New TTC Thread

[D&DDisney]

I want to take you all with me to the Moms to Be and close this thread down!!

Cherbear and STBW Sorry to hear of the witches arrival.

Thanks but you enjoy it over there with NO guilt. I am so happy for you I actually cried when you got your BFP. Enjoy that baby in your Belly EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of it. We will all get there soon enough (i'm being positive tonight )

Oh WDWorBUST...I hope I wasn't making you feel guilty with my response. I felt the same way when WDWAurora moved over there. Now, she's due in a few months. My how time flies.

E - You hang in there. Its not over yet.

Cherbear and Soontobewed - Darn that AF!!!!

Thanks everyone for all your sympathies for the loss of our dog Disney. It really has been rough the last few days. So expect her to be at my feet while I type or coming to greet us when we come home.

 

[cherbear]

Darn AF is right!! She's being a REAL PAIN this time around. I was glad I got to stay at home all day yesterday, laying in bed with a heating pad and lots of midol and coca cola, then pizza & a hot fudge sundae for dinner. LOL

But when she's gone, I gotta get my butt in shape!! I have a month til O! (explained below

I can't remember if I mentioned this already. My DH is the best man in his best friend's wedding in HOUSTON on the 27th. The rehearsal dinner is the 26th. We plan on leaving on the 25th but were willing to leave on the 26th if necessary due to my IUI cycle. However, it's just cutting it too close and we don't want to spend all that money on the injectibles and not be here for the IUI (or have me stay behind). So the nurse suggested doing BCPs for 2 weeks to stall everything, and then when AF comes again after I stop them, we'll start the injectibles/IUI cycle.

I'm glad they made that suggestion so I don't have to skip a whole cycle (especially considering my cycles had been longer than a month when I'm not on meds). Now it gives me a chance to get back in shape, too, since I've gained some weight the past couple of months (due to just not caring what I eat, and being scared of exercising in the 2ww)

Also we have a consult with the Dr. on the 23rd to go over everything and get a plan for the injectibles. I still don't know what I'll be taking and how often or anything!

Haha...I have done the same thing! For the last two years I have been using the excuse of "I am about to get pregnant anyway" or "I might already be pregnant, I should rest." I can't keep using that excuse , especially when I know it is okay to exercise while pregnant anyway. I am really going to try to start a real work out routine again, I got started last week and now I have to keep it up. Maybe it will help keep my mind off TTC.

it's really easy to use it as an excuse. Especially when I have my DH there insisting that I am not allowed to exercise during the 2ww. So when I was actually INTO my routine a few months ago, he made me stop in the 2ww....and I never went back. I tried to explain to him that it's OKAY to exercise in the 2ww if you are ALREADY on an exercising routine. They just say don't go overboard. I may have the dr. clear this up for us (him) at our appt on the 23rd.

WTG on starting up last week. We can hold each other accountable here! (but I'm not starting up til AF is gone...just so ya know. LOL)

 

[esbrick]

I think I am just numb. I was kinda expecting this not to work this time because of DH not feeling well and his "sample" was kinda small. Well at least I know I can have b-day drinks and not worry! Silver lining right. . . I left a message for the dr too.

I was just about to go all negative but I have to think that there are wonderful things happening and going to happen too! Some of us want to get more healthy, some of us got stronger by taking a break and for one of us a BFP! So I am going to do my best to not linger to long at my pity party and move on. . . ok i may just linger a little bit and bring a few beers...

Tomorrow is b-day and I'm off to NYC to see my parents and girlfriends. Bring on 39! Shoot! I'll be marching in the NYC St. Paddy's Day parade too around 11:30 AM NYC time so I will send you all a shout out walking down 5th avenue and a big cheers tomorrow night! You all have been such a great gift to me and I thank God that I met you!

Stay well ladies!

 

[cherbear]

Hugs Esbrick!!!

You're not completely out are you?? Did you test today?

 

[esbrick]

Hugs Esbrick!!!

Not officially. I am going to test this evening. I know it's 5 days early but I'm pretty sure I'm out. . .

 

[cherbear]

5 days?? Aww honey don't beat yourself up about this!!! You are not even near out this cycle. AF symptoms can mimic pregnancy symptoms and vice versa. So I'm not going to tell you one way or the other, but you are certainly not "out".

