Good luck for this cycle MM


Hoping for good news Miss Redknob

 

[vaniilla]

While a 4th of July baby would have been nice, an anniversary baby wouldn't be so bad, either.

[mouse_chicky]

How's everyone doing? I started reading Your Pregnancy Week by Week, and in the space of 15 minutes I managed to read about m/c four times, all in different sections!

I do realize that things can go wrong, but here I am not Googling that crap and here it is in my face!

Here's what I read in a short time:

- Chances of m/c are greater in the first trimester (already knew that, thanks for reminding me.)

- Chances of m/c are greater if you're overweight (thanks, again)

- Chances of m/c are greater if you have low folic acid levels (finally I can feel okay about what I'm reading because I've been taking a prenatal for months)

- Chances of m/c are greater with even 1-2 alcoholic drinks per day (another thing I don't have to worry about)

I think I've been extremely overly sensitive lately but this just bugs the crap out of me. I wanted to read about fetal development, not this stuff.

Once you skim over the scary stuff (which I already know about, didn't need reminders), there are some very cool pictures and developmental information. Being on week 7, it was nice to see a pic that showed the head and the arm and leg nubs. There's even a picture to scale, and it is in fact blueberry sized.

Sorry, HK. The first trimester is SUCH a scary time - no reminders needed, for sure! And sadly, most of the time there's nothing we can do to prevent or protect ourselves against it. BUT the good thing is that the odds are overwhelmingly in our favor of having a happy and healthy pregnancy.. so try not to let the bad stuff get you down.

 

[trgirl308]

I can't believe that something as small as a blueberry has a head and nubs, that is so crazy! You're doing great so far, ignore all the other stuff and focus on your little nubs.

Try not to stress over it too much. (I know easier said than done right?) Stress won't do you or the baby any good though!!! My OB exam today was all about MC's and complications during pregnancy. I hate reading about that stuff. I realize it happens but it's something I'd rather be oblivious to than worry about... especially since I'm not even preggo yet!!!

Speaking of OB... tomorrow is my first day on the Labory and Delivery unit at the hospital. I'm incredibly excited about it!!! Tomorrow is just orientation but I'm hoping to sneak in the nursery and care for the patients just a little bit.

 

[mouse_chicky]

Pregnancy is the most exhilerating, amazing, and even scary thing a woman can experience. It's impossible not to let those percentages rattle you a little, but the best thing you can do is concentrate on the little miracle your body is making. Just think, your body is growing another person. Cool! And enjoy every week as much as possible. Look forward to your bundle, look at the pictures chronicling development, and enjoy the honor of the journey.

(steps off soap box )

 

[KellyC75]

The worrying really starts as soon as we see that

& then it never stops....It means we are caring Mummys

 

[ttcbabyw1]

It's true... I haven't stopped POAS since I got my bfp. Just want to see those lines getting darker! Ive decided to stop doing it every day. But to use a digi once every week and a half or so to hopefully see the time since conception change!

We'll see how that works out!

Posted an update in my journal yesterday about my first doctors visit. Happened to be going for something else. She was clearly underwhelmed with emotion as I'm so early... And even used the M word! (as HM referred to it! ).

Not gonna let it get me down though!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Well arrived home safely except for leaving our laptop and iPad2 on the plane.. Hoping that we get it back.

Did another test this morning (14dpo) and still a hoping that maybe I implanted late or that it is something to do with flying that has messed up my cycle..

Oh noooo.. I'd cry! I hope you get those back stat!

Sorry for the BFN, too. FX that second line shows up soon!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks girls..

It is so frustrating I just hope that the airline has it and that some ******* (sorry for the language) hasn't stolen it..

On your side is the fact that the crew thoroughly cleans the planes before the next set of passengers get on. I would hope they're more accountable than Joe Schmoe! Plus they have record of who was sitting where, so they could trace it back to you (in theory) pretty easily. All that said, I never have much faith when airlines are involved. Lost baggage, stuff left on the plane.. such a headache. I hope you have a good experience though!

 

[Andielina]

Hello everyone!!! I've been away for a while battling off the that FINALLY showed up 3 WEEKS LATE!!!! Really?!?!

First of all, congratulations ttcbabyw1!!!!!!! Have you told hubby yet?!

Hooray for your little girl, babyb54! Looked like she was pretty excited and proud of herself.

I've got fx'd for everyone who is late/experiencing lots of bfn's. The money I've spent on pregnancy tests the past month being so late could have probably bought myself a personal jet.

Sooo, I was scheduled to see the doctor this past Monday and had to reschedule because the Sunday before af showed up in such full force and all her glory. Ugh.

So I've spent the week coping with not being pregnant (We were so sure! Things were so weird) dealing with (tmi) tons of bleeding, and being anemic all the fatigue that comes with that.

DH and I have spent the week talking about everything and have decided to go back to WTT until the beginning of next summer. Things are a lot more relaxed when I'm not at school teaching and it would give us some more time to get some things we want to have done around our house (we moved into our first house over the summer after we got married) before we have a little bundle of joy.

So I'll be hanging around cheering everyone on, but I'll be out of the running for a while. I hope my story doesn't discourage anyone, but after everything I've been through I won't test anymore until I'm at least a week late. Lots of heartbreak being 3 weeks late (never that late before) and not being preggo.

I hope everyone has a happy and fun Halloween weekend!

I'm sorry to hear that this wasn't the month for you. How heartbreaking to be three weeks late and then have the witch arrive. I admire that you are taking the time for yourself and your husband to do more things that you want and to take a step back and relax! Sometimes things may seem like a setback but in the end they turn out better than expected! again.

 

[MackMomma8]

Sorry to hear about all that, Andielina! That must have been so heartbreaking. Please stick around - we love our cheerleaders!

AFM, the is finally easing off... thank goodness! I got myself a bottle of b-complex vitamins yesterday, and I'm really hoping that taking it will help lengthen my luteal phase by a few days. I know I'm probably making something out of nothing, but I'm starting to get impatient. After 2 cycles.
