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

[mlm115]

Not that it really matters anymore, but at over 10 weeks post d & c my hcg is now at 6. So crazy. It only dropped from 8 to 6 in the last week!

 

[Mallerm]

Hi Ladies, I have been stalking this thread for a while now and I would love to join in. I had a missed miscarriage at 6.5 weeks (I should have been 8 weeks) at the end of October. Had a D&C and I had a very short and strange af 4 weeks later. I'm now waiting for my second post D&C af, but also hoping it won't come and I will be pregnant again. Reading this thread has helped me a lot and I am finally ready to join in, if you'll have me.

 

[mlm115]

Mallerm, of course you can join! You have cute dogs as your profile pic, can't say no to that! How many dpo are you?

 

[Mallerm]

I'm 13 dpo, but I think I'm feel af coming on. Your dog is super cute, btw!

Welcome to nikki and Mallerm, of course you can join, plenty of room here

It's so frustrating all the waiting we are all doing isn't it?

Nikki and Mallerm, did your af's appear?

Mlm did you get a positive opk yet?

Bobster, any more 2ww symptoms?

No change here, still on af and with a 51 day cycle probably won't start using the opk's until about day 23 so I've a long time to wait! In the meantime desperately trying to finish painting the bathroom before the visitors at Christmas!

Mrs phez, tell us about your son, how old is he? when you got your bfp with him had you been trying a while, had you had any loss's prior to conceiving him? Does he understand what Christmas is? Is he excited about Santa?

 

[mlm115]

I think I may have ovulated Thursday, not really sure though. Should have gotten the digi opks so I wouldn't be guessing! Have had spotting since Thursday, which is strange for me. I guess I will just keep bd'ing for a while to make sure I cover my bases.

Jane, I absolutely HATE painting! I tried to paint a small bathroom red and it turned out horribly. Had to hire a painter to fix it! Good luck, I'm sure you will do a much better job than me!

So happy and excited for Christmas, woo hoo! I'll probably put on a few pounds with all the food I plan to eat : )

 

[GI_Jane]

Mlm, sounds like you've got ovulation spotting, I've had that for the odd cycle a couple of times over the years. When I've looked it up previously it's supposedly a very good sign that you ovulated. So you are in the 2ww now with bobster

Painting all done and thankfully looks good, have to wait 24 hours before we can have a steamy bath or shower and oh god I feel nasty while I wait to have one! How come yours turned out bad? I don't mind painting but I hate the preparation and cleaning up after!

So if I don't manage to get on the next couple of days, have a happy holiday ladies....may the excessive eating and drinking begin! oh and apparently lots of babies are born in September thanks to all the over the Christmas and new year period!

Dexter is 2 next month. He was our first real attempt at making a baby and I had pcos at the time (no sign of pcos on scan 2 weeks ago) so not trying long. Christmas to him is musical, colourful, sparkly lights, family, and trying to pull all the decorations off the tree! Santa is a mystery at the moment!
Am CD6 today, AF finished yesterday so in the run-up to the big O. Who knows how long it will take though, I'm guessing a couple of weeks....lots of New Year bding coming up!!!!
Been a bit rubbish about keeping up with you all this week but want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a bfp filled 2013!

 

[nikkie122]

Still no AF. I did have some spotting yesterday but that was it. Still waiting.

AF showed up right on schedule on the 22nd. I freaked out a little because even though I knew it was coming, I still was hoping I would be pregnant. Its so annoying waiting and then being disappointed.

 

[bobster]

So sorry for not checking in with you ladies. Been super busy. Have tried to keep tabs on this thread on my phone but its ever so hard to reply on there.

I'm ok. I think I'm either 7 or 8dpo today. Did a test just because I had them lying around and bfn. I'm not expecting a bfp at all as we hardly bd'd but still have a glimmer of hope that it might happen. If not though I will look forward to trying in January when I have more time to think. My friend bought a clearblue fertility monitor so we'll see if she has any luck with it and if she does I might borrow it from her or buy a cheap one from ebay.

Jane although it sucks that you got af, at least you're not in the dreaded 2ww in the run up to Christmas and New Year. Its rubbish as I know when af comes on new years eve I will be sad. You can relax now until cd 23 of course! Is that when you plan to start opk's? I think you are wise to leave them until a bit later as I was getting frustrated seeing negatives for so long and wasted a lot of them. Think I have 5 left for January.

I've had some cramps (mainly in the mornings) and twinges and my boobs are a bit sore but this is normal pre af stuff for me.

MLM thats exciting that you ovulated! Did you confirm with opk? Hope you've been more successful with bd'ing than me!

