Mrs. Charming - I too had spotting with DS and was freaking out. He turned out just fine if I do say so myself.

I had spotting, too. I would be willing to bet your cervix bled a little during your ultrasound. Thinking positive thoughts.

Mrs Charming, I hope everything will be okay. Keep thinking good thought, but I know that is hard! I will be thinking of you..



Well, Sunday I took a test way early and it was positive! I was good with it all day, but for some reason today I am a wreck. Every twinge, every cramp has me feeling like I will throw up I am so worried something will happen. I called my Dr.'s office, and they want to see me the 13th, but said to call if I have any spotting or anything since I MCed at 6.5 weeks last time. I think my ovulation day must have been off, I thought it was Christmas eve/day, so there is no way I should have gotten a positive with a regular test (this was not even an early result test) on Sunday. Positive this morning too, just to be sure.

I promised myself I wouldn't do this, as it is not good for the baby. I also WANT to be positive, excited, and happy and I was yesterday. I know that being cautious about it rather than happy won't make it any better if something does happen. I have no reason to even think anything will at this point, but for some reason anxiety is taking over. I need to stop...

I think I will go take a nap and watch some sitcoms or something on TV...get back in a good mood. DH doesn't want to mention anything to anyone, but I have a few people I want to say something to. If all stays well, great. If things go wrong, it makes it easier when those that care know...I don't want to pretend it never happened if, God forbid, something goes wrong.

Mrs. Charming,

I know at least one of my girlfriends spotted a lot during her entire three pregnancies. It does happen. I don't know why but lots of full term healthy babies are born to mama's that have gone through it.

Internal ultrasounds are nasty. That could be a reason.

TMI but BD can cause it too from an irritated cervix or something.

OMG!! YAY!!

I know *exactly* how you feel. To a T. If you want to talk, PM me

Maybe I will start a group for pregnant and cautious and somewhat neurotic mamas.

Hehe... it's so hard not to freak out. And I bet he is a wonderful little guy

Denae

Yeah, it probably did. Those things never feel nice, I'd be a really happy woman if I never had to have another. I had a TON when I was pg with DD. Thanks for the positive thoughts

Ok, I'm starting to feel like less of a nut. This spotting thing seems a lot more normal than I thought it was.

LOL.. BD'ing has been put on the back burner for awhile. I don't wanna take any unnecessary chances! lol... poor guy!

LOL we should be in a Seinfeld episode!!

Irisbud- - Congratulations! I know it's early but try to relax and be happy, that is such great news!

And welcome Leger13- I hope IUI is successful for you two. Me and my husband are your guys' exact same ages.

Pollito- I have to use the nasal sprays for my allergies (flonase/nasarel) and those are out while TTC because there are steroids in them. For some reason the claritin/allegra/zyretec doesn't work for me- I wish it did. I might just give them another try this year out of desperation Thank you for the link, I will save that.

Well over the holidays we sent out a little "year end" newsletter as we always do and my SIL just emailed me and said she could "read between the lines" and she could tell that we were planning to have a baby in 2010... I have no idea where she got that hint because that was definitely not implied in ANY way. She said that they gathered all of their baby stuff- stroller/swing/car seat and crib and it is all ready for us to pick up and that she is really excited.... I haven't replied yet, I don't feel like crying today- what even made her come up with this thought?

Our families have no idea that we are/have been trying for a baby. I would love to take all of the baby stuff so that we wouldn't have to buy anything...but if we never have a child it would just make me cry- but if I ever did get pregnant I would sure wish we had it all!

 

[KiKi Mouse]

Kronks girl,

Wow...I don't even know what to say about your SILs email. I know for me it would hurt my feelings. I realize she means well but she doesn't know your situation. I am not sure how I would respond but I guess you will need to let her know before she is telling the world incorrect information.

*hugs*

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Mrs. Charming....so glad everything is fine!

 

[Mrs. Charming]

Kronk's girl-- Ahhh crap. It's always the well-meaning stuff that's the most hurtful. I'd have cried. Maybe she just assumed that you were trying.

And you know what? When you do get pregnant, buy your own stuff. Seriously, you'll be so much happier that you'll be able to buy things for your own baby. Sure a few hand-me-downs are fine, but these will be YOUR baby's.



