Morning ladies. I've thought of you twice already this morning! My friend had posted on facebook about loving The Big Bang Theory and some else commented "I love BBT too". Gave me a wee giggle
The second one was a song on Radio 1 it was called Arguing with Thermometers by Enter Shikari, and I thought there's plenty of us that do that on a daily basis!
Still no peak but between one thing or another we've not DTD in a while so I'm glad really.
Haha! I'm a Big Bang fan too.
Awesome show! And sounds like you need to get your bd on!
I got my big temp rise today so can definately say I ov'd yesterday. No more descisions now, just wait for AF and look forward to my holiday.
Glad the decision point is now past and you can just relax! *hugs*
Dodger, I'm sorry your numbers are taking there time coming down hun! You will get there and be back on the TTC wagon before you know it
AFM - Had a temp rise this morning
I hope it stays up! I also did an opk last night (poas-aholic alert me thinks
) and had a second line there darker than the past few days but not as dark as the control line. So to be honest don't really know if this means anything??? I also had some af like cramping for a short while yesterday but it is far to early for her to be on her way surely!
xx
Thanks! I hope so... And YAY for the temp rise!
Pink - I think it's because I have PCOS. I think I have higher levels of LH most of the month. If I use OPK's I get dark lines most of the time, though not as dark as the control line, so I gave up on them.
I've not had a cycle like this since I started using the CBFM though. The most high's I've had before a peak is 12 and I'm now on 14. My max ov day was CD22 and that's today with no peak yet. I'm wondering if it's because I took the soy CD4-8 rather than 3-7 like last month. It could be that I'm having an anovulatory cycle too, I'll just have to wait and see.
I had the opposite prob with opks. That's one reason why I haven't used them in the last cycle. Everyone else could say things like "Oh well I'll go pee on an opk. At least then I know I'll get 2 lines!" and I would get the same stark whiteness from those as from the hpts.
With the cbfm, hopefully it's just your cycle being a bit weird this time around and you'll get that peak soon.
Morning ladies, just a quick check in as I'm getting ready for work, I've had a quick read to see how you're all doing.
Slight dip in temp for me this morning but still nicely over the coverline. Caved and tested this morning but bfn, it's still way too early. I'll catch up with you all when I get my break later!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying for a bfp for you!
Gah the spoiler didn't work. But theres my line anyway. Why are they so hard to photograph?
Just called midwife she booked me in but says her hands are tied about the scan but the EPAU said I could have one and would have put it on my details. I'll call them tomorrow. My nerves are shot!
Ugh... I'm sorry you are having to deal with this hun.
Just be happy with those gorgeous pictures! I'm so so so thrilled for you!
Ahhh crap they are there, and I can't remove them. *swearword!* Sorry.
Don't you dare feel back about that! I know that I for one take heart in seeing other ladies that have been through a miscarriage get a bfp afterwards. It gives me hope!!
Morning girls, just on watching one born now, can't wait to see this 10lb 10oz baby! Loz, lovely pics there hun don't worry about the epau, I'm sure you'll stay strong and get your scan
Afm, tested this morning
absolutely stark white
I am feeling a bit upset about it, but trying to console my self that I tested at 12dpo last time and it was neg too, the bfp didn't come til 13dpo. I'm going into town today to do some bits and bobs and going to look for a more sensitive test too. Just realised I've stupidly flushed my fmu and smu, so it looks like I'm waiting til tomorrow now unless I cave and test again tonight when hubby is out
*hugs* Give it that extra time. I know on my bfp cycle, I had a negative the day before I got the positive, so I'm rooting for that to happen to you too! Just ya know... with a very sticky bean and all.
Thanks everyone. St Mary's just called me, theyre going to fit me in as soon as I get a negative pregnancy test so hopefully in a couple of weeks. They're going to do all the tests again as I was technically pregnant when they did the last tests. So hopefully all these can be fitted in before April! I have to call them back nex week to update them about the miscarriage. Might aswell get as much Nhs testing in as possible while I'm waiting. Dr s says leave one clear cycle so hopefully the tests will take me up to april and I'll be free to conceive with reliable test results back in.
