Melanie!! Glad to hear you had a nice time. The weather here was absolutely goregous over the weekend, I hope you got to enjoy some of it.
Jen, how're you doing?? How many DPO are you now? That's so cool how you got a positive result at 10 DPO, I didn't know that was possible (though I don't know a lot)
Wendy and Susan, how are things going for you ladies?
Autumn, I hope everyone is healthy in your home. Did AF arrive yet?
Priscilla, where are you in your cycle?
Mel2, are you feeling like yourself again?
I have a question maybe Jen or Autumn or anyone else would know...I just started charting my temps a few days ago. I had a bleed from the progesterone on 2-17 so that is day 1 of my cycle. I'm pretty positive I didn't ovulate though my CM dried up a little in the last few days. My temps are hovering around 97 deg which seems low to me...if I DID ovulate, wouldn't the temps be higher than that? Then again, I have no clue what my temps normally are bc I just started taking them a few days ago.

Hey gang! I just took a 4 hour nap with my wee-ones!!! Wow! I knew we were exhausted....I wanted to workout so badly....I just don't think I'm going to get it in today though.
Urgh!!!! I just wrote a whole bunch of stuff & Justin just deleted it! URGH!!!
for Melanie#2. I've read through your posts last week concerning your pregnancy journal. Everyone mourns so differently after a miscarriage/loss. For me my instinct was to try to forget that the pregnancy had even happened...let alone there was a death. I had a good friend who helped me embrace the pregnancy & loss of my angel....so my healing could start. Anyways,....have you considered keeping your pregnany journal for your lost angel? You could journal how you felt when you lost her/him....how much your loved them....despite never being able to hold them in your arms....and anything else you feel?
as suspected, we had an itsy room at Disney....therefore, ZERO intimacy for NINE days!!!!! We've been pretty active, so this has felt like withdrawal of sorts.

Hi everyone,
No news so far...
Bethany, I recently started charting temps as well, I'm currently CD 11 and started charting after CD 5. So far, my temps have been anywhere from 96.9 to 97.2. I am starting to undertand all this myself, but I think that after O your temps will remain higher and then drops down during AF. I read that it is important to learn your baseline temps and the way to do that is by charting few months, and then go back to the 6 days before the thermal shift to have an estimate. I may be wrong, if anyone can jump in, please do!
Melanie, so glad to hear from you. I bet you had a lot of fun even without any intimacy.

Hi everyone!
Welcome home Melanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jen, Susan, & Wendy ~ hope you are doing well.
Hi Priscilla!
Bethany ~ I had a BFP at 10 DPO with DD and DS. Yes, 97 is low, and I suspect you didn't ovulate. Priscilla is correct, your temp will elevate at least 0.4' (this does vary by source) and remain elevated until AF or sometimes even after AF arrives. Your temps will be much more helpful after you gather some baseline temps.
Lets see..... I am finally over the flu and so is my family. AF just finished her visit so on to a new cycle. I am back to STS this week but am starting to miss my kbells. Guess that is it from here. I look forward to some updates.

Priscilla and Autumn, thanks for your responses. I have a feeling that I won't ovulate even though my OB said that the progesterone was supposed to start my cycles again. So I have the dilemma of waiting a few more months to see if my cycles will start again, then likely having to take the BC, or taking the BC for a few months now (just knowing that I won't be fertile for SURE during that time - obviously). I honestly don't know what to do. Are there any additonal choices or things I could be doing?? I never thought that it would take so long for AF to return after having a baby and nursing for only 6 months. It's gotta return sometime, right?
How is everyone doing???

Hi everyone! Little bean and I are doing fine so far. I still really don't believe I am pregnant but the gas I have been having makes me suspect otherwise. My stomach felt icky yesterday but has been just gassy today. And I am super tired. I'm having reservations about calling my doctor and I think I will wait until I am at least 6 weeks to call and schedule my first appointment. I don't want to put myself through the stress of the HCG numbers and if we do see something on an ultrasound or if we don't.
Bethany- I am sorry AF still hasn't returned and that you think you aren't ovulating. It can be so frustrating when your body isn't doing what you want. I'm sorry but I don't have any input as to what you can do to but I am giving you BIG BIG HUGS! I am now 14 DPO. I didn't expect to get my BFP so early. I just tested on a whim; I have never tested that early before!
Melanie- I'm glad you had a great time at Disney World. How come you didn't call me to workout??
Hi to everyone else! Anyone heard from Susan? I just wondering how she was doing...
Also, I want to ask the question again...are you ladies ok with me staying in here even though I am not TTC. I feel very comfortable in here plus I feel like you understand more than anyone about my new fears with this pregnancy after a m/c.

Hey Ladies,
Jen-I havent been posting much due to the same reason. I surely don't want anyone to feel uncomfortalbe for me posting here about my pregnancy. Im glad you are still doing good. I don't blame you for waiting to call the dr. Unless they put you on prog there is nothing they can do besides check levels and that would just drive you crazy. Hang in there! I know what youre feeling.
Melanie-welcome back. I have missed your posts.
Atumn-glad you are well and now you can start baby making again.
Wendy-how was Disney. Hope you are feeling well.
Pricilla, Bethany and Mel 2 HI
I am 9 weeks now. Up until the weekend I was feeling pretty queasy all the time. Yesterday and today have been better and more things sound good to eat. No weight gain yet....YET!
I go back to the dr on the 26th..I"ll bee 11 weeks then. Im just taking it day by day.

