Suzanne: All of those symptomscsound very promising!! A fashion designer...my sister wanted to be one but she gave up. Now shes a stay at home mom of two beautiful girls. Do you know when you're testing? My symptoms arent like that at all right now. Just a few. Im expecting af this weekend. My breasts are a lot heavier and swollen and my migraines are coming back with a vengance. Also the nosebleeds, and passing out before my head hits the pillow. Usually i lay in bed til about 9 but now I'm out like a light and it takes the dh a while to wake me up when he leaves for work. I have been purposely ignoring signs because of thelast time i tested...all the signs were promising but it was a bfn. So I'm trying not to get my hopes up again. Well I have to pack up and straighten the desk upthe boss is gunna be here soon. Have a wonderful morning ladies!! Alix
Brie: The spotting may be from the Mirena now, or just the "trauma" of insertion. That's right, you WERE being responsible, I'm sure he'll get over it quickly when HE'S needing some lovin' ;) Oh my gosh, everytime I see babieS typed out, this so crazy! :) It's extremely difficult to hear a baby cry :( I tried to let Aaron, but was breaking my heart everytime so I almost always gave in, oh well ;) Layla is growing so well! Breastmilk does chub them up, but that's because it's chocked full of every means of nourishment they need :)
Alix: He does sound creepy, kind of up in your business which he doesn't have a right to do because it makes you uncomfortable. And, you're not the only one he's bothering. You must be really looking forward to getting your new bed :) Seems like you still have been needing your sleep, falling so fast ;) Hmmm, the nosebleeds and metallic taste, could be signs :) If AF is due tomorrow, oh boy I hope this could be it! Is living on base better for you in the long run than off? The washer/dryer perk is one good reason :) Oooh, I love puzzles! And, Aaron is really good at them too so I think we'll get a big one we all can work on together :) How many pieces is yours?
Thank you Amy ♥ :)
Tara: How was lunch with your Mom and Grandma? I hope and pray AF is still not here!
Suzanne: How are you feeling today? Still getting the signs?
Oh boy, this nausea! I remember it all too well with Aaron. I eat and then an hour later or even before it comes on, goes away and then the same cycle happens again. My sense of smell is so sensitive too. If there are 2 in there does this mean I'll have twice the effects?
Brie - Congrats on the computer! I know they say that you can't spoil a newborn - and it's true - but you can get her used to being held all the time, which may or may not be what you want. (You may not mind if you waited 15 years for the kid; OTOH, you might want to be able to do something using both hands.) Glad you stopped bleeding and the Mirena is working okay. Yeah, BD'ing PP is can sometimes be like BD'ing for the first time; it needs to be talked about, expectations/feelings communicated, etc. We didn't have problems, but for a lot of people, it's not so smooth. Yay, Layla is smiling. :) After those first few weeks, those smiles are the best thing in the world. :) Yah, don't try catching up. But we're glad to see you back on. Ooh, a friend for Layla. :) And a new mommy friend for you, double the fun. What's in your milk? Lots of good stuff! And exactly what she needs!
Tara - I don't think we're going to give up, because then we went through this for nothing. But it sure isn't fun, although it's getting significantly better now. Hopefully AF will stay away! You totally deserve it! Maybe you will have twins, too. Then you and Nicole can be double-belly-buddies. AF seems to be staying away, so that's a good sign, and hopefully your sore BB's are a good sign too. Yeah, it's hard not to analyze.
Simone - :( Feel better! You've been sick waay too long. ((HUGS)) That's pretty rough about the BD'ing, but it looks like you're taking it okay. The upside is that now you can have some fun without the pressure of TTC. :) Hopefully you will be able to start a new cycle on the 12th now, also, and you'll get your BFP.
Tammy - I wish it could end with a BFP. I'm sorry ((HUGS)) Hmm, hopefully you and your DH can work things out, and then you'll get a surprise. :)
Nicole - Hm, ginger tea with rock sugar. Sounds iinteresting, maybe I would like it. Heartbeat, I should've known. Now I have to go back and reread the post. ;) I think my temps are messed up also because before my thermometer broke, it gave the same reading a few days in a row - and I started getting suspicious that it wasn't working properly. So, even before I missed three or four days in a row, the readings were probably not perfect. Now my temp is low again, but I don't know what it means. I'm glad the M could be at fault, it makes me feel a lot better. Also I haven't been recording CM if I'm not sure if it's from BD'ing or not, but I am noticing that besides for stuff that's obviously from BD'ing, it's kind of sticky and dry for the past couple days. I'm wondering if I missed it. Oooh, you got a new ticker. :) I almost didn't notice it because it's similar to your old one. It is really cute! Yeah, I totally get why you're only using one icon. :) Hope your ovaries realize that you're pregnant and stop being so swollen, BEFORE Christmas Eve. ((HUGS)) Whoever coined it "morning sickness" was a little crazy. It should be called, "all day sickness". You're right, those are good signs. Eat some ginger. ;) I don't think you'll have twice the effects. I had a really tough pregnancy (statistically, too), and there was only one.
