It was hard enough for me to be apart from him for months at a time, so my heart goes out to support you right now. How are you doing? |
Wtf is this dip in my chart? it can't possibly be O this early! that would give me a 22 day cycle (if unsuccessful) which is completely unheard of for me. then again last month FF told me i had an 8 day lp apart from my usual 12.
). I just noticed that you listed stuffy nose for several days during the last week. Is it possible your high temps were from being sick?
: I'm thinking about you, you preggo. 
hehe... I talked to the nurse this morning bc my husband was telling me I had to stop working out (I only go on the elliptical or bike for 45 minutes a day). He said he heard that it causes miscarriage. Of course everything I have read said it's fine especially if you are used to it but I wanted to be sure. I have been taking it down a notch since my BFP, going about 2/3 what my intensity used to be. The nurse said that it is encouraged to continue and to listen to your body, drink plenty of water, and slow down if you need to. She also confirmed that most mcs are chromosonal problems and are usually beyond our control. I think that made me feel better. I would hate to think I caused things!! It's weird I thought it would be hard to stop drinking wine with dinner and coffee in the mornings but it's quite easy. I just did not want to give up the reading time at the gym (I read a novel a week there! hahaha).
Me too. 
But I guess I am feeling ok with things right now, I mean, I feel positive about this cycle, and I'm looking straight into a beautiful summer vacation, and I have a lot in my life. I'm really trying to relax about it. It's kinda neat to "relive" the beginning wonders of a first pregnancy through you, and to help you trust in it. You are way, way more likely to have a healthy, full term pregnancy than anything else. I think being on forums like this can sometimes sway our experience of that, because we are exposed to so many losses as this is a place to seek support after one. I think reality is, it's possible, but not likely and you should assume the best, honey. That's what I'll try to do when I get another little sprout in me. 
: Keep believing! 
Bummer... On to month 7. I made a doctor appt for my annual pap (which is overdue) and another appt on June 22nd for a family planning visit. It would be nice to know if there was something wrong with me that could be keeping me from conceiving. I know, up to a year is considered normal, but still, it makes me wonder if there's another reason why it isn't happening.
I keep having to remind myself of that. My MIL told me that she was shocked we were pregnant bc she thought we were not even trying. Then she said that her younger kids think its funny that her baby (1.5 year old) is going to be an uncle at 2. And I am thinking, ummm isn't it more odd that you had a kid at 45 after your oldest son is 26??? She desperately wants me to tell everyone in her family and uses my DH's cousin as an example who told people at 12 weeks! Ummmm she does not seem to grasp that I am 4 weeks along, NOT 12 weeks. I think I am more afraid of loss bc of this site, but I also appreciate getting pregnant more bc of it as well. My MIL just sometimes jokes about how fertile she is. That is why I did not want to say anything to her about TTC. I was afraid it would take a long time and I would be embarrased.. How dumb is that?
: I am glad, and hope that she gets the heavy part over with before the beach. I would hate to have a heavy flow at the beach.
