Sis-Maybe the heartbeat is too quiet for you to hear it just yet. I hope you find it. don't you have another appointment on the 18th? They can help you then, I'm sure.

kfs1-Yeah, I know what you mean about neglecting other stuff. It's crazy how even just thinking about TTC takes up a lot of time, and then you don't want to do other things because you're googling, reading BnB, thinking some more, making appointments, etc..A lot of people at work are on weight watchers and it really works as long as you keep track of your intake/points. There's also an app that's super helpful. I just want to get back to running. The week after vacation I'm doing it. Enough talking about it.

Sis.....laying down is better so you're not as bunched up. Keep trying, you'll find it. The nurse at my Dr's appt found if with the Doppler when I was 7 wks. I came home and put my doppler in the same area and nothing! Lol It took me a while to find it with the angel sounds doppler I had and it was about a week later and it was in a different spot all together. Lol. Even now sometimes it takes me longer to find it on some days, other days I find it right away.

Sis - just keep trying - you are early - but I bet you will find it...My vote would be for laying down as the easiest way to hear that baby ticker!!! Good luck

Terri - YAY! Roxy is coming back!!

kfs - (and Terri) - I am so there with you on the weight gain and feeling like a blob and like TTC is taking over EVERYTHING I am atleast 10 pounds heavier than where I want to be... ugh... but I haven't been running because I am having issues with my knee (painful going up stairs) but today was my 2nd physical therapy appointment and that lady must be a she tapes my knee and I feel like a million bucks... she told me to go ahead and run on it last time - so my daughter and I ran about 3 miles yesterday... I am back in the race ladies...
I have to go to North Carolina over my birthday week next month for military training (its my fertile week of course - im trying not to be sad) but its right on the beach - so I have about six weeks to lose some flub!!!! and since we are waiting on testing I am going to go ahead and run and see what happens...
of course - that all starts right after I eat this freshly popped popcorn...

to all you lovely ladies out there - have a great day!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

I found it Happy Momma!!!

Cupcake was hiding way low on the left almost in my hip bone Lil stinker!! It very faint so doesn't read BPM all the time but looks to be 125 BPM on average!!

 

[battyatty]

hi ladies, sorry I have been mia, I put my back out 3 days ago and have been feeling very sorry for myself....thinking if I didnt get any better I could miss out on my fertile window.... I am up and about again after 3 days in bed on my back.... but only with the help of ibuprofen cream...... and moving very slowly.... I will try now to go back through all the posts I have missed ...................

 

[Wish4another1]

Atty - so sorry to hear about your back problems - but I would think being flat on your back would help!! ok I know...when your in pain you can't do the deed... I hope you are feeling better very soon and can get some sessions in...

Sis - that is awesome that you found the heartbeat... YAY!!!

 

[Smiles013]

Sis......see, told you! A little persistence goes a long way! Now just remember that spot and go back there all the time and you should be golden!

 

[Sis4Us]

I'm starting to think its my HB not the baby but IDK!!!

I heard it in both side of my pelvic Bone and then this afternoon heard a louder beat in the middle of my CScar!!

I'm sure I'll get the hang of it everyone keeps telling me it's too early to hear the HB but I know I hear something !!

 

[moni77]

yay sis and terri!!

 

[terripeachy]

Sis-Woohoo!! Well, you heard something, so I'm happy about that. Why would your heartbeat be so low? HA!!HA!! Doesn't make any sense.

Atty-Oh, glad you're feeling better after hurting yourself, but I agree with Wish...just put some cream on and go for it! HA!!HA!!

Roxy saw me prior to going in to get the report from the vet, and she was just crying/whimpering/whining. She was so happy to get in the car and get in the house. She even ran up the back stairs. There are three steps. I was prepared to pick her up and she just ran right up. Now we'll see if she can go up the 14 stairs from the basement to the upstairs. She is moving so much faster, just after a few days! I guess she really wanted to leave the shelter. I'm glad to have her back! I hope hubs is paying attention to see how happy she is to see him. She has staples on her back/shoulder now, so that's a little bit sad, but she's feeling great!

 

[Sis4Us]

Aww Terri I think u need to keep her she loves U Guys!!!

I hear my HB in the placenta and ovaries I'm learning I think I found baby just to the left of my HB cuz its faster 135-145!!
Practice makes perfect I want DH and the boys to hear But I want to know for sure it's the baby and not me!!

 

[Smiles013]

Yes Sis....your heartbeat, placenta pulse etc would be slower. Baby's heartbeat will sound like a galloping horse and be faster. You may also hear the baby's HB in different sports sometimes which is weird and why I thought it was twins before. Lol

 

[Sis4Us]

Yea i do I was thinking the same thing I'm sure it's due to Echo!!

 

[terripeachy]

It's pretty quiet over here. I'm going to have to go back and find people so I can stalk their charts..it's a wonderful pastime. HA! Miss you ladies!

 

[VJean]

Daylight Savings Time is the devil....

I'm so, so happy Roxy is back in your home Terri! I'm sure she missed you!

Kfs1, my hubby started weight watches in Jan and has lost 25 lbs. He is also a runner, running 3-9 miles a day during the week, and 13 miles on either Saturday or Sunday. It all sounds way too exhausting for me, but he looks great!

Wish, I'm so glad you are getting help!

Sis, hopefully the HB gets easier and easier to find. I'll bust out my Doppler in a few weeks. I need to get more gel for it but always forget when I am on amazon.

Atty, your back sounds terrible! Glad you are back on your feet. Hope you are able to !

Sorry the keeps showing up ladies!

AFM: Baby hates chocolate. This is very traumatic for me. I have a candy drawer at work and it all makes me sick. All I want is salt (McDonalds fries! Yum!) and sleep.

Aw man your baby is mean!!! But at least you can eat french fries! McDonald's fries are my fav!

 

[Fezzle]

Mmm... now I want french fries and I can't even use the excuse that a baby wants them!

 

[Sis4Us]

Vjean I've been eating Salt and vinegar Chips and Banana Pudding!!!

Not sure how Baby came up w that crazy Combo

Also I've read a lot of ladies just use Aloe Vera Gel it works just fine and is cheaper

 

[terripeachy]

Fezzle-Did you get the results from your bloodwork?

VJean-McD's fries-so good. They sent coupons in the mail last month, so I've had two large fries lately. I normally don't go to McDs because it sits in my stomach like a rock. Glad you are doing well, aside from the candy drawer. I'll eat some chocolate for you.

 

[kfs1]

Sis - glad you found the heartbeat!

Terri - awww, that's so cute about Roxy. I'm worried for you when you have to give her back - that's gonna be a tough one. Oh - and I feel the same about McDonald's fries - sooo good but they sit like a ROCK. Can't eat fast food for that reason.

VJean - Waaaa? No chocolate? That's a bummer.

Wish - That stinks that you're going to miss your window with training but like you said, maybe a good time to get in shape for the summer at least!

Atty - So sorry about your back. Hope you're doing OK.

Nothing new over here. Temp's up this morning but I woke up a bit later since I'm working from home today so... I'm going to see Elvis Costello and the Roots tonight - pretty excited about that!
