Baby Dust!

[kandm]

Hey girl!!!!!! i am wishing you good luck. hope O happens real soon. i am going to get my blood tested again today to see where my levels are! i am keeping my fingers crossed for you -- hopefully we can get that BFP at the same time!!!! baby dust to you and everyone! :):):)

[DollChina]

I'd like to get an update on everybody..
Stephd, thanks, your af will be over with soon!  Did you get the opk?  I got a basal body thermometer to track temp too.  Am I obsess enough? Haha, I can't wait for the BFP!  DH will be home tonight..
Staci, Are you crampy....
Kandm, where are you?
Hello, mama, anxious, wanting, and all TTCers =D

[DollChina]

I hope your hcg is down to 0!  Keep us posted!  Do you feel af is coming?  Have you guys been bding?

[baby4Staci]

No.. No af yet.  mmmm   I am crampy, bbs are tender.. WHERE IS AF???  no chance of pg, dh and i used protection during bd.  

If i dont have this AF by monday i am going to call the DR!!

This is driving me nuts..  

Oh, Dolly,
I had a dream last night that my aunt (who is 56 years old) was pg with a baby boy.  ????????? WEIRD  that is 3 nights of baby dreams...

[DollChina]

Haha, you and your dreams...have you been talking to you family about geting pregnant?  I haven't dreamt about that for a while.

[baby4Staci]

Do you all have any reservations about trying again so soon?? I am wondering if it will be safe or just stressful.  I know women get pregnant again real soon after a m/c.  DH and I will be trying once af is over.. But i was just wondering if you ladies were nervous..

[DollChina]

NOT AT ALL!  Just nervous about keeping it!  Your body is ready, I think it is just the matter of emotional healing.

[mammasita]

Still waiting to test... Af is due Tesday. Lets hope shes late!
Im glad we only waited one cycle to TTC again. Im 39 this month! I dont have the luxury of waiting! Good luck and baby wishes all!! Yeah, holiday babies!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

[CP in BR]

Houdini couldn't do this good a dissappearing act! Got a sneak peak of AF on Monday (which should've been 5 days early based on O)and then another glimpse on Tuesday, but NOTHING since! B/c i'm a test-a-holic like some of you other ladies, i tested this AM just in case and got the BFN. What in the world is going on???

[mammasita]

I feel like I did when I was pregnant. Bloated, sore boobs, crampy... But, at the same time this could be PMS. Im sure you know the feeling and its the waiting that is the worst.

I wish I would have gotten jewels for V-day! The best way to find someone for massage is to get a personal referal. Wish I could help!

Have a fab. weekend!
Melanie

I just wanted to give you an update...had d & c 1/12.  AF arrived 2/15. DR said to wait another month to start ttc so if all goes well and we get the BFP after 3/16 AF, due date would be 12/21....that would be an amazing Christmas present...Baby Dust to all the TTC's.

[anxioustobeamom]

well, AF is almost over! have my HSG on Tuesday. after that we'll see what the doctor says. hopefully it's a go and we can get pregnant right away. however, i will be in florida with a friend when i should ovulate for a weekend. so not sure if it'll happen for me. but we'll see. there is always next month and still have a holiday baby. i'm trying not to stress about it too much. it's hard not to. i would have been 35 weeks today. kind of a depressing day for me. maybe b/c i'm also nervous of trying again and being able to keep the next one. oh well. one day at a time right? *****baby dust to all******

[Wanting]

I am rooting for you too!  Good luck this time round with TTC.  I pray against any m/c's in your future.  What is your son's name?  Is he going thru the terrible twos?  We are trying for our first but I have been an Aunty for 71/2 years.  I have 3 nephews and a neice and my DH has a nephew and neice so we're pretty busy when we get around al them.  I love it though and it is making me want one so badly!  The youngest nephew is 5 months.

[baby4Staci]

ok guys i am realy crampy right now.. I am afraid to go to the bathroom to check...  Sorry if TMI!! hahaha.. I am eating some delicious taco salad for lunch right now.. Mmm healthy. :-)

[kandm]

Hey!! I have been here...just havent been around during the day when you guys are on!!! i read everything at night when i cant during the day. but i miss talking to you guys!!!:) i dont feel like AF is coming....so who knows. me and dh have been bding. so i guess there is always that chance!!! but i am not getting that stuck in my head. so i guess i am in limbo -- either waiting for AF or that chance that i could be preg. i have no idea what is going on. so i am just going with it and trying not to stress too much about it. but it is always on my mind!!! :) i am hoping that you get some good news soon!!!!!!!! keep me posted! BABY DUST............

[DollChina]

I am kind of stressing about it..I just think about it all the time.  Hate to see that BFN!

[baby4Staci]

I know..  It is just so frustrating to want your body back to normal.  I went to the Dr's on tuesday for my sinus infection and the nurse was like.. When was your LMP?? i was like.. WELL that is where it gets complicated.. BUT i reassured her i was NOT pg.  hahaha.

[DollChina]

I still don't think my body is normal even AF arrived.  I will feel better if I o on the "right" date so I know my cycle length is back to the normal 27-29 days...

[cmn]

I just read your post from Yesturday, Woo hoo you got your BFP CONGRATULATIONS. I'm so happy for you, how are you feeling? Have you gotten your test results back yet?

