FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[BlissfulCS]

Blair- what a relief! And so glad you got to see and measure your little ones again.

[MamaBoo]

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I have been having morning, noon and night sickness. I did a long post yesterday, but the site ate it...of course. Family gets crazier by the day. Made two overnight trips to WV. One to see my Grandpa and one to attend his service. Will try to post more when I am not so sick.

mamaboo- I know exactly how you feel with the morning, noon, and night sickness. Aside from Zofran which for me doesnt get rid of the feeling, but just helps me function...I have found that eatting small snacks the entire day helps the most. Dont get me wrong though- sometimes I would rather throw up then force feed myself something.

blair ..... im glad your babies are doing good! your gonna be busy figuring out 3 names soon. not to mention a all the baby and nursery stuff times 3!!!! lol

well i went to the doc yesterday too. i got to see the baby heartbeat again and the baby wiggling all around. the re made me cough. she said the baby was sleeping and coughing would wake it up! well it did! good thing is she said at 8 weeks 3 days if you got the see the baby move the miscarrage rate dropped to 5% !!! so soon as our baby stated wiggling like a fish we were soo happy!!!!

cant wait till next week for u/s again!!!

Cherry- I was just wondering about you and how things were going. 3 babies will be a lot of work. When we went to the RE on Monday she told us that we should start thinking of names soon. DH laughed and said names are free and thats the least of our concerns right now. As long as we are having more than 1 sex we have had our names picked out for the past 3 years. We arent planning on telling anyone until the babies get here though. Im so glad your little one is doing well and was moving around for you. Im hoping at next wks appt ours all wiggling all over the place. I think I finally graduate from the RE after wednesday appt too- which is exciting.

[BlissfulCS]

Blair- we have our names picked out too! Only I shared mine so my sisters know they are OFF LIMITS.

Thinking of you all. Things are crazy busy right now and sometimes I forget I'm in the 2ww.

My embies are 6 days old so they should be getting cozy tonight. I have a feeling my lining is perect for them. Feeling great!!!

Have to laugh. I am a die hard hot tubber and our tub has been out of commission for two months. Out of town for work tonight and just got an upgrade to the nicest of jacuzzi suites. Figures!!!! I stay here all the time and now that I cant use it bc its off limits due my babies they hook me up .

[WeHaveHope]

I tried posting a few times but my post was erased. I hope everyone is doing well.

WeHaveHope- How are things going with you? Hope all is well and things are moving along for you.

Bliss- How is the dreaded 2ww working out for you? Sending all those positive vibes to your little ones? When did you say you get to test? So excited for you!!

AFM- Hoping things are still going well inside. Still constantly sick but learning how to cope with it. Ive managed to eat actual meals the past 2 days which is a big improvement. Cant wait for our appt wed morning so that hopefully we can see all 3 doing well and moving all around in there. I believe they will be releasing me to an MD in town- I think maternal-fetal medicine since Im high risk but not sure which one though.

[WeHaveHope]

Blair-so happy to hear that all is well and that you are finally able to keep food down. Can't wait to hear your update on Wed.

AFM-I am still taking antibiotics twice daily and the Lupron injections 10 units every morning. I am also up to 2 Estrogen patches. Will be moving to 3 patches then finally 4 patches. I am feeling a little better with the exception of joint pain. I read this was due to the Estrogen patches. Things are moving along. My next appointment is on Friday, May 20th. If all goes well I should receive confirmation for FET on May 25th.

EOE-I am sending lots od PMA your way. God knows we all need it.

[BlissfulCS]

Wehavehope- it won't be long!!! I am so positive about this one for you and can't wait until you get your BFP. I seriously have a really good feeling for you.

Cherry- congrats on your wiggly little one.

Blair- I am sure those babies are doing just fine, which is why you are so sick! Small price to pay. Excited for your next appointment.The 2ww is going splendidly in one regard, I am not obsessing over anything because I am now away at school and class went from 8 to 6 today. I haven't had much time to think about it. On the other hand, this cycle is the text book example of what NOT to do in the 2ww. If it works this time I am going to debunk a lot of the common advice out there. Let's see:

- Don't sunbathe (and surely don't get a sunburn). Oops!
- Don't take baths. Yep, I broke down and took a warm (not hot) bath on that business trip with the nice jacuzzi upgrade.
- Don't lift heavy items. I carted around a 70 pound oversized suitcase for a full day while traveling to school in South Carolina. I even had to carry the darn thing up a flight of stairs. You can't pack light for a 2 week trip. Not possible!
- Don't stress. Hmmm... Trying to get out of town for two weeks and wrap everything up was insane!
-Get a lot of sleep. Uhhhh... hello? I was in an accounting class at 8AM on a Sunday morning after traveling at 5AM until 5PM yesterday. I've averaged about 5 hours a night for several days now. Going to get my full 8 tonight though!

Still, I am in better spirits than ever. Maybe just relaxing and doing what I normally do will be good for me. Heck, women get pregnant all the time and don't know it for weeks while they take baths and do all kinds of crazy stuff.

I still have ZERO symptoms (no more nausea). Not even sore breasts. Every other time I have had symptoms, but they cut my progesterone and estrogen in half this cycle. I am loving being symptom free actually. I consider it a good sign since I had symptoms in all my BFNs. Whatever. Change is good, I'm thinking.

Beta is on Thursday but all the mucky mucks from my bank (and nearly every other bank in the country) are coming to town to take their students out for "Bank Dinner Night" that night. Like I said on the other board...I don't want to end up drunk and crying all over the Head of Retail if by some amazing chance its negative, so I am asking the clinic to wait until Friday to call me with the results.

What a crazy 2ww, huh??? They're all crazy in their own way.

Thinking of you all and ready for Friday.

Baby dust,

Bliss

I just realized I took the estrace to long. I'm 10 weeks today and was suppose to stop at 8 weeks. I thought I was to stop at 10. Is this going to cause a problem. By the way all is well with me. I hope it's the same with you all.

[Sunshine1576]

Bliss,
You sounds super busy that Friday will certainly be here before you know it! We are ttc naturally this month and dying to poas but I think "not knowing" gives us some hope that everything will happen when the moment is right. This feeling is like that birthday gift all wrapped up but you have to wait until your actual day before you can open it up, it's like having excitement in the air! So wait until Friday if you can and as for now enjoy the corporate dinner party!
Cheers with gingerale-

Is estrace your estrogen support? If so, I was told to stop mine at 12 weeks. I don't think it hurts to take it longer. The important thing is to take it long enough.

[BlissfulCS]

Blair- thinking of you and hoping everything went well today with the u/s. Its not like you to be quiet, so I am concerned. I am sure you are just still in shock from how great a day it way. PMA for you...

xoxo,

Bliss

[skatiedrew]

Thanks for your reply. I haven't been on the board for a while. Blair I forgot your u/s was scheduled the same time as mine. I hope things went well for you.
