[raventtc]

Hey ladies :wave: i did have my appointment on friday. My doctor did refer me to someone else FS that will take our insurace and I have a appointment with them on 4/5 in the morning. She told me that my cervix looks like its closed or blocked and that my lining is thick, and it was last time too...so she sent me with paperwork for the new doctor and wants me to get a procedure done where they scrape things out and maybe they will dilate my opening..I have no idea, I have been bleeding now for a long time! and I am not a happy camper about it either. I also came down with a cold last week and its been kicking my butt, but not as bad as my new workout plan...that has me seriously gasping for air. We started the insanty training dvd's and wow wow they are killer! Sorry I don't post much it seems like when I try to the site kicks me out and i get a virus warning...from bnb?! so of course then i manually scan and sometimes if finds something and sometimes it doesn't.

good luck all you momma's to be out there!! can't believe its almost time for most of you...

we will get there too !!

 

[mrsc81]

Glad things are moving forward and the insurance issues have been resolved, keep us posted on how things are going

I like the look of those insanity workouts.. they do look.. Insane

 

[Rachel789]

Louise- that's a beautiful name!

Dee- that is good you are not worrying that is the best thing to do especially since they said that is common for boys.

Raven-it's good to hear from you! I am glad you will finally be able to see a specialist. Hopefully that procedure will fix things for you!

 

[Diddums]

Raven, have you been given a reason why you're bleeding so much (sorry if it's personal or you don't want to answer)?

4/5th engaged! So exciting, hopefully wont be long!

AFM just waiting for AF to come so I can move on to another cycle. Might have a look at those insanity workouts!

 

[mrsc81]

Its strange how the say it, as 1/5 is the most engaged and 4/5 is least engaged, but either way she is engaged and hope it isnt long!

Haha oops! Either way, hope you don't have to wait too long to meet bubs xxx

 

[raventtc]

no reason as to the bleeding...maybe just my thick linning sheding more than usual. really who knows, i was worried that exercising would be why but my doctor said that exercising is okay and helpful during your period. I do have some small cysts and an enlarged ovary and maybe they are leaking or going away! really I don't know I am just sooo sick of seeing blood, but glad that I got an appointment so soon. usually it takes awhile but glad to get some more answers and a different prespective of things...

 

[bnporter81]

Raven, glad to see you back...I hope your next appointment will result in some answers and, hopefully, an end to your bleeding. It must be awful! Good luck, hon

Louise, sounds like your little one will be here shortly. With my daughter I stayed 2cm dialated for 2 weeks before she was born and with my last son I was completely closed at my appointment and then 6 days later I was in labor(and gave birth within 7 hours). Babies can be so unpredictable I hope she will be here soon for you and it will be a quick, easy delivery

Katya, your chart is looking good. Your cycles seem to have come a long way over the last 6 months...it's so great! My cycles have gone from 145 days to 109 days. I'm hoping this current cycle will at least be down in the double digits, FX. If not I think I'll go crazy, lol

Raven, was your last cycle annovulatory? When I had my long cycle w/out ovulating, it went a while, and just I just suddenly started spotting, which turned into a heavy flow that latest for weeks until I saw a Dr - they gave me provera, which seems counter-intuitive, but the progesterone sopped the bleeding while I was taking it, then gave me a "period" again at the end, which only lasted a few days. If you don't ovulate, you're stuck in the pre-ovulation phase, building up the uterine lining by estrogen. You can keep building it until you just start bleeding b/c there is just too much and it's too thick. Anyway, not sure if this describes your or if your Dr explained it to you that way at all, but it made sense to me!

