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

[bobster]

Ooooh well symptoms fluctuate all the time Phez I've found- wouldn't worry too much. Some days I've felt boobs sore, sickness, cold symptoms and then the next they can go and I'll feel normal. It was worrying at first but now I think its just normal.

The nausea has however stayed for the last week or so Feels like sea sickness/hangover. I am not complaining though. Bleugh!

Your symptoms sound good so far but remember about the 20% chance per cycle thing. It just comes down to luck at the end of the day I think. Hope its your turn this time, we need another bfp!

 

[bobster]

Jane- glad you felt a bit reassured. I think like Mack says, ttc is a passion killer because ultimately you are having sex for another reason now not just because you fancy it. It seems very normal to me. As soon as you get your bfp (very soon I can feel it) you will have your libidos back again I'm sure

Maybe try reading some erotic novels or something like that to get your mind out of baby mode and into passion mode. Or try something different with OH to get out of the routine a bit. I find once you have one really good (ahem) session, it gets you both feeling more sexual in general (for a while anyway lol).

 

[mackjess]

Bobster is totally right. I had trouble getting in the mood, but if I sent DH a text or something out of the ordinary, or when we took a short holiday, I still wasn't really in the mood, but once things progressed I relaxed and forgot and was glad afterward I trudged on. Felt less like trudging if we didn't just go to bed at normal time and have to do it that day before we went to sleep cause it was a fertile day.

Got my bloods back, a reassuring 26.1 for progesterone. Doc commented on the fact it was an ovulatory level. So this is good news. But I have done research and there is the chance the egg may have got stuck within the cyst and never made it to the tube. Damn you google! Alwaays looking for worse case scenario. But at the end of it all, there is alwas hope (Pandora's Box! So roll on tomorrow!

 

[bobster]

Keep up the pma phez. Fingers x for tomorrow

 

[GI_Jane]

Your blood results are great news mrs phez- just goes to show that the ultrasound doesn't give the whole picture and the NHS do know how to measure progesterone lol. Hope you get your bfp tomorrow.

 

[mackjess]

Phez I hope if you O'd it didn't get stuck. But if AF does show, at least you know your body did O and you should be getting an egg from the other side the next cycle. Hope it doesn't come to that though and you get your BFP. FX.

 

[mlm115]

Good luck mrs Phez, let us know when you test!

 

[MrsPhez]

BFN and temp nose dived so either it's an implantation dip or it's imminent AF.

 

[bobster]

Hopefully implantation dip but if not here's to o'ing from the side without the cyst next time. Every bfn is a step closer to your bfp don't worry xx

 

[GI_Jane]

I'm sorry mrs Phez. I hope you see a faint line tomorrow.

Yesterday and the day before I had EWCM and some O twinges so hoping this will be a more 'normal' cycle for me (I'm currently day 23), so even if I don't get a BFP this cycle- to have a cycle less then 40 days will be great. We dtd so hoping I'm in with a chance but equally I've been tricked before but somehow this cycle seems a little different- I am a lot more relaxed since going to the GP and knowing my referral letter is in the post.

I had a letter through that I need my routine smear test done (Pap smear for you guys in the states), think I might put it off this cycle just incase we did conceive or do you think I'm being silly doing that- i'm not sure if it would hurt a bean?

 

[MrsPhez]

AF showed, grrrr. Will be off gathering my thoughts for a while, hounding my gyn for an app rather than just another scan.
Jane, when I was actually pregnant they wouldn't do a smear but I had one 2 weeks ago, hmmm! Personally I didnt think it would make any difference so early on but who knows, I didn't fall this month! Luckily it came back nomal, a reason to be cheerful.
Thanks for kind words guys, chat soon

 

[GI_Jane]

take it easy mrs phez. The disappointment and frustration can take its toll a little each cycle cant't it.

I think I will leave the smear for now. It it turns out this will be another 60 day cycle then I will book it in in a few weeks time but for now I will just wait and see what happens in 14 days.

 

[mlm115]

I'm pretty sure they did a smear during my 8 week appointment. I only know that because it was the first time I had normal results in years. So I think you should be fine if you decide to go ahead with it.

Sorry about af Phez. That sucks. On to the next cycle I suppose.

Jane, that would be fab if your cycle shortens up for you! Do you think it's because you are more relaxed? I'm hoping for good things for you!

 

[mackjess]

I had my smear about 4 dpo and had no idea I was preggers!

 

[bobster]

I don't think it would make any difference to the bean but I would probably avoid it anyway if I were you for the time being. I think they do it on pregnant ladies at my work but can't be 100%.

Sorry AF got you my dear.

I think it could be a number of things- maybe it just took 6 months to get back to what was normal for me. I have been less anxious this cycle for sure but also have been exercising more consistently the last 3 weeks and having more of the reflexology...anyhow, I really hope this is the start of getting back to normal...feeling more positive that a BFP could be in my grasp at some point this year if indeed this cycle is a shorter and ovulating one
More Ewcm today so will jump DH again later.
Thanks for your stories re the smear- I will prob be fine but won't chance it until I think I'm out this month or it's another long one.

How are you all doing? Are you going to SMEP Mlm? How is the house buying going?

 

[bobster]

Jane sounds really promising. I always have lots of ewcm when I get a bfp. Maybe try to lay down for a whike after bd to keep them inside a bit longer too. So exciting! Yes how is mlm? U must be in the run up to vulation. Will u 2 be in 2ww together? When do you move into your new house?

 

[mlm115]

I forgot you are doing reflexology Jane, maybe it is helping. That's very cool. Seems like you are doing a good job taking care of yourself and getting healthy, good for you.

I am cd 6 today- I'm not sure about doing smep. I'm a little torn because DH earned a free trip to St Thomas through his work and we go next month. If I am lucky enough to get a bfp this month, I would be 5-6 weeks along on the vacation. Last time I was pregnant we went to Mexico in week 5-6, and I felt terrible and to be honest I can't help but partially blame my mmc on the traveling. So I'm not sure what I want to do.

We are supposed to close on our new house in a few weeks which I am very excited for! I better have a baby soon though cause the house has 4 bedrooms and will feel very empty if I don't start filling the rooms with baby stuff soon!

How are you preggo ladies feeling? What ended up happening with the woman with the incompetent cervix Mack? I hope she and baby are ok.

 

[mackjess]

unfortunately she went into labor and they couldn't stop it and it was way too early. just absolutely devastating.

reflexology sounds like heaven jane. I think I will try it if I can find a place that is good with prenatal as I get further along. I think it would really help with circulation and swelling.

hi everyone! I'm just cooking along, waiting for my bun to be done. started yoga today and its pretty fantastic. I recommend it one you get your bfp's!
