OMG, SHANA! That is sooooo frickin' funny! I can't believe it and Congrats! That is soo, soo neat. Not that a girl wasn't but what a fun suprise! I literally laughed out loud here at work! What fun. I'm so happy for you all. I was thirlled about a girl to but it's just so funny that you were "set" or so you tought and then WHAM. Life is full of all kinds of suprises. So glad you didn't paint your nursery. I'm sure Ethan will get over the Sophia thing. Congrats again. A snoogle is a GIANT pillow for pregnant ladies that you can just flop all over and get some good support. My belly has started falling to the side when I sleep and it's not comfy. I can't wait! It's gonna take up the whole bed. ↑
Shana you are too funny! How crazy that your sweet little Sophia is really a handsome little man!
So you got a big surprise huh? I can't wait till my appt on Thursday. Those pains you are talking about I have had since about 8 weeks. The sharp pain when you move suddenly or roll over in bed. The discomfort I was feeling was a constant dull ache in the lower abdomen. It is all gone now so I feel much better. Lexxy, I forgot you are also in the 2ww with Erin, Judi and Lisa? I hope we hear about some BFP's soon! Judi you are totally a hottie, and you shouldn't worry so much about what people think of you. We all know you are such a sweetie and would never think you were conceited or anything negative. Go get him tiger! Jstay so glad to hear you think the m/s is starting to clear up! That is wonderful news. Once the sickness goes and the fatigue go being pregnant really holds a whole new meaning! Then comes the 3rd trimester....but we won't think of that right now hehehee. So my check up and lab work is tomorrow am and I will get to hear the heartbeat which will make me feel better after this weekend. think positive thoughts for me ladies! ↑
Hello ladies...OK...so I am gone one day for dd/s bday and you all decide to start chiming in regular!!!! LOL. First.....SHANAT>....HAHAHAHA That is soooo funny !!! I felt the same way with my little guy...and I still do. I soo am enjoying being able to buy little man stuff. It is awesome !!! ALthought hey did not tell me it was a girl first !!! HAHA. CONGRATS !!! JUDY...dont feel bad...bding on cd 12-17 is usually the best...so you should be ok !!! I pray you get your sticky healhty bean!!! JILL....haha/...new boulder holders. I am hoping you are feeling better...and dont you have your scan this week also???? I cant wait to see what you are having also..... How is your mom doing??? LISA>...stop pookin th girls....HAHAHAH. MISSP.... Good luck with your exam tomarrow !!!! Hopefully Tyler is still going strong for another few weeks !!! CLAUDS...still glad you are sticking with us. I am not nervous about the birth at all....but this is my third time. My advice to you...do not listen to everyones horror stories... Enjoy your birth...even though there is pain...it will be over soon and you will be holding your baby. As for me ladies...>I had my doc appt today....and doc said she can medicate me to stop the BH contractions....but I told her no. I am weird about taking meds. And she said If I go into labor in two weeks, she will not stop it. SO I could have Carson as early as 2 weeks. ALthough I am praying he stays put until Sep.. I guess we will see. My next appt is next friday and then I start going every week !!! YEY>....home stretch !!! OK...I start watching my little niece tomarrow morning every day for a few hours...so I need to get to bed early !!! BOO !! Talk to you all tomarrow !!! ↑
Shana T I am cracking up! We all know it's great to have a boy or a girl but it is so funny the way it has happened. Congrats on Ethan, Sophia is still a beautiful name maybe you can use that next time. Well I burst into tears upon getting to work but am feeling better now. This is such a rollercoaster of emotions and most of the time I understand that things happen for a reason. But on the train into work I was reflectiing on how I have to pay a higher price than basically everyone I know. Most of the time I can bear this, and I definitely think it is worth it if my daughter is proof, but it is sometime's a heavy load to carry! Anyway, whine over!! Judi, I am sending you bonking vibes from Australia, I hope you are getting busy right now. Use my personal tip for getting pregnant which is to make sure you lie down for 30 mins and then summon hubby back and have an orgasm yourself. Taht gives the swimmers enough time to get to where they need to go and then sweeps them inside liek a tidal wave. I have gotten preg every time I have used "the method". However, i am clearly rubbish at actually carrying a baby! Fingers crossed next time I get a keeper. Thinking of you ladies. I love that I found this thread, my friends are supportive but no one understands until they have miscarried themselves. ↑
