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

[MrsPhez]

Got a quick bd in last night and my temp went up this morning so the pressure is off! Aaaand breathe...
Mlm, don't worry yet, time is on your side and 5 months isnt long at all. It will happen...
Bobster cant believe youre almsost 11 weeks, wow! Cant wait to hear about your 12 week scan!
Well done preggy ladies, so encouraging!

 

[GI_Jane]

Did your opk head back to negative mrs phez, how are your temps? I hope you caught the egg.

Mlm, I never felt pregnant before this BFP- only the night before I tested at 15 dpo did I think maybe I could be. So maybe you should consider testing in a couple of days.

Thanks for the reassurance bobster, moderate is definitely how I would rate these twinges. I worry when they are too strong and then when I don't feel them for a bit- cant win! Nipples/aereola area is sore and there are a few funny sensations going on behind my nipples. Not had much nausea but have felt a little bit nausea when a passenger in the car but is only for a brief minute. I have a fear of puking up so hope I don't actually vomit as time goes on. Have you actually been vomiting or just the nauseated feeling?

I'm trying to not think too far ahead re 12 week scan, but have been thinking about the 7/8 week early one, scary to think I could get that done in 2-3 weeks time. I won't contact the GP for another 10 days/2 weeks- I just don't want to jinx anything yet and will hope for 3+ in a weeks time.

I am very close to my immediate family so they know. My sister was a bit bitchy about it though- think it was because I refused to eat her brandy dessert and very raw egg based cheesecake she made yesterday!

Did your oh tell his mum in the end? I haven't been keeping a diary-thinking maybe I should start.

After the cramps, sore boobs and nausea, what symptoms are next?
Does you tummy seem rounder yet?

 

[bobster]

Hi Jane everyone is different I guess but my main symptoms after the ones you've already mentioned are extreme nausea almost like a hangover or motion sickness and mild cramps/twinges and loads more wetness down below. Have just felt nauteous so far up until today when I vomitted once. It seems to be getting worse no energy either.

We haven't told inlaws yet no, haven't seen them. Going for a joint family meal next weekend though so it might be then. Sorry for delayed reply has been a terrible day-to-day was meant to be going out for the day but felt too ill so been on sofa instead watching films. Fedup.com.

Hope everyone else is ok. Mlm please keep us updated.

No, the opk was still a glaring positive but think BD is off the cards tonight. DH working all weekend and he's whacked, hopefully the last 2 sessions will be enough? My ovulation cramping is quite severe today, not sure if it's cyst or not though. Maybe its on its way out, it should be by all accounts but it's pretty big. Got my scan date through for another check before gyn app, hopefully it will have done one!

 

[GI_Jane]

Thanks bobster. Sorry to hear you are fed up and feeling rubbish, hopefully a couple more weeks and you will be out of the ms stage. I hope oh is looking after you.

From what you've said mrs phez, I'm hopeful for you that it will have been enough. I know mackjess and bobster said it was likely they concieived as a result of dtd a few days before they o'd. I don't know for sure, but for me too, I think we dtd 2 days before I estimate I actually o'd. Let us know how your scan and 2ww go.

Well, after my statement of "I'm not going to test at all", I of course tested. BFN. If I'm going by ewcm, I would be about 10-11dpo. If I'm going by first positive opks, I'm 13-14 dpo. I just went to the bathroom and had light dark red blood when I wiped- not very much though. Soooo either the start of af or ib. I'm guessing af, but this cycle has confused me then. Bluh.

 

[MrsPhez]

I know the feeling mlm. Sorry to hear about the BFN.
Managed anoither bd last nightbut my temps not convincing, could be anovulatory cycle. Oh the the ups and downs

Will be interested to see what happens next- keep us posted! Exciting times.

You're certainly getting the in. I hope it is ovulation for you

 

[GI_Jane]

I had a horrible anxiety dream last night, dreamt my teeth fell out in to my hands as I was rinsing my mouth. I'm trying to stay relaxed and keep this all in perspective and one day at a time but it's not easy.

Bobster and mackjess, I know at your respective stages you worry also, but how are you making it through each day? Is it getting easier as you get through each milestone?

