Well, my first OB appointment turned out to be about what I thought it would be; LOTS of paperwork and a bunch of medical history questions (I also had a leep done in 2007 – she said that shouldn’t be an issue but it will be something they’ll keep an eye on it). The nurse put the labwork in for me….6 viles of blood and a…

Wow! This board moves a lot faster than I'm used to! I have my first appointment tomorrow (nothing special, just preliminary stuff, blood work etc) This is my second pregnancy (P=DS and he is 6) and they want me to go thru another prenatal class bc it's been so many years since I was pregnant. Since I couldn't make the…

Hey Ladies! My eggo is preggo! Got my BFP today!! ETA of Baby - T May 29, 2012!

So, just a quick update.....I got my lab results back today! My progesterone level was at 28! Which confirms ovulation! I was at the DMV when i found this out,....so I ran a few more errands and ran by walgreens to buy a test. I went ahead and splurged on a digital one so that there was no confusion...and BFP!!!!!! I just…

Must resist the urge to pee on things.....CD23 and 9DPO....I've made a deal w myself either lab results or CD29....which is NEXT tuesday....this whole 2WW thing SUCKS....been crampy and "stiff" in my uterine area...not sure what that means besides keeping me pretty cranky and uncomfortable....

I take my prenatals at night bc of the iron they make me sick otherwise. To my knowledge they are just a multivitamin that have the proper nutritional aspects that you need during pregnancy (I.e folic acid, iron, etc)

I love when people tell me how impressed they are with me as a military wife to spend months away from my hubs with limited communication etc etc....tonight I would just like to say how impressed with YOU ALL I am that you have ur hub's 24/7 and you have successful marriages etc etc....while I love my husband w all my…

Happy Monday ladies!! Quick responses to (hopefully) everyone! Jalara - my family knows (it was easier than dealing with the continual questions of when we were going to have more kids) and my close friends know. A lot of my friends are TTC or have recently gotten preggo so it's a very popular topic and again to keep from…

Happy Friday ladies!!!! Ahh....life is good. Hubs and i had an amazing vacation and we are both home safe and sound. We still have family in town which is keeping us pretty busy. I went back to work yesterday which was hard bc he gets to lay in bed and sleep in and I get to get up and get P (our 6yr old son) up and ready…

ok...**insert freak out spaz attack here** i leave for Hawaii TOMORROW and I see my husband the next day...I'm so freaking excited I can nearly function at work!! I picked up the MIL on saturday and we came home and got all settled. Ate some HORRIBLE(horribly delicious) farmer boys for dinner and then watched "How to lose…

Happy Saturday ladies!! I am sitting on my front porch (love being able to post from my iPhone!) enjoying a quiet morning with a nice cup of coffee. Jalara - that sounds uber frustrating!! I hate when places do that! I have been dealing w something similar only w trying to transfer to a local university here - one place…

OMG - Taldie!! Congrats on the BFP!!! sticky sticky vibes!!!

OMG - Taldie!! Congrats on the BFP!!! sticky sticky vibes!!!

Just took my first clomid pill...is it strange that I started to cry when I was opening it? It felt like a cross between buyers remorse and excitement...I have so much going on and it is all starting to become real....freaking out a bit...

Happy happy Wednesday ladies!! It is officially ONE week until I get to see my husband!!! I cannot even express the amount of (not medically enduced) emotions I am feeling...nervous, excited, anxious, prepared, unprepared...and the list goes on! Congrats to those who lost this week - remember, even I'd it's not as much as…

Pam - That is so exciting!!! I know exactly what you mean about getting excited about day one of your cycle! I felt the same way when I started the provera last week. Like, this could be the last time I have to do this....I could have a BFP in 30-45 days. I am SO happy I'll have so much going on during my 2WW w having all…

Thanks Karen! I was wondering how "chocolatey" they actually were - i don't mine the 30 calories too much if I can get more calcium from it than from 90-130 calories of skim/1% milk! I think I'm going to try it and see...my son had tried them before (he mistook them for real chocolate a few months ago at a friends house)…

Jalara - I am just on the provera right now to kick start the next cycle - AF should be here anytime between now ( I suppose) and next Wednesday. More than likely next Tuesday/Wednesday BC I'm done w provera on Monday and it takes a day or two for AF to show up but I'm trying to to "bank" on that BC today is CD28 so could…

Amanda - hang in there! It can feel very taxing! Undone know how to tell you to relax but I tell my RL friends who ate TTC to chart so you can keep track but "have fun with it"! I even suggested a "change of scenery" for BDing to keep things interesting :-) Marissa. - welcome! There is a survey intro thing a few pages…

Luki - welcome back!! Glad to have you back in the mix! I have a bunch of friends that are teachers and they are all dreading going back to work after having the summer off! Karen - Any word? How'd it go? Ive got my fingers crossed for you!! Pam - sorry to hear about the fight w your dad...family fights suck! My mom and I…

Sorry I've been kinda absent this week! I think I have had some sort of social function everynight this week! I've been creeping and trying to keep up w everyone! Jalara - that is some pretty awesome stats we've got going on! So the hubs is FINALLY in port so we've been able to skype twice (although one of them was at 2am…

Name: Alisa Age: 25 Where you live: central California Job: accounting assistant/student Length of time on the board - 1 year-ish - I joined the first month Jalara re-named it (i think me Pam jalara and maybe Ashley are the only originals left!) Marital Status: Married Length of time you've been with SO: 4 years next month…

HAPPY MONDAY!! I will respond to everyone later when I have a chance to read thru the rest of the weekend! My weigh in today was AMAZING! official weigh in: 145.6!! That's a FULL 5lbs down this week!! I've been within 1200 calories everyday and 80+oz of water everyday! I baked chicken and premade salads for lunches this…

Hey ladies! Happy Saturday! I am bound and determined to post SOMETHING everyday....you guys got me thru my weight loss (and gain) last year...so I'm thinking that you are my secret weapon! Ashley - have an awesome time camping!! I hope I didn't miss it but I remember jalara asking for details on how you told ur hubs!!…

Hoooorraaayyy Ashley!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

Julie - coming from a fellow military spouse, I would say wait for orders. Worst case scenario u can't sell/rent right away and you stay behind for a month or two until the house is taken care of....and in the mean time if hubs goes geo-Bach(better than Korea, at least he'd be in the continental US) for a few months and…

Ahhh Wednesday!! It's my favorite day of the week and marks off another week closer to seeing my hubs and being in Hawaii!! Jalara - I'm so sorry you are dealing w all this! Like everyone else I'm hoping this "learning experience" gets some helpful answers for you for next time! Karen - 2ww sucks! I'm NOT looking forward…

Luteal phase is ***normally*** about 10-14 days...so if u ovulated then AF should arrive next week sometime (as ur calculations came up w too) they're probably checking progesterone to make sure there us not a deficiency in that area since they can tell u ovulate...? But! Here is the glimmer of hope for you...it only takes…

Oh! I forgot to put that my pill intake everynighy is: 2 fish oil capsules, a prenatal vitamin (taking them at night REALLY makes a difference!) and an additional folic acid supplement :-)
