TTGP Check-in

NYTino24 · February 2020

This check in is for the ladies who actively participated in the Trying to Get Pregnant board.

How’s it going?

jennifer_louise · February 2020

Hiiiii!!! 😍 😍

Missing our TTGP friends a lot, I feel like they've had to deal with a lot of nonsense this week!

@NYTino24 I've been thinking about you a lot! How are your symptoms with three in there? Worse than with your DS?

I'm feeling mostly okay, but I've been really emotional this week and taking it out in MH. Still super anxious about this pregnancy and I'm having a hard time being excited because it doesn't feel real yet. Having some nausea/dry heaves too and major food aversions, which makes it hard to feed myself even though I'm ravenously hungry!

NYTino24 · February 2020

@jennifer_louise Believe it or not, I feel great. I’ve been pregnant 5 times and the three losses are the ones where I felt crummy or nothing. Right now my bloat is gone, I’m “regular,” I’m not getting nauseous, my sense of smell isn’t too crazy, and I’m a normal amount of pregnancy exhausted. How about you?

jennifer_louise · February 2020

I'm so glad you feel great @NYTino24! I hope that keeps up, at least for a while. This is my first time pregnant with a LO, it definitely makes coping a little bit more difficult. Especially because DD JUST dropped her nap and all I want to do on the weekends is nap with her... But oh well. It hasn't been terrible yet, I am still just 100% thankful to be here, I really had lost hope that I would ever be pregnant again.

I guess there's not many TTGPers around here, maybe we should combine forces with October once the great exodus happens??

notagoodpatient · February 2020

I would love to join in, but I was only active about 2.5 months so I didn’t want to intrude....

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@notagoodpatient feel free to jump in! We're happy to have you. Did you join TTGP in Nov? That's probably about when I left for a holiday bump break so we may not have overlapped at all.

notagoodpatient · February 2020

@jennifer_louise yep! I was a lurker for a while, but started posting regularly after my first loss. I didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but TTGP and TTCAL were so incredibly helpful for me, and I still heavily lurk looking for the October mass exodus!!

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@notagoodpatient yeah, it's impossible to quit TTGP. I lurk heavily too! Those ladies are the best.
How are you doing so far this pregnancy?

ssbl · February 2020

I’m in @notagoodpatient’s boat, active on TTGP shy of three months, October-December. I respect the three-month rule on TTGP and didn’t want to jump in here if the same applied.

@jennifer_louise I’m sorry this is an emotional week for you. Sending good vibes your way.

@NYTino24 Glad you’re feeling well—Love seeing your ultrasounds with the three little beans! I think about you every day in a totally benign internet stranger way.

Still lurking TTGP and rooting for everyone so freaking hard.

notagoodpatient · February 2020

@jennifer_louise I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. I can definitely understand the “not feeling that it’s real yet”. I had stomach cramps yesterday and had convinced myself this was an ectopic pregnancy...even though I’ve had two ultrasounds. I’m hoping you can start getting excited soon!

@NYTino24 I am so excited for your trio, and that you’re not feeling triply sick! FX it stays that way!

@ssbl when you disappeared from TTGP and then I found you on Sept waiting room, I was so excited (and I kept hoping I would join you). Glad we’re all sending good vibes back to the TTGP ladies and their October Hype 😆

AFM, I’m doing ok. I was dealing with the nausea ok with a steady stream of carbs, but I’ve already gained like 6lbs, so that’s not really a sustainable option. The fatigue is really the most killer. I’ve managed to hold it together at work (which is pretty stressful as it’s at least 12 hours days, with most of them on my feet in the OR) but as soon as I get home, I lay down on the couch and can barely get up. Headache, nausea, fatigue... I mentioned all my symptoms to my RE and he was like “well, you wanted this...” which is so true, it’s all worth it, I just wish I could feel better enough to make healthier choices (I had big aspirations about pregnancy workouts, but the best I’ve done since 6 weeks is take the stairs).

