2WW Monday Edition

@chaci why wouldn't you be able to eat shrimp while pregnant?

heart_of_virginia · September 2013

@jcsumm0 You're supposed to eat it in moderation, like all things. H was in the room when I was pg with DD as my OB was listing all the different do's and don'ts and that's the one thing that stuck.

Ahh... I see. I love shrimp but it was one of the few foods I had an aversion too while pg. DH is allergic to it so I wondered if it was somehow my body protecting the baby from it (which I realize sounds ridiculous) but DD doesn't seem to be allergic.

My excessive intake of coffee. I have cut back, but it by no means will go away. I'm in sales and my customers need to still like me. No caffeine= cranky bitch.

You think that sounds ridiculous, H doesn't like me to eat tomatoes when pg either. They make him really sick, so he doesn't want them to make the baby sick. That one, I just ignore haha.

Cycle/month: 3/4

CD/DPO: CD 36 / 11 DPO

Timing: O-4, O-3, O-1. O, O+1

Test plans: Well I caved and tested today, it was a BFN. I don't plan on testing again unless I miss AF.

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Well today started feeling more like AF symptoms and I got a BFN this AM so I don't have much hope for this cycle.

GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP? Sleeping on my stomach and deli meats.

yurmom · September 2013

Cycle/month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: not good enough
Test plans: BFNs
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Temp dropped like 4 days ago, still no f'ing period. I'm annoyed.
GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP? Being able to easily get out of bed, last time I had to logroll out.

**UPDATE on my past-the-time squinter**

So... I peed on a cheapie .88 Walmart test and saw another squinter. I was not sure what it meant but I decided to dip a FRER into my pee cup just for good measure and I got my clear BFP. I am freaking out!!!

What we did: BD everyday during fertile window, charted, and crossed our fingers!

How I told DF: We got into a little argument today so I texted him and said, "Can you come home right away please, we need to talk." and apparently I'm bad at lying because he responded with, "Just text me a picture of the positive pee stick!" LOL so that was uneventful...

EDD: June 4th based on LMP, June 5th based on O day.

Mushies: My stay here was very short, but I want to thank all of you ladies from the bottom of my heart!! I would never have learned about charting, temping, or any other fertility signs and this seriously would not have happened so quickly if I hadn't come here and learned everything I have. I'm going to miss the snark!

Hope it's okay if I still lurk here sometimes and I hope to see you all in 1st tri and June 2014 soon!!!

Turtle0806 · September 2013

Cycle/month: 4

CD/DPO: cd 26 / 8 DPO

Timing: good, as long as my CH don't move!

Test plans: Friday. 12 DPO

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I am getting sick with a cold. My temp this morning was totally not accurate ( mouth breathing in a cold room, restless sleep). I could barely breathe while temping! It wouldn't be a problem except my LP is still regulating from BCPs. So I could get my period anywhere between Wednesday and Monday! I need the temp drop to prepare. Grr! As far as symptoms, I could have sworn my period was on its way today. I had a sharp cramp while sleeping, and general abdominal tightness all afternoon. I actually had to sit in class today. Of course my coworkers were all like, "Are you preggo??!?!?!?!"

GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP? Sleeping on my side. Bras that I can buy off the rack (the girls are already huge. I'm a little scared). And of course, that extra cup of coffee!

What migraine medicine do you take? I take Keppra every day and am flat out worried about being off it.

@Imdonnel I take Keppra for seizures. A lot of keppra. I am terrified of being on it while pregnant (if i get KU) but in my case the benefits outweigh the risk. Now if only it would help me with the migraines, too!

TeeJ526 · September 2013

Congrats @Erica314!

Cycle/month: 4/7

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: O-2

Test plans: Next Sat. at the earliest.

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: My boobs started hurting in the middle of the night the same sort of way they did when I got my first BFP. I know it's probably all in my head, but it made me happy just to be optimistic about it.

GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP? Headache and migraine medicine.

@imdonnel I take Zomig. But I'm hoping to not take it very often when I get pregnant. I know it will mean learning to deal with the pain, but I would prefer to only take it if I really need it.

lebradford · September 2013

@Erica314 and @JulieSmiles

Congratulations to you both!!

sarahnicole218 · September 2013

Congrats @erica314 and @juliesmiles and happy and healthy 9 to you!

ara_cale · September 2013

Cycle/month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: O, O-2 and O+2 (I hadn't gotten a temp spike yet)

Test plans: I am going to force myself to wait until at least 13dpo.

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: This is my first ever 2WW and I am much more on edge than I thought I would be.

GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP?

Sushi or coffee, it's a toss up. I've been weaning myself off of coffee though.

megastar007 · September 2013

Cycle/month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4, -2, O, +1

Test plans: Been testing since 7DPO because I can All were BFNs... surprise surprise (I was really hoping to see at least a squinter today though)

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I really feel like this month might be it for us, but I hate having my hopes up. I've been super emotional, my temps are still above my coverline, I'm not spotting like I normally do before AF comes, and my BBs are a bit sore.

GTKY: What is the thing you'll miss the most for 9 months when you get your BFP? Coffee... for realzies

I have the Zomig nasal sprays for when I actually get a migraine. It knocks me out for a few hours and tends to help it go away. I am obviously very willing to try and deal with the pain, I've just had nothing but bad experiences with migraines, including one that was so bad while I was driving myself home (which I shouldn't have done) that I passed and wrecked the car. HORRIBLE to say the least. Just hoping for the best when I get a BFP I guess! Good luck to you too!
