TTC/ Miscarriage support Feb 17-22

Susan- I hope you feel better soon!

Bethany- I hope you have fun on your trip. I have never been to New Orleans but would love to go someday.

Autumn and Priscilla- I want STS also but I think my DH would remove my access to money if I bought it. I am hoping to borrow it from somebody so I can get some copies of it to try.

I am so relieved its Friday! This has been a rough week and I am ready for some downtime with DH and some nice long workouts! Hope you ladies have a great day!

Jen
 
Hi girls,
I think this is the worst head cold i have ever had...uggh!! THis too shall pass!!
Jen-enjoy your weekend!!
Hi Bethany, Wendy, Atumn and Pricilla.
 
Bethany ~ I am giggling about your DH. :) I tried to talk my DH into checking my cervix when I thought I was in labor. :D I didn't want to go to the hospital for a false alarm..... it was my OB nurse/WHNP ego talking I guess.

Priscilla ~ I am soooooo close to caving on CLX. The fantastic reviews aren't helping. I must stay away from VF and ya yas. I just am not in the mood for STS - I think. I will say I like the lower body workouts and may be using those in addition to whatever else I do. I find that Cathe knows how to provide a great lower body workout for the home exerciser or me at least- better than anyone else I've tried.

Susan ~ Get well soon. I am the same way about a stuffy nose especially at night.

Jen ~ Enjoy your downtime and have a great weekend!

I need to finish cleaning. My fridge looks great BTW! :D
 
Well the weekend is off to a great start! I had EWCM and my CP is HSO! So guess what happened after I got home from work??? Well, it wasn't a Cathe workout, that was for sure but it was close enough. ;) DH and I are off together all weekend so I am hoping we can catch that darn egg! Wish me luck!

Hey Autumn, Can I get you to come do my fridge too? :) It really isn't that bad but I usually have to be in the mood to clean it out. I usually try to scrub it down right before a big grocery run.

Susan-That stinks about your cold because you can't really take anything, can you? I'm sending lots of healthy vibes your way.

Hi to everyone else!
 
Hi!
Jen-Im sending you catchin the egg vibes!!! Have fun!
I can take benadryl and Sudafed and a few others. Most cold medicines just make my skin crawl and I can't sleep. I took some childrens benadryl a few mintues ago so Im hoping that helps. I just dropped Haley off at the lock-in and dh is gone until Sunday, so Im about to get in bed with the dog and watch some tv and hopefully sleep!!!
Hope everyone has a good night~~
Hi to everyone.
 
Soooooo sleepy! It's nuts here already. Bourbon street at 2 PM was shoulder to shoulder, so I can only imagine how it'll be tonight! We got in at 7:30AM and have been running all day, then came home (to my brother's) around 5PM, rested a bit, now getting ready to go out for the night. I did get a run in with my brother today, we did a quick 3.5 miles and it felt nice to get my legs moving after the plane ride.

Susan, I'm sorry to hear about your cold - those are the worst while preggo! I hope you can breathe easier soon! Do humidifiers help you at all?

Jen, YAY!!! How exciting that you were able to catch your fertile time! And it's the wknd so you can follow up on that for a couple more days!;)

I called my MIL not long ago and asked about how the baby was doing today...she's fine of course but keeps saying "mama" and looking for us each time she hears a beeping noise (our doors beep when we go in/out). I'm really enjoying spending this time with DH though, I think it's good for us.

Hi to everyone else - I have to get ready to go out now!:)
 
Hi everyone. I've had 4 shots so far and they hurt but worth it. My DH gives them to me. I just don't think I can bring myself to doing them myself. Besides, I think it's good for him to do it.

My bio. I'm 33. DH and I have been together for 17 years and married for 10. We have a DD who is 3 1/2 and 2 cats. I am a dental hygienist and my DH own a carpet/upholstery cleaning business.

I decided to finish STS mesocyle 1 next week then I'll put it on hold till after baby.

