I also know I wouldn't want to! </p> <p>Rooting for you this cycle, lady! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1215068 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 07:26:34 +0000 Happygal 1215068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for letting me pout it out. </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: "mom activists"--that's a perfect way to put it! I feel torn about FB. I don't want people to fee like they have to hide their joy, and the fact is that if wasn't on FB, it would be somewhere else. It's just a bitter pill to swallow with this whole shebang. I would love to share something if/when that time comes--I like the idea of letting people know what it took to get there. If anything does go on FB, a lot of thought will be put into what goes up and how it should be phrased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1215042 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 06:17:27 +0000 FaithFertility 1215042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: You are such a humble person, even PG you dint forget the road to get there! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214502 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:21:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 1214502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: sounds about right. I mean, there is a part of me that wants to celebrate, but at the same time, even seeing those announcements while pregnant is still hard. So if we had decided to announce, it absolutely would have included a reference to the road to get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214499 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:17:59 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1214499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: OMG, you totally deserve to pouty pout about that one. Can you hide her? Or do you feel comfortable having a heart-to-heart with her about it? Maybe it will make her remember what it feels like and be more sensitive about it. Unfortunately, I've hidden most of my new mom friends, especially the mom-activists.</p> <p>And I totally agree with the others about not making a FB announcement about pregnancy. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing that when the time comes, or if I do I may reference the rough road it took to get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214490 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:10:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1214490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: sending you so many hugs! You're doing an awesome job balancing things. You'll get through it!</p> <p>@Happygal: sending you hugs as well. There are days when I don't even know why I'm on FB anymore. I decided not to announce there because seeing new mamas/babies/announcements completely killed me this year. If I am honest, in a way, sometimes they still hurt in a very bizarre way. I hope that you can find some peace.</p> <p>Love to all :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214482 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:05:28 +0000 justdarling 1214482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Big Hugs! You would think that she would be more sensitive since she had such a long journey. I don't even want to make an announcement on FB (when the time is right) about our pregnancy. I know how it feels to see all of those posts and I don't want to make anyone feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214480 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:01:52 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1214480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: hugs hugs hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1214474 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:57:04 +0000 Happygal 1214474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>May I do a little pouty pout pout? </p> <p>I have a friend who tried to get pregnant for three years. That's a long time. She's so happy now that has had her baby, and I'm happy for her. But. . . her FB posts though as killing me! I love the happy pictures, but she keeps posting articles about how being a mom is so awesome and tagging all our newly recent mom friends in it. Then they all comment and call each other mommas and tell each other they're awesome. Last picture was of all the new moms out with their babies together. It's like a new mom clique, I'm not included, and it's hard to see. </p> <p>I feel badly thinking that b/c she tried for so long and is just so happy. But I know I can be honest here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212505 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:04:48 +0000 BSB 1212505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: yeah, it's crazy and we are close to the airport. (In no traffic, we can get to the airport in 15 minutes. ) I just told DH the plan and it will be a super early day for the both of us but he thinks its doable. He will be traveling back east so he will need to check a bag. It's okay. </p> <p>@Happygal: thanks! </p> <p>Well, I just felt a bit overwhelmed leaving work. With my BFN &amp; AF starting off my morning, then followed by phone calls to and from the RE and pharmacy, I wasn't very productive psychologically and emotionally. I stayed late to make up for it. Realized I have some many projects that I have to keep track of. Then all the dr appts I have coming up. So I felt kinda crazy and overwhelmed while leaving work. Almost got upset on my way home but luckily a good song popped on the radio and lifted my mood. (Posted a thread on it.)<br /> Staying upbeat. Can't get too upset. Moving forward. I got a lot of emails out before I left work so I just have to wait for the replies. Work will be fine. Breathe. </p> <p>Vent over. Wanted get that off my chest. I do feel better admitting it and thinking things through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212167 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:12:40 +0000 FaithFertility 1212167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Man I hope so :))) I am typical work and everyday lIfe :) but it seems to be taking FOREVER! I go in for BW on the 18th :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212144 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:03:12 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1212144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I actually cut the Etsy orders off on 10/31 because they take 2 weeks to get to me from the manufacturer, then I need to put them together and ship. Its been a TON of work, but I think it will still be considered profitable.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about your fight with your husband :( I think whats done is done for this cycle, hopefully it will work and you won't have to worry about whats next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212132 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:55:29 +0000 Happygal 1212132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: that an is intense schedule! It sounds like you can pull it off though. I'm sorry again about how things happened today, but I'm glad you have a good plan in place.</p> <p>@faithfertility: cramps could be a very good thing. Will you be POAS on the 18th? Are you keeping busy this TWW?</p> <p>@mrs.someone: excellent move forward! Sounds like good vibes from the perio--looking forward to hearing what they have to say. Are you still making getting lots of Etsy orders? What ice cream will you be eating? </p> <p>I believe I'm in the TWW now. It was a surprise--I went in Sat. morning and left with them saying I may do the trigger that night or Sunday morning. The message they left for me on Sat. afternoon was to take the trigger right then! I was out in the country with friends, so I had to drive back in to take the big 'ole shot. Then it was an explosive fight with my husband. He has weird ideas about IUIs and had finally made up his mind on that day that he wasn't going to do it. We fight about stupid stuff, but this was our first big fight about a serious matter. So getting over being really mad with each other in order to have TI was not an easy task. I'm not feeling positive about this TWW--I might feel differently had we done the IUI. Is that bad? Can I positively wish myself pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212064 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:14:29 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1212064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Wow, what a crazy plan! You at least live near the airport, right? Maybe you can convince him to just pack a carry on? Or lets just hope you get that +OPK earlier :)</p> <p>@Happygal: I saw you're now in the TWW! Definitely doesn't sound like lazy ovaries :) How is your lining doing?