i've been lurking a lot the past few days so not sure what i have and haven't replied to but i'll give it a go! here goes

caroline, i hope the measuring small thing is nothing to worry about! when is your next scan? i would worry too but only because i worry about EVERYTHING! i think we might be very similar in that respect

dee, will you be having another scan to check on LO's kidney? fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about, if the professionals weren't worried then i am positive that everything will be fine

raven, glad you had your appointment and have another one booked. how odd that you're still bleeding maybe you're having a good ol' clean out ready for your bfp

katya, your chart is looking great! i really hope this is your cycle. i can't remember what you asked me about maca now, sorry

bethany, i've got my fingers crossed that this cycle is a short one

rachel, lil, louise, newmrs and bex - i hope you're all doing amazing

hope i haven't missed anyone out and i'm really sorry if i have

AFM, i just had a natural 27 day cycle very strange! i'm pleased about it though of course my cycles have shortened right up, my last three have been 31, 43 and 27 so quite irregular but all pretty short! i am extremely depressed right now, i don't know if it's just hormones or what but i am seriously and want it to stop

 

[cmwilson]

Thanks Nat. I think we are very similar in worrying about everything. It's hard not to. I am not supposed to have another scan but if I go back in 2 weeks and I'm still measuring behind then I'll get a scan. I'm hoping that she was just laying sideways for most of the two weeks and so it wasn't stretching my uterus and now that she's head down she'll start stretching it out. I'm trying not to worry but you know how it is. I'm so sorry you are feeling down. I'm not sure there is anything I can say to you to make you feel better other than to say that I'm here to vent to and I'm thinking about you.

Raven - I'm glad that they were able to find you an FS covered by your insurance and I really hope they can figure out the bleeding. That must be so frustrating! Your appointment is right around the corner!

Katya - Chart is looking great! Fingers crossed.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks ladies

Nat I was just wondering how long it took to notice the effects of taking maca? I've only been taking it 2 days so don't expect anything yet but wondering how long it too for you. Also I might buy the powder next time if I notice any good effect. Can you taste it in cooking?

 

[seabean]

Natalie you have a lot of positives in your life right now, and a 27d cycle is great! Cheer up soon, and like Caroline said, we're always here for venting!

I will get a re-scan at 28 weeks to look at the kidneys. It was borderline and apparently it's common, so I'm not too worried, but it will be nice to get another peek at the little guy!

 

[seabean]

Katya - your temps are looking great! AF usually comes about now for you right?! When are you testing?!

 

[Diddums]

Dee usually my temp would have started dropping today and I would start spotting. No spotting so far and temp was good this morning. I had a really vivid dream that I poas and it was positive so silly me decided to test this morning at 8dpo. Stark white of course. Might test tomorrow am if temp still up and no spotting this afternoon or I might wait until Saturday morning if no spotting and temp still up which will make me 10dpo.

 

[raventtc]

I wouldn't worry yourself too much, i know when my niece was born she was tiny and she was full term..she was just the size of a premie. Acually all my nieces are tiny..lol, but keeping you in my thoughts/prayers.

Yes I am glad that I got an appointment so soon, and supper glad to have the paperwork from the other doctor so things can get rolling right away. She stated I need to get a D&C so I hope they see what she see's and we get this thing sorted out. Last night it seemed as though my bleeding was finally slowing down...its now gone but it was soooo much lighter than it has been. And yes Dee I understand what you were telling me, I think that was most likely happening. Its funny cause last year when I got my ultra sound done it was after a strange cycle and I heard some of the same things....so really think that is what may have happened.

Thanks for the support ladies

 

[mrsc81]

Katya my line was really faint at what i thought was 11/12dpo, so dont give up hope!

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Lou I'm feeling ok about it. I think I've come to terms with the fact I probably won't get a bfp on my own which helps me relax and not stress during the tww. Then if I'm late or temps still up ill test and it can be a nice surprise to get a bfp rather than testing and feeling crushed its bfn. If that makes any sense?

 

[bnporter81]

Nat, I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling so down. Lots of big to you and I hope you feel better soon. Like the others have said, just remember we're here if you need us!

Katya, I think your chart is looking great. I understand about not wanting to get your hopes up or stress during the TWW, so I'll get my hopes up for you
