Hi ladies!!! I wanted to write in so many
posts here tonight, but I am soooooo
tired, that I just thought i'd start this
one, b/c I promised to share my news about
my u/s today!!!!
Let's see.........I did get a picture, but you really can't see much of anything at all. It pretty much looks like a pea sized white blob.....My baby!!!!!!!
The heart rate was 162, and the due date is sept.8th, which means that as of today, I am only 7 weeks & 4 days. That's actually earlier than what I thought I was by about 5 days.
Here's my problem though, and i'm trying to figure this out. I thought I ovulated on dec.11th, perhaps the 12th at the very latest. Dh and I bd'd last time on dec.12th, but if I am 8 weeks this saturday, that means conception happened on dec.16th.....4 days after last bd day. Is that possible? I thought the most sperm could live up to was 48, maybe pushing 36 hours, but 4 days?????? Seems weird.
Just thought i'd get your thoughts. I tried asking the u/s tech, but she wasn't the nicest lady and didn't seem to have the patience. Nice.
Anyways, it was an absolutley incredible feeling to see my little white blob looking smudge on the monitor and just to get the "confirmation" that there really is a baby inside!!!!! I can't describe the feelings that my heart felt at that moment.
I wish this wonderful feeling to happen to you all still ttc very very soon!!!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies for all your replies!!!!!!!
I guess sperm can live up to around 4 or 5
days, but that's pushing it, soooooo like
you said, i'll take it for what it
is.....A healthy sticky baby so far with a
good heart rate!!!!!! It was so
incredible to see the heart moving, and
then the baby moved. It's hard to see,
but the tech pointed everything out!
Next time I go at 20 weeks, I will have better pic's and will be able to post them here!!!!!
Just wish my belly would pop out already so I can look pregnant and not bloated and heavy!!!! I am definately loving sweatpants these days, and big big shirts!!!!! Lol
t& musik - let me know how your u/s go when you have them ok?! Make sure you keep me updated

Thanks shorty - yes, I was pretty darn
close, but for some reason I thought that
if my dates were off, that I would have
been a bit further along.....Not the other
way!!!! Oh well, I was only off by 4
days, so not bad for me trying to figure
it all out huh?!
good luck with getting the hubby away from the taxes.......Like I said before, lure him with food and maybe even some sexy lingerie!!!!!!!
sounds like you got all the right signs for o'ing! Hope the opk kit detects it, and if not, don't get down about it. I never used'em.....Just went off my body!
Keep us posted!!!!

Hot cheetos??? He-he-he....Your baby
doesn't like spicy things either huh?!!!
I love spicy foods and tried eating just
some midly spicy foods twice now, and both
times I was running into the bathroom and
throwing up.....Yuck!
Did your tech or doctor give you your due date? Or your roll-over day? (which day of the week you are one week further along, if that makes any sense? My day is saturday. So each saturday I am one week further along!!)
i pm'd you back!
Talk to all of you ladies soon!!!! Good luck everyone, I hope this wekend brings alot of happy surprises in the form of bfp's!?!!!

Jaemi - I got my temp increase today, so
now i'm 1dpo, I think. Of course, ff
will take a couple of days to confirm.
So now i'm on my 2ww. I'm actually
relieved to be on my 2ww because the signs
of impending ovulation lasted six days
this month. We got in a lot of bding,
but we are tired and I was starting to
fear that I wouldn't ovulate. I did wear sexy
lingere, but my dh wasn't into food. He
joked last night that he felt like I was
treating him like my own private sperm
bank, and then proceeded to discuss where
to put a bassinet in our bedroom.
i think it is reasonable to expect the tech to confirm your estimated ovulation date, but I would expect a several day error in the tech's precision. I would be more worried about dates if the tech came back and told you you were one month further along! four days earlier
is so small that it is probably within a
standard error of the tech's estimation
method or tools. I think the closeness
of the test probably confirms your
estimate of the ovulation date. :p of
course, it is useful to use the dates that
the tech gave you as a guide.
