Hi ladies, Merry Christmas Eve!

Raven - I'm sorry your body seems to be messing with you again. I know you must be feeling so discouraged. I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed for you!

Katya - Hooray for O! Hope this is it for you!!!

Well I'm officially 20 weeks today! Half way there!! I had an appointment today and I think the nurses job was to freak me out in every way she could. She first weighed me and told me I'd gained 6 pounds since my last visit. I asked if that was normal and she said not really, when they see that type of weight gain they worry about pre-eclampsia. So freak out number one. She then took my blood pressure which was completely normal and then I asked the doctor later about the weight gain and she said she wasn't worried about it that typically everyone has one appointment where they have a large weight gain, that my blood pressure and urine were good.

Then the nurse looked for the heart beat and it was off to the right. It was in the 130s so that lead to freak out number two. The last time I went in it was 155 so I was freaking. The doctor told me it is normal for the heart rate to slow at this point and as long as it is in the 120-170 range they are pleased. What have your heart rates been pregnant ladies? Another thing that was weird was when the nurse was looking for the heart beat there was this loud like bubble sound and I asked her what it was and she said, "I don't know maybe movement?" I'm thinking in my head, "You've never heard this sound before? Great. What does that mean?" Doctor says my uterus is measuring right on for 20 weeks, right under my belly button. Anyway, in general everything looks good but not my most reassuring appointment. 17 days till my ultrasound, I'm looking forward to it but also worried.

Merry Christmas from New Zealand!!

Sorry about the BFN Raven, I still have my fingers crossed that a BFP is coming

Caroline, that nurse knows nothing! Weight gain is not a sign of pre eclampsia that I know of, they check your urine for signs of that, more than weight gain! That nurse sounds horrible. As for heart rate, I have no official record of my baby's heart rate. The midwife tried to record it 4 weeks ago, for a minute, but baby kept running away from the probe She never got a full minute, but so long as the heart rate sounds strong and healthy they are happy. And the bubble you heard? Baby kicking the probe, my baby does it every time they listen I have quite an active baby, and she does not like the doppler at all Everything sounds fine to me about your pregnancy!

I get my next scan at 30 weeks, due to my thyroid they like to check baby's growth every 4 weeks now til she is born, I am not complaining!

Have a great day everyone!

Raven - Sorry your in limbo, hopefully you will get a bfp soon

Caroline - Happy half way! That sound is definately movement My baby's heart rate started around 170 when i first found it, its now around 150. Going by the heart rate theory i would say your having a boy

 

[cmwilson]

Bex - Thank you so much for reassuring me! I feel so much better now. That's so neat that the baby kicked the doppler. Hehe So cute! Merry Christmas!

Louise - Thank you also for the reassurance. I'm almost positive it's a boy. I'd be absolutely shocked if it's a girl. I'd be happy to bring a boy to the thread! 17 days!

Hope you all had a lovely christmas ladies

Raven any news?

I'm still hoping I o'd and it wasn't a false start. Ewcm dried up completely and it's now sticky so I think I o'd a couple days ago but my temp hasn't increased yet. Also because I had a fever a few days before i think I o'd my temps are so wacky I can't tell or see any sort of temp shift! Oh well. Temps over the next few days will tell.

Lots of good wishes to you all xxxx

 

[rmsh1]

Katya, my guess is you O'd around CD25, but a few more temps will show for sure

 

[Diddums]

Katya, my guess is you O'd around CD25, but a few more temps will show for sure

Thanks so hard to tell because of my fever. Also my post O temps seem really low. Think I will go have my progesterone tested in 2 days, should be 6dpo?

Hi girls, hope you all had a great Christmas!

Caroline, I'm sorry the nurse had you so worried. Doesn't exactly sound like she had great bedside manner I probably would have been a little concerned, too, but I think everything is fine. The BPM were still in a normal range and a lot of women have at least a couple of appts. where the weight has snuck up on them. Try not to worry and enjoy the pregnancy as much as you can

Raven, I'm crossing my fingers and toes that AF has stayed away for you. Keep us posted!

Katya, it's so great that you've ovulated this early in your cycleI hope you get some great news in the next couple of weeks!

Christmas was very nice here, but myself as well as 2 of my kids and husband were all sick for a few days with a bad stomach bugWe're finally about over it, but we were pretty miserable with it. Needless to say, with all of that I couldn't eat enough food to take the Metformin so I just started back taking it yesterday. Still having a pretty light OPK, so maybe that's good. I also heard that taking inositol along with folic acid can help with PCOS...and I've read that it's safe to take alongside Met. so I've been taking those things as well

Hope everyone is doing well and that you all have a wonderful and blessed New Year

 

[Diddums]

Morning ladies. How is everyone?

Raven any news? I have my fingers crossed for you xxx

AFM I had very slight spotting at 12.30am on 6dpo. I only saw it because I was checking cervix and cm and saw that the cm was pink. No idea when it started but it stopped straight after that. And now at 7dpo my temp has increased again. I'm still sure I ovulated around cd25 because of the opk and cm so this chart is different to all my other ones in that I had mid LP spotting. Guess we will see in a few days whether I get AF! If I don't start spotting on 8/9dpo and no temp drop I wil take a test on 10dpo which is New Year's Day

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck Katya

 

[Diddums]

Thanks

Ohhh Katya, this is exciting! Good luck!

 

[raventtc]

bfn and af for me, hubby is getting down again he said he doesn't want to know anything anymore cause he really got his hopes up and its getting harder...i feel the same way - this month i was late and got excited!! and af showed up late to the party and ruined it big time.

on to the next month i guess...

 

[Diddums]

Oh Raven I am so bummed for you I really thought this was it for you xxx

 

[mrsc81]

Sorry AF got you raven Every cycle i would say to my DH i think i might be pregnant and he would say, you always say that. It was so frustrating

 

[Diddums]

got some brownish cm only when I check cervix. But at 8dpo I'm already out I've spotting at about this time every other ovulatory cycle. Only difference is that for my other cycles my temp was at or close to cover line when I spotted. Whereas this cycle it's elevated (highest 8dpo for any cycle so far). I guess if my temp is still high tomorrow i still have a chance but I think my temp will drop tomorrow. At least I'm ovulating. But I think my progesterone is too low and I will need progesterone supplements in the TWW to help egg implant. Hopefully my low progesterone levels will be enough proof for my appoitment in Feb xxxx

More spotting for me today. Still only when I check cp and cm but its pink. Although no heavier. Temp still up but think it will drop tomorrow morning. Had my progesterone test back and the number is 15. Last cycle it was 12 at the same 6dpo so a bit better. Def think I have low progesterone. Hoping if I O next cycle as well that will be three cycles with short LP and low progesterone and maybe my dr will let me do a few cycles with progesterone supplements before we go onto do clomid.

Happy new year ladies. Think I will enjoy a couple gasses of bubbly seeing as AF is on her way and I tested bfn at 9dpo xxx

 

[mrsc81]
