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

[bobster]

Seren's a nice name Phez. I don't know a lot about temps but is the fact its staying above coverline a good sign? Does it normally drop below coverline before af?

 

[bobster]

Are you feeling any better now Jane? Do you plan to do another test or just wait it out?

When do you get your blood results?

 

[GI_Jane]

I'm sure he is bothered bobster. You know men dont always express themselves and can be more laid back about things.

12 hours on your feet is a long shift. I hope it gave you a distraction for a bit? I can imagine you are very aware of every twinge.

I did test again this morning and was bfn but still no AF. On day 50 now! I have a feeling AF is on its way though. Feeling a bit happier thanks but I know I'm out this cycle.

I'm guessing bloods will take a week, they're normally pretty good at sending a letter with their interpretation of the results.

How you doing mlm and mrs phez?

 

[mackjess]

Sounds about the same as my DH when I worried non-stop. He seemed annoyed and kept saying "EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE" in an irritated tone. Then after an appt and everything was OK he would be like, see, I told you everything was OK. I swear I just wanted to slap him because he happened to be right, but it was luck and he was clueless about all the emotions and fear I had! So maybe ignorance is bliss? Try not to worry dear, I felt a lot of twinges and cramps. Especially early on.

 

[MrsPhez]

Bobster, I felt lots of early cramps with Dexter, kept a diary which clearly states "bad cramping"! Sign of a growing uterus!
Temp will go down significantly on CD1, prob below cover.
Today I'm a bit of an emotional wreck, either because I woke up 3 times in the night to my hubby snoring and am absolutely shattered (son has impetigo and off nursery as well), or I've got PMS. It's not cos of the BFN, I expected that result. Or there is the third possibility that I'm pregnant. Doubtful
So I'm having an early night and seeing what tomorrow brings, hoping it's not going to be a 9 day LP mainly!
Hang in there Bobster, so far so good. Your husband sounds like mine, no real acknowlegment till 12 weeks for me. Refusing any baby conversation. That's men for you!
Sorry to hear of your long cycle again Jane, it is so hard.

 

[bobster]

Oh thank you all. Feel better for knowing you've had cramps and things have been ok . I'm just so nervous about it and then worry that stressing will be bad for it and blah blah blah its a never ending worry! It is very reassuring though to hear your experiences with cramps so thank you.

MrsPhez sorry you are glum. I think feeling blue can be a sign of both pregnancy and af so its difficult to know. Oh such a horrible waiting game. Are you having any other symptoms? Maybe your mood is just down to being tired. I wonder if restless sleep is a sign as I woke up a lot in the night during the 2ww (never usually do). Do you plan to test again tomorrow or leave it a few days?

I'm glad its not just my man who doesn't want to even mention pregnancy and dismisses what I worry about. If only they knew that we actually just want them to listen to us not to talk themselves!

Jane i'm glad your doctor is good about getting results posted out to you. Lets hope they figure out the cause of the long cycles. You and MrsPhez are still super early so you never know, you're not out yet. I think sometimes you do just know deep down though when its not your month. At least if its not this month then you will have some input from your doctor soon and they'll be able to do the bloods on the right days of your cycle too which will help i'm sure.

Thanks for the support ladies as always

 

[MrsPhez]

Had a great nights seep, albeit in the spare room! Asleep by 10pm so feeling a lot more refreshed.
Test this morning BFN, as bright white as you can imagine. Hey ho....
My temp is hanging on in there by hovering above coverline today. What I would hope for is it to spike up, which could mean implantation has occurred, but could also mean it hasn't, why don't they make it simple?! Non-pregnant charts can also show this temp spike so doesnt mean a lot. But as long as it doesn't go down again and LP will hold on a couple more days I'll be happy.
Glad you're feeling better as well today Bobster, is today the day when AF is due? Try not to worry, deep breathing exercises may be required!

 

[GI_Jane]

What dpo are you now mrs phez, 9?

No change here for me.

Mlm have you stocked up on the pre seed? I found it ran down quite quickly if you fill one of the syringe things full every time.

 

[mlm115]

Just bought pre seed and smiley face opks! I'm justifying the fact that I haven't gotten my bfp yet because my hormone levels weren't down until last cycle, so I'm feeling more positive.

Yup, 9 DPO!

Oh I totally forgot about that Mlm. Just think, you might ovulate on valentines day- that would be romantic

 

[mlm115]

I might, we will see!