Hi girls, just a quick post from m today as i have like a trillion things to do - firstly, congrats shana!! Im soo excited that you got that surprise! I originally wanted a girl for my first one and i thought this one was a girl, so i got a guy surprise too, but i lov the thought of a little boy now. Hes gonna be so cut! Wow thres a lot of little boys being born here! Shabnam - your carrying the flag at the moment! Clauds, its so nice to have you back and you have been through the mill. Congrats on getting to 30weeks! Il be joining you on sunday. I didnt envy you the task of catching up on this thread tho, that must have been a toughie! Lilymommy and judisarah - im thinking of you both and sending some positive thoughts and babydust your way. You will gt through this and being here definitly helps. Stay strong girls. Smmom - wow so thy think you may go into preterm labour on your own? well youd be about 36wks wouldnt you so thats ok. Personally the way iv been feeling lately i wouldnt mind if Tyler came about then because im in so much pain and the thought of 11wks more of it just getting worse is killing me! and then immediately afterwards i feel rally guilty. Poor little Tyler deserves his 40wks like other babies, its just me being selfish! Bryandi - im hoping your check up gos smoothly today, let us know. Jstaley - hows the sickness today? Lexxy and Lisamc and Erin - hows the ttc going and has the 2ww started yet?? Shabnam - do you really think that we will get less sleep once th babies born? I think il get more, im probably being daft arnt i! But to be honest i couldnt possibly gt less sleep than i am at the moment. Even Mt Pillow isnt helping much. Neither is dh as hes a bit frisky at the moment and i am sooo not in the mood what with tiredness and aches and pains everywhere. I keep pointing him in the direction of the cold shower! Bless him, its nice he still finds me attractive despite my hugeness. Ok well id bst get some work done, have a grat day lovely ladies! x x ↑
Hello ladies...Tuesday...hey its better then Monday !! BRYANDI...I forgot to wish you luck on your appt today!!! LILLY...you are alowed to whine as much as you need...that is why we are all here !!! It is a heavy burden for us to all carry..and not something that ever goes away. Sure we cope with it defferently after time...but it is still sad and hard to remember what could have been. Just remember what CAN be, and focus on that. And not true...we all know you CAN carry a baby..Lilly is proof !!! MISSP....hello there !!! Dont you have your doc appt every Tuesday !! I am excited to hea what they say about Tyler. And I deliveredd dd at 38 weeks and a couple days...so with all my bh contractions my doc thinks it may be possible. Of course, he may prove us totally wrong and stick in there until Sept....which would be fine with me. And Iol at pointing dh to the shower....stick to your mt. pillow and try to sleep !!! OK ladies...I am just sitting here with my little 3 month old niece and she isnt even awake for me to enjoy !!! Oh well..I suppose she will be soon !!! Have a good day ladies. ↑
Oh yes...Bryandi....it is very normal to have extra discharge during pg....even with a little smell...I know it is gross..but the truth of wha we go through. ALso...if you are having pain or pressure it sould be a uti. So tell you doc about it for sure !! ↑
SHANA!!! OMG - thats crazy! I am so happy for you, a beautiful healthy perfect baby and a boy! I tell you my DS is the light of my life. I have always wanted a daughter, but for me I always wanted my boy first, boys love their mom's... its just perfect!!! There is a whole new world out there filled with trucks, sports and dirt and your about to find out what's its all about! I couldn't be happier for you - I LOVE the name ETHAN... I am smiling so big right now! JUDI: Since you didn't post after the afternoon yesterday I am going to assume you were way to "busy" to visit us..... hope it all went as planned. I am currently on CD18, when I got my bfps I tested positive on CD26 and CD25 so I think maybe next Thursday or Friday I might have to break down and test. I dont have any symptoms yet but I am looking for them, I feel very positive about this month, I don't know for sure but I think we timed it right... are you going to test next week? How about the other ttc gals.... ??JSTALEY: I am not pregnant but I want a snoogle! I love the name of it and I am a pillow addict, poor DH