1st m/c January, 2nd m/c May, still trying for 3rd BFP

[bazzb]

i feel like a cry baby but my lower back is KILLING me... AF is being mean to me and likes to torture and not show her face! grr lol

 

[A1983]

Yes thank you Manny And Bazz I have read a poll where women have often taken another couple of weeks to get af...I know I know, you want af now (or a bfp) but just trying to reassure you that you are not alone. I'd get the doc to check your hcg level too I remember worrying about how long mine would take, but once I got my ov pains I knew it was 2 weeks away, think it took 42 days.. so 6 weeks which isn't far from you hun xxx

Yes 6 days left for me, but I'm just preoccupying myself with things to do plus planning next month bday'ing so I can fit it around mine and oh's work. .gives me something to aim for if&when af arrives.

Congrats Jessica! Can I ask how did you know you were pregnant (well 95% sure?) I won't know til the day I rest positive/am late as pregnancy symptoms are so similar to af for me.. the only difference in intermittent mild cramping with my bfp.. but then if I really focus on that area I can bring on very mild 'cramping' as if somatic of my hopeful thinking!!

 

[bazzb]

thanks 1983.. its been 53 days for me.. Im pretty sure I did O so it should happen soon.. thx for the kind words

 

[LVnMommy]

A1983- how did i know?? well my boobs did all the talking!!!! LOL they full tingling like noones business, and today and are straight up sore, the mild dull cramping, the breast's business happend all 4 pregnancies!!! (I have a 4 year old and 2 year old!) VERY VIDID DREAMS is really what locked me in!! happend with my past two, I dreamed of a positive test, and wham! positive!!

 

[MrsNJR]

Hi everyone! :wave:

Sorry for my absence, I've been lurking, checking out what's going on...!

Bazz sorry to hear abt bfn, as the others have said maybe try to wait a few days and test again? It's such a horrible waiting game isn't it?

Angel, AF showed up well, onwards and upwards. Maybe THIS is ur cycle!

Manny! how are u?? How r u feeling these days, and where r u up to with scans etc?

Hello lvnmummy, BIG congrats on your BFP! Hope u have a smooth ride this time

Well an update on me... As u know we were scanned at 7 weeks and saw our lovely strong heartbeat! Next routine scan isn't till 12 weeks so we've paid £100 for a private scan next Sunday, when I'll be 10 weeks. Worth every penny if it helps to reassure us! Generally feeling ok, tired and a little nauseous at times... Boobs still VERYtender, and if I feel my tummy when I'm stood up I can feel that although there's obviously no bump yet, it is kind of firm inside now, not just squishy! For two nights on the run now I've woken up in the night wide awake for a couple of hours... It's 3.30AM as I write this! And talk about vivid dreams! The other night I dreamed I had won £100,000! Fingers crossed for lucky lottery ticket then!! Lol

Xxxxxxxxxx

 

[bazzb]

Hi mrs ! Glad you are going good, can't wait til your next scan
So exciting!!!

Afm my temp is still up so I don't think af is coming today

How is everyone else??

 

[xoxo4angel]

Bazz ~ lower back pain is the pits! Hope you found a way to ease it up. And your temp still being up is a good thing...means you are not out of the game! Fx!

1983 ~ 5 days to go. Good idea planning BDing ahead...it always makes me feel productive and gives me something to look forward to!

Mrs ~ So glad you are well! In about a week you'll get to see your LO again! The peace of mind is going to offset the cost!

:wave: Manny

 

[A1983]

Exactly Angel Do you find when af arrives you have a moment of feeling really sad coupled with wondering if and when it will happen for you..I do. I find the few days leading up to af I start imagining I could be, then I enter a fantasy land where I imagine those 2 lines and I start calculating when the 12 week scan would be etc...then as soon as af starts I'm crushed Then hope re-enters around time leading up to ov.

As for this month I really think I'm not pregnant as I'm 11dpo and that's when my mild cramping started with my bfp...I've had none. I know it's only my second month of trying but women seem together pregnant so quickly after a mc and I'm getting inpatient!! :-\

 

[A1983]

Ps what are your oh's like on the alcohol front/do you have any views on it? Mine only drinks at the weekend socially but we're having the same bickers over the amount. I'd like him to have ONE maybe two drinks on a Friday and Saturday (and preferably only one night ha ha!) But he see's no wrong is a bottle or2 over the weekend... :-\ hmmmm...I remember the days I never used to be monitoring alcohol intake!

