AFM...Stalk my chart!!! BFN! So I probably won't be testing again till Wednesday, tooooo nervous!! Temps staying up, but are decreasing, which is keeping me nervous. My chart was possible Triphastic FF (Day 26) indicated until today's temp. Still missing a regular symptom of AF or BFP, sore bbs! Hope everyone's weekend is going well. I will jump right on here and update after I test soon.... Still creeping to the end of waiting... (that's tea) FXD!
I have my FX'd for you MrsMM24 - I so hope that your temp stays high and that AF does one for a good 9 months or so. Keep us posted x
Morning Filipenko, morning all. This site is officially my favourite thing on the net at the moment as I kind of thought I was the only one going through this and feeling this way, when all my friends seem to be falling pregnant at the drop of a hat and carrying babies to term. As you have all been through similar recently there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask if you don't mind. If it was your second loss, how differently did you feel to the first time? Because I seem to have come through this one easier than the first, even though it didn't really sink in for a while. Now I know there is no right and wrong way to feel and we are all different but I am just curious to know if anyone felt similar. And also did you have any signs in the pregnancy that things weren't right? Both my losses were different, with the first all my symptoms disappeared a week or so beforehand which was my first clue, before the bleeding started. Second time, symptoms like sickness remained string but a couple of strange things from the off made me suspicious, I never had sore boobs at all and all the way through the pregnancy my hair came out in clumps when I washed it, when it usually stays put while you are pregnant. Sorry if this isn't the right place to be asking these questions, I'm just questioning so much at the moment.
I felt completely differently second time round. I think it was a mixture of things - the first one lasted longer and although we knew the risks we had no reason to believe that anything would go wrong (other than I was spotting but I was told not to worry etc). As such, I think we bonded with the idea of a baby more - we talked names, nursery plans, planned maternity/paternity leave and so on. When we lost it we therefore lost not only the baby but a specific lifeplan (if that makes sense).
With the second we didn't allow ourselves to get as attached and as it lasted a shorter period of time then that helped with that too. We didn't talk of names or plans as we knew from our previous experience that it could be taken away from us so easily. As such, we didn't bond as much and it wasn't as hard. Don't get me wrong, I was gutted but I felt much more knowledgeable, wise to the process, and less attached and as a result it didn't impact as much as the first psychologically.
In terms of signs, with the first I just had spotting. However, I am a 'spotter' (I spot from 7/8dpo) and so this wasn't a huge surprise. It was the spotting that made me seek some medical advice and they scanned and saw no hb. It wasn't until after the scan that my symptoms disappeared though. With the second, I had loads of signs - a lack of sore boobs, digi tests not progressing, lines not getting darker on ICs, spotting (again), just generally 'knowing' that something wasn't right.
It was not as hard second time though...
Well that sounds like a real +ve OPK then and not just left over HCG
Sounds like so to me too! I had three days of positive opk this cycle so it is possible.... Keep BD'ing!!!
