General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[shaescott]

Gigs yikes that’s scary. Good vibes that everything is okay with you. I’m so sorry about your dad. Congrats to your bro and SIL!

Cupcake I would imagine that starting progesterone would cause an increase in temperature. A quick search on progesterone side effects does not include your side effects, so it’s probably not the progesterone causing those, BUT it’s always possible since everyone reacts differently to meds.

Dobs sorry about the issues with your class. Glad you’re fighting the decision and telling them to give him the speech therapy or else you’ll sue their asses.

AFM I’m super stressed, I don’t remember being this stressed last semester. I’ve got so much shit to do and not enough time to do it. My pathopharmacology professor is going way faster this semester and I can’t keep up with the slides while taking notes, I end up 5 slides behind by the end of class. She was fast before but I was able to stay within 1 slide of her before. I have an exam this afternoon for that class and I am not at all ready.

Here’s my chart so far, what do you all think?

 

[shaescott]

Cupcake well you haven’t dropped below coverline so that’s a good sign. I would take a test, at 13dpo the results are pretty accurate.

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs praying for you and your dad. I can't imagine how hard it is to have all this on you at once I hope you get some more good news soon.

Yay for bro and SIL. I pray they have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Shae oh no! Yeah holding babies once I had baby fever only made it worse lol labor and delivery scared me about having kids though.

Could you use some sort of recorder so you could catch up with note taking?

Dobby that is a load of crap!! I'm glad you are fighting their decision!

Oh man sounds like the kids learned their behaviour from their parents. I mean expecting an email response at midnight?! Wow! Ugh, I hope they get better as the year goes on. I seriously don't have the patience for what you do, you are amazing!

Cupcake could be progesterone. I'd take a test. At this point it should accurate especially if it's a early test like a frer. Good luck!

Will post pics soon.

All my recent before pics, my hair is pulled back so my before pic is from 2 months ago. I really like the cut and color. Thinking of changing hair stylists mainly for convienance.

 

[CupcakeGirl2]

I’m nervous to test! AF should be due tomorrow or Saturday.

 

[kittykat7210]

Think this classes as a dye stealer...

 

[CupcakeGirl2]

Not sure what to think!? There’s a very faint second line!!

 

[CupcakeGirl2]

Do you see it?! My boyfriend says he sees it! It’s super obvious in person but hard to get in a photo

 

[shaescott]

CB I can catch up on the slides, I just hate having to do it after class lol. Delivery doesn’t scare me, surprisingly enough. I feel like my body is capable of more than I realize and if something goes wrong we’ll deal with it as it comes. What does scare me is totally messing up my kid.

Flueks I love the new ‘do! Very sophisticated.

Kitty wow that test is strong!!

Cupcake I definitely see the faint line! You’ll definitely want to test in 24-48 hours to see if the line darkens.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Kitty - Yay!!! Congrats!!!

Keeps - Those pics are so sweet. Really hoping I can do something like that with SO and the kids one day.

Flueky - Yay for S's weight gain and and crawling and "speaking". And lookin' good with your new 'do.

CB - FX the job hunt goes well. I'm like 99.9% sure I'm not going back to my current job after mat leave, but I have no idea what I'd like to do.

Dobby - Good job with the weight loss and shorter cycle. That sucks about A getting denied. Hopefully this won't be another court battle for you. Just gonna keep my FX.

Gigs - So sorry to hear about your dad. I don't even know what to say. :/

Cupcake - I THINK I see a line too. FX!

AFM, I've stopped taking the low dose of Aspirin the MW suggested and I've noticed more tingling in my hands and my ankles were hella swollen on Tuesday night. I can still feel some tightness at times, so I guess I just better watch my sodium and elevate my feet whenever I can. My BP was still normal at my appt today, so that's good. I also did my GBS swab, so FX I'm negative this time. And I got a bag of home birth essentials (pee pads, saline, paperwork, etc.). Pretty soon I'll be going through all of Alex's old baby clothes and washing all the fabric bits of the bouncy seat and swing and bassinet, so this is getting super real and close.
In other news, the new washer and dryer are getting delivered to SO's on Oct 2, thank F!

 

[CupcakeGirl2]

Ugh my temp dipped way low today and BFN this morning so I think I’m out. I’m 14 DPO today.

 

[shaescott]

Cupcake based on the faint bfp yesterday, you may have had a chemical pregnancy. I was concerned about the line being so faint at 13 dpo. I really think it was there, though. So a chemical pregnancy is a possibility.

Pretty it’s the final countdown of the last few weeks, huh? Hopefully you’re GBS negative!

AFM I saw a c-section in clinical today! Baby was healthy and perfect, dad was totally smitten with baby immediately (mom was hemorrhaging a bit so couldn’t hold baby). I hope I get to see a vaginal birth, though.

Ugh! It’s BFN today too but my chart temp is still high so I’m all sorts of confused

 

[shaescott]

Cupcake a bfn at 15 dpo is not a good sign, to be honest with you. The progesterone may prevent you from getting your period. Since you’re seeing a fertility specialist, please ask them. We are not specialists lol

 

[CupcakeGirl2]

I have the worst migraine of my life! No period still, and no cramps, no nothing but a migraine and sore boobs and fatigue ‍

 

[shaescott]

Cupcake I get migraines all the time so idk. Considering you have a bfn, I don’t think you’re pregnant.

I’m so confused, here’s my chart

 

[DobbyForever]

I second Shae. Ask your doctor. Progesterone can keep your temps up and delay your period without being pregnant, but we’re really not the experts here nor can we run the appropriate diagnostics online that they can do. Wishing you all the best.

 

[wookie130]

Kitty!!!! I knew I saw something on that first test, and now look at those blazing bfp's!!! Congrats, sweetie. I pray this bean is nice and sticky!!!

Gigs...I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope things start going better for you on the homeschool front. That can't be easy.

Flueks- Your hair is pretty...that color is nice!

Keeps- I was cracking up at your daughter twirling without knickers!!!! Sounds like my life! Haha!!! You have a beautiful family...those pics are amazing.

Dobs- Kaiser denying SLP services to A based on his autistic behaviors makes zero sense. Many self-injurious and inappropriate behaviors ARE communication, and if A had a way to communicate, he may not need to resort to acting out, etc. Seems like they've got it entirely backwards. How frustrating!!!
