Re: TTC Tuesday

  • 14/13
    CD1
    W2O
    No testing plans

    I am so close to giving up hope for a 2015 baby. I believe there is a reason I'm not pregnant yet but it is hard staying positive when I don't know what reason.

  • So it's CD 22 and I started spotting heavily.  I actually had to use a tampon.  I know FF says to mark that as day 1 but I'm going to see what happens the next few days first.  Since last year I was so out of whack, I think my body is just adjusting.  My chart almost looks normal, so I think I'm definitely moving in the right direction, even if this is a short cycle.  I'll take a few short cycles over those long crazy ones ANY DAY!

  • Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 months

    How do you feel? Blech

    Any Milestones this week? He's been doing mini crunches. He wants to hold his head up all the time.

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? He had his weight check today. He was 3 ounces shy of gaining a pound this month. So now we have to see an LC and need to have a weight check in a month. I'm now pumping after almost every feeding. I noticed a dip in my supply the last week. I'm assuming it has a lot to do with all the crap going on in my life right now. I'm really frustrated.
  • @ilovecatsandknitting sorry for CD1.  Big hugs!

    @goatlady12 I'm sorry so much is going on right now and I hope things get better soon.  You're doing a great job and don't be too hard on yourself.

    Pregnant Girls:


    How many weeks: 32w3d

    How are you feeling? Meh.  I stayed home yesterday and the day before.  I overdid it this weekend and really hurt my hip.  I couldn't walk without major pain.  Thankfully it's feeling better but still tender.

    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?  Lots to say!
    1 - Shower was this weekend and we had a great turn out.  Everyone complimented on how nice it was and they were surprised they had a good time.  The games went over really well and it looked like everyone had a good time.  I ended up doing a lot more than I should have/wanted to, which I knew was going to happen.  I got really frustrated and had a hard time holding it in, but I got through it.  I'm very thankful for everything that was gifted to us and we almost have everything we need.
    2 - I had my check up yesterday and my OB said I'm measuring a little big.  I was surprised because I only gained .4lbs since my last appt.  Not sure if I should be worried and I totally spaced on asking her what the potential issues are with that.  She said we'd see how I measured at my next appt and if I'm still measuring big, than we'll do a growth US.
    3 - We're going on vacation starting Saturday.  The kids are on spring break next week so we're taking them to New Orleans and then to Florida.  I'm really nervous about it.  I just don't want to be in pain or discomfort and hold them back from having a good time.  I'm also worried about the long car ride on the way back.  On the way there. we'll be stopping halfway to NOLA, then we'll stay in NOLA for two nights and then drive to Pensacola, so 3-4 hours at most to each destination.  But on the way back, we're planning on driving straight through, which is about 11 hours without stops.  Hopefully it won't be as bad as I'm imagining.
    4 - Bump Pic :)

  • @mrshall1027 - I did MD-NC around the same time.  Just take lots of potty breaks, midwife said every 2 hours to prevent blood clots.  It wasn't too bad, I was def tired when we got there (9 hours) and H let me nap.  Maybe your H can take the girls somewhere to let you rest?  We did 9 hours down on Friday, 9 hours back Sunday.  It wasn't too bad.

    @goatlady - Ugh I'm so sorry your supply is low.  I've had it happen a few times, and freaked out every time.  Flax seed meal in my oatmeal helped a lot, and TONS of water.  When I was sick I was chugging 100 oz / day.

  • @mana8503 My supply has never been awesome, but the recent dip has been terrible.  I've been making a lot of lactation cookies with oatmeal, brewers yeast and flax seed.  When I don't get around to making them I'll have a bowl of oatmeal every morning with flax and BY (well and brown sugar because let's face it BY is gross!)  I'm about to get some fenugreek, but I'm not sure if I should get that before or after I see the LC.  I'm trying to not overly stress out since it will only make my supply worse.  You know the whole don't be scared of the dog because dogs can sense fear, so then you are scared that you're going to get scared type of deal.  lol!

    Also, I updated my siggy pic so you can all see my tiny little peanut.
  • @goatlady12 - I totally get it.  And I agree BY is GROSS!  Ugh I put that in my oatmeal but only when I'm desperate.  Are you making enough for little man to eat?  On my walk at lunch I was thinking about it, and around 3 months your supply does regulate and you only make enough for baby.  I stopped getting so engorged / pumping as much after she ate.  Cue freak out.  I swear, I've never over thought something so much as I do with BFing.  I hope the LC helps!

    He dropped below the 1%ile.  UGH!  But on my scale he's weighed the same amount for a week.  So he hasn't gained anything in a week, likely because of my stress levels.  Hopefully I can get my milk back up.  And I hear you I feel like 90% of my thoughts are about BFing!
  • @goatlady12 I'm sorry about all of the stress from BF and needing the LC, but a happy thought...I love the new pic! He looks so happy. <3<3

  • hugs @goatlady12! You are doing a great job feeding and caring for Alex. Try not to stress too much. 

    This coming from someone who still stresses about my supply 10 months in. 

    You can do it! I hope the LC is helpful. If she isn't don't hesitate to try another LC. Also, have you reached out to your local Le Leche League? They were incredibly helpful to me!

  • @goatlady12 I've been taking Fenugreek for months to help with my supply & it does make a difference for me.
