FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[jmandrews]

I am confused to what date I should use. Based off my last period I am due feb 20 but based off ovulation I am due feb 25. Right now I am using the 25th. Should I just stick with the 25th until confirmed?

Take it from day of last af xx

 

[KatieSweet]

Yup, the first day of your last AF

Miss priss. Really hope it was just a fluke and your levels are good. I did a clear blue digi before and still only says 2-3. Not a good sign is it when said that last Thursday. Only glimmer I have is I caught around 21st May and am very early days as I did keep getting positive OPKs but thought might be cos early pregnancy. Praying I ovulated late as that does happen with me x

 

[misspriss]

I called the doctor and the receptionist was all "well, I don't know if you'd want to come in, we just use the same tests you get at the store" and I told her I wanted a blood test, and she sent me to the doctor's nurse, which of course I just got voicemail. I can't concentrate on work at all.

I keep reading online I might start bleeding any moment, or it could be weeks, so there is really no way to know. Part of me wants to test again, but I can't seem to hold my pee more than an hour. Last night was the first night I didn't have to get up to pee though, so this morning's urine should have been pretty good. Unless I got up in the wee hours of the morning and forgot and thought it was a different day, that has been known to happen...

That is terrible that she blew you off like that. It's such a terrible thing to go through. Don't they have any compassion?

Personally, I don't think she had any idea what to say. She didn't seem terribly rude, just that she didn't know what I wanted to do. She's just a receptionist, I never actually spoke with a nurse (yet) they still haven't called me back over an hour later!

Hoping for a maisie miracle for both of you! Hugs x

 

[savvysaver]

emy and misspriss...thinking of both of you and sending

Jmandrews, definitely go from the date of ovulation and NOT the date of your lmp. Your ovulation date, if known, will be much more accurate – going off of your lmp will only date you correctly if you have a regular 28 day cycle and 14 luteal phase, and not everyone has that.

Misspriss, I’m hoping for the best for you! I don’t think you have an ectopic pregnancy, though, because you’re not spotting. Also, in ectopics, HCG levels rise slowly – they don’t usually double, and they don’t go down. I worried about it myself since I had spotting and sharp pain off to one side, but my midwife told me that in ectopics the pain is constant and continues to get worse. Cysts are also common in early pregnancy, will cause occasional pain to one side, and will go away on their own.

 

[confuzion]

Emy - hoping it was just too early and you see a beautiful baby with a heartbeat at your next scan.

misspriss - I am incredibly sorry for what you are going through. March of this year, I had the same thing happen. Dark positive at 10 DPO, and the the tests got darker for a little while, but not by much, then at 17 DPO, the line disappeared (still no spotting or anything). The next day, I started bleeding. It felt like a normal period. Maybe a little more crampy the first day, and the bleeding lasted for 8 days (where my normal period is 6 days).

I agree that it doesn't sound like you have an ectopic.

 

[laura109]

i have no major symptoms but my god i get sickly hungry at least 4 times a day and i think i could sleep all day im shattered.

maybee it is cus im not working im doing a course from home and the min!!!

just thought id share how im feeling today!!! not had alot of cm today. other days i get loads. hmm

 

[misspriss]

Well, the doctor's nurse called me back and has me set up to come in for blood work this afternoon. No bleeding yet. We will see what the results are. If they are still viable, she may have me come in 48 hrs to see if doubling. I don't think at this point the numbers will be good, but it's out of my hands and the worst scenario could have already happened, so I will get the bloods done and not stress.

I have too much in my life otherwise going on, I basically got told at work they were going to have to lay off me or my coworker in November, and they decided to keep me and lay off my coworker. I totally respect they picked me, but I can't do it on my own and I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility again (they did that before they got my coworker), so after discussing with my husband, I have to go and tell them that I'll take the layoff in November and they can keep on with my coworker after that. Huge risk.

I really wish I could have my blood results today, but they won't be in until tomorrow. But either way, I am wanting to work towards working less and DH working more until I can be a SAHM. Sorry for the long ranty unrelated stuff, but they had to spring this on my TODAY of all days. How was your day? Oh fine, I just may be losing a baby as we speak....whats that? I need to decide now if I am going to be ready for more responsibility come the end of the year? Today? By 1pm? Thanks! That will be easy... (That is in 30 minutes...)

 

[confuzion]

I'm sorry everything is overwhelming for you right now . You need to do what's right for you re: work.

 

[misspriss]

Thanks confuzion, it's just...today? really? I am feeling hopeful about the blood test though...kind of. I'm not hungry like I have been, but that could just be nerves.

 

[bridgetboo62]

emy and misspriss
im so sorry for both of your scares
fingers crossed for both of you
sending good vibrations and positive energy your way

 

[confuzion]

I hope it's just a fluctuation because you're earlier than you think.

This time, I got my first BFP at 11 DPO afternoon with a cheapie and an Answer brand test. 12 DPO I took another test with FMU, cheapie had a line but Answer was negative. I thought for sure I was having another chemical and was heartbroken. But my tests started to darken after that.

FX for good news from your blood test and the work stuff works itself out.

 

[misspriss]

Thanks confuzion. Unfortunately, they were both tests out of boxes where I had BFPs from the same box several days ago...but who knows, maybe my pee was weird. Maybe I didn't dip long enough in my haste, or too long, or something...but anyway, bloods will tell.

Anyway, I went ahead and told my immediate supervisor what I am going through, he was totally cool, and I explained why I would be taking the layoff position, pregnant or not we plan to be pregnant again soon, so I don't want the stress.
