cybrkitn - PG symptoms for me were tender nipples. I mean so bad I can't even let the water hit them in the shower. And they got progressively worse, and started like the day after conception. I get sore breasts before AF sometimes, but it is definitely the breast, not the nipple, and it feels better after a few days. The other major symptom to hit me right away was exhaustion. Lots and lots of luck to you. Keep us posted!

Pooh - have you tested? Don't leave us in suspense!

Allison - I am so hoping you get a BFP soon. It has been such a tough road for you. I might still call and see if there have been any cancellations if you want an appointment sooner. But it might do you good to take a break, too.

Gurgi - Hey girl! How is the bow chicka wow wow going?

Rebecca - lots and lots of luck to you!

Carla - I can't wait to hear all about Katharine's arrival.

Have a good day, girls!

Thanks! Just a few more days to go. I'll test on Sunday if I don't get it by Saturday (I've never gone over 28 days). Funny thing about that. When I found out we were expecting DS4 it was on a Sunday. He was born 5 years ago tomorrow. It would be kind of ironic if I test this Sunday on my birthday and find out I am pregnant

Pooh!! Where Are You?!?! I *need* To Know!!

 

[LisaB]

I don't know if any of you remember the drama we had over the summer. Kevin and I were watching a friend of my daughter's. Her parents are citizens of China and she is an American citizen. Dad went to Canada and wasn't suppose to leave the country. Needless to say he got stuck in Canada. Wife is also a Chinesse citizen who work ungodly hours in a Chinesse buffet. Mom and Dad have marital difficulties. They were married and divorced in China but divorce in China is different than here. Wife followed husband saying that they were married. Well now he got back into the US thank god but now his wife changed the locks in the apartment and threw him and the little girl out. Mom decided that she really wants full custody of the child but she works 6 days a week 12 hrs per day. They are staying with us temporarilly but what a mess. They both are behaving like children and don't have the best interest of the child.

Maybe you should start a thread like you did for luvmyboys (love that thread btw)

Allison, I do think you'll be good going in with 5 cycles. Most places want 4-6 from what I've been told by friends. As for having a drink or two or even riding rides at Six Flags. Go in pretending you are not pregnant. One or two drinks won't hurt you or the baby. Nor will riding rides.
Heck if I can tumble down the stairs at 13.5 weeks and bruise my bum badly w/o the baby being harmed, a coaster or two won't hurt an even smaller & better protected 4w old fetus. Just think about that and live life as you normally would.
Though I hope for your sake you won't be dealing with AF at the wedding. I hate how I feel when the old hag shows.

cybrkitn, for me my symptoms were totally different both times I was pregnant. The first time I had the super sore bbs. You couldn't even brush them without me being in pain. This time, really nothing at all until about week 6-7. Last time I had a lot more of the symptoms in general, but this time... really almost none until a few weeks into it. My bbs were faintly faintly sore, but I didn't' even notice until my cat stepped on my chest. I am not one who says go by symptoms because they may or may never show up. My pregnancies were even only 6 months apart from the very start of each, and neither was the same at all.

With DS4 everything was normal and actually thought we had missed it since I was spotting. But then I realized that the spotting was going on longer than it should have and tested to find out we were going to have DS4.

The only thing different that I have noticed is that my bbs are normal with no tenderness at all! Even though yours were "super sore" the first time around, I go through that every month one week prior to getting it and up to about 1-2 days into it before they subside. That's pretty much how I know it's coming. This time, nothing. Nadda. Which is not normal for me. I'm really hoping that is a sign that I am.

This waiting, though, is driving me nuts. We really want another baby and DS has been asking for a brother or sister for awhile now.

 

[helenabear]

I used to be that way with PMSing as well. After the miscarriage and D&C my PMS symptoms changed. I used to get the 1 week warning with my bbs and then they would stop hurting by the end of the day when AF showed up. I would also get little cramps a week in advance. This time... like I said nada. So absense of symptoms may not be a bad thing. When is AF due for you?

