New TTC Thread

[momsully]

Vetrik - Great news that it is not ectopic. I can imagine the relief with that.

D&D - I hope everything went okay at the doctor.

Skuttle - Have a great trip! Maybe you can get some alone time after DS goes to bed and bring home a great surprise! I don't remember where you are staying but you never know.

Aurora - Glad you got the meds figured out.

Yellowfish - Welcome!

Kiki - How are you doing? I think about you since our experiences (unfortunately) were so similar and keep hoping for the best for both of us. Did you try Clomid this month?

Well AF is due any day. I have decided that this is the month I am at least going to try the fertility monitor. I need to reset it and then it should be ready to go. At least then I can see what is going on.

I've given in to the insanity...we assembled our Christmas tree tonight. We're not decorating it at least until tomorrow. I want to make sure the cats don't turn it over before we decorate it. I know it's early, but we've been wanting to put it up for a while now and were going to wait until Thanksgiving. Then I realized that DH's parents would be up this weekend for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas concert with us (and DH's brother). Based on the family drama as of late, I doubt they'll be up again, so I'd like for them to see the house decorated (at least partially). So I know it's early, but there is some reason for the crazy.

Hopefully this will help a little with the endless funk, too.

Anybody else crazy?

 

[skuttle]

LOL Courtney! I actually started decorating for Christmas today...inside only. I normally decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we won't be getting home from WDW until late Saturday night so I decided to get a head start on decorating. No tree yet because we always do a real tree. DH offered to put the lights up outside, but we just wouldn't turn them on yet. I'm trying to hold off on the outside stuff until after Thanksgiving, though. At least the decorating keeps me busy...I am SO anxious for our trip. We fly out at 7:15pm on Friday!

 

[WDWAurora]

Thanks for making me feel like less of a freak! There were actually two other girls at work talking about decorating, so that made me feel better. I may start putting ornaments on tonight if I don't get lazy. AF is coming on with a vengeance thanks to the newest version of pills to bring her on. They did prometrium or something instead of provera and I think it's making me more crampy and stomach-problemy than I normally would be. Yuck!

I go out of town for a conference tomorrow. 2 days away from DH-yuck!

Well ladies I think I have some good news. I have done three postive HPTs this week. I don't believe it. I know I should be jumping for joy but after what I have been through I am TERRIFIED. I keep going to the bathroom thinking this is it...I'm going to see blood and lose another one. Everytime I go to the bathroom I rehearse how I will tell DH and what I will do.
It's insane.
I can't even say "I'm pregnant" I just say "I got a postive". I keep thinking this is going to be taken away from me.
All day long I swear I can feel cramping and trickling but so far nothing. I need to get past this fear and have no idea how.

So that's where I am. You guys are the first to know other than DH and our midwife.

On a great note we are leaving for WDW on the 1st.

I won't be around too much before we leave as I am working a lot and we are also going down for Black Friday. I want to give you all my good thoughts and hugs and wish you all good things.

 

[skuttle]

Oh Kiki! That is wonderful news! I know exactly how you feel about not being able to say you're pregnant..only that you got a BFP. I hope everything continues to go well for you! I know the last time was really tough on you, especially with an older DD. Good luck!

Vetrik, I hope things continue to go well for you,too.

It's SO hard to be excited about a BFP when you've suffered a loss.

Courtney..LOL! You are definitely not a freak. Just think of it this way, WDW has been having MVMCP since November 10th!

Have fun and relax!!! I am looking forward to my trip in 16 days .

This weekend I changed out our plates for our snowman winter plates. I put the Disney tree up in our kitchen and have it lit. I have candles in the windows too. I know it seems early but we also got a bunch of snow this past weekend so it put me in the mood.

I also listen to Christmas music in the van on my drive into work. The big tree won't go up until later, but I am enjoying the decorations that are up.

Well ladies I think I have some good news. I have done three postive HPTs this week.

Try to stay positive and congrats to you!

Just popping in to throw some baby dust around...I don't need it for another two years or so. Best of luck to all you ladies TTC.

