Maya abdominal therapy

Ugh.

Today I had more AF type cramps which is affecting my positivity big time! I always get cramps for DAYS before AF actually arrives so I don't take this as a good sign atall.

I know they say 'you're not out until AF shows, blah blah' and lots of women seem to get cramps before their BFP, but since this is normal for me every damn month, I just don't like it.

Ho hum. How are the rest of you doing?

 

[Yippie]

Oh ! Still, I'd repeat the same -"You're not out...." You still 5-6 DPO I suppose with LP 14, if I'm right ?

Me too, not expecting to get a positive TBH, I would not test till I miss my AF though, which is due Sept 15ish anyway. So until now just the gentle cramps and slight hot feeling, which is usual for me every month. My upper thigh pain comes and goes, which is new this cycle. I'm feeling neutral, to avoid any disappointments.

 

[redlemonade]

This is probably the worst part of every month, right? I'm about 8/9 dpo I think. I hate that I'm symptom spotting but it's kind of hard to miss these cramps!

Maybe we're worrying over nothing eh? I'm not going to test until I'm late either, I figure it'd be a waste of money and too depressing to see a bfn. I hope feeling similar symptoms to months when AF shows doesn't actually count us out, so yeah, staying neutral is probably the most sensible option, lol!

 

[Yippie]

Agree, tww with anticipation and then AF visiting is the worst part ! I go wild and show my anger on poor DH I'll know before hand if AF will be visiting as I temp. Yes, similar symptoms every month don't count us out, hopefully. Fingers crossed for both of us. Just wish that the fairy blesses us this cycle or at least next cycle !

Lots of for both of us !

 

[SusieC]

Still sending you both lots of and stalking!
Try to hold out re testing - seeing a BFN is the worst. Some months I was really good and didn't test, other months I tested early and the BFN always felt like a kick in the guts. Got everything x that this is a lucky thread!

 

[Yippie]

Hey Susie, Nice to see you, How are you getting on & what's up with you?

Hey Susie, Nice to see you, How are you getting on & what's up with you?

Hello Yippie
I'm doing ok. 5+5 today! I'm feeling absolutely shattered, have bad head fog and really sore boobs - so all good! First scan on Monday, really hope we'll see something!

 

[Yippie]

Good luck for your scan Susie. Do you still have to continue with the acupuncture sessions ?

 

[redlemonade]

Hey guys!

Susie, all the best for the scan on Monday! You must be so excited

I only ever tested early once and I swore - never again! I'll wait until when/if I'm late. These last few days are the hardest but luckily I'm able to take my mind off it by being super busy with work lol!

Yeah, hopefully the same symptoms as usual don't mean anything! Thankfully my cramps are gone again but I wouldn't be surprised if they came back. Yippie - I'm glad your AF is due at a similar time to me and fingers crossed for a bfp for us both

Ps I have very limited Internet access at the moment so if I'm not replying to you straight away you'll know why!

Hi Red & Yippie
Good idea to keep busy, otherwise the TWW lasts forever. Red- glad the cramps are better. I had my last Accupuncture treatment last week, as she said she doesn't treat in pregnancy unless its for something specific like morning sickness or heartburn. So she gave me one last nourishing treatment and sent me on my way saying in the nicest possible way she hoped never to see me again lol!! She noticed that my pulse was different - she said it was slippery, which is to be expected in pregnancy so that made me happy!

 

[Yippie]

Susie, Good to know you are getting on & responding well during the first trimester.

Same here Red, I tested once when I was sure I wasn't preg like a then on, I wait for the 2nd waiting week tempratures, so I don't have to test generally as I can determine from the chart what I should expect.

Good to let us know , you have limited access, as I was wondering about you yesterday

to both of us, and hope it works for us this time.

 

[redlemonade]

Susie - a slippery pulse? Never heard that term before! How interesting. And great news, it's obviously a really great sign that things are going well.

Yippie - keep me updated Hope I didn't worry you about not responding; our Internet service at home has gone down. At least I don't have a chance to google the crap out of 'symptoms' eh?

 

[Yippie]

Yes, will keep you updated. You too please do.

 

[redlemonade]

Will do

Li'l update from me. AF is due between tomorrow (Tuesday) and Thursday and I've no doubt she's on her way. I had the strangest pain yesterday - normally my endo (or whatever that pain is) is on my right, but yesterday I had a strange ache on my left side and around my back. I never get pain on my left side! Only lasted a few hours.

Today I have distinctive AF type cramping. I knew the maya massage wouldn't work miracles and figured I may need more than 1 treatment, but, after 8 cycles of ttc, I'm still feeling sad.

I know they say you can still cramp in early pregnancy but I think this is much too similar to what I experience before every AF.

I'm pretty tired of this crap tbh! Even DH is wondering what we're doing wrong. Blah! It's not helping that people keep asking me when we're going to hear the 'pitter patter of tiny feet' Some people just have no tact.

 

[Yippie]

If you have not had that kinda pain and you have it now, it may be a good sign ? My AF is due in 3 days time, that is Thursday too. My temps dropped today at 11DPO and I'm pretty sure, just like other cycles that AF is on her way ! I shall continue with the yoga and haramaki next cycle too !

I felt something would happen this cycle as it's my Birthday month, but alas! I just had a cry till now and tiff with poor DH this morning. I'm actually fed up after 1.5 years of trying. Just sometimes think that I would be better off with adopting a baby, without having to go through any IUI or IVF ! I've been shouting at GOD TBH !! Just sheer devastated !

 

[redlemonade]

I know how you feel hun. I'm sorry that you're feeling the same way too. It's just horrible. In a way, I'm always relieved when AF shows because at least then I know for sure and can start the countdown to the next ovulation phase. This waiting for AF, and knowing its on the way, is the worst.

I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. Hang in there, your baby will come.

Hi Red & Yippie
Sorry to hear you're having a crappy time Yippie. Just thought I'd up date you both.
So i had my scan this am at 6+2- it doesn't look good, no yolk sac, fetal pole or heartbeat. 2 small areas of 3mm & 4mm that "might" be sign of a gestational sac or could be patches of fluid, she wasn't sure. I'm v sure of my dates as I had a scan which showed when I ov. They took bloods, I go back weds for a repeat. They weren't hopeful, neither am I. I'm feeling pretty devastated right now

 

[redlemonade]

Oh Susie

I'm so sorry to read this hun. I can only imagine how you're feeling. I was so hoping that this was your sticky baby.

Are they going to do another scan on Wednesday? Or just bloods?

I hope you're able to take some time off work right now and just look after yourself. I can't imagine what you and your DH are going through. I'm sending warm and positive vibes your way

 

[SusieC]

Thanks For your support Red. My heart feels like it's broken. I didn't go in to work today might go in tomorrow on reduced hours, will take weds off. Just got to take it one day at a time, I can't stop crying. I can't believe it's happening again- I had so much hope this time. No cramping of bleeding yet. I DK if they'll offer another scan - I assume so. They did a pregnancy test which was positive but a faint line (but it wasn't FMU & I drank a ton of water for the scan), but I tested positive 3 weeks after my first MC & ERPC so doesn't mean much. I found a forum where lots of women were told they were miscarrying or it didn't look hopeful but found heartbeats a few weeks later. I'm prob kidding myself but holding a grain of hope x
