Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[colta]

Mail - Love the pic! And congrats on 28 weeks... that is awesome! Sorry you're feeling icky though... but I'm sure once you have your munchkin in your arms it'll be totally worth it.

AFM - Well, I'm 8dpo today... and I've been symptom spotting like mad. *hangs head in shame*
The past few nights I can barely sleep... I toss and turn constantly and have been having crazy vivid/scary dreams that make me feel like I haven't gotten any rest whatsoever in the mornings. I woke up at 5:30 this morning feeling like my bladder was going to explode and again at 9 with the same thing. (Which is unusual for me. I've had a lot of twinges on my right side and a very full/bloated feeling in my abdomen.
My temp has been on steady rise as well... I'll put a link to my chart if anyone is curious. My Ovulation Chart

Now... having said all this, more than likely I'm going crazy, I'm not pregnant and I'm just driving myself insane... but if I didn't, who would keep ya'll entertained?

 

[baby_bray]

Aw, mailccm...love hearing about milestones, but bummed to hear you're so uncomfortable... I hope Finn finds a more comfy spot to settle...

your chart looks great colta! 8dpo already, yay. SS spot away, it's kinda fun isn't it? are you gonna test or wait it out?

 

[moter98]

Yeah the dr was really happy at our appointment. 28wks today!! And I am ecstatic. Never dreamed I would make it this far.

That being said I have not been feeling well. I don't know if I its because the baby is sitting breech or if I am gonna feel icky till the end. I am pretty sure the lightening bolt cramp right between my legs is Finn kicking straight down. And the broken rib pain is definitely his head. But I have been nauseous and having lots of Bh but so far no pattern to them. Don't even want to think about my lower back pain.

Happy 28 Weeks Mail! Bet you're doing the happy dance, lol
Are babies not typically breech at 28 weeks, like are they still able to flip and roll around in there? Hope he switches position for you. Must be very uncomfortable. Maybe the nausea is somehow related. If his head is pushing on your insides or something. I've been getting lots of BH too. They started early, same as with ds. they come at all different times too. I usually get a few close together, start to worry, then it goes away. and it's never the uterus, just portions and usually lower. last night i had one just on my right side. my stomach was all lopsided, freaked me out!

 

[mailcmm]

Colta... I so hope this is it for you!!

Thanks for all well wishes.

Moter... He can still flip we have til 32 weeks for him to flip then the chances start getting lower. Unfortunately since he is large there's not a lot of room for him to flip. Keep thinking... Am I gonna feel it? Lol for now I can tell he is still breech. I think he flipped breech one night when movement was at an all time high. The next day bam my rib hurts. He also looked so comfy. I am gonna ask the dr in 2 weeks if my bad pelvic bones could have something to do with it. Just before ttc I was having some back problems looked into and the X-ray showed they are out of alignment. The more I ponder that the more I wonder. Could be.

Mail- I hope Finn flips for you! My Dr. said they can flip up until 37 weeks, then it becomes less likely, but I agree with you that since he is big the longer he waits the less likely it is that he will flip. I knew the whole time that Liam was still breech, because I could feel is head up under my ribs, so I think you will know if he flips (you will probably be able to breath again!). I strongly believe that Liam was breech for a reason (I think he was too large to fit through my pelvis and I think if he would have turned he would have got wrapped in his cord). So think of it this way, Finn will do what is best for him, if he stays breech, there is likely a reason for that position, and a c-section may be the best way for him to come out. So while I COMPLETELY understand being frightened of the c-section, just think of it as your way of doing what is best for you adorable little baby

 

[mailcmm]

I agree and will fo whatever the dr thinks is best. Lol ill likely just stress over it until its over. How liam doing? Love seeing the pictures on fb. Hes a cutie.

All the facebook talk I'll throw my name out there too if we've got a little group

Well... since I can continue symptom spotting... I will.

Was woken up once again this morning by the need to pee... which is annoying. But whatev's... the big thing this morning was my temp.

It's gone up even more today. It went from 98.31 yesterday to 98.55... which looks like a bigger jump when you do it in celcius.... Anywho, taking a gander through my previous charts, the only times I've ever gone higher than 98.42 has been when I was pregnant or was in the middle of a heat wave in the summer. So.... maybe??

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I really really hope this is it.

 

[mailcmm]

Colts looked at your chart before reading your post and was gonna say how promising it looks. I hope this is it!!! Can't wait for you to test.


