Laura, thank God you are ok! I'm so sorry you had a scare. Get lots of rest and hope you are feeling better!

Afm~ still feeling out. I had a temp spike but I have no real symptons just some crampjng which I think is af.

Hope you all are doing well.

Babybemine, are you testing soon? Oh just saw, 11 days left! Fx for bfp's and healthy bubs for everyone!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh lilesmom that sounds pretty scary!!! So pleased you are fine though, and that's such great news about your liver Just take it easy!

Mommylov ooh these last few days are agonising I think you will know more tomorrow. I really have got everything crossed for you, I am hoping so badly to hear some good news from you soon xxx

AFM things are all ok. I'm a little worried for my sister as she has been bleeding They had a scan and the baby was fine and they could see where the bleeding was coming from, but not why it was happening. I just hope it is something that can resolve itself soon - I've heard plenty of people on here talk about blood clots and things that bleed for a while but go away on their own. I hope that is all it is. I know either way she will cope and will get through whatever happens, but I'd rather she wasn't going through it at all

I've not felt any more movement and am doubting the bubbles I felt last week were movement too! I sneezed the other day and I had that bubbly sensation right under my ribcage, so def wasn't baby!! Must just be weird muscle spasms Am getting anxious as the 20 week scan approaches, but bump keeps getting bigger so FX all is ok.

Hope everyone is okay xxx

 

[mommylov]

Smiler, I'm sure everything is ok hun. Keeping everything crossed for you and I hope all is well with your sister. I have heard of women bleeding during pregnancy and it being normal. It doesn't help and always makes you nervous but if drs are saying she and bub are ok, then I'm hoping its something small and will stop soon.

Temp dip for me today so I'm thinking af is just around the corner for me

 

[lilesMom]

amy stupid af, i hope not xxxxxxxx

smiler my sil had bleeding nearly every day in her last 2 preg, she had haematoma and was so worried cos she had 3 mc before, but those 2 kids r now 1.5 and 9 months and perfect i know we all know it can be fine with bleeding, but it is still worrying , its nice to hear of people who had it and were grand xxxx
im grand again today after lots of sleep, just my ears r a bit sore, maybe i have ear infection which caused it, doh

 

[lilesMom]

most people dont feel movement till well beyond 20 weeks , some way beyond
could still hve been movement hon, i felt that bubble feelign early on and was sure it was bub, it was weeks before i felt it again and it was bub, im sure it was

 

[babybemine]

My ticker is off by 2 days. I am almost into my second week. So far so good. Holding off to test as long as I can.

 

[lilesMom]

fx for u babybemine x

 

[mommylov]

FX babybemine!! Hope everyone is doing well!

AFM~ I text my dr this morning and asked her where she wanted us to go from here. I cant believe Im having a hard time getting pregnant now. I just dont understand. I ovulate every month, took Clomid which helped tremendously this month with my progesterone, Bd at the right time, use preseed, and NOTHING! She told me that she wants to up it AGAIN to 150mg! Either she is really wants to get me pregnant to get rid of me as a patient (I would only see her for the 1st tri) or she just really wants me pregnant. Either way works for me so long as I get pregnant. Still waiting for af to show. I havent spotted or anything yet which is strange because I normally do a little. Maybe this is a sign of things looking good in there now? Everytime I want to throw in the towel, I stupidly fall for the next plan and think "Oh this will do it!".

 

[Smiler82]

Wow 150mg! How many rounds of clomid have you done now Mommylov? I heard 3rd and 4th rounds are most successful...have no idea why but 3rd was def lucky for us. I know you're pretty much out of PMA for this cycle but I'm refusing to believe you're out this time till we see more evidence...I hope your temp picks up again tomorrow But not spotting is still a great sign as it means your progesterone levels are better and the longer your LP is the better

Thanks guys, still waiting to hear what is going on with my sis. I don't want to keep bothering her with texts but if I don't hear from her tonight I will ask tomorrow what's going on. I said to my mum I bet it is a haematoma or something similiar and she will be fine. Really hope so!

Lilesmom it's good to know you felt the bubbles then nothing for a while! My friend also said she felt bubbles and reckoned what I felt was the baby too. Just can't wait to feel it regularly!

How are your ears Lilesmom??

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Smiler, Im still hoping that your sis is ok!

