Day 3 Combined Family Fun (minus husbands) -
Teaching toddlers how to bowl.
Fun but extremely challenging ... not for the faint of heart.
On the symptom front - I absolutely embarrassed myself today.... Or should I say my daughter "helped?"
-
@Sams Mom: i totally get wanting to try everything you possibly can!
@Kaohinani: toddler bowling, not for the faint of heart! Kids are awesome for announcing the most embarrassing things
-
Well we certainly didn't skimp on the trying this month
-
@MamaBear87: You get an A+++ for effort!
-
@Sams Mom: I'm a little worried about this too! If I conceive this cycle my due date would be 2 weeks after my daughter's birthday.. She was born 10 days early so I'm guessing they'd have similar birthdays.
-
@MamaBear87: Impressive! I think we only got 3 tries in this month... whoops.
-
@skinnycow: my due dates would be 1 day apart, my son was almost a week early and I imagine this baby would be on the early side of things if it's as big as my son.
ETA: This would most likely be another c section, so I should be able to schedule them on different days
@MamaBear87: I would say you're covered!
-
@Kaohinani: looks like a lot of fun! Kids are just fantastic at pointing EVERYTHING out, even stuff that maybe shouldn't be π€£
-
@skinnycow: I'm at the point where I can deal with not being pregnant as long as we did everything we could. I feel way worse if we miss on the sex.
@Sams Mom: only takes once!
My friend has sons that share a birthday and they both think it's awesome so I wouldn't be too worried. Plus you only have to plan one birthday for awhile
-
@Kaohinani: now if only the effort had a guaranteed payoff!!
-
Yeah, as you can see, I was wearing khaki, she probably didn't have to point it out BUT everyone else was kind enough to keep their thoughts to themselves and just think I MAY have wet myself.
-
@MamaBear87: 2 of my nieces are almost irish twins by a couple days. They loved sharing birthday parties up until this last year (8 & 9).
-
@Sams Mom: interesting, hope it means good things for you!
@Kaohinani: π€£π€£π€£
@MamaBear87: A+ for sure! That looks like us this month, I was over it by the end! -
I JUST heard back (donβt tell me to come early so I can have results by lunch if you arenβt going to call until 3!!) and my number is 135!!! Iβm so relieved!
-
@MamaBear87: I know!!!
Hubby and I bed for 4 days straight bc my period was 4 days, I had 2 days of spotting, my HSG on day 7 and couldn't on "day 8" but did that night. My LH tests started picking up pace on day 9 so we BD on 8, 9, 10 (LH surge) 11 (OV detected), and again on day 13 before he left (Sperm meets egg style). We did it 2x a day on days 9, 10, 11. So 8x this cycle. Hopefully, something works! -
@LAZB: WOOT WOOT!!! That is a solid # 48 hours after a 44!!!
-
@LAZB: YAY!!!!
-
I have been super distracted trying to Potty Train my almost 2 year old Son. For some reason he does great all day but pees everywhere when DH gets home. So puzzling...
-
@LAZB: Yay! Congrats!
-
@Sams Mom: thanks! It a little more than tripled in 45 hours!
@Kaohinani: thank you!
@skinnycow: thanks! -
@Jessiemuller88: my son is 2y3m and he does great some days, and other days is a total bust. O to understand the interworkings of a two year old's logic
-
@Jessiemuller88: I can sympathize and empathize!
As perplexing as that may be, your son is doing better than my 3-year-old! -
@Sams Mom: man wouldnβt that be great?! I wish I could see inside that little mind
@Kaohinani: that must be so frustrating! I hope he comes back around to the idea soon. Yes Iβm off all summer, so Iβm the one spearheading the training. I definitely think the excitement has something to do with it now that you mention it.
Thanks ladies! Itβs nice to know youβre not alone.
