long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[MommyDream]

Yes! And Bex was just a few days before too!

 

[Diddums]

Here's hoping same happens to me

 

[foquita]

me three katya!

that's actually really spooky that you all conceived around the same time then had your babies a day before the due date!

Congrats Rachel! Cant wait for piccies!!!

Yes Emma was born a few days early, at 39 + 4. I did some reading about late babies etc, and one theory about "overdue" babies is that some people just do not know exactly when they ovulate. We here seem to know EXACTLY when we ovulate so our dates are VERY accurate

 

[cmwilson]

That means this week could be my week! YIKES!

 

[seabean]

Congrats Rachel!!! I can't wait to see pics and hear all about her!!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Congratulations Rachel! Hope you and your little girl are both well

I thought I was over being sick. Apparently not. Was trying to clean the bathroom and threw up bile mixed with stomach acid. Not pleasant. At least it means baby is doing well. Only 4 days until my 12+2 scan

 

[raventtc]

pretty sure i am out again, all signs have been pointing at af showing up execpt my chart and now it looks like she is coming too....got the normal af headaches a few days ago, then started spotting red....and this am when i went to the bathroom it sure looked like she came...no flow as of rightnow just sort of spotting but I already know that I am out -- and will keep trying a few more cycles but that is all --

rachel soo glad to hear your little one is here! and love love the name

Raven - sorry about possible AF. Are you going to try anything different next cycle if it comes?

Katya - sucks about the continued morning sickness, bleh.

I had a regular check-up today and urine, blood pressure, weight, heartbeat, belly measurement, etc are all great! I was sure I had gained some weight b/c my ass feels girnormous lately, but I've only gained 1 pound in the past month...I'm not sure how that's even possible!? Maybe my body is shifting fat around from other places to store it in my butt and thighs. Anyone else feel like they were gaining weight in particular spots more than others?

 

[raventtc]

gotta wait to hear back from the doctor and go get another ultrasound then we may start some med's so if this is af....hopefully i can get that all done and get med's started soon for the next cycle

 

[Diddums]

Raven sorry about AF. Hopefully you can start meds in the next couple cycles. Will you be using Femara or clomid?

Dee glad to hear everything went well. How much have you gained so far? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm really struggling to find meals I want to eat. Ended up with cereal and fruit salad for dinner. I also couldn't decide on a sandwich for lunch tomorrow so ended up with marmite sandwich, a yogurt and fruit/veg sticks. If nothing else I'm eating healthier

Wow, I'm late on the congrats again

A big congrats to you Rachel! The name is beautiful and I can't wait to see pics. I bet she's beautifulMy biggest baby was 8lbs 10.5oz, so I feel your pain

Dee, you mentioned your butt feeling bigger...for some reason with my boys I think my butt got a lot biggerDidn't seem to really do it with my daughter though...not sure why that is, lol. Glad to hear everything is going good

I know we'll be hearing good news from you soon, Caroline. Good luck!

 

[mrsc81]

Raven - sorry to hear you think AF is on its way, hope you can get some help from your doc next cycle

Dee - oh my goodness, my ass and thighs got so big, and they still are none of my clothes fit me, I need to lose 10lbs so I'm going to look at getting an exercise bike as we haven't got space for a treadmill.

 

[seabean]

I've gained 17 pounds so far at 28 weeks. I started at 130. With 3 months left to go still I really want to stick to the recommended weight gain which is 25-30 total. I don't really look like I've gained much except my baby bump, with the exception of my butt and thighs. Bethany, I've also heard that people gain weight differently with different genders. At least summer is basically here so I can switch to skirts/dresses and ditch these stretched out maternity skinny jeans that have been holding on for dear life!

 

[seabean]

Raven - temp is still up today! Any further signs of AF at all??

 

[mrsc81]

I started at 119lbs and gained 40/42lbs Im still about 138lbs, but im just aiming to lose 10lbs

 

[Diddums]

Woop woop I am officially 12 weeks today! Can't wait to see baby in two days

I haven't gained anything so far, which is fab as I'm very fluffy to begin with, and guidelines say I should only gain about 15/20lbs xxx

Congrats Katya! I also didn't gain anything in the first trimester. Actually lost 5 lb. Food smelled horrible to me for about a month and it was hard to find stuff I could eat. My appetite came back with a vengeance around 14 weeks, just in time for the vacation we went on

 

[mrsc81]

Happy 12 weeks
