TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

I was timing them earlier. They were about 9 min apart, got down to 3-4 min apart. Layed down, pain was better. Just went to target and ended up in tears from the pain with each contraction. It's worse sitting down. Ugh. I'm sure it's just BH since they are not getting worse. But I've never had vaginal pain/pressure like this before. I'm just so damn stubborn. I just don't want to call, get sent to l&d and it be nothing but BH.

Kara-I def will! I'm so paranoid about preeclampsia...I've had some soda and I think it's going away now.

Cassidy-lol I cried the other night over dumb stuff too. I went to Walmart for some groceries. That's kind of a big deal bc I had to shower and be presentable...I start shopping and realize I forgot the card I need to pay. I text DW and asked if she could drop it off when she got off work. She texted back "are you serious?" Totally rubbed me the wrong way. I decided I was going home and not coming back. DW called me when I got to my car and I lost it lol I was so mad. However, you don't mess w a preggo lady's food, that's low.
Crazy about your sister!

Ashlee-I got money for my bday and we used it towards bills...I get it lol

Katrina-I'm so ready for you to figure out what's going on, as I'm sure you are too!

 

[jury3]

Rachel-just call!!! Better safe than sorry! Some people don't even know they are in labor...I'd call bc of the pressure if nothing else. Please call at least!

 

[Cowgirl07]

I am so impatient. I can't wait.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Rachel- Hope all is well! I hope Ellie hangs out for a little longer!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb, like all the other girls said, your hcg just vaties from person to person. I got a light positive on an FRER with an HCG of 12.07. It took a few days to get darker. Fx for you.

Rachel, hope it eases up and she stays in awhile longer!

Cass, totally get the hormones. The Budweiser superbowl commercials made me cry. Ha. Snd I can get pissed on a dime. Ugh. Did not miss that!

Ash, that stinks! Our ultrasound tech always turns the machine to 3d and 4d when she does them. They don't charge extra. It stinks you guys have to pay for that specifically. I can't wait to see ours in any kind of ultrasound!

Collette, can't wait to hear about your scan!

Glad all is well, Waves! Better safe than sorry.

Julie, glad you are hanging in there!

Katrina, hope you get answers soon!

Morgan, I like Jae. It does flow well.

Sorry if I forgot anyone! Yesterday was BUSY! When I got home from work at 8 pm after 11 hours, i made xhicken noodle soup and slept in the chair til Hubby woke me up to go to bed. Work is a nightmare right now. Ugh. I'm exhausted. My house is a wreck. My husband has bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection with the worst sounding lungs the doctor has heard who is coughing all night and less than helpful right now. Please fast forward my life a bit right now! Lol. I doubt I would have the energy to deal with it if I wasn't 9.5 weeks pregnant. I picked a bad time for vacation I think. Lol

Hi girls.
Ahh sandy sounds lime you're having a rough time.
Well scan was perfect. Baby measuring 6+3 which matches my date exactly and there was even a lovely little heartbeat. The only thing they did find was a cyst on my right ovary that they want to monitor I feel a little more at ease now. I have another scan in 3 weeks.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yay it's wonderful you have a heartbeat already!
Af is here now surprise surprise.

If you'd like we can just stay here and not create another month's TTC thread.. unless someone wants to!

Colette- Wonderful news

Sandy- I hate work too lol.. sorry DH is sick, hope you don't get it!! 1s tri is always the hardest I think :/

Katrina- Boo for AF, but you are getting answers here soon!! I would ask for some Clomid for this month.. is that possible?? To at least change it up and try something new? FX'd for the HSG too love, your BFP is coming soon and I can't wait!!! P.s. not sure what any of that SA stuff means lol but I know you said the results were good so yay for that!

AFM- This morning I woke up to more snow It's getting ridiculous! The traffic is awful no matter how much we get.. comeonnn Spring time! Comeonnn April! And baby Marley! Doc appt Thursday and this weekend is March.. so much to look forward to!! Life is good

 

[Cowgirl07]

No I don't think they will give clomid with out me having an hsg first or talking to the new dr.

 

[jury3]

Yay for a healthy little bean and heartbeat!