Afm.... Did some research and I think Finn is going to remain breech. I was diagnosed with a misaligned pelvis by a chiropractor a couple years before ttc. I saw him for a year and then he referred me to a surgeon because he could not get it to stay in alignment. I used to be able to adjust it my self by laying on my back and bending my knees. Then I would slowly lower my right leg all the way to the bed and it would pop. I haven't been able to do that in weeks. According to the pregancy assoc misaligned pelvis is a good reason for a baby to be breech. They suggest seeing a chiropractor but I know that wont help for more then two days at a time because I've done that. Lol they say that the misalignment makes it impossible for the baby to settle comfortably in the pelvis. I think this problem occurred due to the fact that both of my prior deliveries were posterior but haven't found a correlation yet. So I guess I need to just focus on being ready for my c section. Lol damn

 

[baby_bray]

Don't count yourself out yet mail! Look at all the amazing things your body has done so far! You're building a person!! You created a totally *new* organ, the placenta, basically from nothing! Everything about the pregnancy process is absolutely amazing to me!

colta I came to check the thread and as I scrolled down I peeked at your chart and thought it looks so promising. And you had a nice little dip in there too, implantation maybe? I hope so!

 

[moter98]

colta! your chart looks amazing. hope this is it!

mail, is it possible to get to the chiropractor and then do exercises at home to keep it in alignment? maybe see a physical therapist? my mom does that for her neck, but it may not be the same thing.

afm - woke up to 20 emails on my iphone from dh. the internet went out apparently and he blames the new apple tv i bought 2 weeks ago. hmmm, wonder why it would work for 2 weeks then? my computer was working fine when i went to bed. woke up this morning, no network even detected! so i look at our router's settings and DH had changed everything and he had no idea what he was doing. had to reset it and start over. not a fun start to my day lol! gonna have to tell him to wake me up next time. i bet it was something simple to fix on his computer too. (He just got a new one)

 

[colta]

I hope this chart works out to be as good as you guys think it might... I can't help but admit that it does look good, but I'm still not too sure.
For the most part my 'symptoms' have kinda eased off, or I'm just getting used to them.
I'm hungry, still having trouble sleeping (although I slept better last night than I have the past 3 nights). I get little 'niggling' feelings in my abdomen every now and again... not really sure what to make of them, not even sure how to describe them... just weird little 'feelings'... ah well.
But yeah... so I dunno.
I'm hoping my temps continue to stay up and be good... I won't be testing for another 3 days at the very least, so they have plenty of time to disappoint me.

And baby_bray... do you think it might be an implantation dip? It's kinda early in the cycle, isn't it?

 

[baby_bray]

Could be, you never know! I didn't temp the cycle we conceived but I use the FF app to keep track of BDing and making some notes. I had a pulling sensation/runner's stitch feeling almost like rib pain around 5DPO then brown/tan/pink CM @7DPO. I though I was totally out because I had the same thing the cycle before starting @6DPO up until AF visited.
Ended up with a BFP with 2nd morning urine @10DPO, I even walked away because it was still so white and went and put together a bowl of cereal or something and checked back just for the heck of it. I don't even know what made me test a second time that day, it felt like such a crappy cycle...
I'm still sort of in disbelief lol

 

[moter98]

i got mine at 8dpo! stark white that morning but the test dried positive so i took a frer that afternoon and it was positive. that cycle i had no dips below coverline. every other cycle i would get one or dips below the coverline. here's a link to my bfp chart. i did have temps raise too when they normally didn't

[mailcmm]

Bray... Thanks. I hope he flips but after all I read I would have to get my pelvis aligned.

Moter.. That's what I was doing, chiropractor 3 times weekly and excersize to strengthen the muscles. While my pain got better the chiropractor after a year said that it just wouldn't align and said there may be an underlying condition. So he sent me to the dr who did an X-ray and sent me to a neuro surgeon to look for pinched nerves and get a better look at my spinal arthritis. The neurosurgeon ordered a MRI but the idiots didn't do my pelvis so he ordered another and reffered me to a orthopedic specialist because he cant fix bones. I got my first bfp the day before my appointment and cancelled. Since I have been pregnant they ordered physical therapy but insurance won't cover it and they want $175 per visit and I wold need to go twice a week. Too pricey. I am gonna talk to the dr at my next apt and see what he thinks. Chiropractor isn't covered by insurance either and it was $150 per week for 3 visits and it didn't work. So my theory is if the pelvis won't stay aligned he will stay breech. And if that's the case I wil save my pennies and stuck it up and get a csection. I am not breast feeding so maybe they can give me something to make me loopy. I just never dreamed it could possibly cause a problem other then pain. He may flip for all I know but I am not counting on it. I just have a feeling he is staying this way. Would be par for the course with this pregnancy. Lol. Sucks about your network. I know what a pain that can be.

Colta.... I got my bfp at like 6dpo. Lol I really like the way your chart looks. Fxd for you girl.

 

[moter98]

that all sounds so complicated mail! i hope he flips somehow and gives you a break. like you don't have enough pain with all then not being aligned in the first place. what we do for our babies.

 

[colta]

Mail - That sounds nuts... I hope your munchkin decides to flip his cute lil butt around.

AFM - I do believe I will test tomorrow... so long as my temp stays up. I'll be letting ya'll know how it goes. It'd be nice to get an early BFP for once... it'd certainly make me feel a whole lot better about my chances.

Anyway, wish me luck ladies... I'm off to the wild green yonder!
