March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[brunettebimbo]

Sorry haven't posted much, I've had a pretty much constant headache. I've been having them for months. The Doctor has been monitoring me and I'm to go back if it gets worse. I'm gonna book in tomorrow if I can.

Have any of you had anything similar?

 

[mowat]

Did you have your levels followed down to 0 after your miscarriage Brunette? I guess you're having a cycle, so I'm sure you're fine. I had retained products for months because I had no follow up, and my first symptom was a constant headache for weeks on end. THe doctor totally dismissed me. Maybe your hormones are just a bit out of whack?

 

[Unexpected212]

Brunette -- With the headaches, and all the other symptoms you've been having I think I'd mention the possiblity of retained products to your doctor? just incase?

After I had my son I had the worst headaches of my life for about 2/3 months. I had an MRI and everything then they just stopped and the doctor put it down to hormonal changes.

 

[brunettebimbo]

My son is rather poorly at the minute so going to concentrate on him. I will drag my sorry arse to the doctors when he's better.

 

[eyemom]

brunette, hope everything gets better soon, but you gotta take care of yourself too.

lil update on me. I went ahead and tested this morning (13 dpo) even though I was bleeding enough I knew I was for sure out. BFN. Feeling okay about it b/c I wasn't even getting my hopes up this time...almost hoped against a bfp since with all the bleeding it would be more scary than exciting.

My only concern now is I don't know if today is going to be CD1 or not. I just need to know when to take the Clomid. I don't know if it would be better to go ahead and take it when I think I maybe should and take the chance that I might be off a day or two. Or if I should wait and see if next cycle it's clearer what in the world my cycle is doing so I know exactly what day to start taking it. Kind of hoping by later today things are picking up a bit so I can just go ahead and call today CD1 with some confidence. Even though that would make my LP a little shorter this cycle. It would go along with the low progesterone theory this cycle though. Maybe I dropped a bad egg??

Oh and the higher temp for today, I took it 1:15 late this morning. I figured I'm still on vacation and we had a snow day, so I didn't set the alarm. Sort of wishing I had though. Put it in a bbt adjuster and that puts today's temp at 98.04F instead, so still up but not as much.

Eye, FX for you that this next cycle is yours. They said to wait 3 months after the HSG, so maybe it kicked started something with your hormones or tubes and your body just straightened itself out with this weird spotting and now its on like donkey kong for ya hun!

Brunette, I had headaches most of my pregnancy and they cleared up after I had Finn. Maybe the girls are on to something with the retained product? I hope not, and that this is over for you so you can move on. Maybe it could be your cycles/hormones till getting back to normal and your head will clear up.

Sorry about your son feeling poorly. DS is in the other room crying now. Teething is AWFUL.

Sorry to cut it short. I thought I'd have a few more minutes to catch up.Just wanted to pop in with a cheer for everyone. Reading every day and sending all my PMA your way!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've had these headaches for months I think it may be since coming off my pill.

We ended up at out of hours with Tristan. He has an ear infection and has been given antibiotics. It's now 2.30am we've been up and down with him all night. He's in pain and nothing is working

Aww that sucks. I hope the antibiotics rid Tristan of the ear infection soon. They are a nuisance and unfortunately have to run its course. Hope you guys get some much needed rest soon...

 

[VivianJean]

Ouch. Poor bunny. Headaches sound hormonal... or possibly food induced? Any correlation that you can spot? I had a friend who was violently ill with headaches when she had garlic in large quantities...

 

[mowat]

Hi Mack!

 

[mowat]

I think I'd be tempted to use your temperatures to try and figure out cd1 Eye. Did the doctor you saw say to come back if the spotting continued? Weird.

 

[eyemom]

He did, but I believe he meant if it continued into the next cycle. I can't very well use temps b/c most of the time, my temps stay above the cover line until after AF, then they gradually go the rest of the way down.

