@Dragonfly23- Fingers crossed for you! I am definitely wanting to know the sex. I am way too excited to not want to be able to plan the perfect nursery and everything else.

@Ruby0709- That's exciting that you are looking for a house! We just bought ours a year ago this month. I definitely relate to the anxiety though. I am also in full crunch mode of planning our wedding. It was supposed to be next fall but after a venue issue caused us to rethink things it is now Feb 17th. So I am planning a wedding where I will be about 5 1/2 months pregnant. I hate keeping secrets and since we are not even telling family yet that makes the wedding planning a lot more complicated as well. Also physically I am just not feeling well. I'm not throwing up at all but I get queasy almost constantly, I feel motion sick just from walking. My breasts are so painful that I can't even have my pets lay on me, I am so constantly exhausted that some days I can barely function, and I get a bit constipated every day. That's not fun at all.
I know that I should not complain, i mean I'm thrilled to be expecting a baby and I'm not having any spotting or constant vomiting or anything so all things considered I'm blessed, but I can't help it. So far pregnancy is not enjoyable.

@Prayingfor1. I hear you about the nursery so you guys won't be buying a whole bunch of stuff that isn't needed and can put it towards the wedding. That was one thing I did not enjoy were the boobs hurt so much. I remember when I was out shopping looking for a wedding dress (got married after DD was born) and I forgot to put a breast pad in and milk leaked. It was so embarrassing sitting in the mall with a wet top and hoping nobody notices them.

@Rudy0709. Hope house shopping goes okay for you. Try to stay calm and relaxed.

@Dragonfly23- I can imagine that would be embarrassing. How old was she when you got married?

I saw my Dr today to get the results from my ultrasound and although the baby is fine my pregnancy has now been deemed as high risk because instead of the 1 that I knew about, I now have 3 uterine fibroids . I knew this could happen but I have to say it is still a pretty major emotional blow. I have been trying really hard not to stress since then but it's been difficult. The specialist's office should call me next week to schedule my appt with them. My Dr did say that it's just a precaution, they will do an ultrasound at every visit to watch the fibroid growth, but still...

@Prayingfor1. Oh no that's horrible. My daughter was born march 29, 2016 and married Mother's Day that year (May8). I hope nothing bad happens. Keep me updated if you want.

@Dragonfly23- Thank you. I will keep you updated. I am refusing to believe that anything could go wrong, with the bloodlines this kid has it's too stubborn for anything bad to happen. They will keep a close eye on me, and I'll get ultrasounds at every appt so yay! I'm hoping that in a few months the specialist will say that the fibroids have stabilized and I'll no longer be considered high risk. How are the okp's working for you?

@Prayingfor1. I don't really like them as the lines aren't getting darker. I will try and post yesterday's and this morning. I am not testing tonight.

Has any of you BFP ladies' made it over to the sister site; countdownmypregnancy? I came across it a little while back and was curious.

@Dragonfly23- I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with them. If you keep having trouble maybe try the Clear blue digital ones next month. I used the cheaper of them, the one with the pink handle, and had no trouble. It simply gives you a smiley face when it detects a surge. Once you get the smiley you stop testing because you should then ovulate in 24-48 hours. Also, I have joined the sister site, no one talks in the forums though so I basically just use it for tracking symptoms and milestones and such. I did see where you had asked a question awhile back though. :)

@Prayingfor1. Yea, I was curious about my BBT temps and was looking for answers. I forgot about it till now. Will have to give those OPKs a try but man they are expensive. You wod think they would be cheaper and have the pregnancy test more. Anyway, will see what happens this time around.

Okay ladies. I posted the OPKs but had to cut the one off a bit as I can't figure out the crop settings. Would anyone know what day I might have ovulated on? Let me know what you think.

@Dragonfly23- So obviously I am not a pro at opk's but the one that got cut looks pretty close to positive. I agree they were pretty expensive, I'm not sure how much they cost in your area, but that being said I only ended up using 5 of them and got pregnant so i would say it was worth it. The box I bought came with 10 so it would have been 2 months worth. I want to say the cost was somewhere around $1.50 per test, which to rid myself of the guesswork and confusion was worth it. And again it worked for me so I would recommend them lol. But I do know what you mean and if I had not gotten pregnant so quickly I probably would have eventually switched to a cheaper kind. I really hope your temps continue to go up and you see your BFP in a couple of weeks!