This was my second round. She had me on 50mg last month and then 100mg this month. Im waiting for her to call and I was going to ask her why she thinks we need to up it. Last cycle, my follicles measured the same as this month but my progesterone was only at 12.something. This month on 100, follicles were about the same as last month but my I O'd later which I think gave the follicle a chance to get even bigger hence the progesterone level of 26.88! She must have a reason for thinking what she is thinking but I still want to know why she wants to up me. Maybe I just need one more cycle on 100mg? Im ovulating on my own (no trigger) so Im not sure of the logic here but then again Im not a dr.

 

[mommylov]

oye, Dr is out of the office today and said that she meant to say that she would call me tomorrow

 

[lilesMom]

amy , its a hard call. id prob go with what doc says for now and see how it goes.
clomid obvs is doin some good upping ur progesterone, like smielr said maybe it takes a few rounds of clomid to get lucky, cos it may take a few to get optimum levels or something. hoping its obselete due to bfp tomor. not spotting is looking good either way isnt it xxxxxxxxx hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

smiler hope ur sis is good xxx
if they say they know where bleedin is coming from, most likely is heamatoma, common but worrying when it happens, fx she be just great xxxxxxxxxx
does she tak baby aspirin, my sil swears by it, she had 3 mc and 3 kids, all healthy kids she had aspirin xxxxxxxx
com on bubby move for smiler
i was just walking around my supermarket there and had a n elbow or something poking out making it hard to shop wont be long till u have d same its a good problem to have , i still find it funny when that happens
my ears r still at me, im a bit dizzy again this eve, im gonna try go to my doc tomro alright just in case i need antibs xx

hugs nad best wishes to all. xxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

I thought so too but maybe I will spot tonight or tomorrow. If my temp goes down again, then I def would think it will happen quick! I just havent heard of anyone having a temp drop on 13dpo and it end in a bfp so Im not holding hope for this cycle This was my first FULL cycle temping so I dont know what the norm is for me. I know that in the past I have spotted before af came but now that my progesterone was as high as it was, it might take longer for af to come since it might take longer for the progesterone to go down.

 

[lilesMom]

um.. could be flukey temp though, was there anything to upset it??
bad sleep or irregular timing ? xxx
yeah i forgot prog could delay af a little, god its hard to figure it all out.
im still hoping for good news tomo or day after xxxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

Nope, not at all. Took temp at the same time and everything. Just think it isnt my month.

 

[mommylov]

Temp rise this morning but another - HPT. I think my temps are a result of the Crinone. Crinone didnt really affect anything last month but then again I didnt have as high of a 7dpo progesterone level as I did this month. Hoping that will be good news for next month. Also, last month even while on Crinone I still spotted like af was going to come but not this month. Stopped Crinone today so hopefully she comes and we get this over with! With me having a great progesterone level this month, maybe that means everything will be better for next cycle? One can only hope!

Hope you all are doing well!

 

[mommylov]

Just talked to my dr... So she said that because my follicle was a little on the smaller side (1.5cm) this month on cd13, she felt that me going up to 150mg wouldnt hurt anything. I mentioned the fact that my progesterone results came back great this month so what she thought about me just doing 100mg again. So she took another look at my chart and it almost sounded like she had just realized that this was only my 1st month on 100mg and last month was my 1st month on 50mg so she said oh ya you can just due 100mg this month and we'll see what happens. She also said that even though I had a kind of small folli on cd13 that since I didnt O until 2 days later and then my progesterone was 26.88 indicates that I had a good size follicle by the time I did O. She did say that 1.5cm isnt terrible but was the reason why she thought that I would be fine on 150mg and that me not getting pregnant was just a matter of luck . I also asked her why she wanted me to do Clomid vs Femara and she said that she uses Femara for patients that have an endo issue which I dont have so thats why she thinks Clomid is better for me. Also asked about Robbitussin/Mucinex and she said that she had patients ask her about it and that I can take that and it wont hurt anything but that was up to me. She said that there are no scientific solid studies that prove that it works which is why she said its my choice but again that I can take it if I want and it wont hurt anything. So maybe it was just bad luck that we didnt catch the egg this month and we'll see what happens next month. Maybe I was meant to have a christmas baby?

Smiler, I see that you got your BFP on your 3rd round of Clomid. Did you have a similar thing happen to you? Or did they have you on Clomid for other reasons?

 

[lilesMom]

u gonna stick with 100 so hon? prob better id say xx
but still no af , could mean ur not out, guessing is hard, u prob just want af to come now if its gonna xx hope u get ur answer soon but hope its bfp xx

 

[mommylov]

Ya, just gonna stick with the 100mg. Also going to take Angel's suggestion with the Yes Baby lube and Guaifenesin only Robbitussin.

PRAYING this all works!
