I actually had the pot stirrer in my first BMB. She was interesting and entertaining to have around. I didn't make the move to FB so I haven't kept up much. We also had TB go nuts just as everyone was getting established, and most of us jumped ship to TCF. I managed to do both for a bit, but after L came it was just too much.

spottedginger · October 2017

@princesslockness I love this gtky. Props, lady. I won’t bore you with my stats (still ntnp), but there were lots of good threads and drama in D15. Plus excellent snark. The marijuana one keeps getting resurrected for some reason, but we also had several threads get not even shut, but deleted by the gods. One was a girl who wanted help scamming social services (basically, how can I keep them from finding out I’m getting married since I will get more assistance etc as a single mom and I am going to claim my parents address rather than my house (with fiancée/ bf) since I don’t want them to include his income on their calculations). You can bet how that went over. I actually saved the screenshots from the warning I got on that thread. We also had a ton of fun, too. The fisting thread was my favorite of all time.

princesslockness · October 2017

@spottedginger I remember stalking those threads! I LOL'ed so hard at the fisting one. Also, the 'I'm a pornstar how do I stop my boobs sagging and flapping so I can go back to work.' one. Don't remember what BMB it was, but daaaammmn that was a funny one.

We had some hardcore name ones that got warnings and deleted.

@shortstack930 It was hella crazy. I think we got everyday in, but idk if it they were worth counting.

spottedginger · October 2017

True story, most of the reason I stalk intro threads is for the bumpies I remember so I can either cheer them on or get out the popcorn. Truth, I don’t have the post from D15, but I still remember the worst of the worst.

GTKY: In light of Friday's drama in June '18, Did you have any drama filled threads or topics on previous BMBs? Not really. Though I gave up about 4m in. I got tired of everyone complaining about the format, and wanting to go to fb, and whining about science not agreeing with them. I think it's just that so many join only after pregnancy and don't know board etiquette but decide those who have been here are wrong - because dang it they said so. And if you want fb format, join a group on fb. You joined the bump, so use THAT format. So I didn't participate much.

I ended up with an infection, hospitalized for three weeks and a wound vac. L has delays (maybe age related) and some health issues. We really want more kids but realized this weekend that we have had 5 hospitalizations, 9 ED visits, 12 specialist visits, 34 pediatrician visits, and various tests/procedures done this year. That doesn't count his weekly therapies... just not sure how we would do this with two!

May 16 was pretty tame. Someone started a hot topics thread in the very beginning that got a lot of the usual drama out at once (circumscion, piercing ears, etc). I've read a lot of drama on older boards and since the mass exodus and rebranding of TB in early 2016, the BGs shut stuff down before it gets really fun, as happened with the June 18 thread.

I think we had a weight gain thread get pretty heated, and someone started calling people the "thread police" which had a lot of fun cop gifs. There was also a small feud with June over something, and people were posting chicken nugget GIFs as an inside joke. Since we have a few May 16 vets on here maybe they will remember anything I forgot!

princesslockness · October 2017

@zoepac Welcome!!!! I'm glad you joined up!! I had an emergency C with L. E was her own set of SUPER FUN /s problems.

My husband wasn't there, and we couldn't get a hold of him. No one knew where he was, what he was doing, or if he would come back to the hospital anytime soon. Luckily, he went home took care of the puppers, then hit the hospital. He got there just as L was released from recovery/all his tests.
With E I had an 'incompetent cervix' which ended up holding perfectly fine until 38 weeks, with the cerclage removed at 33w6d. We had a L&D trip every week minimum. When we finally got cleared to have my water broken at 38w, she came before they got my iv in. I was yelling about 'how would you know this shot will make it feel better, you don't have a F****ing vagina' when she came out, then next contrax I got my IV. then had to be knocked out while he manually retrieve the placenta an hour later.

L has had over 15 ear apps this year. On the 20th we have to have him knocked out again for an ABR/APR. That will tell us if he needs hearing aids, of just has some serious selective hearing. He ends up having a double infection about every 6 weeks, even with his tubes in.

You can do it with 2. It takes some doing and planning, or in my case lots of Ipad movies. E is a wonderful baby, and its still difficult to handle just the regular checkups. I'm planning to see if I can leave one at daycare and take the other one. More gas, but mom only has to carry and handle one at a time.