Susan - hope you feel better soon. My DH is just getting over it after about 1 1/2 weeks. Have a restful weekend.

Bethany - have fun on your trip. Are you planning a 1st bday party for your DD?

Jen- Don't you have other things to do besides being on your computer;)

Autumn - That's hilarious. My DH would have lost his lunch if I had asked him to check my cervix. I showed my DH my EWCM once and he asked my to NEVER do that again.

Priscilla - have a great weekend.
 
Hi girls!
Well, I wont ever take benadryl again. I tossed and turned all night. Cold medicines always effect me that way for some reason. DD had fun at the lock-in and now her friend is over playing for the day.
Im frustrated with my eating. I have lost weight and Im glad, but the foods I want now are nothing like I used to eat just 2 weeks ago. Instead of my protein pancake I used to crave for breakfast the only thing I even remotly want is toast with oj. And I used to NEVER eat pasta and now I want spagetti all the time. For lunch I had canned ravioli..and LOVED it...how gross is that???!! And my fav thing in the world, coffee, turns my stomach now. I don't really feel sick just kinda blah and nothing sounds good.
I hope thats a good sign that everything is going well. I go to the dr on Thursday at 9.

Wendy-I was accepted into dh school and was supposed to start this fall. If all goes well I will be going NEXT fall. When dd started school I worked part-time as an assistant and fell in love with the field. I cannot wait to start school. Any advice??
Bethany-have fun!!!
Jen-I know youre having fun!!
Pricilla-when can you test??
Atumn are you in the 2ww also?
 
Jen ~ LOL! Thank you for the invite to your fridge. ;) I am blowing baby dust your way. Good luck this weekend!

Bethany ~ Happy Birthday today!

Wendy ~ Your DH's request made me giggle. :D I assured my DH I could talk him through it...... so I tried to check it myself. :rolleyes::confused: My DH gave me my shots (Follistim & HCG), and I agree it is important to include them in the process of TTC and pregnancy.

Susan ~ What made you decide to wait on DH school? Pregnancy can really change the taste buds. I remember living on Gummy Savers for a week when I was pregnant with DS. :eek: Sorry you didn't sleep well. Yes, we are in the 2 ww. I'm sure I'll start testing any day now. :)
 
Atumn- I would start in August and my due date is Oct 16...so it bascially is possible to go this fall. Im tough, but not that tough. Oh good luck testing!!!
 
Autumn-I am going to clean out my fridge and freezer today now that you mentioned it! It's driving me crazy! Good luck on testing! I am blowing some baby dust back your way, you need it sooner than I do!

Wendy- I don't think my DH would give me shots. I guess if I really needed him to but I know for sure that he would NOT check CP. He asked one time how I know when "its time" to DTD and I started to explain about CM and he said "Stop, stop...I trust you." :) He even says that he is not going to be in the delivery room but I know he will....It's funny how we know them better sometimes than they know themselves.

Susan- I think your food aversions are a great sign that everything is going well. I'm sorry that you don't feel good but hopefully I will be in the same boat with you soon. (Fingers crossed)

Well I didn't temp today because we were up late ;) and it would throw my temps off so I'm not 100% that I O'd but I am pretty sure. We had two chances this weekend according to FF when I plug in fake temps so I am hoping it does the trick. I won't be testing until around March 7th. I don't know if I can wait that long.....

Did I ever mention that a bunch of us girls from work are going to New Kids on The Block concert? We are so goofy...it was our favorite band when we all were growing up (we are all in the same age bracket) and now we are making a girls night of it. One of the girls going is about 30 weeks pregnant so that should be a riot. And if I played my cards right I will be brand new pregnant at the concert. Just thought I would share.....

Anyhoo- better get some cleaning done. See ya!
 
