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

Yeah it would be weird, not sure how I would feel about it. I would def be over the moon to be pregnant again though. But you're right, you miss them regardless of dates eh xxx

I'm a little confused today; I had put my OPK as positive for CD14 and CD15. When I put in today's temp, FF said I ovulated on CD14!! But I'm not totally sure if my opk on CD14 was def positive. If I remove all my OPKs then it will give me CD16 as my ovulation day. Argh!

 

[Hopeful335]

Sounds tricky Smiler?? Sometimes with opk you catch end of surge so cd14 might have been ov day?? Keep temping see how it goes.

I had my scan today and we saw our baby measuring 8w1d with a heartbeat!! Yey!! Very excited. Slight dampened put on it by fact I also have a 'extra chorionic haemorrhage' which is a small bleed in my uterus, though outside gest sac so should not affect baby bug my mean I get blood/spotting. But they're gonna re scan again in two weeks to check all still okay! Yey!

Feel mych better and I truly swear the angel cards helped!! Lilesmom how are you? Discoria? Withlovemom? Any news.

Smiler I've got everything crossed for you. I know it is such a strange time for you and I'm truly thinking of you. Take care and keep PMA - hard I know I really struggle x x x

 

[Smiler82]

Hopeful I am SO relieved to hear your scan went well! Well, ok the small bleed is not great, but at least it has been noticed so you are prepared. I've not experienced it myself but I've heard about it before; apparently it is quite common. Great that they're going to keep an eye on you

Yeah the temps will reveal all I'll just keep charting - they have been a bit higher the last few days but we've got the heating on all the time now so I'm paranoid it's that and not ovulation giving me high temps! I am feeling pretty positive right now...but just wait and see how I am at the latter stages of the 2WW haha

Discoria did you test? What news? x

I work nights so my hours are screwed up as to when my morning is. Sometimes it is at 5pm and other times when I am not working for a few days I go into day time hours. When should I be checking temp. Is OPK more reliable?

um..... maybe just throw in a few more BD just in case, whats today cd17?
but doesnt the opk pre empt Ov by a bit. it should be pos 12-36/48 hrs before Ov me thinks. im not sure if its 36 or 48 is top end so i put um both
so long as u Bd a bit around these days u will have a great chance anyway to catch that pesky eggy xxxxxxxxx
its more important to BD before oV than after but i always throw in a few after just in case, its a bit later than i thought

 

[lilesMom]

hopeful im so happy for u sweetie xxxxx
thats great news xxx i know it will be worrying if u have spotting but thank god u know what would cause it if u do now and u dont ahve to be worried it the baby. xxxx
my SIl had big haematoma with 2 of her kids and bled every day and those 2 kids r perfect. xxxx was very worrying at the time but thank god alls well xxxxxxxxxx
they r 15 months and 5 months now
that is so nice angel cards helped u, i love them xxxxxxxx
so happy for u honey. u knwo ur risk factor has gone down sooooo much now xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[lilesMom]

if u have irratic sleeping and waking temping is not supposed to be great xx maybe opks be better for u. but i havent temped myself so someone else may say different . but i do know conditions r meant to be the same for temping. same time of day , right after u wake up before u get out of bed r do anything at all. any movement will alter ur temp. xx

It will be harder, but still possible. I think you should use OPKs too though so you've got more information. If it helps, I copied this from Fertility Friend re temping whilst working nights:

It is not impossible to take your BBT if you work shifts, but it will be more challenging. Take your temperature at the time you wake up when you are most likely to have had the most sleep. Be as consistent as you can. On your days off, take your temperature after you wake up as well, even if it is at a different time. Make a note on your chart of changes in your waking schedule. You may take your temperature in the afternoon before you go to work if that is your usual waking time and the time after which you are most likely to have had the most sleep. It is not useful to take your temperature when you are already awake and active.

 

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom yeah we're having a break from DTD today since we just did it 3 days in a row and DH needs time to regenerate But we will carry on from tomorrow just in case. I think it's prob more likely that I o'd on CD16. Yeah am CD17 now, feeling pretty excited xx

 

[Hopeful335]

Yey all everyone sounding happy! I'm really crossing my fingers for you Smiler!!!!

Babybemine I think temping can work for you like Smiler has copied from ff above as long ad you've had a god 3-5 hrs solid sleep it doesn't really matter when you wake. On hol I did it and they were fairly similar & I've been temping and opk'in for over a yr now! Also if you use fertility friend you can use the temp adjust feature to help you sometimes!

How are you Lilesmom-your so busy thinking about all of us how are you?? Thank you do much for telling me about your sil it madee feel better. Hospital seemed chilled they gave me a leaflet that said there was nothing I could do and it shouldn't cause any probs but just to avoid bd for a bit!! To be honest I'm do knackered I'm in bed for 9-9:30 so we've not bd in weeks-no danger of that at min!!!