Any thoughts about this cycle? I'm at 9dpo and I just feel out already. Cervix is low, and i'm having some serious cramping tonight. Hoping AF holds off for a few more days so I can get an idea of what my normal LP length is.

Any questions? So DD2 is not really talking. She will only say "dada" and "mama" rarely, and doesn't associate them just yet with the correct person. At her 15 month well baby the ped asked about her verbal skills and I told her what i'm telling y'all now, and I said I was concerned. DD2 is 17 mos on the 19th. So in two months, she hasn't learned one new word. The peds said if she wasn't saying at least three words by 17 months, to let her know and we'd schedule an audiology appt, and possibly a speech therapist consult. I'm trying not to worry, but i'm worried. I know she can hear us, as she can follow directions, and will respond to her name. We also talk/read to her all the freaking time, so I don't think it's that...and she hasn't had one ear infection ever. I'm just at a loss of what to do. Anyone have a similar story? Outcome?

GTKY: In light of Friday's drama in June '18, Did you have any drama filled threads or topics on previous BMBs?

Not really...Aug 10' was tame for the most part by the time I joined in, and May 16' was also pretty tame. I do remember the chicken nugget thing, but honestly with DH being deployed the whole pregnancy, and me always being sick, I didn't focus too much on the drama if it was there

lalala2004 · October 2017

@josie12367 DS doesn't have many words either and I am a little concerned. If by 18 months he doesn't have more I'm going to contact ECI myself even if the pediatrician isn't concerned. He has mayyyybe 5 meaningful words, and that's only if you count signs as well. I know they are supposed to have a language explosion at 18 months, so I try not to worry too much, but he just isn't saying much. He makes a lot of noise, just very little with clear meaning. They said that 10 words by 18 months is the bare minimum, so even if the pediactrician says "wait and see" I think it's better to get an evaluation yourself. I've heard speech pathologists complain that too many pediatricians say "wait and see" until a kid is 3 and is seriously behind. By then early intervention could have been vital. Better safe than sorry!

zoepac · October 2017

@princesslockness Thanks for that! I think sometimes I feel like I am barely keeping up with what we have going on but I have to remind myself that part of it was just figuring out his issues and therapies. We now have a decent schedule and he should start preschool at 2yrs 9mons (the age here where it is free) which gives us more freedom. We have a hearing test in our future as well! In general does your child do ok with them?

@josie12367 I would recommend calling early intervention for an assessment. In my experience if your momma gut says something is wrong then it is worth checking out. We were referred to EI last year when L was 8 months for other issues. While they were doing their assessment the speech therapist realized that he had no babble and did not make noises that were consistent with speech. Overall he was globally delayed but marked as "severely" speech delayed. We started services and just had his one year recheck. He now has over 30 words (hard fought every one of them) and while it has been long year it was great to have people in our corner could help us with anything. For our son it was finding the right approach- there are multiple ways to encourage language and for L it was touch cues. We started them in July and he has gained 20 words since then!
** edited to add*** Also, at his 1 year recheck he officially didn't qualify for EI in speech! I joked they couldn't leave us so they kept us on under his prematurity

Any thoughts about this cycle? Feeling hopeful. Our timing seems good so far and I added some things to the mix (preseed, Green Tea, RRL tea and gave up coffee). Wish I'd done better with exercise, but I at least did better with that than previous cycles.

Any questions? Does anyone know how to find more hours in the day and more energy to go with it? LOL Feeling overwhelmed with one toddler - hard to imagine how we'll (hopefully) manage everything with two. I just keep telling MH it will be hard, but it will be worth it and we'll just have to figure it out!