Any signs of af (or bfp) today Jane?

 

[MrsPhez]

10 DPO, another BFN. 11 DPO is my pregnancy day from previous exp. but still not feeling it. LP got to double figures though which is good.

 

[GI_Jane]

That's great news about your lp Mrs phez.

No af yet and not tested for a couple of days. Feeling really bloated but that could be because of the fish and chips I had last night!

How are you doing bobster?

 

[MrsPhez]

OK ladies, I'm signing off for a couple of days. If last month is anything to go by AF will be here at some point tonight unless B6 has kicked in or I'm preggers. We're off to my parents to drop Dexter off while we go to the wedding where I will be in limbo wondering whether I could have a drink or not. I guess if AF doesnt appear, the answer to that is no. Bit of a cliffhanger, I will be testing and if I do get a BFP I will def let you know! Otherwise I'll update Sun eve. Have a great weekend ladies, keep up the deep breathing Bobster!!

 

[GI_Jane]

Have a good weekend mrs phez....hope you find out soon either way!

 

[MrsPhez]

Have a good weekend mrs phez....hope you find out soon either way!

Thanks! I did have an awesome weekend. My temp dropped on Sat mrning so I knew it was game over. Therefore numerous drinks were consumed at the Westminster Abbey wedding (gorgeous cinnamon bellini) plus wine wine wine...
AF came in the early hours of this morning. LP got to 11 days this month so happy about that. Feeling positive, looking forward to trying again this month in a more relaxed way. Hope you're all doing well, esp you Bobster! Please all of you update this thread when you get any exciting news (BFPs, scans, NEW ARRIVALS!!!)

 

[bobster]

Hi everyone sorry i've been quiet. Been away for a few days (to London) to catch up with some old friends and found it difficult to keep uptodate on my phone as its such a pain to type on.

Sorry the witch got you MrsPhez but thats ace that your lp has extended. Its a great improvement from 9 days and you can maintain a pregnancy next time if its stays or hopefully gets longer from next cycle. Its so strange how mc can make your lp shorter as I had a 9 day one too straight after my first cp.. Just remember another af means you're one month closer to your beautiful bfp.

How are you Jane? Did your af come in the end or are you still waiting? Have you tested again?

Mlm- You must be in the run up soon for ovulation with your enviable short cycles? Are you still planning SMEP and preseed this cycle? I wasn't ever sure about preseed, I thought it was just for women who didn't get much ewcm.. I guess its useful though when you don't have much ewcm.

AFM- I'm doing ok I guess... stopped running to the loo to check my knickers as much as before but am still a wee bit crazy. Everytime I cramp thats when the fear strikes more and I run off to the loo. I'm 4+5 today. Been testing like a crazy fool every 2 days. Worried a bit about the progression of the tests as the 13dpo one looked the same as the 15dpo in darkness however they're the last frer's I used. I'm testing on superdrug ones now which are a lot cheaper and have shown a bit of progression and work ones too. I plan to do the other digi on wednesday when I'm 5 weeks so I'm hoping to god it says 2-3 rather than 1-2 which is what it said in the 5th week when I had the first miscarriage. Bah its a worrying time.

 

[bobster]

MrsPhez and Mackjess, do you think its too late to start those b vits you were talking about? I picked up some vitb complex and b6 but unsure if I should take them. Also mackjess, when did you ms start? I'm not feeling sick at all and really don't have many symptoms at all... boobs are a bit sore but not crazy sore like some women say. I feel I should be feeling more pregnant by now..

 

[mackjess]

bobster, I never had ms enough to actually throwup, so maybe I may not be the best person here. I did getqqueasy feelings starting at 6 weeks and that is when I started the b vitamins for nausea, so maybe they worked really well for me?

try not to stress too much. I had very few preg symptoms and it was maddening. I still barely do, but I bought a doppler at 14 weeks and use that whenever I need reassurance.

phez, congrats on the longer lp. sounds like you had a great weekend and those drinks sounded delicious! hopefullyyou, jane and mlm are in for bfps soon.

afm, had a terrible fever all weekend which has now progressed into a lovely cold. I'm watching the Gramm awards which I taped last night at 6 in the morning with tissue crammed in my runny nose because I've given up on wiping it. My poor sore nose! I don't feel bad anymore, just more of a nuisance but I'm definitely staying home from work.
