So relieved for you Lucy, I agree with the others, 6 weeks is a good time to scan. You can relax now and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
 
Thanks girls I think I will ring the epu and see if I can get booked in for a 6 week scan and hopefully the dr's will do blood again on monday when I see them. Going to try and not worry to much.

I'm exhuasted so off to bed had been trying to wait up for steve but dont think they will be back untill about 1ish just hope they can get the car out of the car park and get home safe. Mum's staying up felt bad leaving her on her own downstairs but she said I need to try and sleep and if not then at least rest.
 
Sleep/rest well, Lucy! I'm so proud of you and your little bub! I can't wait for your scan, honey! :hugs:

I can't keep my eyes open today... I assume that's good, at least under these circumstances.
 
Good evening everybody! I had a great time with cousins, and now I'm home and bored. It's amazing how much I rely on Alex for company and notice his absence.

Oh, Lucy, that's wonderful news! :yipee: They have more than doubled, right on schedule!! I agree with the girls and would go in for a 6 week 'reassurance' scan, even if it's too early to hear the heartbeat. Congratulations. :hugs: I hope you're getting some rest.

Thanks for the reassurance, Megg and Hearty. I feel like I'm out, and also out of things to 'try' if you know what I mean. I mean, charting, soy, b-vits, normal ovulation, doctor approved lining, sex in the morning, sex in the evening, preseed, grapefruit juice, progesterone cream, no hot baths or sex in the 2ww....I mean, what else is left? If it doesn't work under the all of those enabling circumstances, when will it ever work? I'm feeling the impending due date blues. And the evap blues. And the TTC fatigue blues. How does anyone ever get pregnant? That's my mentality at the moment.
 
:hugs: Allie! I am hoping your evap is actually the real thing. I understand your frustrations. It's not fair when all you want is to be pregnant! :hugs:
 
Thanks Mel. :hugs: I actually am starting to feel worse than with my miscarriage. Because right after the miscarriage I was thinking since I got pregnant on the first cycle not preventing, that it would probably be 3 cycles, at most. Now I'm nearing cycle 7. Aargh. How naive.
 
Allie, I'll join you in those blues. It truly amazes me that the human race is as abundant as it is. It just seems so damn hard to get pregnant and have a baby. I'm sorry babes. I wish there was something to erase the blues.

So, no dancing for me. My stomach hasn't been feeling well all day. Not sure if it was the alcohol last night. I had a few drinks but didn't have any of my normal hangover issues like a headache and tiredness. And my stomach never feels like this. So I'm also wondering if it is the Femara. I think I read that the side effects happen after you stop taking the meds. I had a massive headache yesterday which can also be a side effect. Anyway, Tim and I decided to skip it. It's raining and we're just snuggling and are going to order Thai. Oh well. We'll dance another night. I want to feel in top form to go dancing.
 
Thanks, Hearty. :hugs: I wish you didn't have to know how I felt, though. I wish none of us did. Maybe I'll wander over to teen pregnancy to torture myself. :haha:

Your evening sounds lovely, even without the dancing. I'm on the couch snuggling with myself. Have I mentioned I'm alone yet? :haha: I'm so pathetic lol. Sorry about your stomach and headache! I hope you feel better very, very soon. :hugs:
 
Allie, I am alone too....just making myself a big bowl of popcorn and going back to curling up on the couch, watching christmas shows.
 
I actually had some popcorn (and chocolate and pasta) as well. :) I haven't found any Christmas shows to watch, however! I hope you're having a nice evening.
 
mmmm, chocolate....maybe I should get into the after eights?! I'm actually getting pretty bored, so I might call it a night soon and just go to bed!
 
Ooh, I love After Eights!!!

I'm really pissed off at my body right now. I just had brown spotting. I'm only 11dpo!!! Last cycle I didn't get until 13 or 14 dpo, the day before AF, and that's with a low progesterone test. This cycle I've had higher temps and am taking the cream! I feel like with all of this stuff I'm taking maybe I'm just making things worse? Could the cream actually make me spot and shorten my luteal phase?
 
Progesterone can cause spotting, but it can't shorten a luteal phase. That's just not possible. I could be IB... 11dpo isn't too late, honey! Just saying!

Sounds like everyone was smart to stay in tonight. We went out to dinner, because we didn't have anything here I wanted to eat. In fact, I couldn't think of anything in the world that sounded good. I wanted a Crispy Orange Chicken Bowl @ Applebee's... and then about 30 min before we were going to leave, I started to feel AWFUL. I just felt sort of "off" and nothing sounded good anymore. The thought of anything fried turned my stomach. I felt like it was freezing in my house, even though I'm always burning up. But, I was running a very normal temp... not even elevated like its been. I don't know what happened. And, I still don't feel quite right... Not nauseous exactly... but sort of an uneasy tummy... and terrible gas pains that don't seem to want to come out at all. Also, cramping ALL DAY. So, I don't know if any of its good or bad or indifferent... but its not fun. And, I'm exhausted still tonight... even after sleeping and napping!
 
