Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

Welcome Pollito!!

So, I bought one pink monkey onesie and one blue monkey onesie and little monkey booties! As SOON as I get a BFP, I'm going to wrap them up and give them to him!

This is a great idea, how perfect for you!! And I'm sorry, but I like to believe in fate sometimes. Funny how you found something so perfect. Maybe this is your month.

Anyway, I have planned the same thing for DH. Last time I was home, I bought a onesie with our alma matter on it. I had to get blue, but I don't think it'll matter to him. Although I have a feeling I'll just jump on the bed and blurt it out. That sounds fun, too!

Any of our 2WW'ers: are you testing on Mother's Day? I will be either 12 or 14 DPO so if AF hasn't showed by then, I'm gonna POAS.

I don't have anything special in my mind planned if I ever get a BFP. I honestly talk to my DH far too much to even try to surprise him. He knows far too much about my cycle in general for me to even try to hide it more than 20 minutes I know he will want to see it himself, so it will be a joint thing.

Since we know we wouldn't share with my family until after the first trimester, they are the ones I plan to surprise and tell. As of this moment, there are no kids among us, so we'd have the first grandchild (actually on both sides) so I would find something cute & fitting for grandpa to give to him here. Same would go for my sister

Good luck to all you hoping for positives. I'm feeling too typically PMSy for me to think we've done it this month.

Hey gals -

Welcome Pollito!

Well...I had my beta. SIGH...it was only 12. My progesterone (cause of all my previous m/c) was only 6.6. I go in for a repeat beta tomorrow. I am crushed, obviously. Really let myself believe I would be "alright" for once.

I will be drowning my sorrows in WDW in 8 days...I pray I am done m/c by then. I am stopping my progesterone tonight...AF should arrive this weekend (Happy Mother's Day to me..). I am going to talkto my dr. tomorrow about getting on Clomid. DH is so upset...I know he is going to want to try now..no doubt.

Thanks for all your support. This sucks ***

Thanks- let's hope fate is working it's magic.

Or that all the baby dust I'm tossing around will work!!

ImarriedGrumpy: Sorry about your BFN- but no worries! You will get a BFP someday- and hold on to that other test, just in case!!

 

[mickeyboat]

Minnesota!

I am so sorry for your loss. That sucks! I will still keep my fingers crossed for your beta tomorrow.

What is your doctor doing about your low progesterone? You said you were stopping it tonight, when did you start? I had low progesterone with Hannah, and they put me on suppositories after my first beta. After my second one, I doubled the dosage. Is that something your doctor is trying?

[helenabear]

Awww Minnesota, I am so very sorry

 

[beckmrk04]

Minnesota, I am so sorry. I wish I could make it better.

But things WILL be ok. Even if right now it doesn't seem like it. And hey- you've got a great group of girls to lean on here, so if you need to talk/vent/cry, let us know.

 

[Minnesota!]

Thanks gals...

Mickeyboat - I am on progesterone right now (200 mg/day). I will know more after my beta tomorrow. I think my beta is falling quickly, though, as the HPT's I took today..well, they are QUITE faint. I have been put on Clomid in the past to increase my progesterone (it works). I might try Vitex instead....

 

[AllyandJack]

Minnesota.....I posted to you on the other thread, but want to say again how sorry I am. It's good that your beta is falling, I guess. Mine didn't fall for a long time and I was facing a methotrexate injection - thankfully, it worked itself out, but it was a horrible few weeks with the beta rising in strange patterns and the progesterone falling despite my being on progesterone injections AND suppositories. I hope it goes fast for you so you can enjoy WDW.

We're all here for you.

 

[Minnesota!]

Thanks Carla. I really appreciate the support I am getting on this thread. I only knew for 3 days or so that I am pregnant, but already had so many dreams for this child. I had the strongest feelings this baby was to be my daughter. I had the same feelings about my son (that he was a boy). I just am so mixed up. I was already looking at Gymboree clothes...LOL....

Anyway, I plan on doing something for this baby. A little memorial or something. It just feels right. I think I might get a candle holder from Things Remembered with the dates of my m/c on it...something I can light and remember my babies that have gone back to God.

I just came across this thread and I think it's great to have for all of the DIS'ers going through the TTC Journey.

Minnesota! - i'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. If I recall correctly, you were one of my exchange buddies on the new mom's thread a while back. I had been on 200Mg of Progesterone for 2 of my pregnancies that ended in M/C. I can't say I know what you're going through, but I can understand how hard it is to go through this disappointment and the wonder of "why is this happening to me". I had my first son with no problems whatsoever but it was a lot harder having # 2. I was told it was "unexplained secondary infertility". I hope and pray for you that you will get through the next few weeks and you'll be ready to TTC again soon. After my 3rd MC, I was blessed with my son Liam who is now close to 8 months. I was on Progesterone and baby aspirin - I swear - that baby aspirin seemed to work wonders whatever it does. I had to take it before TTC until I was 36 weeks along. DH and I had gotten to the point where we were just thankful that we had our oldest son, but we wanted a brother or sister for him in the worst way.

I wish all of the ladies of the DIS who are TTC many blessings and PG fairy dust for a BFP in the very near future!

 

[aces_babydoll]

Well, just got my period, kinda just spotting but I guess that counts as a period right.

Time to get my body back to normal!

 

[aces_babydoll]

Minnesota,I am sorry for what you are going through and hope things get better.



You guys I am so new to TTC and don't understand what a lot of you are talking about.

It might just be because I came in the middle of it all.

Then again TTC is a little scary for me because I never planned a pregnancy.
I guess I will get used to it.

 

[KimR]

Oh, Minnesota, I am so very sorry. I do know what you mean about the hopes and dreams. Please take care of yourself.

It's scary for most of us! I think it might be scarier to plan a pregnancy because you have more time to think about it. I've told my husband that I wish we would have just had an "Oops" pregnancy, because then, I wouldn't be obsessing about charts and ovulation and will we have enough money: you just have to deal because the baby is already on its way!!

And if you have any questions about abbreviations, I posted some common ones a few pages back.

If you have any other questions, don't be afraid to ask!! I know when I first started looking around about ttc, I was like, "What language are these people speaking?" But now, I think I even think in codes...

I think that would be a beautiful way to remember and honor them.

 

[tiggersmom2]

Oh no Minnesota.... I'm so very sorry. I just know you are going to get pregnant again very soon and everything will be fine.


I am too PMSey to have a BFP so I'm not even going to test. I'm not too upset about it b/c I want to drink around the world at EPCOT in 14 days...is that a bad thing to admit? Besides, I am hoping for a WDW "souvenir".

 

[beckmrk04]

I figure I need to pack tampons and hpts for my upcoming trip! If I get AF- then I get to enjoy the many delicious beverages WDW Dining has to offer.

If I don't get AF, then I'll need the HPT!!

 

[aces_babydoll]

HPT


what does this mean?

 

[DMickey28]

Minnesota ~ I am very sorry. I think the Things remembered idea is perfect.

HPT - Home pregnancy test
