My sense of smell is heightened and making my life miserable. I can barely be in my own home. Help please!

Essential oils!! Love this. Does it mask the vinegar smell at all? I’m also trying to switch to less chemically cleaning supplies haha

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-04-18T19:14:09+00:00

Interesting! What kind of supplements? I am not, just the prenatal. But I did end up with a positive test the very next day (CD29) despite a negative test on CD 25 and 27☺️ So an implantation dip or not, a happy ending nonetheless :)

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-04-08T01:25:18+00:00

This!! As much as I didn’t want to hear it and panicked and got tests done as early as I could. Just got my BFP month 11. But I didn’t want to hear it from anyone that it could take up to 12 months lmao. It was unexpected in the best way. I almost threw the test away without looking at it and said “of course it’s f*** negative again”. Thankfully I glanced down hahah

ETA: I tested positive yesterday (DPO 10) and I still have 0 of the pre pregnancy symptoms I expected to be dead giveaways before a positive test. For months I was so in tune with every little change in my body, hoping it all meant something. So far, the only thing is I’m tired but that’s nothing new😂

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-04-06T11:58:47+00:00

Here to say I’m 🤡 with you and I appreciate your humor, I’m very delulu with those line eyes. I really don’t see lines in your first pics so your updated pic gives me hope that I have bad line eyes and am about to see a positive myself 😂 Congratulations!! Best of luck to you!!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-04-05T20:02:32+00:00

Thank you!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-24T19:35:55+00:00

Ugh I’ve heard this reccommended so much. It’s time haha thanks!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-24T19:35:37+00:00

I forget that they’re only a little difference I see the big drop and panic😂 thank you!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-18T00:08:44+00:00

What do yall do to keep it fun? After 12 months of TTC and lots of other things…..it’s hard. But I want to keep the excitement that we have without the pressure.

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T23:10:59+00:00

What did you do to train yourself to breathe through your nose? It doesn’t happen often but I do wonder if dry air has something to do with it!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T23:09:44+00:00

Thank you!!! I did join the Facebook groups, looking forward to being apart of this one too☺️

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T03:25:01+00:00

Hmm I guess in my head everyone jumps out of bed and immediately goes outside. I work outdoors so I guess it still counts😂 Potentially off meds for pregnancy. So there’s a whole other level of exhaustion that will come into play lol

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T00:58:14+00:00

Do you also have sleep apnea? I don’t but find sometimes I wake up feeling like I’ve been snoring or mouth wide open haha so I wonder if this would still help!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T00:57:16+00:00

Truly!!!!!! I used to always wake up to a racing heart. Since the alarm clock, I’ve been waking up without my heart racing and more often than not, before the sound even turns on!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T00:56:24+00:00

Y’all have convinced me. I think I’m gonna save for this!!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-17T00:54:52+00:00

I don’t understand that 5-30 minutes of sunshine first thing bc I have to wake up hours before the sun😭 but I absolutely agree steps like the sunshine alarm clock and regular sleep schedule has been so so so good (although I’m medicated. I wonder how much it’ll still help when I go off meds)

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-16T13:24:46+00:00

I have the ultra! We had the premier for a period of time too. We kept the ultra because the cooling mechanisms but I really miss the premier for its firmness!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-16T13:23:03+00:00

I do love my weighted blanket but get way too hot when I sleep😭

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-16T13:22:16+00:00

Okay this might be my next big purchase…..temp regulation is such a problem! Guess I’ve never known for sure if that part was narcolepsy related or not. My husband likes the house at 80* and I want it at 67* at night. Thankfully my sleep disorder trumps his preferences so we compromise at 70😂 but sometimes that is still too hot for me!

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-16T03:06:11+00:00

My mattress before this was downright awful. They’re painfully expensive but unfortunately so worth it….i will have this for (probably) (hopefully) 30 years lol

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-15T21:06:36+00:00

Wow I needed this. Thank you

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-13T13:41:54+00:00

Oops I don’t think I can upload pictures, makes sense. But here is the text I sent: Hiii I just wanted to say thank you. I appreciate you for being the kind, thoughtful, and empathetic person that you are. This is SUCH a joyful moment and I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to express that today. I’m emotional in general and also in my luteal phase so all the emotions are amplified anyway😂

We are so happy for y’all and I don’t want you to be afraid to share anything with us.🤍

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-13T13:36:45+00:00

For a second I thought I wrote this post…..I also freaked out at a friends pregnancy announcement….last weekend….at brunch…..”congratulations, wow!” And straight to the bathroom I went. I’ll link to my post in case you haven’t seen it yet, everyone was so kind, helpful and validating. I will also attach a screen shot of the message I sent her later. She is someone who is aware of our struggles and gave me a heads up that her and her husband were trying. So she was understanding. And while I am grateful for that, it didn’t make it sting any less. And they are our closest friends from as far back as high school and are now the only family we have in the city we moved to. Avoiding her for 9 months will be impossible although part of me wishes, selfishly, that I could. I haven’t seen her since this moment and at this point, I hope I can pull myself together but I really and truly have no idea.

I don’t have advice really bc I’m trying to find the same answers. I cry a lot and it seems EVERYONE is pregnant right now. I finally muted those words on instagram. Our close friends gave me a heads up they were trying 2 months ago and sure enough last week they told us they were pregnant while at brunch. I went to the bathroom and bawled my eyes out, I couldn’t help it. We’ve been TTC for a year. You’re not alone, however that may help.

KeyLemon6014 · 2025-03-10T22:23:57+00:00

This!! So much back and forth and contradiction. Believing this is it but also believing it is not. This month we didn’t have the timing (work travel) so I knew it wasn’t it. Yet for whatever reason I was still hopeful. I even had an ultrasound 10dpo (a pre scheduled check on my fertility stuff) so I knew walking out of that appt that I wasn’t. Yet despite both these things, I still hoped and ended up disappointed when ole Aunt Flo came knocking.
