Hello ladies

Hope u all had a good weekend....me and my dh went to the paralympics last nite it was so inspirational and the place was electric so glad we got tickets.

Well i dont really have any different symptoms...i have noticed slightly tender nips..but could b pms....nausea,windy,bloating,crazy dreams,and tierdness but tbh i feel like this a lot with my job also so gonna chill.
Oh and like u fruitful i have noticed being abit grumpy with the dh but like u its probably the start of pms...who knows...time will tell.

When r u all testing??....i dont have any tests in the house so i mite keep it that way...ive never needed to test as the witch always gets me....so ive never know if i have ever had a chemical etc...maybe its a good thing...so i think i mite keep it that way.

Hi Trolley_Dolly, suppose i'm testing on the 10th but i'm considering of delaying it a bit and maybe test on the 12th. Hubby suggested the 15th, not sure if i can wait that long.....

Hi girls! Just checking in The PMS-y symptoms seemed to have eased off a bit, which is good. I have an appointment at the doctor's tomorrow - I'll let you know how that goes!

Hi 1st Try! Yes, 6 months in is probably too early, but I've started spotting before my period the last few months and, as this never happened before, I want to check whether I should be worried about the change. I'm basically hoping she'll tell me to go away and keep trying a while longer
Plus I'm living abroad right now and want to take advantage of the fact that I can go and see a gynaecologist directly without having to get referred by a gp - woohoo!!

 

[Fruitful]

Hope everyone's well and surviving the 2ww/af.

Trolley Dolly, Tink, 1st try, any noteworthy symptoms?

Friskyfish, we haven't heard from you for ages - how are you doing? xx

Hi there, girls.

Only symptoms here are a fussy tummy and creamy CM. Soreness in boobs comes and goes. Last night had some twinges in the belly..felt similar to ovulation pain except some lower back pain accompanied it. Not sure if it's significant but FX'd!

My girlfriend last night announced on FB she's 3 mos. preggers with baby #2. I am truly happy for her but when I saw the announcement along with a beautiful ultra sound pic I have to admit I felt a bit punched in the gut. Her and her husband are fantastic parents, they truly deserve it. I hated that I felt a bit jealous. It made me start to wonder if it's going to happen for us and if not then why not? Don't we deserve it too? Finally got my feelings in check before bed but it's amazing what emotions come up, isn't it?

My temp is up a little bit. Nothing amazing, just a small skip, not really a jump.

Fruitful, let us know how the doctor appt. goes.

I know how it feels when every body around you is pregnent. most of my friends are expecting their baby #2 while i'm battling to get just one. i bought them baby shower present for their baby #1, i am really not sure if i will buy this time around.

I went to a gynercologist straight without being reffered by a GP.

Be positive and hope for all the good news.

Hi girls!

Well, I had my appointment with the gynaecologist. She didn't think the spotting was anything to worry about, and thought that since my cycles are regular and I'm getting positive ovulation tests, there's a good chance that I'm ovulating ok. She did an internal ultrasound, and my uterus, lining and ovaries all looked normal for this time in the cycle - no fibroids or cysts.

She recommended that we carry on trying for another six months using ovulation tests to time bd. She also recommended that we abstain from sex for three days before a positive ovulation test, which is a bit bizarre and sounds tricky in terms of timing, but I'm willing to give it a shot for a couple of cycles

Anyway, it all seemed pretty positive and she seemed helpful. She said if I started getting worried before six months were over, she'd be willing to talk about starting some other tests, which is good. So, I'm glad I went!

p.s. All your symptoms sounds really promising!! Fingers crossed, girls!

 

[Fruitful]

Ooh, I didn't know you could do that! Good call. Did you go privately?

Yes, its a private hospital. my medical aid pays 60% of the bill.

Hy everyone! Well, I just got results from some blood tests I had done a while back, and I'm feeling a bit down. My iron stores are quite low and I am only just not anaemic, so I've been prescribed some iron tablets. Also, I had my thyroid tested, and my TSH level is outside normal range (higher than normal). As my free T4 (another thyroid hormone) level came back normal, though, my doctor told me the results were ok (he knows I'm TTC). I'm a bit worried, though, as everything I read seems to say that a) elevated TSH levels can make it hard to get pregnant, b) elevated TSH levels in pregnancy are associated with greater risks of miscarriage and complications I'm seeing my doctor on Tuesday, so I'll press him for more information. Bleh

 

[Tink80]

Hey, Fruitful. Sorry about the thyroid tests but maybe it's not too enough to affect TTC..and if it is, well at least now you know and you can correct it

So I am pretty down girls...I have been moody the past two days and had very weird tummy issues...almost like heartburn but lower...i felt so weird i had hope that this was my month but i just got a BFN so I'm feeling pretty dejected Sure, it's only 9dpo and I might just be testing too early but I'm losing hope

I have been having stomach pains the last two days so I don't know what is going on. Tiniest amount of brown in CM this morning..implantation or start of AF? I feel like I'm going crazy.
