long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[Rachel789]

Be happy you haven't thrown up yet, I hope I don't ever again. a week or so ago my boobs got pretty sore but since they they have been BARELY sore, I have to really poke at them to feel anything. But the nausea is reminding me things are still happening in there at least. I don't think any of us will feel really pregnant until we have a bump starting to show.

 

[mrsc81]

Dee - cant wait for you to test again!

All good here just feel sooo lazy
My thyroid meds have been increased again, so far ive gone from 150mg - 200mg since being pregnant. I feel like i have so many appts and tests! Midwife next week 19th, consultant 5th october, repeat blood test for thyroid needed in 4-6 wks, 20wk scan 5th november.. thats just what ive got lined up for now
Caroline i still dont feel pregnant, like rachel said i think you do when you start rapidly expanding

 

[Mrs.stefka]

WOW! I leave for awhile, come back, and so many of you are pregnant. I guess I should have stayed on here to gather my thoughts rather than take a hiatus. This thread must be the key to getting preggo!!

I will try to post a pic of the dried hpt strip, but I've read online all over that evap lines can even be pink, so I have zero hope right now. I am still having pretty intense cramps for the past few days now, that's probably the only thing out of the ordinary. Other than that, my boobs hurt and are fuller - but that's typical between Ovulation and AF for me.

Rachel and Caroline - I hope the nausea subsides soon!

Mrs S - Glad to have you back! How have you been!

I'm great! 5dpo now...crampy off and on, too! Fingers crossed for you!!

 

[seabean]

Tested last night with a FRER and....

13DPO today, so I'm not sure why my temp is going up b/c I'm positive that AF is on her way soon. Last cycle she hit me on 16DPO, so by this Sunday

 

[Mrs.stefka]

Don't give up hope until she shows, Seabean!

 

[cmwilson]

Dee - Maybe because you have a long LP you wouldn't get a positive test yet. Your chart looks so different from your last chart. I'm still going to keep my fingers crossed for you.

Katya, Bethany, Raven - What's new with you?

Rachel - Good Luck Today!! I can't wait to hear how your appointment went!

My appointment went well. My doctor just went over the do's and don'ts and gave me an exam. She said my cervix and ovaries look good. I have my first scan on the 26th!! I'll be 7 weeks 3 days by then so hopefully we'll be able to hear a heart beat! The next two weeks are going to dragggggg.

 

[seabean]

There is a little ounce of hope left, we shall see

Caroline - glad your appointment went well. Hearing the heart beat will be so awesome!

Rachel - good luck!!!

Mrs. S - how were your cycles while you were gone? What CD did you O on this time around? Can't wait for you to test!

 

[raventtc]

going good for me i guess, i have been sooo busy that i haven't been thinking about everything - which is a good thing!! Has anyone read "Tales from the crib" its free on amazon today and I got it....it sounded like a ttc book but with some marraige twists. I'll let you know how I like it. Getting the free books on Amazon is my new thing, i have read some really great ones lately (older girls have practice monday thru friday) so i get lots of reading in. and its takes away from driving myself crazy with ttc.

 

[Rachel789]

Raven I see your temp is going up, do you think you o'ed?

Dee-Your chart looks so good, I am holding out hope for you that a late BFP is on it's way for you. It definitely happens

Caroline-Glad to hear your appt went well. I hope the next couple weeks fly by for you!

Mrs Stefka-It's good to have you back!

Lil-Where have you been? don't leave us!! I hope you are doing well

My appt went great today! The baby is measuring perfectly and we were able to see the heartbeat, it was amazing I have my next appt the first week of October so I will be just over 9 weeks then. Can't wait for that one! I attached the scan pic even though it doesn't look like much yet

[Rachel789]

I have a question for you ladies...The dr based the EDD by my LMP and said the baby was measuring about 6+3 or 6+4. I have my ticker set based on my actual O day. Do you think I should change it to what the dr. said? I always thought O day was most accurate?

 

[cmwilson]

Rachel - Great news!! I'm so glad your appointment went so well and you got to see the heartbeat and your little one.

My doc calculated my EDD using my O date but maybe you'll want to go with what your doc says.

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage Rachel. At my first scan, they dated me as 6 +3 while I thought I was 6 + 5. At my 12 week scan, I believed I was 12+2, they dated me as 12+3 It is not precise. I am going by my ovulation date. The sonographer told me that so long as the dates were within a week of expected, they don't change them, so would stick with the date I told them

 

[seabean]

Rachel - it really looks like a bean!

 

[mrsc81]

Great news Rachel!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Glad to see everyone is doing so well in this thread!

I had an appointment with another different doctor today and it actually went quite well! She was really nice and couldn't believe that every doctor I've seen in the past put my problems down entirely to my weight. She thinks my problems may be thyroid related as my blood results again showed I have an underactive thyroid.

She prescribed me norethisterone tablets which I've to take 3 times a day for 10 days (this is going to be a task and a half considering my problem swallowing medicine ) and I've to go back in a fortnight for an internal examination. Not really looking forward to that but I'm really happy I've found a doctor who's finally taking me seriously

 

[NewMrs2011]

Seabean, your chart is looking great! Good luck

 

[Diddums]

Seanbean good luck with testing!

Sorry I've been MIA ladies. Will catch up with the posts.

Nothing to report with me. No O and haven't had ewcm yet. Don't think I will O in my own for now. Good news is I've lost 18lbs so far. Only another 32 to lost before febuary. Still cycling 5-6 times a week for at least an hour so that's going well xxx

 

[Rachel789]

newmrs-That is such great news that you got a dr that is helping you out finally Keep us posted on how it all works out.

Katya-Sorry it looks like you haven't o'ed. I still hope your body figures it out and you end up o'ing. Congrats on the weight loss so far, that's great!!
