We are PUPOLICIOUS hotties! (19 BFPs so far!!)

[crystalclaro]

disney fun, glad you had fun stace

how are you feeling lauren?

since lastnight im getting like twinges on the right side of abdomen, supposedly normal, its not like painful just a little sore-weird and uncomfy, i guess its normal right? i was debating texting my dr, but i dont want to be annoying what you guys think?

I think it's normal, I felt the same stuff going on when I was that early , it almost felt like the start of AF but the difference being Af never came and my boobs hurt way more than with Af

 

[crystalclaro]

Good Lisa. In the beginning there's tons of stuff going on. It's all new to your body and your body just tries to adjust to it all. I say you're totally fine and it's all completely natural.

have you tried pre seed yet? hubby and i did use pre seed the month i got my BFP and the month b4 and I ate a ton of sweet potatoes for those two months

 

[crystalclaro]

kimberly, I say every other day...all the way!!! I'm a big advocate of that plan.

Rach are you ovulating soon? getting ready to get busy?

Stacie that sounds like so much fun!! I'd be bummed going to Universal Islands of adventure and not being able to go on the rides...it's such a blast and I LOVE rollercoasters. but still sounds like it was an amazing trip all around!

My mom asks me all the time when she can take us to Disney...she wants to go when the baby's 2 (sorry if I already told you this) but isn't that so young? and wont it be kind of nuts with a 2 and 4 year old? And my parents are kinda older so it might not be easy for them to keep up so I envision DH and I running after them like crazy. Thoughts?

Man on a Ledge was a great movie actually...I liked it. Sam Worthington is hot but his hair kind of looked like a mullet a little bit which threw me off.

first time my son went to disney he was around 2 and we had fun but he was scared of the costumed characters , disney has a lot of laid back rides and stuff for little ones , my girls are so much older than my son so they had a blast , i think it would be nice to go if you go on a weekday off season ( less crowds) and stay at a hotel inside of the resort to make traveling to and from the park easier and stay for a couple of days because there is just to much to see in one day. Oh and we went to disney land not world , I have heard disney world is much better there is lots of fun stuff for the parents to enjoy like all the shows

I can't believe your big day is almost here... actually it could be today!!! or tomorrow!!! so exciting

ok so I had an OBGYN appointment today and the triple screen came back negative so thats awesome news and I asked her to peek at the baby today she told me that she is horrible at guessing boy/girl because she was not trained for that and her ultrasound machine does not have great resolution but she took a peek anyway and from what both her and I can see it appears to be a girl, we saw 3 lines but we did see a bulge above that
so who knows... but the chances for a little girl are much higher than for a boy. i called my hubby right away and told him and he said " ohh no.. really? oh well I have a little princess " I was afraid he was going to be disappointed because everyone is saying it's a boy and in his culture it is important to have a boy and he was the only boy in his generation to carry the name so the pressure is on him to have at least one boy. He wants to have another baby right after this one , like he wants to try as soon as I start my cycle again!!! but if he still gets a girl on the second baby then thats it we are done. lol

actual gender scan will be on july 3rd, i have an appointment on june 25th but that appointment is with the heart specialist so they will checking out the babies heart by ultrasound so I'm hoping that with there machine we can get a better look. and i mean we saw what looked like 3 lines but it was really grainy and we could also see a bump so that could have been a penis and bad resolution or it was a vagina and the umbilical cord. ohh but she did see that my placenta is in the right place

Hey gurls,

Little heads up one where im at right now: not in a good place, but definitly not giving up. This cycle af showed and Im on my last clomid one. I know its only our 4th cycle after the lap and they say 6.7 month is the average before a pregnancy happens, but its kind of difficult to pretend the last 20 months before have not meant anything.

Yesterday I learned that my Df's sister who is 38 and has 2 children (13 and 10) with previous marriage has decided to TTC with her new boyfriend and that got me so so down because since we started trying ALL the people that did afterwards are currently pregnant or have a child so its like I KNOW she'll get pregnant and possibly have it before I even get BFP.

Anyways we decided this was our last cycle au natural and took our appointment at the Montreal fertility clinic which is 2 hours from here (sucks that its far but insurance covers everything in Quebec). We'll then try IUI for a few rounds and then on to IVF; IUI first because its less invasive and less injections lol.

From now on Im going to distance myself from all this TTC thing and go one step at a time. If after the IUI and IVF we arent preg then we'll start the adoption process.

I wish you good luck ladies and I'll be sure to come peek at the beautiful belly and baby pics everyone will soon post.

