42.3 and trying for #4

[charlie15]

Welcome Shannon, I can say this is a very supportive thread and not too overcrowded, so easy to keep up, if you know what I mean? Your plan sounds perfect, best to get the swimmers in there ready and waiting!

InViviVeritas hoping for your BFP around the corner!

Fandabby, I am feeling ok, obviously still feeling very cautious, but that's me and the way I need to be. I was with my dd, just a bit of self preservation I think. I have been up getting increasingly tired, which is reminiscent of last pregnancy and sore boobs and tender abdomen. I have ordered the serenity progesterone cream. Like you, I figured it can't hurt and will make me feel like I am giving a bit of extra support. But I won't be telling the doctors!

 

[fandabby]

No I didn't tell either. I used 1/4 teaspoon morning and again at night. Then when week 10 reduced it to half the 1/4 morning and night then week 12 just morning then by week 13 I stopped. I used the baking measuring spoon for accuracy.

Good luck Charlie.

Fandabby, I love watching your pregnancy ticker go up and up and up.

Charlie, early pregnancy is a horrible, stressful time. I always want to fast forward through and get to 14 weeks, when I can start to relax a bit. Hang in there! Any chance of an early scan for you?

Shannon, sounds like you did plenty to catch that O. Now the waiting begins.

Me, I'm holding out on POAS. My LP symptoms are always so like those of early pregnancy that I get my hopes up and am disappointed, so trying not to do that this time. AF is due on Friday, so trying to hold on til then if I can. I might test on Thursday, it's easier to deal with the disappointment of a BFN than have AF show up. We shall see how I feel by then.

Gosh you're good holding out, I'd be testing today with an early test. Good luck and fingers crossed you get youf BFP. I'll be watching closely.

THANK YOU...we shall see!!! Love the support and love hearing good news!! fandabby hope to join you soon!!! Good luck Charlie..i am the same way in the beginning..in fact I didn't tell anyone last time I was pregnant till 20 weeks...lol Invivo...I will be peeing OASlike crazy..that what I do..lol Thanks for the support!! Keep ya all posted!!!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Usually I POAS from about 9dpo on, I haven't held out this long since my oldest daughter in '98, when I didn't realise you were allowed to test before AF date.

I wanted to do it differently this month, but I don't know if it was a good idea or not. Usually the BFNs coming from far too early let me down gently, but this time I've got myself all geared up to test and if it's a BFN I'll be very disappointed.

Testing first thing tomorrow morning, 13dpo. Fingers crossed for me, please.

 

[fandabby]

Very best of baby dust luck. Keeping everything crossed you get a positive.....

 

[Shannon30]

Invivo..good luck..everything crossed for you!!!!!

 

[charlie15]

InViviVeritas good luck!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

BFN. Next month I'll be peeing on everything in sight, holding out didn't work for me.

Shannon, you're next! How many DPO are you now?

Sorry InVivo you didn't get the results we were all hoping for. Are you sure you are out? Have your started your AF?

If definitely out, Yes on to the next month. Sending you a tonne of baby dust

Another thing are you taking supplements? It might be worth taking some to see if that helps.

Good luck dear.


Shannon, over to you. How long before you start testing? Good luck also and let's hope for a BFP for you.

Boo, sorry about bfn, but is the witch here yet??

 

[InVivoVeritas]

No sign of the yet. She should have been here first thing yesterday morning but still nothing. I'm sure of my O date (OPK and charting), so I don't think I could have ovulated late. I still have all my good symptoms, which usually disappear about two days before AF.

I spent all of yesterday evening on Google and learned that if I'm not pregnant then I likely have a Corpus Luteum Cyst. I'm giving it til Monday and then I'll test again.

At this point I'm very ready for this 2ww to be over one way or the other.

 

[fandabby]

This waiting is the worse isn't it. Good news AF not arrived yet so you could still get your BFP.

Fingers crossed for you Monday for testing again. Let's hope AF stays away....
and you get your positive line...

 

[Shannon30]

Hello ladies..back from a cheer competition in OHIO..LONG WEEKEND. I see INVIVO...af hasn't shown yet, so still a chance..GOOD LUCK!! I am 5 dpo...will test starting tomorrow because I am a nut. Not holding out too much hope ..but time will tell. Keep you all posted. Thanks.

 

[fandabby]

Any news InVivo?

Shannon, I was just the same testing early. Good luck and I'll be watching for an update.

 

[Shannon30]

Tested today..BFN...but expected still very early!!! I'll test everyday till af shows!!! Good luck ladies!!

 

[ClaireCath]

Hi Ladies! I am back and catching up on the thread....Welcome Shannon!
Going away to sunny Jamaica for a break and not even thinking about TTC was just what the dr ordered. IMAGINE! Having sex just for FUN!! LOL Anyway back on the train now, today is my first day back to work. I still have two weeks to wait before anything gets started at the RE's. My day 3 ultrasound will be March 18th and we'll go from there. IUI will be end of march/first of April...We'll be doing injections and a trigger shot. Been seeing the naturopath for acupuncture and she has me on a hormone balancing eating plan, supplements and UNDA drops for detoxification. So If nothing else, I am getting healthy this month! Also i will contact Mia when I know the date for the iui so she can give my spell a boost....
Charlie. great news!!, how are you feeling?
Fandaby, glad to see your scan went well and babes doing fine Invivo, did the stay away??
I'll be keeping in touch ladies...count down to end of March for me!
to you all!

 

[fandabby]

Shannon, you're right is early so don't get disheartened. Few more days and hopefully you'll see a squinter... Good luck.

Hi ClaireCath, glad you had a fabulous break, you're right destressing does wanders for TTC. You sure you wouldn't have caught whilst away - does happen. ha ha now wouldn't that be awesome.

Great that you are doing all things positive and it won't be long now, fingers crossed.

InVivo, what is your update, did AF get you or you in limbo or did you get your BFP. Hope it's the latter.

Charlie, hope things are still going well for you. You must have started your cream by now. It just feels such a wait doesn't it from getting your positive to being allowed to book in cause I know here you have to be 8 weeks before you are seen by midwife.... Take care..

baby dust to you all

 

[charlie15]

Hey ClaireCath, good to see you back! Glad you had a lovely time in Jamacia, it would be amazing if you caught while away, I hear it happening so often. But either way am excited for you for this next month and plus, must seem like an age away the 18th though. I am feeling ok thanks, was very exhausted yesterday which was reminiscent of last pregnancy, that drugged feeling! But I have been very busy and full of cold, so probably lots of things combined, a bit more energy today, but that lovely bloating has kicked in!

Shannon, hoping for a squinted for you!

InViviVeritas hope it was a BFP for you...

Fandabby yep I got the cream 3 days ago, so have started applying it as you suggested. I saw my GP yesterday who has referred me to the maternity unit, and yep will have to wait a few more weeks to see a mw, I will also have to see the obstetric endocrine docs as I got post partum thyroiditis after dd so am still on thyroxine for that. Still feeling cautious as well as letting myself be happy. Have decided to go privately to get an early scan, but probably not until 8 weeks. How are you feeling? Can't believe that you are 15 weeks already!
