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

[blueeyedreamer]

Ninde- Yeah, a little cramps and sore. I just wanted to relax. I haven't been able to relax in a bath for way too long. I was restricted after my hysteroscopy, then did retrieval, then did transfer so it feels like forever. I went for a long walk today and wanted to relax in a bath after. Oh well. I will wait. My dh is very cautious about putting anything on me or in me. He is worried that it is too early to soak in salts. There is nothing wrong with a warm bath and epsom salts. I don't take hot baths anyway so I don't have to worry about the heat. If the bath is too hot my left leg goes numb.

As for your discharge, totally normal. I have had a ridiculous amount of watery/milky discharge. It's called leukorrhea. I've had to start using panty liners some days.

[Ninde]

Nicole: thanks for that, I think im not symptom spotting officially!!! Oh wow that is a long time without being able to have a bath. You should ask for a massage in its place

Ninde

[leorira11]

Ninde - how many days past transfer are you? POAS already! I totally understand waiting for beta, but I've never ever ever been able to do it!

Nicole - stalking for your new beta.... sucks that you are about 12 hours behind me! I hope you are sleeping well
Why no epsom salt bath? I know that baths too hot is bad for the baby (I'm the weirdo who takes cold baths and showers in the summer, so I've been doing luke-warm baths). Is it the *bath* or the epsom salt?

Also - I have crazy weird discharge - totally normal!

Lori - HURRAY! You know that every single day that goes by makes your risk of losing this baby smaller and smaller, right? After 8 weeks, you have a greater than 95% chance of bringing this baby home (even higher, I think!)

AFM- same old, same old. As nervous as I am about carrying this baby to term, I'm so happy that, at least for today, I get to be pregnant again.

[kynlee]

Always- Yah for moving on to your OB, I was nervous when I thought of havingt omove to OB but it was a great feeling after I seen him and the nurse there

Ninde- Yes the discharge is normal I got it at the beginning too and I am doing PIO shots

[Madame X]

Nicole - Good luck with your beta!

Always - Congrats on moving on to your OB! That is great, glad everything is going well!

Ninde - Hope the dizziness goes away stays away. I told my fiends I had to couldn't keep it in

Jayne - One night very close to the transfer, like the first night or the night after, I had cramping in the middle of the night. We are def going to find out what we are having! I can't wait! Then I can start shopping and planning

Kynlee - Yes I'm still on my meds. Down to 1 estrace in the am and 1 in the pm and only 2 shots of PIO this week and next.

AFM - Went for my first trimester blood work yesterday and a urine sample. Back to school tom - teacher in service. Oh well at least they ease us back in with the upcoming 3 day weekend.

[Sunshine1576]

Leora- Oh we'll have to brainstorm some anniv ideas! Dh and I will be doing something romantic this weekend. Keep up the encouragement...One day at a time is all we can focus on, promise to keep us posted though on how you are doing. You have a huge cheerleading squad over here who thinks about you quite often because we live vicariously through you!

MadameX- With school starting back up time will really fly, what grade/subjects do you teach? Dh just got certified to teach history grades 6-12 this will certainly open up new avenues for him.

Nicole- We're all looking forward to CELEBRATING your news, please let this be your time!

AFM: Dh gave me a ton of chocolate for our anniversary and I cannot seem to keep my hands out of it. Told him next time hide Hershey kisses around the house instead! Need to get out of the house for bit... It's a nice day we shouldn't let it get away!!

[blueeyedreamer]

huge jump! 707! Will schedule an ultrasound for weds.

[Ninde]

Evening ladies

Leora: my transfer was last wed so im 7dp2t. And hope - not going to poas I just so want to make it to testing and that af doesn't arrive beforehand like last time. That's a really lovely sentiment about being happy that for today you are pregnant

Kynlee: thanks for telling me you had the discharge too. Its not too much but its there. How are your migraines?

Madam x: im really glad you told your friends what do you teach?

Sunshine: did you manage to get out today?

Nicole: that is just the best news so a scan on wed, terrific. Im thrilled for you

Afm: definately a bit crampy in my lower back today and i have the weirdest pain like carpal tunnel in my left hand, it woke me through the night. Od. Tomorrow I actually have to do some work! Its the last day of the suicide prevention therapeutic programe sso my first early morning since er on the 20th Im singing at a charity fundraiser lunch next week and wanted to check out the sound system so i went uin to the venue today. Just as well the room has beautiful accoustics because the sound system and particularly the mic are awful - so I'll sing without a mic and project like crazy

Ninde

[Sunshine1576]

Ninde- Singing for a fundraiser sounds awesome what doed the fundraising proceeds go to? I'm glad you are managing to keep yourself busy the tww will be over before you know it and I am continuing to pray for your BFP!

Nicole- Wonderful news your little bean is growing leapbounds and will be doing somersaults in the u/s before you know it.

MadameX- Have fun tomorrow night with the girls I'm sure they will be thrilled to hear your exciting news!

Kynlee- Tonight sounds like fun and I love your idea with the BYOB they will be definately surprised! Keep on thinking about fun ways to make the announcement AND make it big!

AlwaysAngel and Rypell- Congratulations to you girls as well!

