Due in April/May/June 2019

Hey everyone. I'm not ready to join yet because I just got my bfp last week and I'm quite afraid of things not working out as planned. I can't consider myself pregnant until I see good numbers and a heartbeat. My doctor won't even see me until several weeks from now. I may go to my family practitioner, this week, to get a blood test to at least confirm that this is anything.

I stopped my diet and fiber and I'm extra careful about my folic acid. Exercise isnt continuing for now because my ovary is sore and swollen, a cyst I presume. It's a normal in my life. What I would love to hear from you guys, is how you went from diets to regular eating. My stomach is shot. I'm in so much pain. I was pretty strict for several months and i don't know how to get back to things. And the worst part of everything is i have no one to talk to. Majority of the people i know have strong feelings against me having more kids. Not their business, but they don't keep quiet about it. And it's so early, i can't tell people because i don't tell before i know we are talking about something real. Untelling people is the worst. Been there. Kinda lonely and terrible stomach pain.... from food.

Mom25boys... sending you all my sticky pink dust and I really hope this is it for you...
People really are nosy sometimes. Its your life and you deserve to make your own decisions.
Every child is a blessing and some people are just not that fond of the whole baby process like others

@MrsEnglish - thanks for telling me your experience with spotting, its so scary when it happens and it catches you off guard. But your experience gives me a bit of hope. I have my Dr's appoint tomorrow so I will get him to check things over.

@Mom25boys - Thanks for posting, its totally fine if you just wait til your ready and confident before you join, we'll be here :) but you are very welcome to chat with us ladies and ask any questions you like. As far as the diet goes, I didnt do a very strict sway, so it was very easy for me to go back to my normal way of eating, especially when the hormones kicked in and I was extra hungry! So I suppose my experience isnt very helpful to you lol sorry xo Well you are sooo very welcome here to chat and vent and ask whatever questions you like, we are all here for each other sharing the same experience. Consider this your safe space :)

Thank you. It's scary because I have 5 boys. And girl or not, I want a healthy baby. Obviously I would be so incredibly happy, but I know that my chances so far have been the same. I did crazy sways at one time with overdosing on aspartame and calcium and cranberry. Those two ended in MC. Stopped swaying and had 2 healthy pregnancies.

So although not a dangerous sway, I'm scared. And people say the stupidest things every time they see me. Even strangers. Like will you try for a girl? Did you try for a girl? Wow you have a baseball team. Are you upset you don't have girls? Dont worry, boys are SO much easier. Dont you have your hands full already. UGH.

I don't know why people think they can just say whatever. I love my boys. Yes, I would absolutely adore a little girl, but we don't always get what we wish for. If I see another penis flopping around on the US, I will be devastated, but not surprised. And I will accept it and do my best to pull myself together and love my 6th. If I didn't think I could get over GD, I wouldn't have tried again. But I will need time to cry. But that baby will never know.

I'm starting to get a little more excited, as the dollar test came back + and I got a smiley on my opk. AF is due Thursday so I'm going to still be hopeful but cautious.

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

First of all: thank you for having more kids, I don't know what country you're in, assuming US, and we don't want to have the population problem that countries like Japan and some of Europe have, where their birth rate is too low. US is borderline hovering around the replacement rate, and it's getting more in style to choose to be childfree, so IMO you are doing all of us a service.

2nd of all: how incredibly rude to tell someone they shouldn't have more kids!! I'm angry on your behalf and sorry you have to deal with those ding-dongs.

3rd of all: I did not really succeed at dieting in the first place, so it was no issue for me to stop. Your description really worries me though that it hurts you. I wish you would see a clinical nutritionist. Google "refeeding syndrome". If you can't afford to or can't get an appointment soon, here's what I recommend: make slow gradual improvements on what you were eating. If for three months you ate 1200 calories of white bread and jelly beans, then do a few days of eating 1300 calories with of white bread and jelly beans with one slice of wheat bread. Then add half an apple. Then add one spoonful of peanut butter... Slowly, slowly work your way up to a healthy diet. Even if you have to lose weight for a few weeks, it should be okay (not ideal but okay).

Best wishes to you!

Thanks for that :) I'm in the US. I didn't know we were having problems here too. I just figure I can do it, I'm a good mom, why not. And these ppl can all mind their own business. I already asked my husband if he can be with me when I tell people. Because i cant handle their expressions and comments. I thought I could but every time it got worse and worse.

I wasn't doing the high sugar and that kind of diet. But I was eating very basic food. More pcos diet with occasional white bread. I just spoke with the doctor to see if I can get in. I think it's a mix of diet to no diet, hormone changes, meal time chsnges, and pre AF cramps. I heard of constipation being normal in the early days of pregnancy, but not diarrhea.

Thanks again

yea its so hard to deal with people's opinions about your family, its surprising how openly critical they think they can be :( Even after having 2 boys I got all those comments and you already are vulnerable in that area, and they just have no clue what it feels like. It sounds like you have a very realistic but productive way to deal with potentially hearing boy again, I know its so hard, but going into it with the realisation it could be another boy is how every pink swayer should do it, but its sooo hard.

that opk looks nice and strong, goodluck in this coming few weeks, I have everything crossed for you xoxox

I had my Dr appoint this avo and omg.... so damn stressful!!! I explained straight up that I had had a small amount of light pink mucus throughout sunday and monday most times when I went to the loo and he straight away wanted to find bubs heart beat on the doppler.... well it was a repeat of last time!!! I layed there for like 5 minutes while he unsuccessfully looked for the HB, and then he set up the portable US machine again. But this time I couldnt even see the screen :( so I had to wait what felt like an eternity (probably only a minute or so) before he made any comment at all!!! and then he suddenly says "so its moving around in there just fine" *omg DEEEP BREATHE!!!!!!!!* I was honestly expecting him to say he was unable to find a HB, but yea, he still decided to send me to get a proper scan done tomorrow because of the pink discharge anyways... so I feel like an emotional wreck :worry:
I know the Dr saw the baby move on the US but I am so scared about the US tomorrow... I just hate the waiting and the stress of it all... I wish I could feel bub move so I could have my own reassurance :awe:

What is this new thing with them being the US machine away? Ugh. So frustrating. What is wrong with doctors. Why don't they realize how stressful all of this is?

Hopefully everything is just fine. I think I want to buy a home doppler this time around. In tired of waiting for doctors when I'm nervous.

congrats on your BFP!
If I can add my :twocents: I don't have experience from eating LE myself because I was swaying blue, but I worked with people with eating disorders at times. Maybe that's a similar state your body and stomach might be in now? Do't blame me if I'm completely wrong and ignore following ;) So what I remember helped them was eating soups and yoghurt for the beginning. Especially creamy vegetable (carrot, squash,...you can use every veg) soups are nutrient rich but easy on stomaches that are not used to eating. - And also kids eat it because they can't see the veggies haha. And drink A LOT (water, tea,..). Try to get a small and healthy breakfast in. Snack on all kinds of fruits whenever you want/can. Work your way to normal size meals (3-5 per day) over few weeks. That depends, I think you don't have to "learn" eating like people with eating disorders where this process would take 10 or more weeks. - only a few suggestions...

I think atomic can give you better directions and lead you through this. I can imagine she has helped a lot of women after a pink sway.

Try not to let comments get to you too much. I get a lot of "looks" with my 3 girls and my husband even got condolences expressed... :mad: it's really annoying and hurts, but we really should not worry about some dumb and careless people.

Ok, last but not least I'm sending heaps of pink dust your way! hoping this is your baby girl!
