[mzswizz]

L.E. yes MIL has moved back in and its a headache majority of the time. She does leave on certain occassions though so i do get time to myself.

 

[L.E.]

Oh I was hoping she stayed gone.

 

[staceyj83]

How are you ladies doing

Afm 2cm 25% and his head is at a -2 the waiting game is here lol

 

[L.E.]

How exciting, Stacey! What's the -2 mean? DS never engaged/went into the canal, so I don't know those numbers.

 

[staceyj83]

Means his head is still high so he hasnt droped yet

 

[L.E.]

OIC... DH must have had lots of room to swim around because he never engaged... I think that's why I wouldn't dilate to 10... only 9... If he would've been down there I think I would have had him vaginally.

You still may have a while to go, though.

 

[staceyj83]

I know i think he is just trying to get my hopes up then go oh never mind lol

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, I hope all is well with you and your family. I can't stalk your chart because it isn't updated. Well, actually, I HAVE been stalking your chart, but it's no fun since it isn't updated lol.

 

[L.E.]

Well I forgot to call the doc's office... didn't think about it til after 4 yesterday. I forgot that it was Friday lol... So I'm sick of spotting/bleeding and started my Yarrow at dinner yesterday. Today the spotting is barely there. I also had a cheat day on my diet yesterday. I only cheated a little during the day and then had a cheat meal for dinner and I was stuffed til this morning lol. The scale wasn't budging for almost 2 weeks despite eating almost no processed foods and the only carbs I was eating was fruit and veggies and a couple in my salad dressing. So I'm hoping the cheat day helped. We'll see what happens when I weigh Tuesday.

 

[staceyj83]

my body always seems to get stuck on dumb at the 10lb mark lol

 

[L.E.]

I was hopeful because last time I tried to lose I lost about 5 the 1st week and then it took another 2 or 3 weeks to lose 2 more... then I gave up lol. This time I lost 7-8 lbs the first week and was being super-strict, so I thought maybe I'd lose faster... nope... I don't think anything came off over the next 1.5 weeks. It just seems like my body fights me on EVERYTHING!!

 

[staceyj83]

Dang body

 

[L.E.]

Grrr.... called my doc's office to see about getting my Provera rx and of course my nurse and doc are out til tomorrow and the nurse hadn't left any notes about me. So now I have to wait til tomorrow. Oh and my hcg was less than 5 of course. I could've told them that a week ago... actually I did tell them a week ago that I was positive that I wasn't pregnant due to a home test, my temps, and my bleeding. Ugh I hate having to go through the docs for all this stuff. I've considered buying some of the non-prescription provera and clomid, but I know it could be bad. I'm going to try the soy this new cycle and if that doesn't work, may try the stuff you buy online. I'm sick of other people being totally in control of my reproductive health.

 

[staceyj83]

I looked in to that stuff once but it scared me so i didnt try it

 

[L.E.]

Update... got my Provera tonight and took my first dose... So should stop bleeding in the next 2 days then I get to start again a few days after that (about a week from now)... Then on CD3 I'll start the soy for 5 days.

Also weighed in today and was down a whopping 1.4 lbs over the past 2 weeks. I wanted to cry. So now I'm changing it up again. Started keeping track on myfitnesspal .com . I'm logging my food and starting to exercise again. I did cheat a little tonight but I was still okay on my calories so we'll see. My goal is to keep it low carb but not quite as low as I have been, make sure I'm drinking enough water (today was 11 glasses :happy dance, exercise a lot more, and try to stay under my calorie allowance each day. If I see a loss next week, I'll keep up with this plan. I think it doesn't help that my hormones are all out-of-whack and I'm doing the bleeding junk again. Hopefully the Provera and the "reset" will help too.

Soooo how are you ladies doing?

 

[staceyj83]

Yay for getting the meds and having a plan weight loss is never easy you can do it!

Lets afm im 30 today woohoo and i now have my date to be induced march 18th for now they might move it up after my growth scan on monday still cant believe im going to have a son soon

 

[L.E.]

Awww He'll be in your arms before you know it!

 

[staceyj83]

I know but i wont lie i am scared about being induced i have heard good and bad things about it s.o dh said on the 2nd we can start doing things to maybe get labor going im be 37 weeks then he has had me on a no walking for the last 2/3 weeks and i miss it so ill be happy to do that again and hopefully we can get going they will do a sweep at 38+6 if that doesnt work i know ill only have to wait till Monday

 

[L.E.]

Yea I've heard of some people who do just fine being induced. I was induced and it ended up a c-section... I think mostly because being induced caused my blood pressure to go really high and then I wasn't allowed out of bed to help DS go down into my pelvis, and then I only dilated to 9. But my cousin was induced and had no issues, and my other cousin's gf was fine when induced too. I'm just all-around special. You know my body doesn't play nice. I told my mom yesterday that the only thing my body's ever done right is making/growing/keeping DS. I'm soooo thankful for that, but I wish my body was more cooperative in all areas.

 

[staceyj83]

See that is what im worried about is needed a emcs i have had family members end up like that because of their body and baby not being ready and its not the getting cut open its the healing time afterwards
