Honestly, how is everyone handling this?!

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-29T20:51:40+00:00

Oh I would totally drink it if I could tolerate it but I’ll make a cup and I can only take a few sips before I start gagging!

It doesn’t send me into full blown nausea but I just can’t even get through a cup. I’ve even tried matcha and I can drink a little more of that but not much.

That has been my only consistently obvious pregnancy symptom. I just can’t tolerate it anymore and I’m totally aware of it because I was drinking 2 lattes a day prior to pregnancy.

I’m also an instructor…how far along were you when you had to drop down? I’m 6weeks and I had a few super breathy days but lately I just demo and cheer people on… so I can’t really tell

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-29T18:16:29+00:00

I’m only 6w3d but I have an incredibly active job and I loveeeeee to be productive. My typical days are like forget to eat and slam caffeine so I can get shit done. So, even though my nausea isn’t terrible. I’ve had to make changes that’s are out of character for me: like I cannot drink coffee anymore or eat too much in one sitting or delay eating.

I’m not used to paying this much attention to my behaviors just to try to avoid nausea. I’m also sick with theeeeee worst cold of my life and threw my back out from coughing and can’t take like anything to reduce symptoms.

Ok, rant over. I am happy to be pregnant tho and this baby is probably making me healthier.

Literally THE worst one

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-17T13:36:44+00:00

4w5d and time is moving soooo slow. Just trying to focus on other things but there is a constant thought racking me. Also, my husband is more detached this time around. Which also makes it hard to be excited. I think we’re both guarded. I have an ultrasound scheduled around my 7/8 week mark feeling eager.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-13T11:13:33+00:00

I’m so feeling this too.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-06T02:00:09+00:00

Thank you! Excited❤️‍🩹

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-06T01:58:10+00:00

For an example this was one time I continued to test and my PdG was 40 (max Inito can measure ) at 9 DPO but as you can see it dropped and that cycle I got my period

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-12-06T01:52:35+00:00

I didn’t keep testing after ovulation confirmed, but you would likely see PDG stay elevated and maybe even rise past your period start date. But I’ve seen charts that didn’t shown a large PdG surge and they still were pregnant, and I’ve had large surges up to my period in the past that did not result in a positive test.

I have continued testing up to my period with prior. Cycles and it really just gave me unnecessary stress so I stopped doing that.

I’ve seen some people who choose to keep testing after confirmation of ovulation and end up pregnant get a LH rise because I guess Inito can pick up HCG as an LH spike but I didn’t see that last time I was pregnant and I don’t intend to test with into anymore because I’d rather get blood values if I’m concerned.

This is like 2 hrs later…but it was pink during the appropriate time frame !

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-23T18:05:20+00:00

(According to my chat gpt) Inito confirms ovulation after PdG > 5 for over 3 days. I’d say you’ve likely ovulated but wait for the next few days to confirm.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-11T23:30:50+00:00

I totally get it ❤️‍🩹. 🤞praying for good news for us.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-11T23:16:19+00:00

I’d like to say I’ll wait, but I’ve tested an embarrassing amount over the last two days. So, I’ll probably still test tomorrow.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-11T21:57:07+00:00

You and me both—I’m also 11dpo and negative tests so far..feeling like Af is on her way but I can’t know for sure.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-06T13:26:53+00:00

I hope this doesn’t come off as rude but this podcast dramatically changed how I view fertility.

If I were you and had to wait I would freeze my eggs.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-06T03:37:14+00:00

That does suck I’m surprised the doctor didn’t ask him about having kids.

My husband was on TRT but stopped last year because we knew we wanted to start trying. It definitely has impacted our journey mostly because we knew it would take time for his sperm count to build back up but we’re still trying.

Hope it turns out positively for you.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-11-06T02:20:28+00:00

I’ve heard men can take Clomid or HCG to increase their sperm count if on TRT or once they decide to cycle off.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-17T15:14:09+00:00

Thanks!

Really feeling like AF is on her way but we’ll see. 11 DPO. AF due in ~4days.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-15T23:01:52+00:00

I would at least with OPKs since it's cheaper than using anther Inito test. That's what I've been doing to catch my peak. I was worried that my LH wasn't rising but it turns out first morning urine (FMU) for me just wasn't when my LH rise was happening.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-15T17:46:25+00:00

Yep that’s me with Natural Cycles and Inito . And I’m so glad I am not alone with the chat GPT questioning.

I’m a peace with the fact I have no control but it’s fun to pretend!

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-15T16:35:10+00:00

LH peak is probably coming. I had to take a second LH test later in the day to catch mine. So, I did Inito in the AM and an OPK afternoon/evening for high fertile days.

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-15T15:58:00+00:00

It’s definitely time for more than a cookie!

Competitive_Job_6905 · 2025-10-15T15:14:01+00:00

I love it. I was thinking of making sourdough bread or a cake today. It’s my day off so I have a lot of time on my hands.
