nice pics flying !!

AFM, i simply hate the fact that my ticker is not true and that the truth is bubs is almost 6 days behind, and i thought i was 20 weeks when clearly i was 19 + 1 according to measurements. so since the day of the scan, yesterday was my actual 20 week mark. im kinda upset about this because i feel like i am lagging behind and that bubs is not growing, it shows on my ticker that im 21 weeks tomorrow, but its all my LMP. not the actual growth. even according to my dating scan at 12 weeks, i am 20 + 1 today

hi everyone

love the pictures flying, I need to take more photos of my pets.

dew totally understand you wanting to remain anonymous. Im pretty private usually too but seeing as no-one lives near me I dont mind. however I am now praying even harder you get a BFP this cycle so I can catch a glimpse!!!

babyhopes I dont know much about measurements and things, but is 6 days behind a big thing then? or was it just the previous dates were wrong and now its right?

hope everyone else is doing well and NY that your tummy is behaving!!

AFM 3 pills down, just 2 to go! I feel great, Im still waiting for some horrible side effect to strike me down but I dont feel any different I had prepared myself mentally and purposely done it this month as I dont have much work on, and when I found out they were giving me 100mg (instead of 50mg like most people start at) I was thinking oh no its going to be bad!! Im glad she started me at that, as so many people try 50mg and it doesnt work from reading in the assisted conception folder.

I cannot wait until friday to see what follicles there are, thats sooo interesting to me and Im glad I have something to do during this annoying wait for ov. I hope the 100mg hasnt stimulated me too much and I will have too many follicles!

in-laws and cousins are coming over for a BBQ today, lots to do, talk later

 

[sherylb]

I expect our baby to be 6 days behind b/c I ovulate late in my cycle but I got tired of using 2 sets of dates so I am just sticking with LMP. As long as the baby measures within a week it's supposed to be insignificant according to my doctor on about every test I have had. I think the 6 days is not worth stressing over. I don't know how bad stress if for the baby but it can not be helping that your stress levels have been so high your entire pregnancy.

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah,none of the dates are wrong actually it could be a number of things, like sheryl said it could be due to late ovulation, its just that when you see your ticker everyday and think you are measuring 20 + 6 or whatever and truth is you are actually behind, its not nice, thats all, it makes me feel like im lagging behind, but my docs arent concerned either ! its just that my due date keeps changing and you do wish you are further along than you really are because it seems like a very long time and that you are stuck in that week if you know what i mean.

yay for not getting any side effects, thats a great thing ! enjoy your bbq.. xx and cant wait to hear about friday's appointment.

sheryl, thanks for the advice, it does make me feel better.xx i dont know when i ov'd actually.

 

[Dew]

Preethi, I agree with Sheryl. One of my friends also had EDD difference of 1 week in 12 week and 20 week scan. I would also suggest to relax more, spend fun time with friends, play games, do craftwork/painting/shopping etc (whatever interests you) so your mind is distracted from PG worries. I know it is easy to say than do as it is the most significant event of your life right now. Try to relax and be happy. We are wishing well for you

 

[babyhopes2323]

thanks dew, im not stressing overboard, but i know what you mean. xxx hope you and sarah get your bfp's soon. xx

 

[flyingduster]

Preethi, if your ticker is annoying you with the wrong dates, then go and change them to the dates that match your scans, so you don't feel like you're behind!!! It's more likely the scans are about right if they all have said 6 days earlier, especially if you don't know when you ovulated... If I went by my LMP I'd be a full 7-8 days ahead of where I *actually* am because I have a longer cycle! It's only because I KNOW when I ovulated that I know my LMP dates would be wrong.

So go and change your tickers over to 6 days earlier and then you'll feel better about seeing them cos they'll be right then... You can keep a quiet track of where you are according to your LMP if you want to, but not have to see it every day when you log in here...?


Sarah, yay for no side effects! FX the rest all goes smoothly too!

 

[nypage1981]

Preethi mine is a week behind lmp also. But found that out at 6 weeks so I've always gone by that date not my lmp. So yea, I would just change your ticker so we know when to celebrate!

Dew sometimes when I put something in here that shows my life I feel akward cuz we are in the same state. I wish I were more private really. Internet can be bad news!

Sarah that's so good that clomid isn't affecting you badly. Now let's hope it affects you in a good way! Will they give scan pics of your follicles Friday you think?

I'm at work every day but wed again this week and up at 5 am so may not be a frequent flyer but will try to check in. Doctor on my day off, probably nothing too exciting it's a 22 week check.

