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

[MrsPhez]

Been shunned for Skyfall on Blu Ray. Brilliant. He thought later this week would be OK, not tonight (so close to telling him about SMEP). Grr. On that note I'm going to bed......alone! I'm shattered so prob for the best and at least I have no pos opk, that would be a different story.....night ladies

 

[bobster]

MrsPhez how frustrating are men! Can you wear some sexy undies tonight and make sure you dtd tonight? Maybe don't mention smep as it might put too much pressure on him... although it could go the other way and make him step up if he's tired again. They really have no idea do they!

Anyway there's still loads of chance this cycle as you've not got your positive opk yet so don't worry, you have time! Maybe crack open a bottle of wine or something to get him in the mood? Or surprise him when he gets home from work by being in sexy lingerie? Then I bet he can't say no!

 

[bobster]

P.s- sounds just like my man. I'm sure he'd prefer skyfall on blue ray over sex sometimes. Grrrr!

 

[mackjess]

Sorry Phez. I did eventually tell my DH about SMEP. We usually don't DTD much during the week as we both have stressful jobs, so it was the easiest way to get him on board. He totally surprised me by being totally into it, like he was sacrificing his body and if he died trying, well death by sex was the way to go. LOL. He was SOOO bummed when it worked the first month and he never got wore out from SMEP.

 

[MrsPhez]

That's hilarious Mackjess! Do you know, I dont think mine would bother that much if he knew about SMEP but I'm not risking it. He's playing badminton tonight but I'm sure he'll do the honours as he could snse my disappointment, although I was careful not to go on about it, that would be a complete turn off. Neg OPK today too, not even any kind of line. Scan tomorrow will be enlightening. Hope O holds off till Sunday as we have no plans this weekend ;-)! Glad you preggy ladies are doing well.

 

[bobster]

Keep us updated about the scan

 

[MrsPhez]

Will do Bobster. Managed to get some action last night and my OPK is a darker shade today so feeling good, although I know we dtd at the right times last month and nothing happened. Hope keeps us all going! How's mlm doing, fingers crossed for you

 

[bobster]

Oh glad you got some action last night. I would bd a few days after your positive too if you can. How was ultrasound?

Yes how's mlm? In the 2ww yet?

 

[MrsPhez]

Not got the best news. Apparently I'm not going o this month because I have a 5cm hemorragic cyst on the right and have been referred to gynaecology at the hospital. Am now on phone to gp to see if I can get some 21 day bloods done. At least I will have a clearer picture of what's going on. Weird ,they said most people with these are laid up on the ward in lots of pain and I cant feel a thing! So that's the story today. Not sure it's worth trying this month as they couldnt see a follicle due to the size of the cyst. Wonder what will happen to my temps now. I hate being a woman!

 

[bobster]

Life is shit isn't it. Sorry to hear your news.

I had a spot of watery pink in my discharge today when I was on the loo.

Why is life so hard!

 

[mackjess]

could you still ov from the other side? I'm glad you're not in any pain.

hang In there Bobster, I had spotting twice early on. once it was pink and the next time it was brown. be sure to keep drinking your water and take care of yourself.

 

[mackjess]

if anyone here had ever worried about or been told they had low progesterone check this out. I prefer to try things naturally rather than supplements all the time.

[bobster]

Thanks Mack, I know you had some spotting the day before your af was due, when did you have the second bit of spotting?

I've just gone right back to the beginning of this thread when you got your bfp and its nice to know you had the same worries about loss of symptoms and twinges etc and your boy is fine. You wrote that by 6 weeks you only have a 5% chance of mc so lets hope i'm in the 95%. 6+1 today. No cramping or any other problems just that one spot of watery pink discharge (sorry if tmi)

 

[mackjess]

I had the brown spotting at the end of wk 5. And I was a complete mess early on!

 

[mlm115]

That is garbage mrs Phez, sorry you have to deal with that. Since they couldn't see the follicle is it possible you could o and they just can't confirm it? Hope they take care of you quickly to get everything resolved.

Bobster the further that bean is sticking the better your odds - you've got this girl! A small amount of pinkish discharge is probably fine like Mack says.

18 weeks Mack- wooo! What's new and exciting with you??

I am in the tww. I kept using opks after my first positive, and got positives for 2 days, then a negative again yesterday morning. So I have a pretty good idea when I ovulated which is cool. We dtd at the right times so now I just wait. I have one leftover hpt from last month that I kinda want to wait as long as possible to use. 2 dpo today, will try to hold out til 12 dpo.

 

[bobster]

Good luck mlm

 

[bobster]

..And thanks for the progesterone link Mackjess. Its interesting stuff.. may have to make some dietary changes seeing as though my GP is useless and doesn't even seem to know what progesterone is.

 

[mackjess]

I started eating the wild yams and taking the B vits. I already ate a lot of eggs and nuts. They sell yam supplements online as well, but I thought they were really good baked with some butter so I didn't bother. Might be a good idea to try til you're thru 13 weeks, that is when the baby takes over making its own hormones. Smart little buggers aren't they?

mlm - So far nothing new. I stalk Finn on the doppler quite a bit since I can't feel movement yet. But since I have a hard time hearing just his heartbeat because it sounds like he is behind the wooshing placenta, I think that could be cushioning stuff so I don't feel him moving yet. I know he is cause sometimes he will swim away from the doppler! I had an OB appt this afternoon, but I have a missed call from the office this AM since I turn my ringer off when I go to sleep. It snowed like a foot the last 3 hours so I have a feeling they are cancelling appts. I don't mind since I'm working from home, I'm sure the roads are a mess and they haven't plowed my neighborhood so i don't even think I could make it to the main road! We have medians with grass and trees down the middle of our street which are lovely, but the snow banks on both sides of the narrow lane because of it and when I walked down the drive it's like 3 feet high on the sides of the road and a foot in the middle!

I can't remember phez, were you using OPKs as well? FX that you still OV or they get that cyst taken care of soon!!

You know mlm, I'm gonna make like today didnt happen, just while my OPKs are showing good signs. Not gonna tell DH they didnt see any follicles and carry on bding to see what happens. Been googling, it's a bit like living on a time bomb. If it ruptures its supposed to be agony and thats scary when you have a 2 yr old to look after and no family nearby. And the trewatment is either leave it, have surgery (no) or go on the pill (NOOOO). The last 2 arent cures they'll just be a possibly temporary fix. So will leave it and see if it goes on it's own and hope it just scuse my lingo, b***ers off. Cant believe it, as if TTC isnt stressful enough! Could it have caused my mc? Who knows but they are caused by hormonal imbalance so I can at leats get checked out. Sorry for long one.
Bobster, hang on in there, hope it's nothing to worry about. Although you will won't you ;-)
Good luck mlm
Thanks for link Mackjess

 

[bobster]

I think I would do the same as you Phez. Dr's don't always get these things right and bd'ing can't hurt can in just in case.

Mackjess you and Finn go steady in that snow! Luckily its all cleared up here.