I woke up with a headache still lingering, so I'll be going to my doc at 11:45. Hopefully all is ok. I've also wondered if I might have cholestasis bc I've had all that itchiness that hasn't completely gone away, nausea, pain in my right rib and kidney areas. Hopefully it's not that or preeclampsia. I'll freak out if especially if I have preeclampsia this early on...

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Collette. So glad for all being well with your little one!

Morgan, I agree! Except for third tri swelling! Ugh.. snow! Lol. So over it!

Julie, hope all is well!! Keep us posted.

Katrina, so sorry about AF! Praying for answers and an easy fix for you!

I am on doing my glucose test tomorrow. Ugh. And I am starrrrrving today! Geesh. I'm going to have to eat salad and water this entire pregnancy not to gain anything.

 

[HWPG]

i wouldnt do clomid before the hsg either; no sense in wasting the time (since you can only do it for a limited # of months) if the tubes are blocked (which is probably not the case, but better safe than sorry).

 

[HWPG]

K, FWIW, here are my OH's results:
motility: 62% (want >50%)
morphology: 8% (want >4%)
concentration: 61 mil/mL (want >20)
total: 305 mil (want >40)
# of motil: 189 mil (want >15)
tail and head defects: 0%

 

[wavescrash]

Good luck Julie... hopefully it's nothing serious.

Woke up headache-free and feeling better. But then OH left for work, I did 2 loads of dishes and my headache came back along with the swollen legs and same feelings I had when my BP was elevated yesterday. He works 10-7 all week (next week is 8-5) so it's just me and Hannah at home. No idea how I'm supposed to stay off my feet to keep my BP normal but whatever... at least it goes back to normal while resting.

38 weeks tomorrow. 9 days until our c-section.

I'm going to try my absolute hardest to just completely stop labor-watching. I feel like we're just going to make it to our section date and not go into labor on our own so what's the point? It's really frustrating when something turns out to be nothing or "normal" and I'm tired of going to L&D every other day especially when the stupid machine doesn't register any of the contractions I feel. So I'm just going to try and ignore any of the cramping or BH or pains and ride out the next 9 days lol. Easier said than done for sure.

 

[RobertRedford]

Rachel, I hope all is okay. Ellie needs to stay in there a bit longer!

Cassidy, CRAZY about your sister, I can't believe that she kept it quiet for so long! Funny how things work!

Julie, I hope all goes well at your appointment, my fingers are crossed for no Pre-E!

Katrina, hugs. sorry about AF. I honestly know very little about the SA results. Our doctor interpreted ours for us last time and I don't remember what each value meant.

Amanda, Crazy how close your DD is. I like your idea of just waiting. labor watching may be fruitless since so many changes are going to be happening now, since your DD is so close

Yay for a healthy little heartbeat and bean, collette!

Sorry you're so beat, firsttimemama. The first tri is always exhausting. hugs

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Colette- Yay for a healthy Hb!!

Katrina- So sorry about AF coming, but i've heard of several BFP's after HSG's!

Julie- Hope everything is okay! Keep us updated!

 

[clynn11]

She told my mom she was too scared to tell anyone because she thought I would hate her by 'stealing my pregnancy thunder.' Which honestly makes me sad She's my little sister! 5 years younger than me. Always been kind of shy and awkward, never had many friends. I wish she would have told me sooner. I feel bad she's been going through this alone because she thought she'd hurt my feelings. Shit happens! I'm just worried about her and her man situation. They literally celebrated their 6 month anniversary last night. She's over 14 weeks already. So they conceived soooo soon into their relationship. He doesn't have a job. They're both soooo young. I'm just worried!

Colette- WOOOOHOOOO for a healthy bean!!! Soooo soooo happy for you!

Rachel- any update?? How are you feeling today??

Julie- I hope your appt. goes well, headache goes away, and that there's NO sign of pre-e.

Sandy- I hope your GD test goes smoothly!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Julie- I hope your appt goes well!! Keep us posted!

Rachel- how are you today?!

Katrina- I'm sorry about AF Hun! Hopefully you can get in for the hsg ASAP. The sample results looks good to me! Personal ?- do you go for the big O after DH is done? Have you ever tried Preseed or anything like that? Sorry if I'm being invasive, I just SO think this will happen for you!!

Collette- awesome news about the scan! Yay for a little hb!

Cassidy- crazy about your sis! Is she finding out what she's having?
