Re: TTC Tuesday

  • TCC

    I still don't fully understand what the abbreviations mean...But this is week 3 of TTC.  
    My cycle starts again around March 7, so if nothing happens then I'll be peeing on a stick.

    Side note: I went to the doctor yesterday to talk about pills for migraine relief and I mentioned that I'm TTC.  Turns out none of the pills are actually safe for women TTC or pregnant, but I was given some literature on pregnancy in general.  That was the first time it really hit me that I could have a baby this year.  Wow!

  • Pregnant Girls:

    How many weeks: 29 weeks, 5 days

    How are you feeling? Pretty good. We did a lot of running around on Saturday and I'm still feeling the effects today. I guess I overdid it, lesson learned.
     
    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Not baby related, but our pup is gone. She was picked up last Tuesday and put in a foster home after we called and talked to them. It's really hard, I miss her :(

  • @christinavy - a lot of us use(d) an app/website called fertility friend. You can track your peroids, temps and ovulation tests, symptoms, etc.  A lot of the acronyms are from there.   It's a really good resource for TTC and explains how to temp etc if you want to start that.

  • Pregnant Girls:

    How many weeks: 25w3d

    How are you feeling? Uncomfortable. Baby has discovered my bladder and frequently bounces around on it or gives it a good boot.


    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Baby has developed an irregularly regular HB, so we're getting an echocardiogram done on Thursday. Nothing is physically wrong with the heart and the doctor said it's likely going to disappear by birth, but I'm nervous all the same.

  • Pregnant Girls:

    How many weeks: 8w3d

    How are you feeling? pukearella. new record of 9 times yesterday...fun! And cried hysterically in the car b/c my parents' cat has to go to the vet today. 

    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? ummm...I need to stop peeing on things. I had a few spare tests so, I peed on one...and the line was lighter and I freaked out. The next day too. Then I read about the hook-like effect (in a real scientfic journal) that if hormone levels are too high the test can read it right anymore, and if you dilute the pee it actually works better. so I'm calm again and will stop peeing on things now. I'm a bit crazy and obsessive right now!!! my midwives do a confirmation appt. at 6-8 weeks, a history appt. at 8-10 weeks and a full physical at 12-14 weeks....so I am just nervous until the full physical. And, we're supposed to tell the in laws this weekend, and I'm pretty sure MIL cannot keep her mouth shut and will ruin it for me telling everyone, so we'll see how that goes. Also, my students think i'm pregnant b/c I pee so much, so we'll see how long I can hold out without telling them!

  • Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 weeks until 8 months...

    How do you feel? good, tired, LO woke around 2 am for her pacifier which she sometimes cant find in her crib so i got up to give it to her to find out at some point she puked/spit up and was sleeping in it and it was all over. I had to undress her and pull the sheets of the bed, as im calling for H (bc its not like he can hear her crying or anything at this pointe) and he is like what?? um COME HELP ME! Thankfully she went back to sleep with her fresh pj's and clean sheets after i wiped the puke out of her hair! Daycare hasnt called so im assuming she is ok and it was bc she had a tummy ache from the peas and then eating her night time bottle late and then passing out she didnt get a chance to digest it all! My poor baby!

    Any Milestones this week? nothing to report just that i feel like she changes everyday and is growing up to quickly=(

    Yep it is a great resource. I think I read on the bump that you weren't going to chart (I feel slightly stalkerish since I recognized your screen name!), but there are still good resources to understand more about the process. For this thread they include:

    CD: cycle day
    DPO: days past ovulation (if you've confirmed O with temping)
    O: ovulation
    W2O: waiting to O, the follicular phase is the time from your period to O
    2WW: two week wait, the luteal phase is from ovulation to your period

    I used POAS which is pee on a stick,
    for testing.

    Those are some of the basics.

  • TTCers:

    Cycle/Month: 12

    CD/DPO: 2

    W2O or 2WW? W2O

    Testing plans: I go tomorrow for my day 3 blood work and ultrasound.

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I went last week to the doctor about ttc and they are running testing on me and H to find out what is going on so by mid/late March we should have some kind of answer on what to do next. I scheduled all my testing but H threw a tantrum about his test so we will see how long it will take for him to actually set up his appt.

  • You remember correctly! I'm way too lazy to actually do any real work to get pregnant but I will still check the site.
    Daisypath Anniversary tickersimage
  • @WillyH19 I am sorry your pup is gone.  I know you made the right decision for you, but it doesn't mean that it's easy.  I hope you begin to feel better about it soon!

    @christinavy There are a lot of medications that are not safe in pregnancy.  Definitely look into that further, especially if you're not charting and you aren't sure whether you could be pregnant or not.

    @mana8503 Your morning sickness is far worse than mine, but I promise you there's a light at the end of the tunnel.  I do get sick on occasion though.

    @islandmonkey8 I have been praying for you!

    @lwoehlk I am sure that it's rough to hit the one year mark.  I am praying for you also.

    Pregnant Girls:

    How many weeks: 16 weeks.

    How are you feeling?  Tired.  H wasn't feeling well and woke up in the middle of the night.  It woke me up and I couldn't fall back asleep for over 2 hours. 

    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?  I have my 16 week scan on Thursday.  I can't wait to see my baby again!!!  I have a picture of my bump, but I'm too lazy to connect my camera to the computer to upload it.  I'll do it a little later.
  • @sjs1013 have you announced to you co-workers yet? I remember you saying some co-workers were asking about it before you'd announced. :)

  • @xxjen015 I told them at the end of January, after the 12 week screening.  The few who were asking were like, "I knew it!"  Everyone is excited, it's very cute.
  • @WillyH19 - I would be sad too, but it's for the best.

    @jwrenne - I hope you get some answers soon! 

    @sjs1013 - I really hope it eases up soon too.  I did read up on the zofran, and for Chemo patients it said to take it an hour or two before the treatments.  So I took one dose 2 hours before I usually feel sick in the evening, and I was so much better last night.  Even ate some dinner!  Then last night I took one when I got up to pee at 230a so I feel so much better when I woke up!  I feel like I cracked the code... and hope it stays.

  • @sjs1013:  thanks for the tip, but I'm currently not on anything.  I saw my doctor about migraine relief meds and told him I was TTC.  He didn't give me anything because they are all unsafe for pregnant women.