Also, except for Saturday morning, I haven't been temping at the correct time due to vacation. So I can set an alarm for tomorrow (yuck, should have gone to bed on time, lol), but I don't have many good days to go on. :-/

(Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record, I can't keep track of what I've said in what thread.) I asked my Dr when I got the Rx how he thinks I should determine CD1 since usually it is pretty obvious, but occasionally not so much (but it's never been as hard to tell as now!). He said to count CD1 as when I "need protection." I don't know, maybe I have a low threshold for "needing protection," but as far as I'm concerned, I've needed protection off and on throughout this cycle! Unless he considers "needing protection" having to have something or I'd bleed through my clothes!?!?? I was home all day due to weather. I'm finding myself halfway wishing I hadn't put a pad on just to see if I REALLY "needed protection" or not. That's so gross but it's just so confusing. I mean (TMI) there was a fair bit of blood but not like a heavy day. It's ALWAYS on TP, sometimes a little, a couple of times a LOT (like I was sure the heavy stuff was coming). But then on the pad(s) it's not a lot for an entire day.

I'm wondering if this cycle I just had a weak follie and didn't have enough progesterone to sustain anything. I just hope it's an isolated incident and not a sign of things to come???? Really hoping this Clomid does the trick!

I've never thought of it being food induced. I will try and take note of when I get them and what I've eaten. See if there is any pattern.

 

[Left wonderin]

I've two different experiences of headaches . My oh gets awful migraines once a week at least , its defo food related think its wheat but will he listen

My sister had severe headaches over a period of time and went to GP . Was told they are cluster headaches which can last for months at a time ! Ordinary medication has little or no impact . And once you have them once they are more likley to reoccur . Can be connected to hormones . Worth googling x

 

[Left wonderin]

I just realised that I joined this thread this time last year exactly after my mmc . I've travelled through all the months ! A full year !! I've been through every emotion on it too !! I am so hopeful for everyone on here that their BFP are coming soon in 2014 . Sticking with TTC month in and month out is so so difficult at times especially the few days your hopes are dashed with AF or BFN showing up .
I'm sending buckets of PMA ( positive mental attitude ) to ye all for 2014 . Every month that brings disapointment also brings a oppertunity for to catch the egg

I'm rooting for all you ladies

 

[brunettebimbo]

Yeh I've read about them although the pain is in a different part than what most have said. I find that they are usually on the top of my head and hurt more if I bend down.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hi everyone!

Had my early scan. I should be roughly 6 weeks 2 or 3 days today but I was measuring 5weeks 6 days so 4 days behind. She wasn't concerned at all and said sac sized matched baby size and there was a strong heartbeat I could see flickering on the screen at 121bpm

I go back in 2 weeks am so excited and nervous to go back

Not too worried about measuring 3/4 days behind as I measured way behind at first with my son then he caught up. Also she said a week either side is pretty normal at this stage.

She said it all looked perfect to her.

Also I was very happy she did it abdominally I was sure I'd need a transvaginal, but nope! baby was easy to find

Glad to hear they weren't concerned and things look great. I would be freaking out with that news but they sound very confident that everything's fine. Yay! That's awesome baby was detectable with normal ultrasound! That's huge!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ladies,

After spending time away from certain pressures and being able to actually have time to think about what I want, I have decided to wait a little longer to try for a baby. I need more time to grieve and I want to enjoy my two babies before we add more to the mix.

Plus I'd like a bigger age gap now. We've missed the small gap we were hoping for so have decided to wait until Cohen is a little older.

So I will be making a doctors appointment asap to go onto the pill.

I will be keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you lovely ladies though.

Good for you girl. Sometimes we have to make the tough calls and you will be happy later when you have that gap you want. Now it's time to get on that pill and have some fun and leave the stresses of TTC behind for a while!!! i have to say i'm a tad jealous! ;-)

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Great news, Unexpected!

Fertile CM has dried up, so I'm in the 2 week struggle......I mean wait. I usually start testing after one, though. So tentative test day is next Friday!

Good luck!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Es- good luck, that two week wait sucks! Hopefully it will be worth it!

Left & starry - how are things going?

Good luck to all you other ladies!

Afm- made it to 32 weeks, feeling very blessed! Did find out last week I have gestational diabetes and it sucks to say the least! I check my sugar 4-5 times a day, and finding meals to make that work with it is insanely hard! Though it is not ideal...I will do anything to protect this little boy!

Yay for 32 weeks!!! Sorry for the GD though.
