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

[mackjess]

Good news. I've read about so many using clomid that got it after a few tries, or tried a few cycles with it to get a bfp naturally after coming off of if. either way, it seems like a big help! fx. for you. hope you get your appt soon.

 

[GI_Jane]

Thanks mackjess. - I'm only on day 16 so hoping I will get to see them before my next cycle starts- gives them about 40 days or so to fit me in so I can start it next cycle!

 

[mackjess]

Good luck. I know it can be really helpful with irregular cycles. I hope you get in soon as well!

 

[bobster]

Hi everyone. MLM sorry to hear of your bfn, lets hope its just too early. And if not you'll only have a couple of weeks to wait until next ovulation which is no time at all although I know can feel like an age.

Jane glad to hear they are referring you and getting the ball rolling. I have read really good things about clomid too. It can increase your chance of twins too!

MrsPhez, I hope your cyst goes away its such a pain. Can it just go away on its own for some people? How's the raw veg and peanut butter diet going?

My scans on Tuesday. Hope to god its ok but freaking out about the chance of a missed miscarriage as i've read about lots of women having those and they seem really common. Will just have to wait and see. Roll on tuesday
Will post symptoms I recorded in diary soon - I'm still recording symptoms even now for some reason- just didn't stop. Its become a bit of a crazy obsession. Still peeing on tests everyday too hahaha.

 

[MrsPhez]

Sorry for the BFN mlm, maybe today's the day, don't give up on this cycle just yet! Good luck!
Great news about the Clomid Jane, sounds like it's what you need and should help give you a regular cycle which will seem amazing in itself. Do they scan your ovaries for follicles while you're on it?
The cyst should disappearr on it's own (helped by my new diet) but when they are large sometimes they don't. Mine is on the border of being large at 5cm. Will have to see...
Still loving raw broc and PB but I ate a ton of chocolate yesterday. Doh!!!! Also walking at least 30 mins every day..been a bit sedentary lately.
FF has shown I ovulated 3 days ago my temps are on the up. Not convinced though! At least we dtd on the morning of O day, chances are so slim but there is a chance.

Hey ladies,

Bobster, I won't tell you not to worry because I will be the same in your situation. I will be thinking of you and hoping that your little beans heartbeat will be very strong. I think you said you had it in the evening? Please post an update as soon as you can.

I'm feeling quite positive about the clomid but don't want to get my hopes too high incase the people at the actual prescribing unit don't agree with my GP and think I don't need it. Anyway at least the ball is rolling but we will keep trying in the mean time.

Mrs phez, when I look up clomid online, it does suggest that there would be ultrasound monitoring and 21 day bloods etc but my GP suggested that's not always the case so will have to wait and see on that one...

Did you test again Mlm?

 

[bobster]

When do you go to the clinic then Jane? Hopefully they will monitor your bloods as it would be reassuring.

My friend came round with her 3 month old baby today. I'm sure my womb was doing somersaults. She's so adorable. Anyway my friend had a blighted ovum before she got pregnant with Erin and she said her boobs weren't as sore but she still felt sick with the blighted ovum. Now I'm terrified as my boobs don't feel that sore and i'm sure they're less sore than when I first found out. Argh so nervous about a mmc or blighted ovum. Its on Tuesday night at 7pm so I will update as soon as I can. Never been so nervous in my whole life as I am about this scan.

 

[GI_Jane]

If you can bobster, try and take it easy mate. Will you be working during the day on Monday and Tuesday? Hope that helps to distract you a little if you are.X

 

[bobster]

Thanks Jane. No we're on annual leave this week. I'm going to ring them tomorrow and see if they can see us earlier in the day. Will keep you posted...

 

[bobster]

Brought scan forward to tonight and saw a tiny 7+2 old bub with a heartbeat! So happy but know i'm not yet out of the woods. They said I have about 1:50 chance of mc now. Crazy thing is I worked out it must have been from bd 3 days before ovulation! A bit more relaxed now.

Hope you ladies are all doing OK. Whats everyone been up to? MLM when do you move?

 

[mackjess]

Oh Bobster that is wonderful news!!!! I'm so happy for you!

 

[mlm115]

Bobster that is amazing!!!!!!! So happy for you.

 

[MrsPhez]

Bobster, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEY Beyond happy for you and your OH!

5 DPO today, ho hum, thumb twiddling here. Day 21 bloods on Weds. Testing at weekend

 

[GI_Jane]

That's great news bobster. Hope you can relax a tiny bit. Has it hit you both now?

What happens next- wait for your 12 week nhs scan?

No news here, am day 19 I think.

