33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[ladders]

Thanks citrus and cupcake I thought so too but wanted to check this morning I had to hold it all sorts of ways and tilt here and there and this one could see from just looking and was in the tin e frame . Iv had an anxious belly all day but I think more because I'm nervous! If this does turn into something even if doesn't stick then I am 100%% attributing it to the mucinex!!!!!!

Citrus I started feeling a bit nauseous and retchy at like 4dpo which is why I started testing early so hopely it means something for us!

 

[citrusfruit]

Have you got a pic of the tests you've taken in order one underneath the other?

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Welcome, Ash!

Happycupcake, I'm sorry you've had a migraine 😞 I hope it eases up soon. I see that line! And to me, looks darker than yesterday's test. I can't wait for tomorrow mornings test!

Ladders, I see your line too!! I didn't see it on your fmu test but I did on the ones after and I agree it does look like progression! I'm also excited and can't wait for tomorrow morning's test for you too!

Citrus, I'm sorry I know nothing about charts lol but I was also a bit nauseous around 5-6 dpo too so hopefully it's a good sign for you! Will you test early or wait? Sorry if you've already said, I can't remember lol

Sander, I'm sorry af got you. Hopefully this new cycle will be your month. I also count the first day of red to be cd1.

Daisies, I'm doing well. I'm very tired and slightly nauseous in the morning but it usually eases up after about an hour. I was starting to worry about not having to pee every five minutes a few days ago but now I can't stop lol! I'm actually happy with it though because it assures me that I'm pregnant. I know it sounds weird but I don't usually get ms I just have to pee often so that's why I'm happy about it lol I hope you're work days this week go smoothly and you aren't too sick at work.

I'm so sorry if I've left anyone out. I can't remember anything else lol

 

[Sander]

Hi everyone - you're all so busy overnight haha

Citrus (I think it was?) - very cool we're on the same dpo, and I think happycupcake is only 1 day ahead.

Hopfl - I think you're confusing me for Duster, who's on Cd1 I believe (sorry duster )

Hi ash!

Ladders - hopefully your tests will get darker and darker! Same to you happycupcake!

Today am 6DPO, feeling mild cramping - not at all painful, just like things are moving around in there haha. Could be a good sign but I don't know, don't really have other symptoms and the cramps are really hardly noticeable. Planning to wait till Thursday to do first real test - the wait is so loooooong

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

OMG I'm so super nervous! Right after I posted my reply I had to go pee again and when I wiped I saw red! 😢😦 it wasn't much just one streak of blood on the tp. I checked cm and there wasn't anything. I'm almost completely dry down there. I'm still cramping a little bit but not as much as I have been. I'm so scared! Please please please stick with me baby! I'm going to get more first signal tests because I used the last one this morning.

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh no Kim! I really really hope it's nothing. Some people do bleed a bit and all is normal so as long as it doesn't get heavy I wouldn't worry too much? Easier said than done though I know.

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, I have had some degree of spotting and bleeding with all of my children. Have you had sex recently? Or even checking your cervix daily? It can be easily irritated and cause a little bleeding. It could also be implantation, where they are snuggling in more and more, the whole process of implantation can last a week! So it's possible this is the cause. But, whatever it is, it's unlikely to be anything sinister
Also, have you checked around there for any little spots or cuts? Have you been constipated because sometimes this can tear around our backsides and can sometimes catch on the loo roll making it look like the bleeding is coming from elsewhere. I'm curious as you checked your cervix and there wasn't anything which makes me think it isn't coming from inside you but quite possibly outside in the area

 

[happycupcake]

Oh no Kim! I really really hope it's nothing. Some people do bleed a bit and all is normal so as long as it doesn't get heavy I wouldn't worry too much? Easier said than done though I know.

True. But in some instance of heavy bleeding all has been ok. Sometimes it's unexplainable. Sometimes it's twins and one is lost - this happened to a friend's mum, as my friend was a twin. She lost the other early on and bled a lot, but obviously my friend was ok.
I suspect though if only a tiny streak it's probably from outside, an irritated cervix or implantation

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I'm sorry Sander for getting you confused with Duster.

Duster, sorry about af.

Thank you for trying to reassure me Citrus and Happycupcake.

