It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[bobster]

Thanks both for your kind replies.

I think you are right in that perhaps it might help to talk these thoughts and feelings through with someone objective. I find it hard talking about things sometimes and showing my emotions. I think I got upset because she was giving me sympathy as I can talk about it with other people without crying. It was mortifying when I look back and I'm cringing somewhat now but I must say I do feel a bit better getting stuff off my chest even though it was with my boss oops

Oh Jane that sounds promising. Maybe you will still get stretchy stuff tomorrow, but I think watery cm is still fertile so thats good! When do you plan to test? Are you going to wait until the 6th if you think you o'd yesterday or will you be testing earlier? I'm glad I am not the only one to stare at my calender so much!!!

How are you doing mlm? Any signs yet? Have you had a positive opk? Still doing smep? I am still bleeding- day 9 now and still quite heavy and bright red. Usually it tails off by cd 5. I just figure its longer as my lining must have really built up missing a period. I hope I still ovulate as planned though. Will try to bd as much as possible if the bleeding ever ceases!

Come on xmas bfp's! I have high hopes for this tread

As far as I know I haven't ovulated. All negatives on the digital opks. If my cycle is normal, I should ovulate at some point this weekend. I usually get one big amount of ewcm right before, which I haven't had yet. I really hope it happens soon though!

Omg, that is so funny about the calendar. That is exactly what I do! I just stare and think, if I get pregnant this month, this is when my due date will be and I need to get pregnant before this date to have a baby by the end of the year, etc etc.

 

[mlm115]

Also, I started drinking grapefruit juice a few days ago to try and get more fertile cm, I think it may be working as I seem to have a bit more watery cm.

 

[mackjess]

Oh mlm and jane, I hope you are OV soon and this is your weekend! FX for everybody!!

 

[GI_Jane]

I think I'm officially in the two week wait now. CM has remained pretty dried up since Friday so I'm taking Thursday as my o day. Which was 2 days earlier then predicted from pre loss cycles so quite happy with that
We did bd this morning (saturday) just in case my cm is playing tricks on me

I started my baby aspirin today too.

As you know I'm really bad for early testing, but will try and hold out to at least next Saturday 1st dec as that will put me at 9dpo. With my one and only bfp I had strong lines and a positive digital at 8dpo which only fuels my desire to test early! Will of course keep you posted.

DH did say to me this morning that it will happen the month we are not really trying (which isn't this month!) so I am preparing for the worst (just my own defence mechanism)

Hope you get to o soon Mlm.....And that your af eases up soon bobster, it can get frustrating after a while can't it- not to mention the cost of sanitary products!

Have a good weekend all.x

 

[mlm115]

Wow Jane, I didn't get a faint positive til 11dpo and I thought that was good! Good luck holding out on testing, I'm horrible at that

I am on cd15 and still no ewcm and no positive opk. boo.

 

[mackjess]

Bobster, sorry to be just now replying. I saw your post a few days ago about your work but it's just been crazy with the holidays.

I myself have been terrible about concentrating since the m/c and TTC. Honestly, I think I've been worse since the BFP. I'm just so worried about everything. Also, it's totally jacked with my sleep so I'm tired all day. I know I've been behind on work stuff, and my boss will probably mention it to me next week when I turn in one of my projects a bit late. And that is totally the opposite of me. I've finally started getting back on track last week, just a little too late to get this done on time. I take mental breaks thru the day, even if it's just to run to the bathroom. We have a chair and couch lounge area so I will take a few minutes to sit there. I don't know what type of work you do, but I also set up things to where "I will finish tasks A, B, and C before I read or think anything about pregnancy". So by telling myself I can't look at or text or think anything about it until I get done with something, and allowing myself time to think about it, because I'd be kidding myself to say I was going to not think about it, seems to be less distracting. Hope that helps.

 

[bobster]

Thank you Mack, you are right and thats a really good way of handling the obsessions by making sure you have other stuff done before you allow any other thoughts. I will try to take your advice at work.

Jane how exciting that you're now in the 2ww!!! I got my faint bfp 11dpo too so thats great you got yours so early but they do say every pregnancy is different so testing at 9dpo is still superrr early. I am so excited for you... hope you are next.

Everyone says that it will happen when you stop trying so hard to me too but its impossible isn't it! I know we'll all be trying hard this cycle so lets hope they are wrong!

Mlm- you're ovulation may be a little bit out this month which is normal i'm sure. Keep testing and bd'ing though. did you say you were doing smiley face opk's? They do get expensive don't they but they do work, both times I used them I got bfp so will be buying some more this month!

Wish I wasn't so far behind you girls.. I'm cd 11 today should ovulate cd 20. Does anyone know if its possible to ovulate while still bleeding? Hope not as don't want to miss it...

Keep us posted! x

 

[mlm115]

I am using the clear blue digital opks (they say yes or no on them). I only have enough left for today and tomorrow, so hopefully it happens soon! Otherwise I will just buy the cheaper ones. Normally I can tell when I'm going to ovulate because of ewcm but I have just had really watery cm the last 2 days. Although I feel crampy like it may be coming.

I'm not sure about ov'ing while still bleeding. I was trying to find info online and not getting much luck, sorry!

 

[mlm115]

Ok, so I have been feeling a little crampy and have had a few strange twinges in my uterus and side that I got when I was pregnant before, so my mind started going to the "I may be pregnant" zone. I bought an hpt and just took it, and I swear there is a faint line there. So either:
1. I am crazy and there is no line
2. I actually ovulated right when or immediately after I bled with af and this really is a positive?
3. I have some left over hcg in my system from my miscarraige (is that still possible?)

I have a follow up appointment with my doctor tomorrow anyway, so I guess I will find out soon.

 

[mackjess]

MLM!!! Upload a pic!!!

 

[mlm115]

It looks so light or nonexistent in this pic, I feel crazy now

 

[mackjess]

Well if you're crazy then we both are because I see a line! When do you go to the doc to get it confirmed?

I also see the pooch has a new pic. Very cute.

 

[mlm115]

Ok I'm confused. I just got a Yes+ on my opk. Maybe that is what caused the faint line on the hpt? I am going to the doc tomorrow at 11 so will ask then.

I had to update with a holiday pic of the pup, haha.

 

[mackjess]

Well the line on the OPK can be caused by the HCG hormone. But there is one difference between LH and HCG that makes the ovulation hormone NOT show on a pregnancy test! I'm getting excited for you.

 

[GI_Jane]

Hey,

Exciting stuff, i see a line too! It looks like it has colour to it so it can't be an evap. It also can't be left over hcg from before the mc otherwise you wouldn't of had af...(I'm pretty sure that's how it works, right?)

Are you hoping your doc will do bloods?

Loving the new dog pic.

Bobster, I don't think you can bleed and ovulate at the same time- during af progesterone stays low but during ovulation progesterone is higher after the LH surge so I think it's one or the other....but I could be wrong but that is how I understand it to be.

Ah this weekend has gone too fast- really don't want to go to work tomorrow

 

[mlm115]

I think I will test tomorrow in the morning with fmu and see what happens. Since I got the pos opk today I will just bd like I normally would.

I'm with you Jane, Mondays seem to come wayyyy too quickly!

 

[bobster]

Omg mlm I hope it is your bfp! Put a pic up!! Good luck x

 

[bobster]

Oops sorry I'm on my phone. I can see it too! How exciting! Post an update tomorrow i'll be waiting on tenter hooks!!!
