October Sticky Beans!

[mrscletus]

I went to my doctor today. She is testing my thyroid to see if it is functioning okay. I've never had a bad test but figured it has been a couple years so it was worth checking.

Glad to hear the doc is being pro-active, don't want anything to be going on with your thyroid tho.. fingers crossed it is functioning normally.

Well, not the results I was hoping for but with the reasoning, I'm not too upset.

C-section is scheduled for June 13.

He took all the factors into consideration (period put me June 14, ultrasounds put me June 13, 15 or 20) so he is using a due date of June 15 to base it on.

He said they are finding babies born before 39 weeks are still showing signs of being a bit more premature than they would like, so they schedule between 39-40 weeks. He is gone June 6-10; said I could do June 8-10 if I wanted but would be a different doctor. I really like this one, so decided to go with his suggested date.

The unexpected news- my blood pressure is higher than he would like (was about 136 over 86 today). He is taking over care from my doctor, and said if it is high again next Tuesday, I will need to stop work, and we will reevaluate my csection date.

 

[mrscletus]

So glad that you are happy with the date Black.. Trust me you don't want them to do it early.. It's a scary feeling when you are tied to the operating table and they preform the section and say 'whoa, this baby us early' then he had to stay in the NICU over night because his lungs weren't completely ready.

AFM- lots if EWCM today!!! Also some o pains.. It's amazing how much more I am paying attention to my body when not temping/testing..

 

[Angel5000]

Yeah, I think I am going to stay away from Google. It keeps terrifying me.

Going in today for the next set of blood work. I'm going to my PCP though because they can do lab work in the afternoon whereas my RE only does lab work in the morning and I can't keep missing work. So I probably won't get these results until tomorrow. (My RE will do labs in the morning and have results by that afternoon).

For those of you with BFPs - when did you stop temping? I've still been temping because I'm only 17DPO and was thinking I'd stop but was wondering wha others have done. It's been reassuring ot see the temps still above 98 (which is quite high for me) every morning. But they are going down by about half a degree each day for the last week and it's starting to make me paranoid (I'm still testing each morning and my Wondfo's are getting really dark so that is reassuring). I think I need to stop temping.


Krissie - good luck with the thyroid test. Is there anything in particular that made you decide to have it tested?

Black - Glad you are happy with the date. Hope your blood pressure comes down. Maybe it was just high from the stress of worrying about the date?

cupcake - Exciting that you are telling your parents but I can completely understand the fear. I keep checking my boobs to make sure they are still sore.

 

[Blackrain90]

Actually Angel that seems very accurate (along with rushing to the appt) so will see what happens next week.

I stopped temping a few days after positive. If you are being monitored and testing there isnt really any point anymore and it will stress you out lol.

Please keep people from Fort McMurray, Alberta in your thoughts and prayers today- the entire city (62K) has been evacuated due to wildfires. (I am in Central AB, and this is Northern AB).
Hundreds of homes (some entire subdivisions) have been destroyed already and it won't be under control for quite some time by the sounds of it. I can't even imagine

Krissie - good luck with the thyroid test. Is there anything in particular that made you decide to have it tested?

Because I have every symptom of having low thyroid. So I figured before I am pregnant I would rather know if I need to do anything.

Black- lovely that you have a date!! I cannot believe you and Beth will be having babies next month!!

Angel- I stopped temping about 15 dpo with my last.

mrscletus- Fx you catch that eggie!!

 

[cupcake.]

Angel, i think i stopped around 15dpo. I didn't want to add another reason for paranoia haha

And what a tragedy black 😔
But i'm glad you're happy with the date and seriously, next month! It's gone so quickly!

 

[mrscletus]

OMG krissie- new pic= totes adorable!!!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks for the congrats ladies! I am super excited! I am working on my final projects as we speak, tomorrow is my last day of classes and I now have two papers left and then I am done except for my internship! I can't believe after 7 years and a million changes in majors I am this close to finally having a degree and a career that I love! Now just to fill up this damn vehicle with babies! For some reason DH has been making more and more comments lately about how my vehicle is too large (Nissan Armada) and I keep telling him I have every intention of having enough babies to fill up that third row

Angel - The internship last from the end of August to the first week of December. It is supposed to be 4-5 months but that comes out to be more like three. Basically as long as we got our 465 hours in we are good to go! Your lines are looking amazing btw!!!

