Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

[kerpupples]

Actually since I sit at a computer all day for work the clinic gave me the OK to come in. They said if I have another bright red bleed I should probably take a day off. I am restricted from lifting DD for a week, which I'm not looking forward to since she LOOOOVES for mommy to pick her up.

Kerpupples- So glad everything was okay I wish I had family there, even if it was just to visit often! Love Colorado.

Maria- So glad you haven't had more bleeding or the brown blood.

[Ninde]

Hi ladies, im sorry I havnt been on the board, I was working all weekend. I hope I dont miss out on personals but please forgive me if I do.

Maria: how is your bleeding now and how is your nausea?

Ker: oh you must have been so scared, im really glad the scan shows all is ok. And congratulations - twins!!im back in ww tomorrow. 3lbs so far

Leora: im really sorry younhad such a rough time with the vouchers and your friend. And i totally get what you mean about having the right to chosen who you want around you.

Lyd: how are you?

Always angel: congratulations!!! That's great news:) when is your next beta?

Supergenius: how are you doing?

Gina: when will you start cycling?

Janis: hello i would definately talk to your re. If they rule out over stimming maybe its a kidney infection or something? They can be excruciating and pain can be in same area as varies

Adkelp: that sounds really good. Good luck with this cycle

Nicole: how are you - was today as busy?

Afm: had a good training session at 7 this morning. I had been annoyd with my trainer because he had me doing dead lifts on fri night and i told him I didnt want to continue with it becauseni could feel my hip give way but he insisted I continue. And so I spent the weekend with heat packs on my hip and back. So this morning I told him that unless he can work effectively with me around my injury then we need to stop because this isnt healing properly and im not shaping up like I should so its sort of lose-lose. He took it on board and hopefully he can come up with a prograame that is both effective and good but doesn't prolong the injury

Ninde- I'm not sure yet. It all depends on my Dh's retirement date, so this year or early next year. Only good thing at waiting is we continue to save up and I can learn even more and search around for clinics. Not to mention get healthy again. I HAVE to get going on that!!

Glad you told your trainer what you need from me. Pushing through injuries def isn't the best way to go. Hopefully he comes up with something that is less painful and benefits you all around.

Beta tomorrow!! Just git home and noticed slight bleeding!!!! Today was stressful so im hoping if i take it easy chug the water it will stop!! Will check in with re 2morrow if 2nite is ok!!! Ugh!!!!!

[bodie1011]

Amy - Yay more twins!! Congrats!! I'm sorry about the hematoma, though. So stressful. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy the rest of the way!

[Ninde]

Always: drink lots and im keeping everything crossed for you x

Ninde

[akdelp]

Ninde - Thanks! I hope so too.

Hi Ladies!
I had an adrenaline rush at work tonight from two customers spending an outrageous amount of money on Chico clothes!

AlwaysAngel, Sorry to hear about the slight bleeding, did Iit finally stop? I know it's worrysome, and only an ultrasound will give you peace of mind, but try to reflect on a positive note that so many experience bleeding and then go through a healthy pregnancy. x I've always wanted to ask could it possibly be from implantation bleeding? I'll be praying for beta tonight.

Ninde, It's awful that he kept on insisting especially after you told him what was going on with your injury. I hope your fitness trainer can come up with a much better training program catered to fit your personal health.

Kerpupples, it's about time! I've been waiting for this big moment to happen to you! Congratulations girl you so deserve it!

Leora, I'm interested to hear what the doctor will say too. Hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on what's going on tomorrow.

[blueeyedreamer]

Damn. My iPod crashed and I lost my whole post. Will try again tomorrow. Goodnight.

[leorira11]

Janis - I hope the pain is better and tomorrow's u/s shows lots of good sized follicles!

akdelp - I find that AF runs her usual course for me even after starting the oral estrogen for a FET. Maybe this is a good sign. We are flying to Barcelona (we live in Jerusalem Israel, so a 4 hour flight) and then taking a 9 night cruise through Spain and the Canary Islands yay! I put on the top country 40s instead of Adele. I love her voice, but most of her songs are sad or angry (or both!)

Amy (kerpupples) - Congrats! So exciting to see heartbeats, no? My RE never measured what the heartrate was, just said it was "good" (or "bad" at my 7wk scan with my first miscarriage). I bled really really heavily for a few hours at a time - twice at 6 wks, once at 8wks and again at 17wks. Everytime I was told to come in ASAP for an u/s - and then to rest afterwards.

Since Israel is such a small country, and you can't drive out of it (none of our neighbours are friendly ) and fast gas is SOOO expensive (about $7-8/gallon - again, none of our oil-rich neighbours are friendly! We have to import our oil from elsewhere) so people here make a big deal out of small trips. Jerusalem is landlocked, but Tel Aviv has a fantastic beach -- we drive up there all the time for the beach in the summer. People are shocked - "You're going to drive all the way to TA just to go to the beach???" To me, that's nuts. We used to drive 2hrs from Pittsburgh to Lake Erie for the beach - and that's not even the ocean! (well... this isn't the ocean too, but a pretty darn big sea!)

The longest road trip you can take here is from Eilat in the south to Haifa in the north - total of 6 hour drive. No one does that though! Driving east-west is a 2 hour drive at the widest part! Remember - Israel is smaller than New Jersey!

Maria - glad to hear the bleeding has stopped again. You get more used to it when you stop panicking that it's a miscarriage every 2 seconds, but it's still scary.

Patricia - working on the weekend? Sorry! Do you at least have different time off?

