Gtree- Crossing my fingers that the testing is great news and gives you what you need, as for the 3 times you had to be poked, not impressed… When I had energy surgery with my ectopic pregnancy they had to start a new IV after the ride in the ambulance in the ER, well after they gush 2 veins then tried both hands, finally a young nurse looks at the 2 dunces trying to prick me and stop them both and get it done with one try! I know, we all hate being the human pin cushion…
Chrissy- We so need a girls night and to be girly, so glad you were able to do that! I had one with my 4 besties on Friday night after the Thursday night from hell… {will fill you all in below}
SKJ- here we go, 2ww!!!
Indie- I hope all is well…
Bebe- Every pregnancy is different and you may not have any symptoms right away, I never did until I was over 12-14 days past O, hang in there… Keep us posted!
Tooth- Hope you got to do the sideways tango with Hubs when you still see EWCM! But you can extend that drink some green tea, or plenty of water, keep yourself hydrated and you should help that!
AFM- I'm in a much better mood today then last week. I found out the truth that I suspected for a while, SIL is in fact prego, 3 months {12 weeks 3 days} This is her 3rd in 3 years, she has a 2.75 y.o. son and a son that is 14 months old…. She is due March 1st, but she has never gone full term because of preeclampsia, she always gets Diabetes and has already gained close to 15 pounds, she is super unhealthy and looks about 7 months prego already….She made it to 36 weeks with her youngest and then 34 weeks with her first. So in the time I have been trying she has conceived 3 children, we it will be 3, but We started trying in September of 2009 but we were in no rush, then took it up a notch in November and really got things started, that's when my Nephew was born, then at his birthday party she announced her 2nd pregnancy - she was due in June… had him in may 20th…. Then she has the Birthday party for him on May 20th of this year and get pregnant the next month…. So she will have had 3 kids before I have 1… She also ONLY wants a girl but did say that even if this is a boy it's her last….her husband which is less then trilled about 3 kids, made it very clear at many family events… Said on FB: "baby #3 is on its way in march and a vasectomy!" HAHAHAHAHA
I had a really hard time with it and then yesterday just like clockwork it became facebook official! I hate that, I will NEVER announce on FB, if it gets out by someone else, so be it but I'm not doing it!
In other news, I'm going cold turkey this cycle and for cycles to come… I'm done with taking drugs, shooting myself with HCG and getting false positives, D.O.N.E. I'm taking the approach that Hubs and I will "make lots of coffee" {AKA BD? I think that's what you guys call it right?} I'm back to running, cycling and being myself, good Ole Clomid made all of my normal activities hard to do because of the dizzy spells and light show… Yeah I'm going to be okay. They have checked my levels and every time I'm fine, I'm 10X better on Clomid but for the most part I'm fine. I need to get the thought in my head that I can get pregnant, and I will and it will be different. Each time I miscarried it was very different reasons. I have to believe that it will happen for me. Soon.
My co-work said something profound to me, and she is one of the few non-loss or IF people I talk to that can say something to me and I can take it as advice and not insult. She said "you know I'm glad your SIL is pregnant now, because your baby needs to be the only one anyone is wondering about, and if she is pregnant, then it would take the spotlight away from your new baby! And we cannot have that, this little one knows they need to be the only one people are waiting for!" Not that I care, she does but it's true, I have been waiting 3 long years to make a child stick around for the fun hubs and I have, why would I want to "share" that with anyone other than Hubs and I, family, friends, etc - Not SIL who has made my journey hell - did I mention she has known her hubs for 4 years married for 3 and kids asap, she got pregnant for my wedding I swear it was just to be in the lime light-and have a reason for being 20 LB over weight- Oh and she was barely 8 weeks, and telling EVERYONE at my wedding…… I do not think it will be an issue, but if I got prego this fall it would be perfect, SIL would most likely deliver her baby in Mid to early February and I would be probably be just about due to tell people/no longer hide it…one can dream…. I wish that so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the long post, sorry if I missed anyone out there…. Thinking of you all…. xoxoxoxo