Ok so I feel like such a slacker. I was hit last night with total exhaustion and didn't work out. And I have plans the next three nights so I don't know if I will fit a work out in. I am doing an MS walk Saturday so that will be a light cardio and then I will try to do weights that day. I feel so bloated already and usually when I get a good workout in I feel better. Ugh! Sorry.....it's just you ladies understand.
Susan- I don't want to stress out over the levels so that is why I don't want to call. Another girl suggested that I still call and make an appointment but just refuse the blood work. Still not sure yet...I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Melanie- I hope you will continue to post with us! I've missed your funny posts about all the sex you are having.

Hi ya to everyone,
Jen and Susan -- I am so happy for you both and wish you healthy pregnancies! I know I have not been in this forum long, but it doesn't bother me that you gals post here. It gives me a feeling of hope. : )
Melanie -- Thank you so much for the encouragement. Actually, this past Monday, I sat down and finished the journal and put my pregnancy tests in a ziplock and into the journal. For me, it was a way to bring about a bit of closure.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Mel2-Thank you Mel, that means a lot to me. I feel very blessed to have gotten a BFP so quickly however I am still keeping my feelings/heart very cautiously hidden right now. Deep down I am excited but apprehensive. I am happy that you were able to bring some closure to your loss. I have been feeling a little bittersweet about my loss lately now that I am pregnant again. It's hard to describe. I know you will get your BFP again soon when you are ready!
Hi-
Thanks Mel2!! Im lookig forward to hearing about your bfp!
Jen-sorry you are so tired. I feel your pain! I manage to workout most days but after I am done for the day! Its an exhaustion I have never felt...overpowering! But its a good sign your little bean is growing. I am still not convinced this preg is for real?? Im still havent told everyone but probably will after my next appt at 11 weeks.
Hi to everyone!
Today I managed to do Jari's S&L. Yesterday I did a Leslie walk...at least I moved, right! Mostly I have been doing easy workouts like Firms, and LIS and Leslie. Im hoping when I feel better I can up it a bit.
I hope we will all be on the pregnancy journal together soon. It took me 2 years..so don't give up!!!!!

Susan and Jen, I'd miss you both if you left here! Part of the nature of TTC is, hopefully, that we will ALL be pregnant at some point. As far as the fatigue goes...ugh I remember that well. Sometimes I think I'm crazy for wanting to do it all over again so soon knowing how awful it was, BUT the end result far exceeds the journey, of course. Hopefully Susan you'll be coming out of it soon (Jen - you've got a little while).
So my patches of fertile-looking CM interspersed with drier days combined with low temps is leaving me feeling pretty hopeless about ovulating any time soon. I think I'll wait another week or so and then call the OB to see about getting on BC. I'm so not happy about doing that but my body just dosen't seem to be doing anything on its own. Or can I take another round of progeserone, would that be better/work?
Wendy, are you still out there? We haven't heard for you in a bit!

Bethany- before I had dd I was having problems with my period. I would get it maybe 3 times a year. Long story short...I got on the pill for about 6 months (which was miseralbe because I spotted just about everyday) anyway..after I got off the pill I had normal periods and got preg very quickly with dd.

Hi everyone. We're back from Disney and I'm exhausted(an understatement) and having all day nausea. I'd never been there before and let me just say it is not a place to go and rest. My DD would wake me up at 6:30 each morning and we'd go all day long. I think I had the worst bed ever and I just don't sleep well away from home. Then today I took my dad 3 hours away for his chemo and I'm ready to collapse now and my DD is still running with a full tank of gas.
Jen- Congrats. Don't feel bad, I haven't worked out for 1 1/2 weeks.
Everyone else - it's been a long day and I can't hardly keep my eyes open so I hope all is going well and I'll try to do personals later.

I agree with having sadness about pregos leaving TTC posts. Our roads have been paved with pain and our journey has not been straight....but we've all been in this together. Your fruitfulness gives hope to our wombs...

Susan, I'm thinking more and more that the BC is the way to go. If you don't mind sharing, do you know why you were only getting your period a few times/year? So how is sleeping at night going lately?
Autumn, I understand about not being in a place to give me medical advice. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what options I have so I am better informed. I'll call the OB's office next week and talk to them.
Wendy, glad to see you back! Sorry you had such an exhausting time. Hopefully you are able to catch up on some sleep this weekend!
Speaking of catching up on sleep...I'm headed to bed early tonight without a workout. I've been doing Cathe's March rotation and my knee is acting up again with the stepping so I'll lay off it today; however, I'm already worried about how I'll do on the RT with it!

Bethany ~ Please know that I know you aren't asking for medical advice but I just feel like I should explain my silence. I don't know your history and have never examined you and of course Susan is an example of a success story, but what is the rationale for the pill in your case?
