals have a great week!

Perse I agree that you are good. That was a lovely line on the frer the other day. If you can stick with the mw I totally recommend it. They are amazing and such a different experience compared to an obgyn. Im sorry you are not 100% excited and concerned, the 1st tri is nerve racking. Soon enough you will be feeling pregnant and complaining that you feel like puking or the smells are overwhelming or your back/hips hurt! Cant wait!!!! Lol
Mrs-im so happy for you that things seem to be looking up. Practice makes perfect so get on it!
Smommy I have another week and a half before testing.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Who am I kidding? We all know I will be peeing on things by the wknd! Haha

Good morning! Af finished two days ago but I bled a little yesterday after bd'ing. I still got pregnancy symptoms. I threw up a few times the last two days. Yesterday night the hubby had baked potatoes in aluminum foil. After a few bites I started getting a horrible metallic taste. He made hik eat some of mines and hensaidnit was fun. His down didn't have a problem with it either. Think its a sign? He thinks so. I also been getting random lower rib cage pain. I'm not sure why I get them. It can't be because I sleep on my sides. I never had pain like this. Also I might also be moving in with the hubby. He said he have been having vivid baby dreams. Only time can tell I guess.

Mrs I'm happy for you! Practice does make perfect.
Ready, I might be testing all month! Just until the next af comes. Hopefully this is the month.

 

[persephone13]

Ready I can't wait to see those positive lines!!! Fingers crossed for you, Wish! How are you feeling Mrs?

I am feeling better, but I am having some achey pinching that seems to alternate sides. Doesn't really feel like pain just I can definitely feel it and then it goes away. Someone told me it could be corpus luteum pain but I wouldnt have that on both sides would I? Oh well, we will see. So far so good!

Maybe its the ligament stretching?

 

[Smommy013]

Wishing I hope it is!

Mrs. I'm cycle day 12.

Ready lets be serious you will test early.. Haha I would

 

[persephone13]

Ahh! I never thought of that! I just googled it and that definitely sound exactly what I have! Thanks Wishing!!!

OMG you must be DYING! LOL you're gonna jump that tomorrow!!!

I am feeling a lot better, once the receptionist at both midwife clinics we are considering told me that they would take me even if I have a high BMI I felt like I weight had been lifted. I'm actually feeling EXCITED and I just found out one of my good friends at work is due the SAME WEEK. She just found out on Monday. I'm really starting to feel like this is more real.

Hopefully you gals don't mind me hanging out in here still!

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Oh that is great Perse!!! I am glad you are feeling better.

Ok so I see you guys do the midwife, what does the midwife do? What is the advantage of the midwife vs the ob?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Perse im glad u r feeling better about things. Its a bumpy road but soooo worth it. And pls stay on with us. We can all go through the different stages together until our little beans are babies in our arms.
Smommy-u know im going to test way too early like I normally do. Lol cant wait!
Mrs-im glad things are on the up and up and yay for bding tomorrow. Soon enough u will be on the ttc train again...choo choo!!!
As for the mw they are a bazillion times more devoted to dedicated care for you rather than an ob that rushes u in and out each appt. I chose to have an unmedicated home birth so mw was the way to go. Even if u want to go to the hospital they will go there. Ive had both and I would 110% say mw.

Ready in some ways I really want a homebirth but DH is SO not having that. He looks frightened when I even mentioned it casually. Of course, he's just worried something bad would happen, so we might go to one of the home birth info sessions that the midwives have and maybe it will convince us (as I'm still not sure I want it either).

Perse dh was the same with me until we went to the info night and they go thru everything. They have red flags that they see well in advance to get u to the hospital if necessary. Births have been in homes for way longer than in hospitals. I can tell u being in my own space before AND after is by far the best feeling. I felt at the hospital with the ob I didnt have total say in what I wanted to do and if u plan not to have meds than I would recommend it over and over. Until u experience y cant really understand how amazing it is to be in ur own space doing it on ur terms. People made comments how amazing I was and what a hero but it really wasnt like that. Millions of women have done it cuz that was how babies were born. Its only been the last little while that hospitals have been the norm. There is nothing more wonderful than having your baby, showering and lounging on ur couch 30 mins later. There is nothing relaxing about the hospital. Thats my piece and now ill leave it. Lol

Those are ALL THE REASONS why I think I want one!!!!

 

[Smommy013]

I am not sure how close I am to ovulation. I have been really stressed for the week. So it may push it back. But DH does not want to TTC any more. He wants to not prevent to try now. It doesn't surprise me.

As for me, I'm doing hospital and meds if I get pregnant. Nothing against any other choice but just not me.