Been sicky, v sore boobs and v tired today-love it!! Makes me feel better feeling crap! Seeing little one and knowing it had gone from 2mm to 17mm was ace!! Roll on 2 weeks for next scan! Plus as I've got past bean's 6w5d like mmc I feel better!

Lilesmom and Smiler you've been ace!! x x

 

[Hopeful335]

Ps Angel cards have made me feel better!!

 

[Hopeful335]

Sorry re read some of my posts and some of my typing makes no sense today-apologies!! x x

 

[lilesMom]

smiler u have earned ur rest fx for u sweetie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hopeful its really a weight off ur mind to see baby doin well on the scan isnt it, xxx
the body usually just reabsorbs those little bleeds doesnt it. our bodies can do so much, we need to trust um again, i know they let us down before but they have learned their lesson now
im so much better since my scan last sat, im startin to believe this is for real now
i even had a little nerves at thought of birth yest, ha ha , def sign im startin to believe it
we have only bd once since i got preg for a good while i was afraid to and then i got so as i was feeling sicky and gassy all d time ad didnt want to. im still kinda thiking maybe not much bd till after 12 weeks , 12 weeks is my magic date ha ha
il be able to do loads on that day ha ha
i had lovely halloween, i went to my parents house and lots of my nieces and nephews were there, kids r just so funny, they r the best entertainment xxxx

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry re read some of my posts and some of my typing makes no sense today-apologies!! x x

i didnt even notice babe, i do that all the time, i try to type too fast for myself and end up with typos xxx

 

[Smiler82]

Aw Hopeful it's so lovely to hear you so happy You really deserve this happy time

You too Lilesmom, you've both been fab. This thread def keeps my spirits up

Glad you had a fun Hallowe'en I think I would be the same re BD, wouldn't really want to get up to anything much til after 12 weeks. I think once you're further into your pregnancy don't your hormones make you more, um, excitable shall we say?! So hopefully there are some fun times ahead, lol.

I got a HUGE temp rise this morning - prob still influenced by the heating, but still I'm confident I have o'd now Pretty sure it was CD16 so I am 2 dpo now. Eeep!

 

[DiscoRia]

Hey ladies, I am keeping up with you all, but only have my phone for internet, so likely won't be posing much as I hate typing on it

I'm glad to hear that you're all doing well! AF was due today but didn't show, my spotting is still here, still super light and more like light brown tinged ewcm than anything else. Preg tests are all coming up negative, so I figure AF will likely just show late.

I'm just going you wait it out. We're in the mountains for the long weekend, so at least I have the beauty of nature to distract me

 

[lilesMom]

woo hoo smiler fx for u xxxxxxx
u too disco ria, hope its bfp and not af u get xxxxxxxxxxxxx
and to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Discoria I do hope it's not AF on the way...how are you doing today? Hope you're enjoying time in the mountains.

Thanks lilesmom FF has confirmed ovulation at CD16 now so I'm happier with that, as we DTD days 10, 12, 14, 15 and 16 so hopefully we are covered. 3 dpo now and plan to test a week on Wednesday. A million years away!

How are you pregnant ladies feeling?! Hope you are starting to enjoy it xxx

 

[babybemine]

11DPO based of ff. imagination going crazy with positive thinking that any signs could be indicative of a BFP. To scared to test since not time to miss AF.

Have had all sort of symptoms but they could be indicative of other stuff.



Pink smear on wipe...(have had before in previous cycles with no BFP)

Vivid dreams an 3 occasions (Not common for me but has occurred in previous cycles)

craving salty (once again not often for me but not uncommon)

pain in groin area (occurs every now and then)

Lots of cramping this cycle but have been constipated ((tmi)) ( could be due to constipation)

Constipation

Poor sleep/insomnia (waking up for some reason (cat, text message, having to urinate) when I normally would sleep through it and staying awake even after only getting 2 hours sleep.

lower backache (I wourk on my feet for 12 hours a day...could happen)

increased appetite (with poor sleep schedule, I am up more hours and thus hungry when I would normally be sleeping)

Stuffy (hx of poor sinus but with weather change....could screw with sinus)

Heartburn/acid reflux

New medications (prenatal with DHA) and ranatadine

Every new symptom that I might get I relate it to others and whether it could be a pregnancy symptom.

I am tired and just want to know but scared to take a test and find BFN

 

[Smiler82]

Aww hun it totally does drive you mad eh. It's just such a pain that PMS and early pregnancy symptom are so similar, and usually, as you say, many symptoms can be attributed to other stuff going on in your life so it's really hard to tell.

I think if you're scared to test, then don't. 11 dpo could still be too early for a bfp if you are pregnant, so it will just upset you unnecessarily. I know the final days of the 2WW go super slowly but maybe wait til your AF is definitely late before testing.

I'm only 3dpo, I know I'm going to be analysing EVERYTHING in the coming week...

Chin up hun xx