AFM: I really enjoyed the afternoon working out in my garden today, nice and breezy fall afternoon, took out all my frustration out on the weeds but overall I was in complete serenity.

[dys24]

Hi Ladies,

Nindine- I admire your strength for not POAS! lol I couldnt do it haha are you planning to do one at all or just b/w? Anyway I'm wishing for your BFP!

blyeyeddreamer- yeyyyy for a great jump! Good luck with your u/s!

Sunshine- haha I'm craving chocolate soooo bad but I'm trying to be good, I've lost a bunch of weight before this pregnancy and dont want to gain it back

MadameX- 10wks already wow time flies! Hope you are feeling well

leoira- good luck with your cerclage! I'm glad everything is going smooth for you

tohavefun- where are you? How are you feeling? haven't seen an update from you.

I had my u/s and everything looks great baby is measuring right on track with a excellent hb! I'm still in awe that this worked! lol

[kynlee]

Ninde- My Migraines have finally left Wish we could hear you sing, did you ever finish those tracks you were working on a while back?

Sunshine- My friends were so surprised they got so excited that the restaurant probably heard lol, the ladies to the side of us asked what the excitement was about so my friends let them know and they congratulated me, It just feels so good to be able to be open about it now... Wish I liked Gardening, I always wanted to be a Martha Stewart but that never happened my DH is more of the Martha Stewart with that kind of stuff

Thining of you girls and praying for your Upcoming cycles and All the BFP to come

[Ninde]

Hi ladies
Sunshine: proceeds are going to a suicide charity. How are you doing?

Kynlee: that's great the migraines are gone. Yes, tracks are done. If you would like to hear them I could email you them?

Dys: what I did the first time was to do one after I got my beta!! That's fantastic that your scan went so well

Nicole: how are you doing?

Waiting g: how are you?

Afm: im tired but that may be because i did my first working day in two weeks today! Finished up with the group and the growth they have made is wonderful. I would say one or two are still a concern in terms of taking their lives but they are definately coping better and there is absolutely no guarantee with this work.

Ninde

Ninde

[Sunshine1576]

Ninde- I know there is never no guarantee but you have that ability to making an impact on their everyday life. We all deal with troubles some more severe then others, but through it all we cannot loose hope. Tomorrow will bring us something new- a day filled with brand new hope and our faith in that hope is truly what keeps us going.

Kynlee- I bet your friends were so surprised! Have you started registerring for your shower yet? It's all Soooo exciting!

dys- Enjoy every moment! Talking about chocolate we have hershey kisses, reeses cups, and Ghiradelli Dark @Sea Salt caramel which is actually something I never had before but I've been trying to pace myself to one piece a day haha. I need to start preparing myself for our upcoming cycle in late October.

AFM: Yesterday I had tried to call my main clinic in Mobile but it was closed due to the Tropical storm...So I finally reached them today to take care of a bill. The bill was from last Spring when we had the cryopreserve/sperm analysis and never registered that they set up an account for dh. First she first told me I didn't owe anything but then I told her to look at the account number and sure enough it was in my husband's name. You would think they would link everything to the patient being me. She asked if I was planning on coming back and I said yes... she told me I have a credit on my account. I had my credit card out and everything never expected a credit! I asked if she could transfer the amount over to pay this bill and mail me a receipt. Yes it always call the clinic first if there are any credits first before paying a bill even if you don't have medical insurance covering anything. Who knows how the medical charges works in the fertility world?? I only know as much as we're already overcharged when we see a credit at the clinic even if it's only a hundred bucks here and there, we know we're the luckiest patient. But I'm so ready to get going again dh said to me this morning we're letting time slip away. I told him we need to call the Springstone Financing Group today and find out if we have to wait 30 days before reapplying for the IVF loan.

[Ninde]

Christy: that's great news, whatban unexpected good thing to happen I agree with you about faith and hope but I have seen people lose both and not just temporarily. I think that the hardest thing that happens is when both go and then our strength is really tested. If we can be with that faithlessness and hopelessness and just wait, then we stand a chance. But that is so so difficult.

Can anyone remember the name of the lovely lady that was having triples and is anyone in touch with her?

Leora~ I think of you often and am glad that your miracle bean continues to grow. So exciting.

Kynlee~ I was relieved to hear your cramping story. Every little thing freaks me out because I want this so badly this time.

Alwaysangel~ congrats on a great U/S. Another milestone; check!

Ninde~ I am thinking of you. I can't believe you're holding on until your beta. I am not capable (see below) Still dizzy? Any more carpal tunnel pain?

Madame~ You're moving along. And I would find out the sex too. My type A personality would go crazy without knowing.

Sunshine~ I'm addicted to chocolate. Love it. I enjoyed your weed story because I did the same thing. I was in my yard for 6+ hours yesterday. Beautiful day. I enjoyed the fresh air. And I'm happy you had a credit. Those surprises are always fun.

Nicole~ Oh my goodness. What a fantastic jump. Big congrats.

Dys~ congrats on a good U/S.

AFM~ 4dp5dt and I just took a HPT and got a very faint line. I'm over the moon but trying to bring myself back to earth. I know it's not my trigger shot because I took a test two days ago and got a negative. And it wasn't even with my first urine this morning. I hope it keeps getting darker.
