[Gurgi]

I sure hope this is the cycle because holy crap, I am actually...shhh! I'm actually really really tired of bd'ing!

I am soooo glad I'm in the 2 ww now! I told my hubby that if it doesn't happen this month, I won't dare do that major of a workout again...and he agreed. He was very very very good natured about all of it and just wanted to make sure that it wasn't one of those, "We missed THAT day...is this why it didn't happen?!" sort of things.




BTW....I LOVE da puppy!!! And I know how you feel about the due date...mine passed in April and it was terribly hard.

 

[Gurgi]

CUTE PUPPY!!! She should cheer you up!

What happened to all of the other things I posted???? Lemme try again.


Gypsy...super fingers crossed for you this month!

Skuttle...I think it's still okay to go during your AF. My first visit to my doc was when AF was 2 days late and uhh...well, the exam kinda started it Luckily, it didn't freak him out (thank goodness).

Cyber...I am so, so sorry. Were you on the pill before you started TTC again?

Kristy and Shmoogrrl...GOOD LUCK!!

WDW...I've been dying to see more of your wedding pics...would you mind sharing?

 

[skuttle]

I think I will keep my appt. I just can't wait another month. So many times today I just wanted to break down and cry, but I'm trying to be stronger. But it's just SO hard. I know it'll get better as the month goes on. But today, the day that AF arrived, the day that confirms that any bit of hope I had for BFP this month is gone...it's just so hard. I try not to get upset around DH because I know it's hard for him to see me so upset...it's just so hard.

I think DH mentioned to some of his close friends about my BFP back around Easter. I did't tell DH anything, but I overheard one of his friends mention something about us being pregnant again this weekend in Dallas. Then I saw DH shaking his head and his friend saying he was so sorry. I told DH I didn't want to tell anyone until after 12 weeks, but I guess he was so excited he couldn't wait. Just when I start to think that maybe DH isn't as into this as I am, something like that happens and it makes me realize that this is hard for him too. Probably more hard for him because I know he feels like he has to always be the strong one, the optimistic one, the "it'll all be okay" one. I don't think DH knows I overheard that conversation...I never brought it up because I know I couldn't talk about it without crying. But it just made me realize that this really is hard on our significant others, too.

Sorry for rambling...just feeling really down tonight.

Ramble all that you need to, we all completely understand.

You know, I have to say I was REALLY angry when I saw that Nicole Ritchie was pregnant. Come on. She is a druggie who is going to rank up there with Brintey Spears as a parent. My husband ACTUALLY commented that it wasn't fair that she was pregnant right now.

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Allison: I'm so sorry and I completely understand. There were about four or five cycles that I just broke down and cried. My DH really could do nothing but hold me because there was no consoling me. I knew it was hard on him as well and that made me feel so much worse. But the last three cycles I felt "better" eventhough I felt complety emotionally unstable due to the clomid.

Gurgi: When did you get your sig back??? Love the pic

 

[cybrkitn]

Cyber...I am so, so sorry. Were you on the pill before you started TTC again?

Do you mean BCP? If so, I haven't been on those for 8-9 years. I haven't been taking anything (pre-natal or other) while we try for #2. DH and I will just have to keep trying. We know we are destined to have another child and when the time is right, we will have another one.

Unfortunately, the nurse I was talking with was pretty much telling me (in a round-about way again) to wait until my yearly visit in September for an appointment.

My ob/gyn's office is pretty good and I feel very comfortable around the doctors and the reception desk. But this one nurse has seemed kind of cold in her attitude. I realize the office is dealing with mom's to be and other issues, but sheesh!

 

[mickeyboat]

Good morning, everyone!

cybrktn - was this the first cycle you were off BCP? When I went off, it was 6 weeks before I got my first period. On the pill, they were 28 days on the nose because everything was artificially scheduled by the medication. Sorry about the bad news, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you. (ETA - I reread your post that said you have been off BCP for 9 years, so ignore my comments - duh!)

Rebecca - how are you feeling? I love it when you PG people stay around this thread, even after your BFP.

skuttle - I think knowing now that your DH seems to want this as badly as you, will help. You are a team! Lean on him when you have to, and let him lean on you. That is what marriage is all about.

A friend of ours stopped by last night. He and his wife separated late last year, got back together this Spring, and he told me last night they again have decided to call it quits. They have three great kids (one is my Godson). I can't believe how the news affected me. I was in a great mood that turned foul as soon as he walked out the door. Anyone else ever have that happen?

