Good luck ladies in the 2ww! I love when ladies in this thread get BFPs!

Dee - I never had much in the way of symptoms. No throwing up at all. Very small waves of nausea when I'm hungry but that's it! Although I'm sure you'd like some reassurance at this point, puking your guts up isn't fun... And not very one gets ms

Hi girls...hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving. We're traveling to see family and won't be home until Sunday night.

Big hugs everyone

Katya, congrats on cross hairs!!
Dee, my MS seemed to never end, and started around week 7 or 8. It was nasty, and I last vomited around 18 weeks. I feel normal now though I cannot say it was an easy time, I felt sick from the moment I woke til the moment I went to bed, and lost 5kg in weight. I am probably only now back to my pre-preg weight, and a lot of that is baby now!

I had to copy Rach and put a bump pic up, here is mine from 22 weeks

 

[Diddums]

Aww that is too cute!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Diddums, great news that you ovulated! Hopefully you caught the egg - wouldn't it be amazing to get a BFP before your appointment!

bnp, hope the ewcm is a good sign and you ovulate soon.

Hope AF stays away for you raven!

Hope all you mummys to be are still well. Loving the bump pics too

Nothing happening here can't believe I fell for such a nasty evap when I hadn't even ovulated - I feel SO stupid

I'm also really upset tonight, my sister text me a picture of a clearblue test that said 'pregnant 3+' tonight. I am happy for her, but she's 20 years old, got no job, lives in a 1bed council flat and has a waster of a boyfriend. Me and DH are married, got our own house, financially stable, waited 7 years to start ttc so we could live our lives a little first and want nothing more than a baby, but it's just not happening It's so unfair and I can't help but wonder what we've done to deserve this

Hugs newmrs I know how you feel. Last week three girls I went to school with announced second pregnancies and two girls had a baby! Always think why me? Why did my body have to he so screwed up!

Went to the drs for my blood test form for 7dpo progesterone. I asked him about dates etc and he said that all women have a 14 day LP because that's how we are physiologically programmed. I asked whether any ladies had shorter LP (as I only had a 8 day LP in Jan - though could have been because it was first month off bcp?) and he replied no not really. 14 days is normal and the odd exception have a shorter LP. I should get blood test results back middle of next week. He said a level of 30+ indicates ovulation. I guess if my level is high enough but then I get AF on Monday (assuming a 8 day LP) that would provide evidence to my FS that I have a short LP? What could she do if that's the case?

diddums- not sure why your doctors told you everyone has the same lp...but glad you got bloodtest done

afm- i am super busy, spent today working and baking too....now i am going to relax and watch a movie, and try not to think about all the things i need to do before tomorrow night -- eekkk

 

[NewMrs2011]

Happy Thanksgiving American ladies. Have a lovely day with your loved ones

 

[Diddums]

Ladies. I can't get my blood test on Saturday 7dpo as they are closed. Is 6dpo enough or best to wait until Monday and be 9dpo? If I even get to 9dpo that is. I guess tomorrow at 6dpo is better?

 

[mrsc81]

I would go tomorrow at 6po, i had bloods done the cycle i got my bfp in preperation for the fertility clinic, i went at 5/6 dpo and got 47.6 as the result.

 

[Diddums]

I would go tomorrow at 6po, i had bloods done the cycle i got my bfp in preperation for the fertility clinic, i went at 5/6 dpo and got 47.6 as the result.

Thanks! That's good to know. Did you get your bfp before you got your results back? Can't remember at what dpo you got a bfp xx

 

[mrsc81]

I got the results before i got my bfp, i was searching online to see what the results meant as i wasnt sure i was ovulating, i realised 47.6 meant i had ovulated, then got a bfp on 10/11 dpo. It only takes 2/3 days to get results, i phoned my gp surgery and asked for the results number/level

As for the other question about LP, i dont know for sure but if you have got a short LP meaning low progesterone, you would need a progesterone supplement, someone please correct me if im wrong?

 

[mrsc81]

Yes it seems i was partly right as progesterone cream is one way of correcting a short LP.
Heres a good article about short LP, causes, treatments etc.. Ideally your LP should be 12 days or more

Thanks! Will have a read now x

Ladies,

Today officially marks one year since I joined this thread. In that time you have given me advice, support, kindness and inspiration. You have been there for me during my deepest struggles and, at times, were the only ones I could turn to. I don't know what I would have done without your support. So today, on my one year anniversary and Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you.

 

[seabean]

Caroline, you are so sweet! I am so thankful for all of you as well! This is also a week after my one year on Bnb. I joined when I didn't have a clue what was going on with my early mc. Months later and still no AF I found you lovely ladies to vent to and found such a great network of compassion and help! Thank you!!!

Rmsh, I'm glad you are finally out of the woods with the ms

 

[Diddums]

Small temp drop. Hopefully nothing to worry about!

 

[mrsc81]

Caroline - i cant believe you are 15 nearly 16 weeks already! Why does everyone elses pregnancy seem to go faster than mine
Will you be finding out the gender?

Dee- When are you going to put a ticker up?

Katya - Fingers crossed this is your cycle

 

[Diddums]

Thanks for the link on LP! Got my blood taken this morning and will get results in 3 working days. Last time I ovulated my temp dropped 7dpo which is tomorrow and started lightly spotting so will see what tomorrow brings. Not particularly worries or stressed. Relieved I've ovulated and if my LP is short I will have enough proof to bring with me in feb
