TTGP Check-In 8/25

KirstinH88 · August 2016

This post is for those ladies who participated on the TTGP board before their BFP! I miss you ladies!

How far along are you? EDD?

How are you feeling?

R/R/Other:

Questions:

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO?

KirstinH88 · August 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 4w5d, 4/29

How are you feeling? Ok mostly. Same basic symptoms. Kind of surprised I'm feeling them so early. With DS I didn't have symptoms until about 6 weeks and also never got nauseous.

R/R/Other: Nervous until 6w (previous MC) and excited for my first U/S on 9/13. I'll be 7w3d.

Questions: Do you guys still look at the TTGP board? I miss those ladies....

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO?
I knew that I wanted to marry him when I saw what a good dad he is (I have 2 DSS). He is really hands-on and his boys absolutely LOVE him. It really warmed my heart and was important to me that I marry a man that would be an amazing father because I am all about family.

How far along are you? EDD? 6wks 3 days. 4/17

How are you feeling? Not terrible. Exhausted. Getting some acne... headaches EVERY DAY.. breast tenderness.. OK pretty crappy. But not much nausea

R/R/Other: the headaches! Anyone else?

Questions: anyone into essential oils? My sis gave my "past tense" and I'm getting mixed results about if I can use it in the first tri

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO? Probably in the first week. He's just so sweet and genuine. We get a long so incredibly well, I really think it was an immediate thing.

@KirstinH88 I dont. But now you've made me want to! I miss the board too.

KirstinH88 · August 2016

@SDSwenson I'll randomly go over there when I have some free time and this board is slower and just check it out. See who is getting their BFP. See who is getting close. Lurk my faves.

How far along are you? EDD? 4w4d, 4/30 (according to online)

How are you feeling? Just sort of strange. Not at all like I was expecting to feel, but let's be honest, I had no clue what I expected it to feel like. Little crampy, sort of nauseous sometimes, feeling like a sports bra is the best invention ever.

R/R/Other: I have loved watching DH these past few days. He's so excited and trying to do everything right. I was in the bathroom yesterday, coughed and he came running to make sure I was okay. Also, he's a personal trainer who is certified in pre-natal exercise and I take his class. He's already tailoring it for me ("Did you notice there was no jumping? If there's something you can't do, I'm just going to modify it for you because of a 'knee injury'. Go with it."). But, as he said, there's really nothing that I can't do until the second tri, he's just being overly cautious limiting the jumping.

Questions: Yup, I totally lurk over at TTGP. I've love titted a few things but that's been the extent of my interaction.

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO? It was so gradual that I don't really have a clue! There wasn't one thing that made me say "he's the one." It was just a natural and comfortable progression.

How far along are you? EDD?

7 weeks / April 11th

How are you feeling?

Overall okay, a bit cranky & nauseous and I have zero energy.

R/R/Other:

want more gifs up in here

Questions:

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO?
I would've said yes on the first date if he'd have asked me. Hah! It was solidified after we went on a weekend backpacking trip a few weeks after we started dating. We managed to get through the trek across the island without killing each other, so I figured that was a good sign. He asked my folks their blessing a few months later and proposed not long after.

@theJerilu we need more gifs!

TTGP GIF PARTY!!!

clover28 · August 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 6w5d, EDD 4/15. Last u/s put me a few days ahead of that.

How are you feeling? Like absolute dog poop. Zofran has me feeling a little bit better, Diclegis is doing nothing. I know its going to get worse before it gets better.

R/R/Other: This trimester is draaaaagging.

Questions: nothing today

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO? Probably after a year or so of dating.

KirstinH88 · August 2016

@clover28 I also feel like this trimester is dragging! And I'm not even 5 weeks yet! I can definitely vouch that the second trimester gets a lot easier. Even most of the third trimester is wonderful too. Just gotta keep sane through the tough first trimester.

artemis618 · August 2016

(I mostly participated in TTGP after 35 because it was less overwhelming for me, and only for a couple of months since cycle #2 appears to have "worked")

How far along are you? EDD? Same as @SDSwenson (6w3d, 4/17 - DH's birthday) based on LMP and O date per temping (first appointment's not for a couple of weeks yet)

How are you feeling? So tired. Irritable lately. Tender nipples, a little bloat, a few zits. No nausea yet to speak of. I have had a couple of bad headaches in the last week and a half or so, but not continuously. I did miss Excedrin at those times though.

R/R/Other: I wish there were more houses on the market here. But at least house shopping and pregnancy had kept me from focusing exclusively on one or the other!

Questions: Just wondering what's next. Also, I read that a tilted uterus (apparently I have one per a lumbar MRI report from a while back) can make it harder to find things with ultrasound (and I'm not even sure when I'll get one), so wondering about that. And still with the AMA stuff.

GTKY: When did you know that you wanted to marry your SO? At some point while we were dating, I noticed the lack of drama. I know that sounds really dumb (especially since we didn't meet till I was 37), but I was just happy.

How I felt today unbuttoning my pants and pulling my tank top over them so I could get away with it at work

How far along are you? EDD?
5w2d, April 25 based on ovulation

How are you feeling? Overall, good. Irritable, super smell, tingly boobs, lots of CM, bloat and twinges in lower abdomen. Small episodes of nauseau last week but nothing the past few days! It arrived at 6w with DD so we'll see.

R/R/Other: Same on the first trimester dragging. Downside of tracking and finding out so soon-knowing those few days sooner makes it feel a month longer!

Questions: Anyone using the FF Pregnancy Tracker? I purchased a year of VIP in July so I switched it over to the tracker and so far, not impressed. I'd love to hear others experiences!

GTKY: When he fit in so well with my family. That weekend trip home had me ready to change my name!

KirstinH88 · August 2016

@belocin I set myself up in FF for the pregnancy tracker, but I don't have VIP, so it just tells me how far along I am, how many months, etc. I don't get the other features and was wondering if they were any good. But you not being impressed answered my question.

I do know that you can put your VIP status on hold and then reactivate it after baby comes or when you are ready to start tracking your cycles again.

nwshay · August 2016

Our symptoms are even the same @artemis618

Glad I have and EDD buddy!

artemis618 · August 2016

@belocin I tried it briefly when it told me to stop tracking fertility signs and switch over, but then decided to just pause it (which I didn't even know was an option till Businesswife told me). I paid up for my discounted year on 8/1 and got my BFP on 8/10 - I'll be 39 in several weeks and thought it might take a while to get KU.

@SDSwenson Yup, although not confirmed just yet. Curious to see whether it will move since I was actually paying attention and temping. Guess we should be grateful for not being nauseous? I swear I look for moments of nausea! Though somewhat irrational, the lack of nausea concerns me a little (I think I'm a good ten years older than you are!) I am trying to relax and accept that what will be will be (not really my MO), but it's tough being a bit of a worrier.

nwshay · August 2016

My due date is not confirmed yet either @artemis618 so we will see! I'm trying be thankful for no nausea but it's concerning to me as well. Especially after a loss. I'm trying not to stress but it's hard. And ya, you are 10 years older. Haha but who cares!?

belocin · August 2016

@KirstinH88 @artemis618 Thank you for the suggestion! I put my account on hold today!
