TTC/ Post M/c Support Week of 2/8/09

I buy my pg tests at dollar store. :p

I have horrible insomnia when I'm pregnant. I end up taking Ambien (category C) daily....otherwise I just dont' sleep. I"m not nervous, or stressed....just can't sleep.

I did Cardio Coach 6 today, 4.5 miles of absolute bliss!!!

Bethany, how's your "lack" of exercise going? R U following doctors orders?!?!? Your periods should regulate within 14 days or so. Some drs will put patients ON birthcontrol pills to regulate cycles.

Autumn, haven't seen you on FB!!!

We had ice storm today. I let the other pharmacist know that I'd be in 2 hrs last tomorrow. ;).....maybe I can get a workout in!!!!! I"m on a cardio coach kick right now. :)
 
Hey everyone!
Pricalla if my dh knew how many preg tests I bought he would not be happy. I do buy the cheap ones though.
Wendy-Im hoping af does NOT show up next week for you!!!!
Bethany-I also read today about the prog causing insomnia. I have never been the best sleeper, so I am not happy about this...but its worth it. I just try and take a cat nap during the day. My dd just turned 9. I will try and attach a picture of her.
Melanie-hi!! Have fun with your cardio.
Jen-how are you doing??

I did Amy Bento's Kickbox Extreme for only the second time! Melanie- I am really starting to enjoy the workout now that I am remembering the combos. The last one (5 I think) always gets me at the end. I also did MM abs. I just love that ab workout at the end for some reason. I love that she starts with lower abs first and I feel like I really target that area.

I don't know why but I think I am going to O earlier than normal. Actually I do know why and its just signs my body gives me. :)

I hope AF doesn't show for any of you guys! Then again....it might be lonely in here if you guys leave. Well, at least I know Bethany may not be going anywhere for a couple weeks! ;)

Grandpa is hanging in there. Apparently he is retaining like 20 lbs of water so once they can get that down he might go home with hospice or to a assisted living facility. Thanks for all your encouragement!

'Night all!

Ok so the one thing I don't like about taking Mucinex is that it gives me a runny nose!

Hi to everyone! I'll be back later to check in with everyone!
 
Hey!
Where is everyone today??
Hope everyone is doing good. Not much going on here today. About to go get Haley. She won 1st place in the spelling bee and is so excited. I cant wait to see her trophy. We are celebrating tonight.
Still have major insomnia.
 
Tell Haley congratulations! I was a spelling bee champ as a kid too! Now I am one of those annoying people that constantly corrects other work. :)

Grandpa is doing better. They are hoping he can get out in a few days and go to rehab. His organs are still failing but at least we can try to make him more comfortable. He is in so much pain from just laying in bed. But he is still making jokes and being cute. :)

Hope everyone else is doing well! Talk to ya tomorrow!

Jen
 
Hi Ladies

Double lines for me today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhh. My CM is egg white like too. I'ts funny how I have never paid attention to this until this month.

Jen, I'm glad to hear that your grandpa is feeling better despite of everything, it helps to be in a positive mood.

Bethany, counting down for you too!

Susan, this time around I promised myself Ill only do the two test that I have left from last month. I didn't get to use them b/c I got my AF first. LOL

Melanie, have you tested again?

Autumn, haven't heard from you

Wendy, I just joined that website you recommended. It also tell you when is more likely to conceive a boy or a girl. LOVE it! Thanks

Well, as you can imagine, I'll be gone for seriuos Bding! Yeah!!
 
Whew I'm really tired from working these longer days. I think I've been eating more sweets to "up" my energy and make myself feel less sad about spending so much time away from Taylor.

Susan, Haley is beautiful, she'll be beating the boys off soon! That's great about her spelling bee, you must be very proud.:)

Melanie, I've been on a CC kick too bc step still hurts my knee. I've been BETTER about listening to the OB - working out 5 days instead of 6-7 (about an hour/session). That's not too much, right?!?

