I’m waiting for results of my first beta with my first pregnancy (after IVF). I got a positive home test yesterday evening, and a positive this morning – though it was maybe a little lighter, which made me freak out (though I didn’t time when I looked). I cheated and had my blood test done this morning, two days early and 12 days post ovulation.
Any idea what a good result is? I know the important thing is doubling, but based on a paper I just read, it sounds like first beta has significant predictive value. I’m just driving myself crazy googling random questions and completely useless at work today.
I realize I’m being nuts, and think they probably wrote that on my chart when I strongly requested an early beta.
TIA!
I need help finding style inspirations for a new professional wardrobe. I plan on weaning in the next few months and will need to rebuild my closet around my newish body and lifestyle. Most of my work clothes were pretty tightly tailored before falling pregnant and are now not the most flattering option for my post partum belly that I don’t think will ever get back to completely flat. Yes, I can technically get most of it zipped, but it’s not exactly comfortable or appealing.
I actually liked having a limited wardrobe while pregnant and would like to stick with a simplified capsule wardrobe or uniform of sorts. I wear mostly skirts and dresses. I am in a business environment. I wouldn’t call it casual but I only need to wear a suit a few times a month and it can be a ‘fun’ suit
I’d love to find some new style icons to get inspired (although I’m not sure i had ones previously) and have a more cohesive “look.” Ideas? Are there women in their 30s who can pull off Eileen Fisher draping?
Any tips for actually getting your belly back? Even just a little? I have a serious gut and it’s just… unnecessary. I hope. I also definitely have DR and don’t really know what to do about it. Any advice? (I have a doc appointment next week…)
I have a few of these bags in both the snack and sandwich size and they are awesome. The zipper is far preferable to other brands that use velcro which inevitably gets disgusting. I haven’t machine washed them but just handwash and they seem to stay in good shape.
How often are you supposed to have doctor’s appointment when you’re pregnant? I had my first at 8.5 wks, now have my second scheduled for almost 11, and then I understand you’re supposed to come in for an u/s at 12 weeks too. Is every 2 weeks so early on basically normal? I think I’m a little paranoid that something is wrong and the doctor doesn’t want to alarm me but it could also all be in my mind.
Does anyone have resuable food pouches they like? I bought these (link to follow) but they squeeze the food out too easily. My guys just made an absolute mess the first (and only) time they used them (but they do fine with the commercial kind). They really like yogurt but at 13 mo aren’t really up to using spoons yet. I had hoped to use these pouches to feed them plain yogurt and yogurt/fruit smoothies. (They’re totally over being spoon-fed, and I’m long past being over sitting there trying to feed them.)
I just need to post a slightly indulgent rant about Mother’s Day, please bear with me.
I am so so over being expected to coordinate something for Mother’s Day for my mother, my husband’s mother and my grandmother, buying (or nagging my husband until he buys) present, being expextes to come up with meals/menus and sometimes cook too and then spend the day running from place to place dragging around the kids and doing all the things.
I feel like every 2-3 years I break down and tell my husband “all I want on Mother’s Day is to not have to plan anything, cook anything or make any decisions.” And he gets it for a year or two, and then we’re back to me either having to nag, do it, or feel like the worst daughter/DIL in the world for not wanting to do anything. This year my sister is the one asking me for timetables and for menu suggestions, and I’m really afraid I’m going to blow up at her if she texts me one more time about it.
Anyone else feel like you need a post-Mother’s Day day of your own? And then feel guilty and think, “did my mother feel this way? Will it get better when my kids are grown and I can hope they will get it? Or will this day always make me feel more guilty than appreciated?”
It also doesn’t help that I’m the only daughter/DIL on my husband’s side, so I wind up doing Mother’s Day AND Father’s Day planning, in addition to the Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter rigamarole
I know I sound like an ungrateful brat, thanks for letting me whine here so I don’t bite off the head of my sister/husband/MIL/whoever bother me next about this!
Q for peeps re: TTC: Do you really need to wait a full year to get tested to see if anything is up? Perhaps I’ve watched too much TV, but I can’t help think the odds of having a Monica-Chandler situation or a Charlotte-Harry issue (even though that one worked out eventually)are quite high. I’m also watching that Newlyweds show on Bravo and one of the mid-20’s something women was tested before they even started trying and told she has a 0.02% chance or something like that. If that’s the case I’d rather know much earlier than after trying and watching the calendar for a whole year. Anyone else?