Mylitta · October 2017

@josie12367 My cousin's DS had delays. I think he was about 18m or so and wasn't babbling. He was tested and no hearing or cognitive issues, then referred to a speech therapist. By 2 he had 3 words (momma, daddy, and Batman). He's now 3.5 and graduated slightly ahead developmentally at 3. He's still a bit hard to understand, but I think its that I'm not alloons him that much to know his way of saying things...
So essentially if you're worried it doesn't hurt to get it checked. It child help a great deal. And they loved the therapist they got!

princesslockness · October 2017

@zoepac He does ok. His ears have been looked at every time we go to any doctor, so he is used to it. This test coming up; they will put him to sleep, put some sort of special stickers around his head, then use a huge set of headphones to send frequencies around to the stickers. Somehow that is supposed to tell them what is working or not working. So then he will get an actual plan of 'this is what we do, and this is what is wrong.'

I am going to try and not symptom spot and considered deleting these apps. I just feel alone in the journey and that I can't talk to anyone. Why is fertility & ttc such a private thing?

Any questions? Any tips for someone over 35?

josie12367 · October 2017

I just wanted to say thank you @lalala2004 @zoepac @Mylitta

It really helped to hear what y'all had to share. DD2 now has a consult in with the doctor, and we should have a game plan here in a few days of next steps. I think I just kept convincing myself I was making a big deal out of nothing, but y'all were right, I should trust my momma's instinct. Thanks again!

offtoneverland · October 2017

@jnmiller324 You definitely are not alone in this. I've found so much support in this community, but sometimes it helps to take a little break or step back to try not to think about TTC for a little while. *TW-loss/pregnancy* I also had a CP in early August on our 2nd month TTC. In 2013, we conceived our daughter in the first cycle trying, so I thought for sure it would go quickly this time around, but no such luck. *end TW* I'm now on my 5th cycle trying and we've had really great timing every single month. There's only a 20% chance of getting pregnant each cycle, even with perfect timing. So I'm sorry to say that you just have to try to be patient. I know (and we all know) how insanely difficult it is, but there's really nothing you can do, besides the normal stuff (sex, BBT, OPKs, etc). Since you're over 35, you should be able to see a doctor after 6 months trying (I think that's the standard rule).
I'm sorry you're feeling down. Please try to relax and do something tonight that you enjoy to get your mind off TTC. 20% is really not a huge percentage, so you just have to wait and try your best each cycle. ((hugs))

I'll be back later for more tags and to add my own info!

lalala2004 · October 2017

@jnmiller324 I'm so sorry for your loss. I think TFAS can be a mindf&$@ because even though you know you can't compare it to TTC your first, it's really impossible not to. I hope you have your rainbow baby soon.

Any thoughts about this cycle? I feel pretty ok about it. I've let some feelings go and feel comfortable with any outcome though obviously prefer one over the other. I had been worried about having a luteal phase defect or something wrong with me but it looks like my cycle is evening out.
Any questions?

GTKY: In light of Friday's drama in June '18, Did you have any drama filled threads or topics on previous BMBs? I know there was some when I was part of the June 15 board but I don't think it was crazy, just the usual.

I did just catch up on the intro drama on June 18. Were there other drama threads that are worth going back and checking out, lol?

offtoneverland · October 2017

@shortstack930 GL with the Femara! Really hope it helps you quickly. FX for you!
@spottedginger Those sound like some exciting threads! I'm going to have to lurk through them later...
@Mylitta I'm glad to hear you've been able to calm down a little bit and feel better about this cycle. It's so hard to try and let go and take it as it comes. DH just can't understand why TTC is so time-consuming and gets me worked up!
@josie12367 Sounds like you got some great advice about your DD's possible speech delay. I'm glad you were able to make an appointment. Sounds like a good plan.
@lalala2004 Do you have a plan for when you'll start night weaning? I'm glad you're able to enjoy the night feedings while you can. Lots of women I know said night time feeding was the best because of the bonding. I thought BFing was truly terrible, so obviously I'm missing something.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Our timing wasn't as good as it was in previous months, so we'll see. Taking it one day at a time and planning to go on a fun weekend trip so I can take my mind off the TWW.

Any questions? Do any of you do any volunteer events with your kids? I've been feeling lately like I need to try and do some things to focus on other people, but it's so hard with a toddler.

We do volunteer at our church, but it's twice a month for like 30 minutes, so it'd be nice to find something else we could do together.

GTKY: This is my first time on the Bump. But holey moley there are so many people on the BMBs. I don't even know how I'll keep up with it whenever I move over there. I can't believe how quickly June filled up! I did have a lot of fun watching the drama unfold in their UO thread and still enjoy lurking some of the interesting people over there.