I'd have given you more hugs but apparently there's a DIS imposed hug limit.

 

[Kronk's girl]

Yeah I know I can't be mad, she thinks she is being helpful (although I think it was her wishful thinking that she got that impression rather than my letter ). I have to think carefully about how to word my response. I wouldn't mind telling her the truth if I thought she wouldn't tell my MIL and FIL, but I know she would and I can't deal with them, I don't get along with my FIL.

I am going to hope that maybe she has a sixth sense and I am going to get pregnant soon

 

[Pollito916]

Kiki - 30 weeks already?!? That's great, you're almost there!

Mrs. Charming - I'm glad you can finally relax with those test results. I hope you have a happy & healthy 9 months!

Irisbud - Congratulations!!! Wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months too!

Kronk's girl - I had to use the nasal sprays this year too b/c my allergies were so out of control. But I didn't like the way they always dried my nose out and stuff, so I stopped using them after a few months. Maybe you could try starting out the season without them and discuss with your doc when it gets really bad. Sorry about your SIL's e-mail getting you down, she's probably just being hopeful for you guys and doesn't mean anything bad.

Awww, I hate when well-meaning people try to say the right things but have no idea how clueless they really are! I have just started to tell people the truth. My in-laws haven't asked (yet, as far as I know) but my family all knows I've been trying unsuccessfully so I don't get any more "helpful" advice from them anymore!

I know what you mean about the furniture, too. My best friend bought a whole nursery full of stuff when she found out she was pregnant, but then miscarried at like 8 weeks. Now it's sitting in the spare bedroom, taunting her. She is really regretful.

Well I'm 7 dpo so 1 week of He@# is over. My temps are continuing to climb which I hope is a good sign. I am so ready to either get my BFP or just quit trying.

YAY temps... keep rising!! You need a BFP!!!

And if the old red witch does show.. maybe take a lil break. Just for a little while, to get some sanity. Hey, do you have one of those Clear Blue Monitors? Maybe it'll help

 

[soontobewed07]

Well I'm 7 dpo so 1 week of He@# is over. My temps are continuing to climb which I hope is a good sign. I am so ready to either get my BFP or just quit trying.

I'm with you I have had breast tenderness belly twinges and I'm super emotional. We went it alone this month so I could have a break but if I get a BFN then I am done for a while. I cannot even think about it anymore. Everyone around me is pregnant and I am having a hard time with it. Of course not the girls here they all have waited so long for there little miracles

Irisbud- Congrats I am so happy for you. Baby sticking dust.

Mrs. Charming- He is amazing, but a little terror

 

[irisbud]

Good luck soontobewed and wdworbust!

Thanks for all of the well wishes everyone. I can't wait for our first appointment, but I don't want it to get here any sooner, as that would mean I had to go in early because something wasn't right.

I actually think that appt will be too early to see anything, but I will feel some reassurance if I have bloodwork done then, etc. My CBEFM showed peak Dec 24-25, but I was able to get a very strong, quickly developing positive on Jan 3 using a regular tests (not an early result). (I just decided to test then so I could tell myself it was too early if I got a BFN...), so I am not sure that the CBEFM was right.

If the CBEFM was right, I would be at 4 weeks and 5-6 days at my appt time, so too early for heartbeat or anything, but I will not complain about that as I will feel better getting a blood panel, etc. done and getting a new vitamin perscription as mine will just make it to that date.

When I MCed last time, they said everything looked good with hormone levels, etc., and the most likely problem was a genetic problem. I am hoping that it was just a fluke and won't occur again. I feel a little better today than I did yesterday, but still dread going to the bathroom as I am so afraid to see any spotting (sorry, TMI)

 

[Kronk's girl]

Good luck soontobewed and WDWorbust- I am crossing my fingers for both of you! There seems to be some good luck in here lately so hopefully it rubs off!

for Irisbud and Mrs. Charming. I could definitely imagine being paranoid still, but I hope things get easier soon and you can both enjoy this wonderful blessing! And Kikimouse you are almost there- Congrats!

Sending baby dust and sticky baby dust to all of us!