 

[KristineN]

day 6 lupron/ af showed up. ultrasound & blood work tomorrow..looking forward to the next step

 

[momsully]

I have been traveling alot for work and have not had much time to post. I am leaving again tomorrow for a conference (in Orlando!) for 5 days so wanted to stop in.

Allison - I so know how you are feeling. August will be here before you know it and hopefully you can get some answers.

Tinkerchelle - Sorry about AF.

Pooh - Have you tested!

Everyone else, baby dust!

We took the month off - no Clomid or Metformin. With all my work travel this month I don't think our timing would have worked anyway. I will try to check in next week but am going to be crazy. I am also hoping to get over to the MK one night just to see wishes. By the way, where were those fertility statues. Maybe I will go there too!

 

[exwdwcm]

Tinkerchelle- i am so so sorry. AF is a horrible witch. i am so sorry the sperm donations cost so much. can you check that your doctor can submit some stuff to insurance as diagnostic? all my ultrasounds and bloodwork were submitted that way- like they were checking me for endo (which it turned out i had, but not enough to affect my fertility). i know they can't do anything to help with the cost of the sperm- but any other testing or stuff related to it perhaps they can? i hate that you have to dish out so much money every month. you and your partner are definitely in my prayers!!!

Yes, i know, i look so big!!! i was concerned at the doctor's- she actually said it appears i am measuring a week ahead (21w) according to my belly measurement. she wasn't concerned about my weight either. i gained 6lbs since lsat month. i think it is a growth spurt or something! which is fine iwth me- means maybe the baby will come early (or they will induce early) which works great for my maternity leave. big babies do run in my family. my sister was over 10lbs! i started getting heartburn this week and lots of burping....after i eat. so maybe this boy has lots of hair or so the old wives tale goes.

momsully- enjoy your conference in Orlando- will you get some free time to do anything fun?

Kristine- can't wait to hear how the IVF cycle is going- did you go in today for an u/s check?

Kristy- hope your cycle is going well too. i was never on the doxy- but isn't it an antibiotic? I have heard of lots of ivf'ers using it.

Lisa- sorry to hear about the drama. you are such a good friend/good person to be helping them out. people get so mixed up and lose sight of what is best for the child. they are lucky to have you in their lives.

Rebecca- have you o'd yet or still waiting?

Allison- i agree- go have fun. a few drinks won't kill you, but then again if you don't feel right doing it- don't. i was in disney in august after my first IUI during the 2WW. i did avoid most coasters. but i did ride the EE, since it was new and i hadn't. heck, i figured some of the roads around here are bumpier and worse than a coaster and pregnant women do fine on those. i also had one beer at cali grill and one pina colada at O'hana. i did skip mission space, space mtn, primeval whirl etc. But i did enjoy some of the bumpier rides. so i say do what you feel comfortable with if you do six flags over tx. i can tell you that they mostly have thrill rides there (i used to have season passes years ago, since i lived about 30 min away from it).

Pooh- anxiously awaiting to see if you tested!!!

 

[2bemarried]

Afternoon ladies...

Elaine I'm surprised that there were more plus sized maternity clothes in the store. Hopefully I'll be wrong and able to find something to wear when I'm pregnant.

Chelle I'm so sorry that this month didn't work for you

Cybrkitn welcome to the group!

Allison I think a little break would be good for you. We all need time to rest and just forget about things like this...even if it's just a week or two.

Lisa oh my...I'm sorry that you're caught in the middle of that mess and that the poor child is caught too.

Kristine...WOOHOO....what time is your appt?

momsully have fun at your conference!

Michelle that's awesome that your leave will work out with your due date/induction date.