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@ssbl join us! Otherwise it would just be me and @NYTino24 talking to each other lol. Oh, and @flinstone-2 of course, if she wants to join in (I could be missing others too?).

@notagoodpatient I get that anxiety. Unfortunately I haven't had an ultrasound yet (not til the 20th) so I have no idea what's going on in there. However, I know that an ultrasound is not going to make ALL the anxiety go away either. As you said, you've already had two and it's still there! I'm pretty sure I've already gained some weight too. I feel like I'm eating every two seconds to keep the nausea at bay. I did really well about doing prenatal exercise youtubes in the beginning so hopefully I can get back into that! I walked to work one day this week and that was the entirety of my weekly exercise 😬

@ssbl how about you? Have you had your first appt yet? How are things?

NYTino24 · February 2020

Yes, join us @sbbl @flinstone-2 @notagoodpatient! Sometimes people see the check in and have no idea what it’s about or they were lurkers who never posted a word. We know you guys!!

tyrion_ · February 2020

***lurking***

OMG @jennifer_louise!!!! Congrats 💗 I’m so excited for you!!!! I hope you have a H&H pregnancy. Omg! This is the best!

jennifer_louise · February 2020

Oh hi @tyrion_! Thanks friend. 💜 And a very belated congrats to you too!! Wishing you all the best.

PS- stop in any time (:

ssbl · February 2020

@jennifer_louise I’m doing okay. I had my first ultrasound two weeks ago and everything looked good. My fatigue has subsided a bit, but the nausea is a little worse. I had two symptom-free days this week, followed by some cramping, so of course I started getting anxious. But I’m just trying to be calm and positive until the next ultrasound in two weeks.

***also lurking***
@tyrion_ kagesstarshroom sends her TTGP love! ❤️

We don't have too many TTGP grads in September either it seems, so mostly it's me, ty, and @ziggymama06 talking to each other when we do a check-in thread. 🤷

flinstone-2 · February 2020

@BusinessWife @NYTino24 @jennifer_louise I will try to make it on more

ssbl · February 2020

Resurrecting this since it slipped to the second page... I figured it wasn't necessary to make a new thread since there are so few of us? But please let me know if a new thread is more appropriate.

How is everyone doing?

@NYTino24 I'm so sorry for your loss and sending all the good vibes to you and DH and the babes

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@ssbl I think it makes sense to just resurrect this thread every now and then! Thanks for getting it started.

@NYTino24 still thinking about you, friend, and praying so hard for the babies! 💜

I'm doing okay. I'm totally over the first trimester but I still have weeks left. I've been constantly dry heaving in the car and (weirdly) outside if it's windy? Idk, pregnancy man.

I also had a hard mom day yesterday. DD got in trouble at preschool and then had a tantrum in the grocery store (giving me a bloody nose in the process). I just wanted to run away and hide from life.

Anyway, enough complaining from me 😉 how's everybody else?

NYTino24 · February 2020

Just mentally exhausted from this roller coaster. I won’t be able to relax until after delivery. I can’t bring myself to go to the PGAL thread because it’s too triggering and TBH, I just want to be at the end of this with a live, healthy baby / babies in my arms.

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@NYTino24 I wish I had something more conforming to say, or a magical way to make the time pass faster, but just know that you have so many internet strangers rooting for you IRL. I hope the day you get to hold the babes in your arms will make this all worth it.

ziggymama06 · February 2020

*Lurking from Aug*
@NYTino24 I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you and your LOs. Sending big hugs

ssbl · February 2020

@jennifer_louise I’m so sorry you had a rough day. Hopeful you get to unwind a little this weekend and the end of the first trimester will go quickly.

@NYTino24 I can only imagine what you’re going through and just echo @jennifer_louise ‘s empathy.

I’m doing okay. 12 weeks today and had the second ultrasound yesterday.
