October Sticky Beans!

Doing the CH dance!!!

Ivska.. I don't think walking will be an issue especially this early, I am sure if you were 38+ maybe you should refrain from over walking, but staying fit/healthy during pregnancy is a good thing. Btw- super jealous that you are traveling to Dubai! I have always wanted to go!!

 

[MsRipple]

@ Ivska Agreed that walking is good - basically most of what you did before is fine as long as you feel ok. Great betas

and @cletus - woohoo for crosshairs

AFM temp drops are not looking good for me, nor is the bfn I got on an expired Wondfo this am (not sure if it being expired matters). I got a bunch of wondfos this fall with my opks so I figured may as well use them. TMI alert - The one weird thing is that for the cycles where I've checked my cervix I always have some brown or blood there at least the day before or morning of AF. This time I a good amount of EWCM yesterday, some tinged slightly pink when I checked my cervix which was a bit unusual, but no blood. Then my cervix was totally clear this am. Guess I'll just wait AF out and hope she doesn't arrive.

 

[mrscletus]

Hoping AF stays away MsRipple!!

Ivska, you should be fine to walk as normal- if you are going to be walking for extended periods and long distance, definitely take lots of breaks and drink a ton of water though, as I found I get more dehydrated during pregnancy and would get unusually exhausted when walking for longer periods (even more so now obviously).

 

[krissie328]

Yep, I was actually encouraged to stay active and walk during my pregnancy. So it is definitely safe. I hope you have a good time.

Afm, cd 16 and my fertile cm came back in gobs today. But I was out of town training so had no opks. I'm going to take one soon, but I suspect still negative.

 

[Angel5000]

Does anyone know if an HSG will affect my Ovulation ? It's still early enough that I doubt it, but I'm just wondering.

I'm so completely and utterly exhausted today. Can't figure out why, but I just feel like I've run a marathon.

 

[Blackrain90]

Omg ladies. I know how badly y'all want to get pregnant, but make sure you enjoy this time with your body while it is yours. Have that extra glass of wine, enjoy every moment of sleep you get.

This small invader that has taken over my body is making my life miserable the past week. He moved from head down to laying completely transverse (sideways) and pretty much anytime he moves I am in agony. I'm sitting here in bed and I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight, as he is literally sticking out of both sides of my stomach and I am too big now to back sleep.
I am grateful that I have this baby and wouldn't trade him for anything, but OMG between the pain, foot/leg swelling and hormones, I'm so done right now!

/end rant

 

[lvksa]

@mrscletus hope that you get a chance to go. It's an amazing city.

@blackrain90 Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to have water with me. We won't go out walking during the day as its already too hot in this part of the world when the sun is out.

@krissie328 thanks girl

I was hoping that I wouldn't get morning sickness, but I've had nausea since about mid week 4. This morning is the first time I've actually vomitted (sorry), but I have nausea about 85% of the time that I'm awake at this point. If anyone has any suggestions regarding morning sickness I'd be grateful .

 

[krissie328]

Ginger is suppose to help with morning sickness. I was told candied ginger. I didn't get morning sickness so I never tried it.

 

[todmommy4568]

Ripple sorry about AF....what a b*tch!!!!

Angel I know nothing about those tests hopefully it doesn't jar things too much. Since the ladies have said that a lot of ppl get pregnant after having it done though I would think it wouldn't affect O too much

Black I hope you feel better I remember the uncomfortableness and I am definitely not looking forward to it but when the invader vacates the premises you will forget all about it!

Krissie hopefully it's a good sign that the fertile cm is back!

Yay for CH Cletus!

Ivksa I have no advice on how to deal with morning sickness but I hope you feel better soon and it doesn't continue throughout your pregnancy

 

[cupcake.]

Argh, i see the b.. Witch showed her face, msripple, sorry

Ivksa, sorry to hear you're struggling with morning sickness i don't have it badly and i'm thanksful for that, but it definitely helps to have small snacks on hand.