Dznylvr - Britney is adorable! Did you get any sleep last night?

Nicole Richie - unbelievable that someone can do that to their body, and still conceive.

Have a great day, everyone!

Denae

 

[helenabear]

Allison you know I know how it feels. I truly do... and I know it was hard on Luis too with everything we went through. Are you taking a break from it all this month? It truly sounds like you need a change of pace somehow. A little weekend away or forgetting the whole ttc until your appt.

Gurgi, I keep hoping Nicole Ritchie isn't true (I haven't heard her confirm it yet)... she just is soooo well not fit. I can't see how her skeletal body could conceive anyway. I have nothing against skinny people, but I've seen her look good and she looked like hell for a long time.

Rebecca... how did it go this morning? My doc office recent started something where I can give them permission to leave a message with detailed information on which numbers. I like that, so if I miss a test result, they'll just leave a message.

Cybrktn, in all honesty at 36 I cannot see why they would make you wait that long to see them. I would call back and ask for a special appt if AF doesn't show. You haven't been on the pill and while some start going through menopause at that age, it doesn't seem quite as likely. They have "trigger shots" they can give to get AF going again if need be. I've known a couple of friends who were like you (but not pregnant nor trying) who needed help.

Though if I misread and Denae is right going off BCP can start weird cycles... though I thought you said you hadn't been for 8-9 years (it's early so I could be misreading )

Denae, I am sorry about your friends. I've only gone through breakups, but no divorces yet. Sorry they spoiled your mood.

 

[cybrkitn]

Mickeyboat - I was on BCPs when DH and I were dating. Once we got married in 1999, I stopped taking them and haven't used them since. My cycles have actually been on schedule up until this point.

Helenabear - I'm going to wait and see what happens. I may just get AF next week since my breasts are sore this week. I was also thinking at one point menopause, but I quickly dismissed that thought. 36 is too young to hit menopause, IMO.

As far as seeing my doctor, September really isn't that far off anyway (my original yearly check up was in August, but last year they were booked and I couldn't get an appointment until early September). I should be receiving my post card in the mail soon telling me it's time to schedule my yearly check-up.


Thanks everyone for the . Good luck to everyone else.

Gurgi - Glad to see your avatar and sig back! My filter violation warning finally expired yesterday

 

[DznyLvr2005]

Dznylvr - Britney is adorable! Did you get any sleep last night?

I did actually, but I've been waking up 1/2 hour earlier now. She knows to 'go' outside most of the time, she's very smart. We took her swimming last night in my DH's mothers pool. It was so funny.
Having 2 dogs and 2 cats is probably worse than having kids! it's so much work!!!!!
My RE appointment is tomorrow. I'm anxiously waiting. But I'm getting closer and closer to the decision that I just don't want to be pregnant again. It's just way too scary for me. DH is totally against adopting. I'm not at all, so I just don't know what to do...

 

[2bemarried]

morning ladies...

the cute puppy side tracked me and I can't think of what I was going to say She's precious!!

gurgi bd'ing like a bunny wore ya out huh?

skuttle...I think you made a good choice to keep the appt.

cybrkitn...I would call and get an earlier appt. I have to be honest and say that I've known several women who started peri-menopause in their mid to late 30's.

Dznylvr I hope you and your dh are able to come to agreements on your next steps.

Denae I'm so sorry to hear about your friends. I've had moments like that as well. Typically mine are from family situations.

Elaine I'm with you and I hope the Nicole Ritchie news is false. I was sickened when I heard she might be pregnant. UGH!!!

Rebecca.....any news yet??

 

[LisaB]

Denae
I am so sorry about your friends It is so sad when a marriage doesn't work out. Went to the doctors actually a midwife and I am having an ultrasound on Friday. She thinks it is a fluid filled cyst but isn't rulling anything out.

I think you're talking to me about the wedding pics! Of course I wouldn't mind sharing. I'm a girl, I love talking about my wedding! How should I do it? I don't want to clutter the thread. There are too many on snapfish to link you there. I have albums on my facebook and myspace. I don't know what I should do, just let me know!

Maybe we should do that...share a couple wedding/together photos so that we can all see who we're talking to. We all enjoyed helenabear's, so maybe that would be fun for everybody.

I am glad they are taking it seriously and are getting you in right away. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is just a cyst. Would they remove it?

[exwdwcm]

Schmoogirl- good luck -the IUI itself only takes like 5 minutes, but they made me lay there for 10 minutes afterwards. usually we were reqeuired to drop off the sample by 8am and usually came back about 10am for the IUI. good luck!! on the trigger shot- you will have pregnancy symptoms- sore ****s, etc. The shot will remain in your system up to 10 days, so testing before those 10 days can result in a false positive. good luck!

