Hi everyone! I woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow! It is beautiful and keeps coming down.
Gigi1- how are you feeling? I know my body gets all out of whack when I am sick too. I think that is normal. I am so sorry that it means you have to wait out this cycle. I think it is great that you went in. Too often I keep going until I am really sick. and don't worry about CMV, although it is in the herpes family---it is estimated that almost 100% of adults have caught it at one time or another. That is just crazy! Anyways I hope you are starting to feel better.
Chez- so nice to have a getaway for BD! Did you get to a nice romantic hotel? So sorry it was a short trip..... and so annoying that the sticks you took with you were faulty. Sounds like your chances are good! My fingers and toes are crossed for you! I think it was a good call to delay your pap. I really hope this is the month for you hun!
Bubo- A very delayed welcome to our thread. I am so sorry to meet you this way, and I hope the TTC journey is short. I have found this thread EXTREMELY helpful and supportive---I hope you do too.
Dory- How are you feeling? I think it is great you are taking off of work. Taking care of yourself can be a full time job.....there is a book called "To Full Term: A Mother's Triumph Over Miscarriage" that is a personal story of a woman's successful pregnancy after her losses, and describes her bed rest. I loved the book and thought it might be some nice reading while you are relaxing if you want someone to relate to. I also want to say that this is also my favorite thread! I belong to a few others and none of them are as positive and supportive as this one---which really is what I need.
Blessedatlast- How are the many supplements and formula taking going? Are you still doing a food diary? Learning anything? Sometimes I feel like I should start doing that....might help me to learn lots about my eating habits....but I am too lazy I guess. How is this cycle going for you? O?
beata- After your post I broke down and used the last of my OPKs. They were nearing expiration, but helped me figure out that I at least had an LH surge and hopefully things work out. How are you?
So seeing my friends daughter was truly wonderful. I was so nervous, but it made me realize how much I want my own child and how much love there is in my heart for a baby. The hardest thing is that DH wouldn't hold her---I didn't quite realize it then, but he also didn't hold our son and later told me that the first baby he holds he wants to be our healthy crying baby. It just pulls at my heart strings.
On another note, we finally got a framed copy of the poem "Child of my heart" that we had commissioned to be written in calligraphy around our son's footprints. We both love it and feel that it completes out home.
AFM- I am on CD15, looks like I O yest or today (my temp hasn't increased as of this morning). DH and I are having lots of fun this month. I also added some other things to try and focus on me and being low stress and healthy-- I got a massage on Monday and one a week ago. I am trying to relax as much as possible. DH says that he thinks it is helping. He went and looked up tips for him to TTC and has implemented them into our 'routine'...I find this adorable. I love that he took the initiative--sometimes I forget he wants a bub as much as I do. I am hoping the stars are aligned this month and we get into that 25%!