It sounds really, really good, Megg!!! Seriously. I'm sorry you've joined Hearty with the unwell stomach but I'm also happy because your nausea, food aversion, exhaustion....it all sounds super promising.

Well, I guess I'll hope for IB but assume it's progesterone causing spotting. I just did a cervical position check (really high...not sure where it usually is before AF) to see if feel anything but I'm just like before AF. I'm so sick of the 2ww! I feel like it's been exhausting. How about you, Megg?
 
Soooooooo exhausting! This whole thing has done me in! Seriously!!! It sucks! I'm so tired of waiting. And, I still worry that my "symptoms" are in my head. However, I couldn't have been thinking of symptom spotting any less if I tried when the aversions hit tonight. And, it was sudden! I didn't like it at all! LOL

I just hope we both get our Xmas wish! Its our turn, dammit!
 
I hope you both do as well.

Allie dont give up look at me I was convinced AF was on its way and was all worried that I had a short lp this month turns out I was pregnant think I'm still in a bit of shock about that and really think having the knowledge that my womb is slightly tipped forward and rolling on my tummy might help well has helped me get pregnant it took nearly a year for me to get pregnant first time round then 4/5 months last time so to be pregnant first time is well I feel lucky just hope this one is a keeper. I am staying hopeful for you and keeping everything crossed.

Megg things are looking so good for you when do you go in for your bloods are you going to test before or wait? I'm keeping everything crossed for you too.

AFM: I am exhausted today just feel wiped out, steve has gone home as he has to work next week but will be back for christmas been a bit hormonal so got really upset when he left and made him promise me he would be back for chirstmas bless him said he will be back no matter what.

Thank you for all your support love you girls xx
 
Morning ladies. Pretty quiet here this morning. It is dark and rainy here today. Feels like another snuggle day to me. I feel fine today. I think I must have had a slight hangover yesterday. Nato and me, the Christmas party queens.

Allie, the brown spotting is curious. Like Megg said, it could be IB or extra progesterone. You temp went down, but not under the coverline. And it cold also go up again tomorrow. Have you tested? I hope you wait. If it was IB yesterday, you might not have enough hcg to register on a FRER yet.

Megg, wow to last nights aversion! Wow, wow, wow! I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic for you. I want to hold the space for any possibility and not put pressure on you. That being said, that sounds like a huge symptom to me. Just sayin.

Mel and Allie, sorry you were both lonely last night. If I had felt better I would have stayed up and chatted.

Lucy, being tired is a good sign. Rest up lady, you have a baby growing!

I'll know on the 22nd. I'm holding out until then. Thank you!

I'm glad Steve will be back for Christmas! I wish he could just stay with you all the time! :hugs:

I don't think the aversion has lasted through today. It was like it came and went. But, my chart looks extra pretty right now... So, I'm not going to nitpick! LOL

It does seem like a good snuggle day. I don't think we're going to be leaving the house much, if at all today!

yeah me to stupid work but he's self employed so he has to work when he has it especially as I only work occasionaly so dont bring much money into the house at the moment. He got home safely so thats good and he should be coming back on thursday morning so he wont be away from me for to long thank goodness.

Hearty a snuggle day sounds like a good idea to me glad you feel better today.
 
Lucy, I hope you get loads of nice rest today. It's amazing how much that knowledge of your uterus helped you conceive! I was told mine is slightly tipped as well, but I don't know which way. Come to think of it, though, the month we conceived before I think it was from doing it 'from behind'! I think I'll try some new positions next month; thanks for the tip. How are you feeling today other than tired? You have a growing bean in there. :) :hugs:

Hearty, does it rain all winter up there in the Bay area? When I was in SF in January it rained all 10 days. I thought maybe it was an anomaly. It was also windy if I remember correctly. Anyways, glad you are feeling better. I DID test today, and it was BFN. I still have some brown spotting. Do you get any spotting with the progesterone cream? It's really bizzare for me as it doesn't correlate with my normal luteal phase length. I feel like AF is on her way, though. I have that heavy feeling in my uterus that usually precedes the :witch:. I just hope she holds out until Tuesday as that's the earliest she's due.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Sunday! I can't get my satellite TV to work so I think it's a sign I should do something with my day, ha! After church I think I'm going to do some more Christmas shopping and address all of your cards! :)
