Getting Fit Before Baby

[mrs.green2015]

Cupcake- you go girl! That sounds hard but totally worth it in the end!

Fern- that's amazing about the woman who does the blog! I hope we're all as lucky as her to have beautiful babies soon!

Irym- your chart looks amazing! How do you feel about this cycle?


Thank you ladies for your support. My doc wants me to give it one more cycle with opks and temping and If something is off still then go in and get some test. Good news though! Hubs is on board for full Ttc this month!!!!

Cupcake - Well! That workout is definitely not for me! lol. I can't do any high impact exercise at the risk of causing further damage to an old foot injury, sooo it looks like I'll have to keep searching for new workout routines.

It sounds like it will really get you in shape, though! GL!

Fern - Quintuplets! Holy moly. I think I would go into panic mode over that. Hahaha.

My mood is less irritable, but today I'm sleepy. I have no motivation to get anything done, just want to stay curled up on the couch or better yet - take a nap! lol. I'm still DOING stuff, I just really wish I didn't have to. Haha

Woke up with a minor headache today, not sure what that was about. Sinus issues, most likely, as my allergies have been going crazy lately.

Not really any symptoms that seem out of the ordinary or anything, so I don't have much to report. Just a nice temp spike back up after a short, small dip the past couple of days. That's also nothing new for me. I have a dip every cycle. It's just that this one was relatively small.

I'm not a "jumper" either since I have had a torn meniscus in the past, but they have a modifier chic on there too for people like me! She's kinda thick, so that made me feel worse that I couldn't keep up lol But taking it a day at a time....I'll get there!

In my cleaning frenzy I got out the tote of assorted baby stuff I've bought or been given over the past 3-4 years.....*sigh Decided to give some clothes, diapers & toiletry items to a friend who's having a girl in April. Won't lie, tears were shed but I kept the "special" stuff. No worries I still have more than enough to get us started when we get our THB. Figured the stuff may dry rot if I just left it there lol Plus, I can always buy more! I told dh what I had done & all he says was "Lord willing we will have our little one one day...." Talking about ripping my heart out! I do think part of my journey is teaching me about relinquishing control & just letting God work in His time....Just learning not to harbor all the pain & sadness is a big step for me!

In other news, I'm wondering if the Clomid is still lingering? My BBs & Nips are SO sore & tender & my back has been aching the last few days (before the workout, but worse now!) Hoping it's not a uti brewing!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Cupcake- how many dpo are you? And I'm hoping its not a uti! Those are Soo painful and awful!

I feel pretty positive about this cycle. We used PreSeed every time we BD'd, and since I'm pretty sure that CM was part of my problem (I can make TONS of non-fertile, but no ewcm!), I'm really hopeful that it would have helped the little sperms get in there where they need to go!


Good to hear that your DH is on board for TTC this month! It's so much easier that way, instead of us gals being the only ones trying to keep BDing on a schedule. lol.

GOOD LUCK!

Hello gals

Fern: That blog sounds so hopeful! Although I'm not wishing for quintuplets, it IS good news! I'm glad you're looking forward to April and future months (if need be) ttc. I have fingers and toes crossed!

Cupcake: You'll be in shape soon from the sounds of those workouts. I'm sorry you had a rough time with the baby items but glad you're feeling a little positive with God working out His plan.

Mrs. G: Yay for all on board! I'm hoping your cycle at least starts to settle back in place so you have a fair shot each month

IRYM: Eee I can't wait! I've read so many reviews with preseed and recall you had used it the month you had gotten pregnant previously. Fx'd it works

AFM: I'm glad to hear some of you have gone through the same scan I went through...a little worried about the pain factor though. I called the doctor office and they confirmed the results are in so I know we'll be good to go for talking about them on Monday! Ahhh, hurry up Monday!!

 

[swimmyj1]

Ursaula - interested to hear about your results, I'm sorry the test caused you so much pain. I'm still on the fence if I want to find out or not. DH really does but I like the idea of a surprise.

Irym - I loved preseed we used it (I don't really get ewcm either) and I'll admit sometimes I even still use it hahaha. Hope you have some good luck!!

 

[Fern81]

Holy moly I'm in shock right now.

I tested this morning 11 dpo just because I got bought 4 cheap tests yesterday. 3,5 hour hold, smu. I was very cheerful and totally expected bfn (c'mon, an 11 dpo test and smu AND no real chance of anything!)

Well I got a light pink second line within the 10 minute timeframe!

Heart pounding I raced upstairs to show my husband... he said well I don't think it's + because it's very light.

Only time will tell! I will test again tomorrow morning.

 

[Fern81]

IRYM - have you used preseed before? FX for you!! I've been the same this cycle, no obvious symptoms (no blinking red light on the navel lol).

MrsGreen - I think trying a natural cycle before starting fertility meds actually sounds good... fertility meds are great if really needed but they also come with a whole bunch of unpleasant side effects. E.g after taking clomid for 8 cycles after being misdiagnosed with anovulation, I picked up a LOT of weight which I'm really struggling to lose. Before clomid the weight just fell off as soon as I started to diet (I easily lost weight to where I weighed 52kg on my wedding day 2 years ago). However, those side effects are of course worth it if it brings home Baby.
So glad your hubs is on board. And I really recommend B6 & B complex... at therapeutic dosage it has no side effects except making you feel a bit more energized & has really helped a LOT of women with LP defects. I don't have a short LP but always had lots of spotting and the B6 does help to minimize it. It can only do good, if you do decide to take it. I have a whole list of other supplements and what they are good for if anyone is interested lol.