REBECCA!!!!!! OMG- i am so so thrilled for you!! i had tears in my eyes when i saw your test and now a confirmation by the doc. that is so so awesome. i hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

LISA- major hugs to you. i have been through it myself. i have very very dense breasts, so it is hard for them to see what is going on. I have been sent for 3 mammograms and i am not even 34 yet. i have had some flare ups in my breasts sometimes around AF and it would stay fo ra while and be painful like you describe. The ob sent me to the mammogram and it turned out fine everytime- they just said i am prone to getting the bumps/cysts in my breasts due to the dense tissue, especially around AF. it was so nerve wracking all 3 times. so my heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you!!! please let us know how it goes.

KRISTY_ awesome news so far on the follies and E2. sounds like things are going just perfect. so possible ER on friday? you are in my thoughts as well- just think you are almost there!!!!

ALLISON- so sorry AF showed. she is a nasty witch. just keep tracking your cycles on paper so you can share it all with your doc at your appt in aug/sept. The short cycle could be a sign of something, so just be sure you have all your notes to tell them when you go.

I'm happy, too. I was missing my funny pictures. We are apparently some bad, bad girls

 

[exwdwcm]

What exercise do you guys think is too high impact? We're not TTC hard yet, but I am trying to get in better shape before we do/while we do. I've been doing the Yoga Booty Ballet dvds because they're so much fun, but I'm not sure what is too much? I can't swim right now, nowhere to do it. Walking is an option, but it's almost too hot to do that.

i don't think anything is too high impact unless you are like a marathon runner (they can often have irregular or non- existant periods). other than that, i think the exercise is actually beneficial. it doesn't sound like you are doing too much right now. I was doing 3 step classes per week, soccer practice, one soccer game and one boot camp class, plus weight lifting 2-3x a week when we were TTC on our own and it was fine. it actually makes you feel better and gets the blood flowing to all the right areas. I did step down my activity a lot once i started fertility treatments mostly due to the side effects making me sick or tired. I totally cut out activity during my IVF cycle.

Gurgi- jsut wanted to send some hugs your way!

Allison- more hugs. hope you didn't get totally rained out in Dallas. did you make it to six flags? the rain has been killer here for us. i know we sometimes forget it is hard for our partners too- it is very sweet to remember that though- they do care and i know he is there to support you. guys just tend to do it in their own way unlike the total emotional creatures we are. what you are feeling is so normal. i had so many breakdowns i can't even count them. so just wanted to send thoughts and hugs your way.

LIsa- well i am so glad they are getting you in quickly. i guess both of us will be anxiously awaiting our u/s results. mine is thursday for the gallstones. oh joy!

 

[helenabear]

Lisa, I am so glad they are taking care of you quickly. I do hope it is a cyst and nothing else

cybrktn, I do hope AF shows up for you. I admit you are more patient than me. My cycles are always a certain length and I know that I would be in for something if my cycles ran double for sure. But my doc & the office is *very* proactive and I'm used to that kind of thing with her.

Aurora, who says you have too many pics to share I do love putting faces to names out there. I think you can start off with a couple posting and go from there. I love the idea of others sharing pics if they want to.

Gurgi, in no way are you a bad girl

It just started storming here. We absolutely NEED this rain. Unfortunately the change made my head hurt (pressure change)

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Lisa: I'm glad you are able to get into the Dr so quickly. I hope that all you have is a cyst. My Mom has had 3 in the past so I know how anxious she was waiting for her ultrasounds. I'm sure everything will be fine and keep us posted!!!

Michelle: Good luck with your gallstone problem. I hope they can resolve the problem without too much trouble. I'll be thinking about you and send good thoughts your way

Denae: So sorry about your friends. My folks split when I was little but they were able to work out their differences and have been together ever since. I know how hard it can be on the children but they have one great thing going for them and that is you

I would love to see more photos os everyone!!!! I think everyone should post a pic!!!!

As for me...I'm feeling fine...a little tired by the end of the day. I'm using the facilities more often which is kinda annoying. I'm still waiting for a call back from the Dr. I thought I had checked the box that said they could leave details on my machine but the lady that called was not the normal nurse that I deal with so maybe she didn't know???

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Ok...so here is a pic of me and DH at our wedding in 1999:

For a more recent photo the pic in my siggie is from 2005.