Jen, I hope your grandpa will be more comfortable moving around in rehab. Any progress with the fluid he's retaining? And don't worry about everyone leaving...well...at least not me! I'll probably have to take 3 months of BC after this round of progesterone - we'll see.

Priscilla - YAY for the double lines!! Hope you get lots of "BDing" in!

Hi Wendy! When are you planning on testing again?

No AF for me yet...I'm waiting ever so patiently:rolleyes:
 
Yayy Pricialla!! Now, get busy!
Jen-Im glad your grandad is doing a little better..youre right..at least he can be comfortable.
Melanie-where are you girl???
Hi Wendy and Atumn HI Bethany!!
A good friend of mine who has been ttc and had one m/c a few months ago..got a bfp last Saturday. She found out yesterday it was ectopic. I am so sad for her. She wants a child so badly. Good thing is that she gets pregnant pretty quick. She is 38 and her hubby is 50something.
Well, I guess I will go to bed and NOT sleep again..whoohooo cant wait.
ok I have to brag on Haley one more time. Here she is with her trophy!

Hi ladies. i worked today. :)

Bethany, 5-hour long workouts are pretty intense (especially with Coach Sean). Can you bring it down to four 45 minute workouts? That would be a really reasonable amount....especially to prepare you for pregnancy. Your body needs a little bit of cushion to house your wee-one. After you birth, yo u can kick it back up again. How's your diet?

Precilla, yeah to two lines!!! Have fun!

susan, any cramping? hope you're feeling good....well not TOO good...you gotta have a little morning sicknes. :p

i got a BFN again. i'm not really suprised. i'm not sure if i ovulated last month. i feel crampy & have diarrhea & pimples today----which is indicative of my period---probably hit tomorrow.

i think i may take next cycle off. it's been an emotional rollarcoaster for me. i really don't think i'll use fertility meds. just need a break.
 
Melanie I totally understand about the rollercoaster. Usually when we "take off" is when it happens. Im praying for you! Besides the growing/painful bbs and the dry mouth thats about all I can speak about symptoms. I never got even nausaus with DD. I did get heartburn bad near the end though.
I found a pic today of me a week before I had Haley. I forgot got that big! I will post it later.
Good morning to everyone!
 
Melanie-Im not sure when I will tell Haley. She was heartbroken when I m/c the first time. When do they do the special testing?
Ok take a look at me preg with Haley..yikes!! the bangs...:eek:

hee hee. cute picture. did u get one of my friend? amazing!!!

what test are they talking about? will you do amniocentesis?
 
Susan - your daughter is beautiful. And in the pregnancy pic of you, you sort of remind me of Ricki Lake.

Priscilla - Glad you like the website. And congrats on the double lines.

Jen - I too am one of those people who correct peoples grammar. At work, I love the resumes that come in with errors everywhere but as their strong points it says they "pay great attention to detail" Really?

Well, I tested today -BFN. I knew it was way too early but the test was calling my name.:) My face has broke out w/ pimples and my breasts are sore so who knows what way this could go.

One thing I did that (in my mind) seemed to help w/ pregnancy the last 2 times was to avoid running and high impact for about a 1 1/2 weeks after ovulation. Has anyone else heard of this or is it just in my head?
 
Susan, they dod a quad test around 16 weeks, I believe. I wouldn't recommend it though---lots of false positives. :( I don't know when they offer amnios---probably around the same time.

Wendy, haven't heard anything about strenuous exercise after ovulation. When is AF due for you? i hope all my spelling errors don't irriatate you. ;)

waves to all!
 
I dont know if it helped but I avoided high impact whilte ttc. In my mind it just gave the sperm/egg a better chance of connecting.
Jen/Wendy-I too am a grammer freak. It's my main pet peeve. Haley even corrects her friends.
Melanie-spelling errors don't really bother me, its spoken grammer. I live in Ark so I hear a lot of "I done that". grrrrrr
