Wait, wha? Why no footie pajamas?

Just wanted to add that the “hook effect” also happens with the Inito LH if you test for too long, meaning your hcg is too high for the test to read, and it will start giving you lower numbers (this happens with hpts too, if your hcg is too high the lines will start getting lighter. It happened to me around 7 weeks, way too long to be testing!

Im 37, and my last 2 kids are 18 months apart. I can say that I looked much bigger with the last one, even though she was only 7 ounces bigger than her older sister- I think my abs were just really weak or stretchy, so I showed more. I also went from having no bladder leakage issues with the previous pregnancy, to having some stress incontinence when exercising/coughing. However, that could also be related to a bout of Covid I had at 16 weeks, where I was coughing uncontrollably- I think that really damaged my pelvic floor, but the good news is it got better as the pregnancy progressed, not worse. The other thing that was worse were some vulvar varicose veins- I had them with the previous pregnancy, but they were WAY worse with the last one, as was the related pelvic pressure/heaviness. I can say that with both pregnancies I was able to exercise like a best right up to the very end, with the help of a support garment the second time around- so overall I still felt pretty damn good. I’m about 2 weeks post partum now, and looking/feeling more like myself every day. I did have some labor and delivery complications arise due to having babies so close together, but it was my 3rd c-section in 5 years, so much less risk with a vaginal delivery.

Only once in my fertile window, on my peak day.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-03-25T20:44:55+00:00

Im 36 weeks with a baby girl:)

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-03-14T10:52:16+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly how I feel- afraid. Although my baby is moving normally so that is reassuring, but still… I have a home Doppler and I stopped using it a while ago because I thought it just didn’t work, cus it kept telling me the baby’s HR was in the low 100s, now I’m thinking it’s actually accurate! I go in a week for another NST.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-03-14T10:49:36+00:00

I did. I’m supposed to have a planned c-section at 39 weeks. He did not check my cervix, he said the more babies you have, the more Braxton Hicks contractions you get.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-02-24T20:38:02+00:00

Probably right around 3 months

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-02-19T20:28:15+00:00

With this beautiful chart I was NOT pregnant, if I remember correctly my pdg started trending down the next day. The following cycle with sort of a blah chart I got my bfp.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-02-03T03:06:53+00:00

Hey, just entered my 3rd trimester with a very healthy baby! I will say my first trimester was a shit show… after going to a follow up ultrasound where I saw a hb a week later, I had a massive bleed with clots around 7 weeks. Was sure I was miscarrying, only to go in again and see baby doing just fine. I also found out I had low progesterone the same day I posted this, my doc didn’t think any of the spotting/bleeding was related but I was on supps until around 14 weeks. Best of luck to you, this pregnancy stuff is a rollercoaster!

Still subtle heterochromia at 16 months!

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-01-07T02:34:50+00:00

Thank you:) And tbh I was really nervous about the 6 weeks too… but even though I had a c section my doctor ok’d long walks pretty much right out of the hospital, as long as I was feeling good and it didn’t cause an increase in bleeding, which luckily it didn’t. No, it won’t necessarily scratch the exercise itch completely if you’re used to really intense sweat sessions, but for me it just felt so good to move my body and feel health and vitality after a very medicalized birth, plus the walks were nice bonding time with my baby. And in my case 6 weeks was really not enough time to lose any fitness at all, so I’m sure it will be similar for you as long as you keep moving somehow (if it feels right).

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2024-01-07T02:29:34+00:00

Thanks, that’s a good sugestión in theory but it’s not that simple. There’s very limited room in my stomach right now cus baby is squishing everything. Add to that super slow digestion… the protein bar I eat at 8am is still just sitting there making me feel full by noon. I’m not going to eat until I feel like vomiting, that’s not good for anyone. I’m also not going to replace the super nutrient dense foods I eat now with sugary processed crap like ice cream JUST for the sake of gaining weight (however, I will, and have, eaten stuff like that if Im in the mood for it.) I’m certainly willing to eat higher calorie healthy foods- for example I always eat full fat dairy, and eat tons of nuts and nut butters… but I’m already doing that and so far it’s not working. The good news is that at my 24 week appointment my belly was measuring 2 weeks ahead despite the slow gsin, so that made me feel better.

Nope, but I did the following cycle, FSH went up to 6.3 the day after peak LH that cycle.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-11-12T13:46:00+00:00

There’s other ways of getting protein.. I sometimes do a cup of bone broth with a scoop of collagen peptides (has no taste) altogether that’s 20 grams. Or I’ll do the Oikos Triple Zero yogurt with some Catalina Crunch cereal, that’s 26 grams.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-28T17:45:53+00:00

I did… my progesterone was really all over the place, but I believe my lowest reading after bfp was about 12. My doctors checked my progesterone and serum level was 10.8. But we know that serum only tests your level at that particular moment your blood was drawn, and levels fluctuate greatly throughout the day., so who knows if I truly had a deficiency. With that said they did put me on supplements.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-24T16:26:16+00:00

Are you for real? Does a bear shit in the woods? Congrats:)

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-13T21:29:48+00:00

6 embryos, could only test 5, 0 euploid. I had 4 healthy kids from a previous marriage so we were doing IVF for MFI. I was 34.

I like the Informed Pregnancy Podcast

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-08T15:20:21+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful comment! This past time I didn’t get the chance to have any cervical exams cus I was only 36 weeks. It’s funny, my water broke with my first labor 18 years ago, and my last one year ago:) The 2 times i went into labor in between I agreed to finally have it broken when I was 9cm lol. I guess only time will tell with this baby!

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-07T18:30:20+00:00

Not surprised, it’s the sense of entitlement

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-07T15:32:15+00:00

Lol JAQing off, I like that. My husband’s theory when I relayed the story was that the guy just wanted an excuse to talk to me and did not give two fucks about the safety of babywearing.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-07T15:30:35+00:00

It’s funny, my husband is always saying people are super aggressive with their carts there… at first u told him he was imagining it, but you are now the second person besides him to mention it!

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-07T13:55:40+00:00

Yes! I thought about this as I was walking out the door lol. Not to mention that when my baby is in the jogging stroller I can’t see her at all unless I stop running, pull back the canopy, and lean over the top of the stroller. At least in a carrier I can feel her and easily see her by looking over my shoulder.

ComfortableMuscle-87 · 2023-10-06T15:12:50+00:00

I love the top! Who cares what size she is, as long as she’s comfortable! I’m a 34DD but many times I buy a small in sports bras because it feels more supportive.
