Hey Never - I know, I keep wondering about Lady! Hope to hear good news soon. How are you doing? Thanks for the I have tried to catch it this month, hope so! Xx

 

[wookie130]

We may not be hearing much from Lady, as she's either in the process of delivering her little girl, or she's gearing up to take her home, or she's had her, and is home, and is busy every waking (and sleeping) moment! Let's hope so, anyway! LOL!

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Hope everyone is ok today

So I have given in and am going to have a go at temping, I totally don't understand what I am doing, and am now trying to figure out how to make my chart available to view on here! anyway if I can stick at it then any help trying to analyse my chart will be appreciated xx

 

[wookie130]

Thurl, are you going through Fertility Friend?

Get a basal body temperature thermometer...I bought mine at Walgreens. Set your alarm for the same time every morning, with your thermom right next to it, and as soon as it goes off to wake you, pop it in, wait for the beep, turn it off, and hopefully, it will have an auto-memory feature, when you turn it back on, it gives you your last temp. Don't get up, get out of bed, or even speak before that temp is taken! Then, put your temp into FF's "Enter data" tab. If you wake in the middle of the night unexpectedly, take your temp right when you wake up, and record it, unless you're able to get a solid 4 or 5 hours after you go back to bed...then you can just go with your temp that you take when your alarm goes off. It must be the same time every morning, and it's most reliable if you've had at least 4 hours of interrupted sleep!

 

[thurl30]

Hi Wookie, thanks for the info, I am going through Fertility friend, and I'm setting my alarm for 6am every day eek! I'm excited trying all these different things

Hope you're feeling ok

 

[Sooperhans]

Good luck on ff Thurl, I haven't ruled out using it again, having a break from temping though after 2 months, I'm a bad sleeper and it didn't help that! But I hope you get on well.

I chased about the scan today as still no letter...they called back and claim they sent it on Fri, they also told me the date in the message.....30th July. So the day before my first dd then, god knows how I'm going to feel, thinking what I could have had and instead I'm going to be poked and prodded to see if anything is wrong. Thinking about how long ago I originally went to the docs, I thought I would avoid it a bit more. At least I have a date now though x

hi ladies

haven't been around for the last couple of weeks I think. I hope you don't mind but I need to just tell you wats been going on forgive me if this is a bit depressing.

I have developed serious morning sickness condition and my quality of life has completely deteriorated.

Things are pretty bad....i didn't think anything could get in the way of how happy I would b once I got my BFP but I was wrong. My gyno is away till next week but I insisted on an ultrasound from this GP I went to see. There is a gestational sac a foetal pole which is normal and a heartbeat of 150 but the placenta has a couple of dark spots which don't look normal - with the severe nausea and high HCG levels it could mean partial mole although this seems uncertain they want to do another U'S in a couple of weeks.

I had no idea that it was possible to get this sick. I think I am experiencing depression and some anxiety. They have tried to give me drugs for the nausea but no real improvement.

Sorry to be so down...this has put a massive strain on my relationship and we r both rethinking whether to go ahead with this as we can't see how we will cope w my being so ill all the time. I feel so guilty to be ruining my partners experience of this and he doesn't want to c me go through this and thinks we should end it. He thinks my body is telling me something is wrong w the pregnancy and that might b why I am so incredibly sick and debilitated.

I haven't been well enough to read over how everyone is going but the moment i am well enough I will. I have been thinking of you all and hoping that you are well and getting closer to your BFP's.

best wishes and thank you for listening xx

[wookie130]

Madeline, that sounds awful. What are the chances that you've developed hyperemesis already? That's probably more likely than a partial molar pregnancy, which is quite rare. For your sake, I really hope this is not the case. And DO NOT listen to your partner if he's pressuring you to end the pregnancy. He is wrong. Maybe there IS something wrong, but there's just as much of a chance that there isn't at this point. When is your next scan?

Hang in there. Being that sick puts a damper on EVERYTHING!

 

[Madeline]

hi wookie

thks for being so lovely xxx don't worry my partner isn't pressuring me if anything it took a few days for him to really understand how sick i am. hyperemesis thats wat the doctor wrote down. thats wat they r trying to treat me for. i am calling th gp's surgery tomoro to see if there are any diagnostic tests they can do re the possibility of partial molar pregnancy, it is rare but so is hyperemesis and apparently severe nausea is one of the symptoms they look for along w high hcg levels and a few other things.

i have a scan next thurs but that may b too early they indicated 2 wks from today for the next one. i will know more tomro i think. i am not prepared to wait 2 wks they r going to have to do some other tests to make sure its nothing bad.

how r u doing? i hope everything is ok?

Hi everyone, have had such a busy week I haven't checked in for a while. Work was just frantic but had a four day weekend for DHs birthday which was fab, such fun!

Hope all the pg ladies are feeling well. Waiting patiently for news from Lady! Madeline, so sorry you are feeling so rough, it sounds just awful. I can't imagine as I've only ever had a bit of nausea but please don't rush into anything. I really hope things pick up for you soon.

Thurl I'm going to temp next month too. I meant to start this month but had a dead battery in my thermometer and then because of abnormally early +Opk I completely missed the window. Will be calling on the advice of you guys when the time comes.

Emme I m thinking about looking into soy iso-thingys. I don't even know if I have a prob with ov but (this odd month aside) I'm usually a bit later than I'd like and ive heard it's much more natural than clomid which the Dr mentioned last time. Do you know if there are any side effects? Where do you get it?