Black - like everyone else said I cannot believe it is that time already!

Krissie - I agree with cletus, noticed that new pic right away and OhMyDamn SO CUTE!

Cupcake - I'm sure it will be amazing when you tell your parents! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

 

[krissie328]

Tod- it is such a huge relief to get to that point!! You have done amazing for sure.

Thanks ladies. I am in love with that picture. I got it on the first shot when I was trying. I fell in complete love with it.

 

[Angel5000]

What a tragedy black! Keeping everyone in my prayers.

Thanks for the advice ladies, I've decided to stop temping.

Today i sent DH to the store for pickles. I desperately want salt! I've been talking about a CB with week estimator but he said he wasn't buying me any more tests (I won't but them at the local store Bc the town is so small and they lock them up and my students work there so I do t want to have them see me buying pregnancy tests). He came home with my pickles and handed me a box tests

I totally expected it to say 1-2 weekseven tho I know I'm 17dpo so that's 2-3 but didn't expect it when suddenly it popped up!

I feel some relief. I think I'm finally believing I am really pregnant!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thats great Angel!!!!! Word of caution: be careful with the salt, I craved salt so much when I was pregnant and I blew up like a hot air balloon, not fun haha.

 

[Blackrain90]

^^^What she said!!!

 

[cupcake.]

Yup angel, definitely pregnant

Well, my sore boobs are back and yesterday i felt quite queasy again for a while so i'm relieved my symptoms haven't abandoned me.
Though i must say, i wouldn't be mad if the constipation would disappear even for just a few days..

it's a bank holiday in germany today, so no work i'm getting more and more excited to tell our parents on sunday!

 

[todmommy4568]

Cupcake no work sounds awesome! Have you tried taking something for the constipation? Constipation is the worst!

Black I just saw a video from the fire on the news, it looked so scary! I'm glad that it's not near you but so sad for these people.

 

[Angel5000]

Oh yeah I'm already having issues. I am pretty bloated right now. I really need to lay off the salt. I'm at this point where I'm constantly thirsty. And I'm craving salt. Not a good combo. And exhausted. All the time. I am having trouble finishing my Masters thesis paper because I come home from work and can't stay awake! I didn't think that would kick in this soon!

Today I go see my PCP to discuss weaning off some of my meds and to get my homeocystene levels checked due to the MTHFR diagnosis. Will get my results from yesterday's betas today too. Then another test Friday. I'm ready to be done giving blood. I'm surprised I have any left anymore!

Cupcake - I bet you're excited!! I am kinda sad we didn't get to tell my mom in any kind of cute way because of how she called but I will be excited to tell DHs mom. We'll tell her after our first ob scan I think.

 

[cupcake.]

Tod, there's not much i can take unfortunately. I'm prone to constipation anyway so being pregnant makes that just much worse haha all i got is drinking lots of water and eating right.. Which doesn't always happen i have to admit haha

Angel, sorry the fatigue is already setting in
And i'm so excited! I think i already told but we'll give them little books that say grandma for beginners and grandpa for beginners and i'm so excited to see their faces when they understand!
I'm so ready to announce, it's nice to have something between OH and me but i'm ready for everyone to know!

 

[krissie328]

That will be a lot of fun cupcake. I'm sure everyone will bring so excited.

Afm, af finally arrived. So I'm excited to get this cycle going.

 

[todmommy4568]

Okay ladies I have officially gone mental, it's time for a confession

So I have been completely obsessed with twins the last couple weeks...or maybe a month. Who's counting? So I already take a baby aspirin and have been taking a little bit more folic acid on top of my prenatal. So last night as I was taking my folic acid and baby aspirin I looked down and said "don't worry babies we'll get you settled in there nice and good" So now this morning I have a fever ( has ranged from 97.9-98.7) and am so dizzy! My clients are not happy because we usually go to Walmart Thursday morning and I told the we wouldn't be going today because with me being so dizzy I wasn't comfortable driving them and putting us at risk. So now I have convinced myself with the fever and dizziness that either my pep talk to my egg(s) worked last night and I am pregnant or I am dying from some unknown illness

 

[todmommy4568]

Yay krissie!!!!

Cupcake you will have to share all the details!!!
