@karenbme: Yea, my lab is 85 ish lbs of love and stupid, so not an ideal lap dog. He was more in the 40 something pound range for my son's pregnancy.
@Kaohinani: She will do great! Remington was so squirrelly and terrified of kids, but Sam came home and that was it.
-
I thought last month's cycle was weird, but this one is taking the cake. I might even O after CD 15 the way it's going (latest I've ovulated since having my son, and only that late with 150 my Clomid)
-
I couldn't resist posting this after all of our wine
🍾 speak the other night. I'm certain a few of us could truly appreciate it (along with a warm bath or nice shower) after a long day.
-
@Sams Mom: I fortunate feel pretty good today. Staving off a full blown illness I hope. Turns out I have to work tonight overnight at a shelter for the hurricane. Should be easy money
-
So, I found out today I have the MTHFR mutation. Anyone else have this? Although it's not necessarily the cause it could explain my MC/semi-difficulty conceiving the second time around.
The mutation makes it difficult for your body to utilize folic acid correctly and apparently drinking green tea makes it worse. I drink 3-4 cups/day
Guess I'll be stopping.
-
@skinnycow: Wow, I'm sorry to read that.
-
@skinnycow: I don’t (that I know of), but it is soooo common, so I wouldn’t panic too much. Definitely cut the green tea, and switch up your prenatal if you need too.
-
@Kaohinani: I know - I thought I was making a healthy choice!
@LAZB: I read that 1/4 people have it so it's very common! I ordered new prenatals and won't be drinking green tea anymore. I'm glad I found out!
-
Hi ladies, I hope everyone is doing well!
I promised myself. I wouldn’t test until a few days after AF was due but now I’m dying to go to the dollar store and get some tests
otherwise I’ll be waiting another week to POAS on the 20th. AF is supposedly due Sunday.I haven’t really had any symptoms except some weird stabbing pains in my stomach two nights ago.
@skinnycow: I have the mthfr mutation. I take folate or methylfolate instead of folic acid. Supposedly it’s easier to absorb than folic acid for women with this mutation. I also cut caffeine for the most part a few months ago but I have the occasional cup of weak green tea or matcha. I’m sure you are OK but I also know the stress Dr Google can bring
Eta to add: I’m sorry about your m/c.
I had two before my son but it was determined to be due to a uterine abnormality and not the mthfr. Neverless it’s so heartbreaking . Hoping you get your healthy bfp this month
-
@skinnycow: Ugh, so sorry to hear this! But at least there's a way forward. Fingers crossed now that you know you'll get your sticky baby.
-
I would say tomorrow is the day
ETA: It is just wrong that the First Response OPKs look like their pregnancy tests #onlywayIcanget2linesonthedangthing
-
@Sams Mom:
-
@Kaohinani: I KNOW!!! I got so sad looking at the damned thing because it looks just like their dang HPTs!!! The only difference is a clear cap instead of a pink one and the "legend/key" for pregnant/not pregnant.
When I finally get pregnant there will be like 10 people tagged before you even get to a picture
-
So, I made an impulse buy after my thermometer pulled some sheisty moves this morning. I JUST bought the Tempdrop.
-
@Sams Mom: Lady, I better be on that tag list!
-
@Kaohinani: I've heard good things about them, badgermom has one for sure I know. Hey, if it takes buying one to get pregnant before you even use it, I'd buy one
-
@Kaohinani: And yes, of course you're on that list
I can't make any promises about the no beverage rule though -
@Sams Mom: Exciting! Go get it, lady.
-
@karenbme: I have to make tonight and tomorrow count because I will be out of town this weekend and my husband works 2nds all weekend. So hopefully O-3, O-1, & O covers my bases for me.
-
@Kaohinani: Oooh, tempdrop looks so fancy! And if it's going to give you peace of mind, it's worth it. Besides, if you're putting in the effort to temp, you need something that's going to work consistently.
-
@Sams Mom: Sounds like a solid plan. Those days should cover your bases for sure.
-
@Sams Mom: I just got really excited thinking that was a frer!!!
-
I caved and went to dollar tree and bought $1 test
Anyone use their “ brand” before? I’m planning on taking it Monday if AF doesn’t come on Sunday
-
@magnolia: YOU'RE TELLING ME
Here's to a repeat 2 lines in 14 days
(I totally got 8 First Response OPKs and 1 FRER on clearance at walmart for $12)
-
@skinnycow: De-lurking to let you know you're not alone. I also have the MTHFR Gene and found out half way through my last pregnancy when everything was seeming to go wrong. Luckily we were able to make the corrections and I went on to have a healthy baby. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant with #2. Folic Acid wont be absorbed correctly so I take a high dose of Methylfolate along with my prenatal, I started this while TTC and I really think it helped. While pregnant I have to take Blood thinner injections along with baby aspirin. Dr Google is very scary and I would get myself all wrapped up in it, but the best solution is to just breath and follow your doctors instructions. Let me know if you have questions or just want to talk about it as I know it can play some mind games on you. Hang in there and I'm so sorry about your MC.
-
@magnolia: I've seen them on Glow a lot, I imagine they're very similar to the $0.88 Walmart ones
-
@Sams Mom: that’s a good deal! After going crazy POASing last month I was determined not to spend too much. I have one digital that I am “saving” too
-
@karenbme: That is what I was thinking as well! I'm trying to envision it as an "investment" in my fertility health and sanity.
-
@Magnolia: @Sams Mom: I haven't touched my stash of FRERS yet. Been using 10 MIU internet cheapies half knowing that if I implanted at 7 dpo (the day of my temp dip) or even on 8 dpo and my HCG levels were at 2.5 or less, I wouldn't register positive on one until after 12 or 13 dpo at a 48 hour rise and by 14/15 dpo by a 72 hour rise. My goodness, I'm such a POAS geek 🤓! Lol. 🤣
Hey, Sam's Mom - Guess what is for supper tonight?
-
@Kaohinani: I have 2 FRERs that I will try to avoid for a while, 3-4 CB Digitals hidden in my home that my sister won't tell me where one is until I send her a picture of a positive line test, and about 8 internet cheapies... So hopefully I can survive on that
-
@SamsMom: I've got a crazy stash.
I could host a "POAS Party" over here.
-
@Kaohinani: BAHAHAHA! That is soooooo me!
-
@Kaohinani: lol amazing! Can I come over??!!
-
Hey, does anyone know what it means when a clear blue OPK reader does this and doesn’t return a result? I lost the instructions months ago...
-
@karenbme: Kaohinani will know better than I, but I want to say not enough pee or it's not pushed all the way in? That is a total guess though, it's been months since I've used one.
-
@magnolia: Sure - wine, crudites, and POAS fun! A great girls' night in.
-
@Kaohinani: the pineapple is definitely a symptom! I craved it my entire pregnancy with Ds!
Right now all I want to eat is bread. But maybe that’s PMS cravings
-
@karenbme: I can't remember exactly, but I believe that either it is that the stick was either not all the way in (or was ejected too soon) OR there is a testing error and it wants you to use another stick. I would check the Q&A section OR the downloadable insert on their website.
-
@magnolia: I hope the pineapple is! But I can't get over not having sore breasts. My first 2 full term pregnancies and that was a HUGE symptom. This time only cramps. IDK. I'm leaning to weird cycle.
-
@Kaohinani: well fwiw I had crazy letdown type soreness last cycle and was
. I don’t remember boob soreness until much later on when i was pregnant with my son. Still hopeful for you!
Guess I'll be stopping.