Day 3 of Lupron and Doxy along with my normal Metformin dosage. The combo of the Doxy and Metformin was worse today than yesterday. I was literally on a phone call this morning and thought I was going to have to hang up to vomit. Thankfully the feeling passed and I was okay. I have a whole new appreciation for those of you pregnant and experiencing morning sickness!

 

[KristineN]

They told me to come in tomorrow...

Kristine- can't wait to hear how the IVF cycle is going- did you go in today for an u/s check?

9:30 am tomorrow for ultrasound & blood. I felt nauseous today myself...mine is from the horrendous vitamins. The acupuncture chick gave me these vitamins and I keep burping up fish YUCK

I have been pumping up Bill with vitamins thinking his swimmers need all the help they can get...today he was all nuts because his pee was greenish....He has to go in soon to do a back up sample to freeze...just in case

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage
I'm due no later than Saturday for AF. Right now I'm in day 26. I'm so hoping I'm pregnant that it is hard for me to resist testing right now. I have one pregnancy test left out of a three pack (I had used the first two months ago) and do not want to "jump the gun" on this one.

I feel like my son right now; very impatient and wanting to know "Now" and not in a few days, LOL.

 

[DznyLvr2005]

I'm thinking somethings wrong today...
I was supposed to get AF yesterday, but this mroning I woke up to HORRIBLE left ovary pain. There is 100% no way I could be pregnant, but What is this pain!?!? A cyst? Possibly... Where is AF! I actually WANT it!! Lutuel phase is going on 16 days now... BBs are killing me.. I know it's coming, but this pain is just too wierd. I don't think I need to call my MD.. I don't know.. Seems I'm always getting cysts on the left side, but this is the first time it's hurt really bad. hmmm
My body is so messed up!

poor man If you're tasting fish you were probably given Omega 3's. They're really good. Are you also taking pre-natals?

 

[helenabear]

Kristy, that was the 2nd hand stores only. I went to Motherhood Maternity first and all I know is that if you wear a M or larger they had your size. I only found five shirts to try on. One I got, 1 looked horrible and matronly, the other three were like me wearing a sack. It was horrible. I know no pity, but I have no idea why it is so hard to find clothing in a size XS or S now... well I do know as I've had trouble since I went from a size 16 to this. Y'all probably are about to say "cry me a river" but I'd rather be 6 or 8 so I could wear mediums. The ladies at Motherhood kept trying to claim that the S were cut small and I could probably fit into a medium... didn't they see the Smalls were swimming on me??????? Grrr... done ranting about clothing sizes.
But try motherhood if you want new. They actually have a selection just for plus size and they aren't much different than what I saw in the store. Online it is less, but I never saw half the clothing in the store they carry online.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage

I totally know the feeling... I hope you hold out on the last few days. And thank you. TTC has been kind of rough for me, though no where near waht some ladies have gone through. Sadly we think that this will be the only child for us due to me nearing an age I won't agree to give birth at due to something that happened to my mom.

Eww on burping up fish... that would make me throw up!!!!!

Kristy, sorry about your symptoms you have been having. I hope this just means everything will go well for you and that you will have a healthy baby in about 9-10 months

Momsully, go to the Ripley's Believe It or Not website for the Orlando museum, there is a heading for Fertility Statues, click on it and it tells you where to call so that you can see them. You have to go during office hours, 9-5, if I remember correctly. They are currently housed at the Corporate Headquarters, it is near the Belz Outlets.

[KristineN]

yes...these are "wellness essentials for pregnancy" by Metagenics. There's 6 HUGE pills per pack.

poor man If you're tasting fish you were probably given Omega 3's. They're really good. Are you also taking pre-natals?

If the pain continues...I would say you should call. Feel better!!

Please call your doctor ASAP. Maybe it is a cyst. Is it possible it is an ectopic prgnancy? Both could be dangerous. I think you need an ultrasound. Hope you are feeling better soon.

ITA with the previous posters here. I would definitely call the doctor as well. It could be "nothing" or it could be something more serious. Better to catch it early than late.