[Wanting]

Awe poor guy falling off the bed!  Troy is a cute name.  I like it.  What are you going to name your next one?  Boy or Girl.

[Dublin77]

Just really looking for support, I am worried and have found comfort here before. Today I should be 9 weeks 4 days and starting Wednesday I feel like any symptoms I had have totally gone away (except back pain and being tired). I don't feel sick, my head is fine, and I'm no longer bloated. My next doctors appt isn't until 2/23 and I don't know if I should call and tell them what is going on or if I am just over reacting. Is this normal not to feel pregnant anymore? I'm so distraught and I can't help but think what's going on every second of the day. Anyone ever go though the same situation?

[Emma1]

Hey girl! Thanks!!!! I'm really excited and really really scared. My level on Monday was 46 and then on WEd. it was 150.6. It more than doubled, so that concerned me, but she said I was still in range and that she wasn't worried! I feel really good. Bloated, and oh boy do I hurt betweem the legs when I walk a long time. But they say that happens with third babies! I go in next Thurs. for an u/s. Hoping that everything is where it should be! My progesterone was high (good high) 24.4. So, so far so good! I hope it stays that way! How are you doing?

[baby4Staci]

I got af.  :-D  

I felt like an idiot smiling to myself in the bathroom.  :-)  

[anxioustobeamom]

well there you go! congrats on AF! haha! that sounds funny. next step, BFP!!!!

[Wanting]

baby4staci - that is great about af!  Now you and DH can start TTC!!

Steph - Amaya is an original name, it is after anyone or did you and DH make it up?  I like it.  That is so funny that he is named after a football star!  That's something my DH would do!  Actually one of our boy names is after his favorite european soccer team.  It is our second boy's name - Bayern Madison.  Our first one is Jordan Kenneth Otto (Jordan is DH's name and then the 2 grandpa's).  Our first girls name is Makayla Joy and the second is Jaylene Rae.  What do you think of them?

[cmn]

Glad that all your levels were normal, and i can't wait to hear how your U/S goes. Are you going to find out the sex of this baby? What are you hoping for?

I'm doing great, had a check up today and got the results of my last U/S. Babies kidney's are great there in the normal range now, and the baby was breech at the time. When i had my check up today, baby is now Vertex and i'm hoping he/she stays that way. He did say i'm still early, and that the baby can still go back into the breech position. Now i'm just trying to figure out when i should leave work, i'm going to have to talk to DH on this one.

[angelbaby2]

Baby4staci - Congrats on your AF! Wish I felt same way about mine. Hcg levels down from 19 to 11, so although I'm still not clear on what to call this loss of pregnancy, I officially have my AF today so you and me are on exact same road!

Stephd - thanks for your previous comments and hopefully the three of us will see our BFPs next month and see them stay!

Since a hcg level over 5 means you are pregnant and mine hit at least 19, have I m/c'd? Does anyone know what a chemical pregnancy means?

[baby4Staci]

I am so sorry about the loss of this Pg.  http://www.askdramy.com/chempreg.html  There is a link that might answer your questions.. From the looks of this, this was considered a miscarriage.  We just have the fortune/misfortune of knowing that we are pregnant sooner. Again, i am sorry...  But yes.. i guess we are on the exact same page now..  Here is to a march BFP!!

[cutiemama]

I'm so sorry you're going through this stess and uncertainty. It could be a chemical pg but I guess the only way to know is to wait for yesterday's hcg results to make sure that hcg doubled. Bleeding/spotting can indicate a m/c but for a lot of women it can be totally normal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.  Very best of luck and keep us posted.

[baby4Staci]

I was hoping to get some gift certificates for a massage for v-day but i got jewelry instead (dont worry not complaining) haha.  But i am ready to go and get one.  I just wish i knew of a good place to go.  how are you feeling??? Any sore boobs cramps nausea????

[angelbaby2]

Last night I started spotting, very lite pink on tissue only, but by this morning I am cramping and have bright red just like AF. Told DH last night about positive pg tests and the fear I was miscarrying. He told me he loved me very very much and to try and not worry. Is it possible for me to have AF and still be pregnant? I had such pronounced pg symptoms thruout yesturday. My OB says it was a chemical pregnancy - that hcg got released even though no conception. Has anyone heard of this? My hcg levels were only 19 on the 14th and I'm still waiting to hear from my primary dr. what yesturdays were. He wanted me to get ultra sound today, but OB said nothing shows up unless hcg levels are at least 2500. Is this m/c or just late AF? Anybody hear of having a chemical pregnancy before and have such significant pg symptoms?

[baby4Staci]

Oy.. I am sorry you are going through this right now.  I thought that HCG can only be released if there is a pregnancy!!???  I hope your bleeding stops... Are you still having pg symptoms today??? I hope you feel better and i hope this baby sticks.. STICKY STICKY STICKY DUST

[Wanting]

Dolly - good morning to you too.

Stephd - you know how I had said that maybe DH and I could TTC on our cruise?  Well no such luck.  I looked a the calendar and I will be due for AF 2 days into the cruise.  Let's pray for a success this month so I don't get it!  

TTCERS - Have a great day and god luck on your journeys.  Pregos, good luck and happy healthy pregnancies!

Cheers.
