Sorry to hear that. That's how AF always was for me from high school on. I'd always have to stay home from school and lay on the bathroom floor with a heating pad and bucket close by. When I went off BC last year they came back that way, and I thought, oh yeah I forgot this sucks, but then after my MC AF was really pathetic and that made me worry too as I felt like I must have no lining. They finally got back to the horrid pain I remembered about 6 mos later. DH thought I was dying. On the couch in a cold sweat with a heating pad... the next month we got our BFP! Must've needed a big thick lining and a strong uterus to get things working... FX for you this next month!

AFM vomited for the first time this morning. Doc had told me last week that if I hadn't yet I probably wouldn't. I have had a lot of nausea and gagginess since the beginning, especially if I'm hungry, but this morning I had cereal as soon as I got up (as I wake up starving now) and half an hour later it was back while brushing my teeth. .
I also dreamed that I was supposed to be in a wedding (it may have been my own, not sure), but the church said, no, you have to hve the wedding at 7am not because the Duchess of Cambridge is having her wedding at 2 and she's much more important than you. Thinking it was due to the fact that American news made a big deal yesterday about her last appearance before having the baby... so maybe I'm feeling like we're similar? yeah right

Omg me too!! I used to leave school early because I was throwing up. That's actually why my mom put me on BC & then they were fine but soon as I stopped BC here they came!

Update later for me , I couldn't sleep a wink last night insomnia hit me hard ! Today I have no spotting tho and my cervix is now HSC with creamy cm . I have been really gassy this morning along with a case of nausea when I took my chewy prenatal it made me wanna puke , Also AF types cramps but only on my right side never had that before

When is supposed to be here?

Tomorrow or sunday

 

[KatyW]

I think there are some BFPs around the corner - I think I saw a little something, MzImpatient.

As for me, I'm having weird fluttering below my belly button, plus jabbing pains today, dull lower back ache on and off...

 

[Tangerine]

Hoping to see some new BFPs soon! Looks like a lot of us might be taking tests this weekend!

AFM, I'm 8 dpo today. I've been having a lot of weird symptoms! Really hoping that I might see something on my FRER Sunday morning. I feel like I'm either pregnant or my mind/body is playing serious tricks with me: I've still got the strange cramping, and sore tender breasts since O day. I went to bed early without OH last night, exhausted even though I slept in past 10:30, then woke up 3 times last night to pee when I usually don't get up through the night. I thought I might be getting a UTI but it's just that pressure feeling on my bladder, increased frequency AND volume of urine, no straining to go or burning or anything else. Too weird. I do have a lot of wet creamy CM too.

 

[Mme2kdee]

Ruskiegirl - sounds promising!!!!! Fingers crossed.

Well spotting stopped already...so weird. Clear blue fertility monitor still shows low fertility. Cd11. I'm guessing I won't O again until really late. I have heard alot of people get a lot of high fertility early the first month with the monitor. Mine have all been low. Has anyone had it just all of the sudden peak?

 

[Mme2kdee]

Lol Jk my spotting started again.

I'm not sure they do another set here... Especially if im going to go thru midwifery.
I basically had to argue about the quantitative hcg... My doc said they'd do a urine and it would be good enough and that 'they wouldnt be able to give me the number, yiure either pg or not. but then she checked off quant. Hcg on my lab form... Not sure if she knows her lab stuff lol but even at the lab the lady said oh they'll just let you know yes or no... It was only after that I told her I was a nurse that she said oh they can print it with the graph.... Jeezzz

Unfortunately there seems to be a faction of people in the medical community that prefer vague responses & like keeping patients in the dark when it comes to details.

I've personally had several doctors who didn't want me to have copies of my own lab work (or would only tell me "everything is fine" for cholesterol or something when I wanted to know what "fine" meant). It is really annoying. Most lab slips aren't even that hard to understand.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Ya here I know patients have the right to have copies of anything, and in dec they gave me a copy of my neg result so... But they just try to road block you. Either way I have it and I'm happy I don't think I really need to repeat it, I'm find waiting for the US

 

[melann13]

my insurance/hospital has online patient charts (not like official charts) but everytime a new lab result comes in for me I get an email and then I can log in and see it no matter how boring a test. There's even a link at the top of each one that takes you to a medical dictionary type page to explain the test. I LOVE IT. When I got all my intake BW done last week they took 6 viles of blood. It sure was nice to know what they all tested for and for each result it tells you your value and if it's high/low/normal and what the reference range is.
I can also email the doctor that way which makes me feel much less annoying than when I call since they can check my questions on their time.

 

[Tangerine]

OMG, anyone have any idea why they do that? It seriously peeves me off. I have so many tests between appointments with my GP, specialists, everyone else. It's so much easier if I just have my own records of them but they never want to give them! My GP has not been forwarded results more times than I can count. Either they get lost or they're never sent etc. etc.

 

[stargazer0726]

I'm out this month bfn and af it was a super weird cycle only 23 days, not sure when I will be able to test again, waiting for a positive opk probably June 30th or beginning of july.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Melann.... That is the coolest thing ever! Here we do have electronic charting too in some respects but only healthcare professionals can access it, and you have to access your own record thru the doc, I just got trained on it but to look up your own record is a biiggg no no.. But that is so neat, and very with the times! I would love it too!

 

[chulie]

Wow ladies. Electronic records. That's awesome. I actually think we have that in Canada but ya. Not available to the patient. I've been lucky to have dr's who are very open and if I ask questions they'll tell me.

So excited for the bfp that sound like their knocking on a few doors!!!!!

 

[Ruskiegirl]

Temp is back up again !!! I feel like I might be coming down with the flu but that is a symptom !!! Watery Cm is back again IC was a but picking up some first signal tonight when we go shopping

Doctors are rushed. The less detail the patient knows, the fewer questions they have and the less time the doc has to spend with them. It's much easier to say "hey, your stuff came back normal, go have a nice day" than it is to give you your exact result vs a reference range & risk you asking 20 questions about why your result is "high normal" etc. Time is money for MDs in this country.
