Wow lilesmom you are pretty well set up at home then eh! Yeah I think the pregnancy fitness classes at my gym only take you after 12 weeks if you have a history of mc.

Chocolate always sneaks in for me too

Meditation class sounds lovely

 

[Smiler82]

Ooh Discoria I just read Lilesmom's post for you! That whole thing about timing sounds good, like how you just timed it all perfectly by catching ov!

Anytime I do a 3 card spread, the third card is always the wedding card! I don't get it, I'm already married My SIL is getting married next summer but I don't know why it would keep coming up. It says it could be something to do with business too, but that's boring haha

 

[lilesMom]

smiler i kept gettin the marriage card too for ages
and i didnt know why im not married but i dont wanna be, we r together nearly 11 yrs and happy as we r but it can be ur male and female energies being 'married' or it can just be a new begining or like u said new work partnership. or can just be a wedding in the family r something.

 

[lilesMom]

i feel crappy again today, my cat has worms. pukesville.
i just dosed him and savloned my house but now im stuck in my bedroom cause the rest of the house is giving me the hibeejibees
i went to chemist and they said if i wasnt preg i should have de-wormer just in case but cos i am i cant . its not that easy for humans to get um but now im para yucky and double yucky.

 

[Smiler82]

Ewwww!! I am not an animal person haha. Sounds like you've done a good job on sorting it all out though and have disinfected the house well. How do humans catch them?! It's not like you lick your cat or anything (or do you lol)

Male and female energies 'marrying'...like a sperm and an egg???

thats so funny i didnt even think of that , i have stopped gettin it since i got preggers, cool. i hadnt even thought of it from that point of view but so right cool. i was a bit baffled by it

only sometimes if he asks nicely Joke
if u handle litter tray a dont wash properly , havent been near it since tryin anyway. but u can get it from rubbing the cats and then not washing and eating too, which i prob have done at some stage. cos he is an indoor/outdoor cat so he sits with us on d couch and i be rubbing him and then he fecks off out, if its agood while till i eat , i just might not have washed my hands. ugghhh. im paranoid
but everywhere on internet said its pretty hard for humans to catch um but the girl in vets shop said it isnt that hard with acat so i donno what to ebelieve.
im not allowed take de wormer anyway so wil just have to keep my eyes open and hope i caught kitty in time.
i usually am an animal person but not feeling very fuzzy feelings towards him at the mo even though its not his fault

Have you! That's so weird, and interesting!! I only just thought of it, after you said you kept getting it. It's been puzzling me for ages, the book I've got says about the m/f energies but I just didn't get it. Hopefully this is what it means!!

LOL

But that's good you've been avoiding the litter tray for a long while, and I'm sure ALL cat owners stroke them then don't wash their hands before eating, if it were really that easy for humans to catch it then we'd all hear about it a lot more. When it comes to information, I usually go for the majority vote! So if you've read 10 webpages that say it's hard to catch it, but 1 person says it isn't hard to catch it, I'd go with the internet. But still keep my distance for a while!

 

[lilesMom]

thansk hon thats reassuring, ive been avoiding the poor boy like the plague, he is so baffled as to why im being horrible i think
hope ur keeping well honey and tww is flying xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Aww bless him! He'll get over it

2WW not flying at all, this is possibly the slowest one ever. My temps are looking pretty much the same as last cycle so starting to lose hope I can't help but tell myself that if I don't 'just know', then I can't be pregnant, iykwim.

Discoria, Hopeful - how are you guys? x

 

[lilesMom]

sorry hon i donno why i sadi that,tww never flys
it is a long torturous 2 weeks, blast it . hope it doesnt crawl by too slowly is what i meant xxxxxxx and fx for good news at the end of it xxxxxxxxx
u aint out till shows her ugly mug xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Smiler82]

Aw I know what you meant lilesmom

I am driving myself crazy now - I can't remember if I said this to you guys but I was hoping for a dip in my chart. 6DPO, the postman banged on the door about an hour before I usually temp and without thinking I leapt out of bed, ran down the stairs and then back up again. So that day's temp was totally wrong. This morning, I took my temp then thought, I wonder how much it'll change by if I leap up and run downstairs and back again. So that's what I did

The temp difference was nearly 2 degrees, so if I adjust 6dpo's temp by the same amount, it gives me my dip!

I know this is TOTALLY stupid and if someone else wrote this I would be telling them you shouldn't bother adjusting temps as once that day is gone it's gone, you'll never know. But we do like to torture ourselves don't we....