Happycupcake, no sex in 2 days. Not constipated either but I have been checking cm because I'm paranoid. Maybe I should stop? Also dh bought the cheap tp and it tends to feel like its cutting me because it's so rough when I wipe, so maybe that's where the blood came from? I hope so! I just had to go again and there was no blood or colored cm on the tp this time so I'm hoping it was just irritated by the rough tp?

 

[Sander]

Sounds like a tiny bit of blood that's stopped now is nothing to worry about!

 

[happycupcake]

I don't think you have anything to worry about. It could be the toilet roll, or if you shave then you may have a tiny scratch you didn't realise was there, I have done this so many times! It could also be checking your cervix because they can be easily irritated. When I had my cervical screenings (I had to have a few because they kept returning as inadequate) they made me bleed a surprising amount each time! I know obviously this is far more abrasive but it shows how sensitive a cervix can be, since many don't bleed having them done, and during pregnancy your cervix is usually softer (although sometimes this doesn't happen immediately) so probably easier irritated than usual

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Oh! I haven't thought about the shaving thing too! I did shave a few hours ago! So maybe that could have been it? IDK but I'm happy it's gone. I am cramping more now but I think that's either all in my head or only because I'm thinking about it more. I don't know. I'll just be happy to be able to call tomorrow and make the appointment with the Dr and see what happens. I was going to make the appointment for two weeks from today since I'll be 6w1d then. But with me being even more paranoid now, I kinda want to get in asap although I know they probably won't be able to see much on a scan right now. I'm 4w1d today. When do you think the earliest they would be able to see the heartbeat is? I've always been at 6 weeks and always saw strong heartbeats then.

Oh and my cervix isn't soft yet. It's medium/firm but more medium if that makes sense?

 

[dustergrl]

Kim, fx that it's nothing at all. I woke up soaked in blood with DS at about 8 weeks and it was my sch acting up.

ladders- yes, it is af. Sitting in a bath right now with a beer and pity party while DH cares for DS. It is the worst that it has been since getting my cycles back pp. The cramps are awful! Have spent most of the day doing nothing, even though it's Memorial Day here in the US.

Welcome ash!

Hope the rest of you ladies are well! I'd love to live vicariously through your pregnancies as this was my timeline with DS (lmp May 4 with him), so keep us updated.

It's amazing how impatient you can get while ttc!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you, Duster, me too! I'm sorry you're having bad cramps and feeling low. Enjoy your beer and bath! I bet you were terrified when waking up soaked in blood with your Lo. Good to know everything worked out though! I hope you feel better soon.

 

[curiousowl]

Ladders, I hope it keeps getting darker!

So sorry about AF duster.

Welcome ash!

That's scary but hopefully it's nothing Hopefl. I bet it might have been from shaving.

 

[melewen]

Hopful how many dpo are you?

 

[dustergrl]

Thanks Kim and curious.

Yes it was scary, Kim. We went to the ER but baby was healthy- can't ask for more than that and now I have the sweetest little boy.

 

[melewen]

Duster we are close on our cycles! I'm like cd3 though I should be cd1 🙄🙄🙄 are you swaying for a certain sex or don't care? Our ds's are pretty close in age! Where in the US are you? I've been finishing up my AF-Induced pity party this Memorial Day too 😂 Getting back on track with decent eating tomorrow

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Mel, I'm 14dpo today (still Monday night here)

Duster, I'm so happy it worked out great for you. I'm hoping I don't see anymore blood but at this point, I'm thinking it was from shaving. I finally get to call tomorrow to make my first obgyn appointment and I'm so excited! I hope I can get in at the end of the week next week. I should be far enough along to see if baby is in the correct place and possibly a little heartbeat? I'm aiming to get in on Friday which will be 5w5d. Is that too soon or should I make the appointment for the following week?

 

[dustergrl]

mel, I'm in Southeast Wisconsin. I'd love another little boy but I got the boy I wanted the first time around so it really doesn't matter. We also have a fantastic girl's name picked out- and can't seem to find a boy name we like as much as our choice the first time around. So either way would be fine; I'm thinking we might stop at two so this might be our last. I keep having twin dreams, though! That isn't really a desire but I wouldn't be surprised with all the dreams.

Kim, my OB didn't want to see me until 8ish weeks I think, so I'm not sure on the heartbeat. Good luck though!
