Angelbaby - have you heard anything. I may have missed your post over the weekend, but I wanted to check on you!

Cowgrl - Let us know something as soon as you can. I was worried when I read your post from yesterday.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I go in for my first u/s on Thursday, so I'm hoping everything turns out good!

Lots of baby dust to all TTCers!  Dh and I have been trying and I think I am close to O but not sure.  I have been testing with OPK and have not gotten a surge yet.  I am going to try to stick with every other day.  Sometime it is hard.  I am also tracking BBT so I can be sure I o.  Anyway, it's kind of drving me crazy and DH keeps saying I am thinking too much about...Well, how could I not!

[DollChina]

I am going to try to relax.  I get really nervous and uptight when dh doesn't want to bd on the right "dates"......I know I am obssesive but I don't know how to control my emotion..Like last Friday he came from being gone for work for a couple days and He fell asleep on the coach at 8:00 so of course I got upset because I hadn't seen him and I thought he'd want to try but we didn't until Sat.  I feel like it's such a chore sometime.  This is becoming very consuming...Help
Anyhow, I am glad your ds is ok.  That's kind of scary..  Well, Dh and I went our for a nice dinner on Sat..so I was getting ready and put on my new knee high brown boots...well I took one step to the hallway (hardwood) and I fell and got pretty bruised up..So I am going to blame this on Staci because she has hurting herself all last week and I think I got it from her, hehe
Baby Dust!

Good morning,ladies.  If any of you know anything about lunaception will you please look at my question in the women's forum?  Thanks!!

[DollChina]

Haha, it was hard enuogh to get my dog out of our bed but we did manage to get him to sleep on the coach...
So any suggestions on getting dh to bd on the right dates without being so routine and pushy?  I know he is tired but I work too and take care of the house!

All last week I couldn't figure out why AF peeked in Mon. & Tues. and then vanished...it wasn't AF, it was implantation (i hope). I got 3 BFPs!!! Have a call in to the Doc. b/c she said to come in as soon as i got one and i didn't wait for my first AF. I pray that everything is ok. my stomach'll be in knots til i go! Please pray that this one "sticks" - I'm kinda nervous...

[Emma1]

Congrats!!! Good luck to you! You're not far behind me at all! Let us know how it goes!

[DollChina]

Oh my gosh, that's great!  Congrats!  BFP is contagious.  I hope I get my bfp soon!  So when did you o and how long until you get implantation bleeding?  I think I am close to o but not sure.  Anyway, good luck to you and let us know how your appt went!
Sticky baby dust!

[DollChina]

I wish I can just relax a little bit.  I am hoping for the + OPK now and I hope it's soon.  Another BFP today so I hope I will get mine in a couple weeks!

hello to everyone!
i have a question and i can't open my own thread because it is already full. well i am 38 weeks pregnant and i am scheduled to be induced this thursday, due to prev. large baby and this one is measuring big. well i woke up this morning feeling okay but for the past hour or so i have been experiencing some cramping, it is not painful and my lower back aches like crazy. obviously i will call doctor in little bit if it doesn't get better but i was curious if anyone else experienced this nand it was in fact labor? thanks in advance for answering my question and good luck to all the TTC'S out there!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! That's great! sticky baby dust to you!******* let's all hope that this BFP's are contagious! Going for my HSG tomorrow to see if we can get the go ahead to ttc this month.

[DollChina]

Well, looks like CP has her BFP and I hope we will get ours very soon.  Sticky baby dust to all!
Anxiuos, I hope you get the green light from the doc!

[pmom]

i have had a few but i figured they was braxton hicks because they have been very irregular. i have been having the braxton hicks for about 2 months and they past few days they have been getting stronger but not regular.