JLS12JSP · October 2017

@jnmiller324 that definitely sounds frustrating and I totally hear you. We also had a super quick/easy pregnancy at first and even though I'm only on month 1 of TTC, I have a gut feeling that we are going to struggle. I'm also a planner and slight control freak so that doesn't help at all!

But then again, im actually not on my phone very much to keep up with everything but I feel like im losing my mind this time lol

offtoneverland · October 2017

@JLS12JSP Welcome!

I'm a control freak too, so this TTC thing has been a struggle. I never thought of myself as a control freak until we had DD, then it all came out! I understand what you mean about feeling guilty. I wonder how I can ever love another human being as much as I love DD (and my husband of course), so it's hard to imagine making more room for another person. Do you have any siblings? I'm really close to my sister and really want DD to have a sibling, so that's one of the main reasons we're TTC again. Just about 6 months ago I thought we were done and didn't want anymore, but then it clicked and suddenly I needed to have another!

mrsinterweb · October 2017

@jnmiller324 I am over 35 and TTC. I don't think there's anything special to consider in terms of what you can do. For me, in addition to trying to have good timing with tracking and OPKs, I started drinking Green Tea and Red Raspberry Leaf tea (gave up coffee which was a big deal for me) trying to exercise more, and also using Preseed lube. *TW* I had a CP in July on our first month trying for a second *end TW* so I understand some of the feeling of hopelessness, but I try to remind myself of the 20% statistic and that it will happen when it happens. It also helps me to try to focus on new healthy habits after every BFN so that I feel like I'm making progress. I'll be speed-dialing my Dr. at the 6 month mark though if it hasn't happened for us by then, because for AMA they'll see you then rather than waiting a year for those that are younger. Hang in there! This community is great for talking about all the stuff that is usually kept under wraps.

Mmyles87 · October 2017

@offtoneverland That sounds like a great idea! Its always nice to find ways to get your mind off TTC. Have you guys gone to any pumpkin patches yet this year?
@JLS12JSP I am a control freak also and sometimes find it hart to just relax and know that I am doing everything I can. I try really hard to go day by day and be in the moment with my DD but some days its easier than others. Do you have siblings?

It sounds like I need to back and lurk some of the boards. This is my first time on TB so no good stories from me.

lalala2004 · October 2017

@offtoneverland I've never enjoyed night feedings and DS has never slept well. I have only kept going this long because it's an easy way to get him back to sleep and therefore the path of least resistance AKA lazy parenting

On the whole I've enjoyed breastfeeding and have been happy to go this long, and I will continue until age 2 (and longer if I manage to get KU while still nursing) but he doesn't need the night feedings anymore and in the MOTN he is mostly dry nursing and I'm over it. It's just a matter of setting his room up with a floor bed and making sure it's totally safe in case he ends up wandering alone at night in there. Then DH will take over. I will cut off nursing between 9pm and 4am to start, and we'll go from there.

@JLS12JSP I think everyone feels that way when TTC#2, but ultimately I try to focus on the fact that he will eventually have a playmate, and as my son is already very social and extroverted (with two introvert parents... how did this happen?) and I know he will eventually appreciate it.

@princesslockness hey! Nice to (internet) see a D16 face! I did not migrate to the facebook page but when I felt like wandering back and no one had posted in awhile I figured that is what had happened! I hope everyone is great. I haven't been around for long and dunno if I've seen your update. Going for another?

therealbitts · October 2017

***lurker***

@josie12367 I had the same worries with my first son. He would say a couple of words here and there, but not at the level all the experts recommended. We even started keeping a list on our fridge of the words he could say so we could tally them up before our pedi appts. But, pretty much the minute he turned 2, the words started flowing with ease. Now he's an extremely talkative 4 yr old. It just took a bit longer for him to get there. Good luck!