Welcome new ladies to the thread! Will try to stay more up-to-date with this thread after Christmas.

Wishing you all a FANTASTIC time this Christmas (and lots of lovely gifts of course hehe)
P.S. 2013 WILL BE OUR YEAR FOR THAT LONG AWAITED BFP!!!!!!!

 

[mlm115]

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all enjoy the holiday!

I think I am 4 dpo- will have bloods drawn on Thursday so will find out Friday if I'm out this month or not.

 

[bobster]

Good luck mlm. X

 

[mackjess]

Good luck ladies. merry Christmas

 

[nikkie122]

Well AF finally started. So finally on a new cycle. Going to stay positive and hope it happens this month!

 

[GI_Jane]

Hey ladies, hope you all had a lovely Christmas day yesterday with family and friends.

Good luck for Thursday Mlm, assuming you'll get your results on Friday? I will keep a look out for an update from you. At least you won't be wasting money on home pregnancy tests this month.

Bobster, sorry you think you are out. 7 or 8 dpo is still early. Think you said in the past you've got a light bfp at 11dpo so until she flows you're still in. I know the disappoinment of a bfn is hard though

Nikki and Mallerm sorry that af came the disappointment does suck but if you have been waiting a while for her to come its also a nice feeling to start afresh.

Im on cd8 and af recently finished. Yes bobster, I will start using opk's from about day 23, even from before when I had a shorter cycle at 40 days I would ovulate at day 27 so this way I figured by starting at day 23 I will catch it if I do o early but also if I o late...only have 20 opk's so trying to figure out the best possible way to cover all the days I think I might be in with a chance.

Mrs phez, your post gives me some hope that with PCO I could still get pregnant and carry a baby to term thank you.

Mackjess, think you said you have a check up on 27th dec which is tomorrow so good luck- you must be nearing 12 weeks, how are you feeling?

And I like your positivity bobster that 2013 will be our year for BFPs

 

[mackjess]

My appt is tomorrow. I think I will be getting referred to a genetic counselor for further testing since I'm 35. those screenings should include a scan at 11-13 weeks, and if not I'll be paying for one some time around 12 weeks to make sure the bean is still good.

I made it to 10 weeks yesterday. that was a good Xmas present. other than larger and sore bbs, I still don't feel pregnant. Not that I'm detached from my baby, it's just hard to believe still, and sad because I should have found out the sex of my angel a few weeks ago. It's been a rough year, and I'm very much looking forward to 2013 and all of your Bfps.

 

[bobster]

Hope you had a lovely xmas too jane. I had a good one- stuffed myself silly though so time for diet now. So you are officially in the waiting game again (lucky you!!). So you'll be using your opks about 9th Jan? I'll be due to ovulate on the 20th so I won't be too far behind you and we can wait together.

hugs to you mackjess. Its sad when you think of milestones to your loss. I'm thinking about mine in Feb (due date) and already i'm dreading it. Its great you have this new beanie to focus on. Its funny how a lot of people don't feel pregnant. I think its more normal than you think and each pregnancy can be so different.

Did you all get some nice presents? I got a lovely Pandora bracelet off OH and some other lovely gifts.

AFM- I think i'm 9dpo today but can't be too sure. I tested today and another bfn so I just want her to come now so I can get on with next cycle. Symptoms have been mild cramps on and off since ovulation, sensitive nipps moving into boobs today, nausea (prob from all the cheese) and ovary twinges on left side. May wait to test now until 11dpo and if its bfn then I'll know for sure.

 

[mlm115]

9 dpo is still early Bobster, you're not out yet!

Afm, I thought I had ov'ed on Thursday and am now 6 dpo. Since I had light spotting thurs-sat I thought it meant I must have ov'ed then. However, I had ewcm today so took my last opk - POSITIVE! Crap. That means I haven't bd'd at all when I was supposed to. We bd'd today and will for the next 2 days I suppose. I guess what I thought might have been super early pg symptoms were actually ov symptoms.

 

[GI_Jane]

Congrats on 10 weeks mackjess and I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow any side effects from the progesterone?

Hey bobster, was your oh pleased with his iPad? Pandora bracelet sounds lovely. DH bought me a lovely dark red silk lacy short nightie

I'm feeling stuffed as well, too much eating and drinking and feeling really lethargic. Will start cutting out the simple sugars from the 1st jan! Sigh.

Will start the opk's on 9th Jan (which conincidently is also my first reflexology appointment), pleased we can wait together in jan if you don't get your BFP this cycle .

Waiting waiting