Just to give you my input, when I was preggo with Kennedy, I went in to be induced! When I got there and they hooked me up, my contractions were 6 minutes apart and I had no clue. Like you, I had back pain (braxton hicks) for a couple months, so I never knew the difference. You may want to just give them a call and who knows....You could meet your bundle today! Good luck!

dollchina - got a + on the OPK 2/2 and 2/3 (ran out of test sticks, so i don't know if it was 2/3 or 2/4) To cover all of our bases, we bd'd 2/2, 2/3 & 2/4. Implantation (hopefully that's what is was) happened late on 2/13 and 2/14. It was light at first, like the very beginning of AF, then heavier than i would've though it'd be on Tuesday, but i just saw it once. Drove myself crazy all last week. Had been taking the cheapies from the dollar store since Wed. Took one on Sat and it looked the same - BFN and i put it back in the box to throw it away and then got distracted. When i picked it up to toss it, it slid out of the box and looked like a faint line. I thought it was a waste of a test, but i took out one of the Clearblue digital tests that i had and took it just in case. In about a minute it said Pregnant! I tried not to freak out and i didn't go wake up DH, wanted to take another one just in case and we had our V-day dinner that night. after the 2nd said pg too, i decided to tell him. Bought a bib that said "i love daddy" and had the waiter bring it out with dessert! He was confused at first b/c i told him AF came Monday night, but then he was all smiles!!!

thanks everybody for the congrats and the baby dust! same to ALL of you!!! all those BFPs for the Holiday Babies Club are right around the corner!!

will let y'all know what the Dr. says - if they ever call me back!

[DollChina]

That's so sweet how you told your dh!  I hope eevrything goes well with the doc.  Is this your first?  What kind of OPK did you use?

[CP in BR]

thanks y'all! it was SO hard to keep it a secret til dinner - i almost cracked about 100 times! We went to Emeril's and he was actually there. Wanted him to bring it out, but no such luck - he was too busy cooking!

dollchina - as for the OPK, can't quite remember. I think maybe it was the Walgreen's brand.

[workingmom4]

dollchina, i used to buy a special nightie, my dh likes black lace...LOL.  get help from grandparents or babysitters for help getting older kids out of the house and make sure there isn't a football game or whatever on tv.  :)  have fun

allseedus, i work in a financial institution, and yes, today is prez. day.  we get the day off.  whohooooooo.  rest for me.  of course tomorrow will be busier than heck, and we pay for our days off.  lOL..

hope everyone has a super day.  im fighting hemohrroids (sp and tmi) :)  not fun, but a side effect of pg right!  i hate those creams, they smell like witchhazel wich reminds me of the "bottom problems" i had in the hospital when i lost my premature daughter 2 years ago.  the smell  makes me sick to my stomache, but it helps.
happy monday, and baby and sticky baby dust.

[angelbaby2]

Cutiemama, baby4staci, and emma didn't mean to keep you guys in suspense, and I really appreciate your concern. I did post on Fri about hcg levels and chemical pregnancies, but there were so many posts - easy to miss. My hcg levels went down from 19 to 11 and Friday it was cramping, crying and bleeding. Not nearly as bad as previous 6 week m/c, more like a bad AF. Posted definition of chemical pregnancy as I thought it was informative (I had never heard of this type of m/c). Now I am not as anxious to do HPTs when AF is due because seeing positive pg test only to bleed a few days later is really the pits. Sunday went to church and then DH took me out to lunch to cheer me up and I was bleeding so lightly last night we even got to BD!

I hope the three of you (& me!), stephd, dollchina, and all other ttc'ers get their BFP this month and may each and every one of them stick.  

CP in BR Congrats on your BFP! Welcome to the Holiday Babies Club! My DD was born in DEC 2004, but wouldn't mind another holiday baby at all!

[anxioustobeamom]

stephd-HSG is hysterosalpingogram. they insert a catheter through the cervix and inject dye into your uterus to look for any lesions and what not.

dollchina-thanks!

[DollChina]

Hey, thanks for the baby dust.  I definately need it badly!  I bought a new nightie for V day and he liked it.  Maybe I should go and see if I can find another one!  I will do another OPK this afternoon and I hope to see a +!  I am getting anxiuos!  FF.com said I should O tomorrow but since my M/C last month, I doubt my cycle will be normal but you never know!

[workingmom4]

hey girl, im worried about your possible prm.  and you had heard 2 heartbeats at one time.  my prm i have visited with you about was caused by multiple fetuses.  i was just wondering if you have had any answers.  i cant find your email address.  i would like to visit with you if you want me to.  find me if you need my help.  im thinking of you.  sticky baby dust too *****

[DollChina]

I hope you can give your dh a BFP as an anniversary present!

[luv_babies]
