babyfever - good news that blood tests were all fine, and great to hear that your doctor is being proactive with your luteal phase. I have never used either drug but may here have and will be able to offer you advice
Jen - thank you for your lovely kind words and for not saying "eeeewww"!! I had a lovely catch up with my Dad - didn't actually have dinner in the end but a few drinks and lots of chats and a big hug. I am so sorry to hear that AF arrived but as usual you have your chin up and are being an absolute trooper. Might need to borrow some of your trooper vibes for a while, am a bit depleted at the moment!
KL - thanks for thinking of me as well and for not saying "eeeeww" too! Glad to hear you managed to bd when you were o'ing and lol at dh announcing it to everyone and lol also at you falling asleep with an elevated butt and the light on!!
Angel - thanks also for thinking of me and glad to hear that Imaginary Jen and Krystie were able to lend their support to you at your appt!
AFM - having a low day today. Have been feeling really strong lately and while not exactly hopeful just feeling like I was happy to let the days go by until I felt better. Today for no apparent reason I woke up with a really heavy feeling over me. I went to work, sat down at my desk, felt very shaky and started bawling my eyes out! I couldn't stop, eventually had to go speak to my boss who was very understanding and have now come home. I have no idea why this happened today and feeling like I have taken one step forward and two steps back. I am heading over to a friend's house this afternoon who is brilliant support but just feeling blah. I just want to start feeling like myself again. I know it takes time but today just really took me by surprise - feel like my emotions have tricked me iykwim?
Am heading to the doctor tomorrow and might have a conversation about anti-depressants as it really did feel like a brain chemistry thing today.... has anyone had to take these before? Any tips/advice most welcome...
Jen - Hmmm, maybe you are right... it's possibly more of a whipping feeling that a samurai slicing feeling... Let's hope one of the little deviants whips its way into that eggy, then the rest of them can whip the egg all the way to my uterus!
Got my wig today. So quick! I tried it briefly, but don't think I was doing a very good job of putting it on, especially as I had all my own hair hanging everywhere. I need to work out how to fix the style a bit too. Too much work! I just wanted it to magically look great!
Angel - I read your blog and hmmm very good.. yes very good... shouldnt be a problem.. hmmm very good I remember that both times I had an internal with my obs he apologised as the probe went in! LOL! I thought it was pretty sweet that he obviously thoguht about the womans feelings despite the fact that it's probably pretty routine for him.
And just remember, it only takes 1 freestyler to win the race. Who cares if the rest of the swimmers can't even tread water
Smi - Lol at your DS being popular! I'm so glad he is enjoying school!
Mollycat - Morning person?! Wow, I can;t even imagine being a morning person. I just loooooove my sleep-ins whenever I can get them! I prefer to imagine that anything before 7am doesn't exist.
Babyfever - I had about 25 needles in me yesterday! One in my leg actually made my foot go tingly for a few seconds. Weird.
Jenushka - Oh sweetness, super mega dooper huge hugs coming your way. The worst thing about "internet friends" is that you can't just scoop someone up in your arms and hug them for real I'm glad your boss was so understanding, because I think the best thing for you to do is ride you emotional waves and let them take you wherever they want for the time being. But definitely have a chat to your doctor. I hope your friend gives you the support you need. We're all here for you
Krystie - don't get me wrong - i love a sleep in too, (usually saturday morning), but DH is usually up and about and off to work by 6.30 so cause i'm awake i'm up too. I've just started walking again, so the dog and I are up at 6am (or thereabouts). First child is usually in my door by 7.30am (somedays) or 8 -9am (others). I can't lie in bed once i'm awake. Guess it goes back to school days (many, many, many years ago) when I was on the bus at 7.30am to get to school by 9am (hour bus trip or so in those days). I'm a bit of a nanna and in bed early usually every evening.
Rachel - sounds like your having fun. So, no AF - does that mean you don't have the tests or you're getting BFN's? Enjoy the rest of your holiday and we'll "see" you in a few days.
Jenushka so glad that your boss is understanding and you've got someone you can lean on. They make all the difference.
