Hi Ladies.

About the cramps... i haven't had them this month... just with AF, and today i had one small one shortly after some good bding... i think that i am ok for now. when i had surgeory (back in 98!) they said i did not have endo. my mom has fibro tumors... i don't know if that is hereditary or no? but i just had a pap and exam and everything was normal... he didn't feel cysts either? so who knows.

Amber, did you lose weight in your first tri? i am sorry! you look so cute! i love your little bump!

Carrie, i can't wait until you can start posting pics of your cute little bump!!! and i wouldn't worry about mc. i think you should think positively! we are all praying for you in here!

Beth, i hope you get your bfp this month!! i hear so many people say that when they take a break, that is when they get pg! i hope that is what happens!! and, make sure to have some fun bding in there! get yours!!! lol!!!

Mere, how exciting about your little boy coming home before his 1st bday! i can't wait to see pics either! what a wonderfu wonderful thing!!!

alright ladies... i need to get some rest.

I will talk to you all later!

Hey girls, just marking my spot!! Thanks for the new thread, I had been thinking about it for a while but never did anything about it!

Anna, I'm glad your cramps have been better- I would keep up with that though if you are concerned in any way. BTW, you and I have got to get with the program and get our bfp's!!!! 2 down, 2 to go!

Mere, are you guys also TTC? I was not totally sure and don't want to assume anything. If so, g/l with whatever new things you are trying!

Carrie and Amber, I hope things keep going well for both of y'all...keep us updated with the pics, I LOVE those!

Yup, my boyfriend and I are going to start trying. Although he may be leaving for his job and other life stuff, this summer. So I might be looking into sperm donors. It's a long story, but basically I don't want my son to be an only child. The biggest thing right now, is trying to figure out what my body is doing, getting new tests done w/ my current docs, and getting new docs in a few months, when I switch jobs. I would really like become PG sometime this summer. Yet if it happens sooner, I will be happy too.

bethie3379 · 01-10-2008, 04:07 PM

Mere, g/l with all your new endeavors! I hope all goes well for you...

BTW, has anyone seen or heard from Buddy? She was on our other thread, but I haven't seen her in a really long time....

CaliGirl! · 01-11-2008, 10:27 PM

Well I had my doctor's appointment today and all went well. The baby's organs, legs, arms, etc... are measuring perfect! The doc did slip a "she" in there so now I think it is a girl. Others said it is probably just a generic term they use instead of "it". I still think it's a girl but I will wait to find out for sure when the baby gets here.

Anna...I lost 4 pounds during my 1st trimester. I am back to my pre-prego weight as of today.

How's everyone doing?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Carrie, how are things going? how are you doing? you need to update me!!!

Mere, what all are you doing to get ready for Braden?

Beth, how is this cycle going? do you think you have o'd. what cd are you on?

Buddy... that is right... where are you? How are you doing!?

I hope everyone is great! Have a good weekend!!!

ASMay- Basically everything for him is done, the nursery, play area, carseat installed, and packed ready to go get him. The biggest issue is that I am in the process of remodeling my house, so it is not very toddler proof. So I have been busy this week, trying to make it safe and finish as many projects as I can before I leave in 2 weeks to go get him.

Everyone- I have a couple of questions, since I am new to tracking my cycle and such. I have been taking my temp each day, w/ a BBT and tracking it with fertilityfriend.com (ff.com). My temps are all over the board. I am still working on getting used to doing it each morning. Yet they seem really erratic. Any ideas? Also when should you start using the OPK tests? Or should I wait until the next cycle when/if my temps even out? From what I can tell from ff.com is that I should be O soon.

carriebabbie · 01-13-2008, 07:44 PM

Mere, at what point are you in in your cycle. In the beginning, right after my period, my temps are very erratic but then they steady out in them middle. Mine tend to stay erratic if I don't ovulate.

I have my first OB appt tomorrow, I'll let you ladies know how it goes.

Carrie, how did your apt go!! i am dying over here!!!

mereseeley · 01-15-2008, 06:37 PM

carriebabbie- On the day that I wrote my last post I was on CD12, now CD15. I am/was expecting to O soon, yet it seems that it didn't happen. Also yesterday, I spotted in the am, had minor cramping all day, and a headache for the past two days. Which were all weird symptoms for me. It would be too soon for implantation bleed, if I somehow missed my O. My period has been all over the place for the past 6 months or so. Maybe it is coming way early? I don't know. I took Soy on CD3-6, maybe that is what is affecting my cycle? Just really confused right now.

How did your apt go?

CaliGirl! · 01-15-2008, 06:56 PM

Carrie...How are you> How was your appointment?

carriebabbie · 01-16-2008, 12:06 AM

Hi ladies,

My appointment went okay. He said that I was measuring fine. He couldn't hear a heartbeat so he reccommended an u/s because of my previous m/c.

I did the u/s and there was a hb!!!!!!!!!!!!! tg

It was kind of low but he didn't seem concerned because I'm only 7 weeks.

Mere, good luck toddler proofing.

Beth, hope all is well.

Amber and Anna, how are you ladies?

Carrie

CaliGirl! · 01-16-2008, 01:22 AM

Carrie...That is great news!! I bet you are feeling relieved. How are you feeling?