-
@Jessiemuller88: When I was teaching (special ed) at the upper elementary school level, I helped potty train a few of my severely developmentally delayed students. Two of them would successfully void on the toilet at school but had difficulty at home simply because it was a different environment and because myself (and my aides) were the ones that began the laborious training process while utilizing time, structure, a positive reinforcement. It was difficult for the parents of those 2 students to simulate what was being done at school, therefore, the students lost consistency at home. Between his toddler excitement (for seeing his dad after "all day" ... SOOO hard when you are so little!), and being used to the way Mommy (you) does things, your son may be resistant to change simply became he doesn't understand his expectations (nor probably cares! Lol). Anyway, you are doing an amazing job, especially if he is mostly trained at his age!
-
@Kaohinani: thank you so much for your insight and encouragement! I appreciate you taking the time to relay your experiences. Iβm proud of him!
-
@Sams Mom: LOL. I would LOVE to understand my [speech-delayed] 3-year-old's logic more than anything... scratch that, make it why my 10-year-old does 90% of what she does.
Kids are funny, eh? -
@MamaBear87: wow. Out of curiosity are you guys naturally wanting to Bd this much? If you werenβt TTC, do you naturally have this frequency? Iβm impressed.
-
@LAZB: yay for great numbers!!!
@Jessiemuller88: my little is just now potty training and she's 2yrs 9months so I'd give you props for any sort of training at 2.
@yellowbeach: generally yes. With some variation. Hubby would probably do it twice a day if I let him. There's probably 1 day in there where I would have begged off if we weren't trying for a baby
-
9 dpo -
Fibromyalgia acting up, lightly crampy, tired ... Probably from all the outings and time with the kids and company. Temps dropped again (
I know it is still early but, bummer
Hey, at least my chart is still "pretty" (kinda sawtooth looking) even with the wayward temps! Lol* I'm assuming: Dip 1 was fallback, dip 2 (2-day) was a corpus luteum dip ... Thinking positively, maybe today could [possibly] be implantation. F'X and T'X!
-
@Kaohinani: Sorry
I, too, had a weak moment and decided to take a test this morning after having another temperature spike. BFN. I'm 9 or 10dpo so I know it's still early. I'm going to try to find my willpower again and not test until Saturday.
-
@MamaBear87: knower of all things progesterone symptom related. Have your boobs ever been ridiculously painful at 1 dpo? My boobs definitely hurt in my TWW, but this is not normal and kind of painful
-
@Sams Mom: I'd think with all your other crazy symptoms this month that it's likely just higher progesterone than normal. Hopefully a good sign!
-
@Sams Mom: Curious about the response because mine hurt around ovulation this month too and I've never noticed it before. I told my husband, "in a week when my boobs hurt and I'm convinced I'm pregnant, remind me of this moment when they hurt and was clearly not pregnant.'
-
@skinnycow: hahaha, my husband reminds me of these things when it's unsolicited π
I am so done with this cycle though, can I please be pregnant this time?
-
I am all for late potty training. I waited until my oldest was just past 3, and I feel like I had an easier time than people who trained earlier. Although my husband was the one who really did the training. My younger son is 30 months and showing some interest, but I am not in a rush. Maybe after my oldest starts kindergarten.
I am symptom spotting worse than usual, even though I know it is useless, I had totally different very early symptoms for my two pregnancies. I might test tomorrow if my temps are still up (11 dpo). Otherwise, or if I get a BFN, I will test Saturday before leaving for a trip.
-
@mdf106: Glad I'm not the only one! My daughter is 28 months and I haven't started potty training with her at all. She has all the readiness signs but I just don't really want to deal with it yet.
-
@skinnycow: i think you tend to notice things way more when ttc. Likely your breasts have been sore before at the same time you just aren't hyper aware like you are when trying for a baby
-
@Sams Mom: I'm hoping so hard for you!!
-
@MamaBear87: hopefully this is just the epitome of the perfect egg, and this is the one. Could extra progesterone symptoms be indicative of more than one egg? This is one rabbit hole I haven't been down so far. Ugggghhhhh
-
@Sams Mom: i don't think so but couldn't say for sure. I try not to think about twins
I know it is still early but, bummer
