I just started reading the posts I have missed the past few days, and I am so sorry to hear about af showing up so early! That is VERY strange! Hopefully your body is prepping for a good cycle next month! xx

Sorry I've been absent, and thank you for thinking of me! I was mad at the world thinking I was out with a huge temp drop and neg FRER, but tested again with an IC on Thurs and got a bfp! Hope you're feeling well!

My tough little miracle hey!!

I am SO glad baby is ok, 5! Praying for you and your little bean and please try to get as much rest as you can! I know I have a hard time letting people help me, but don't tell them no! xx

I was SO sure I was out b/c I had a HUGE drop in temp on Wed., and thought I would start spotting as I was due for af on Fri and normally start spotting on temp drop day, but never started and still felt preggo on Thurs. Did a FRER, it was neg, but I took out an internet cheapie, and it was BFP!!! I'm going to try to attach a pic. The dr. took betas Thurs and it was 24.3. They are going to check next week to make sure they double properly (since i had the chemical in Dec. and 2 previous m/c before my DS) Taking progesterone daily and keeping fx this is a sticky bean!

WTH?!!! I'm so sorry Cinss, That's weird. I'm so confused on what's going on with your cycles :worry:

I really hope that it won't happen again. xxx

Congrats Yah, I'm so happy for you ..FX you have a sticky blue bean!! xxx

How are you Kris? You are getting so close :running: So exciting!

I'm doing good thanks, only 12 days till bub will be here! Very curious to see what she looks like, I've been having all sorts of dreams about it. I think I've been having BH contractions for 2 days, haven't had them all pregnancy but I assume that is what it is.

Yahmama, congrats!! Wonderful news :)

Thanks, i am so confused, do you think it could be EPO? I added it back for my second cycle, that is really the only thing i changed, i am not overly stressed, in fact i am pretty laid back generally. I am kind of thinking the universe is playing with me right now. I did some googeling, i know bad idea, and i refuse to believe i have some sort of ovarian dysfunction, my periods were like clockwork before ttc.

So were mine Cinss. I got my period Saturday morning every 4 weeks and ovulated Sat in between. Now all of a sudden Last AF came on wed 4 days late....but it did come this time on a wed but only lasted 3 days. Not sure what added the 4 days to my cycle and shortened AF???

yahmama-congrats on the BFP!!!!!!!!!!! Funny the FRER was neg and then the cheap test is + lol

oh and i love your ticker so cute

COngrats Yahmama!!

Yahmama - Congrats on the BFP!!! :pregnant: :bluecheer:

Thank you everyone for the congrats! I will feel much more at ease after getting my betas re-checked next week. On Thurs (13dpo) they were 24.3, so I go back next Thurs, at which time they should be around 300 something if they are doubling properly. I'm definitely more at ease with this one than my loss in Dec. b/c I've still got very sore bbs whereas they didn't stay that way in Dec., and my test is showing up on the less sensitive test that it never showed up on in Dec. Just praying and praying this is a sticky one!

3pink1blue- I have a few questions about your diet this last time. Can you tell me about your dietary changesnto get your son? Did you add more meat? Did you stay away from anything you had been eating? After seeing you had a son after 3 girls, it gives me hope my dreams will also come true.

Wannahealthybaby - I was/am a big fan of the HE diet. I ate lots of fruits/veg and meats and stuck to full fat dairy. I didn't as much add meat as eat a greater variety. I used to eat mostly chicken and turkey burger so I made sure to eat more red meat and pork. Breakfast was always eggs, bacon and hash browns. I avoided all processed foods except bread and drank only juice, coffee, water and green tea.
Glad I provide hope, after 3 girls I honestly never thought I'd get my guy :)

Ladies with funky cycles, it's probably your sups and will hopefully even out.

Please don't panic, I would put it down to dietry changes and supps!

So as for me ladies, sick with a flu and on strict bed rest have been here for days now but I am ok with that anything for my baby :)

We announced it too hopefully not jumping the gun but we are sooo excited!!! :D

Congratulations Yah!!! stick baby stick!


Sorry you have the flu TTC5 but yay for announcing!!

Cinss-- SS about your cycle :(

3Pink- Thanks for the pep talk! I start my day with bacon & eggs with DH at 5am when he leaves for work. Then I have special k (which is actually not that bad..i've never had grown up cereal lol) when the girls get up at 8ish with a banana. Lunch will hopefully be some sort of salad with either soup or a sandwich. I also love snacking on hash browns with melted mozzarella cheese wrapped in a tortilla with homemade salsa. My MIL showed me that and omgosh it's so good and screams blue!

I've mapped out the whole month of March's dinners with beef twice a week. We pretty much never have red meat aside from meatballs so my DH is thrilled! I'm hoping that does the trick. We used to drink sweet tea by the gallon too (horrible I know) but it has been replaced with a gallon of water, green tea once a day and v-8 splash once a day. Please God let this do the trick! If anything I'm eating the best I ever have and perhaps it could be a permanent change. I haven't given up my morning coffee, but absolutely no soda otherwise (also huge for me).

3-I have to try this wrap sound so good! I don't like salsa but i love tomato so I just add that !

Congrats, Yahmama! Glad everything looks good, TTC5! Excited to see your baby girl, Kris. xxoo

Thanks Lola, me too! :) 10 days!

Kris, will you update with pictures when she is here? Can't wait to see her!

Of course, I'll post a pic or 2 while in the hospital. Will be there for 6 days so the laptop will be coming too lol.

I've heard EPO can mess with your cycle ..I would avoid it. I'm hoping this won't happen again. It sucks to wait and wait again :( I really hope this cycle is the one for you.

Hope you feel better 5' :HH:

Yep, Cinss, I would drop the EPO and see how your cycle goes this next round. I got wacked out early or late O, sometimes short LP, with supps when I was swaying hard core last year. I dropped it all and now my cycles are really normal. I am sure it was the supps.

PoP.... When I conceived my boys I used to have AF for only 2-3 days and I normally had 28day cycles. When I started the supps it changed everything. My last 3mths AF lasted 4-6days, AF kept coming early, and CD changed nearly every mth. I was confused but now I hope it's a good sign.

Thanks PP...that gives me some hope! I really hope you get the girl and I get the boy for a change!!!

How long your in hospital for so long Kris, is everything ok?!

Well I'm having a c-section and that is just the standard time, why is that longer than usual? I wanted a c-section anyway but my placenta is still way too low so I get one anyway. Bub's head can't even engage cos it's in the way. I'm having steroid injections next week to help her lungs along then she'll be here on the Friday :)

You must be going private Kris? That's a standard C-Section stay where I go as well. I stayed 4 nights for a NVD both times.

popping on to say congrats Yahmama!! FX for high betas and a sticky bean :)
