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

Bethany - I'm sorry you are confused about your cycle, I totally understand that feeling. I know how you feel about the baby shower, while you are happy for her it reminds you of how hard it has been for you. I'll be thinking about you.

Rachel - To answer your question, I feel pretty good overall. I am definitely finding it more difficult to move around as easily like standing up and getting out of bed. I'm having some trouble sleeping too, mostly my sides falling asleep and having to shift positions and some heartburn. Overall though things are good. 8 and a half more weeks!

 

[bnporter81]

Sorry, I *meant* to say "Katya, I'm glad you got your prescription"My brain is not thinking correctly here lately, lol

Thank you, ladies, for caring...right now I'm about ready to stop trying to test for ovulation and just keep temping that way I'll know if I ever do O. or not. I just get so tired of my test looking positive or almost positive. Each time I see that I have high hopes that I'll be ovulating soon. When, in reality, it's probably just my LH levels being screwy and high again

Louise, I know how hard the last few weeks are...you are just SO ready for them to come out already! I hope it will be soon for you and you won't go over your due date. I like your new pic, BTW

 

[Rachel789]

Louise I like your new pic!

Bethany- how long have you been on the metformin now? I think I read before I takes up to 6 months to really start working its magic for cycles. I hope you o soon!

Caroline- it is tough to get up in general, especially getting out of bed. I kind of just roll out of bed now part of me is ready to get on with the next couple months and get her out but part of me will be really sad when pregnancy is over. I just love feeling her move in my belly dh and I can't get enough of it!

 

[bnporter81]

Thanks RachelI think I've been on it for about 3 months now. I just know I don't want another 100+ day cycle. And obviously it doesn't do any good for me to ask for Provera if it goes on too long because all she did was increase my Met. last time when I went over 3 months without AF. But now I'm taking 2,000mg. of it so I don't think she can increase it any more.

 

[Diddums]

Bethany I'm pretty sure it took me about 6 months to get my cycles back when I was 15 and they disappeared for 8 months or so last time! Give it time hopefully you won't have as long a cycle this time xxx

 

[Diddums]

Hope you've all had a good weekend!

Bethany, any movement on ovulation?

Can't wait until my booking in appointment on Wednesday!

 

[mrsc81]

Exciting times Katya I remember my booking in appointment like it was a few weeks ago

 

[Diddums]

How are you doing Lou? Any signs of labour?

Just had a nosey at the hospital i will choose for my care and its amazing. It has the best maternity ward in Surrey! Very excited!! Finally starting to process I'm pregnant and it still feels weird to see it. I've had nausea on and off and my boobs are really really sore, other than that nothing else. I guess that's all normal?

I have my early scan in three weeks and cant wait to see bubs

 

[mrsc81]

Im good, no signs yet, been losing bits of plug for a week or 2 but doesnt really mean anything, will probably go overdue as it seems common with first pregnancies and also im sure i ovulated a few days later than scanning dates
I still find it hard to believe im pregnant, my doctor said it will become real when im in labour
I didnt get any nausea until 6+ weeks, until then i just felt normal.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Lou, think I just need to relax a bit, and enjoy this relatively nausea-free period lol

 

[bnporter81]

Hope you've all had a good weekend!

Bethany, any movement on ovulation?

Can't wait until my booking in appointment on Wednesday!

Thanks for asking, Katya...my OPKs got a little lighter Friday and Saturday...now today it's looking darker againSo, no...no change really I know you must be so excited to get your appointment in and for your scanThat first ultrasound is always an unbelievable feeling

 

[Diddums]

Sorry to hear your opks aren't behaving! What dose of metformin are you on? Don't give up hope for this cycle. On the 4 cycles I ovulated after getting my periods back inoculated on cd33 cd35 cd19 and cd28 so while your cycles might not return to perfect straight away you might just ovulate a bit later, so don't lose hope! Xxxx

 

[Diddums]

Have a quick questions for you ladies.

My boobs are a lot less sore today. Is it normal for soreness to come and go?

 

[mrsc81]

Yes, i dont think i had any soreness, just a weird feeling in my boobs before i got my bfp, i felt normal until 6+ weeks when i started getting nausea.
Symptoms will come and go all the time, you will hate it when your feeling sick/tired/sore but then worry when your not

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Lou. So glad I have you ladies to talk to. I'm really trying to stay away from google and calling my dr all the time but nice to have some reassurance from ladies who have been through it xxx

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, they started me on 1,500mg. but increased it to 2.000mg. about a month and a half ago, so I'm pretty sure I'm on about the highest dose they usually prescribe

Try not to worry about how sore they are...I'm sure it's like morning sickness(or any other pregnancy symptom). It varies from woman to woman...it comes and goes. I know at this point it's so hard not to worry

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Bethany

You had a big temp jump this morning. I hope it keeps going up for you.

I'm feeling a lot better thanks girlies. My boobs are a little bit sorer and I was really nauseous this morning. I also have a really runny tummy ( sorry if tmi lol). Xxxx

 

[raventtc]

I did talk to my doctor and she told me that as long as there is no cramping or pain that its okay, it actually maybe helping matters some. Its cleaning out the leftover blood and she said that it could be helping even with the fibrods/cysts? anyway guess we will see next time I get my ultrasound, which is a week after my appointment. So not too long...

I was in total workout mode and warming up then realized wow I feel something...I just took off up the stairs, poor hubby was thinking wth! that was Friday night, but Saturday night it seemed like less came out but believe me I had that harder workout that night.

 

[cmwilson]

Raven - I'm glad the doctor isn't worried about the bleeding and hopefully you are getting nice and cleaned out. Have you ever had an HSG?

Bethany - I'm sorry your body isn't cooperating with you but I'm confident that you will O this cycle. I'll be chart stalking!

NewMrs - Hope everything is going well with you.

Nat - Hope things are going well with you! How's your mom doing?

Bex - I saw on your journal that you're feeling a down. Your little one will be here in no time and everything will be great.

Louise, Dee, Lil, and Rachel - Hope everything is going well with you and your growing little ones.

Katya - As far as symptoms go I really didn't have anything. My chest didn't start hurting until maybe 8 weeks? I never had nausea, I was just really tired and didn't have much of an appetite. It can be worrying when symptoms come and go but everything's fine and your scan will be here before you know it.

I had my 32 week appointment today and I'm happy to say that I'm measuring right on so either the last doctor measured me wrong or she was transverse until right before our last appointment and she hadn't stretched things out. She was moving around like crazy at this appointment so her heart rate was 172! So far I've gained 20 pounds this pregnancy so I'm right on track. Feeling very relieved after worrying for two weeks about measuring small. I hate being such a worry wart but I'm glad everything is ok.

 

[Rachel789]

Caroline- that's great news that she is measuring what she should be! and good job being where you should in regards to weight gain. I am up about 20 pounds so far myself. I just want to gain what is needed and that's it, I don't want more work getting the weight off after the baby is here.

Katya- my symptoms always came and went. I had sore boobs for about a week or so around 5 weeks then that was pretty much it for sore boobs. Nauseau didn't kick in for me until 6 weeks.

Bethany- I am really hoping your temp keeps going up!

Raven- glad to hear your dr isn't concerned about the bleeding

I hope everyone else is doing well sorry I don't get to address everyone each time, I am always on my ipad and typing on it is cumbersome