josie12367 · October 2017

@therealbitts I hope that's the case with us. But she literally only says, "Dada" and rarely "momma." That's it. Doesn't even attempt to say other words, and she really doesn't babble word sounds....She grunts, and makes clicking noises with her tongue mostly. The doctor called me back today and put in referrals for us. She wanted to take s proactive approach just in case. I truly hope I'm just being a worry wart and she only needs more time. Thank you for a positive story....I really needed some reassurances after today ❤

jnmiller324 · October 2017

@josie12367 I'm a school psychologist by background and worked in early childhood for awhile. You can always request an EI evaluation. Eligibility will depend on the percentage of delay. My daughter was also a little behind with language (I can't remember exact ages) and I panicked. My ped also wasn't super concened. I remember her losing words between 13-15 months and then having an explosion around 19 months. Now she won't stop talking

jnmiller324 · October 2017

Ugh I am so mad I just did a bunch of tags and only one popped through. So, to save myself time, here is the short version:

@offtoneverland, @lalala2004, @JLS12JSP, and @mrsinterweb thanks for your responses & sorry for your losses. I am totally type A and a control freak and this process is excruciating.

@mrsinterweb what does the raspberry tea do? I switched to decaf myself (except for today!). I also did grapefruit juice last cycle with I think helped move up my O day by a week.

Any thoughts about this cycle? I'm hoping this cycle works and gives us a healthy baby! I go back and forth about calling the RE vs. trying on our own. I just don't want to have to pay for all of the appointments if we don't have to. I have a lot of anxiety about trying on our own since all of our healthy children were conceived with Femara but Macy was conceived on our own with only Metformin. I have a (potentially irrational) fear that my eggs (due to PCOS) are poor quality without Femara and that could have contributed to her genetic disorder. So TTC on our own brings up a lot of anxiety. But I'm trying to push past that since it could have just been a coincidence.

GTKY: In light of Friday's drama in June '18, Did you have any drama filled threads or topics on previous BMBs? My last BMB was September 2016. I'm sure we had some drama filled threads in the beginning but I can't think of any at the moment. We had a great group so I don't remember having drama very often.

@zoepac I also had an emergency c-section; my son was 34 weeks. We had a three-week NICU stay and a year of early intervention, and the winter always seems to bring more frequent ped trips. I was apprehensive about having another and going through all of that again but I keep trying to remind myself that each pregnancy is different and even though life will be way more hectic, we always manage to make it work!

@josie12367 I know a lot of people that went through Early Intervention for speech services and have had a lot of success. We used them for physical therapy for my son and they were wonderful. It’s so nerve-wracking, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Any questions? Has anyone had any issues with getting their toddlers to poop on a regular basis? My sons seems to go well for a few days, then he’s constipated and it’s a constant struggle to get his bowels regular. And for some reason he doesn’t want to sit and try to poop on the potty anymore?

GTKY: In light of Friday's drama in June '18, Did you have any drama filled threads or topics on previous BMBs? I need to go check out what happened over there! I don’t think mine had any major drama that I can recall, but I think I remember a couple crazies that kept trying to stir the pot.

@SmashJam They migrated around February. I was there for part, but with PPD i just couldn't play nice, so removed myself.
We are going for #3.

@offtoneverland @Mmyles87 @lalala2004 thanks ladies! I have an older brother who is 4 years older than me and we are not super close but he gave me some adorable nieces and nephews

buttttt that's always why I'm wanting another one quick with DS being almost 2. Seriously who decided this whole you only ovulate once a month thing and there's only a 20% chance!? So not nice.

@JLS12JSP aww, I can’t wait until one of my siblings has a baby. I love seeing how my dd lights up when when she sees one of them. Growing up all my aunts and uncles lived so far away so I never had that experience but am so glad she does. Haha I agree with the timing thing. I am always amazed when I see a women who has 2 under 2. Like how did they do that?!

Yeah, and here I was all diligent about using condoms and I was one of the "lucky" people who can apparently use BFing for BC. I'm glad to not have 2u2, though. People do it, and survive, but that's gotta be some next level tired.

@mrs_drc_rn we had been on the struggle bus with constipation for so long, and then I gave DS a few Sunrise Bars from Costco my mom didn't want. Holy poop.... so if anyone decides to do that, maybe only give them half a bar...once. Now we're up changing poopy diapers in to MOTN like we haven't since he was a newborn. What is a good night's sleep?
