Lola thanks for empathizing! I love how many of us in our little crew are really coming from the same place on all this stuff. It helps so much to feel like other people "get it" too.

Beg whine and cry Jen! Do it shamelessly! Last time I got the NT scans, which here they do at 12 weeks and 16 weeks, and then no more for the rest of the pg. But my doc said due to having a large birthweight baby (dd2 was almost 9.5 lbs) they will probably do a late-term scan on me with baby #3. Which will SUCK b/c I will TOTALLY want to know gender at that point, LOL!

ZB, c'mon, there is NO tmi anymore, LOL! That EWCM sounds PERFECT for your attempt so I think skipping all the other fake business was smart. Go with the natural when you've got it for sure! With CP SHOW and all the CM I would guess you'll O within 24 hours. I would wait a couple hours since you just DTD, but I would check the CP/CM again later and see how it feels. I bet by tomorrow afternoon you'll find it closing up.

ZB - woohoo!

Baby - I see a midwife and usually only get one scan at 20ish weeks but I'm hoping between the Oct incident and my 10 yr history with them that they'll bring out the little office one just to take a peek. Truth be told I'll beg, whine and full on cry to get it done if I have to.

You go girl, do what you gotta do to get that scan, i'm sure they'll do it considering your history. I thought the US did more than one scan.

Begonia, i was trying to ask all sorts at scan today but didnt get much info. I asked about placenta & she said she cant tell because it only develops from 101wks, asked about heart rate she said she cant check but she did say she thinks i ovulated from the right. My scan pic has baby on right side so i dont know if that means left but i if i remember well scans are read differently depending on how they are taken, mine was an internal one

[begonia]

Interesting about the scans Baby! I had no idea about the placenta not being developed yet, not being able to check heart rate, etc. I totally forgot but I did have an 8 week scan with DD2 as well. So I had 3 with hers. And with DD1 I had 5!!! That was unusual though and the extras were for different concerns my doc was having.

So Jen you'll be 10 weeks when you go, right? And hey congrats on having award winning girls

My nausea has been so weird so far; I just have absolutely no appetite. I'm feeling awful bc this baby is not getting much nourishment ... I've been trying to drink juices and milk to keep some nutrients going, but I just feel so blah about eating. It's bizarre. I ate the fried chicken sandwich yesterday and that went down well but it didn't sound good at all today, so I've just had juice, milk and some popcorn at the movies with DD1. We saw Cars 2

b- don't worry if it comes to the crying I'll be nominated for an academy award for my touching performance lol Oh and I'm with you too, I've already wrapped my mind around another girl. Yep I'll be 10 wks to the day and thanks, we are very proud

Baby- With a dr you get many more but unless there's a reason midwives tend to look much less.

Hi gals - I am popping in for a minute here. Honor is super fussy in the evenings, which is when I usually checked in on the forums. Going to try and pop in sometime in the mornings (her best time) to keep up w/ personals because I miss cheering everyone on!

Aside from evening fussies things are going really well for us and I am still so in love with my newest little lady!

TTC5 can you update my listing for me?

TTC DC # 6
I am continuing a pg diet while nursing my DD - starting to tailor it to boy diet but still keeping in dairy. I've started up a few breastfeeding-safe supplements: Prenatal, Folic Acid, Fish Oil, B-complex, plus extra B6 and B12. Doing the B's to help keep postpartum depression at bay since I struggled w/ prenatal depression/GD. Also doing Vit. D and Iodine supps a couple of times a week. DH is about to start a very primal/paleo diet to try and lose weight but I will keep up a moderate carb intake. Going to start some strength training when my midwife gives the go-ahead! Hopefully will shed extra baby lbs and build some muscle by the time my cycles resume - will chart & add more supps at that point

Done

OK, here comes TMI:
I had -OPK at 2pm BUT my CP was very high and soft around 3pm and SHOW around 5pm.
DH came back home around 5:20, so I was all over him immediately lol! and we dtd once around 5:30pm, no bsf, no ew ( although I planned to use some but gave up the idea as I had enough ~hopefuly~ EWCM with pH close to 8 So I didn't want to ruin that natural CM with such great pH.

If my CP SHOW around 5pm and I had completely clear and stretchy EWCM, when do you think I Oed?
(btw those OPK strips I'm using are obvious crap I'll test tomorrow though, just in case)

FX for you!!!! Can't comment on when you may have o'd though sorry as it would be a blind stab in the dark but given your cervix was open and you had ewcm you are in for a fabbo chance I say!!!!

[TTC5]

TTC5 your DH is a total doll for saying that!!

My DH gets excited about me being pg bc my boobs get big, LOL! I'm normally an a-cup and get up to a C, so it's big fun for him .... until I start lactating

My boobs are soo big already from this weight gain I would be about a DD not LOL I go up at least 2-3 sizes when preg so I am going to be like G - for Ginormous! lol lol

Happy 8 weeks Jen!!