I know you are thinking to the future and protecting yourself, but I'm secretly hoping that the scan tomorrow shows a healthy growing bean in there.
Afm, my very first client of the day walked into my treatment room and the first thing she said was "I've had a bit of a shock. I found out I'm pregnant, and we weren't planning it."
I feel like some sort of Pied Piper who has pregnant women following me round everywhere. It's almost comical.
Argh! *hugs* I know how you feel about that.... I do love your pied piper terminology though.
Just got back from having blood work done. I had a resident doctor and she was not at all educated on anything to do with pregnancy. It was almost comical.
They only had to take 4 viles of blood instead of 6, so that made me happy. I got a positive on the urine test, but it still wasn't as dark as the ones I got at home. My doctor has the CRAPPIEST tests ever. Their urine tests never even detected my last pregnancy.
I had to pull teeth to get an early scan. The resident told me that in Canada they only offer ONE ultrasound at 18 WEEKS! What???? How did my sister have 3 or 4 then? They ended up giving me a scan in two weeks for dating as my last cycle ended in a miscarriage. I also have to go for my first prenatal visit next week and get a pap. I hate paps. Blah!
4 VIALS?! Jeez! I mean in the last month I've had many more then that taken, but it was at most 2 vials at a time for pregnancy purposes - one for the hCG levels and *once* one for blood type since we aren't sure. And yeah the 18 weeks thing is just INSANE! I'm so glad you were able to talk them into one at 7 weeks. *hugs*
Nothing new to report from me... Still resisting testing. I woke up with some cramping today, so not sure if that's positive or negative really. I normally don't get cramps with AF, but could all be changed with the mc I suppose. Time will tell!
Am I allowed to start chanting "TEST TEST TEST!!!" yet?
Can you go from known ovulation and add 14 days? I *think* that would work as a rough guide. Anyone??
That's just what I was going to say. That's what my OB was doing to guesstimate the date for mine before the miscarriage.
I HATE smear tests they make me cringe, I need a general anaesthetic for one of those!
. Should have one but not going to.
Me too. Ugh. They just plain old suck.
I'm back from town, managed to get some cheapy tests that are 20mui/ml but I'm waiting til tomorrow now as I've got some spotting. It is strange for me because I usually just start without the warning, but I guess we'll see. If the old hag hasn't turned up by the morning I'll test again. Cramps aren't really af cramps either, but who's to say whats normal now?
To make matte worse, a girl I went to school with posted a pic of her bfp on fb today. Along with the comment "well it wasn't planned but these things happen don't they?"
Spotting could be a good thing!! Fingers totally crossed!
One of my long ago work buddies is very pregnant with her first, he'l be here in a few weeks, we got quite close because she was nervous and scared and wasn't getting much use from her midwife, and although flippant pregnancy comments from people who weren't even trying can be hurtful, my friend has consistantly been in appropriate awe at what she has inside her, and even when complaining about a backache one day she managed to sound like she was grateful for the backache. I'm so happy that she is having such a healthy first pregnancy, and I'm very glad she isn't taking it for granted like so many people! I told her about my loss simply because I had gone and told her I was pregnant, and she shut right up on statuses, but we continued to talk via message. Bless her she wa strying not to say anything that might upset me but I was just happy she was happy I had to tell her off about trying to avoid pregnancy talk just because of me.
Awww! I love your friends attitude about both her pregnancy and how it affects you. That's a good friend right there!
Sorry that sounds so downbeat, but I'm actually pretty angry thinking that I might not be pregnant again
AFM - nothing new. Bleeding has grown to a medium flow level and I had clots in wipes last night and this morning. We'll see what if anything that really means though.
!!
2012 is going to be a good year for us all!!!
