[xoxo4angel]

Mrs ~ Thank you for sharing. I enjoy reading about your success (Manny's too!)...it gives me hope! Glad your LO was putting on for you and your DH!

Bazz ~ Hope your weekend has been good.

1983 ~ Your pain could also be round ligament pain...your uterus is moving and stretching making room for your I don't know about the unit of measurement used for your progesterone #'s (can vary depending on your location), but am sure they are fine or the Dr would've treated for it. And yay for HCG rising!

Jessica ~ Fx for your scan tomorrow. Hope everything goes well for you!

Manny ~ How was your beach trip?

 

[bazzb]

My weekend was good I was kid sitting my hubby's nieces
Mrs such great news I was telling me hubby how it gives me hope Xx

1983 I think the pain you are feeling Is normal Hun
Jessica gl tomorrow keep us posted

Afm my temp isn't below last months cover line although it had dropped. Is that normal? Maybe they were so off last cycle due to my mc

Angel hope ur weekend was good with hubby X

 

[xoxo4angel]

Hmm...I would guess the mc made your temps all wonky and now they are regulated. Maybe Manny knows?? I would keep temping though to see what happens.

I haven't temped this weekend. I wanted to sleep in with DH and I knew my alarm would wake him, so I turned it off! I started poas, so I def know I haven't ovulated. I'll start tempong again tomorrow.

 

[bazzb]

That's what I was thinking also
Ill definitely keep temping this cycle
Thanks for replying so quickly angel

I can't wait to poas lol I'm jealous of u hehe

 

[A1983]

Bazz the first Af, as much as its a stepping stone forward, is wonky for most ladies and I'd presume temps would mirror that. I waited til after my first Af to start trying but it wasnt til my second that all my hormones were normal again and plus back to my usual regular pattern. That's not to say the egg isn't ready for you this month though! maybe quit temping and use opk's this month, or continue as long as its not consuming your thoughts Iraq stressing you out. I promptly gave up temping! !

My progesterone is basically 3 times higher than the 'average'.. well they like it to be around 40.

I've woken up 2 times tonight, shattered and nervous-the first time I took something to help me sleep which Dr said is ok, but an hour later I'm awake again and anxious. I'm hoping it's about today and if and when I get good news I'll relax, but I'm the anxious type anyway when it comes to pregnancy but I'm struggling with the sleeping xxx

Hi ladies - I'm back after a lovely long weekend... and I'm a little sunburnt but loving the fact that I now have some color to me!

Firstly - Jess good luck for today. Let us know how you get on!
Jess and A1983 - for my last 2 pregnancies I've had ovary pains for the first few weeks. I was convinced I had an ectopic because thats how bad it got. My doctor said that it can be very normal as your ovaries are working very hard producing progesterone. A1983 - your high level of progesterone might explain your pains too. Also, you could have a corpus luteum (sp?) cyst which is uncomfortable but isn't anything to worry about. Either way, the pain will probably be from the side that you ovulated from. I don't think you should worry too much about it. If it gets really severe, maybe pop into an A+E to make sure it isn't an ectopic.

Mrs- so pleased that you are doing well. It really is an amazing thing to see your little blobby turn into a really baby with arms and legs and moving about. When is your next scan?

Angel - when does your DH leave? Is he able to leave behind some "donations" so you can continue IUI in his absence? Although I get the feeling you won't need to do that because hopefully you will be well and properly knocked up before he leaves!

Bazz - don't worry that your temps are slightly lower. It took me a good couple of cycles for my temps to regulate after second mc and they were definitely a lot higher for a while. For both you and Bazz (I'm sure I've said this a few times) I highly recommend the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. It tells you exactly what to do, when to do it and how to do it. It takes so much guess work out of everything and starts are something like 45% of women who have been pregnant before, will fall pregnant first cycle doing SMEP so definitely worth doing. I would follow it as accurately as possible and do OPKS and the same time every day.

