October Sticky Beans!

[krissie328]

Right!! Once I ovulate we seem to be pretty fertile! I just have a feeling so really hoping it is right. It was with my two losses. I just knew those cycles would be bfp.

This cycle is weird anyways. I am having the worst cramps. I have read it is likely ovulation fluid/blood irritating the uterus. Which kinda grosses me out. But I am also having tons of saliva. Like what is up with that? I caught myself about to drool during a meeting today. That would have been cute.

Heike - that sounds promising! I think I read somewhere that the prebirth phase stuff can be anwyhere from a few days to a few weeks so hopefully she'll stay put a little while longer, but it sounds like you're getting closer! I'm so excited for you!

Krissie - Yay! Keeping FX that this is the month you got your bean! Sounds like a weird cycle though. Maybe your body just knows it's time and so it's prepping with extra saliva and weird cramps. lol

Shan - I'm still SO EXCITED for you!! Keep reminding yourself those cheapies are gonna suck with progression. My ICs had the worst progression. My best progression was with the FRERs and actually with the walmart 88 cent ones, funny enough.

Yea I definitely don't want to stress, I have seen enough "cheapie progression" pics to know better haha. I have to remember circumstances were different as well. Wednesday was SMU after having very little to drink. This morning was FMU and I have been much more conscious of my water intake and had a bunch before bed. I forgot how much I loved being pregnant, note the sarcasm in the words please My appetite is super weird like if I eat too much I feel sick but regardless I am hungry every two hours which is different from last time. What is not different is the acne, oh the acne.....that was what made me lean towards thinking pregnancy it is already out of control. And the fatigue holy cow! Don't get me wrong I am thrilled and grateful but this is reminding me of how miserable I was when I was pregnant with Asher haha

Krissie how much longer do we have to wait?!

 

[krissie328]

Oh so long! Gonna try to hold out until Wednesday which will be 9 dpo. I think the earliest bfp I ever got was 9 or 10.

Shan, yeah definitely don't stress about those cheapies! It took ages for them to even show my bfp. But i still can't wait for more line porn

Krissie, yes it definitely looks like you ovulated and you had great timing! I'm having my fingers crossed

And you're all right and i totally don't expect anything to happen so soon. If that is my body working to clean itself in preparation of labor, i definitely don't mind this going on for the next weeks it's a whole lot more comfortable than constipation

Also, 31+0 vs 35+2 ! Haha seriously i just can't beliebe i've gotten so big! Like during day to day life i just don't realize the changes anymore unless i'm actively comparing. And I don't feel this bis, i can even still bend down to tie my shoelaces. It's crazy what the body goes through during pregnancy.

 

[krissie328]

Aww what a lovely bump! I never felt that big with ds. I was still able to do most everything except get other of bed gracefully.

My dh did tell me sometime later I was that big. *gasp*

 

[Blackrain90]

OMG SHAN!!!!! So thrilled for you love!!!!

Sorry I haven't been able to read back much on everything, just got our house sold and finalizing our new purchase so has been a hectic last couple weeks.

 

[mrscletus]

Oh Shan---- I'm so glad I decided to check in today. That's so awesome!! Happy and healthy 9 months.

 

[Angel5000]

Love the bump Heike!! I am with you on the not realizing how big you've gotten. I don't even realize how much bigger I am now than a few weeks ago unless I actively compare.


I'm at the doctor's office now for my 3 hour test. Last time I ate was dinner last night (around 6:30pm, came in at 8am for lab work). First blood draw down, plus nasty drink. Now I'm waiting in the lobby with a timer set for 50 minutes to tell me when to go back there again for the next lab draw. Rinse and repeat. Blah. I can honestly say I feel like crap right now and I'm only 15 minutes past the drink. I don't handle a large amount of sugar well, and I really don't handle it well on an empty stomach. I am really tempted to lay down on these chairs (there are sets of chairs that are 3 connected but don't have arms on the middle bits so it's like a bench) and nap but I'm afraid I wouldn't realize the alarm was going off and if I miss a blood draw I think they make me redo it. And heck no I'm not doing that!

 

[krissie328]

Oh Jess that's horrible. I hope you feel better and it goes by quickly.

 

[Angel5000]

and done! now I'm home, feel kinda dizzy and fuzzy headed so I'm trying to rest and eat. They said to eat lots of protein and water so working on that. I'm just glad I'm done. My arm looks like I do drugs though!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks ladies!

Cute bump heike!

Jess I'm glad you got done with it! When do you get the results?

So I'm not sick today and I should be thrilled about that but I feel like it's about to send me into a tailspin

 

[lvksa]

Shan! What wonderful news. congratulations!


My husband just came back from an 8 day business trip to Canada. I had to use a driver morning + afternoon for work those days. Last Wednesday I actually cried in the car on the way to work because this guy was driving like a maniac. When I arrived I sent my husband a message saying that I would never ride with that guy ever again. I ended up taking an Uber to go home that day.

 

[Angel5000]

Well it looks like I "passed" the glucose test. The tech said I'd get a call from the doctor within 24 hours if it was bad and I didn't get a call Friday at all. I logged into the online account yesterday evening and my results were available (I love online access to my labs!) and all of my numbers fall into the range of the "normal" listing on the lab so I think I'm good.


Shan - I had the same problem first tri, every time I didn't have a symptom or didn't feel sick or something I was sure something was wrong. You got this.

OMG That's scary! I'm so glad your husband is home and you won't have to use a driver anymore!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks Sam! That is terrible, I hate the way that cab drivers drive most of the time. We had a cab around Winnipeg for a trip since we were bar hopping and I was pretty sure we were going to die every time we got in a cab ha

Jess that is great news!

Yep I'm officially a mess haha, my nausea has subsided dramatically. My boobs still feel like they are on fire and my hips hurt really bad but some symptoms are subsiding. I'm guessing my hips are going to be a huge problem, I was chronically seeing a chiroprator after I had Asher because I tilted my pelvis giving birth to him and my hips always hurt and would pop out and now with muscles and joints loosening it is extremely painful and I haven't went to the chiropractor for a very long time. I read this article on miscarriage this morning and it has messed with my head all day long! My first appointment isn't until mid December and I think I may go insane for December rolls around

 

[Angel5000]

Mid December sounds so far away! Don't read any more articles on miscarriage though! Stay away! Just take care of yourself and relish in the joy that you are pregnant. (I should have taken this same advice during my early several weeks). There's nothing else you can do. But of course we're here to listen and chat. And SO EXCITED for you!

 

[cupcake.]

Yeah i second what Jess said but obviously i remember what a mess i was in early pregnancy (though granted, i did bleed but that gave me two early scans which was nice).
But it is true, worrying will just make your days so much more stressfull and doesn't do anything else
I didn't even really have nausea, only a few times and that was around 10-12 weeks. You will probably eat your words in a few days/weeks when the nausea hits back full force haha

 

[Angel5000]

I can't believe it, I'm 30 weeks tomorrow!! Most of the time during the day I don't feel real big but in the pictures I definitely feel huge!

I can't believe I'm down to 10 weeks until due date!

 

[krissie328]

Aww lovely bump Jess! It's crazy to think you're only weeks away.

Shan, I understand and hope you are able to relax a bit.

I've decided I'm gonna test with one of my osom in the morning. I figured it's Halloween and would be fun. I will only be 7 dpo so not expecting much but I've been dying to test.