 

[mlm115]

Well hellllo AF- the witch showed up at promptly 14dpo as usual. I'm annoyed. I get obvious ewcm around the same time each cycle, positive opks, we dtd at the right time, I have a perfectly normal lp, and I am still not pregnant! What the hell?!?? Ok. Done ranting. Sorry.

 

[bobster]

Thanks guys. Relaxing a tiny bit although he measured baby at only 7+1 which means it must have been from dtd 4 days (not 3 as previously said) before. I'm just hoping OH has good sperm that hung around for a while and its not just growing too slowly. He said it can be out by a few days though.

MLM what a bitch that witch is. Are you doing the deed after you think you've ovulated too? Did you do smep? It is strange because your cycles are textbook perfect and you seem to be dtd plenty. Remember though you only get a 20% chance each cycle even if you do everything right so you should do it within 5 cycles. Its just trying to be patient isn't it which is hard. Maybe try a more relaxed approach with the bd'ing and just do it as much as possible but not to a specific plan instead? Do you get plenty of ewcm?

Jane yes will wait now for nhs scan. Need to still book in with mw but still feeling reluctant to do it as its still early days and don't wanna jinx it. When do you go to the clinic? Hope you cycle shortens a bit this month.

MrsPhez keep us posted on the testing. By the law of averages one of you should have a bfp coming up soon! Do you think you may have o'd from the other side to the cyst? What are they doing about your follow up? will they rescan you at some point?

Will add my dpo symptoms in next post..

Ah that's crap Mlm. I'm sorry to read this and don't apologise for the rant- we more than understand your frustration. Will you do anything different next month do you think? Were you using the pre seed too?

How you doing mrs phez- temps still on the up?

 

[mackjess]

Bobster - Try not to worry about the exact day. You don't know how long it took for the little guy to burrow in and start growing, so I don't think you can really get it down to the day. You saw a heartbeat, that is HUGE. I know what you mean about jinxing yourself though. I finally started to relax a bit more after 12 weeks and then into the 2nd tri, so hopefully you ease into this as well.

MLM, total crap about AF. Gripe away girl.

I'm having a crap day myself. I did join a July due date thread for ladies that were pregnant after a loss. There's a handful of us that were trucking along and doing good, but now one lady got her cervix checked at her 20 week scan, found out it was incompetent, she is too far dilated for a stitch and is on bedrest at the hospital just waiting to most likely lose her LO. So I'm mad today. It's not fair that some have to try so hard, then to have losses, finally get a pregnancy going her way, then go thru this again. We've been typing in the same group since November, so even tho we are only internet buddies it still feels like a friend. Mad mad mad today. This isn't her first loss in second trimester, so she is done trying after this.

That's my vent, didn't want to vent in my other thread since she has so much going on, but it's not fair and it sucks and I'm tired of this happening to women who'd be great moms.

The thing that was different for me this month was that after my OPK I still had loads of ewcm. Had it in total for about 7 days. Had negatives after first positive for 5 days and then on the 6th day a blazing positive (both lines very dark when ejected the digi OPK). Only bd'd the 2 consecutive days before the second positive and not at all after.

Positive OPK day- Mild af cramps in the morning. Slight nausea after a cereal bar. Woke up twice during the night (not to pee or anything just restless). Lots of ewcm, wasn't sure if it was actually sperm after going for a number 2.
1dpo-negative opk. Small amount of ewcm but feels like its drying up. Urine infection symptoms. Woke up again through the night (very unusual for me).
2dpo- Tired, loss of libido. Hungry.
3dpo (could be the day of actual ovulation according to scan dates)- mild af like cramps in the morning when woke up. Very bloated after a big meal on evening. Feel like making myself sick to relieve the feeling but don't.
4dpo- slight nausea in am. backache and left boob slightly tender to touch on side.
5dpo- boobs becoming sore.
6dpo- irritable with OH. Want my own space. Dry cm. Tired. Ate loads of carbs. Bloated and boobs sore.
7dpo- boobs sore.
8dpo- shadow line but no colour to it.
9dpo- very faint line on frer and clearblue digi 1-2.
10dpo- cramps, on and off pressure feeling in uterus. boobs still sore but not worse than a few days ago.
11dpo- couple of sharp twinges during a long busy day at work. feeling happy and content.
12dpo- wave of nausea which quickly went away. cramps ++, twinges, bloating and boobs more tender and swollen - look bigger.
13dpo- wet feeling in pants. paranoid about blood. moderate cramps while at work. twinges near ovaries.
14dpo- af due, feels around the corner. moderate cramping again +++. wet down below.
15dpo- not as crampy today. worried boobs are less sore.

List continues but I won't bore you anymore.

 

[mackjess]

Very good detailed symptoms. I had a lot of similar ones as you with all the wetness close to AF, but didn't think to track them.
