How's everyone doing? Ribbons, how's the nausea treating you? I'm feeling quite green around the gills. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I'm queasy. I'm burping a lot (probably caused in part by the sodas I'm drinking to try to settle my stomach) and I've gagged/dry-heaved twice this morning. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I'm lucky that I have my own office at work, but it's still tricky trying to act normal when interacting with my colleagues, rather than showing that I feel like I might just yak on their shoes.

I was sure I would have some time between the LE diet and morning sickness to really enjoy food, but nope. I started having nausea on 14dpo and didn't test until 18dpo ... so now I'm just holding on until late first trimester and will hopefully start to feel good again. Oh, and not that the nausea is preventing weight gain, though ... I'm already up five and a half pounds from when I ovulated!!! I'm hoping that that's just because I was in such a deprivation mode (I was at 95.5 lbs. when I ovulated) that this is simply my body bouncing back, taking advantage of me snacking and eating all day, rather than only twice a day. I still weigh a pinch less than when I conceived my other two kids, so hopefully it'll even out soon, as I approach "normal" early-pregnancy weight.

Barf, barf. How's everyone else doing? Lassie? Kraizy? Surgena? Distract me!!

Sorry to hear you are feeling bad Dramabird, but that means you bean is growing nicely. CD5 for me, so not much to talk about on my end. We are buying a house, so I am trying to let it get my mind off TTC. I failed on all my clomid cycles and the post clomid cycle so I am feeling like my daughter will never happen.

Ah KD

exciting about the house though! Is it bigger, roamier, dreamier? I've got houses on the brain, though we cant afford to buy an upgraded one yet. Our house is small!

Hi girls,

I'm 2dpo today and not feeling hopeful at all this month. Just taking it one day at a time.

Kraisy, congrats on the new house! Maybe being distracted by moving is a good thing... It seems like people get PG right when they turn their attention to something else.

So sorry to hear about the ms Dramabird. I get it real bad too, it's just horrible. Hope it goes away soon!

Good to see you Amari, is your ms under control? Hope you are feeling well!

Good luck to everyone! We need some more BFPs!

[Ribbons]

Dramabird, my m/s is doing fine, really, definitely better than I've ever had it. But I still feel 'urpy' pretty much all day and through the night. Kind of like a low-level seasickness. Eating helps a lot. Not so bad as dry-heaving though, sorry! I know how it is to try to hide it at work, been there done that! NO fun. I do think that it was the deprivation that is making us gain so fast... I gained a whopping 5 lbs right away, but it's leveled off a bit thankfully. Still not up to my pre-LE diet weight (but almost there)

Kraisy, congrats! Buying a house is so stressful but so rewarding... how far along are you in the process? We just bought a house here in CA, BIG sticker shock from TX (where our house was literally 2x as big and 1/3 the price!! Crazy!) and now we are settling into the reality of paying this ginormous mortgage for 30 more years... we couldn't afford it on our own, so we are renting out our bottom level, which makes it very affordable but sort of like living in an apartment again. Maybe we should have kept renting... LOL - but I love my house and it was worth all the stress and money for sure!

Amari! I was wondering what happened to you. I can't believe you are already 14 weeks!!

MyGirl, what were your attempts like? Why are you not feeling hopeful?

I hope everyone else is well!

[coocoobananas]

I don't want to jinx myself as theis has never happened before... But I feel ok today. It's still there(m/s) but like soooo close to normal. It may just be today but omg, I will be so thankful!
I am still on Zofran and I have more Accupuncture on Thursday but between that and snacking I think I may have my plan down to feel my best... Let's see if I report back after lunch with a different story lol!
Of course now my stomach is upset for other reasons. My very good friend who just had a mastectomy didn't get good news and I am having a hard time with it. My worries are nothing compared to hers. Sorry to be a downer but largely on my mind that it is making me physically ill

[myGirl]

Coocoo, I was just replying to you on the 2ww thread... I think you, Butterfly and Babyy are the only BFPs this month? I just am hoping to see more, more, more!!

I'm so glad you are feeling ok, I bet the acupuncture is really helping. I am so sorry to hear about your friend, it is so hard when someone you care about is very ill.

Ribbons, I don't know why I'm not hopeful this month, I had lots of good attempts (4 leading up to O). But I had good attempts last month and BFN, so worrying about my fertility a bit. I'm glad to hear you're feeling ok and things are going well.

[Lassie1982]

Sometimes I think it safer to be non hopeful, you come down with less of a crash when you get the bfn! Well , I do anyway.
I'm another not hopeful for this month.
Maybe its because I'm looking forward to a break from swaying. Who knows.
We had a ton of good attempts, but then we had a ton of good attempts the month prior as well an no pregnancy.
I'm actually thinking of maybe getting just the basic routine fertility checks done when we attempt again in a couple of month just to rule out any issues or problems.