Jen-Im hoping this is your month!! You girls will have fun at the concert!!
My appetite sure has changed. Today I have had a bran muffin and honey nut cheerios. Thats not too bad, but I usually eat oatmeal, egg whites and fruit, or something like that. The thought of that gags me big time now.
Oh and to top off my cold I woke up with a huge fever blister under my nose. I have looked a little online and there is nothing safe to take. I've just been putting alcohol on it to help dry it up. I am not a pretty sight today!
I did sleep good last night, finally!
DD wants me to Wii fitt with her.
Hi to everyone. Hope everyone is perky today
 
Hi Everyone-

Susan - Have you completed your prerequesites for DH or will you just take those classes next fall also? My advice - save everything. When you start studying for your board exams you want to have access to all your papers, etc. Where will you go to school? Do you have any college experience? I get what you mean about changing tastebuds but for me the biggest thing is that I'm TOTALLY exhausted!

Jen - my fingers are crossed for you!

Bethany - Happy Birthday!!

Hi to everyone else - I'm going to take a nap with DD now. Zzzzz.....
 
Wedny-I just finished all my pre-req. I had all of them but had to take all my scienes over since it had been so long. Came out with a 4.0 too. All I will have to do is dh cirriculum. Im one of those weirdos that loves school! Sorry you are so tired. I hate feeling! When do you go back to the dr?? I have been having a backache here and there today so Im not sure whats up with that.
I think I am reverting back to my childhood comfort foods. For lunch I had Speghettio's and Coke..thats the only thing that sounded good...and it actually was. I am still being real careful about my calories though..I don't want to go overboard.
Just been hanging out with Haley today. Dh will be home from camping in about an hour. Hi to everyone!
 
Hello

How is everyone doing?

Well, I've been patiently waiting. AF is due on the 27th, I haven't tested yet but I may tomorrow. Do you think is too early?? I've looking for spotting or any other S/S but I don't see or feel anything different.

Last night, we had a church cell. Afetr it ended, I started talking to the host, she has been trying to get pregnant for few months after she miscarried her 1st baby, I felt awesome telling her all the new tricks I've learned. It's impressive how many women (myself included until 2 months ago) never pay attention to the signs that you're own body is giving you. I explained about CM and few things from the book I got and she was really grateful.

Susan, I am glad that you got to sleep and rest last night. It seems like everything is right on track, all the craving etc..

Bethany, did you make it back from N.Oleans?

Wendy, It's funny how we are all related to the dental or medical field. I am an orthodontist that just graduated last year and ready to have a big family now...

Jen, I bet you'll be testing before, like i surely will too;). I am crossing fingers for you like the rest of us! Ahh, enjoy the concert!

Autumn, how are you doing? I been doing awful with my eating. I don't know what the heck is going on. I don't have problems working out but then I eat too many sweets. Bad,bad!
Where did you preorder Jari's w/o? I saw that Collage had the release day on March andthen changed to May. Amazon has it for May as well, Just wondering.

Well, I'll keep everybody posted when I test.
 
Autumn, any news for us yet? Hve you decided when you'll test?

Priscilla, many of the home tests will detect the preg. hormone 5 days before your missed period, but it's only 60something % accurate, I think. I'm like you in that I don't have problems working out, but sweets are another story.

Jen, hope this month was it for you! Too funny about the NKOTB - my SIL who we just visited in New Orleans wants to go sooooooo bad, she kept talking about it while we were there. Apparently the tickets are really expensive though.

Wendy, your DH sounds like a trooper for giving you the shots. I probably wouldn't be able to do it myself either. Hopefully your energy will be picking up soon!

Susan, food aversions are so strange, aren't they? I could only eat easy to digest/quick carbs. How do you like the Wii Fit? We tried it out at my brother's and it was fun - now DH is talking about getting one. I told him it's not a subsitute for working out though!:p

Any one going to try to sign up for the RT? I am, but I'll be at work seeing patients so unless I magically get a cancellation at 2PM I probably won't get in. I'd LOVE to go though, and hopefully I'll be pregnant by then!

My CM is back again, just like it was before. I'm thinking that it's a bad sign bc unchanging CM day after day would seem to indicate to me that I'm not fertile. That won't stop DH and I from trying anyway!;)

Have a great day everyone!