</p> <p>I had a good appointment with my ND today. I gave her the latest bloodwork from the RE and she explained it to me and suggested a few things. I still can't believe that the RE just ignored it. Also, the ND thinks its a great idea to go see the perionatologist, so she signed my referral and sent off my records. </p> <p>I already love the perio's office. They called almost right away and even remembered me from my call last week. That appointment is on Tuesday. </p> <p>I also have an appointment with my nutritionist tomorrow to hopefully start adding some things back into my diet (hello, ice cream!)</p> <p>And on top of this all, work is beyond slammed. I'd love to fast forward to December... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/4#post-1212052 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:06:55 +0000 FaithFertility 1212052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Doing good had bad sharp pains today at 10DPIUI...doubt it was implantation cramping I don't think they would hurt that bad?!?!?! But feeling good, Nov 18th baby come soon enough...lol</p> <p>How are thinhs w/ you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1212043 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:59:53 +0000 FaithFertility 1212043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: it is day to day for me, one day I'll feel positive as punch and the next think no way...........such a rollercoaster!</p> <p>I spent my day having stabbing like pains in my lower left stomach area.....I truly don't think impalntation feels that bad!??!!??!?! Some one correct me if I'm wrong ;) and now it's over.....soo weird!</p> <p> I think you and DH are doing great, keep plugging along and know that when it works it will be ALL WORTH IT :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1212018 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:34:01 +0000 BSB 1212018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Yeah, I was thinking this morning that we always have to have that feeling of doubt at every cycle. We can never be 100% confident that we are going to get pregnant. As much as I wanted to be positive and hopeful that this was my cycle, I couldn't. I knew there was a chance that it wouldn't. So, yeah, I'm disappointed and sad but upset? Not now, not today. Tomorrow or the next day is probably when those feelings will set in. </p> <p>Scheduled my CD3 blood work, CD 14 ultrasound, and CD15 IUI. DH is leaving for a trip on the day that we will plan the IUI. His flight leaves at 8:35a. He will have to drop off his ''deposit' at 7am, then I will drop him off at the airport to make his flight. We will go to the airport at 5:30 am to get his boarding pass and check in his bag. It's a tad ambious but I think he can do it. Although, if I get a + OPK before day 14, we can schedule the IUI earlier and not have to do this crazy multi-trip to the airport. I have a plan in place if we need to do it. :/ Things we do to make a baby. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1211966 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:56:31 +0000 FaithFertility 1211966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I'm sorry, you feel numb I think we have all been there a time or two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1211897 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:19:40 +0000 BSB 1211897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Sad. Not upset. When I went to buy the FRER this morning, the cramping was pretty bad and I was wondering if the cramps were AF cramps. I hesitated for a second when I went to buy them, wondering if it was going to be a waste. </p> <p>I'm kinda numb to it all, right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1211799 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:42:11 +0000 Happygal 1211799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nachos were good, everyone. :wink: </p> <p>How is everyone doing? @Bluestriped Bee: how are you spirits after AF showing up today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1206350 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:02:31 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1206350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: so are the progesterone suppositories. I don't know why they're call supp. when they're taken vaginally! </p> <p>I'm getting the trigger shot again this month, unless I surge on my own. This'll be a fun TWW.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1206273 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 20:20:09 +0000 FaithFertility 1206273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: it def isn't easy, but if you can laugh it off later and DH knows how to be supportive during it all took will be ok :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1206268 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 20:15:45 +0000 FaithFertility 1206268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Crinone is taking vaginally...sorry TMI ;)<br /> It just gives me bad PMS like systems, bloating, breakouts, soar full breasts....... so I can't symptom spot.....lol because I don't know if it's the meds or being PG :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205916 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:51:08 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1205916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: me and Josh completely understand and feel your pain. But to be fair, floors can be shady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205909 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:42:45 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1205909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: last month I was a bloated, painful mess. Day 3 over here and I'm just bitchy on a higher level than normal. </p> <p>Seriously. THE FLOOR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205904 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:34:34 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1205904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ive heard that before. Clomid doesn't get me anywhere near the level provera does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205903 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:32:58 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1205903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: did you ever take progesterone suppositories? I was just prescribed 200mg. Worried about aide effects now?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205902 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:32:19 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1205902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: we had a fight this morning over the floor.</p> <p>Your provera is my clomid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-117/page/3#post-1205855 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 10:27:44 +0000 SweetiePie 1205855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: @Mrs. Polish: See, this was another question I've had. I'm so worried about the side effects of fertility drugs that I'll take in preparation for IVF. I don't even know which ones I'll be on yet, but I am already a highly emotional person, even outside of ttc. When I was pregnant both times and then coming out of pregnancy with the miscarriages, I was legit batshit. Even now, dealing with all of my emotions over IVF is making me kinda scary. I'm really afraid of what extra hormones will do to me.<br /> @Mrs. Polish: The part about wondering why your husband wants to have a baby with you? This exactly! After some of my episodes I've said to him "are you sure you want to do this with me?" :wink: </p>