had to get used to sharing his bed with me and my 50 pillows when we got married.... I need them to sleep comfortably.... How is the m/s? BRANDYI: All my fingers and toes are crossed for you to have a great appointment and hear that beautiful sound of your babies heartbeat! I forget how far along are you? Have you heard the heartbeat yet? SMMOM: you are one busy lady! I don't know how you do it..... make sure you rest! LILLYMUMMY: Bonking vibes to JUDI... you are too funny, that cracked me up! I will try your method next month if I don't get my BFP. I didn't know you are in Australia..... I have always wanted to go there.... I am sorry you haven't been feeling great... this is a hard road to be on and your right, people who haven't experienced it have no idea. We are here for you girl... WHINE! It helps sometimes to get it out. MISSP: Yes I am in the tww... but only a week to go. I don't feel much but that doesn't mean anything. I am sorry your so uncomfortable... it will be worth it when Tyler is here. That is tough with the DH feeling frisky right now, I can imagine that is the last thing you want to do when your feeling like this. But your right, its nice he is still attracted to you. You know I read somewhere that alot of men are more attracted to their partners when they are carrying their baby.... I am afraid my DH will be one of the ones that is afraid of hurting the baby. Time will tell...... Where are Erin, Lexxy.... who am I missing?? COME BACK GIRLS!!! WE MISS YOU!!! Ok, better get some work done.... sending baby dust to those who need it and some comfortable vibes to you preggo girls! I hope to join you soon! (ok the first thing I do at work every single day is log on and post to you girls.... I can't start my day without catching up with all my buddies... wonder if my boss would mind.. LOL!) LISA ↑
Well yesterday I had my cd19 sono because I han't had a LH surge yet. They found 8-10 small follicles on the right ovary and one large follicle on the left that measured 17x25. That is a very good sign and shows that I didn't ovulate yet but will soon. Yesterday and this morning I still had neg opt so we will see if it happens. ↑
ERIN - there you are! that's great news that you are about to O. my temping sucks so i don't know how accurate it is and when i have O-ed and if i have O-ed at all. as mentioned before, i bd-ed on cd 13, 15, 17, and 21. lets pray for each other that there's good news in 2 wks for us all! MISSP - sorry again about your pain, but you're not being selfish, it's understandable. i'm sure you and tyler will be fine soon, God willing. SMMOM - i didn't realize the bh contractions could actually lead to labor. i thought that they were always false. LILYMUMMY - thanks for your advice, it sounds very interesting. haha. i think i am done for this round even though i don't know if i O-ed :( JSTALEY - thanks for the kind words. i hope you enjoy your shoogle. what a name, haha. so were you right in thinking that the m/s is going down? BRYANDI - thanks for being so nice. even if i don't care of what others think, i care what you ladies think b/c you're my friends. chime in after your appt to let us know how everything is just great. SHANA - forgot to mention that ethan is a nice name. i'm still pretty excited about your news! who knew! LISA - i don't know whether to test on cd 25 or 26 b/c what if i O-ed late? AF date is supposed to be on the 29th, but hopefully it won't show b/c i'll be pg by then. maybe i'll test then? on the 29th? i am so hopeful and scared at the same time. btw, my dh is similar in terms of not wanting to hurt the baby. that's what he said last time. this time he'll probably be even more cautious. oh and when is cd 26 for you? as in what date? LEXXY - where are you? bd-ing? as for me... i bd-ed last night. i am thinking of continuing the every other day until the 29th in case i O super late. i don't know how into it dh will be. lets see. praying for you all and expecting mad prayers from you ladies! lots of love!!! ↑
JUDI: CD26 will be next Wednesday (7/30). My AF is due on Thursday or Friday of that week. I have never been able to wait until AF is late, I always test early. I really feel this is it... lets hope I am right!!!! ↑
