QOTW: Any secret confessions?

 

 

queenbone

Update: I had a great u/s this week.  I got to see the baby moving its arms around like crazy and the hr was 183.  The RE said that this means my m/c rate goes way down.  However today I have been super crampy all day, but no spotting.  So I'm freaking out a little but hopefully I'm just being over dramatic. right?

QOTW: I really want to go see the new Karate Kid movie.  Like, I'd pay money to see it in the theatre.  I'm so lame!

smbd

update:  I've been a bit MIA this week, b/c things haven't been good. I had a CVS done yesterday to try and see what we're in for so I should have some results by the middle of next weeks (fingers crossed).

qotw: I'm in love with the video monitor we got a couple weeks ago. I love actually watching DDs dance party every night instead of just hearing her crib slide out from against the wall.

jerseymomma

Update:  Tomorrow is beta day!!!!  I did get a BFP from a hpt but I'm still very excited and nervous for beta.  Hoping for a good number!

 Best of luck to all you ladies!!!!!

kellyloveszach

Update:  Next week is our consolation appt with the RE.  I am very excited.  I am not pg this month, feeling crampy and just waiting for AF. 

alchris

Best wishes, everyone!!!

Update:  I had a horrible experience calling my OB to schedule my first appt.  Oh well, it's set for next Wednesday morning.  My parents will be coming to visit together for the first time since DD was a month old -- they arrive Sunday night and leave Wednesday afternoon.  We'll be telling them about the pg.  (Next Friday we leave for 9 days in NY where we'll be telling DH's parents.)  My cold is finally much better but my m/s is just getting worse -- I've been so worthless and DH has been awesome.

QOTW:  We still have our Pac-N-Play in our family room for changing DD...and she'll be 2 1/2 tomorrow!

schoolsoutbride

Update: FET scheduled for 6/22 or so.

Can't think of any secret confessions...

sommerrayne

I'm still waiting for my period, shoulda been here yesterday and I felt really crampy but today, not. I was supposed to go in for a beta at 9 but missed it becaus emy child usually wakes at 730 and today - NINE! Weird but totally welcome and subsequently, I missed my appt. I'm waiting on a call back.

Secret Confessions? As much as I b*tch about my mom (and they're all valid) she's been awesomely helpful this trip. It came as a serious SHOCK. She painted for almost 3 days straight. She cleaned a ton of my new house. She's watched my kid. Its really just.....out of character but welcome. This has not come without the snide/mean remarks. The rude commentary about my husband, life, parenting style, etc. Her departured (after a 10 day visit) is coming tomorrow morning (VERY EARLY) and its very welcomed. I hate to feel like I want her to leave but I do. 10 days is excessively long for ANYONE to visit and I am stressed to the max!

wifey006

QOTW: My betas looked good last week so my RE said no need to repeat. I know that sounds logical but after all my losses I guess I need weekly reassurance. So (here's the confession part) I called my GP and asked for them to order bw for my betas and, voila, no questions, they did it! Betas more than doubled - woohooo! I guess I'm trying to hold out on my RE knowing how neurotic I get bc I plan to bug her for weekly u/s through week 12. That's when I'll pass all previous bad milestones.

Oh, please add my EDD 1/21/11

ladyowl10

Congrats to the new BFPs & good luck to those still waiting for answers.

Update: I am 13dpo...trying my hardest not to get my hopes up.

QOTW: I need to sit down and figure out bills and stuff but I will probably take a nap instead.

KellyOsu23

update: I only have 4 more weeks left as I will have a repeat c/s 2 weeks early. The nursery is done, everything is starting to come in place but I am getting nervous. I wont lie.

QOTW: 1. I cant stand to touch cotton balls, it makes me have goosebumps just thinking about it.

2. I buy all of Ashlyn's and Blake's clothes at garage sales and people think I spend a small fortune on their clothes since they only wear gymboree/gap/Ralph lauren. I am lucky to live in a great garage sale area

 

Houston2010

Update: Beta today was 866 12 days past transfer. We go back in on Tuesday so we are praying for doubling numbers.

 

hoping4more

Update: My body is crazy. Today will be my 5th and final day of Femara for this cycle (so usually CD7) but I started bleeding yesterday. RE thinks it may be from the estrace so instructed me for now to stop the estrace but continue the Femara/suppressants. I still go for a scan on Thursday next week so we'll see. 

I'm trying to be positive but I'm feeling like due to this rocky start to this cycle, my whole cycle will be a mess. 

Confessions: I still keep a lot of DD's stuff in hopes of another baby. She is almost 4, if I have another girl I will never need to buy clothes!

MrsT1209

Update: None.  Still on birth control pills.  Finally under the 2 week mark until surgery.

Confession:  While I could keep all of DD's things for the next child (hopefully), I am selling it ALL (except favorite clothes) in hopes of jinxing myself and getting pregnant.  DH feels it's well worth the celebration to buy all new things for a new baby. 

Tonya_G

Update: Baby girl is exactly 6 months today. Where did the time go?

QOTD: My house is a complete and utter mess. And I have no desire to clean it. I'm thinking that would love to hire someone to just clean it for me.

MandyMilller

Update: 8 dpo, 1st cycle of Clomid. I had a pretty significant temp drop today... so either an implantation dip, or a bad sign. The waiting kills me!!

 

hope4us

Update:  Still on BCP and Estrace til I have an U/S next Fri, then I will be starting inj for IVF.  I am hoping I don't have any road blocks this time.

QOTD:  I have two bags of things to return at Target and I go there like twice a week and I keep forgetting to take them.

franciscaz

Update:  Still overworked, underpaid, tired, but richly blessed w/my trio so how can I complain?  

QOTW:  Hmm... well lets see... This one is silly but I only wash my hair twice a week and I only put on eye makeup every other day.  I am so busy it is all my schedule really allows most of the time and the rest of the time I am lazy!

MrsMoher

I haven't been on here in a while, but we are getting ready to start our first IUI cycle (YAY!!!) so will be on much more frequently I am sure.  I started spotting yesterday, so AF will probably be here tomorrow or Thurs.  I am on Femera and will do the u/s to check follies at 11 or 12th day and doing the ovidrel (sp?) shot.  Little nervous about a shot at home, but I know I just need to suck it up, right? 

Hmm... secret confessions... a tiny irresponsible part of me just wants twins, because I want two more kids and I wouldn't have to worry about DH talking himself out of doing all this again.  But I realize they are more risky and for that reason I will be very happy with one.
