Lovely Ladies TTC

[AuCa]

Yes, how are you doing carlywarly???
I've never been pregnant, but I thought spotting during early pregnancy is fairly normal.

 

[carlywarly]

Thanks for the concern Hope and Auca All's great hopefully The spotting stopped that night and nothing since. The sonographer did have to push far to the left to see my ovary. Think that's what caused it. I am not so stressed now lol.

Morning sickness sure has kicked in though...WOOHOO!!! I am so grateful to have it bad this time...makes me a little more hopeful

FX still for you guys...how you doing? Anything new to report??

 

[PurpleIvy44]

Hi ladies, thought I'd drop in and see how everyone is doing. Good luck to those approaching O and Fx for you Hope...all it takes is 1 time Carly I'm happy to hear your doing well and that the spotting went away.
I've just been dealing with the nausea and tiredness. I'm looking forward to the holiday so I can have some down time and rest. Was thinking of telling family around Christmas but will only be 10 weeks and I'm too nervous. I'm going to try and hold out until 14 weeks, hopefully I can hide it long enough from work Take care all!

I have stabbing pain in the right side of my lower abdomen. It has been hurting for about 24 hours. It is nothing like AF cramps. I believe it is ovulation pains however I think I ovulated on Wednesday. Here is what happened the past couple weeks.

Sunday 11/18/12 - MMC started
Saturday 12/1/12 - First -OPK
Sunday 12/2/12 - Another -OPK
Monday 12/3/12 - +OPK
Tuesday 12/4/12 - +OPK
Wednesday 12/5/12 and on - Back to -OPKs

Then when I woke up yesterday I had intense pain all day and it has gotten a little worse. It hurts more when I walk or make any sudden movements to my midsection. Do you think this could be ovulation pain?

Thanks ladies! I know you can make feel reassured!

bbanner I don't usually have O pains so I can't give too much input on how it feels. However, last month I thought I was having O pains b/c I continually had discomfort from when I calculated ovulation. I still had it after find out I was pregnant and that's why I had my 1st US. When they found the gestational sac they also found that I had a cyst. Having PCOS it's probably more common for someone like me to have cysts but that's what caused my discomfort.
You could also try BBT if you really want to know if you've O. It'll take a couple cycles but it does give you a clearer picture. Good luck!

Yes, it definitely could be (I'm pretty confident it is actually). The way you describe it sounds exactly how mine feels like. It's a stabbing pain that can get really terrible when I move (stand up, sit down etc). I get it (almost) every month right before I ovulate. The intensity varies from ok to to excruciating (I often get 2 days, one with milder pain and one with more intense pain). And of course it's one-sided.

Thanks! I read that ovulation after a MC can be much more sensitive and painful for the first few months for some women. I also read that when the egg is released, the fallopian tube contracts to help the egg make its way through so I believe that is what I am feeling. It feels like the same pain I had when I passed the MC and had all those contractions then, but just not as intense. I hope it doesn't last too much longer! Not sure I can take it!

Seriously the same! It is so bad when I sit or stand up! Usually I would only have a twinge for a couple minutes. Nothing like this. I'm too nervous to take any medication in the chance that the egg may be fertilized. We aren't really trying as hard as we were before the MC, but I don't want to ruin anything either.

I feel for you, as I know how painful this can be
You can take acetominophen/paracetamol (tylenol), which is safe in pregnancy. Just don't take any NSAIDs (ibuprofen etc). I always take that now when I think I could be pregnant (after ovulating).

 

[minuet]

sounds like you might be experiencing a good strong ovulation banner, which is good news for TTC!

 

[hope2903]

Ladies!!! I haven't seen you in a while. A lot has changed. Me and the boyfriend got engaged just last week but before this we decided to wait on having kids because we are looking at moving across country. Going to be a bit pricey. Anyways because we are waiting I have been on the pill for a while now. Today was a strange day though. I've been dizzy and having headaches for a few days now. I've also been nauseous but I cannot stop eating. Today in the shower I had twinges in my uterus and when I checked my cervix it was soft and only slightly open and my cm was lightly tinted with blood. I'm really confused because I've been on the pill so I shouldn't be pregnant and I haven't had sex in over two weeks. Any ideas?

 

[AuCa]

Congrats on your engagement Babymomma12!!
And good luck with moving!!

Hmm, not sure about your symptoms. There is still a slight chance you could be pregnant even being on BCP. I guess the only thing you can do is take a test.
When is your AF due?

 

[Babymomma12]

Well I'm on seasonique. My perio is due in about a month. So even if I am pregnant there is no way to tell but a blood test I guess.

Why wouldn't a urine test work (sry, I don't really know much about seasonique or BCPs, haven't been on any in a very long time)?

AFM - I am really frustrated and confused. Had an pos OPK on CD19, was sure I'd ovulate on CD20, and am now on CD21 without a temp shift in my chart Not sure what's going on. I hope I'll get the shift tomorrow morning. I'm worried I didn't ovulate at all, but still hoping that it's too early to tell yet

 

[bbanner19]

AuCa - My first month using OPKs when I first conceived I had a pos OPK on CD10 and then the next day it went back to negative. Had another pos OPK on CD15 and CD16. So it could just be an early surge and not quite Ov yet. I ended up have EWCM in between the two surges so I know I Ov on the second surge. Have you had more pos OPKs??

 

[hope2903]

Good morning lovely ladies hope u r all well.
Well im 8 dpo today nothing to report stomach pains went after a few hours havent had them since sunday, was gonna wait to test till the 20th would be 3 days late then but ive decided to test on thurs (10dpo) its my birthday and the day i should of had my first scan (early m/c in october) im hoping it might mean something you never know i cnt wait im really nervous and excited more than usually its weird. Baby dust for all of us

 

[Smiler82]

AuCa how was your temp today? I clicked on your chart but it's not showing Tuesday's yet (prob because of the time difference!). I know it doesn't look like a huge rise, but you did go from approx 36.3 to 36.5 and the minimum leap you need is 0.2. If your temp keeps rising it might give you CD20 as your O day. Or, as bbanner says you might get another positive in a few days and ov then. FX for you hun

hope I also have my FX for you, it would be nice to get some happy news on what could be a sad day. Although I'm sure you know 10dpo is still a tiny bit early so even if you get a bfn it wouldn't necessarily mean you're out

AFM I'm 13dpo today and VERY nervous. AF due tomorrow or Thursday. Eeek. I have no strong symptoms - a couple of cramps and a bit of breast pain but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm nervous about temping tomorrow in case it drops!

 

[hope2903]

Hi smiler thank you, wont be disappointed like you say it is still early if it is negative i will defo wait till af is late just thought it would fitting to do it on that day dont know why lol, fingers crossed for you cant belive you havent tested yet thats some wilpower, when are you going to test?

 

[Smiler82]

Ah it's totally understandable why you would feel like testing on that day

Haha well I used to start testing at 12dpo but I just got sick of it Too many bfns! I wasted so much time staring at white tests under bright light or with a magnifying glass, lol. I usually start to spot the day before AF so I thought just waiting for spotting was a much cheaper way of knowing if AF was on the horizon or not
