Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[Grey Eyes]

Well, I did manage to get some stuff done--I surprised myself this evening, dh had the girls entertained so I sneaked off and managed to take a shower, wash dinner dishes, put away left overs, clean up the kitchen, do a load of laundry and get another one ready, let the dog out, cover the garden (it frosts still), and all in a half-hour I am proud of myself, lol.

Now I am gonna get eady for bed- just as you are getting up Laura no doubt! It is 10 minutes past midnight here so I am guessing about 7 in the morning your time??

 

[Grey Eyes]

Um, 40 dsys left on my ticker, time to start taking bets as to when Beanie will be arriving & whether naturally or via induction/ c section!!

Gotta sleep on it and think about it, hmmmm... I'll come up with a prediction in the morning!

 

[lauraemily17]

I so need to learn to Br that efficient Coy!! I think it comes with being a Mommy as my Mum is just the same. She's coming round mine next week to do some spring cleaning & I intend to pay far closer attention then when I did when I lived at home all those years ago!!!

First bit of good news for the day, Beanie is head down!!! I felt some very weird movements this morning & wondered if he'd moved. I'm just hoping he stays there now. I'm currently hooked up to a fetal monitor & he's moving all over, probably trying to escape it the little rascal but still keeping his head down thankfully!!

 

[SpudsMama]

Just saw your status on FB Laura, great news! As for predictions, I'll say he'll be born vaginally, but via induction. I think he'll be early though, maybe by a week or two, no more than that. I'm just making it up as I type though so don't place much trust in what I say xx

Laura-Hope all goes well for you.

Shadra-Thanks. I hope i pass. DH is a pretty good swimmer but me on the other hand, I know the basics but i just got to build my endurance. The test will be in an Olympic size pool and they said its deeper than 8ft im just getting use to 6 ft

Coy-wow you are one super woman i must say. You get alot done.

Emma & Steph-How are you?

AFM, im on cd16 and my temp is 97.42. Its not a major temp rise but atleast it rose. Just got to wait and see what the next 2 days worth of temps are looking like. TBH, im in between about wanting to be pregnant. I mean I would love to get pregnant because we have been trying so long and hard but at the same time, if i do get pregnant, I will be delayed in the Navy enlistment process. Our recruiter and the rest of his team are making sure we are both processed together and at the same time so if i do get pregnant its like all the hard work was done for nothing. Now im not saying I wouldnt be happy if I do get pregnant but i just think it would be a little harder to get our paperwork etc together if we end up enlisting at different times. So as you can see im back and forth with wanting to be pregnant and wanting a pregnancy to come after we are enlisted. But at the end of the day, its whatever God decides. So if we conceive now, then obviously he has a plan for us and we will make it through no matter what. TTC wise, this morning, I had alot of creamy cm. So im thinking ov was yesterday. I have no more dull cramping and its back to normal. The only thing is, I woke up with a headache this morning but i think its just from being very exhausted. And yesterday, my uterus area was very sensitive. Dont know why but it felt as if it was thin or very fragile. Never had felt that before so that was a first and I felt that throughout the whole day. Well on the bright side im 1dpo finally so let the countdown begin.

 

[lauraemily17]

Thanks Emma. Home now, yay!!! I'm in labetalol which is a beta blocker. It's taken double the starting dose to get my blood pressure down. I was hoping us get through life without needing beta blockers but with my family history of blood pressure probs it was never really likely. Just hope I can get off them after Beanies born. There's a few possible side affects for babies but they're rare & it's worse for him I think if u don't take them.

Plan now is more detailed test of urine as it's still showing protein in it & midwife to check blood pressure again in a few days, then back to hospital for more BP, blood & urine checks after my scan next Tuesday. The Dr thinks it may just be pregnancy related high blood pressure rather than pre-eclampsia which follow up tests should confirm, if it is I'm more likely to make it to term but, (my favourite bit) they won't let ne go over due now i'm on meds! I would have really hated it if I ended up going over but now I know fit certain in 5 weeks & 5 days I'll either have my little boy or be in labour!!

 

[mzswizz]

yay so happy for you Laura. Atleast everything is working itself out. See i told you everything will work out.

AFM, just got back home from an interview for the same job i have now except it will be full time. In the meantime of us not being in the military, i want us to start saving up so thats why im hoping to get this job so by the time we are shipped out to Chicago to do boot camp, we will have a good amount saved up so we wont have no worries.