 

[A1983]

Ps Goodluck Mrs, how exciting

 

[bazzb]

My hubby doesn't drink Right now and I actually love it lol
I myself haven't drank since I got preggo in July although I see nothing wrong with having g a few drinks . I'm Just not much of a drinker

How is everyone doing today ??

 

[A1983]

Over analyzing!! That's what I'm doing today arrgghh! Been cramping mildly all day...when I'm distracted its hardly there...then when I think about it there are there pretty strongly...12dpo so 4 more days til af is due (16dpo) so could be af cramps...if it is then I'm worried as they shouldn't be this constant so early? The month I got my bfp I cramped all day on&off from 11dpo...but I'm sure they weren't as strong as this plus not so constant...more like mild for a few hours then nothing for a few hours and so on. This wait til 16dpo is torturous!! Trying to not get my hopes up because when af arrives I get so upset. I won't test til I'm officially late..

How is everyone else??

 

[bazzb]

No af for me still either
I have no idea how long my normal luthal phase is either lol
The joys of being a woman

 

[A1983]

Are you still cramping Bazz? Going to doctors tomorrow?

 

[xoxo4angel]

Exactly Angel Do you find when af arrives you have a moment of feeling really sad coupled with wondering if and when it will happen for you..I do.

I try not to get my hopes up during the tww. I like to be realistic about my chances, but that doesn't mean I don't have that "shucks" moment when AF shows. I too can be quite impatient about ttc, but I hold fast to the thought that there is a LO for me and when the time is right, I'll fall pg. This is my 3rd cycle after my D&C and things finally seem "normal." My 1st 2 cycles were quite irregular, so I take this as a sign my body is ready again

TTC has def been trying on my patience! You'll get there...we all will! 4 days to testing for you! Fx!

 

[xoxo4angel]

1983~ The RE told my DH alcohol doesn't quite have the impact on his like it can my eggys. He drinks on the weekends with his buddies and has had a SA done where his swimmers checked out just fine. It doesn't seem fair they get to do whatever they want and we basically have to revamp our lives just to ttc! Let him enjoy his drinks while he can! As long as it doesn't effect his performance

Cramping can be a good sign...you are in the home stretch now!

Bazz ~ Still no AF and your temps are still up there...I'm puzzled, but in an optimistic way. Let us know if you call the Dr's tomorrow. I wish they would draw your blood to see where you are in your cycle or to check for HCG! Crossing everything I can for you!

I'm on CD3...so far AF has been mild. Tomorrow I'll get the call to set up a HSG (dye to look at tubes). I've heard many women fall pg within 3 months of having it done. I hope I am one of those women!

 

[bazzb]

Angel I hope the procedure works for u!! I have never heard of it before
I've decided to wait until the end of the week test again if no af and then call the doctor
That way they can't say wAit until 9 weeks.

1983-My cramping has been gone since Friday

 

[xoxo4angel]

Thank you Bazz. I'll let you all know in a weeks time how the HSG goes! There are conflicting stories as to whether or not it's painful...I'm hoping it's not painful!

And boy you have some staying power! Come on Friday!! Fx you get the answers you want and if you have to go to the Dr, may they be attentive and act promptly!

 

[bazzb]

Thank you! Ill be happy either way now!
Is it Friday yet lol

 

[mannymoo]

Congrats Jess. Very exciting news RE the BFP. How are you feeling?

Bazz - temps still looking great. I must say, your cycle has me puzzled a bit too but I would suggest doing another test in a couple of days and seeing what happens. I think there is still a great chance that your BFP is just being a little shy.

Angel - glad to hear AF isn't being too rough with you. May I ask why you are going for the lap? Has your Dr recommended it? Here they will only recommend a lap if you have been trying (without any pregnancies) for 18 months so it seems odd that they would send you for one after you've had 2 recent BFPs. Really crossing my fingers that this IS your cycle!

A1983 - yay, nearly testing time. Cramps sound promising. Keep us posted!

MrsNJR - hope you're still doing well.

FMS - MS has slowed down which is great. For the first time in ages I had some energy this weekend. Thank heavens for my doppler otherwise I would probably be freaking out around now but heartbeat is going strong so hoping all is alright. 8 more sleeps until my big scan! Whoop whoop!

Hope its a good week for everyone. I'm off the the beach on Thursday for some R&R. Can't wait! xxx
