touching base

[waitn838]

hey ladies...how is everybody doing today? any updates to share?

me...same ol same ol...just waiting for june 5 then hopefully ill have more exciting news to share :)

[waitn838]

any new updates ladies?

today marks exactly 2 weeks until i meet with my hemo again to see where i stand with TTC....im getting so anxious

i think my partner is scared **itless of TTC and me getting preg given what i went through but I am willing to risk everything to have one more baby brought into my life and a playmate for my son...

hope theres some good news out there and that all us ladies are having a better day today :)

[waitn838]

your 2 cents is the best 2 cents ive gotten in a long time

thank you for sharing...i know im frustrated with how everything is working for me and i know i love my partner

i think you're right....i take it out on him...the good and bad...

ill discuss with a type of time out for us

gosh and we havent even begun TTC yet....i dont want this to continue this way....it just makes me feel awful

and now my day is dragging on :/

[Tarobinc]

This whole ttc, at times, is tough on me and DH.  I tend to verbalize alot more than he does (odd, right?  j/k).  Everyone has different ways of venting and it usually seems that those closet to us, get brunt of it.  I tend to hold back with friends and family but when it comes to DH, I let it all out...good or bad...which I know is not always the greatest thing to do but I think you have to have someone to be like that with.  

Maybe  having a date night, just the two of you, would offer a nice "escape". That's what DH and I do when things get tough...even if its a slice of pizza (don't tell my nutrionist!) and a walk around the park.  And talk of ttc is off limits for that time period.  Its like we take a time out, sort of.  Anyway, just my two cents....

[waitn838]

alright ladies....15 more days til i go see my hemo doc....OT but pretty significant...my partner and i have been having more disagreements lately...sometimes i feel like im angry at him all the time for not taking responsibility and now im left wondering...how the heck is he gonna want a baby with me when we're always arguing...hopefully its just a phase but i feel like poo (hahaha scienceteacher) today for this


how are the rest of you doing?

[waitn838]

that's great news

so my dieting now just very well might be good in my TTC journey once i get started again

oh...that gives me hope and gives me more endurance to continue trying to lose weight for now

congrats momma!!!!

[Tarobinc]

ok, second FRER line darker in the + area but still faint but again, Ill take that!  Just stick baby! Still nervous since it soooo early on.....but still smiling about it!

I am seeing a nutrionist and it has been helping me ...I lost 6lbs since seeing her about a month ago.  Just adding in 5 servings of veggies and fruits has helped esp. if I replace my old "bad" snacks with them!  I email her a weekly food diary and she comments on it when we meet in person.  I only walk these days during the ttw.

babyblue07:  will you test early?  I hope for a BFP for you!!!!
And everyone else as well!!!  SSBD!

[waitn838]

next month would be nice (since its so close) but wishful thinking on my part

but june 5 is a'coming up....yay

[Heather5]

Thanks, waitn! I hope you'll be back in the game soon too :-)

[waitn838]

ill try anything....

its a great way to keep my mind focused on something and working towards a goal...there is nothing wrong with being healthy and im working to make it happen

best of luck to you...im hoping to be TTC again very soon

[Heather5]

I think it's great that you have a goal, especially since you're not able to TTC at the moment. Plus, moderate exercise and eating healthier would probably be good for your fertility anyway :-) I'm not trying to loose weight, but I just joined a gym last week and I'm trying to eat a little better too. Who knows, maybe it will help us both get closer to a sticky BFP...

[waitn838]

im also 5'3" and have always been small framed until recently

im just trying to start off my preg iin a better condition and since i have a blood clotting disorder that causes me to clot faster than normal it only makes sense to me to not start off my preg overweight

maybe its just all in my head but it gives me hope and a goal to work towards :)

[tea_berries]

okay now I see your point.  :) But mind you I have I friend  who weighs 170lbs and she got prego.  don't think too much about these things.  it will be a long wait if you think too much into it.  :) I know easier said than done.  anyway.  I wonder if I gained because of the prenatal vitamins.  It's not normal for me to be 113 I am only 5'3" and never in my life have I hit more than 110.  I am not sure If I should be happy or not.  I am just hoping that my body is getting itself ready for pregnancy... That's me thinking on the brighter side :)

[waitn838]

my pics are old....i typically weight 120ish and i was over 150 at my last visit

now mind you...ive quit smoking and was 4 1/2 months preg so i gained weight...

blood clots are more likely to form in somebody who is overweight and i dont want to start off my preg at 150...id like to be in the 130s to low 140s but 130s is my goal

[tea_berries]

I am glad you are nearing ttc again.  and why to you have to loose weight? you don't look overweight in your pics.  Did your doctor tell you to do so? I think you look amazing and you don't need to loose any weight. :)

[waitn838]

you know im waiting for you BFP news...i know i wont have any BFP this cycle which should end right around my hemo appt so if im able to start TTC after that ill be able to catch O next cycle....

so i got 1 to who knows how many more cycles of not being able to TTC...but im getting closer each cycle...lol

dont be worried about your symtoms....every preg is different :)

[tea_berries]

hey ladies :) I am glad to see you all in one post :) today is CD21 for me.  Not sure when I O'd but AF is due June 1.  Crossing my fingers for BFP.  the only different thing about me this month is I gained a few pounds.  from 108 all my life I went to 110 and over the weekends I found out I gained another 3 so I am 113lbs now.  Weight is still ideal I think.  It must be from all the prenatal vitamins I take and probably my hormones are finally balance? don't know.  But constipation stopped already... DArn.  I used to get super constipation due to high progesterone.  Who knows what's happening inside me.. I just cant wait for my TURN to announce to everybody that I finally got BFP.....I hope it's our turn soon ladies :)

[waitn838]

every preg is different....completely different  :)

[4Angie]

Thanks.  I guess I will decide in the morning.  I am a teacher so I may have just caught a bug from one of my students.  I would have said that it is my mind playing tricks on me, but I have not felt this way any of the previous months.  I thought I was pregnant last month.  Plus, I did not feel nauseated until I was 6 weeks pregnant with dd.

[waitn838]

i got my last BFP at 12dpo and my HCG was 303 already....they thought i was having more than but it really was just one

i dont think its too soon to test but dont be discouraged if its not a BFP yet...it could be too early


best of luck....its sounds like a BFP in the making

[4Angie]

I have been feeling slightly nauseated this morning.  I know it is extremely early for me to be feeling that way due to pregnancy, but I guess if I am pregnant with more than one, my hormones should be going wacky.  I am also feeling AF symptoms:  VERY irritable and lower abdomen cramps.  I am not sure what is going on with me.  Do you think tomorrow would be too early to test????  It will be 12 dpiui.  I am supposed to go in to RE for testing on Friday, but I kind of want to know before hand so I do not get so upset in the office.  
What do you think?

[waitn838]

alright so as of today ive got 16 more days til my hemo appt....the time is going slow :(


how are the rest of the ladies doing today?

[waitn838]

[BabyBlue07]