Urs - OK now we're all keeping our eyes peeled for your news tomorrow morning. Whatever it is, we will all help you through it! Of course it's very probably something fixable, hopefully easily fixable. xx

Cupcake - aaahhhhh the emotional stuff is so hard to deal with right. Not having that hoped-for baby is NOT like not getting a PSwhatever for Christmas.... its's PROFOUND and life changing. One day at a time hun. And of course I hope you definitely get your sticky THB very soon.
On the sore boobs front - maybe your body is getting ready to ovulate? When I took one break from clomid last year my bbs and nips were sore for a day or so before O. Refresh my memory - did you take clomid this cycle?

Aaahhhh girls I don't want to hope.... but I do!
I've had almost no obvious "PREGNANCY" symptoms and very few progesterone symptoms compared to other cycles.
Very moody in the first few days, tired after that. Bbs barely sore at all, only starting to get a bit sore last night/today. Nips were very uncomfortable in the first few days of tww though, horrible itching tingling. For the past few days I've been really bloated and constipated which NEVER happens. (I've had my gallbladder removed so actually have a problem with diarrhea... TMI I know).

Pleeeeaaaaasssseeee let that pink line not be a fluke!

 

[cupcakestoy]

I'm CD 12, should O in next 2 days or so. Mt BBs have been sore the whole time, no better no worse.... I'm not on clomid this cycle. Thinking my hormones are jacked up.....I was checking cp last night, high closed & mostly firm, but had a speck of brown & red cm ? Who knows?
FERN!!!!! Omg!!! I want to see line porn! Praying this is IT for you! A line is a line girl! Update soon!

 

[Fern81]

Cupcake - thanks for the support! Unfortunately I can't post a pic. I took a pic with the test still in the casing but my phone was struggling to zoom& focus with that thick casing window in the way. And as I was attempting to remove the casing, my uber long nails tore across the test strip. I suppose I was shaking a bit.

If I get something tomorrow I will do my best to post it and maybe post the pic I have with the test in the casing too.

Well just an hour later reality set in and I realized I'm just being silly. I'm not pregnant, how could I be. I fully expect to get bfn tomorrow, I will be OK, our hopes are set on April!

Weird that your bbs are still sore! Did you ever do a hpt at the end of your last cycle?

 

[ireadyermind]

Fern, a line is a line! It doesn't matter if it's dark or not. Don't talk yourself out of your happiness! The line wouldn't show if there wasn't enough HCG in your system to mean you're pregnant.

And for crying out loud, don't try to open the casing tomorrow! lol. Just take multiple pics in different lights and see if your phone can focus. We want to obsess over it with you!

 

[cupcakestoy]

Put a ring or paper clip on test to getter better focus too!

 

[Fern81]

Lol I hope there is actually something to photograph tomorrow. It was definitely fainter than the line I had last year in December. Part of the line was also darker than the rest? IDK.

Thanks you ladies for being so caring xx

Caring, and probably a little obsessive.

 

[ireadyermind]

I'm back again! But I just wanted to post about something that just happened and get your gals' opinions on it.

It's about noon here. Anyway, I ate a late breakfast and was going around cleaning house, and I felt like I had some food stuck between two of my molars. That happens a lot, because the dentist who did work on one of those molars left such a humongous gap between the repaired/crowned molar and the intact one, even soft foods get wedged in there and I have to floss several times a day.


Anyway!


I went to get whatever it was out from between those two teeth, just using the tip of my tongue, and my gums started bleeding like crazy! This doesn't even happen when I'm aggressively flossing that part of my mouth. I had to spend a few minutes over the bathroom sink rinsing and rinsing and rinsing because there was so much. Gross.

Do you gals have issues with your gums as a PMS symptom? Does anyone know if it's hormone related?

It's certainly not a regular occurrence for me -- unless my memory is currently choosing to ignore past instances of this happening. lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

Fern- a line is a line!! If you got a line you're pregnant! Congrats! Show us tomorrow.


Irym- I've read that's a pregnancy symptom. Keeping my fx for you. When are you testing?

 

[ireadyermind]

Mrs.Green - Probably tomorrow, I'm not sure yet. I wanted to test today and convinced myself not to. It's too early yet, I think.

I did feel some sharp little pains in my abdomen/ovary areas last night. Possible implantation? If it was, a BFP wouldn't show for 48hrs so I might have to wait til Monday.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Irym- very exciting. Can't wait to look!

 

[swimmyj1]

Fern I cant wait to see if this is really it!! My fingers are crossed!! Oooohhh so excited lol

 

[cupcakestoy]

Bfn end of last cycle....I'm sure its just crazy hormones from the meds, especially since I had a lille more spotting today.... Yep, my body hates me for all I've put it through! LoL
Impatiently waiting on our testers!!!! LoL