Afm, I'm 8dpo but don't think I'm in with a real shot this month. Got 2 in before ov but DH then developed a bad back for a week. He said I was more than welcome to try but he wouldnt be able to move at all! The humiliation factor was too high I thought I'm not that desperate lets wait til next month when he can put a bit of effort in too!

Fx for all of you in the 2ww x

 

[BeachChica]

Oh Madeline, I am so sorry for all that you are going through. I really wish your partner would be much more supportive for you through all this. I am really praying that everything will be fine for you and that if you do get some good news your relief will help keep you postive though your illness.

Thurl/Nicki - I would be happy to help with your charts if you have questions. You can click my chart below as well and take a look if you want to compare with yours.

 

[wookie130]

Madeline, so far so good...I think! My first miscarriage was a MMC last year, and I thought everything was fine and dandy when it wasn't, so naturally, I'm very insecure that this will not be my rainbow baby. My first scan will be when I'm 7w1d, on July 30th...hopefully I'll see a heartbeat for once!

Also, there's a gal on here who has had multiple losses, and is just recovering from a very serious bout of hyperemesis...her screen name is Mrskg...she's a lovely gal, if you wanted to peek at her journal. Perhaps she could give you some advice, also!

 

[Emmediva]

Madeline, I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time. Do you feel like lots of heartburn? If so try Prevacid, that has helped me tremendously. Also try Ginger & Peppermint tea. Hopefully the tests give you more answers.

Nicki, I got the Soy Isoflavones at a health store. Any vitamin/health store should carry them. I did not have issues ovulating, this just helped me ensure a strong ovulation. I took them from cd 5-9, ovulated cd15. I did not notice any side effects, but I also took Maca root, CoQ10, baby aspirin & prenatal supplements. I'm fixing to give all my stash of pharmaceuticals to a friend that has irregular periods, hoping she can get preggo too I noted what I took for this pregnancy in my journal I'll look through and see if I can get more info lol it's been awhile

Wooks & Sooper, July 30th is our day!!

Beach, how are you doing?

Thurl, temping is great, love FF, it helped me lots good luck.

Lady, hope your princess is here.

:wave: hi to anyone I may have missed.

AFM, 2 more days and I'll be 13 weeks!! Eeek!!! have had nausea & gagging every day, very tired, lots of peeing (4x's a night) abdomen sore & crampy (ligaments stretching) lower back pain has started, boobs are sore, nipples still peeling, but hearing my baby's heartbeat makes it all worthwhile I can't wait till July 30th so I can see the baby again!!! So excited

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Soop sorry to hear about the timing of your appointment, but atleast you have a date and hopefully you can get sorted and get your bfp, anytime you need to talk it out just come on here, my first dd is approaching too it sucks, but we just have to think we will get there

Madeline sorry to hear you have been so poorly, I have everything crossed for you that it will all be ok, thinking of you

Nicki you made me chuckle with your dh bad back situation I am stocked up on Soya Isoflavones now, I got mine from Tesco, I'm nervous about taking them because it says 1 a day on the pack and clearly I am going to take more so goodness knows what they could do to me but I am willing to give anything a shot! Do you take anything at the moment? I just started Evening Primrose oil capsules too

Beach thanks for the offer of help, I'm definately going to need it I haven't got a clue how to read the chart, it's shot up today though which already looks a bit strange, mind you I'm a rubbish sleeper so although I am taking my temp at the same time every day, the chances of me having 4 hours undisturbed sleep is pretty slim so I reckon that will affect the results. Hope you're doing ok

Emme not long now until you get to see your little beanie again, really happy for you and looking forward to hearing about it

 

[Nicki123]

Thanks Emme, I'll have a route through your journal to find out what the magic ingredients were

Thurl - right I'll head to tesco. Aside from my gazilion vitamins I'm just taking EPO at the mo in the first half of my cycle but only one capsule a day and I haven't noticed much , if any, of an increase in Ewcm. Was going to try grapefruit juice this month too but ov got me a week earlier than usual so I didn't get much of a chance.

Hey Soop, glad you got an appointment, hope the time flies by x

 

[Emmediva]

Nicki, I found it page 44, I wrote down exactly what I was going to take mg & days. LOL

 

[Nicki123]

Found it!! Thank you Emme I will look into the wild yam root and maca root, never heard of these. Have any uk ladies tried them and where do you get such a thing? Might just start with the iso flavones but it's good to have other options lined up.

 

[BeachChica]

Thurl- looking forward to helping with your chart so ask anytime. After a couple months of logged history in there it will start to predict you O Days so you can prepare and the estimates get more accurate the more you use it. Also, be sure to log other things like CM, symptoms etc, all that helps and I like to look back at my previous months to check for patterns. Good luck!!!

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Hi ladies,

Well so far so good I am 3 days late but after having 2 miscarriages i'm reluctant to do a test until I am a week late and practically know for sure as I keep loosing at exactly 6 weeks and we get sooo excited each time. I am worried if I am at the moment as I've just started a new job and it was very last minute or we would've held off trying a little while until i'd settle there as I am on 6 month probation with shift patterns but by Law they couldn't sack me if I were pregnant I just hope they wouldn't be able to think up a reason if that's the case. How're u ladies doing??