Alix - Thanks. :) Hope so, too. Ugh, that guy is a creep. You definitely need to report him. It bothers you because it's not appropriate...kind of like, "um, mister, I'm married, and even if I weren't, if you're talking that way and we're not close, you're just a creep". Ugh. Maybe he's next to get pregnant? Hm, interesting that you have a metallic taste in your mouth and you have nosebleeds. You're taking Zofran now, right? Sounds like moving on base might be a viable option. Hope you get a BFP!
Suzanne - Hopefully you will get a BFP soon!
AFM - Nausea got a lot better, and for some reason the BB's aren't so sore anymore. I still want to get them checked out (have to make that appointment), but it's not bothering me so much, so I'm kind of lazy. I would expect AF around the 10th of December, if it's going to be a short cycle, but we will see. At this point, I want a BFP, but I am not so stressed about it as I was. Maybe it was the sirens, or maybe it was the metformin and the thermometer issue and not seeing clear CM patterns. But whatever, hopefully less stressed will do the trick and I won't have to deal with AF for a long time. Like, 17 months, maybe more. (Yeah, I'll just have to deal with 6 weeks of PP bleeding. Oh, well, it comes with a benefit that AF doesn't have.)
omg...where is Tara! Im dying to know if AF showed or not!! UGH..hurry up woman!!
lol
Ill be back ladies..layla is napping and I am getting in some much needed cleaning and organizing! :) I had to check as i looked up a recipe :) Im doing pork chops with cream of celery soup cooked in the croc pot ..sounds good..who knows if it will be..lol.
Alix- Glad that you're getting some much needed sleep!
Nicole- Don't you have another US today or is it just Monday? I had a nice time with my Mom and Grandma. We ate lunch and paled around town. Nausea sounds like a good thing! Someone I worked with a while back had twins first than a singleton...she said that her nausea was suprisingly worse with the singleton pregnancy, so there is hope yet! Hope that it's only nausea and not vomiting!
Isramom- That's good you don't plan on giving up! I agree that at least putting up with PP bleeding and what not is better since you got the biggest payoff of all. Hope you can find a way to destress. DH and I had a big talk about that last night.
Brie- Hehehe, you're funny...sorry to keep you waiting ;) That recipe sounds good and simple which is the best.
Suzanne- Hang in there! Your test date is super soon!
AFM- Tossed and turned a lot tonight. Woke up with a pinched shoulder. Ouch. Not too happy about that. Although, no AF yet!!! Nervously excited! This is the longest she has stayed away so far after the hcg shots with the exception of her starting on day 9 a few months ago, but I started spotting on day 6 of that cycle. Been having a dull cramping in my L hip. Hope that's a good sign. My coworker friend who is 19weeks or so had pain in both her hips. DH and I talked for a while last night about how things are going. He seems pretty concerned that I haven't been myself. It's just all the stress from this process that's getting me down. I try to not let it effect me, but that's easier said then done. I may have put more pressure on myself because of the 3 year mark coming up in January and the fact it's one year since our MC/only pregnancy. Hope we can get that positive this month and put it all in the past.
Isra: Yes, the sugar makes it more pleasant tasting and it's pure, none of that fake stuff. It was a ?HB in one of the yolk sacs, a flicker. Hmm, the temps are confusing, it has to be from the M. Even changing our thermometer wouldn't fluctuate it so much and now be at a steady low. Maybe O hasn't happened yet? It's hard to decipher between the leftovers from BD and real CM. Sticky and dry sounds more like after O though since you were seeing watery before. Yes, I did put up the ticker, but I do want to keep one icon, just for now ;) I love elephants (hence my screename) and there weren't two of them anyway he he ;) I just wish the darn O meds would get out of system already because Progesterone on it's own probably won't make things so irritable in there :P That's right, no such thing as JUST morning sickness. Yeah, I probably need the ginger tea too ;) I'm glad your bb's soreness is subsiding :) You've had a lot going on, so many outside stresses, I hope you won't have to endure AF after all this! Thanks for the ((HUGS)), right back to you ♥
Brie: Those pork chops sound like they'll be yummy, let us know how they turn out in the crock pot :)
Tara: There you are! And, still no AF Yay!! No just Mon, I'm going crazy waiting a week this time, but need to have patience ;) Glad you had a nice lunch :) No, no vomiting, just queasy and little shaky. Oh no, don't be hurting yourself anymore, your joints have been through enough :( Hmm, hip cramping is interesting, and a new sign for you ;) It's good you and your hubby are keeping communication open especially now. I can't tell you enough how much I want you to be up on that BFP list, every step of the way you deserve this so much love ♥♥♥♥
Brie- I hope that's what it means! If no AF tomorrow I will call Dr. B's office to put the order in for my lab draw and have it drawn on Saturday.
Nicole- Yep, I'm pretty tired of having my neck and shoulders cause me so much trouble! I don't think that stress is a helping factor ;) DH is amazing. He's not always into talking about feelings, but he is always there when I need him. He obviously knows me down to the core being able to see I was having a difficult time. Queasy is better than up chucking. Can't wait for your Monday US either! Praying your ovary has fallen in line and you can see two healthy little beans! The hip thing has been odd just the way it's come about. Still terrified to go to the bathroom. Time will tell!
