OMG, cramps suck! I don't get them often, but good lord! Feels mostly like it's where my left ovary is, though I do get some random twinges on the right ovary area.... stupid witch!

Morning ladies

Titi how was your birthday dinner?

SG awww sorry you have cramps

afm, im just working from home, trying not to think about noodle. I can't wait to find out what's going to happen. I'm sick of being in limbo land.

Honeybee, I am on the edge of my seat for you. I alsomeant to say that I love your new 'limbo' picture......fits the moment, but I cant wait for you to fill that picture with a healthy sonogram!

Yes, pizza and cheese fries! Yumm! If you are ever here near me in the states, I will cook you whatever you want!!! I'm sure you all cook awesome, I just talk about food all the time! hehe!

Squirrel.....ugh cramps!?........

So last night I decided to bring up two very big questions to my husband.

I asked him if we should just go back to the fertility doctor to get his SA done so we know if there is something wrong or not. He was fortunate enought that I got pregnant the first time going to him, with no help of the RE, but I still went on to MC. I asked him if we should go back starting the new year.

I also asked him about going to this information seminar at a local home for children (orphanage) and adopting one child to start. Whether or not I have more of my own children, to us, its a wonderful idea.

He said "I dont know" about the SA (he's chicken shit - - he doesnt want to do it, and he says he just knows he has a problem - - after many years of damage). But also said, "we'll do whatever you want to do".

He said yes to the adoption, but he'd love a child near our daughters age or younger so she would have someone.

I asked him, how he'd feel about adoption; if we adopted a little boy or a little girl and after a few months they called him 'Daddy" and wanted to hug and kiss him, how would you feel?

He said, I would expect them to call me Daddy and be compasionate, after all we'd be there parents.

Gosh I just love my husband so much. I am so glad I have him.

 

[honeybee28]

awww tryfor, that just brought tears to my eyes. What a gem of a man you have there.
Do you think you will look into adoption? You have an orphanage near you? wow, we dont have any around here.
I would love to adopt I really would.
Do you think he'll get the sa done? I think it would be good, there might not be anything wrong, and then it would put his mind at rest.

hehe thank you, i like the limboing giraffes. But I would much rather have a pic of a healthy noodle

[honeybee28]

actually i think there is scope to adopt here, just not babies. I think there are a lot of children that need homes though.xxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

I would much rather see a picture of a healthy noodle as well!

How many more days until your scan? Next wednesday right??

My husband just made me so proud!

I have just seen an ad yesterday for a childrens home of york. I am just assuming its an orphanage since its a home for children.

I just want to run out now and have a look see. I think I would go in there and come out with 2 or 3 kids! But one to start would be nice. If you could do that right now, would you do it and what child would you take first....a little boy or a little girl???

By the way........bfn.

 

[honeybee28]

Yea Wednesday, 5 more sleeps.x

Urgh bfn. How many dpo?

I probably would!! I would probably pick a boy, as i always wanted a big brother lol. Although, I think I would wait for this scan first. To go from no children to potentially 2 might be a bit of a shock. What would you pick!?

I'm the same about animals too. We have a dog rescue home near us, i want to go and volunteer there but dh wont let me coz he knows i would come home with a new dog all the time!! I just like to look after people/things.

Holy Cow Moon! Thats almost a whole degree higher than yesterdays?!

Yes, I had a fever during the night, I was sooooooooo hot... it was horrible. It broke midway thru the night, but was still quite up from my normal range when I temped.

I keep getting the feeling I haven't ovulated yet. Normally my boobs would be sore by now, since AF is due tomorrow, but I've got nothing! Just tiny light cramps in my lower abdomen (uterine area). Also have a headache, but I think thats from being sick.
Bedtime now. I am so out of it from being sick.
My dad keeps calling me "goosey lucy" coz my voice sounds all honky from being nasal!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Feel better Moon, or should I say Goosey Lucy!!!

Honey, I think I would pick a girl so DD would have a sister she always wanted, and I wouldnt have to upgrade just yet to a bigger place because the girls would share a room (I have 3 sisters and I liked sharing a room with my best friends). DH said last night he would pick a boy, just in case we truly were done trying, so he'd have a son to carry the name on, and for male bonding fishing trips, racecars, bugs, dirt, dirtbike racing, etc.

Awww how sweet are you for wanting to take in some animals! Not me!
Gosh....5 more sleeps! Urgh! How are you feeling today???....

 

[tryforbaby2]

P.S. As if you havent all noticed already by my crazy antics, I am very emotional.....which is how I get a few days before AF arrives......Ahhhh bloody heck!

