Re: WTO Friday 3/9

  • @galactickates She does know and she asks for updates everyday and keeps up with my appts and tests! So I know she is thinking of me but, it's still hard when she refers to her pregnancy and baby.
    @dragonette505 Yes, first time reading them and watching them! Can you believe it?! When I was in middle school our teacher made us listen to the first one on tape and I think it turned me off of them. I just started them a couple months ago! :) I didn't know what I was missing!

  • @holly321 I use the easy@home app in addition to FF; the easy@home one lets you take photos of the test strip OPKs and shows the progression that way, so I just take a picture with the app within the timeframe. Screenshot in the spoiler.


  • @meladams10 - the reference range for 21dpo test is typically Your range of normal can vary among labs BUT this is a common reference range. Do you know what measure it was - ng/mlL or nmol/L? Guessing it was nmol/L. Did you get a copy in your patient portal? 

    Did she have any idea what was causing your spotting? The thought would be low progesterone but you're clearly not low ... :(

  • @catlady2015 It does say ng/ml for the range, so I must be good with P, which is weird. I had convinced myself it was the issue. You know when I went to ask her about this and asked for a hormone level test she didn't even test my progesterone! I had to call and ask for it specifically! She put "she may benefit for progestin support during pregnancies if she has issues with miscarriage" in my chart... why wouldn't she test my P from the get go?! My HSG is the next step.. 
  • @lin0442 That's awesome! What are you up to?
  • @meri-mac A Cthulhu-lite one shot on Saturday, and a regular D&D 5E campaign game on Sunday. *nerd alarm sounds*

    @maureenmce Oh no, I hope your foot gets better soon! Embarrassment makes any injury worse :(

  • @maureenmce I hope your foot is ok! I was definitely torn between grandparents and famous people, but I thought, well people here don't know who my family are so I went with famous. But of course your dad! I'm so sorry he passed when you were so young. And sorry too about waking up to someone else's bfp. That's shitty to say the least.

  • meladams10   OK! Good to know!!! I wont spoil anything... most of us potter heads could go through life quoting these books and movies to a level where we will ruin all the surprises!!! LOL. I hate any craze, so when they came out, I wouldn't read them... then my little sister had the first three books and gave them to me... I read them and was like a crackhead outside barnes and nobles waiting for all the rest of them to be written and released. Lucky you they are all written and you don't have to do that!
    maureenmce How amazing would it be to talk to that ancestor!! Especially a colonist in Virginia.... those guys had some hard times! Also I just imagine seeing some bit of yourself in them and seeing how it made its way into you!  And UGH with that fall!! I worked at a place with floors like that (as if work isn't torture enough..lol) and we had a few accidents too
    lin0442 Very true about lab values and reference ranges! Good reminder :)


  • suzycupcake  Sorry youre feeling in a funk... I feel like I was that way for the past couple months so I get it.... These hormones are a beast! I took 6 months off to loaf a bit and I felt intimidated internally by the idea of setting too many goals and expectation. I had only one rule: Out of the house by 11AM. No matter if it was for a walk or doing errands, I found getting myself out by 11 Am meant I still got up at a reasonable time and it made me pull myself together. I also at some point decided to walk everywhere I went (I live in NYC so its possible) It made me time manage better to be places and was great exercise. Those were my only two rules (and they were not hard and fast, just a baseline framework. But TBH.. I was pretty productive during that time and was pretty motivated by just those two rules
  • @fantasyflyte @suzycupcake it's for a birthday party. I'll post pictures! Its my first fancy attempt. So here we go haha!
  • @dragonette505 That's a great idea thank you. To make a rule to be out of the house by a certain time. We just moved to this neighborhood two years ago and I've never gone for a walk in it. I know that's sad lol I can take my doggie with me. I need to exercise anyway. 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

  • @eleven_ It was 8 dpo or CD20. 
    @lin0442 That was thoughtful of you to include your DH at the dinner! 
    @dragonette505 That's been the best part of waiting. I'm able to read the book and then watch the movie with no waiting! 
    @suzycupcake I'm definitely going to bring it up to her when I see her for my HSG! Sorry about your funk :( It sounds like you're ready to get out of it though with a good schedule! Maybe that daily walk would make you feel better! Exercise helps cure many ills!

    @suzycupcake Sorry you're in a funk! Seconding @dragonette505 's suggestion of being up and out of the house for something (coffee, errands, whatever) by a certain point in time. Also, being outside for a little bit every day really helps me. Just a walk around your neighborhood, do yoga in the park, just something to let the sunshine on your skin. Also, if you're off for a while, maybe think of something fun you want to do every day. Small things like treat yourself to ice cream and maybe bigger things like go to a museum or the beach. The cool thing about being off work through the week in LA (I assume you're in LA bc of the whole reality tv thing?) is you can finally go to places that are usually crowded, like the beach of the Getty, etc. Good luck!

    @lin0442 Thank you! It was definitely embarrassing and then I had to fill out an incident report today so was doubly embarrassed, haha. Oh well, at least I'm covered if I have to go to urgent care or get it looked at.

    @rosebud332 Thank you!  And yeah, famous people make way more sense for a GTKY! It was a really fun question and so cool to see everyone's answers.
  • @suzycupcake Sorry you are having a rough go. I think a schedule would work well. I will miss my boss. She got me this job because she knew I was unhappy at my old one. She always looked out for my well-being.
  • I should have specified about keeping opks and I did read the test in the time frame, I guess I just didn't get how/why people have them for days to compare.

    @meladams10, I really didn't find anything really exciting shopping. But it was nice to be out and just doing something for me.

    @dragonette505, my test this morning was darker than the one two days ago ( I forgot to test yesterday...) The one I just took was lighter than earlier.

    @maureenmce, I hope your foot feels better!  But I wouldn't put too much stock into ability to move something and it not being broke.  I broke my arm years ago and had no idea.

    @suzycupcake, sorry you are in a funk.  I 100% need some sort of schedule or routine, if I don't I get depressed and out of sorts. And I do feel better, thanks for asking!

  • @suzycupcake It`s feeling so much better I`m able to walk on it now without a cane or crutches.
