Fit For Future Families - November 2011

Today was bloodwork day - had my full panel done plus my pregnancy test (for the provera to jump start my cycle).....halloween was awesome, even if it did get a little raunchy. My neighbours all crowded onto the driveway and we had a big bonfire going.....somehow someone suggested vandalising our next door neighbours inukshuk (stone man)......let's just say someone gave up their undies and we had a left over cucumber and someone else grabbed the duct tape and the sparkly belt......LOL I was taking pics of the get up and they came out and we all had a good laugh.....LOL This was well after the trick or treaters (and there was no alcohol involved....LOL) Overall it was a spectacular night....good company, good fun, good candy! Happy Hallowe'en, back to the normal world tomorrow....

LOL sounds like fun!

Bump, so that I can stalk this thread!

Oh & I saw a pic of a BFP, congrats Dexters!

Dexters- Looks like a BFP to me! From what I've read all you need is a faint line--you can't have any line unless you have the pregnancy hormone. Good luck with the blood test!

cutmd- If you're going to drive yourself crazy to wait week, I don't think it can hurt to test tomorrow and hope for no CP.

AFM- Still waiting for everything to get back to normal after coming off BC. I'm a week "late" (though it's been so long since I've had a normal cycle I'm not sure how close to 28 days I'll be), but I took a test this morning and still nothing (not a bit shock after the first 5 tests came back negative :blushing: ).

Congrats Dexter! I'd be jumping for joy if I got that test result! Woo hoo! Feeling good baby vibes on the November thread already!

Strange fact about yourself: I have just recently (4 months) started having regular periods. In my entire life I have never had a period closer together than 11months.

I was always told I could never concieve because of my PCOS and my weight. I have done a ton of research and I am hoping if I lose the weight it will kick start my body into ovulating regularly.

Thanks all u guys. i joined here last month and everybody is so much supportive and motivating

did the blood test this evening.My husband is jumping around the house screaming ... I DONE IT!!!! I DONE IT!!!! AND THANK YOU GOD!!!!!

YES ITS A BFP

congrats! great news!

YES ITS A BFP

Congratulations!

Hello November!

Dexter- Congrats girl! So happy for you!!

Welcome to all the new ladies.

Pam- sounds like a fun night!

Pixie- Take it easy. Hope you feel better soon!

Emily- I'm the same way about testing early. I probably took a hpt every month before I started trying to pay more attention to my body and track my cycles a little better. I feel the same way about God having a different plan then I have on getting pregnant again. My SIL had a terrible MC this summer and we had just started trying again when we found out. So part of me feels like maybe God will let us get pregnant when she'll be okay with it. And I'm okay with that, I don't want her to be hurt by it. IMHO.

Karen- Good luck with everything!!! Can't wait to hear how your sonogram goes! Hopefully we'll all be joining you on the pregnancy board soon!!!

AFM- Had a pretty good time taking LO out last night. Spent this morning trying to clean my bathroom and kitchen. Which I have almost decided is pointless with a toddler. What's the point in cleaning when I have a tornado baby following right behind me?!?! LOL! Now I'm feeding my face with her candy. In my head I'm doing her a favor. :laugh: Need to work on my self control!!!!
