October Sticky Beans!

Sounds awful Shan! Could it be a side effect of the trigger shot? Or are we symptom spotting already?

 

[todmommy4568]

We're symptom spotting my last hpt had a line but just a shadowy thing after drying so I say the trigger is pretty much gone. And if it were the trigger it should have started sooner instead of 2 days ago

Loving your temps julie! I know it's still early but have you tested yet?

Shan hope those are actual symptoms!

And thanks so much everyone we're so happy and excited about our little girl. I already said that we'll use Mariella as a first name, but how do you ladies like these combinations:

Mariella Elisa
Mariella Tamina
Mariella Feline
Mariella Luise

I'd love Luise as a middle name as it's my late grandma's name but OH doesn't like it.
My second Favorite is Feline it's so exciting to finally be able to really talk about names and stuff 😍

 

[Angel5000]

I LOVE Mariella Luise. I like Mariella Tamina too. So exciting for you!!

So, on a completely different note: I feel HUGE. I'm not huge, but I feel it. Some days I'm bigger than others, which I think is bloating or something, but seriously I've gotten big enough that I can't wear any of my pants, even the pants I had stored away when I lost all that weight a few months ago. Weight wise at least I've only gained about 5-7lbs, but on my 5'2" frame, even 5lbs is a lot. When I lost all that weight a few months ago I lost about 9-10lbs, but that 10lbs came up to a total of 16 inches (combined legs, arms, waist, stomach, etc) and 2 pant sizes. I'm struggling a little with the size part. I know I am growing a child and all, but weight has always been a very hard thing for me to deal with. :/

This is going to be a rough 9 months I think.

I can so relate to that jess. I already gained around 6kg and i couldn't wear any of my pants anymore at around the same as you are now.
I still work out and i mostly eat healthy so i feel like there's nothing much i can do except just accept it and hope i can shed the weight quickly after she's born.
But i totally understand i've struggled with weight issues and body image a lot in my past so it's tough.
The love of my bump outweighs everything though ❤️

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks Heike. That helps knowing I'm not the only one. My mom and husband just keep telling me I'm not huge and implying I need to get over it (DH would never say it but my mom kind of has). Weights a big deal in my family. Most of my family is overweight (obese or borderline with loads of health issues related) and I struggle to maintain a healthy weight. I don't lose quickly so I think my big fear is I won't lose
The weight once baby comes. I'm hoping once I look a little more pregnant and a little less "big" then I'll feel better. I told my sister I need a "does this baby make me look fat" shirt to wear. Lol!

Votes please!

 

[todmommy4568]

I love luise heike! That's the best one in my opinion

I can't make up my mind with this test! I hate FRER for the indents they always make me uneasy, I took it apart and there was a bad indent but I still couldn't tell about the color. If you invest it though it lights up and an ident doesn't show on an invert. The invert tool on countdown to pregnancy is awesome haha

 

[cupcake.]

I think there may be something catchibg my eye but i'm not sure! Eek how exciting!
I hope tomorrows test will give more clarity! I'm having my fingers crossed so tightly!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks heike! I think the picture on countdown to pregnancy is definitely better. I will have to go buy more tests now

 

[Angel5000]

I see.... Something. Not sure what though. When I invert I definitely see something lit up.

MUST HAVE MORE TESTS!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Lol Jess that's why I'm so confused. I don't trust FRER's with their crazy stupid indents but an indent doesn't usually show on the invert. That part is driving me mad!

 

[Angel5000]

Can you pick up some dollar store cheapies? Or even the Walmart 88cent ones work pretty good. They are supposedly less sensitive but they picked up pretty clearly for me at 10dpo.

 

[todmommy4568]

Yes I will probably be heading to Walmart when I get done with work The family reunion this weekend distracted me from testing and symptom spotting but now it is full force lol

 

[Blackrain90]

I saw something on the one in your link but not sure if it had any colour. Ahhh I will be stalking!

 

[mrscletus]

Well ladies... Cd24, 11dpo, and the day BEFORE my blood work is scheduled and the stupid f*ing b*tch shows!!!

I'm just upset and just want to curl up in a ball! To make things worse.. I'm on vaca, and was really hoping for a positive after the hsg... I'm not
Sure where to go from here. The blood work is pointless now as it was for progesterone, prolactin, etc. But I think I will still probably go just to get the other things he ordered. Fasting insulin, full panel, fsh.. Ugh!! Damnit! Why can't it just flipping happen already!

 

[krissie328]

I am so so sorry mrscletus.

I think I forgot to update all my labs came back normal. So it looks like the only thing off is progesterone.

 

[todmommy4568]

I'm so sorry Julie

Krissie that's great!

I scratched the indent on the back of the test to see if the line/not line would go away when the shadow from the indent went away and when I did that the line didn't go away and it actually looked pink! I'm still not getting excited at all since it was all sort of a mess lol but maybe a tiny teensy bit of hope

 

[cupcake.]

I'm so sorry julie
But with such a short LP it really sounds like a progesterone problem. Sucks that you didn't manage to actually get it tested this cycle but is it possible gor next cycle to just take progesterone without the actual blood test first?

Shan, i'm so excited to see more tests!