-xox-

hey mel!!! missed you lots!

let me just tell you alot of women get pregnant on a clomid break, happens w ALOT of women..i bet you you will get preg naturally...you just needed a kickstart from clomid! i really wish you the best and i hope u get ur bfp soon i really do, it is hard when other ppl are trying and get pregnant, weve all been there its really rough,

have you had every test like you possibly could? i have my fxd crossed for you mel

alot of women also dont get pregnant on clomid bc they got hostile cm which im pretty sure is what happend w me. so we were going to do 3 au natural bc clomid made me wanna like die omg hated it. then i would talk to my dr about femara or something else and def do iui.

if it does come down to it adoption is great !! i would definately adopt!!!

always here to talk xo

Mel- sorry to hear AF came. One of my close friends conceived all of her children using IUI. Her and her husband tried for 7 years to get pregnant. So try not to lose hope!

Crystal- glad your appt went well!

Rach- I haven't had a chance to catch up, but how is this cycle treating you???

My appt this morning went well. I am kind of worried that my BP is going to start creeping up it was 139/76 today, which is still in the normal range. I was talking to my mom last week and from what she told me and what I remember of the day I delivered DS, I am worried I had the start if preeclampsia with him. So now I am paranoid about this pregnancy (as if we all don't have enough to worry about). I also have the glucose test at my next appt, which i failed with DS and had to do the 3 hr test. I just hope the next 4 weeks go by fast so I can get that test over with! Oh and I gained 7 lbs in 5 weeks! Yikes!!!

 

[jkb11]

Hi girls. Mel- sorry to hear af got ya. You have my thoughts and prayers. Xoxo
Leese- I agree the twinges are normal and just your little one settling in
Stace- that bp is fine girl! I would just try to monitor your sodium intake. And for the 7 lbs your ill man Is growing so fast now so we will count it as that it's great you are monitoring yourself so well tho... I'm sure you will be just fine. Crystal I think we need to all put a gender guess in for you!!! I'm saying boy!!!! Glad your appt went well.
Rach where are you at In your cycle Hun???? Sorry my brain is in overload right now. Will we be two buds?
Afm- day 2 of clomid.... Just had a bad headache today from it but Tylenol cured that. Hubby is saying he is on board for the bd schedule so we will see. I swear if his job tries to interfere I think I may go postal he should be wanting it really bad about now because it has been a looooooong time. Poor baby.
Lisette I'm ready for an updated nursery pic!!! I just love decorating! Speaking of we found a home that we are going to put an offer in on friday. I So hope we get it.im over the whole commuting back and forth to work.
Hi everybody else!!!! Xoxo

 

[Twinkie210]

Thanks Kim! I know that that BP is still in the normal range, it is just higher than what it has been. Hopefully it stays where it is at for the next 13-15 weeks . The 7 lbs doesn't worry me much because I gained a lot of weight with DS, but he was a big baby and all the weight came off within 6 weeks of having him. In all truth I probably gained a little more than 7 because I was sick all Saturday night and probably lost a pound or two before my appt on Monday. I am just going to try to eat a little healthier from here on out and hope not to gain 7 more by my next appt

 

[MrsMoo72]

Is it your birthday Lauren?! Kept that quiet missy! Have a great day xxx

 

[keepthefaithx]

happy birthday lauren if it is!!!!!!!

em how are you doing hunni????

 

[MrsMoo72]

Not bad hunny thanks, bleeding almost stopped now.

How you feeling? When's your next appt?

 

[keepthefaithx]

im feeling alright!

next apt thurs, nervousssssssss!!!

its like a big one 5w6d

thats great its almost stopped, whats ur game plan, are you waiting another cycle before ttc?

 

[MrsMoo72]

Still haven't really discussed it....dh will be glad of some nookie haha but to be honest i'm not ready to put myself through the whole thing again yet! Don't really wanna ttc before my appt at the miscarriage clinic coz if they find something simple is wrong then i will be kicking myself.

I know it's only Tuesday but what the heck - what's everyone's weekend plans?

I'm super busy - got a BBQ for my friend's 30th bday on Sat then on Sunday we are having a 'hen do' for a guy from work hehe! We were gonna make him dress up in a wedding dress & we were gonna go as the grooms but the dress someone lent him was a bit 'little bo peep'!!!! So think we're just gonna make him wear a tutu or something!

 

[jessy1101]

Happy bday Lauren!! Cant believe u kept it a secret!! Plans to celebrate??

Mel i'm sorry stoopid AF got u. Like Lisa said maybe a break from clomid will be the answer? Or for sure the IUI will bring good news too i'm convinced.

Emma that's good that the bleeding is practicly over. And i think it's a good idea to wait and see what the clinic says just in case. Maybe it is really nuttin but u'll have the piece of mind of not worrying about it.

As for plans this weekend i'm pretty much completly overly booked LOL. Thursday is one of our best guy friend's bday so we're a huge gang going out for dinner. Friday night is Rib fest in the downtown byward market in Ottawa which is absolutly delicious! Saturday is my MIL wedding and sunday is St jean festival here so we're going to listen to a bunch of bands outdoors. Monday since i'm off work will hopefully be cleaning day since i wont hardly be home all freakin weekend.
