Welcome Missy. Feel free to tell us a bit about yourself!

Hello everyone. Im 30 ttc #2 we are now in the 16th cycle. After this cycle of we haven't conceived il probably be going back on birth control and it's wearing me down quite bad.

I haven't read the previous threads so I'm sorry if it seems like I have asked to join at a bad time? Whatever is happening though Ladders my thoughts are with you x

 

[SadakoS]

Hi Missy, have you been to see anyone about it taking longer than normal to concieve?

Everything crossed here for you Ladders xxx

 

[happycupcake]

Hope you are ok and everything went well, Ladders

 

[JessyG]

Thinking of you ladders, hope everything went well.

 

[curiousowl]

Checking in on you ladders

 

[ladders]

Thank you ladies.
Been for the scan she couldn't see anything on abdominal and said she was sorry there's nothing there. Asked me if I wanted an internal scan, wasn't going to be then decided to. She then found a baby with a heartbeat but only measuring 6 weeks and I should be 7 weeks 3 days. So not sure if going to be ok or not but have some hope at the minute. Have to rest and have my scan at the Epu Friday afternoon. Not sure what to think it's just so small and I know my dates are correct

 

[curiousowl]

Big hugs ladders I'm so sorry you're in limbo but a hb is great news. I have definitely seen cases where the baby caught up. I wish I could tell you that for sure it would all be fine but instead I'll just say that today you're pregnant and you love your baby and to keep thinking about that.

Ladders, Im so sorry about everything you are going through. I hope that all is well and your next scan is a good one!

I had an early bleed with my daughter, bright red with a clot and everything, rushed to my clinic and was reassured that all was well by seeing my baby with a strong heartbeat at about 6 weeks. I will def be praying for you.

I'm at CD1, so hopefully I can start meds this cycle. DH doesnt really enjoy timed intercourse...trying to figure out a way to make that work. Currently waiting for the fertility clinic to call me back with a plan...

Oh ladders I'm so sorry to log on to read all this. I too am cross that they didn't book you till Friday but at least you get another look and won't be in limbo for too long. A heartbeat sounds like good news. I think sometimes you can tell a lot from the medical professionals. Did they seem hopeful?

Welcome missy.

 

[JessyG]

Thats great they found baby with a heartbeat. Hold onto that until friday. I have heard lots of people be a few days week out at this early stage. Have you had any further bleeding or any cramps? I have everything crossed for you.

 

[ricschick]

You poor thing being in such limbo! But very hopeful that they found a heartbeat! I too have heard of lots of women being a few days behind and catching up. Did they tell you the reason for the bleed? Xx

 

[Daisies11]

Sorry to hear what you're going through ladders. Hopefully Friday gets here nice and quickly and you get some answers at your scan. I'll be hoping to hear that all is good, a heartbeat is reassuring, so like others have said, focus on that until Friday. Will you stay off work this week?

Welcome missy.

 

[Sander]

Ladders that is so stressful but I'm SO happy they found a HB!! That's such positive news. Take it easy until Friday, but just remember the LO is ok in there

I actually have been avoiding asking questions because I'm feeling like my questions aren't important with what ladders is going through But Ive been surfing the web all morning and you guys really give the best answers I can find. I took my BBT this morning and was disappointed it was 97.7 (same as yesterday), but I took it literally 2 seconds later and got 98.0 (then I took a bunch more times in a row and got a bunch of different temps). I know I shouldn't take it more than once but I couldn't help but see 98.0 would be a rise indicating O which should have happened approx 2 days ago based on OPK? I just am wondering which to chart, it was no joke 5 seconds later without moving around or anything, and I'm wondering if I just got a better position under my tongue which is why I could get the higher temp. You'll see I charted the higher one because I'm hopeful but I don't want to screw things up.

 

[curiousowl]

Sander, my advice will always be, take it once and chart that temp, no matter what. Frustratingly, it's definitely possible to get a positive OPK and not O, or to O a few days later. I'm crossing my fingers you O'd and you have to go with your gut but try to only temp once!

 

[Sander]

Thanks Curious, I know I should only test once but it's hard to do! Also I actually think my thermometer is off kilter. To test it I checked a bunch of times in a row this afternoon and got 97.7, then 97.3, then 97.5 - and all within 60 seconds. So I think it might be busted :/

 

[happycupcake]

Ladders, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Please if you can, remember and take comfort in the knowledge that at this early stage it's easy for sonographers to be off with measurements and for baby to be a little smaller and then catch up by the usual twelve week scan so please don't lose hope. They have seen a heartbeat which is absolutely fabulous news, so let's hope and pray that this little one does just fine and is just being naughty giving you a scare at the moment! I'm so glad you saw a heartbeat. That's amazing. And isn't unusual to have to do an internal scan to see them at this stage so don't worry about that

I have a Moby thermometer from Amazon and love it if that helps at all.

 

[happycupcake]

Sander different points under your tongue will give you different readings so as annoying as it is, stick with the first temp and try to stick to the same place under your tongue each day.
You could always try temping vaginally if there's a next cycle. Hopefully there won't be, but if there is then personally I have found it easier because there's less chance of it being incorrect or affected by things like having an open mouth in your sleep
