TTC Girl - January 2012

[suregena]

Me too! She told me she had a test ready to use, and I'm DYING to hear the results!

I don't know if this is all in my head, but suddenly I FEEL pregnant. I'm feeling sick to my stomach again, and I ate a piece of toast about an hour ago (first brekkie in months), so I know it's not just hunger. I know m/s is a horrible thing, but I had NO symptoms with my pregnancy last Fall and we all know how that ended.... I say bring on the symptoms - at least it will help me know there's a bean cooking in there!

If it makes you feel any better (in terms of even a sad thing like pregnancies lost)... my first two pregnancies that ended in miscarriage had ZERO symptoms, as well. Nothing. Nada. Felt normal. That should have been my warning sign, for sure.

My third, and first, successful pregnancy with my son, as I was still waiting for my post 2nd miscarriage period, my first symptom was nausea... well, actually, it went like this...
We went to visit a friend in Liverpool, and we went out to eat lunch and this place had MEGA portions. They were (men) both struggling, and I said, "Oh, yeah, I got this. I'm finishing it!" And I did. They were pretty stunned.
A couple nights later, I spent all day making this big vegetarian shepherd's pie, and when it got down to eating it, I ate most of the mashed potato but stopped. I just felt way too uncomfortably queasy.
Then that morning, I woke up and felt like I was going to throw up. I told my husband I was calling into work because I thought I had a stomach bug. He left for work, and I called in sick to work, then I laid in bed going, "UGGGGGGGH. I cannot believe I have a stomach bug!" followed by, "UGGGGGGH! When in the hell am I going to get my period?! I just want to start over again..."
Then I laid there and thought, "Oh... uhhh..."
Had one test left over from my second pregnancy, and it was super positive.

Heeh.

So, feeling sick? I can relate, after a pregnancy loss, that is SUCH a reassuring sign!

KD, you can find pyschics and where to find them on the internet pyschic gender prediction thread in the "chit chat lounge" but I found ruby via her website ttcbabylovepredictions, but now after I've paid money for her reading and got it, I've read some terrible things on the web about her, so I would so not go to her again, though she was prompt

roseknows just google her name and you'll find her website, she was alright, but I don't think it was worth the money at all, it just caused me more anxiety about concieving more boys in the future...stress was so not what I needed hehe


I don't even fully believe them, but still, it is unnerving to pay for news you did not want to hear....

Thanks for the info. I may look into it.

Hi everyone,
I am too nervous to test!

I have cramping pains, sore boobs, my temp was 98.6, I am nauesous, a bit dizzy and irritable!
I am 15 dpo and I know I am pregnant without testing.
I will be happy but I am just coming to terms with a postive pg! We have talked and talked every month for a year about this....but we never came close to really trying to conceive we were focused on trying to only get girls in there!! lol I wish that were possible!

I guess I am scared...I am now 38 and my sway was horrible.
This is the last baby for me....there are so many things to be scared of...I work full time and will be pg with 2 kids.
I am already a tired stressball! I am worried about the baby's health, even the due date which is September 11th which does not make me happy....and then, the gender issue to top it all off!
Of course I would love another baby,...a boy or girl. I think my sway was brutal....I did not stick to any diet, I stopped all supplements bc I was confused, I took sinutab bc I was sick (not reactine or zyrtec like I was supposed to), and we dtd a lot!

And, just like many others with stories about parents saying things that are not helpful......Christmas Eve a family sits down in church behind us with two girls. My mom joked and said we should switch a child so we have one of each! She has no idea how much that hurt me. I am the third chilid and she had a girl and a boy and she has told me all her life she did not need me bc she already had one of each,...of course, she then tells me how I was a Godsend and I am actually her favourite. But, there is sooo much pressure now to have a girl. If it were just up to me it might be easier but everyone has to comment or put in their judgement.

Sorry for the rant!
I know you all want to be happy for me.....I am just scared right now and trying to process....I already know what the test will say!

I will spend the rest of the day trying to focus on good things.,..being home from work, telling my two boys they will have another sibling,..they will love it!

Thanks for listening.
I hope everyone understands

lemon, understand that you're nervous, but if you know you're pregnant... JUST PEE ON THE STICK!!!
deal with things after that
this baby is destined to be yours... if it is a boy, he really wanted you to be his mummy

Kraizy - just want to say what a cute photo that is!

Kraizy - just want to say what a cute photo that is!

Oh thanks! That's my kraizy bunch of boys! Love them, but wouldn't it be awesome to have a DD in the middle somewhere LOL!!!

[KraizyDaizy]

Oh, Lemon sweety, I think you would be a stress-ball whether your sway was perfect or not, so give in and test. At least you would know without a shadow of a doubt.

[Mochagirl]

We totally understand, lemon. We're all here because we are experiencing or have experienced gender desire, and it's totally normal to be scared when you get pregnant. I've swayed 3 times - one failed sway with ds3, one sway for which I'll never know the outcome with my angel baby, and this one. Each time I've been scared about what would happen. This is DEFINITELY the last child for us as well, so if this is a boy, it means I'll never get my girl....

I just think if you ARE pregnant you should test so you know for sure and can start taking good care of yourself - eating well and taking proper prenatals. I just took a prenatal today for the first time since my m/c (I was just taking folic acid on its own while swaying), and I also made myself eat some breakfast.

No matter what, we're here for you

Oh thanks! That's my kraizy bunch of boys! Love them, but wouldn't it be awesome to have a DD in the middle somewhere LOL!!!
