Sad
2008 January 9
I would have been 10 weeks today.
Today is a sad day.
I’m also still very sick.
And my temp is up, and I don’t know if it’s due to me being sick or because of Baby Hope (that’s what I’m calling this one) is trying to stick around. Who knows…?
Hi Erin!
Now, from what I gather, you MAY be pregnant, but you’re not getting your hopes up, so you’re calling this ‘baby hope’, instead of the baby, or the beginning stages of pregnancy. Am I right? Am I in the “ballpark?”
Now, if I’m “way out there”, then you are not pregnant, and you are having that sympathy sickness, so to speak. Am I right, here? Oh, I’m so confused…If you’re up to it, could you explain? If you feel this is a nosy topic, I understand.
Thanks,
Brooke
I don’t get it…. your temps aren’t right…..
You are supposed to ovulate 5-9 days AFTER your last clomid tablet…. the dip on the 30th is in that range…. the second dip (which you are currently thinking is your DPO would be more likely an implantation dip….looks like you have some triphasic-ish type temps going on…. if you have one more day of an increase.
Just a thought….
… yea, the more I look at it, the more I think I’m right. Ovulating 14 days after your last tablet? THAT is definitely not right…. I think you ovulated before….. do you have a regular pregnancy test?
Brooke: I just have a horrible cold. And I could be pregnant (after all, sex+clomid+ovulation=baby…sometimes) – and if I were, I’m calling this baby, Hope. Hope that cleared it up for you.
Anji: I ovulate late in my cycle… I’m out of pregnancy tests at the moment… and I’m seriously trying not to waste money on them this month.
well – ovulating late in a cycle is normal, if you’re not on clomid… it’d be bizarre if you did… do you go for bloodwork around the 21st of your cycle?
Hi,
Oh, I get it, now! I thought you were calling this time, the waiting time, “baby hope”, instead of the two-week wait. I accentuated the word “baby”, not the word “hope.” So, I was pronouncing it BABY hope, not baby HOPE…Does that make sense? I’m too analytic, (sp?) I know…
Thank you, though, for the explanation. That’s a pretty cool idea-naming the unborn, especially something calm, soothing, and ideal as “Hope.” How creative you are, Erin…Oh, yeah, Erin, I have no idea WHAT I’m looking at when I’m “reading” your chart. I don’t understand it, but, hey, that’s okay. As long as it’s helpful to you, that’s all that matters.
Because I was in the midst of relocating when I got pregnant, my very first check-up was with my new doctor, and it wasn’t until I was FOUR MONTHS! I know, (it was) scary. Right? After that, a “sono” was scheduled, and, we, of course, could see the gender right away, so we called him…, yep, the name I picked out for him long before I met the man that would become “daddy.”
Well, that’s my little story. I think next time, I will do things more uniquley like all of you nice, young ladies do today. Looking back and wondering why this wasn’t so for me, I have to embrace the idea that I was probably too “into” reading baby books, going to parenting classes, and buying ALL the “right” things for baby. Yep, that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it! Ha!
Thinking of you,
Brooke