LISA - not only am i hoping, i am totally praying that you are right. may God bless us (you, me, ERIN, and LEXXY) for this month with a healthy baby bean that we can carry all the way to full term and then deliver a beautiful healthy baby, God willing, Amen! i hope i haven't offended anyone w/all this prayer talk! anyway... i have to ask something gross. last night, after dh and i did the deed, i lay there with my bottom on a bunch of pillows for about 30 to 45 min as usual. then i had to pee so when i went, i pee-ed, but then i also felt some discharge come out and i saw it fall into the toilet. it was like a blob of white stuff (from what i could see in the yellow pee). it was like a laid it, just a blob came out not even like a little bit on the toilet paper, it just fell out. sorry tmi. anyone know what it means? obviously it's CM, but what kind? like fertile kind or pre-O kind? anyone? ↑
JUDI: I am not really religious at all but AMEN to that! I really pray we all get it our babies ... What would the due date be? April? That works for me!!! To answer your question, that has happened to me and I thought it was left over "man stuff" (for lack of a better word)? I dont' know what else it could be??? Ok, I am so glad your around during the day, I keep checking in because I don't want to work!!! ↑
LISA - i am so glad you check in too during the day! i am on the computer all day and along at work and i keep gmail and sometimes this page open. now that i have a few cycle buddies (even if 2 are MIA) i am checking like hourly and writing in to see how everyone is doing especially w/their cycles, the ttc and 2ww. currently i am hoping my ladies w/their appts chime in soon (that's BRYANDI and MISSP). ↑
Hello ladies.....ERIN....I am glad the doc gave you some good news. That means you need to bd like crazy for the next weeks or so. JUDI....you blob (lol) that fell out was man gunk.....dont worry though...the swimmers that made it are already where they need to be. From what I have been told it only takes a few minutes to get where they are going. Not sure of exact time....but I believe you are fine. LISA>...lets hope af skips her visit to all you ttc ladies for the next 9 months. I am so crossing everything for you ladies !!! As for me..I am pooped out today !! I am not used to getting up so early anymore and taking care of a baby !! Plus she does not like to be put down at all, so it is hard to get anything done !!! I guess I will have to figure it out huh !! ↑
Lily, it is tough after a m/c. YOu go through such a wide range of emotions
and the low's are very low and upsetting. I still haven't allowed myself to think
about my delivery with this little bean. I think of it a day at a time and never get ahead
of myself just in case something might happen. After my appt today I actually allowed myself to think
that I just might be bringing home a new baby in December. That is the first time that thought has run through
my head since getting pg after my m/c. After what that baby has been through this past weekend, what with the stress and
running to catch my plane, if he/she is still going strong then just maybe we will have a chance. Smmom I told the doc about the pain
I had and the discharge and the pain she said was my uterus bouncing around in my tummy as I ran frantically from one end of the airport
to the other, but likely they baby hadn't been harmed at all. I told her about the discharge and she did a culture to check for bacterial vaginosis.
She said it could also be urine. I have had a lot of discharge since being pg and always had it with my other two kiddos, but this discharge is different than
anything. My doc said if the tests come back negative for the infection then it is definately urine and that sometimes it smells different because it is more concentrated.
LISA, not much longer before you can test!!! YAY! I can't wait to hear from you! I will be sitting on the edge of my seat until then. I have heard the heartbeat before. I am 19 weeks
today. Baby's heartbeat was 154. ERIN that is great news about the large follicle!!! BD like crazy girl! You gotta catch that egg! JUDI AF is due in a week!!! I bet you are all nerves right now.
Is this the first month you have been on Clomid? What days did you take it? Good luck. I have heard that Clomid can make you O later depending on what days you took it on. I took it with ds but before that my
periods were never regular so I didn't really know if it made me later or earlier, just more regular. LOL smmom. You better get used to the early mornings quick!! Carson may only give you another two weeks to prepare
before he makes the grand appearance. Rory has never really let me get back to having lots of sleep. He typically wakes me up at 5am and the mornings he sleeps in to 6:30 are the ones that he wakes me up at 2 or 3 fussing (thankfully
he settles himself, but I am one of those unfortunate people that it takes me a half an our to 40 min before I can fall back asleep once I am woken up). So anyway as you all have figured from my responses above my dr appt went very good.
