TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

Nikki you are looking good! Quite a bump she's creating!!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Second trimester!!!!!! Woot woot!

 

[asmcsm]

Yay Rachel!

Freaking out over here because my temp dropped to 98.3 today too close to coverline for comfort. I should probably stop temping. I'm just so worried this will be another miscarriage. I wish the stupid dr office could just let me get betas done tomorrow. But I have to be an "official patient for this pregnancy" and see my midwife first so that they aren't liable for anything that happens before the apt. So stupid

 

[TTCaWee1]

That's a stupid theory for them to have. They should just order the betas then they have more info when you go to your appt. I wouldn't worry about your temps. Stop temping and go buy a ton of dollar store tests. They aren't as sensitive so will take longer to get as dark as the control. If you really want something to obsess over till your appt. I did and it helped. Even after I got betas done lol

 

[brunettebimbo]

I read you shouldn't temp after a BFP. Hope you get your bloods done soon

Morgan-11 weeks!!!

Rachel-13 weeks!!!

Ashlee-Seriously, look up charts on ff...it's not uncommon for the temps to still drop and rise after a bfp. I would just stop or you'll worry yourself sick. The tests are more accurate at this point.

 

[asmcsm]

I knew I shouldn't have temped but I was just hoping to see a spike like everyone else gets :/. Makes no sense to me because normally I have a triphasic chart so you'd thing that once I got pregnant my temps would be higher. Progesterone shouldn't be a problem :/. I have some clinical guard tests that I can use to see if they get darker. I probably shouldn't worry so much. My frer with TMU yesterday was way darker than my FMU from the day before. Last time it took 2 days for it to be that much darker. Just hate that I have to wait till Thursday for more info :/

So, I'm kind of freaking out a little. If you read my post on the ttc thread yesterday, then you know I'm having issues with my boss again. I've very behind on my work bc I've been so sick and so exhausted. I'm starting to have a few good days here and there so I'm trying to get caught up. I tried to explain things to her and she basically made me feel like shit. I'm so scared she's going to start causing me problems and trying to get me in trouble. I'm already scared of what will happen with my pregnancy. There is no telling if or when I could end up on bed rest, what complications I might have or when I will deliver. On top of that, I was already stressed about work and she just kicked it up a few notches. I really don't need that!
Anyway, I have to call this week and see what my short term disability will cover if I go on bed rest. I have 6-8 weeks for maternity leave and then 12 weeks of FMLA leave on top of that. So my goal is to keep working at least until mid February which would be the beginning of my 3rd trimester. I've hear that many std companies only pay 60% of your salary, so I'm still worried about money. Better than nothing I guess. Maybe I'll have a nice healthy pregnancy and won't have to worry about it!
Anyway, had to get that off my chest. lol I'm just such a planner and the unknowns are getting to me!

Ashlee-I agree with stopping temping, I was looking at temp charts past bfp and lots of them rise and fall.
Rachel-2nd trimester already! Yay girl
Julie-I hope you get something figured out fast, so you can stop stressing.

 

[asmcsm]

This made me feel better. Today's test line is a little darker than control which is comforting. Definitely didn't progress this well with the last one

 

[asmcsm]

So glad I didn't use the clinical guard to test on 12DPO look how light is today lol


Julie- so sorry you're so stressed at work can't be good for the babes. I hope everything gets worked out and your boss starts to understand

 

[clynn11]

Ash- STOP TEMPING!!! Lol. I've read everywhere that you should stop testing as soon as you get that + test because pregnancy hormones can make your temps fluctuate drastically and just cause undue stress. Everything is fine, your lines are gorgeous, and I 100% KNOW that this is your take home baby!

My poor cousin is in the hospital and is on bed rest until she delivers. She's 32 weeks. Apparently something is going on with her kidneys and her proteins are high so they have to monitor her constantly. They're at a 3.4 right now and she said if they get to a 5, they have to deliver baby Ellie! Please send positive thoughts and good mama vibes to my cousin Antoinette Thanks ladies, we know all will be fine but we just want Ellie to cook a little longer!

Lol no worries, I won't be temping anymore. Sorry to her about your cousin :/ hopefully everything will turn out okay and the little babe will be able to cook a little longer.

In other news, my dog is being SUPER weird. I'm not sure if it has to do with me being pregnant or if she's sick or what. I actually read about dogs having false pregnancies while their owners are pregnant crazy!

 

[clynn11]

Dogs can sense these things! Dear god let's hope she doesn't go through a false pregnancy! That would be fun for Chad to deal with, two pregnancies at once!!! Hahahahaha.

 

[MrsAmk]

Sorry Morgan, Ive been MIA for a bit. My EDD is 5/26/14 based off conception, but by the first fetal measurement, 5/23/14

 

[TTCaWee1]

My cat kept crawling all over me and sleeping on my belly before my bfp. My dad was visiting and asked if he was always like that because he noticed too. My cat has been extra needy since. When I pee, he has to come in the bathroom. When I shower, he sits between the liner and the curtain. Every time. Never did that before. He is always at my side lol. It will be interesting when this baby comes...

 

[morganwhite7]

Dogs can totally sense pregnancy!! And I've heard of the DH phantom symptoms too, where they get sick and helpless and some even grow bellies too?!! (posting article at the bottom, crazy!!) Lol I tell DH everyday- trustttt me if you felt how I feel every morning (hit by a Mack truck hungover) you'd be a raging b***h sometimes, too!! I wish he could feel the way I do for a day! Haha some mornings I just sit there and laugh, I can't even believe how miserable I feel sometimes before Zofran when I'm still sleepy. So don't feel alone JULIE, I definitely get overwhelmed juggling my work and the nausea/fatigue. Only thing that keeps me going is this little life!! Really thankful for the days I feel good though. I'm ready to start enjoying mommyhood. Made a spice cake w/ cream cheese icing and a beautiful pot roast that's still simmering in the kitchen! One more hour, the smell is preggo torture!!!

Cass- I'm sorry about baby Ellie, I hope mama gets getter soon!

Ashlee- my cheapie tests took forever to get pos too, they are a great way to watch the levels rise, though. And like the other girls said- quit temping!! Nothing it can do now but make you worry, which is not what lil bean needs!

Nikki- Beautiful belly! So sorry about the shutdown, I always think of you when I see the news. So not fair, esp for a preggo mama- now is not the time! Makes me mad that they don't think of those situations and won't let you file for unemployment for these weeks.. I hope you get repaid :/

Molly- they always deliver based on due date by LMP, at least that's what my doc said. Unless they're over 9lbs at 37wks or whatnot, then a diff story I was wondering too since our bean was measuring ahead a whole week. I adjusted my ticker anyways, since we'll be having a csection 10 day before his/her due date. Are you having a csection too? And adding 5.26.14 to the list!!

I think I still need Rachel & Julie's due dates, but going back to make sure I didn't miss em!

 

[clynn11]

Awww there's a little peach and a little lime in the group! Can't believe your babes are already that big!

OMG this guy..

 

[MrsAmk]

Morgan, no I am not planning a C-section. Of course I'll have one if needed, but I dont feel it's necessary to plan one. Are you just to be safe or is there a medical reason?