Blackrain, i'm sorry you're so uncomfortable right now i have to admit though, with being pregnant for the first time, i can't wait for those discomforts haha

 

[mrscletus]

So sorry to hear your little one is causing such discomfort and pain, Black... Hope he decides to move back to a more suitable position soon.

Angel- I really hope that the test wouldn't have messed with O... Finger crossed you can still get some bd'ing in before O... maybe the test will just be a good luck kind of thing.

Krissie- hoping there is hope for O this month... fertile cm sounds promising.

I was fortunate enough to not have morning sickness with either of my pregnancies, so I am no help with suggesting ways to help, I think the candied ginger sounds yummy tho!! I would try that

AFM- I had a crazy temp drop this am... not really sure what to make of it. Will be curious to see what it does tomorrow.

 

[Angel5000]

I'm so tired lately! OMG. We go to bed at 9am, and get up at 5am and I'm barely making it out of bed lately, and by the end of the school day I'm just dead. I was making so many mistakes in my 6th period class the other day the kids were asking me if i was okay! Not sure what's causing it but I'm hoping it doesn't keep up too long, I need to have some energy to

Black - I'm in a limbo of wanting to be pregnant, but really not looking forward to the part where my body is no longer my own. And I'm really really not looking forward to the lack of sleep part. I am such a B without sleep.

Ivksa - Oh I'm so sorry you have so much nausea! I'm told peppermint is wonderful for morning sickness. I drink peppermint tea when I'm feeling ill and it seems to help, and I use peppermint essential oils to diffuse in the house if someone is nauseous. One of my coworkers sucks on hard peppermint candies a lot.

Cletus - Hoping it could be an Implantation dip.

 

[Blackrain90]

Angel I'm a complete insufferable bitch without sleep. My poor husband gets the brunt of it but to be honest, at this point in pregnancy my filter is gone and I have zero fucks left to give, so even the slow old cashier at wal mart and my one co-worker that I can't stand felt my wrath the past couple days- and most people would normally describe me as a kind, non confrontational little sweetheart (someone's actual description of me haha) so this is a full 180 personality flip!

Cupcake, I don't think most people get this uncomfortable (except the last few weeks), it's more the unusual position he is in I think. Last pregnancy, even the big rolling movements weren't this bad. But I am only 5ft with a very petite frame, so having something laying sidewys inside me- not ideal haha.

Ivksa, I would suggest keeping something small in your tummy at all times (not letting yourself get hungry at all), as I noticed that is when the sickness would come on. Even noshing at night if you wake up at all would be good, something basic like crackers (i ate apples but they are acidic which can upset some people more). Ginger candies are great for sure, constantly sipping on cold water, and avoiding any strong flavoured/smelling foods.

Sorry about the (b)witch ripple

OMG that's great! I'm definitely afraid that when I hit that point my students are going to get the brunt of it, because they say I'm usually pretty laid back and don't flip out on them too often (every now and then I do) and yet I can see myself losing it one day! At least I'll have an excuse.

 

[Blackrain90]

Haha yeah, even teens would probably understand and excuse a grumpy pregnant woman.

 

[krissie328]

My whole pregnancy I am so mean. Even during my chemical I thought I was gonna snap necks at work. (Staff not kids). I forgot how that felt.

 

[Blackrain90]

Yeah I noticed it a bit earlier on too, but the farther I progress and more uncomfortable I get, the harder it is to reign in the crazy hahaha

 

[mrscletus]

The thread got pretty quiet... How is everyone doing? I had a long weekend of training, and of course forgot my thermometer at my other office! So I am without my temp for about 2-3 days :/

Feeling pretty normal except for sore boobs..

 

[Angel5000]

I'm going in for my second US today. Got a +OPK on Saturday so possibly ovulated yesterday. Today temp is not at all accurate, I slept horribly and maybe got 4 hours of sleep all night. Really wish I could call off for the afternoon and come home to sleep but I already promised a bunch of students I would be there today for after school tutorials and I don't want to cancel :/ ugh.

I'll update with what they say at my US
