Nell, congrats again on the heartbeat! Lovely to be able to hear!
Soili, I am sorry about AF, but love how positive you are, and I got the exact same thing at the start of every cycle. We are weird. 28 days is brilliant!
Katie, that many follicles is really amazing. Youre fertile, lady! Thats for sure! I hope that you put your feet up with a nice valpolicella. Now that I know more about clomid, I wouldnt go on it again without being monitored, and thats not an option here.
MrsPTTC, hope all goes well with you this cycle!! Whoohoo, getting ready for a positive OPK!! Has your CM changed?
Jellycat, the increased CM is always a good sign.
Dreaminghopin, my spotting got worse after I started to TTC. I dont know if it was more pressure, or me paying attention more, but there were a few cycles, particularly when I travelled alot, when I had more spotting than I was used to.
MrsHY, thanks for the congrats
I think its hilarious about getting the injections in all places! In a comedy club! We really have no clue whats going on in the stalls next to us, eh? Hahaha
..good luck with the scan, will be rooting for you.
almostthere, fx no more spotting for you!!
AFM
.phew, thats quite a bit of catching up to do! Well, I took the digital test on Saturday morning, which is what DH and I were waiting on to say YES WE ARE PREGNANT, and youll never guess what happened. It turns out, on the journey from the UK to Papua New Guinea, our little test sent by a friend, must have gotten knocked around a bit, as only HALF the screen worked! So all we got to see was a little 2-3+. Ill try to attach the pic here. That was a bit anti-climatic. No words that said pregnant. No words at ALL. I've never heard about that happening with a digi before, have you?
So
.we decided to go to the hospital to get a blood test done. Two hospitals and one medical clinic later, we had exhausted all medical care options in Port Moresby - none of them do blood tests! They will draw it, and when thy have enough samples, send it to Australia, which takes two weeks to return the results...they only diagnose pregnancy with urine tests.
So...after a discussion with a doctor at the clinic, she suggested we do an u/s. I though it might be a bit early, since this isnt even a trans-vaginal ultrasound. After turning on the power, she did an abdominal scan, with DH there, and she had some problems finding anything, but did check my tubes (clear) then said she found a sac, very very small, and then she started talking about how at this stage, I shouldnt feel bad if AF shows up, because its tiny, but still to keep hopeful, and to come back in a month.
And so...what does this mean? It turns out after some upset googling that it was in fact way too early to have the scan done, and that its usual to not see anything. I was disappointed that the first time DH and I see a doctor about this, it ended with only more questions -- the good thing was that she was familiar with duphaston, and said to keep taking it till the 12th week.
DH and I took yet another test Sunday morning at home, just to feel more confident, and it got darker than before. Were officially whispering to each other that we are pregnant, telling no one else (except you ladies), and just keeping thinking so positively that this little bean grows and sticks.
did anyones spotting get gradually worse? When I started TTC I started spotting about 10 dpo and each month it just seems to be getting worse. So glad I have my private scan in a few weeks to see if there is anything that can explain this.
up and down all the time. Just with the extra cm I feeling positive that something is happening this cycle
