Spotting week before AF every month - anyone else?

[Jellycat]

That is great news almosthere - such an improvement. will they be testing it for a third time later to see if any improvement?

 

[almosthere]

Hi Jelly Cat, I feel a third test may be next in the mix-since one was super low and one was only slightly low...will see with the FS has to say about it all!

 

[yum]

jellycat- sorry abt the long cycle any update ?

[almosthere]

thanks yum....I just set an apt. for Aug. 1st, although may change it....DH either has to not go at all, or take another day off. Funny because his boss asked if we were ttc! I think at this point he should just say, hey, ya, we are ttc and I would really appreciate you being flexible with my schedule...I am trying to get the ball rolling before my work starts end of aug. as well to make things easier! Also b.c I want to have my miracle bfp already!!!

 

[Jellycat]

Yum - hope you had a nice time !

No news from me , BFNs , spotting stopped, no sign of af

Almosthere - why didn't dh say ?

 

[almosthere]

The question from his boss just must have took him by surprise-and seeing as we have not told anyone yet, he probably wanted to run it by me-but I am all for it so his boss doesn't think he is just randomly taking days off for no reason at all! and jellycat, good sign no AF! I tested yesterday and today and bfns...dislike my cheapies as they have evap indents which tease me! FX we are both due for a Bfp...if your ticker is right, we are pretty close together this cycle-although I am only on cd28-hope you find out what is going on w. your cycle soon!

Also, called the FS today seeing if DH should in fact get another SA done and he said no and that IVF is most likely the plan, so I am excited to at least get closer to my new plan for ttc!

Sorry about your spotting ladies

Jellycat here is the journal I’ve bought https://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Pregnan...51/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343204953&sr=8-1#_

Sorry about the BFN mzladyk. I’m ok thanks, just stressing about the scan! And jumping at every twinge or cramp I get worrying that something’s gonna happen!

Sorry about the painful AF Liz

Almosthere, that is a brilliant improvement in DH’s !!!

Glad you had a good holiday Yum My scan is 1st Aug, 1 week today! It was supposed to be the 8th but then she brought me forward to the 1st when I told her how early I got my BFP! My midwife appointment home visit is on the 6th.

[almosthere]

I do not recall and there are so many pages I would have to search for-so I figure why not just ask you ladies! who already know your answer haha---How many of you that are preg now still spotted in your tww before bfp?? I know that for some of you the spotting stopped....just trying to find hope as I spotted again last night after dtd :/

 

[Chloe597]

Hi ladies! Just got back from my gender scan, and its a !! I'm so excited to start buying little girl clothes Everything looked good in the scan, and all of her organs looked appropriate. She was right on track for my due date too

Almost, I am one of the ones who spotted all through the tww. Quite badly too, probably through 12ish DPO. It was when my spotting suddenly stopped that I became suspicious and wondered if i was pregnant. Glad your DH's SA came back better! I am surprised they still are going forward with the IVF plan given the massive improvement. Oh well, doctors know best i suppose!

Glad you had a nice vacation, Yum!

Good luck at the ultrasound and with your midwife, MrsP!

I'm off to Costa Rica for 10 days starting on Friday. Can't wait to come back and catch up on everyones stories, and hope to see some more BFP announcements from you ladies in the TWW!

 

[Jellycat]

Chloe so pleased your ultrasound went well can't believe you are almost half way through!

Mrspttc - lovely journal, great you can write and use pictures!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ahh chloe a little one how lovely!!! I thought it might be a girl . Expat I think you are having a boy, will you find out? We are staying team Have a fab holiday chloe & thanks for your well wishes

Almosthere I didn't spot at all.

Thanks jellycat, looking forward to picking it up from the mail depot tomorrow, though no idea where I'll find the time to write in it lol.

[almosthere]

oh chloe how exciting, congrats!

