i know how u feel hopeful, this scan i just had was after lile stopped growing so it does make me feel better, it is lovely to have reassurance of a scan enjoy wed xxxx
the hosp put me back 5 days as well hon when i had first scan and now yest baby was only a day off my dates, its hard for them to be so accurate when its so small . like the scan lady said to me yest, at my last scan if they left a mm off the measurement it could change my date by days cos its so small at that stage xxx

smiler thanks, had lovely sleep, im 9 weeks today
thats good with ur opks gettin darker , good sign of approaching Ov
least it is still not gonna be too late for u this month. if u do get pos opk though, dont stop doing opks after, cos 2 of the girls on my other thread , had like a second surge.
sometimes the egg fails to release the first time and ur body gears up and releases it later . so on opks it looks like u Ov twice but first time u dont actually Ov. xx
not sayin it will happen u but in case it does i dont want u to miss this month cos of it xxxxxxxxxxx best o luck sweetie xxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks lilesmom yeah I never did OPKs before as I know having PCOS can give you multiple surges so whilst,I'm hopeful am trying to keep that thought in the back of my mind. Am still temping so til I get a rise we will keep at it

Glad you had a good sleep xx

 

[lilesMom]

thats great that u know that smiler so u wont miss ur chance xxxxxx
fx for u xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Ooh I am so excited! I think I've got +OPK....am going to try and upload some pics and you ladies can tell me what you think. The one I did just now is looking pretty good, though the right side of the test line isn't as dark as the left side - am I being too picky?

Doc said we only need to DTD every other day but I just told DH we're def doing it again tonight haha

 

[Smiler82]

Oh forgot to ask - do you think it looks like CD14 was + too or is it still too faint?

 

[lilesMom]

the right hand side is the control isnt it? its suposoed to be lighter for pos,
def looks like pos sweetie xxxx
happpy bd

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks! Yeah the line on the right is the control line, sorry what I meant was just looking at the test line, the left side of the test line is slightly darker than the right side of the test line. Getting a bit anal about it all lol

 

[lilesMom]

it looks darker to me hee hee
enjoy BD ha ha

 

[Smiler82]

Haha thank you!!

 

[lilesMom]

Oh forgot to ask - do you think it looks like CD14 was + too or is it still too faint?

i missed this for some strange reason, im not sure really it is a bit fainter looking isnt it? hard to tell from photos sometimes xxx

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks Yeah I think it's a bit lighter. Yest I thought it might be positive but now today's is darker I don't think it was. We DTD yesterday though so we should be covered anyway

I am feeling really crampy, like AF is on the way or something. I hope it's a sign of a nice strong ovulation

How are you feeling today anyway? xx

 

[Hopeful335]

Smiler they would be a pos iny world!! You are lucky to get that. Mine swing from negative to positive with pretty much nothing in between. They've given you time to dtd!! I had to learn to read cm and cramps etc to get dtd cos the months we dtd too often we didn't drop on so we tried to dtd as close as poss!

But go girl (in fact I hope you're not reading this but dtd)! X x

I'm on count down again. I'm so nervpusr like 2 weeks ago all
over again? If I get through Wed with good news I'll have passed the date i lost my first little bean at 6w5 through mmc. Keepingysf busy and trying to stay calm but is v hard! Symptoms wax and wane. Stronger/weaker! I enjoy days where I feel crappy!!

Don't laugh daren't tell anyone else but I ordered a doppler and tried to use it tonight. It failed which at 7-71/2 weeks is prib not surprising but was hoping by some miracle I'd be able to do what midwifed cant this early-stupid I know!! Just I hope I do get to use ASAP!!!

How's everyone else doing?? x x x x

 

[lilesMom]

hurray smiler, im keeping my fx for u xxx

hopeful i been thinking the same about the doppler, when can they hear on the doppler, my sis has one, im gonna be borrowing it but im not sure, is it 10 weeks?
thats whats in my head but i donno if im wrong xxx
ur not silly at all , just looking for reassurance like us all xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Hopeful it's not silly to have bought a doppler If it's going to make you feel better once you're at a stage where the heartbeat can be heard then no problem How are you feeling today hun? I bet the nerves are getting to you Just know I am thinking of you and wishing so hard for everything to be looking lovely tomorrow xxx

Thanks both for all your advice on OPKs I took one again today and it's definitely negative. Is it ok to only have 1 day of +?

Last night around 7 I started getting pinching pains in my right, which got worse and worse as the evening went on. We DTD last night but it was actually quite painful I'm fine today though. It's weird because on my scan it was the left ovary that had the biggest follicle. So now I'm worrying I've got a cyst or something and it's going to ruin everything haha! Where has my PMA gone...

 

[lilesMom]

thats totally normal hon to only have one day thats why u often see people paranoid they missed it,
i never got Ov pain before loss and i got it 2 cycles after . so id say its prob just ur body gettin back to normal. could the clomid cause the pain., it does have side effects doesnt it. not sure what they r though . xx

hopeful enjoy ur scan tomor, hope u get some sleep tonight xxx

 

[Smiler82]

Yeah I guess it could be the clomid causing a 'better' ovulation. I don't often get discomfort at ovulation to have real pain is confusing. It's been exactly a year since I last fell pregnant so it's probably not anything to do with the miscarriages. Would be so weird if I got pregnant this cycle as the conception and due dates would be identical...

Hopeful let us know how you get on tomorrow, thinking of you x

 

[lilesMom]

smiler maybe it s the clomid so, soz didnt realise it was a yr so should be nothing to do with mc xxxxxxx
fx for u this month, that would be cool, wow same months would be good and bad i suppose xxx good cos u get bfp and babies share dates but prob be a bit sad for u. xxx but i think we will always miss um anyway xxxxxxxxxx

 

[babybemine]

Good luck girls, it will happen, its only taken away if YOU give up

I took 4 cycles to conceive last time and am close to ov so expect af in 2 weeks to start cycle 5.

I am repeating what i did last time inc using soy so hope its not too long before i get my bfp and that it sticks this time xxx

What is the info on the soy. I am new to TTC and can use all the tips and fairy dust.

 

[lilesMom]

hi babybemine, bump2baby hasnt been on in ages hon, soz.
its meant to help regulate ur hormones for Ov i think, but i never took it or researched it cos i have low thyroid and im not supposed to have soya stuff so i didnt bother looking into it, xxx
best of luck, google it if someone here doesnt have an answer for u hon xxxx

 

[Smiler82]

babybemine - I haven't taken soy either but from what I've heard, people refer to it as "nature's clomid" so I think it works in a very similar way. I think you take it for five days on either CD2-6, CD3-7 or CD5-9. It should regulate things in the same way as clomid and hopefully give you an earlier ovulation. I think it's only recommended if you have problems with your cycles; if you are regular it could do more harm than good. Im' not sure though, it's probably worth doing a search on the forum (there's a Search function at the top of the page in the purple banner) as there have been many conversations on here about it!
