Hey Elise!
Wow! That doesnt sound great, thanks for sharing. I seem to be okay but if I do get any of these symptoms (and it isnt because of BFP!!) then Ill think twice.
I had a whole bunch of kale yesterday so hopefully thats done me some good!!
I think Ill give the lemon cake a go at the weekend OH is away so have to try even harder to keep myself occupied! I'm thinking a lot of household chores!!
Your cake looks great- sounds delicious too, thanks for the picture - I love to be nosey!
This is the worst bit of the TWW not even at the end of week one yet and I'm already fed up!! Why does it take SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long?!!
I dont seem to be getting any symptoms. How are you feeling? Any developments? Hopefully one of us is seeing something!!

I agree, the two week wait has proven soooo difficult!!
However, have just found out some bad news.. GP has got my pap smear results. And said I have abnormal results, and that i have severe dyskaryosis grade 4, which needs to be sorted at a colposcopy appointment.. She said it is not yet cancer but it is very urgent and should take priority. It will be removed with a laser, and depending on how deep and wide the affected area is, it may result in a miscarriage even if i got pregnant this cycle. Did a pee test at the clinic and not yet pregnant but nurse said it is too early for a pee test. Waiting for colposcopy appointment... Will ring them tomorrow in any case as I want this resolved asap before it gets worse... Doctor said they had lost my forms last time which is why we had to fill them in again and why I had not yet had my appointment letter yet... AM i glad I booked a doctor's appointment for today at the last minute!!
The abdomen swelling and nausea have got worse, so tomorrow am having a blood test for ovary abnormalities. I really hope that comes back negative! I also need to make an ultra sound scan appointment for the same thing when the hospital office reopens tomorrow.. Oh, and tomorrow will also have a blood test to show if I have ovulated..
I think it will be later this month or next month that things are clearer...
What a mess..
How about you? Have you had any promising symptoms yet? I know it is early.. but hey you never know!! x

Oh Elise! 
You poor thing!! You must look at it positively though. The good news is that you are getting everything seen to now and the doctors will be taking great care of you, getting you in perfect shape for TTC next time!
I say treat yourself to whatever you want today and make sure you get your OH on phone so he can keep you company.
Sending you lots of postive thoughts and prayers

Hey, thank you
You are right, it is awesome that this was discovered in time!
My mom had had it too, not sure if it had ever reached the severe stage. Back then it was treated with the loop, which is more invasive than the laser, and last night she told me she was still pg with my brother within a month afterwards, no complications with the pregnancy, carried to full term.. So it all depends on what area is affected and how deep.. I read that some women had to have the cone treatment, where the edges of the cervix had to be removed which may cause problems later.. but they still managed to have kids following that, albeit with more rest than usual... I am not a believer in the current state of the NHS however, I prefer to pay for it and get it done if I had the choice.. They lost the forms last time, just called them for an appointment and they said they will send me a letter within 2 weeks first, containing a line number which I should then call to make an appointment. Pretty useless really.. I need to resolve this asap so I can continue TTC asap rather than have a m/c if anything happens before they decide to treat me..Have already made my ovary and uterine ultra scan appointment for the 7th March, and am having a blood test for that today as well.. Within 3 weeks all should be clear as to if there is an issue there
It will not stop me trying to conceive though.. People had actually noticed the swelling at work.. 
I hope they don't think I am PG.. as this would affect my salary increase come end of March.. Am currently paid just 70% of the average for the UK for my experience and qualifications.. Decided not to change jobs as we decided to try to conceive instead after I came in second in a series of interviews for another better position.. Oh btw, I also found out yesterday that the pre-conception tests showed normal hormonal levels! And that my rubella immunity is fine. A second blood test today will check if I definitely ovulated or not.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel! When are you testing?
How have you been feeling? All my fingers and toes are crossed for you!!

Hey Elise
So great you are thinking positive! I've only heard positive stories for people who have had abnormal results so keep smiling and focusing on the good side
I wouldn't worry about people at work, like I always tell myself, people are always way too busy worrying about their own problems! You just focus on you
Ahh thanks - you're so sweet! I'm feeling the same - nothing much going on, keeping a track of the few symptoms I have been getting - some real stabbing pains on left side last night, hoping that's a good thing! One week in though which means only one more to go! Reckon I'll hold out testing till next week. (yawn!)...although I have been looking up whether people can get a BFP at 7dpo!!!
Got all my fingers and toes crossed for you too - and you're right! let's spread us a little more baby dust round here!

