2012 TTC chat

My Dr told me it shouldn't have interrupted my cycle but it did. You should still ovulate and everything DH is watching a movie. I'm being lazy lol

 

[Mmleo]

Hello smiler.how is it going??

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks Sunshine, I think with my mad cycles it's prob a good idea to expect the HSG to muck things up. Haha being lazy is great

Things are still strange today though...usually once I start spotting AF shows up very definitely and quite painfully 12-24 hours later. But today I'm still spotting and (TMI) it's just brown cm. Think will test again tomorrow if nothing else happens today. Is weird, I think something is wrong

 

[Sunshine7125]

Hmm wonder what's going on? I'm the same way I start brown but the next day its heavy and painful.

 

[Smiler82]

It's soooo annoying. Have been doing a bit of reading and I reckon my lower-than-normal temps mean low progesterone, which in turn could explain the lack of my usual heavy AF. Starting to get more AF-type cramps now and just been to the bathroom and the spotting is getting heavier. So maybe am just in for a late, light AF due to low progesterone. Will have to bring this up at my next appointment.

Oh well, it is an excuse to curl up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and a girly film

How is everyone else today? How is your spotting Sunshine?

 

[Mmleo]

hi ladies.u hve painful periods too?sorry smiler.by now u sh'd be sure if it is AF or not.r u sarting ur meds with this cycle or next one?
am ok,i sh'd b having lots of to make sure i catch the last egg bt i've noticed that even last time it put me off sex.normally around this time i;ll be good to go.
and u sunshine?r u in a better mood tday??

 

[Smiler82]

Yeah usually for me the first day is really painful but after that the pain pretty much goes away. I am sure it is AF now - not bleeding anywhere near as much as I normally do but it is red now and painkillers+hot water bottle aren't really helping the cramps I'll probably leave the meds til April/May...I am just so dead set against our kids having their birthday near christmas!! I have a friend whose bday is 24th Dec and she hates it. Another friend's bday is early Jan and every year she tries to organize something some people always back out because they've got no money left after Christmas, and even on occasion her DH hasn't even bought her a present because he spent all his money at Christmas!!

Oh no!! No good that you don't feel like DTD! What causes that I wonder. Keep at it though! Times when I've been waiting to ov and I've just gotten bored of it haha then regretted it when realised we missed it.

Hope everyone's been having a nice weekend x

 

[Sunshine7125]

Hi girls. I'm not cranky today lol but feeling blah I never feel like doing the deed haha.

 

[Smiler82]

Haha is that since you got pg you don't want to dtd?

Sunshine can I ask you about the HSG again - waiting for the docs to call back with an appointment but wondering how bad you felt afterwards? Like if I got a morning appointment would I be ok to go back to work in the afternoon, or is it best to take it easy? I work for myself so usually it wouldn't be a problem but over the next couple of weeks I've got some meetings/jobs in offices etc so hope I don't have to cancel on anyone.

Had a good old cry about it all last night. Was feeling ok over the weekend but when we went to bed I suddenly got really upset. Just so frustrated, was feeling really confident about this cycle

 

[Sunshine7125]

The Dr has me on restrictions so I can't dtd but I really haven't been in the mood at all haha... You would be fine to go back to work. I just cramped a little bit afterwards and spotted. It wasnt too bad. You can also take some ibuprofen before hand if you want to.

 

[Smiler82]

Oh yes of course, I forgot your doc has banned you. Prob a good thing you don't feel like it anyway otherwise would be frustrating

Got a phone call earlier, my HSG is booked for Mon 23rd 10:30 am. Have had to shift a few things around re work but the people I'm working for at the mo are very understanding so will just turn up late.

 

[Sunshine7125]

Yay!!! So glad you got your appt. They say you are fertile the few months following the test

 

[VMAG]

Hey girls! So I finally had my first prenatal appointment and it went well. She didn't tell me what the heart rate was but she said it was very fast, flickering away. She guessed somewhere in the 150s-not sure why she didn't tell me exactly. The baby kinda looks like a baby now-so weird! The doctor also said at this point the chance of miscarriage is 7% and it drops to 3% after 11 weeks. SO here I go again, another 3 week wait. Seems like TTC is only the beginning of the waiting-crazy! I'm glad to see everyone else is doing well. Good luck Smiler-I have a good feeling about you (and Sunshine told me that before I got my bfp so I hope this goes the same way!!!
PS--isn't a raspberry larger than an olive???

 

[Sunshine7125]

Yay!!! So glad to hear that!! I agree lol a raspberry is larger!! Haha.. I'm glad to hear the 11 weeks think that makes me feel better.

 

[Mmleo]

i almost forgot how bad 2ww is.I just cant think of anything bt being pregnant..i cant seem to want to do anything at all...just worrying!

 

[Smiler82]

Depends on the size of the raspberry and if the olive is stuffed or not... ???
Glad it all went well VMAG. I think once you are pg and til your kid is about 50 you will always have something to worry about

Arrgh Mmleo I REALLY feel for you! Do you know which exact day you ov'd? Got everything crossed for you, would be so great if you fell pg this cycle x x

 

[Sunshine7125]

Smiler, how are you?

Mmleo I hope this is it for you!!!!! Fingers crossed!

 

[Mmleo]

VMAG glad to hear that ur baby is doing great..when he/she starts moving/kicking u worry less i think.

[Sunshine7125]
