Great progressions ladies

Can you take ibuprofen in the 2WW? I've had the worst headache since just after O and paracetamol just isn't shifting it :/

I don't think it's recommended in pregnancy unfortunately. Although I think I read a one off wouldn't cause harm. Maybe try and Google it and see what it says. I'm like you with paracetamol, it never helps me with anything. With my migraines I would lay my head on a hot water bottle, obviously not one that's really hot but that is just warm enough to give some relieve

I got the 2-3 on Thursday ..... typically this month I didn’t track my ovulation (was using OPK’s for two months beforehand!!) so I think I was about 18 dpo on Thursday!

Thanks Laura, I think I will try to do without and try the hot water bottle and rest just in case.

My tests today at 11/12dpo.

The cassette one made me nervous as its not really darker but my frer is catching up to the control line and I've got really good progression with the one step cheapie. It's so hard to imaging every morning they wont be fainter. Having chemicals really has tainted all the excitement out testing now. My test are brilliant compared to all the chemicals but I still can't stop fretting it's not going to work out. It's these cramps that are making me so nervous. They kept me awake last night and I had cramps leading up to AF with all chemicals. I'm really scared as I'm not even due af for another 2 or 3 days that they still have time to start tapering off. I've got my hopes well and truly up now. Have any of you other ladies with your bfps had any cramping? My bbs are starting to feel a little tender now and I think I'm very mildly feeling nauseous on and off today. I just wish I could relax a little. Trying hard to keep busy during the day to not dwell on it. My gynaecologist said last month if I get pregnant that she's put my notes on the system for an early scan at the epu. But I'd surely need to wait until about 7 weeks before they'd see anything wouldn't I? It feels so far off when I'm only about 3wks 4/5 days

@Laurabub84 They can see the gestational sac and fetal poke around 5 weeks. By 6 weeks they can often see a heartbeat. I had a 4 week scam with my last pregnancy, and RE saw the spot that he said was either “a little blood or the pregnancy”. Just request vaginal ultrasound if they don’t automatically do it. I’m sure they will though.

So after a very traumatic twin loss in September, we started back ttc. This is cycle 2. I’m at 13 DPO. My lines have been faint. We decided not to even tell the RE until we see a darker line. Then I’ll be ready to start betas. We just went through so much last time that we’re hesitant to hop on that roller coaster too early. Especially since it’s a new year, new insurance, new deductible. The emergency room visit when I was bleeding so much popped us over our deductible for 2019. Hoping not to meet it in 2020. I’ll post my lines in a minute.

Glad to see so many lines January!!

I'm so sorry for your loss

Wow! Congratulations to all the new bfps that such great news for the new year. Hoping this is everyone’s year for a bfp with a happy and healthy 9 months xx

@Lightning7 your chart is looking great and a rise after big dip in tww is a good sign. Sorry I have been awol and never got to answer your bbt question but it is liking like you are doing fine.

afm I have no absolute clue what is happening this cycle if I have ovulated yet or not. We didn’t get a chance to BD hardly at all so if ovulation has happened I have no hope at all. Temps have been so out of whack and I started vitex this cycle so I’m scared I stuffed up my cycle

 

[hmmohrma]

I kind of jumped on the thread after lurking and catching up all morning. I had to take a break from the forum in September. My mantra for now is, “Today I am pregnant.” A woman recommended that in a recurrent loss FB page I’m in. It’s been helping me and DH. Still so early. Fingers crossed for us all. My super early line progression is attached. AF due in 5 days. Eek!

@TayBabes92 what is vitex?

 

[TayBabes92]

@TayBabes92 what is vitex?

Angus castus or chaste tree are a few other names for it