 

[WDWAurora]

Well, the decorating has mostly ceased because we're not happy with our old lights and we've decided it's too late to go get more. DH will go get some tomorrow, but I will be out of town, so no decorating until Thursday when I get back.

The big box of drugs (BBD) is arriving to DH's sister tomorrow. He's going to go get it from her. I've told her to open it and put one in the fridge, so hopefully she doesn't get too annoyed with this being extra work for her. I'm a little afraid of the BBD!

 

[momsully]

Kiki - That is just incredible news. I know how you feel because of last time but hopefully this is it for you. Did you use the Clomid this month? Maybe that was all you needed. Have a great trip!

Allison - Enjoy the AKL. We stayed there in April and it was great.

Aurora - You are not crazy. I started to put up our Christmas Village and am making DH do the lights this weekend as we will be out of town for Thanksgiving visiting the inlaws.

Debbie - Everything okay with the doctor???

 

[Jen_in_NH]

Kiki and vetrik - I'm so excited for you guys!!!!

Aurora - you're not crazy at all. I'd be doing it too, but the tree would never live until Christmas. We have a whole trip planned for the first weekend in Dec. to go up to camp and hunt for a tree.

Congrats, Kiki!

Congrats KiKi!!! That's great news. I know what you mean about worrying about every twitch or bathroom visit. I think I lived my entire pregnancy that way. Then, after he was born, I wondered everyday if he'd be taken away from me. Infertility takes all the fun away and puts permanent fear into you.

Well, my tests turned out just fine. Couldn't find anything. Turns out the vitamins I was taking this month (specially formulated and specifically marked for women) had estrogen in them. It wasn't labeld as such but my doctor said that the soy extract herb in them was what they make synthetic estrogen from. Needless to say the doc thinks that what was causing the problem for me. She said other women have tried these vitamins for menapause, infertility or just thinking they were better for them - only to find they were dangerous. So from now on I'll stick to my generic Centrum.
If anyone out there is taking a vitamin marked "for women" or "for her" beware that you may be getting more than you need or want.

I believe this rules me out this month. Just hoping for some "magic" during our Disney trip next month. Would LOVE to bring home that kind of a souvinere.

 

[vetrik]

Congrats Kiki!!!!

I do know what you mean about being worried. I still look for blood or spotting every time I go to the bathroom, and I'm still not quite believing that this will really work out. I think that's why we still haven't told anyone in real life. Are you going to get early monitoring (bloodwork/ultrasound) with your doctor?

I am also joining the decorating early group. I bought a couple new decorations the other day, and I started pulling out my Christmas tubs. I'm not sure what we're doing about a tree this year, so that's on hold right now!

I've been even more into Christmas shopping this past week - I really would like to have that done soon. I've bought a bunch of gifts just in the last few days.

 

[KiKi Mouse]

I have an early ultrasound scheduled for Dec 9th the day we return from WDW.
That will put me around 8 weeks I think. The appt. is with the specialist I saw. The one who gave me the Clomid. I hope everything goes well.

Re: vitamins,
perhaps just take pernatals

I kept taking them after DD#2 was born just because I still had some in the house.

 

[momsully]

Kiki and Allison - Have a great trip!

 

[skuttle]

Thanks, Momsully! We fly out at 7:15pm tonight and our flight is only 1.5 hours so it won't take us long at all!! I am SO excited. Not really expecting a BFP this month since "prime time" is this coming week and I know we won't get to do much BD'ing, but that's okay. I figure the Metformin needs time to rebuild in my system anyways. After we get back from our trip I'll be making DH's followup appt with the urologist so I'm really looking forward to getting all of that started to find out if we have any hope! Even though last month's BFP ended up being another chemical pregnancy, I still think it was a good sign that at least some of those sperm are trying to help us out! That's better than nothing, I suppose!

I hope all of you girls have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

 

[KiKi Mouse]

Have a great trip and tell us all about it when you get back

 

[D&DDisney]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

Hope everyone gets what their wishing for!

 

[KiKi Mouse]

Happy Thanksgiving ladies.

I'm Canadian and I am going down to the US to shop on Friday...

I just wanted to wish you all a good holiday with your families.