 

[tryforbaby2]

So my fortune on facebook today is probably the first one I will follow, it reads:

This is going to be a good moment to look elsewhere, Aquarius. You should do just as the artist does when he has worked on a painting for too long, which is take a step back. You need to see some people, travel, go to the theater, and clear your head. This is never easy for you, but don't hesitate. You will realize afterward that it was the best thing for you to do.



Now if that isnt telling me to step back from ttc, I dont know what is.

 

[honeybee28]

lol goosey lucy!!

awww cute. My dh would love a son to do male bonding with too. I would love a girl to do girl stuff with!!

I'm alright thanks. Half the time i think everything will be ok, half the time I'm convinced I'll go for the scan and noodle wont have grown worrying times.

How are you doing? What are you up to today?xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

I understand the worry.....




Just got back from making gingerbread houses at DD's school, and in a few I have to go back and pick her up from school.

Pizza and cheese fries tonight!!!

As long as everything is ok with thai noodle, you will be 8 weeks already!!! Holy Cow!!!

 

[honeybee28]

no, that's another problem i have. when i went for the scan last week, they said i was 5 weeks. though ivwas 7 weeks based on my lmp. im praying and hoping late ov and late implantation are to blame, rather than it stopped growing. fingers crossed. so im probably around 6 weeks, if it is still ok.

mmm pizza and cheese fries, yum!!!!

very cute picture lady.xxxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Have you looked through some threads in first tri? Some are scarey or very scarey but I hear of that alot too about the dates. They'll say whatever the baby looks like and then next scan it will have caught up to speed!

I am hoping thats the case.

I have to run quick to pick up my food!!! Brb!!!

 

[honeybee28]

thank you, i hope so too.

will say night night now, enjoy your pizza!!xx

Hi Girls,
just checking in. Tryfor-you can pm me anytime here or fb or email me. Or I can give you my # and we can chat. Sometimes I'm inspirational and a support and other times I just need support and help myself. Maybe we can also muddle through this adoption thing together. I want to begin the adoption process (it takes about 8-9 months of orientation/home study, etc.) in early spring (I've promised ourselves a break, and dh really needs time to grieve/think). ......... I'm still sad we most likely won't get a baby. I am afraid I'll never know what its like to hold tiny hands and feet. Love the avatar!

Honey-counting down the days for you!!!!!!!!!! Praying, praying and praying some more! Dinner was lovely thank you. After bragging about it being in the eighties here it has dipped to high 50's at night which is pretty cold for our Floridan blood! We still had a really nice date even if we were the ONLY ones on the patio. But they were playing xmas music and the mall xmas tree was up and they had heaters out there and Marlow was enjoying herself so much it was just nice time.

Anyway-here is how geriatric I've become.....started zumba with Squirrelgirl online and just when we were so proud of ourselves for almost working out a week in a row (she made it, I didn't) I did something very painful to my hip while trying to "twist/shimmy". I haven't been able to zumba in a week.
Well today I was driving in the car and started getting the worst pain in my lower back. I thought it was my kidneys and since I'd felt like I was fighting a bladder infection earlier in the week I went straight to the dr. Well it wasn't an infection-it was inflamation to the ligament that wraps around the hip! From my damn zumba injury!!! Now she's given me steroid pack and I have to stay off it some more. : (
Now also, I was up 7 lbs :shocked: from the last dr. visit last month which is a total of 18 lbs since starting fertility meds and almost 30 pounds from the wedding..........the LAST thing I want to do is take steroids instead of exercising!!!!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Oh No!!! Aww, I haven't done Zumba since last Friday either, so I haven't done much better!!! I hope the medicine helps you get better soon!!

I was planning to restart tonight, but here I am on my couch cuddled in a blanket...... maaaaaaaaaybe tomorrow...... hehe....

 

[Moondance]

Zumba sounds like so much fun. Though coz I'm fat and jiggly, I'd be embarassed about doing it in front of anyone. My dad teases me whenever he sees me doing Wii Fit.
I jiggle way too much!!


And Honeybee, please don't stress that things won't be right. Stressing about them might be the factor in what makes things not right, if anything wasn't right. You shouldn't be stressing now. Your body and your little Thai noodle don't need it. Take a step back from the stressing and do something relaxing to get your mind off it.
I'm a person who naturally stresses over every tiny detail of every aspect of everything. I have major anxiety and when something upsets me or stresses me out, I flip out, I can't eat or sleep or do anything normal. Sometimes I wonder if thats the reason I'm not pregnant yet, too much stress and not enough chillaxing.

I had a solid temp drop this morning. Way down below my coverline. So... AF should be here today I think.
