Fx it was just too early!

Thanks for the new thread anyalily, don't give up hope... you're still a couple days away! 

Hi to everyone else!! Hope you are all having a good week. It's been a crazy one for me... 

I still can't believe I'm saying this but I got a BFP on Sunday. 

It was CD30 for me, 14dpo? Last cycle was my mc, so I really wasn't expecting this so soon. I guess what they say may be true about being more fertile after mc. Naturally I am extremely nervous but hoping 3rd time is a charm. Also hoping all the B-vitamins & folate I've been taking since my MTHFR diagnosis are helping! I went to my OB right away, and per my request, he prescribed Lovenox and progesterone (Crinone 8%). He called today with my beta results - hcg 176 progestorone 27.9, so relieved!!!! This time last pregnancy my hcg was only 49. He said because it is so high it is up to me if I want to come up & check if doubling. I opted not to as to not stress myself any further. 

REALLY praying this baby sticks around for us... dare I say I have a good feeling???

Anya: Belly dancing sounds great!! Fingers crossed for u!

So today's the day.  Dd and I get on a plane to go back home for 4 months tonight.  I am so sad, I am going to miss Dh so much and Dd has been crying because she is going to miss him to.  I have so much to do today around the house to including finishing packing, vacuum, shampoo the carpets, sweep, mop, and scrub the bathrooms.  Dh is also taking me and Dd to dinner tonight at what is supposed to be one of the best burger places on the island, I can't wait for a good burger but I want to stay here!

[SparkleMaman]

Good luck John16n33! I hope your travels are uneventful and that you an DD have a fabulous time in TX with family. Hugs. It will fly by!

AF is here. Having a low key morning. A little sad.

[Dekan]

Same here :( Lets hope next month the wait ends! 

Quick question ladies: I'm trying to lose weight too, wanted to try hot yoga. Do you its safe to do hot yoga while TTC?

Thanks!

[mamaBlue]

Can I join you ladies? I'm waiting to O. Aside from papaBlue, it's a secret. It feels so good to be able to share my plans.

[SparkleMaman]

Anyalily and Dekan. I'm sorry AF found you. Fx that February is your month. I'm not sure about the hot yoga while TTC. I used to practice Bikram Yoga and can tell you it is intense. I used to leave class drenched, as though I'd been swimming with all my clothes on. I'd talk with the instructor.

AFM I'm 8 DPO and symptom spotting like mad! I've been queasy for 4 days now, since 5 DPO. I have bionic nose as well The scent sensitivity is crazy! Temps quite high, another rise this morning after yesterday's dip. I had a ridiculous amount of CM this morning, came in sort of a gush (TMI, I know!). I'm a little crampy, dull cramps, yesterday and today. Also exhausted. But my biggest sign is a non-sign. I usually have quite a lot of fibrocystic breast changes the week before AF, especially on one side, starting by 7 DPO. I have one cyst that prompted a mammogram (it was that easily felt and large). So far, nada. I know pregnancy improves or eliminates these changes. Hard not to read into but trying! Feeling really good this morning. So glad this TWW is in the home stretch!!

Lots of love and to all!!

[JustJenny]

anyalily & dekan-  So sorry af is there. I hope she leaves soon so you can re-focus on your next cycle. 

mamaBlue- Welcome  Hope your stay here is short and sweet!

Sparkle- Sounds promising!!  Hoping you get your bfp!

AFM- I'm 6 dpo and symptom spotting like crazy too. Had a temp dip yesterday- hoping its implantation. I feel slightly bloated and my breasts are fuller than normal. A little crampy last night too. That could all be due to the progesterone I'm taking though.  So for now I'm just 

[BeautifulCanvas]

I'm joining you anyalily and dekan.  A/F showed yesterday at 10DPO.  I'm not too devastated, but still feel a bit down.  I'll be taking a 6 month or so break to try to lose weight.  Baby dust to everyon else.  :)

[anyalily]

Dekan and BeautifulCanvas, boo!  

Dekan, I don't know about hot yoga... I usually stop going in the sauna right around O time, I don't think it would be good for a new little blastocyte/zygote to have all that heat.

BeautifulCanvas, are you going to hang out here at all - should I put you in waiting to be ready? Do you mind my asking what your weight loss goals are? I have been struggling with my weight too, and I think it may be why I am not conceiving... I hope that's it, because I can do something about that!

Welcome MamaBlue!

JustJenny and Sparkle, fingers crossed! Glad you are still in the running.

AFM... I think I'd better start charting to see if I am ovulating. I think I am... I feel a big shift right after the horniness and CM, and then I get big boobs and break out...

Please put me under Waiting to be Ready, because I do hope to come back here eventually.  I am extremely overweight and would like to come much, much closer to my goal weight.  I need to lose about 90 lbs.    I know I won't accomplish that in 6 months, but I can lose a bit and work towards losing the rest.  My weight has never impacted my fertility though and I conceived my youngest at just 4 lbs less than I weigh now.  I hope you can reach your goals and that you'll get your BFP soon.  {{ hugs }}

Hi ladies.  I just wanted to check  in and tell y'all that I made it to Texas okay.  We have had a busy few days visiting family and such and after complaining of a stomach ache since we were on the plane (the day before) Dd threw up everywhere last night :(  So we are having a lazy day resting around here and hoping she feels better before I leave to start student teaching in the morning.

[anyalily]

BeautifulCanvas, I bet you could make a serious dent in that in 6 months. Good luck!

Meagan, sorry to hear about the sick kiddo. That is the pits! Glad you have your family to help. Good luck tomorrow, happy teaching.

I hung out at a birthday party and got to hold a 2 month old while she slept. I have been smelling my arm since I got home! That baby smell is just too much and it is all over me! I walked into the playroom with her to show DD, and she rolled her eyes and said "she's too cute. Take her back to the living room." LOL
