Getting things started here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Tomorrow is my ultrasound so I'm trying to think positive. I'm trying to stay off the internet because I tend to think I have an internet degree in medicine. It was at this point (9 1/2 weeks) that I found out that the heart rate of my last baby was slow and I lost it about 1 1/2 weeks later. I'll keep you all posted.
 
Wendy hang in there. I'll be sending you healthy baby vibes today!!
I don't know if Im paranoid, but I just don't feel as pregnant now. I have energy, am hungry and I "think" my boobies are getting a little smaller and don't hurt near as bad. I go to the dr on Thursday, so if I hear a heartbeat with the doppler I will be VERY relieved and will allow myself to get excited a little. I just try not to worry right now..which is hard...as you know Wendy! Keep us posted.
Hi to everyone. I will check back in later.
 
Hi Everyone

Wendy, I didn't get to see your post until now, but I'll be praying to God that everything go on smoothly. Let's keep the faith up. I agree that sometimes is better to stay away from the internet and just lean on God and live one day at a time. HUGSSSS

Susan, everything is changing to better. I am glad you are finally feeling more energized and peaceful.

I haven't been posting lately. I went to the OB-Gyn yesterday and got my annual exam, I told her that I've been TTC for 3 months and all she asked was, Do you have your period every month and If I ever was on the pill (never been). She recommended BDing every other day instead of every day.
Well, AF is due this coming monday and I just want to wait until then to start testing. We'll see. My temps are high now but other than that no other symptoms

Hi to the rest of the girls
 
Wendy ~ I've been praying for you. You've been on my mind lately.

Susan ~ I'm keeping you in my prayers too.

Priscilla ~ I am hoping AF stays away this month. Your OB/Gyn didn't sound very helpful. Did he or she at least tell you how long to try before coming back? I always wonder how much teaching docs do. I did soooo much client education when I worked. Oh, I do have the Lauren Brooks DVD - the 1st one not the pregnancy one - and I really enjoy it.

Hi Bethany, Jen, Mel2, & Mel. How are you ladies?

I am in my 2ww. I'll try a test Saturday - that will be about 10 DPO. I felt so bad for my facialist - she emailed me and asked how my pregnancy was going? I emailed her after the m/c but she didn't get it. I've talked to her several times, but it has been my rescheduling or cancelling a facial, so no opportunity to really talk or discuss this sooner. April is going to be here soon, and I am hoping it won't be too emotional. Our baby wold have been born in April. In addition, it is the anniversary of my dad's and mom's deaths - which are still tough days for me even after the years have passed.

I'll do my best to make it back this week. ;)
 
Hi ladies! Not a whole lot to report. Still have all day nausea and queasiness which I am still thankful for although it does wear you down. I get tired of thinking about food and what I should eat or want to eat so I am just going with the flow. But no visits with the toilet yet. I am approx. 6 weeks this week. I worked out this weekend but nothing so far this week. Just tired and queasy and I just want to rest. My food choices haven't been that great either but oh well, at least I am eating.

Wendy- I have been thinking of you all day today. How was the ultrasound? Sending lots of strong heartbeat vibes your way!

Autumn- I tested at 10 DPO and got a super faint line but it also could be really early. I never thought I would be one to get a BFP at 10 DPO. I really hope this is it for you! Sending baby vibes your way! Good luck!

Priscilla- I agree about your OB not being very helpful, how frustrating! I hope you get good news this next week! I didn't have any symptoms either except metal taste in mouth at 10 DPO and some tugging in my uterus. My real symptoms didn't start until week 5. Sending you baby dust also!! Good luck!

Susan- It is sooo hard not to worry. I thought my bbs weren't as sore today and I wasn't nauseaous last night like I have been every night and it made me so nervous. You are nearing the end of the first trimester right? I think you are supposed to have more energy and not feel the "rot gut" that I am going through. I'm sure that everything is going well but I do totally understand needing that reassurance. Hang in there sweetie!

Hi to everyone else! Hope to see this board get busy again soon! I miss everyone!

Jen
 
Jen-good to see you! Glad to see you are doing good. Iknow how the queaisness can wear you down....but I promise it does get better. I thought I would never want anything healthy again..I lived off pasta and crackers for a few weeks. Now I acutally want fruit and veggies..so I am feeling better. I still cannot even smell coffee though..and it was my fav thing in the world! Have you been to the dr yet? I go tomorow..so I will keep you all posted.
Hi Atumn and Pricilla

Sorry about the all day nausea. Just take it easy. I know how hard it is when you are accustomed to working out but your body is very busy right now. :) I remember eating Gummi Savers for one week while pregnant with DS. Why didn't I crave and tolerate the good stuff? Nope, not me, gummi savers.

I tested positive 10 DPO with DD and DS. I was using the clinic tests though. So, I won't rule it out if it is (-) Saturday.

I go tomorow..so I will keep you all posted.

Oh, I will find time to stop by the thread for an update.

I really need to go. I have company arriving a a couple of hours and need to get some things done.

TTYL!
 
Susan- My first appointment is on April 2 with my OB and then he will probably schedule an ultrasound for the week after that. Good luck at your appointment! I can't wait to hear about it!