 

[mzswizz]

soooo i was on FF and decided to change the settings on the fertility analyzer to just the opk/ov watch detector because i dont really check my cm often and i dont really put any specific signs or symptoms so i just base it off of temps and opk. And well lo and behold with that setting, it changed my chart and it has me at 1dpo and have the vertical line stating that ov day was cd15 but it just didnt do a CL yet so yayyyyy

 

[lauraemily17]

I've played around with that setting & it won't give you a cover line it just sets o day as the day of a positive opk. As frustrating as it it is best to wait the 3 days after 0 where there's enough temps to confirm. Your temp rise is fine, mine took a couple if days to increase enough to be 100% certain of O. With your smiley & temp drop I'm sure you've def o'd this time.

 

[SpudsMama]

Patrice, you just know you're going to be pregnant now you're not sure whether it's good timing or not

Laura, I'm so jealous that you're guaranteed to not go overdue!! I'm convinced Phoebe will be late Rubbish time-keeping runs in the family xx

 

[mzswizz]

i think i will get the coverline once im 3dpo. I have no problem waiting for that but i was just surprised that it confirmed it as being cd15 so i am happy to say the least that I did ovulate this cycle Also, from looking at march chart (i o'd that cycle) and comparing it to my current cycle, my current cycle had a massive dip for ov compared to the march cycle and just like march's cycle the rise wasnt a massive one but it was a rise and 2 and 3 dpo were the higher ones so i think that is whats going to happen. Just got to wait and see if im right but im glad to see that i o'd yesterday.

Emma-tbh it would be a shock if i do get pregnant If i do...then i will prove those people who said "dont think about it and it will happen" right which im hoping wont happen Its pretty much a wait game now. Im just happy to be in the tww for once now

 

[lauraemily17]

Maybe you should count to 2 weeks after your due date so anything earlier is a bonus?!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hi ladies!

Laura- glad you are home now! My prediciton...I am thinking he will come naturally and about 3-4 days early. Because he seems so active and dislikes the monitor, etc, I am guessing he's gonna want to come out soon He's head down and getting ready!

Patrice- I think you'll get prego this time round because now you want something else and that's just the way kids are What about if you are prego, maybe dh stays off enlisting until you can both enlist together? It would only be a metter of a few more months and would ensure you stay together after enlistment/

Shradha- how are you today?

Steph- you're MIA!

Emma- lol, Phoebe is playing the bongos on your rubs, eh? Get used to it, she's gonna be a sprawleri

Ashley- also MIA!

 

[Grey Eyes]

AFM- woke up with terrible aches and pains this morning and a headache to boot...I am thinking I slept wrong again? So what do I do? Don my workout gear, flip on a backwards hat, and go out in the back yard for a workout I used my weight-bar this time, that way my lunges, squats, and bowties are a bit more effective. Yeah. Now my legs hurt too lol. Gona have to stretch it out on dh's splits machine.

Bump is growing, at least it feels like it. It must be - dh keeps rubbing it, and saying "o my God, what's gonna happen to you later?" I always tell him "It's just gonna keep getting bigger" lol.

Today I have planned: school, housecleaning, gotta cut the grass again in the yard , and not sure what else will c ome up. But first, I think I may have a mug of hot tea and toast. I am a bit more relaxed about the caffeine now and allow myself a half cup every other day or so ......

 

[mzswizz]

Coy-i have a feeling this may be it too which frightens me a little just because we have waited all this time and when it actually happens it eill be surreal. And i think dh can still just enlist but i would just wait it out. Either way, they should know we are married so atleast i will be able to just go right back to the base he is stationed at with no problem seeing as though we were married before we enlisted. I think its gets more complicated if we would've gotten married while enlisted.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I went ahead and colored my hair the other day, so YAY! I am back to brown hair For some reason even the slightest bit of sunshine has me bleaching out. My 7 year old popped off the other day that I should dye my hair blond like all the beautiful women and dh got mad at her lol. He said I had beautiful hair and didn't need to change anything Sweet Lol, my girls

I did call my doc and ask forst and he said "you should be fine. Just follow the instructions on the box".

...............................................................................

I gues he should realize I was asking from the viewpoint of pregnancy, not on how to properly perform the coloring act

Well, keep an "eye" on things, I worry it may have been your waters! Sounds like a typical water-breaking story to me No pains or cramps??

Lol, I haven't taken any pics yet, but dh reassured me it's not "chunky" or patchy I do it myself (I don't trust hairdressers :shrug) so it's always risky
