Rain - yayforpotty training improvements!

AFM - massive temp spike at 6 DPO. I know fertility friend looks for shifts at or after 7 DPO. So, it’s kind of weird.

Happy birthday Bella!

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies!!

 

[TTC74]

Happy birthday to my sweet girl, Bellamy Hope! We will be having a birthday bash on Sunday. 🎉🎈💗

On another note, does anyone else see anything here? I’m 9 DPO.

Miki - you sound wonderful and like you’ve rebounded!! I’m so beyond happy for you that you found the support you need!! What you said about inefficient nurser is kinda ringing true for me right now I think. I’ve decided to just do formula all night for both boys with a few pumping sessions as well to stock up for M the following day. And then just BF T all day. Well T is either not getting enough at a time or is lazy about it and not taking enough and is not sleeping long stretches now. I can’t tell. Its 5:33am and I’ve had about 2 hrs of sleep total since 11:30 bc I have to keep getting up for him. I’ve moved is to the living room with him next to me sorta cosleeping in the RnP. We’ll see how this works. He looks wide awake though!!
Other than these sleeping woes (I hear DH with M upstairs right now...) everything is still pretty darn awesome. They are changing so much already, growing out of NB clothes, facial expressions and eye contact galore, starting to hold up heads. We love it!

Rain - that’s awesome for little pink potty training herself!! That must be a load off.
I didn’t care for JT’s halftime show, I thought it was forgettable. Though it has to be hard to carry that alone. The Prince part was cool. And yeah, I’m watching some of the Olympics during the late night feeds. I think that kid was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night - he seems like a cool little egg. I watched Schiffer get gold in W Giant Slolam last night, and the carnage of the snowboarding races. They are all insane people going so fast down an icy mountain!!

TTC - I don’t see anything but I hope it’s there IRL. good luck! And I’m sorry about your DD’s turn of events. We’ve all been there...

 

[Rainshiny]

Ttc- I kinda thought I saw something but couldn’t say definitively. Fx fx...!

Wish- I didn’t think that much about the halftime show I guess- turned off my brain and enjoyed the throwback tunes. Made me feel old cause he’s been around so long! True, the performance was not remarkable.

I think I like the sports with jumps more than the ones that go really really fast- altho it’s fun to watch for a couple rounds. Makes me hope we get more snow this year so we can play in it! They love the sled (but hate having cold hands ).

Maybe t is going through a growth spurt or about to reorganize his brain to a better sleep schedule!! Maybe he’s pumping up your supply and will be satisfied tomorrow. Do u have a schedule at all yet? I guess they still sleep like all the time!

Hi all

What a great thread. My name is Emma I’m 37 from England,UK. DH and I are ttc #2 I’m on cycle 4 currently 11dpo all sorts of crazy symptoms lots of BFN’s but holding out hoping AF doesn’t arrive.

Ps my MIL is also driving me crazy ! 😬😂

Good luck to everyone on here x

 

[TTC74]

Welcome eemma!

Update . . . 11 dpo. Was sure I was out after a bfn this morning on my last IC. Planned to stop my progesterone tonight or tomorrow night. So, I got some first signals just to double check. Here’s what I ended up with. Very faint. But it’s there.

 

[Ask4joy]

Welcome Emma! FX for you this month!

TTC - I see it! Did it show up in the time limit? I once had my DH pee on a First Signal and an evap line showed up about 20 mins later so I only trust them within the time limit! Can you get your hands on a FRER? FX it’s the real deal!!!

I wasn’t 100% positive it was within the time limit. So, I took a second with no hold and a dilute sample and still got a faint line! Check in for the FRER update tomorrow.

 

[Ask4joy]

Yay! That’s definitely promising!!

 

[TTC74]

While I was hoping for a nicer line today, I definitely got a line that wasn’t there yesterday. Woohoo! Now I’m just praying it sticks. Here is the original and tweaked test.

 

[Ask4joy]

Congrats TTC! Crossing everything for you!

 

[Rainshiny]

Any updates ttc? I hope everyone you know is safe- so scary. I think the tragedy was in your county, right? Just heartbreaking... and so tiring to keep seeing these events over and over 😭

How’s everyone else?

We had one sick kid over the weekend but took the time to help solidify her potty training, which is going great. DW is going nuts over all the stuff we have that we need to get rid of. Hard to keep on top of it when I feel like I’m organizing stuff all the time... anyone else dying for warmer weather? Tired of winter

 

[TTC74]

It was not in my county, but even in the same state brings these tragedies into a horrifying reality.

AFB - Be honest, three days after my vfl bfp, these should be getting darker faster, right. And tonight’s (on bottom) is actually slightly lighter than this morning’s (on top), right? Afraid it’s another CP at this point.

 

[TTC74]

Freakin out. Was sure this was going the way of a CP but today’s test is darker than yesterday’s. So, I’m still in it! Will keep you all updated.

 

[Ask4joy]

FX for you TTC! Comparing line progression in those early days can be maddening! And I found the First Signals to be the worst with progression compared to Wondfos and FRERs.

Officially in the second trimester! 14 weeks today!

 

[Rainshiny]

Congrats on the second trimester Ask!! Big milestone....How are u feeling?? Are you going to tell more people? Do your sons know? How did they react?

Ttc everything crossed for you!! Hope this is the lucky cycle!!

 

[Ask4joy]

Thank you Rain! We announced on Facebook at 12 weeks (I couldn’t wait anymore!) and my stepsons have known since the transfer - they seem to be positive about it and said they are excited and happy for us, but I’m sure there are probably a lot of mixed feelings. DH told his ex so the boys wouldn’t feel responsible for telling her and of course got no response - but that’s better than a psycho response which tends to be the norm from her.

I’m feeling ok! The nausea has improved a lot but I still have to eat frequently. I’ve had a lot of headaches the last 2 weeks which are really wearing on me! It’s beautiful out today though and I’m looking forward to spending some time outside!

How is everyone else doing?

 

[mikihope]

TTC- That’s a clear second line. Fx for you!

Ask- How wonderful, you’re already in the second trimester! I’m glad your nausea is getting less.

Rain- Hooray for small victories in potty training! I’m not looking forward to that, but 1) it will be some time before I’ll have to worry about that 2) I only have one baby! Thanks for your support, I do feel so much better. I’m with you, being drunk most of the time does sound tempting.

Wish- Thank you so much. I definitely have bounced back and am back to my former cheerful self. It is wonderful to see that gummy has a ridiculously cheerful personality, I think it’s because DH and I laugh and joke around so much. We both have silly and jokey personalities, and gummy is now following in our footsteps. My sister remarked that he is very chatty, just like his parents I think that if I had continued down the road of trying to get BF to work, he would have been exposed to a far grumpier and less jokey version of me, and it would have had an adverse effect on him. It’s so nice that we’re getting to enjoy each other, and he makes me laugh a zillion times a day!
Sounds like you’re adapting as you go along, and you’re doing as well as can be expected. It’s hard when they’re newborns! Do you think maybe T is cluster feeding? It could be that he is getting enough after all. I know that gummy isn’t getting enough because I weigh him before and after, but if I didn’t weigh him, I wouldn’t be able to tell if he was just being greedy or being inefficient. Glad you’re enjoying your twins’ development. Isn’t it amazing how much they change just day to day? I'm loving it

Hi Eema, and good luck!

 

[TTC74]

Feeling a little calmer today. Three days ago on top. Today on bottom. I wish it was progressing a little more quickly but I’ve read from reputable sites that boys have a slower doubling rate. Eek! I’m team blue this go around anyway!