Heyyy MsCC You are so positive and gorgeous, you are truly like a ray of sunshine!!
Thank you Yes you are very right, there is a good chance I see no long-term impact from this.. it all depends on which area was affected and how deep they had to cut as to whether issues with conceiving (if the cervix opening was tightened, so IUI helps), with miscarriage (incompetent cervix, but that may be later in the pregnancy, 14 week onwards), with birth (the scar tissue may not allow the cervix to dilate enough, so very rarely a cesarian would be required) appear later. It is good to be aware of these risks and be on the look out for any issues, a lot of women were told not to worry, and sadly lost their babies. Especially heart-breaking was the story of a lady who was told she should see no issues till week 14 or so, and lost her baby a day before the doctors appointment..
Lol, the reason I read up on it is because, guess what, I had my colposcopy done with lightening speed last Friday 22nd! I was in a lot of pain and had not been able to sleep, so called the private BUPA insurers (we get this through the company, however I thought colposcopy is not covered after reading their exclusion list.. it turned out it is, and I had an appointment within half an hour on the same day!). I had the LLETZ, so am waiting for the results of the biopsy to tell me if they had got it all, and what exactly the abnormality is, the doctor said rarely it may turn out to have been cancerous or that she had not got it all. I will then have another colposcopy and test for HPV 6 months later.. a lot of women seem to need another treatment. If I am not clear of the HPV virus at that point, but smear is normal then I will be tested regularly to make sure it does not cause abnormality again.. Sorry for the TMI.. There might be some other women out there who may relate to this or want to share their story and whether this impacted them when TTC later...
All that said, a lot of women went on to have kids without any probs, sooner or later, my mom included within a month of the colposcopy...
) 
(tho she was 5-6 younger than me at that point...) Sometimes the surgery cuts out some of the CM glands which may make it hard for sperm to survive, however Pre-seed helps in those cases, or IUI of course.
So um.. I am not allowed to have sex within 3-4 weeks.. a requirement I will almost meet.. and I am not supposed to get pg as yet.. a requirement I hope I will not meet.
I am working on strengthening my immune system by taking supplements and eating the right foods What makes me think I should be OK is that while my cervix was vascous and extremely painful during the smear, it was way better during the colposcopy, and only a small area was affected! Shocking! So I think all that bloating and fever was a sign that my immune system had been kicking some HPV bum behind the scenes!
Sadly, I was not told what strain of HPV I have. (it helps decide whether to take action sooner or later if the next smear shows abnormality) I do suspect it might be 16, as this is the one that develops really quickly. I had an absolutely clear smear 1 and a half years ago!
My AF has showed up..well, I think it is my AF rather than heavier spotting from the colposcopy.. So it is on to cycle #3 TTC My fiance's project is going groovy and he should be here soon So I hope we can get down to business lol 
He is having some sperm analysis done as soon as he lands, so that we know if all is well. He did a home fertility test and his sperm count showed a bit on the low side. He has been taking his wellman pre-conception supplements, which contain lots of Maca extract, so he has already seen an improvement.. 
Of course, there would be no point guessing and we should wait for the analysis report later in the month
My ovarian abnormality blood test has come back negative! Yay! This would not cover cysts though, would it... I do have an ultra sound scan next Thursday, so I presume that will give an indication as to whether there are any ovarian issues not picked up by the blood test that might explain my ovaries pain.. I do hope I get the all clear on that front...
) So anyway, I have not given up trying to conceive. 
Hey what are the results of your tests??? Any big fat positive news yet??? 
Btw, I do not think a urine test at 7 DPO would be reliable.. Although a blood test that early post ovulation would be reliable! Gosh, I so hope this is your month!!! It is so frustrating to keep trying. 
Tho fun of course.. lol Reading the statistics, it takes healthy couples 6 months on average to get pregnant.. It took my grandma in her early twenties a whole year to conceive a second time (after she waited for 6 years to try to conceive...)!! However, it took my mom a month only!! Gosh, I am so hoping to be more like my mom for the first time in my life!!! )))
Have you been cooking/baking some more since we last spoke? Any exciting recipes I could try? I have had no time for baking, but cooked a new chicken/rice recipe which was so simple and divine lol (i was in desperate need of some homely filling tasty food) https://www.recipelink.com/msgbrd/board_1/2010/SEP/8757.html And am now looking at a bean recipe! Take two! No more weird bean experiments, real nutritious homely cooking is called for here lol! https://sharemykitchen.com/recipes/...lgarian-soups/bob-chorba-bulgarian-bean-soup/ or https://bulgariatravel.org/data/doc/ENG_37-Bob_chorba.pdf
Oh and a simple filo pastry dessert, yum! https://saltinfood.blogspot.nl/2011/09/milk-banitsa.html.. Have also been eying this spinach filo pastry snack for when William arrives https://hoppinjohns.net/?p=161
Hugs,

Hey Elise! Aww thanks y'all are so sweet!
Good to have you back!
Wow so glad you got everything seen to so quickly - that's great!
You've really done your research - good for you! I'm sure you'll be just like your momma! Baby-making's hereditary after all. My sister experienced everything just like my mom when she had her DD so I say it's great to know your mom had her babies so soon after.
Hope you are feeling okay now and that's SO great your OH is back soon! Things are looking up for you!! So pleased
Oh gosh I haven't baked anything!! my diet has been so terrible this past week!!
Not really sure what I've been up to, just trying to keep my mind off symptoms spotting!!
So I'm 15dpo today - so funny, I never thought I'd get here back at 1dpo!
BUT still no sign of you know who!...
I was so desperate to get to testing day and now it's here I'm all - hey let's leave it till tomorrow!!! But OH told me to take a test though before he left for work! I guess I've been putting it off as REALLY didn't want to see a BFN.
I've taken a picture, I see something faint!! but thinking it should be darker given how many DPO I am so I'm unsure! Normally I'd have spotted for a couple of days by now but that's not happened either so I'm still praying it will get darker!
I'll test again in the morning if the witch doesn't show up in the meantime. FX!!
Thanks so much for the recipes I'm going to take a look at them now - keep my mind from lines and AF!!!

Oh Myee Gaaawd! I can see a line! Like totally!! It is definitely a line!! I know it is faint, but it IS a line!! Gosh, I'd go to the docs if I were you and get it confirmed with a blood test Or perhaps in the meantime try a digital test which would be more definitive and clear, rather than wonder about it? It's best to know asap if you are pregnant!
I have never had a "fake" positive line so I don't think this is an evap or an accidental line!
Soooo happy for you!

Aww thanks Elise!! You're so sweet! All those lovely smileys have made me smile too that's for sure!!
So glad you see something too!! Sent picture to OH and he says he can see a line! I thought it was just me seeing things.
You're right. I'm going to pick up some other tests tonight as it's only an IC and from what I've been reading they are really unreliable.
Still no AF though - I swear I'm finding an excuse to go to the bathroom every 10 mins!!!
Thanks so much for your lovely message - I'll send an update if I make it through the rest of the day without meeting the
Hope you have a great evening xx
