ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[StillWaiting]

Hello Lovlies!

I hope this works. Attached a couple tests. The top one is from the day before (FRER), but I find that those just stay the same. Today is the day that I would typically expect the evil one to show.

Yay MummyCat for finally being able to announce on FB!

Sarah, I hope that your sore throat is through before the bunny jumping commences.

For the first time in a long time, my DH is actually in the belief stage that we are pregnant. No little feat.

Congrats StillWaiting - those are very definite !!

 

[NDH]

Nice lines! And glad your hubby is excited all ready. I can't wait til mine gets to the point where he agrees that a line is a line.

Awe, thanks Huggles! I really hope this one sticks.

 

[StillWaiting]

Nice lines! And glad your hubby is excited all ready. I can't wait til mine gets to the point where he agrees that a line is a line.

I'll admit that we're both a little skeptical. Been through this before. Darn chems. I don't believe that we'll be full believers until we have a scan. Ha!!

those are great lines.. ! stillwaiting, so glad for you..

things are not ok for me.. first of all today as i parked my car under my mums place i got this gut wrenching pain and it hurt so bad on the left side of my lower abdomen, i could cry. it was horrible, i was bowled over for about 15 minutes and it still did not go., it was really bad

i went to the clinic.. next door to me mums and apparently i do have a small UTI, but no medication, it had been sent for culture and the results will come on sunday. But she wanted to do another scan and when she did, we saw that i have an anterior low lying placenta.. and that means i am in risk of bleeding and its not looking good. if my placenta does not go upward in the next few months, they will determine a C-section..

plus she said you should not bleed excessively in which case if i do, the whole thing could be over for me

i am so upset and she has basically put me on bed rest even though i am not bleeding yet. she said there is a risk thats all but i should watch out for bleeding. DH is upset and so am i, we are going to marcus on sunday to show him this report and DH suggested i do it and he is coming with me he said, we want this baby so bad and we are so blessed to have it after a year.. and now this, i did google it and it is no threat to the baby but bleeding is possible and there are cases of women bleeding and still having the baby

i think we should not fly, im not sure but some threads say you shouldnt fly, some say its ok, we will lose around 360 pounds on our rental car if we dont go on the trip. i hope everything turns out ok.. im just praying..,

plus ive got a massive headache that just wont seem to go.

I just came on to read the replies, no time to reply myself then I read your preethi.... big ...stay positive....my stomach dropped when I read 'and that means i am in risk of bleeding and its not looking good' but then I read on....you are not bleeding yet and theres only a small chance for that right? I will have to google 'anterior low lying placenta'...but what are the percentages of this being a complication? do most women have it but have normal pregnancies?

ask marcus about the trip....the money doesnt matter when you are talking about a life here, so perhaps you shouldnt go.

stillwaiting SO SO happy for you those are great lines xxxx

dew: ive been gargling salt water and drinking orange juice, it seems to be easing up and I wont take medication when this near to O. one more day into the 2ww for you, hope it goes quick for you

 

[sarahincanada]

preethi Im sure you are googling away, but I found this

https://www.babycenter.com/400_low-lying-placenta_950334_55.bc

some good replies there about the condition, sounds like the placenta can move as the uterus grows.

someone said its also called placenta previa and theres quite a bit of info when you google that

 

[sarahincanada]

preethi, did no ultrasounds before show that the baby had implanted lower?? I just wonder if she is correct, so its good you are going to see marcus

 

[Dew]

Preethi: I was just reading online about this condition...I also read about 'placenta previa'...I would warn you against reading much about it online as it may lead to unnecessary stress but if you do need to, here is a link you can totally trust for its contents...

https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/placenta-previa/DS00588

I hope and pray you don't bleed and your placenta moves up in next few days/weeks. Even if you do, there is still little to worry because bleeding is expected in this condition and you may have to be at bed rest, undergo C-section to deliver baby and refrain from intercourse. You'll just be fine, take rest, may be stay with mom for sometime as she can take care of you. I am so sorry that you have to go through all this....I am praying for you

Makes me wonder again if getting pregnant and taking pregnancy to full term is this difficult, how come there are billions of humans on this planet

 

[Dew]

Stillwaiting: those are beautiful lines....hope it's a sticky bean for you!

