Happy birthday Amara! I hope you'll share the photo of her digging into her cake..it's always my fave!

Hope everyone had a terrific holiday! It's been a whirlwind these past few weeks, but in a good way! : ) And now I'm officially ! Still can't believe I'm finally finished with school... And only about 4 more months until our baby girl will be here!!

Congrats BabyB, that is great news!

So I am off to cycle #6... never thought it would take this long, but hopefully my little trip to Florida in January will be the relaxation I need and this month will be the one!

 

[BabyMaybe917]

babyb Yay for graduation!!!

I had an appointment with the fertility specialist this morning. I updated the full story in my journal but long story short we will be taking a laid back approach to TTC while getting healthier over the next 6 months. At the end of 6 months I will go back to the doctor and start aggressive (meds, injectables, monitoring cycles, etc.) TTC at that point.

Happy Birthday to Amara!

Good luck to everyone TTC this month!

Oh, I am. I was just feeling down about getting AF again. I never thought it would take 5 cycles for us to get pregnant. A girl with regular cycles, healthy weight and lifestyle, and lots of should get you preggers pretty quick, right?

Yeah it can be really disheartening, I'm sure I'll be feeling the same a few months down the line. Itll happen for you though, like you say, you're doing all the right things! In the grand scheme of things although 5 months seems like an age, it's not long at all. Frustrating? MASSIVELY! Normal? Definitely. Like Kelly says, keep the faith

Congrats BabyB, that is great news!

I feel the same way ladies, especially MM - I'm really healthy as far as weight and excercise, I've been taking prenatal vitamins since last october, we have plenty of sex (we even "tried" to tone it down to every other day for this Nov/Dec cycle). DH and I have just moved into month 10, I definately never thought it would take us this long (especially since we've even taken a few months off in there, we actually started trying last December). One of my best friends just announced that they're expecting their second surprise - it's so frustrating for me that it's so easy for them that they don't even have to try. My doctor told me to come in during March (which will be the one year mark) if we haven't yet conceived so that we can start testing, but I might need to go in earlier now that my cycles have gone irregular again. To be honest, I'm really scared.

Wow ~ Your already 16 weeks hakunamatata Are you finding time is going slow or fast?

To be honest, I'm really scared.

I don't know how I'd be able to handle it if someone I knew announced a pregnancy right now. Thankfully all my friends' babies are still under 2, and I know that the majority of them don't even want a second kid. I imagine I'd be upset, especially if it was a 'surprise'. At least, I know that's how I felt when I found out quite a few friends of mine were 'unexpectedly expecting' back when we were still WTT.

The other night I was teasing/reminding DH to take his "swimmer steroids" (that's what he calls his fertility blend for men vits ) and he kinda looked at me funny, gave me a kiss and said "Whatever will get you pregnant and make you happy." I asked him what he meant by that, and he just said that sometimes he still felt like I'm pushing the whole TTC thing but he understands that I want to have a baby sooner than later. I explained that I just felt like I've been lied to my whole life - we were all told as teenagers that the first time we had unprotected sex, BAM! we'd get preggers. Well, that was obviously a lie.

Aww. Pixie and Trgirl and MackMomma. I know just how frustrating it feels. We went about 5 months before I'd had enough and my cycle went all crazy. I realllly hope the wait is over for you ladies very soon! It really is crazy how some people seem to just blink and are pregnant, whereas some others of us try and try and try and try and it takes so long! I have another friend who got pregnant very quickly the first time they ttc. Now they are trying for their second and are around 10 months in and nothing. It really leads me to believe even more that everything happens for a reason and when it happens, it's going to be the exact eggie and sperm that are destined to be our babies!!

I hope that encourages yall a little. I've been on bcp for a month now, and I am actually very glad my dr. put me back on them. I think I've found the right kind for me. My a/f was the lightest and most manageable it has EVER been and it is really kicking my hormones back in place. I go back to the dr. 2nd week of January, so hopefully the good news will keep coming and fertility won't be a problem when we begin trying this summer. I am so scared about it. The more I read about ttc with PCOS the more anxious I get. But I feel confident it's gonna happen for me and dh.

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend and a very Happy New Year!!!!!

[mouse_chicky]

Happy New Year! May the new year bring lots of baby smiles and family memories!

These may be one of the first years I don't stay up until midnight, but I'm going to try.

 

[KellyC75]

Happy New Year all Sending lots of to the Acorns waiting for that

I had an emotional one, (Aug) 2011 was the year I lost my wonderful Dad & although im glad to see the back of 2011, its also so hard starting a New Year without him here

 

[Shabutie]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ladies! 2011, im not sure what to make of it really. Of course it was the year we got married, and saw Amara grow up so much, but other stuff seems to have weighed it down a little. Family issues, mainly my sister and In-laws, and me and DH have had a few problems and then not falling pregnant. But I hope 2012 will be a good year for us, even if I dont get pregnant.

Kelly, that must be so hard for you But he will always be with you, no matter what you do or where you go. I have to remind myself of that about my dad every now and then.

Big hugs Kelly

 

[Mrs_T]

Happy New Year girls! Hope 2012 brings u all health and happiness!

Sending you lots of hugs Kelly. We lost my sister in law 2 years ago and this time of year is always emotional with all those memories. Last night we let off a sky lantern in memory and tonight we r having a 'Sammy' night watching home movies.

Happy New Year everyone! I've not been on lately, with the busy holidays I've hardly had the time. In addition, I've had bfn after bfn I did some fertility testing and all tests are normal. Hubby started FertilAid for Men and I'm starting clomid this upcoming cycle...I'm not even testing this month as I know we missed any potential egg

Hope everyone had a terrific Christmas and a safe New Year!

 

[hakunamatata]

Thanks!!

Sticky new year vibes/dust etc

I posted some pics in my journal of the cutest wall decals ever! They go perfect with my monkey theme. I was going to wait to put them up until we get a but they're too cute to sit in a closet so I put them up. I can't wait to see my nieces reaction to them when she stays the night again.