 

[nypage1981]

Flying the pic of your cat reminds me of funny emails I get of animals being silly. That's a good one. I forgot to mention, we had a sad day yesterday. We went to a pet shop to get food and I found a cat I reeeeeeeeeally clicked with, like needed to have. I know I can't have it and when we left I broke down in the parking lot and started crazy sobbing. Embarrassing, yes. I couldn't contain it I am still just so sad for the cat like I let it down

Later I took Ella to a carnival and won her a gold fish. She was so darn proud and named him little fish. Well after about 5 hours we came back home from dinner and he was already dead she cried herself to sleep and was so sad. I just feel so awful about it all. Sigh.

 

[babyhopes2323]

well then when i went to my ob gyn, he said he would not go by my scan dates that ive had just now. so that means, he isnt sure himself ! and that the scan dates are not accurate right now at 20 weeks .

because he thought he was giving me an anatomy scan but i measured behind and when i asked he said well i wouldnt go by this i would go by your dating scan. and tbh, i cant remember now what my dating scan actually said, so ill just wait to be measured again and go by those calculations probably. lets say next tuesday anyway, im going to be measured so will change it then .

i was not using opk's so i dont know when i ovulated. i have a very long cycle too flying. i really wasnt sure when af was going to show.

anyway, have a good day everyone !! xx

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

that sounds like a good plan preethi, go from the next measurements. are you only going to the female doctor now or still both? Im sure all the measurements are fine and lil preethi is growing into a beautiful bubs

how is everyone else?

I just have one lot of clomid to go tonight and thats it! had zero side effects, it has seemed too easy. we will see if ovulation is more extreme this time though (keep waiting for something to happen). I cant wait till friday to see what follicles I have!

 

[Dew]

Hi everyone

Sarah, I checked your BD plan, looks good to me. If you see a smiley on 14 then BD again 14 in PM and 15 PM otherwise skip 14 and continue with every other day plan until you see a smiley....I think this is what they call as SMEP plan. Glad you have no side effects from Clomid, really looking forward to your Friday scan...hope so much that you get your BFP in first Clomid attempt

NY, so sorry about the cat and fish and too sad both incidents happened around same time. however I am glad you are feeling better healthwise

Hope everyone is doing great! Have a great week!

thanks dew! yes I will wait and see when my smiley comes, Ive had it anywhere from CD13-17, I read clomid can prolong ovulation, but seeing as the other side effects havent been true for me Im not believing that either. It hasnt made my temps go weird either. I said this month I was sticking to every other day, but I know I will cave in and do everyday when I see the + ov test!
keeping my fingers crossed for you! when is your period due?

awwwww thats so sad! me having 3 cats and 3 dogs Im such a suck for animals that need a home!

and poor ella too...perhaps you could at a later stage buy a fish from a proper store, one with a long life span? I remember my cat being put down around her age, I was so sad but at least it teaches you about love and life

 

[Dew]

I think AF is due on 21st.

 

[sherylb]

Baby, I could have sworn you said the baby was within 1 day when you did your dating scan. Scans this far in are not suppose to be accurate b/c the babies grow at slightly different rates.

 

[babyhopes2323]

whats within one day sheryl ? sorry i didnt get you. do you mean i said there was one day difference in measurements at the dating scan?

at the dating scan i was supposedly due on the 28th of october. but i cant tell what that makes me now.

i know that the current measurements are not going to be accurate, i was meaning that i would ask the doc about this on my next visit.xx

sarah, im still going to both well basically next tuesday dh will get to meet the lady doc and then we will make a decision, he has left it more to me, but i am unable to and am still stuck as to whom to go to !!

FX'D this cycle of clomid brings out your good eggs for dh's spermies !!

Ny, sorry i missed that bit on your previous post, sad the fish died, kids can be so emotional about these things, poor ella. xxx

hope everyone is doing ok, ive got the worst backache on the planet.

sheryl, josh sounds really good !! cant wait to know what youre having.

 

[sherylb]

I was pretty sure you said the baby was measuring one day off from lmp date.

 

[nypage1981]

Hi!

Well we got over the fish but I'm still sad for the cat. I just want it so much but then I come home and see animal fur covering everything and floating in the air and change my mind. Lol.

Preethi sounds confusing to how far you are! Make sure to ask doctor next week. I am nervous to be measured and weighed on wed since I'm ballooning out very fast. I try to stay in check but getting big! Have you thought of burly names yet?

Sarah yay for getting through clomid! I did an hsg today on a woman on clomid too and hers was perfectly fine too. The specialist who does those at my work suggests ultrasound cd 11 or 12 I think while on clomid to check follicles. How many days will you be? Hope they're good ones. Ever consider an hsg, it helps with fertility in a lot of cases it's all a woman needs.

Dew had you ever been offered an hsg? Sometimes with age our tubes just get "clogged" and hsg can work to clear them and make you super fertile for a few cycles to follow it. Just a thought! Wish you could get bfp this cycle though and get that sticky bean.

How's everyone else doin?
