4DPO today (This is an old thread!!!!)

Wow, I put the pics I have together and compared to 20 weeks I look full term! Not quite but holy! I'm scared there's still so long! I don't feel that big but it's such a big difference! Def have to watch what I'm eating and get moving a bit more, I've been bad lately and I think it's starting to show!

 

[OurLilFlu]

I don't know how to post multiple pics so here's a few from the the house... Kitchen, tiled!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Kind of shows the entrance, front window and some of the living room!

 

[OurLilFlu]

And here's an idea of both floors together the tile in the kitchen and a piece of the laminate that'll be in the living room, master and hallway

 

[OurLilFlu]

Dang and I had one of the main bathroom but it says the file is too large. Ill have to just wait til it's finished.. Right now the tub and surround is in and it's tiled.. Needs a sink/cabinet and a toilet lol

 

[Eltjuh]

Looks really nice! I like the way you come in and I like the tiles aswell!!

Great bump by the way, getting so big!!


I put some pictures of mine together, only bad thing is that the 24 week one is taken from a different angle, lower than the rest.....

 

[OurLilFlu]

Still it shows the progression really nice! I wish I didn't slack off and have none between 20-26 lol I feel like I just exploded!

 

[Naaxi]

Aww look at all the cute bellies ♡ You ladies are looking fantastic!

And I love your floors, Talia! The new place is going to be awesome Did you remember to bring the Sweepa?? Hahaha

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hey ladies, most of the top kitchen cabinets are up and I think my dad is tiling the front entrance today and tomorrow!

In worse news, yesterday I sprained my ankle pretty bad, missed the last step at the new house because I was reading and walking... Note to self, pregnant Talia is no longer allowed to multitask!!
Sore today but doing better than I thought!! Hahah

 

[Eltjuh]

Oh no Talia!!! You do realise it's never a good idea to walk down the stairs and read at the same time?? Hopefully your ankle will feel better soon!!

Caitlyn, have you had your appointment yet?? Any news??

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hahah yes hindsight is 20/20 lol it's feeling pretty decent after today so I should be back to normal tomorrow or the next!

Yes Caitlyn! We want to know about your appt! Hope you got some good feedback!

 

[Naaxi]

Hmm I wrote out a big reply and it doesn't seem to be here... I hope that your ankle heals quickly, Talia! Sprains suck.

My appointment went okay. She gave me a requisition for checking progesterone levels on "day 21" And so I asked her, so the day after ovulation? As we had spoken about the fact that I don't ovulate until day 20ish usually, give or take while we were talking... she says no, 7 days after you ovulate and looked at me like I was dumb. So I repeated that I don't ovulate until day 20ish, never 14. She raised her eyebrows and said then seven days after you ovulate. I don't think she believes me lol. Oh GPs... She should just send me to the fertility specialist.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hahah seems oblivious eh? But good thing you're charting cuz anyone else wouldn't know about their O... But that's good that you are getting bloodwork that's appropriate lol '7 days later' at least it's a step and hopefully you won't even need it! FX!

 

[Eltjuh]

OMG... doctors can be such a pain! Surely she should know that CD14 is an average and actually not a lot of people ovulate exactly on CD14! There's plenty of people that ovulate earlier or later than that (hence it being an average!) It really annoys me when they think you're stupid and they know everything! Especially when they don't! - I had a doctor one day who said you can't get pregnant when breastfeeding and he told me this story about his mum never getting pregnant when breastfeeding but as soon as she stopped she would fall pregnant or something stupid like that and I was like: NO! You CAN get pregnant when you're breastfeeding! You're actually more fertile I think if you're breastfeeding and having cycles again. Obviously if you don't have any AF or a proper cycle (with ovulation) then you can't get pregnant but breastfeeding is not a reliable form of contraception! It's surprising how stupid some doctors are!

Anyway, it's good that she is getting something done now! So are you going to get your progesterone test done 7 days after O ???
Glad that you're getting something at least!

 

[OurLilFlu]

So say you did fall preggers this cycle and got your bloodwork do you think they'd get you on the prog ASAP? Like as soon as they get the results if they're low? I'd def try to at least you'd have the prescription on hand eve n if you implant late

 

[Naaxi]

Yes I have the lab requisition already so I can just walk in a week after my O and get it done... I could probably even book the appointment with the labs on O day so it is all quicker. But I am pleased that things are rolling... and I preemptively bought some all natural progesterone cream to bring in to my appointment if the results indicate what I think they will, to ask if it is okay instead of the chemical packed ones. There are so many good reviews for this cream, I kind of hope my problem is as simple as low progesterone...

Eta: Hahaha! Posted three mins after you and kinda answered the question without knowing it lol. I am awaiting the cream in the mail and obviously can't start until I have a diagnosis but at least I will have it on hand. They all say they can take up to three months to start working though, however there are a few reviews of women having Fertility issues who used it and sustained a pregnancy. Very promising.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh neat! Is that cream as effective? Man if I had some on hand is be tempted to start taking it, but it's best to see those results! I hope that's what it is for you! With your recent experiences with mc and bleeding early on I think it makes sense! Fx!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh and not to mention your charts getting wonkier!

 

[Naaxi]

The reviews say it works better than the prescription ones seeing as it is more bio similar and the other chemicals don't interfere with the progesterone as there are no chemicals. Just all natural ingredients. And I know it will be hard not to just start it right away but I know I need answers.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh that's awesome to hear!!

So I've started my baby registry. Did you guys keep baby in your room in the beginning? I don't really want a bassinet since they grow out of them so fast, thinking a playpen with a bassinet setting... Any advice?
