Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

menb- I feel the same way! I am constantly worrying! If I have no symptoms, I feel like it is a bad sign, if I feel miserable I feel like it is a bad sign. Spotting and cramping (while completely normal) scare the crap out of me! I think it is completely normal to worry. I convinced myself everything would be OK last time, only to find out my gestational sac was empty, and it is hard knowing that while it is rare to have two in a row, the exact same thing could happen again!

I know exactly how you feel Twinkie... regardless of the fact that the odds are in our favour that this isn't another ectopic, I'm still worried... obviously the bleeding hasn't help negate that worry, but what can you do?

I'm still spotting, but it's gone back to a dark reddish/brown, old blood look... so that's good. I haven't had any terrible cramps, just the usual little twinges and pulling feeling. It feels like there is this big weight down there.
I've also had to combat feelings of nausea twice now... last night before bed and when I woke up last night sweating to death (was SO warm)... That's another thing I've been dealing with, is hot flashes. One second I'm freezing (not surprising considering it's -23C/-10F outside) and the next I'm in blast furnace. Ah well... I'll take feeling crappy over losing my baby any day, bring it on!

Morning all.

I see we are all a bunch of worry warts. Lol I didn't worry at all the first two times. Never dreamed anything bad could happen. The third time I worried only because I had had a chemical the month before and was so worried it would happen again only to have a mc. Now I am not just nervous, I'm paranoid. Although we are pretty positive that the chemical and mc were due to the fact that I had a copper iud for 8 years just before I got pregnant. Our line of reason is that the embryo couldn't implant properly due to tissue/scar tissue build up in my uterus. The iud turned my period into hemmoraging with debilitating cramps. For five days my flow was so heavy I would bleed through a super plus pad/tampon in 20 minutes. And I would be in bed for at least 2 days because of the cramps. I can't take birth control because for some reason it turns me into Jekyll and Hyde. So the iud was my best option. So when they did my d&c I believe it cleaned out my womb making it a better place for my bean to implant. This idea is the only reason I haven't gone insane with worry. Lol

I find keeping busy helps too and my farm and work keep me fairly busy. Not to mention my kids and there continuous activities. We plan on opening a food truck next year and the planning for that has been a big distraction as well.

Colta... Glad the bleeding seems to be old blood. Really hope it all just goes away. When is your next apt again? Was it the 7th?

Moter.... Using opks yet?

Tv how about you? Opks?

Berdc, Menb and Twinkie.... How are you all feeling today?

Yup... another appointment on the 7th. I go in in the morning to have bloods done and then to the Dr at 2:45pm for my appointment. Right now I'm just praying my numbers doubled or more than doubled by then... I might see if I can convince DH to get me some more HPT's... lol, then I can see how I'm progressing.
I'm starting to feel a bit better though emotionally. It's still hard and nerve racking and just down right unpleasant... but I just keep thinking, "It's only spotting right now... my numbers are good, no point in working myself up when there's nothing I can do anyway".
So yeah, we'll see how things go on Tuesday.

 

[mailcmm]

Colta get those hpts I posted about.... The ones that quantify hcg. They are price but would be great to see how things are going. Your numbers are high enough now to always get a positive. But these will tell you your hcg. Looking for the web site again

These would be perfect for you. An hpt is always gonna be positive but these would show you how it's going.

 

[Twinkie210]

Colta, I am glad to hear that you are back to brown spotting. I keep grunge to tell myself that.my blood tests were good so there is no reason to worry and it isn't going to help to worry anyway, but there are still times when I panic a little. I am glad you are doing a little better emotionally and i am still praying for good news for you on Tuesday.

My husabnd and I got up early this morning and went to Shoney and eat the breakfast buffet. After eating we went to Target and Sears where we made our first baby purchases. I know I have already bought some diapers and wipes, but this trip was exciting because it was our first trip together. We bought onsies, burp pads, blankets, and a baby book. I wish we knew what we were having so we could have bought some outfits. Come on March 21st.

I think I've noticed a pattern forming with my spotting... in the mornings up until late afternoon, my spotting is very light brown and practically nonexistent...
In the late afternoon (around 2-3pm... sometimes a hour later/earlier) it becomes either reddish brown or bright red and there is more of it along with some slightly more noticeable cramps...
In the evening... around 6-7ish it starts calming back down, going to a dark red/brown and becoming lighter (not as much) again until it's practically back to where it was in the morning...

Isn't that weird??

 

[mailcmm]

Probably because you are more busy at that time of day.

Maybe... all I did different today at that time of day is shower... otherwise I've done nothing different. Still weird, ah well... what can ya do?

Just beautiful berdc. Absolutely beautiful!

 

[menb]

That is pretty weird Colta. Wonder if it has to do with movement/rest? Was the pattern true today as well?

Yes and no... after my shower I sat around for a while and rested and things seemed to calm down a bit... but then I went out to a friends house for her birthday (just sat around on the couch), but it picked up worse then it's been. I had a streak of red/pink blood on my panty liner and it seemed almost like a very light flow. However, since getting home (about 15mins after I noticed the increased amount), things have once again started to calm down.

Throughout all of this I haven't had any real cramps... I have a few twinges and some mild crampy pressure, but nothing to write home about. I've read stories from a lot of women who have had this or similar during most of their pregnancies, but it's starting to get really freaking annoying and my stress levels are through the roof. I just wish I could have a normal pregnancy like so many others... I keep thinking "Why did I have to be the lucky one to deal with this stress and worry twice?". I don't generally like to think that way, there are others much less fortunate then myself, but it's hard... especially when you're tired and have been stressing far too much for far too long.

Ah well, lets see what another day brings. Tomorrow is the last day I get to rest before I'm back to my 8 hour clinical rotations... I don't know what I'm going to do.

When I ordered from the site it only took about 2 or 3 days for it to get to me, but I live in the states where they are located. I wouldnt think it would take much longer to get to Canada.

Hopefully not... I'm sure they'll be here by the middle of the week. So we'll see what happens when they get here. My appointment is on Tuesday, but it'd be nice to see my hcg continue to rise after that too.

Mail-one week from tonight the walkers will be back! I am sure they will have a marathon all day Sunday leading up to the new episode.
