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

[bobster]

Yipeeeee!!!!

 

[mlm115]

WOOO HOOO!!!! thats great bobster!!! Guess we know what you will be up to the next couple of days.

 

[mlm115]

Mack, glad you finally went to the doctor, you must feel really crappy with the sickness on top of pregnancy symptoms. Also, that is exciting that you got to share your news with some people. Hopefully you start feeling more confident in this pregnancy. Maybe after your next scan? Your worries are definitely understandable though.

 

[bobster]

Thanks mlm - I just jumped OH. Think he was a bit confused by my sudden desire to bd as he tried it on earlier and I wasn't interested lol! If only they knew.

Mackjess I'm glad they found out whats making you feel so rotten and hopefully these antibiotics will help you feel much better quickly. I can completely understand how you must worry too until the baby arrives. I think we'll probably all be the same. When is your next scan? 12 weeks?

Jane are you still waiting for af? any signs of her yet? Sorry you are feeling rubbish too. Lets hope she comes before Christmas. Are you going to do opk's next cycle or wait a few months? I know its different for everyone but I feel so relieved to know where I am now so maybe they will help you too.

When I was pg the first time I told everyone I was so excited. That's going to be completely different this time - just me and OH and probably my parents until 12 weeks! Strictly no one else (apart from you lovely ladies of course).

Yipeeeee!!!! View attachment 533787

Go for it Bobster! Good luck!

 

[MrsPhez]

Oh that's sad. As you said before, was risky of her to announce it so early to the general public.

I only told my mum, dad and sister but then it seemed wrong for DH's parents not to know so we told them too but when we had the loss just a couple of weeks later I felt an idiot for having told the in laws- they weren't very sympathetic and quite matter of fact about it (not what i needed!). If I get my BFP again I think we'll just keep it to ourselves for a bit longer.

Bobster this no ovulation thing is really frustrating as you know. Must be confusing for our bodies with the hormone changes. Will you keep using the opk's the rest of the cycle or have you given up on them? This is partly why I don't want to waste the ones I've bought until I know things a bit more normal but then the opk's can help you tell if things are more normal so it's a chicken and egg situation!

Still no af for me and think it will come at 8 weeks again, which will be Christmas week- great! I'm hoping it will sort itself out and that the reflexology will help....at this rate I think a valentines BFP will be out of my grasp.....maybe an Easter egg will give me a BFP

How are you doing Mlm and Mrs Phez?

How is the Carpel Tunnel mackjess?

I'm good thanks Jane. Waiting for Christmas AF(7 days since ov, first AF since mc), oh joy! Enjoying not having to wee on a stick every day!

 

[GI_Jane]

That's great bobster. Must be a relief to know you will o albeit a bit later. No change here, still waiting for AF. Will use the smiley face opks from next cycle (if I ever get there!)

 

[GI_Jane]

Smiley face opk's and pre-seed finally arrived today- expiry date isn't until 2014 so I have plenty of time to use them!

I also decided to book a GP appointment since I will be on annual leave and won't be able to take any more holiday until at least march next year. Having one period in the last 3 and a half months is just not right. So that is on Friday 21st.

Think I might do an Internet cheapie HPT in the morning. It must be at least a week since I've tested- I know will be a BFN but don't want to look like an idiot when I get to the doctors for her to turn round and say I'm pregnant lol (I can hope right?).

Have you bd like a mad woman bobster and you too Mlm- you said you should o over the weekend, are you using opk's too this cycle?

 

[mlm115]

Do you have any pregnancy symptoms Jane? I agree that only one period in that time frame seems off. Hopefully you get some answers. Even better, hopefully you get a bfp!

You bd'ing today and tomorrow to catch that egg Bobster? So exciting!

Im using opks, but not the digital kind. No positive yet, but I don't expect one til the end of the week or this weekend.

No 'typical' pregnancy symptoms but then I didn't the first time around either. I know I am not pregnant but the advice from the GP on the wait for af before was to test once a week until it comes. I have Internet cheapies so to waste one is no big deal.

 

[MrsPhez]

AF has just arrived at a scarily early 8 days post o. I'm glad it's here but why so early? That m/c playing tricks on me no doubt. Anyway, back at CD1, hoping my cycle is normalish this time round and will now be peeing on sticks in the not too distant future, pregnancy sticks hopefully.....

 

[mlm115]

That is early mrs Phez. Probably your body just adjusting after your mc. Hopefully this cycle will be normal and you will be using those hpts soon!

 

[bobster]

Good luck for tomorrow Jane. I think its good to book a gp appointment. I felt a bit more at ease after mine and I'm the same as you 1 scarily long af in 3.5 months. At least we both know we are not alone. It is very annoying waiting for af isn't it.

Mrsphez, after my first mc my luteal phase was only 9 days and then the next cycle I ovulated at the right time and got pregnant again (second cp) so hopefully this cycle will straighten out for you. how long are your cycles again?

MLM- keep testing. its so exciting to get a positive isn't it! Are you doing smep?

AFM we bd'd last night but I have a feeling the first positive opk woulda been saturday but I didn't test then stupidly . We didn't bd then either but did on the friday so might have missed it grrrr! Will try to bd tonight. Feel like we'd not done it enough for some reason but on a positive note the gp did tell me to wait 2-3 cycles to start trying again so might not be a bad thing if it doesn't work this cycle. It will totally suck if it doesn't though as due af on new years eve!!!

 

[mackjess]

Phez, don't fret over it too much. I know we all want our cycles to be normal, but it won't prevent us from getting preggers if our body is ready. I OV about 4 days late my last cycle and totally thought I was out because of it, but I fell pregnant. A lady in another thread was upset because she thought she was having BFP symps, then her AF started 5 days early so she was very down. The very next cycle she DID get a BFP and is now 6 weeks along and had a good first scan.

So, while it is nice to have normal cycles to figure out when to BD, it shouldn't hamper you in your TTC journey. And I think a shorter one is better than a longer one, at least you get to start at CD1 now. GL to you!

 

[mlm115]

Bobster, it sounds like you have good odds if you bd'd Friday and Sunday, don't worry about it. I remember Mackjess saying they only did it a couple of times and look at her!

 

[bobster]

Thanks mlm. Really wanted to bd like crazy though after all the waiting. OH is in a sulk tonight so doesn't look like we'll be doing it tonight afterall I worry that it wasn't enough as stood up pretty quickly last night and felt the little blighters (sperms) come out. Hope one or two got up there though. Just feeling out already. Didn't really hav much ewcm at all either which is not like me. Usually have tonnes. Oh well another wait to see. Determined not to test early this cycle. What will be will be! Good luck for your bd'ing this week. Hope u catch your egg x

 

[mackjess]

bobster, it looks like you just got the smiley about 24 hours ago? I'd say you still have time to get one more BD in. You OV anywhere from 12-48 hours after the surge. So get to it lady!!

 

[bobster]

I've tried but he's not having it I'm counting myself out.

 

[GI_Jane]

Chin up bobster mate. It only takes once and as mlm said, look at mackjess timings and the state she is in now LOL.
If you are out this cycle, you still have made progress in that you ovulated and that's a very positive step forward since your loss.x

 

[bobster]

Thanks to all you lovely ladies. You're right Jane ovulation is a good start I guess! Just after all this waiting I wish my oh had a higher sex drive. He's wanted it all cycle apart from now which is frustrating to say the least. He has no idea though that I'm ovulating so its not his fault. Did u test Jane?
