January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

Bec - I see my dr tomorrow but yes I think they will do a scan to make sure it is not ectopic x

Oh good, it's nice to have close monitoring.

I spoke to my doctor today and I have to have a BT tomorrow. I know I'm not pregnant but since he thinks I O'd after the trigger he wants to check what is going on (since that was 3 weeks ago now).

Let us know how you go tomorrow Bec!!

Yayyyyyy bubba you lil miracle!!!!!!!! The dr thinks the reading of 3 may have been so low because the hcg had only just reached my blood in the previous few hours.

Yeah!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

5- yay!!! So happy for you!!

I feel a little funky today... I can't test yet, though! Only 10dpo.

I totally understand that. I would feel the same way....sorry for asking that question.....I just don't hear of babies moving that much when born so early. Well, all things happen for a reason, as cliche as that is to say. It is super touching and peaceful that she never knew life outside of your body or arms.

THIS IS SO AMAZING! Go little #5 bean! Wow, sorry you had to get all worried yesterday! So what is up now with the bowel thing and all? You doing ok? Are they doing another blood soon?

I was going to write the EXACT same thing. I was so optimistic yesterday, and today I just feel like I am psyching myself up for a complete letdown- again. Well, I am super thrilled for TTC5, so that is making me feel positive!

What do you mean funky?

Lola - I definitely think we have a new joke but oh the newbies, can you imagine their horror and confusion :rofl:

Come on now ladies, drop that defeated attitude! Wait for AF to decide it's over!

Off to another mw appt this afternoon, cross your fingers my gbs is negative and he's still head down!

Oh, the dreaded gbs. I had it both times. Good luck today!!!!

I only had it with dd2, it's the last thing I dread this time.

Good luck Jen!!

Bec hope the doc can figure out what's up. It's great that he's so on top of your care though, FX for some good news!

FX for Hobber and Lola ... anyone else testing? Soni maybe? I feel like there were a handful of y'all testing on Saturday.

5 I think I said it on another thread but I'm thrilled this bean is sticking :) FX the numbers just keep getting better and better!!!

A little crampy and a touch nauseous... but it is probably nothing. I squeezed and squished my boobs a bunch and they feel totally normal.

Well, my boobs didn't feel tender until after my bfp every time I was pg. Other symptoms are curious.....

So, I had a huge jump in temp today, and wondering if it means anything other than I have a sore throat and maybe I'm getting sick? Also, I didn't sleep well, but I have those nights often and it doesn't jump up this much! Could anyone take a look at my chart and see what you think? I'm hoping its not just that I'm about to get sick...
My Ovulation Chart
Other symptoms: I have a bad breakout on my jawline and chin too, which I usually only get a couple of days before AF and I'm only 6dpo! Plus, this is a worse breakout than I've had since I was in my early 20s! Bad, bad!
Plus I still have slight cramping going on, though not as bad as the previous two days. Thought it might be implantation related? FX!

I meant to say I have "craps" today. :wink:

I think it is probably me wanting to see symptoms that aren't there. I get "craps" all the time, I have had them every cycle and gotten BFN's.

My temps have been in the 98.4's, 98.5's and 98.6's. I don't know if that's a sign of anything, but I hope so! FX for you !

Hobbs, me too. I usually don't get them in the middle, though, just about 11dpo for a few days before. Who knows....don't stress though....you haven't even tested yet and you never know! Many, many women have zero symptoms.

Yahmama, I couldn't tell ya, but sounds like your hormones are kicking with the acne. Do you normally get cramps (ah, er, craps) during your cycle this early? I hope you feel better, though. Not to get your hopes up, but I usually get a little under the weather when early pg due to the immune system being compromised to let the bean implant and do its thing.

THanks! THe thing is my temps are NEVER above 98.3 when I'm not pregnant...the beginning of this cycle you can see where my temps were still high from the chemical. I've charted for the last 6 months and not a single morning temp above 98.3 except for the cycle with the chemical.

No, I usually don't get (craps!) until a couple of days before AF. I got them last month with the chemical and they never went away, so it's actually worrying me a little bit like something could go wrong again...that's one reason I'm worried about possibly getting sick too!

I hear ya. I would just try to beat the cold as much as you can....you know what has helped me avoid any sort of illness this whole fall/winter season? This miracle drink powder stuff called EmergenC. I've used it for years, and it helps so much. You can get it at lots of places....health food stores and vitamin stores all have it. As far as the craps :wink: that is a good sign if you normally don't get them, I would say. Try not to worry about another m/c.....I know, easier said than done, and I will be the same way if ever pg again, but having craps again does not mean things will necessarily go in the same direction. When are you testing?

Yes, I have been drinking Emergen-C the past 3 days since I've been feeling like I'm going to get sick! I think it does help A LOT and hopefully it's keeping things from getting worse. My 2 DDs have had bad coughs and runny noses, so I knew it would try to come to me eventually!
I'm going to try to hold of POAS until next Tues, which would be 10dpo. Maybe it would be better to wait until 11, though, since I've never gotten a bfp before then. I'll see how I feel next week...I don't want to waste any hpt's!

I see my dr today to talk about what next. As we def can not do the xray now.. he mentioned a bowel specialist and colonoscopy. Have not gone since the fleet almost a week ago now :( Had pains last night which isnt a good thing. And the bloods I have to have the glucose test as I failed the fasting one.

With so many of you gals having the craps I think we will be getting at least one more BFP this month!! I am shocking with poas. I use opk's every day until 9 dpo then start the hpt's. With my last daughter I got + opk at 8dpo that turned into a BFP at 10dpo. I am bad!! An addict....

Goodluck at the docs today TTC5. I have heard that Aloe vera drink can help get things moving in there. Also some people have problems with bowel movement when they stop drinking coffee and eat a lot of startchy foods like potatoes, so maybe mention that you were on the boy diet without actually saying boy diet ;)

I think so too!!!!!!

Well I did a POO ladies Wooo Hooooo!!!!!!! :D

Must be a boy lol as I have NEVER had this happen before?!!! Going sooo long without a poop or the need to either!!

TTC5 I'm so happy you pooped gal ;). And I'm so thrilled about the betas

FX for you ladies in 2ww limbo... I know it's so tough to sit and second-guess symptoms, temps, etc

AFM - well AF has officially come, two weeks after the peak on the monitor! I am pretty sure my body tried to O but didn't b/c my temps didn't shift. Now I get to see if my cycles will be normal or irregular... I am happy on one hand b/c I will probably be able to lose the last of my baby weight now. But also bummed... Honor is so high-needs, nurses tons, etc - you would think my body would hold off on being fertile. Maybe having more kiddos makes you more fertile... Anyways, I hope cycles are normal and make it easy to TTA since it's this time next year that we want to try.

Hooray for the poop TTC5!!

Skrimpy, I guess you are happy to see AF... hope your cycles get back to normal soon!