Mummy: Glad you could put it on FB...that's one big step and it's nice to know your friends are excited for you....sending their good wishes

 

[nypage1981]

Sorry Preethi, I am thinking of you and hoping Marcus has better news for you. If not, then just take the bed rest and that will get you through. I feel for you and we will help get you through this.

 

[MummyCat]

Heya!!

StillWaiting..those are perfect lines!!

Preethi I'm so sorry to hear about your day!! If it makes you feel any better... my friend who was visiting today is 28 weeks pregnant with partial placenta previa (spelling??) but basically she's been told, any bleeding to head straight to hospital, but they're having a scan at 36 weeks to see if it's moved... she was told more often than not it does move, but if it doesn't.. she'll be scheduled for a C-Section.

Basically the risk is that as the baby gets further along, there is more pressure put on the cervix and as such baby will be pushing on the placenta. This can cause the placenta to rupture/break away from the uterus and cause the baby and you to bleed out. (This is what was explained to me by my friend)

so if you bleed... it's VERY serious and urgent and immediate care is required! BUT... most cases are monitored closely so it's very rare that anyone loses a baby or a life from this!

I don't say any of this to scare you my love... I know you don't like reading upsettign things.. I'm just confirming that from what i've heard it's a very serious condition and I'm pleased that your hubby is actively involved and being so lovely and supportive! You'll need all the support you can get!

I hope your placenta moves... think positive thoughts honey... they mostly DO move!!

 

[sarahincanada]

mummy thats some great info there, its great that this is closely monitored and most placentas end up moving. preethi I look forward to hearing what marcus says, he knows you so well now so I just want to see what his verdict is.

so i just put in my temps into my chart and here it is below

so Ive heard you have a temp dip a day before ovulation, but can it be days before? the reason I ask is that I am expecting my smiley face tomorrow (friday) and I think I will then ovulate saturday. or perhaps thats not much of a dip, I dont know, its just first time I went into the 35c's. and what do the white circles mean? also do temps go up the day of ovulation or next day?

sheryl Im hoping you will answer

 

[sherylb]

Your temp will go up the day after O. White dots mean the time is blank, a bit off from normal or that you put that you were sleep deprived. Maybe you are Oing a day early. I don't know for sure.

 

[Dew]

Sarah: white circles mean you took the reading beyond the usual time range and so this reading cannot be relied upon. Also, not everybody gets a dip before ovulation, and those who do don't get it in every cycle. A spike in temp followed by at least 2 more high temps indicate you ovulated day before the spike. charting can tell you what day you ovulated after ovulation has occured and not before, for that reason you combine it with OPKs. Hope it helps. I like your BD pattern, wish we did it this way.

 

[Dew]

I see Sheryl already answered...

 

[sarahincanada]

wow sheryl you are fast, you must have known I was thinking about you.
the times are in those temps, so perhaps as they are higher and lower thats why. I will see if I get my smiley face tomorrow or if it changes this month.

its funny, yesterday morning I had lots of creamy cm and the last time I had it that noticable I got my smiley that night.... it was the first month I got a smiley face on CD13, previously it was CD17. but I didnt get a smiley face last night.

I dont like temping, but Im getting used to it and this part is interesting, thank god as the wait is soooooooo boring!! thanks

ahhh that makes sense, my usual time is 8am, but I did have a 9am and a 10am after sleeping in a bit. good to know! and good to know about the temp dip thing. I guess I am waiting for my spike in temp followed by 2 high temps then! and yes, Im only temping to confirm my ovulation sticks, as I want to make sure it looks like I do actually ovulate after the LH surge, as a lot of people dont. thanks for answering!

this is my first time doing the BDing every other night thing. I planned it so that if I get my smiley face on friday I can also do that night as well, just because every other around ovulation seems too little even though Im sure its plenty. if I dont get my smiley face till saturday or get it tonight I will be annoyed as I didnt get to BD the night before!! my FS said to do it every other night, and I know sperm can last up there for days, but around ovulation I get panicy and it seems too far apart! you doing it 3 days in a row is good too, when exactly where the 3 days compared to ovulation for you?

 

[sherylb]

I thought my O was off last time b/c I usually have W or EW CM before O but when I got my it was all creamy the day before.