 

[lizc123]

Ahh fab news about dh's results almost there,hope he is feeling a bit better about it sorry u r spotting but there's always that glimmer of hope, stay away witch! fingers crossed xx

Congrats Chloe a little lady how cute! Xx

 

[almosthere]

thanks liz!

afm spotting again after dtd last night, but not much at all which was hopeful. cd30 today, so af should or should not be showing her ugly face in 6 days max. If I get a bfp, I will be so confused/shocked/surprised as I have NO symptoms! Will sure be a pleasant surprise though,,,staying hopeful!!! Also may be purchasing our first house as we are in a condo now-which helps taking this whole long term ttc thing off our minds a bit which is nice!

 

[KatieTTC]

Almosthere, happy to hear dh's results are looking better this time. Fingers crossed for you! Looks like you've got a plan and it's just a matter of time before you'll be setting up your own pregnancy tickers. And if I were you, I wouldn't take spotting as a definite sign that you failed to conceive that month. I had the worst spotting of my life the month I got pregnant.

Liz, sorry about painful AF. Mine were always painful the first two days, I had to carry Midol in my purse, otherwise I wasn't able to function on CD1 and 2. Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats on a little girl, Chloe! How exciting to know the gender already!

Jellycat, sorry about the long cycle. Still no sign of AF?

Yum, glad you enjoyed the vacation

MrsP, how have you been feeling?

I am absolutely exhausted after our move. It is finally complete but most of the stuff will remain in boxes for a while, I have zero energy left. Fortunately my pregnancy hasn't been accompanied by any sickness or nausea, which makes things easier. If I start feeling queasy, all I have to do is eat and it goes away. I do sometimes have to take a nap though, hormones and lots of movement tire me out quickly. I should be meeting my new OBGyn next week, hoping for a good doctor. to all of you, wonderful ladies!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Blueberry today, yay! I'm fine thanks Katie, no MS here either, though I have felt pukey a couple of times but has literally lasted seconds so wouldn't class it as MS yet. I'm just so bloated & also tired. Nearly fell asleep a couple of times at work this week . 9 weeks for you now! . Moving home is so exciting, & you'll have a LO in there soon! x

 

[lizc123]

Hi there

Katie glad the house move went well hope u can rest up for a bit now and get your energy back!

Yay for blueberry mrs p! 7 weeks already wow!

Ummmm for me I went to the des yesterday for dh's SA results of which he had done 2 tests. We got the shocking news that there was zero sperm count. Go couldn't give us much info as to why so he is being referred to a specialist for more tests to see whether there is sperm being produced and it's just not getting out. On his file was a case of mumps when he was a child but they can't say for sure if that is what has caused it.
We are both obviously devastated i feel so heartbroken for my dh I love him so much he is such a good person who doesn't deserve this, I hate to see him in such a state so need to try and be strong for him as it is so much to try and get our heads around
Our whole future has changed now from this moment everything we had imagined our life would be like has changed now, of course our chances of a family may not be completely over until tests are done and there are other ways to have a family but I guess everyone assumes they will do things the conventional way

Anyway I will probably or post on here much for a while as need to concentrate on dh but a little bit further down the line I will let u know how we get on

In the meantime Katie, mrs p, Chloe, expat good luck for the rest of your pregnancies hope they are happy and healthy, :0)
Almost there, dreaming hoping, jellycat,yum (sorry if I missed anyone) babysat to u all and hope u will all get your bfp's soon, you are all such supportive and nice people who all deserve a happy ending

Love Liz xxx

 

[expatttc]

Liz, sending you and your DH loads of warm thoughts....I hope that you can get some answers from a specialist, and know that you will find your own way - perhaps something that you never thought you'd have the opportunity to do - to build your family. Concentrate, and know we'll all be here when you want to chat

 

[daydream]

Liz sorry for the news. Thinking of you and your DH

 

[almosthere]

oh liz I have no words other than I am so sorry I hope you can get answers. Hugs times a million! Afm I am crampy in the stomache and feel icky...pink when I wiped a bit sad as I am 99 percent sure af is on her way in the next 2 or 3. Days but weirdly excited to start ivf...my fs said we have a 50 percent chance of pregnancy although not sure if its the true as online says about 20 to 30...anywho fs aptt on wed dh does not know if he can get the day off to go with mne or not but I will go one way or another to get moving on things!