And FMS - I stopped my progesterone pills on Thursday as I was supposed to only take them for 12 weeks. My symptoms almost instantly disappears which made me panic all weekend (but was also grateful for some reprieve) and of course I left my doppler at home. But checked for HB first thing after getting back this morning and all was still good with baby. My big NT scan and blood work is tomorrow morning at 7am SA time and Im really excited and nervous all at the same time. The great thing is that 2 very good friends who were away with us this weekend are also pregnant and we're all due within 3 days of each other. Not only that but we all see the same gyne and will have our babies in the same hospital which is going to be totally amazing to have buddies going through the same thing. I will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Chat soon ladies. xx

 

[A1983]

Ahh that's amazing Manny, and so glad you had a nice break away! Tomorrow is going to be just gorgeous xxx

Just got back from drs-I started crying the moment I started to talk so she could quite clearly see I'm an anxious mess atm! She said it was too early for symptoms of an eptopic as they started 4+1 and added that when you are anxious you feel out for any pain and panic. She felt my tummy and said my ovaries are lower down than where I'm having the pain (today it's actually my hip and just inside it) and when she brought on the pain by rolling over in with her hands she said it was bowel. She didn't rule out a bit of stretching going on down there too even at this early stage. She said a scan now would show nothing plus she didn't feel I needed one, and advised me to wait until I'm past 7 weeks for a first one as if I don't see a hb because it's too early I'll panic. I kinda just wanted one about 6 weeks to check there was actually a baby there after my bo in July, so may still do that then another like Mrs at 10 weeks...what do you think? She has banned me from Google (not the first to have said that!) and said if it does get worse to come back but she thinks it's not related to anything tubal x

 

[mannymoo]

A1983 - I'm glad you saw your doctor and hopefully she has put your mind at ease a little. I think it is a great idea to have a 6 - 7 week scan and then a 9 - 10 week scan. Try book in your appointment now so you've got something to look forward to and count down to. Its so totally normal to be anxious at this stage. On the UP-side, you're very unlikely to have a repeat blighted ovum so thats good news!!

 

[A1983]

Scan booked for when I'm 7+5 (made it a different day, time, company and location to last time, fingers crossed I see a different image too). Now to relax...or try ;-) xxx

 

[mannymoo]

3 Weeks from today then. Let the countdown begin!!

 

[bazzb]

Yay 1983 let the countdown begin!!

Manny i cant wait to hear how your scan goes tomorrowX

Jessica Angel & Mrs hope you all had a great weekend and are doing well on this monday morning... (does anyone else HATE mondays) lol Xx

Manny for the SMEP I am not sure if I would ever get a pos OPk if i start on CD 10 I usually do not ovulate until CD 22-30. But I guess I could still try the "method" and keep using OPK's anyways.. I think ill give it a shot, I have nothing too loose

 

[xoxo4angel]

Manny ~. I bet coming off the progesterone was scary. I imagine it is hard to trust your body to do what it is supposed to after being let down by it in the past! How great is it to have a Doppler to give you peace of mind! I'm glad you have such a great bump buddy support system! Cannot wait to hear how your scan goes

SMEP...With DH traveling quite a bit, I am lucky that he is home around O time (officially tracked by my RE). We BD the day before, day of and day after O. I do have a "deposit" on freeze however, I would love to fall pg while he is home. We are praying clearing that tube will help us! I find out tomorrow if any follies are making progress...Fxed!

G'morning (or evening) Bazz, Mrs and 1983. darlings!

 

[bazzb]

Good luck tomorrow at your scan! i hope everything is progressing wonderfully.

My Af is finally just about over! yahoooo i am so excited to start BD lol

 

[xoxo4angel]

Yay Bazz! Progress, I like it. :wave: buh bye to See her in 10 months

 

[bazzb]

I hope so! PMA right...

 

[A1983]

My oh was not with me nearing ovary time-we only bd'd day of positive (and that evening I got my ov pains) and the next morning-so 24 hours apart, I was worried it wasn't enough!!

Go Bazz and Angel xxx

 

[A1983]

*ov time even!! Blimin phone!! And I'm nervous as anything about scan so trying not to think about it! X

 

[A1983]