Gina - I hear ya on taking advantage of time not cycling to get healthier -- I keep swearing I'm going to do that! And now I'm sitting at work, eating cookies and hot chocolate for breakfast... oh well... but I am doing a Zumba class tonight, so that counts for something, right?

Lori - I hope your beta results are awesome. Of course, bleeding and a low beta are discouraging, but there is still plenty of hope for you!

Christy - time difference messed you up again, huh? My appts are tomorrow - ie Wednesday. So about Tuesday night at midnight your time. (btw, I've only shopped at a Chico's once - none around here! - but I loved it! I still wear the clothes I bought there. If I ever end up in your neck-o-the-woods, I'm going to go a shopping spree with you!)

Nicole - darn iPod! I always always always copy everything I've written before hitting 'submit' - this site is bug-y.

AFM - busy day today! Work, then a manicure with one friend, then coffee with a different friend, then Zumba with both of them!

I think I'm going to do the extra beta on Thursday - just to see where things stand.

I'm excited for my 2 appts in Tel Aviv tomorrow (RPL specialist and new IVF clinic) and for spending the day with David

[Alwaysangel]

Bleeding has seemed to stop last night!! Heading to do beta now...results early pm!!!

[WeHaveHope]

Alwaysangel-saying many prayers for a really good Beta today.

Hi everyone!

…OMG! Things are moving pretty fast here ladies!





Lyd-
Oh! Lydia! I am sorry about your loss honey but I am happy your other LO is doing great! Like others said, this must be a bittersweet situation and I cant begin to imagine how that feels I am sorry you had to go through this. This is so sad and unfair … I am going to pray this one is a winner and grows out to be a healthy happy baby ((HUGS))

Maria-
I am happy your pregnancy is doing well! It was about time for you honey! Keep up the good work! How are they other kids taking it? How’s your son doing? how are you feeling?


Alwaysangel-
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! That is fantastic! A positive beta! Is a positive beta my friend! and what a wonderful feeling that must be! I know that everyone is hopping to get high beta but taking it from a woman that has done 7 IVF’s so far and never seen a positive beta! so far….any number above 0 would be fine with me! I would take any positive number and be thrilled about it! ..but that’s just me…I wish you a sky high beta honey and a healthy pregnancy!

Libby-
Welcome to the most supportive group of people ever! And good luck into making your # 2 miracle!

Leora-
I hope your numbers are back to zero and you get to avoid having the hysteroscopy... Been there done that together with Labaroscopy and it aint a walk in the park. I still don't know if it was the combination of the too surgeries done together that made me feel uncomfortable and like shit after, but it did. Actually, when I had them back in Oct 2009, i had to take a week off from work because i couldn't even walk straight and my abdomen was SO bloatted I seriously looked like a 5-6months pregnant woman. It took a month for me to get back to normal... I don't know, maybe is diferent from one person to another. Good luck on your appt tomorrow! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! On a happy note…you girl are getting closer and closer to your lovely vacation!! I am sure you and David are going to have a wonderful time! No doubt about that! Enjoy it as much as possible because once you get back you are going to be a mommy! …and I hear you on the small country! same thing here!


Supergenius-
Welcome to the board! May you get baby #2 in your first attempt! …You live in Baltimore! DH and I we are huge fans of the HBO series "THE WIRE" and I am sure you know it takes place in Baltimore We finished season 4 on Saturday night and it was one of the best seasons ever! I cried and cried at the end…F*** amazing! We started the 5th season Sunday night.


Janis-
Another newbie on our board! Welcome dear and good luck with your cycle. May this be THE ONE for you and you get your miracle baby! …don’t know about the pain you are feeling. Maybe is something, maybe is nothing but I would call my doctor anyways and get that worry away.


Akdelp-
Glad you are feeling great honey! This is IT! This time is your time!

Kerpupples-
Yay for having twins! ...Sorry about the sub hematoma but glad you found the source of your bleeding. Your babies are going to be just fine! Keep up the good work mama!

Ninde-
For a trainer to “push” is part of his job, part of the “game”, but if that makes you feel uncomfortable and causes you pain, then you absolutely have to stop and change your workout routine. Take care of yourself and remember “good things are hard to get! They take time and effort. Lots of effort!” so don’t be hard on your self. You will get the results that you want eventually! Don’t loose faith and keep up the good work!


Gina-
I hear you on the healthy life style while waiting to cycle! This is exactly what I am doing right now. Eat healthy, exercise and breathe life! Keep it up my friend! I believe we are on the right track!

Sunshine-
YAY for the adrenaline rush on doing your job! That is cool! Keep up the good work honey!



AFM-
The job interview on Friday went well so now I am waiting to get the call for the 2nd interview. And STILL no sign of the other jobs that I’ve send my resume…so back on the waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Last night we saw the movie “Seperation” and we loved it! I recommend it to anyone that hasn’t seen it.

Besides the healthy diet that I am on, am also doing P90X workouts everyday and I find them amazing! The exercises are killing me but I wouldn’t take it any other way. Next step is to make an appt with a dietician to discuss about my hypothryroid diet. I am not gaining any weight its just hard to loose! almost impossible! Actually am loosing points around my waist and bum and I can see that with my clothes, but I am not loosing any weight. So an expert’s advice is the appropriate thing to ask for. Anything to make me a healthy mommy to be!!



Keep up your PMA ladies! This year is the baby making year! So keep your spirit high and have faith! I see lots of babies in our future!!! Lots!


Baby dust to us all!!