We'll be here to count this down with you. And no matter what happens we will cheer with you or be sad with you (and punch AF in the ugly face if she shows)

 

[D&DDisney]

Not officially. I am going to test this evening. I know it's 5 days early but I'm pretty sure I'm out. . .

You are definitely not OUT yet girlfriend. You still got that b-day wish coming tomorrow. Think positive --- Big Fat Positive!!!!

Cherbear - so sorry AF is being such a pain - literally.

Aw heck.... lets just all numb the pain.

 

[Kennywife]

I'll drink to that! LOL!

Kenny took me out today for an impromptu "shopping therapy" day since my b-day is coming up in a few weeks.

So, this is what I got:

a few new blouses, a new pair of jeans, Tommy Hillfigger sandals, Iron Man dvd (luvs me some RDJ ), a Disney gift card for my work trip in June, and I pre-ordered the Princess and the Frog DVD. We pick it up tommorrow!

My pookie, he really is the greatest.

Oh, if you haven't seen Alice in Wonderland, go see it; it's awesome!!!!!

Anna

 

[cherbear]

Anna I saw Alice last Sunday....it was incredible!!! I love Johnny Depp, LOVE HIM

 

[cherbear]

oh and I am TOTALLY jealous of your purchases. LOL

I bought a new Guess purse Friday after the Dr. That was a nice treat. I needed a new purse SOOOO bad! Mine was falling apart.

So the cramps are not so bad now. But I am, blech....nauseated now! I took my first BCP earlier, so not sure if it has to do with that.

 

[Kennywife]

I am sooo looking forward to June! I leave on June 1 with my cousin (I call her my sister since she and I are like sisters) and her gf and we're gonna be at Pop Century! They're staying for five days, I'm staying for 7. I got a preferred room and they have a standard room. That way, we can all do our own thing. Kenny is working this time, but he's coming with me this fall for the F&W festival/possible babymoon.

Anna

 

[cherbear]

Anna I'm jealous! Those are some great ressies!

I hope your next trip does end up being a babymoon!!

 

[Kronk's girl]

Oh Anna- that made me so hungry! Looks like you will have a wonderful trip- with Universal too? Lucky you! I am very jealous. I am desperate for a Disney trip- which is greedy to say since we are leaving for Europe soon. Haha- but you guys understand- Disney is just so fun! I hope you get a babymoon too!

I was really hoping to ovulate early this month, but it hasn't happened yet, and there are no signs yet. Ugh, I already knew AF would be joining us on our trip (well hopefully not, but probably yes), I would just like to know when! The last 2 years she has managed to hitch a ride on all my vacations- so annoying!

Still crossing my fingers for you Esbrick, and I am thinking of everyone else and sending good luck for the next cycle!

 

[soontobewed07]

Anna those are great reservations I would like to try Kouzzina soon. In December we are going with the QSDP and will pay out of pocket for sit down meals. DS didn 't do so hot after being in the parks all day.

Kronk's girl- Where are you going? I bet you are enjoying all of the planning that comes along with it.

Well girls no good news here. The AF I thought was starting stalled and I have to take a round over Progesterone to bring AF along. I still have 2 VERY large follies that will not let go. My estrogen was low and a negative Beta Sub. So I have to wait another 2 weeks at least to even start AF and go for another base line ultrasound. I am going to try the zone diet as recommended by the RE. So now out to get the book and do a grocery shop. UGH!

baby dust to everyone else

 

[cherbear]

stbw, I'm sorry for the frustration you are going through. If it's any consolation, I'm taking 2 weeks of BCP before I can start my 4th IUI cycle (first one with injectables) so I'm at a stall too right now.

At least you will get rid of those old follicles for sure, and can start fresh.

 

[cherbear]

I keep calling people by their screennames b/c I can't for the life of me remember anyone's name. I think Anna either signs hers or it's in her siggie so I usually address her as so. My name is Cheri. I will try to start putting it at the bottom of my posts here. Not sure I want it in my siggie.




~Cheri

 

[soontobewed07]

Cheri- Thanks I wish we could get to at least one IUI attempt. It is just too much some days. The pt before had a positive u/s and she was so happy and crying. I just get angry when I leave my appointments.

ugh...we just have to hope and pray and KNOW that THAT will be US someday!!

When I went to get my beta to confirm BFN, I was checking out and there was a woman leaving....the nurse said "oh you're graduating?? congratulations!!" Oh man, it was hard, but I just had to picture myself in the same situation. I want to hear that nurse say that I have graduated!!!