The doctor took a culture for bacterial vaginosis and the babies heartrate was 154. Doc says everything looks good. She asked if I was feeling a lot of movement and I told her not too much and if I hadn't had kids before I might not even know
that is what it is. She said that chances are the placenta is in front of the baby blocking the sensation of the movements. Otherwise things are good. 2 days left till we have the big sono!!! I can't wait! ↑
SMMOM - man gunk, eew. hah. i have never had that happen before. i have leaked out, but not like that... not like heavy discharge style. anyway, that's sweet you are taking care of your niece. bryandi is right, you have to get back to being used to. when do your niece's parents come to pick her and where are they? BRYANDI - sooo glad your appt went so well, God bless! you will bring home a beautiful and healthy baby in dec. to answer your Q, yes this is my 1st month on clomid (actually, the generic version) and i took it on CD5-9. i was told to bd starting cd14, every other day for a week. my temps don't seem to say i O-ed, but as i have said before, i suck at temping so who knows. i am just praying and hoping. please hook me up w/some baby dust and crossed fingers! i so concerned i won't get bfp this month, God forbid, but i am trying to be really positive and hoping it happens this month, God willing, for me, LISA, LEXXY and ERIN! where is everyone? ↑
Bryandi.....I have Carson...MissP has Tyler....HAHA..that is twice !!! Third time is strike out !!! I am glad the doc said everything is going well. ALso I am going to say you are having a boy... It seems I have started a trend on this board !!!!!! YEY ! Shab carries the lone torch for a girly right now !!! Looks like Jill needs to and maybe Sarah9 needs to come through for girls !! And I guess Clauds...you dont know the sex right?? JUDI..... I am watching my little niece that was born on my edd with ALyssa...so it is a little bitter sweet. But her mommy had to go back to work.. so she comes to me during the day !!! SHe is almost 3 months old. Can you believe that !!! Well ladies..I am off to bed....so as to ry and get used to this new schedule !! NIGHT ! ↑
Good Morning Ladies... Happy Hump Day (which could have a whole different meaning for some of us :) JUDI: Isn't this waiting horrible? I just want to know if it worked this month! Have you had any symptoms yet? I guess I have a few things I could consider symptoms but I am trying not to obsess. My DS left for vacation with his dad today... gone for 10 days... its so hard. I cried all morning. He goes with his dad every other weekend and lives with me and DH, all my friends with children tell me I am so lucky I get a break from mom duties... but its never fun, he hates going with his dad and the poor kid got the step mother from HELL. She is right out of a fairy tale.. the evil step-monster so that makes it even harder for me because he isn't happy there. So I will be very sad for the next week and a half until my boy is back where he belongs. At least I have the tww to keep me busy... SMMOM: You must be exhausted caring for a 3 month old along with your other duties.... although she must be so cute, there is nothing like a baby. I hope they dont' work you too hard! BRANDYI: I am so happy for you, sounds like things are going great. I am excited for you and can't wait to hear about your scan... I wonder if I will ever be able to get excited about being pregnant, we have already decided when I do get my BFP we aren't doing the early blood tests and ultrasound's... it just adds to the stress and honestly if I was going to lose another one the early scans and tests wont prevent that. So we are going to try to keep it as "normal" as possible... whatever that means! Ok... roll call - where are all of you? MISSP, CLAUDS,SHAB, ERIN, LEXXY, LILLYMUMMY????? (If I missed someone I am sorry!).... miss you all and I start to worry when you don't post for awhile. I know some of you are going through alot right now, but we are here... waiting to support you! Ok - i will check in soon.. I know JUDI will be here! Love to you all! LISA ↑
Morning, ladies. LISA…that is such a bummer for your son that he is unhappy at his dad’s plus the evil stepmom thing! Lame…at least he’ll always like you best. Hee hee. So, how is the tww treating you? JUDI, LEXXY and ERIN? ERIN sounds like you need to be gettin’ busy! I can’t wait until you all can start testing. Come on BFP’s across the board! Shelly, how is the babysitting coming? I can’t imagine trying to get stuff done, super pregnant, hot and holding a new baby. Good luck with that lady. You’re my hero this week. BRYANDI, sounds like a great appt. Hope the bacteria tests come back okay. So your sono is tomorrow? I can’t wait to hear what you are having. SHELLY, I’m not finding out so you all will just have to wait about 20 more weeks before we see if I’m adding to the boys team or the girls team. So, I weighed myself again this morning and overall…I have still lost two pounds since I got pregnant. I started at 145 and was 143 this morning. I haven’t been barfing THAT much…I mostly just feel sick so I’m sure my eating is a little different but I have been very conscious of making sure I’m getting enough food for baby AND I have a great bump. How could I not have gained more weight? I’m not freaking out that it’s a problem as I feel totally fine, I was just surprised and can’t figure out how I have this huge new bump and no weight to show for it. Any thoughts? I’d also heard I should have gained about 10-13 pounds by now. Is it safe to say that every pregnancy is different and I shouldn’t really worry about it? I don’t go to the doc until week 21 (dh is out of town on our 20th week and I wanted him here for our big ultrasound so we’re waiting until 21 weeks) and that is still a few weeks off so I’ll just have to wait and see what she thinks, I guess. Okay, enough about me! MISSP, how are things going for you and Tyler? CLAUDS, staying out of trouble? I think I’m gonna go round up some lunch. Talk to you lovely ladies later! ↑
