September Snugglers 2016

Gina- I know every woman is different, but a friend of mine who gets migraines normally never gets them in pregnancy and said this is common.

I am hoping I don't end up with any migraines. Migraines without medicine would not be fun. So far just headaches.

If you do end up with migraines, I saw aa drug-free tip for how to deal with them - sit with your feet in hot water, leaning over your knees with a pack of frozen peas/whatever across the back of your neck. The heat from the water draws the blood away from your head to relieve the pressure.

For all of you digi watchers! I got mine today at 5w 1d. I got my 2-3 at 17dpo.


Super happy!
Anyone still waiting for their 3+?

Congrats, Luv! That's such a good feeling It was the last test I took- I made it the end of the 1st, scariest stage so far.

Going in for my 8 week appointment today (well, 7 weeks 6 days by lmp). Fingers crossed!

Took my only digi today, came back with an error. The dye never ran across it. So pissed because I've been saving that for a few months. But took a FRER too and it's got like a 9 dpo positive on it where it's basically negative. Not bothering with the doctor as all they will do at this point is a urine test so sitting home all day waiting to start bleeding I've been carrying around my bfp just to remind myself that there was a definite line. Darkest line I have ever gotten but ending the same way. It's just not fair. I had accepted that it was a chemical last week when I bled for 2 days, then I get a definite line 4 days later and get my hopes up all over again just for it to end the same way again. Maybe by some miracle it was a bad test but I doubt it. Sorry to be a downer guys.

I'm so sorry
Not that this is any help right now, but if you call the customer service number on the box for the digi & tell them it was invalid they will send you a new one.

Gina, sorry it's so frustrating. You could always do Requestatest- I don't think they take insurance, but it's about $75 or so and you would have a definitive answer in 1-2 days. I did that the month that I got some really convincing evaporation lines and it helped me move on...

 

[mrs unicorn]

oh Gina, I'm so sorry sweetie sending you lots and lots of luck. I hope you get that sticky bean soon. xx

 

[campn]

Gina- My heart hurts for you. I'm so sorry. I'm glad you really tried to enjoy the time you got with this bean though. Your baby is waiting for you I know it.

 

[LoraLoo]

I'm sorry Gina.

Luv- great digi! I got 3+ at 19dpo so ive stopped testing now!
Any experiences quick stabbing pains? I had some yesterday and scared the hell out of me, it was about 4 quick little stabs in quick succession, then I was a bit crampy in bed. Nothing at all today. Worrying about everything.

 

[campn]

Lora- I used to get those stabbing pains with my son, like you pulled an elastic then let it go over and over, my doctor said its the uterus expanding, round ligament pains it's called. Were you moving a lot when it happened?

I wouldn't worry unless it got so painful!

 

[LoraLoo]

Thanks- hope thats all it was. I had just sat down at my mums house when it happened. It was over in a few seconds but ive been on edge since. Was thinking really positively until then too! X

 

[psychochick]

I'm so sorry Gina. My last cycle was similar in that I was spotting when I got my bfp but I held out hope until I couldn't find a line anymore. And even afterwards I kept looking at my faint bfp and was like, this really happened right? Felt like a dream. if this is not ur sticky bean, next one will be. I believed that for myself and I believe it for you.

Stay positive! I know it's so easy to worry though, for me it depends on the day, if I feel crampy I start worrying so much and go to the bathroom to check for spotting. Getting 3+ on a digital is a very good sign I would say!

Good morning ladies!! I posted on this thread back when I got my BFP but never got added to the front page. I was unsure of my due date at the time but had my first appointment yesterday and dr gave me a September 11th due date based on scan measurement so I'm sticking with that for now. I'd love to join you ladies officially now!

 

[mari35racz36]

Gina - I am so sorry this happened to you. I would call the customer service # on the box and ask them to send another one. I had a chemical back in Jan 2015. I saw a definite line on a frer at 4 weeks. Then at 5 weeks there was no line and AF showed. Really hoping you get you sticky bean soon!! Hang in there

 

[MummaMoo]

Lora, really don't worry! I get crampy/stabby pains, and its getting more often especially when I stand up quick, or am working. With my last pregnancy I was doubled up in pain because of the ligaments etc moving. I went to a walk in centre convinced I had a bladder infection, but no, it was all very normal.

 

[mari35racz36]

Lora - I have had so many of those crampy painful twinges. It is so scary but I am sure it is our ligaments stretching. I had on the other day while driving and it startled me how strong it was.

Luv - Yay for the digi!! Always nice to see 3+

 

[MummaMoo]

Gina, so sorry about what's happening. If there's any consolation, ladies are meant to be very fertile following a chemical. I had my chemical at the end of October, had a normal month and got lucky the following cycle. Fingers crossed you get your sicky bean soon!

 

[mari35racz36]

My lower back muscles and hips have been sore for a few days now. Feels like I just did a huge work out and then all my muscles were sore after. But I haven't exercised since geting my BFP. I just feel achy. Anyone else feel like this? I had to take a Nausea pill last night because I couldn't keep anything down. I'm not sure it even worked, or maybe it takes a few doses. But the meds did make me fell more tired. I have my first prenatal appt tomorrow and hoping all goes well.
