TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

Low bmi? What's ur bmi? Triple digits in pounds? Don't tell me u were like 90pounds before

 

[greenarcher]

Well, I'm anywhere from one day late to 2 days early. My LP since getting off BC is 10-13 days. Today is 11. I always spot before my period, so if no spotting tomorrow, I will be excited!

It's good to know the usual cramps happen. I felt so sure AF was on her way. It's such a distinctive feeling, you know?

 

[greenarcher]

Dang Bella, you're tiny! How tall are you?

 

[Bella12]

I'm 5"2 (yes. I'm also short ). Bmi was 16.8 before I got pregnant. Weight seems to sticking super easy these days and yes. Triple digits in pounds. I continually remind myself that I gained about 10 pounds last time in first trimester and then it slowed down alot. I'm pretty sure I weight 127 pounds at 41 weeks pregnant with my son. The nurses would tease me at my weigh ins during prenatal care.

I'd rather put on the weight vs mc and go back to square one again.

 

[greenarcher]

Very petite! I bet you were adorable at 41 weeks. Tiny women with big bellies make me smile.

 

[puma1986]

Hehe! It makes me smile, but I'm always so concerned for them, too!!!! I have a friend who is 5'2 as well and just recently had a child and I can't imagine an 8 pound baby residing in her at all! Super kudos to the smaller women out there! My Grandma, who is 5'0, had EIGHT children! With EASE! In contrast, I'm 5'8 and felt like my back was going to snap from being so disproportionate while pregnant. I had so many pregnancy issues it was insane! A woman's height certainly does not determine her ability to have healthy babies, that's for sure!!!!

Thanks Bella, I really would rather not deal with projectile vomit lol When I got pregnant with my son 9 years ago I remember the smell of cheese making me yack everywhere. It was so unfortunate at the time because cheese is my absolute favorite. LOL!

Green: I am hoping with everything in me that your spotting stays very very far away and am proud to say that we are united against FRER!

 

[greenarcher]

Lol thank you!

Have any of yall heard of hives in early pregnancy? I am getting sharp itchy twinges ALL over my body (not boobs yet).

This is me right now:

[Bella12]

I didn't get hives in early pregnancy but it appears that hives is a pregnancy issue for some.

I also had an 8 pound 8 ounce baby.

 

[GoldenRatio]

omg Bella! u are tiny and yes its so cute to imagine ur tiny little body carrying a baby.

I wish i could donate some weight from my stock hehe

You can always workout and gain muscle, gaining muscle is hard at first but definitely heavier than fat and healthier.

 

[Bella12]

That has been a goal of mine. I was doing well with exercising until I got my BFP. Now my workout is vomiting. Lol

I'm still walking though. Just not keeping up with other routines.

I'm also against FRER. The cheep amazon ones worked great for me.

 

[GoldenRatio]

I stopped working out once i got bfp too because i was weight training. Doctor said its okey but when i did leg workout and some deadlifts, i felt super sick that night. Better to be safe until the baby is big enuf to hold on. I will start prenatal workouts around 20weeks.

Lucky i didnt get the sickness, that will make u lose weight for sure. My only problem is that i cant consume enuf protein. I hate the smell of chicken, eggs, ground beef....... just trying to get protein out of grains for now.

 

[BelleNuit]

Picked up some softcups to try this cycle! I'm ready to try just about anything lol. Will also give the OPKs another go.

Have any of you ladies tried softcups? I'm going to practice putting one in tonight so that I'm a pro when it's time!

 

[GoldenRatio]

I used softcups for 5 cycles and last cycle i didnt have any but we conceived hehere. Its definitly hard to put in and not worry about sperm coming out.

After couple try, you will get used to it. Have u tried fertility lube? Your cm can be the problem, definitely try.

I first used preseed but DH hated the slip and every time it made him go soft on me. Then i got Zestica (only available in Canada), really nice and DH doesnt mind it. Thats the one we used the time we conceived and still use it when needed.

 

[BelleNuit]

Ya, we have used LOTS of preseed in past cycles, and I have really good ewcm too! So that's not our problem.

I think our swimmers are unmotivated lol. I'm blaming it on weed. I know we disagree there, but that's okay

I think it will be nice not to have to worry about stuff coming back out afterwards!

 

[puma1986]

Huge temp drop this morning. I'm definitely out this cycle. AF will be here tomorrow most likely.

Onto cycle 6

 

[greenarcher]

You dork, you're still way above cover!! Not out!

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma the TWW completely blows!! So many times I've woken up with a temp drop thinking the exact same thing! we are here for you, and we'll keep hoping for you!

 

[puma1986]

You dork, you're still way above cover!! Not out!

Lmao. I don't know why this made me laugh so hard. Thanks Green.

Thanks ma'dear! My cycle did the exact same thing last cycle. Hard to have hope, but I'll try!

 

[greenarcher]

Anytime puma!

I've only got one test left (WHERE DID ALL MY CHEAPIES GO!?), so I'm holding off until Saturday, which is when AF is due. If she comes, I'll likely start spotting tomorrow.

BUT! OMG you guys I'm such a nerd. I have a cheap little science kit with a crappy microscope. I totally took a sample after BD and checked it out! DH refuses a SA, so I was like, fine, I'll do it. There are swimmers! And they're alive! I have no idea about count or anything because it wasn't really a proper sample but DH was convinced he was shooting blanks. He was really pleased to see them!