Just want to let you know I am doing ok and just waiting for AF (was spot on four weeks the last two times, but is taking a bit longer this time around).
When AF comes I promise to be back on here full-force. I have also been invited by the lovely TTC after recurrent MC thread, but I think I am in denial.
Had my first accupuncture today and was really impressed. The lady included a massage so it was a much better experience than I anticipated.
Our tests have all come back so far as normal (though I have a "double-gene for MTHFR" which is apparently linked to, but not responsible for, MC). I am already taking a mega-dose of folate which I think is what they usually recommend so I think I have that one covered.
Going away for the weekend. Just wanted to check in on y'all
Firstly, jen, do you want me to get all Hulk-stylee on AF's ass? You know I'm terrifying right? Like a tiny little scary spitfire of RAGE! Say the word and my ka-ra-te skills can be unleashed!
Jenushka: I am the antidepressant QUEEN! Changed my life, honestly. Although I have to take them for reasons other than depression, I think it is always a good thing to look at all your options. And realise that they're not a quick fix and sometimes you have to try LOADS of different types before you find one that fits. Always worth looking into, though! Big
Ruthie: big to you too hon. I know just how you're feeling. In fact, I've booked in for another u/s this afternoon just to put my mind at ease (was my GP's suggestion as I've been having dark brown goo stuff). Just relax hon and keep chatting to your little one. I do that too!!
Smi: Glad you're doing well, hon. You're one strong cookie!! I hope you're still going to stick around with us though!!!!
AFM: nausea is a b*tch. Have had to give up work as my energy levels are sub zero and I work next to both a kebab store, a burger joint and a pizza shop (eek, makes me feel worse just typing it) and the smell is totally unbearable. DH is upset that we only have one income for now, but he's understnding and happy that at least m/s isn't as bad as with Lilah. Trying to keep down all the water they're making me drink before this u/s, which is difficult, but at least I'll get to see my little one again. Yay!! Will let you all know how it goes.
Me again!
Just got back from the u/s and all is good!! Button is 13.5mm long now (up from 5.5 last week) and the little heartbeat is 167 (up from 127). You could clearly see two chambers and everything. FAR more relaxed now, but think I may need a nap. Love to you all!!!!
smi--Glad your DS is enjoying high school! When I ask my DS about school, all I get is "it's fine", or "I don't know".... he's such a bundle of information nowadays! I wholeheartedly agree--Teenagers! You don't even need to say more than that! lol...
mollycat--That's funny... you're saying "many, many, many years ago" about riding on the bus... that's the true test of how old you are.... you know you're old when you have to say something like "back in my day they didn't even have the bus... I had to walk to school for 2 miles in the snow...." You took the bus, so see, you're not as much of a nana as you think!
:woot: for O pains!!! I'm praying you'll have a successful O without the meds!
Ruthie--Aww, hon, hope your back pain/cramps go away soon! Take care of yourself! Sending lots of
Rachel--You're still typing quite well... I think you need another drink! Have one for me! Hope you enjoy the remainder of your trip, sounds like you're having a blast! Be safe!
mollycat--How's that O coming along? Feeling like it's a good month??? I'm keeping my for you! How's it going with the remodel?
smilanatu-- That's no good! Maybe you need some new toys! lol... Almost Friday!! Woo Hoo!! Got any plans for the weekend?
Hey Easha-- How's the plodding coming along?
jenushka--Hey hon, how's the job hunt going for DH? Did you get in to talk to your doc about the antidepressants? I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide... don't forget we're here if you need us--for whatever reason... a cry... a vent... for advice... you name it, and we'll do whatever you need!
Hi's and to Chappas, megsmum, joey, WTH, tempus, babbs, and Sandygirl
Van & issy--Always thinking of you both! This place just isn't the same without you girls! Hugs...
tut--Bellyrubs and Saw you introduced yourself in the PAML thread--good job and congrats!
for our other BFP's : fifi, larz, pbstar, tina, plc, AJC, and Katiegirl