 

[bobster]

Sorry for bfn mlm. Let's hope you are having what mackjess and Jane had and your bfp will cone in a few days time. If not though you are edging closer to your bfp. I think 7 cycles seems a common time to conceive after a loss (me and a couple of my friends). Maybe try again if af doesnt arrive in 4 days or so.

Jane, I was constantly panicky at the beginning. Took it in milestones so when af was due, when I had diet mc, 6 weeks, 7 weeks for scab etc. Still doing that now I guess but feeling less panicky as it goes long. Think after 12 week scan if everything goes ok I will relax a lot more. I think crams are ny major fear trigger just because I didn't know what was going on in there but the doppler has helped quite a bit. Didn't hear heartbeat until nearly 10 weeks tho and some days can't hear it now, its a bit of luck as to where baby is but I know that's normal so it doesn't worry me too much. I bet the first scan will help you Jane.

Mrsphez, sounds like you did ovulate based on your signs don't worry maybe todays temp was a fluke. Don't they say u should look at the general pattern and not single temps? Positive thoughts.

 

[bobster]

Just read that back... Shockingly bad language sorry ladies I'm on my phone again. It's a nightmare to type on. Bring back old fashioned phones with buttons I say!

 

[mlm115]

100% positive it is af this morning.

Good luck in your tww Phez, hope you manage so stay calm and get your bfp at the end of it!

Good luck with your pregnancies Jane, Bobster, and Mack. Hope everything goes perfectly smooth for all of you!

 

[GI_Jane]

I don't like using b&b on my phone for the same reason!

Thanks bobster, I think I need to chop my milestones into smaller chunks at this early stage. My first milestone was the early 7/8 week scan but I think i need to make reaching 5 weeks tomorrow my first very mini celebration, then my next one will be seeing 3+ on the digital and so on...

I think having this long 4 day weekend has given me more time dwell on it too. Once I'm back at work tomorrow hopefully I will be a little more distracted.

Are you feeling better than you were yesterday?

You're absolutely right. I am sure I o'ed yesterday, I felt it! And with the EWCM and opk it had to be yesterday. I took my temp at lunch time today and was very high (normal post o temp), I know the timing is wrong but I am certain it will be high tomorrow. Yey for the 2ww. Back in the pos frame of mind, thank you!

 

[bobster]

MLM- I hope you're not too disappointed. I'm sure your bfp is coming up soon, I can feel it in my waters! Its good that you have your house to focus on. When do you actually move? I bet once you are thinking about that and actually moving and putting your stamp on it, it will happen.. and then you won't be able to lift any boxes lol! I'm quite envious of you buying a house.. We're still renting. We have about 10k saved up but its not quite enough so we need to save more this year. I didn't do my nursing for 2 years so not had long to save. Hope this af hurries up and ovulation comes quickly again.

Jane I think taking it in small milestones is the best way. I was like you- terrified of jinxing it if I thought too far ahead. I still am like that and probably will be until the end. I think you can think positively though as your tests are progressing as they should and like the others have said it doesn't tend to happen with mc's. Plus the chance of another mc is very low after you've already had one, we've all had our share of bad luck! When is it your 5 week mark? I've been kind of having a mini celebration each time I get to the next week (Saturday's for me).

Phez yay! I knew it sounded too much like ov. Glad you're feeling more positive. Sounds like you've done everything you could have and now its just sitting and waiting. Hope you temps stay high now. Out of interest why do people carry on temping once they have ovulated? Don't know much about temping.

 

[GI_Jane]

It's Tuesday's for me. So 5 weeks tomorrow.

To measure length of luteal phase and to look for the supposed implantation dip, although you see that in preg and non-preg charts (it can just be a surge of oestrogen). Also to look for another jump in temps that could mean pregnancy. All a bit of speculation really but keeps us occupied in the 2ww!

 

[MrsPhez]

100% positive it is af this morning.

Good luck in your tww Phez, hope you manage so stay calm and get your bfp at the end of it!

Good luck with your pregnancies Jane, Bobster, and Mack. Hope everything goes perfectly smooth for all of you!

So sorry mlm, it's pretty devastating see that one line but don't give up hope!