How is everyone else? I'm off for a couple of days so won't catch up with you ladies til next week. Hope you all have a lovely weekend xxxx

 

[Hopeful335]

Hey ladies. Smiler have a nice few days away! I've been so busy at work then just getting home and sleeping! It's been nice to not stress too much about preg because today when I've got some time on my hands all I do is worry!! I'm around 9 1/2 weeks-scan we'd and I'm looking forward to it -hopefully it will be good news!!!!!!!!

Lilesmom how are you? How's it all going -are you around 11 weeks now? Is it your 12 week scan soon? When/if did your symptoms start lessening. My 'main' ones have eased up a bit -nausea, sore boobs. Still get some but not as much/milder. Ice had other diff ones to last time, cramping, still v tired most days, emotional, headaches. Anyway hope your well?

Doing anything nice for weekend? What did dpc say re work? I've tried to re read posts/keep up with but not sure if I've missed!

How's everyone else discoria? Babybemine? Withlovemom? x x

 

[babybemine]

Life is ok. Back to OPK testing. On CD 7. Bought a new brand..Answer. I think I liked the digital Response kind better but we shall see. Started drinking some whole milk. If it is supposed to help then i guess I can put up with it.

Congrats to the BFP

 

[lilesMom]

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom did you ring your work? I hope they agree to your doc's plan, I don't see how they can't. If they refused would you have to quit??!

Hopeful did you say your scan is Wednesday? Good luck

AFM I am a little down today And I'm going to write a lot about me, lol.

I'm 13dpo and my temp dropped to below the coverline. I'm so confused though - last night I was SO hot and woke up absolutely dripping with sweat, yuk. So to see my temp drop so much was a real shock. Normally I see it start to fall before AF, but it never goes below the coverline til after AF is finished.

And yesterday (12dpo) I decided to check my cm...sorry for the TMI here!!! But I was quite excited when I realised my cervix was fairly high, feeling soft and closed. I usually check it a day or 2 before AF and it's normally low, hard and def open. But then I realised that there was pink blood in my cm Again, this is different from normal as when I spot before AF it is brown. I thought maybe it was something to do with the fact that on Saturday (11dpo) I walked at least 5 miles, prob more, all round London. Was on my feet all day and totally shattered and aching all over after. Was a great day

I also had some pain yesterday (12dpo) I was lying on my back on the sofa watching the telly and my lower abdomen really started to ache in one spot, like there was something heavy pulling my insides down. When I shifted it helped, but it was really sore. I wonder if that was anything to do with the bleeding...

But anyway, I must be out and should stop agonising over these things. If anyone else came on here with spotting and temp dips I would be telling them AF is most likely on the way.

And then - to top it off - After I took my temp I went back to sleep and I dreamt DH told me he didn't want to have kids anymore and wanted to stop TTC!

The stupid thing is even though I am going to have one of my shortest cycles ever, it feels like one of the longest! This 2WW has been the slowest ever!

 

[Hopeful335]

Oh Smiler honey don't get yourself all worried. Remember you're not out till she shows!! How far below cover line? I had a temp dip to 98 (from 98.7-cover line 97.7) at 12 dpo and I was preg! You just don't know. It's all a waiting game hon. I know you feel rubbish I've been there.

Remember a dream is just a dream also I've had some really odd ones! DH and you are together in this. Tell him how your feeling! Have you tested yet? If you are out at least your out early 13dpo is better than waiting to 16/17 then being out! The pulling sounds good though-I've had/get that all the time this preg and never had before! Im thinking of you and crossing my fingers!

Yeah scan Wed, very nervous already- trying to be pos but so hard after mmc. I just get do worried even though I've seen heartbeat at 8 weeks I read that, that is when lists go as its when placenta starts to take over! I'm such a worry wort! X x

 

[Hopeful335]

Oh and the bleeding-I dOnt know that's a strange one?? X

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks so much Hopeful Well just to be awkward, I did temp over an hour earlier than normal as DH had to be up early for work. My coverline is 36.39 and my temp was below it at 36.30. If I adjust the temp for time, it could really have been 36.40. So that would only be just above the coverline. Hearing yours dropped so much has given me a little hope

I was hoping the pink in my cm could either be something to do with late implantation or possibly just a hormonal fluctuation that would sort itself out if I was preg. Have also heard of people spotting/light bleeding around the expected time of AF....so many things to hope for, lol. I haven't tested yet. I was going to wait til next week but if I'll see what happens in the next couple of days. If AF shows properly then fine, but if things are still confusing I'll test.

Hon I'm not surprised you're worrying after your experience, I would too Chances are all in your favour at the mo tho I know that won't stop you worrying! Just got to take a deep breath and try to keep yourself calm...is there anything you can do to try and take your mind off it for a few hours here and there? We're all behind you xxx