Autumn- Thanks for reminding me that my body is busy, I needed to hear that because I really can beat myself up mentally for not working out. Plus my hips and back ache so it helps to walk and then stretch but I don't even feel like doing that right now.
 
Sorry I didn't get to post sooner - my DD had to spend the night in the hospital for dehydration and low blood sugar from the flu.

Anyway, the ultrasound went great! The baby is measuring 9W1D which is exactly where I am and the heart rate was 188. I just laid there on the table and cried - I was just so scared there would be a problem. They did find cysts on both my ovaries but I'm just soo excited that baby is ok that I'll worry about that later.

Susan - Aren't you 12 weeks? I was looking forward to getting further along like you until you said that your chest is getting smaller;) Thanks - that's the last thing I need! Good luck Thursday.

Priscilla - I agree too about the doctors. I have a niece who has been trying to get pregnant and it casually came up last month when I saw her. She said she's been going to her obgyn for it for a while (also my dr.) and I gave her my TCOYF book and told her how to know when she's fertile, etc. I just found out today she's pregnant. If her Dr. would have educated her months ago she would have been spared alot of heartache. I think when I get the book back from her I'll give it to my OB/GYN! Ugggh! Didn't they learn this stuff in school? And you're totally right about leaning on God - Lord knows my worrying won't change any outcome for the better. Take care and good luck testing.

Autumn - Good luck.

Jen - Sorry to hear your not feeling well. If the nausea gets too bad don't be afraid to ask your MD for some antinausea meds - they are a godsend. And, isn't it crazy how food you used to find unappealing is now a must-have?

Hi Mel2!
 
I am so happy that your ultrasound went great Wendy! If the nausea gets any worse I will ask him at my first appointment on April 2. Thanks!

BBL!
 
Wendy-that is awesome news!!! Im so happy for you. I hope your dd is better..poor thing.
I am about to do LIS then my appt is at 11...will let you guys know how it goes.
 
Hi There - new to the thread

Just going to jump in and say hello to everyone. I confess I haven't had time to get fully caught up on everyone, but definitely will.
I am ttc. It hasn't been a long time, but it has been frustrating. This will be baby #1, which makes it worse because the whole world keeps asking me "when are you going to have a baby?"
Anyway, figured I'd join the group to give and hopefully receive some positive energy!
Happy Thursday!
 
Susan - Too sweet. I'm soo happy for you. Isn't it just the most incredible feeling to see that little one and gain some hope that everything WILL be ok? Give details, please....

Welcome Reena! When it comes to fertility this is the place to be. Everyone here is pretty knowledgeable in that department - (hope you like talking about cervical mucous:))
Here's my quick background so you don't have to read back posts. I'm a 33 yr. old Dental Hygienist, been married 11 years (w/DH for 17 years - yikes!) The rest is pretty much in my sig line.
Don't you hate it when people ask that question?
In your avatar, which one are you? just curious.
 
Wendy & Susan ~ I am just thrilled for you both !!! Y'all have made my day with the good news!!!

Welcome Reena! We met on the Twilight thread - I'm the Sookie & Eric fan :D.

Hi Jen~ You're welcome Jen. :) Your body is doing the most amazing thing at this moment and going through incredible changes. I know we hear and read it over and over, but you must listen to your body. I reminded myself of that numerous times through my pregnancies when I just couldn't DO everything I normally do. Please don't be hard on yourself, but I do know that can be a struggle.

A little about me ~ I'm 38, been married 19 years this May and w/DH 23 years this May, 2 kids (8 y/o DD & 4 y/o DS) here and 3 in heaven, SAHM, Women's Health NP in pre-SAHM days, NFP teacher. I've had difficulty TTC though the numbers don't reflect that per my last doctor :rolleyes:.

I think I'll go get an outdoor walk in before DD goes to dance. TTYL!
 
Hey!
Thanks for all your kind words. The dr said all looks great. He/she is about 2 inches long. I also had a pap smear..YUCK.. least I wont have that again for a year. Next visit will be bloodwork. I asked all about genetic testing etc. At my age I want to know my options.
Welcome Reena. I am 42. Married for 16 years and have one daugther, Haley 9.
Gotta start supper.
 
Wendy and Susan - how great to hear your ultrasounds went well!!! Susan, thanks for sharing a pic of your little one, you're right about it seeming more real. To physically SEE a pic is so cool.

Susan, did you say somewhere that you're going to Bradenton, FL? I live in Bradenton!

Autumn, just two more days until you test, right? I'll be thinking of you on Saturday - good luck!!

Jen, wow 6 weeks already. Great job on the workouts, sounds like you're keeping up very well with them.

I started taking FertilAid on Sunday. No side effects (positive or negative) yet that I've noticed. My temps are still wacky. I did have a very vivid dream about getting EWCM and BDing with DH last night though. I called the OB's office last week about birth control and they never called back so I'll just try and give the FertilAid a chance for the time being.

Priscilla, sorry about your OB's lack of help. I wish I had some advice, but I feel like I'm going through a similar situation!

Hi Melanie and Mel2!

Reena, welcome! It looks like you were at a RT, are you planning on going again? I'm going this year for the first time and couldn't be more excited!
