Hi Flower I'm feeling ok ta. No morning sickness but it hits afternoon/evening and no spotting since last wkend! Hoping that was a one off! Still need to get a ticker up! I'm 7+3 today! Feeling frumpy already but only cos salt and vinegar crisps are my afternoon sickness cure!! Off to get organised with healthier options this wkend!

Hope that things progress quickly for you Gobolino!

Well done Cupcake on your weight loss! Bet you're feeling great! Good to get the weight off before your bfp! I put a stone on this last year with all the stress so good on you!

Well I realised this morning I put my height wrong into the nhs bmi app. I actually hit the 'healthy' weight range earlier this week! Yay! I've not done anything drastic just eating healthy options, cutting portions down a bit and not snacking. Still treating myself to the occasional bit of choc!

Gobs: sorry about the spotting. Hope you can get your surgery soon so that you can be back on the ttc road Will keep you in my prayers.

yum: my spotting has tapered off a few days ago. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

Cupcake: Congrats on the weight loss! I wish I could be as determined as you! I've been on diet ever since I can remember. LOL! But I'll always put back on what I've lost. And after getting married, I put on even more! I think the hubby is feeding me too well. I need someone to blame. My spotting has tapered off but now having tons of very light brown CM.

jods: I was having this urge to have potato chips too all last week! And I get hungry every 2 hours even after a large meal. It's driving me crazy! If I don't eat, I feel queasy. I feel like a pig

 

[Gobolino]

Good for you Cupcake!!!!

Jods and Greenleaf....enjoy enjoy and look after yourselves. Nice long walks and eat healthy (when not having morning sickness lol). Lots of pampering too! Creams on the belly, the lot! ;-)

AFM, off to Spain tonight. I normally love going back home....this time I have a feeling of dread. Haven't told anyone except my sister, and I won't until Dr tells me op date. Gonna be hard to keep a smiling happy face. Oh well. Don't mind me....AF is just around the corner and I'm feeling loooow. lol

 

[Greenleaf]

Gobs: Have a safe flight and don't worry too much. It's good that they caught it early so that you can get it treated soon.

 

[jodspods]

Thanks Gobolino! Have a safe flight and take care! Hope things progress quickly!

I am trying to eat healthy but this weekend the sickness hit! Not pleasant and definitely not just in the morning! A friend is lending me sickness bands today to see if they work for me!

Greenleaf glad to hear the spotting it tapering off! I am waiting for date for 12 wk scan!

Girls, AF, so CD1. Only 25 days this cycle. Could it be nerves? or the agnus castus? Never had less than 27 days.

Stress will usually mess up your cycle. Mine will always come early when i'm stressed out. I'm sure it will get back to normal soon.

 

[Cupcake2012]

Greenleaf - that's great news the spotting has got better! Must make you feel more positive!

Gobolino - sorry af came early. When are you seeing the doctor?

 

[Sbmack]

Gobolino, have fun at home...even if you have to take care of some unpleasant business.

Jods, I hope the sickness doesn't last too long! Hopefully the bands help. My friend was really really sick the whole first trimester and had to take Zofran.

So glad the spotting has stopped, Greenleaf!

Cupcake, congrats again on the weight loss!! You must have great will power!

Gob, sorry about your surgical issues. It is good to have caught it early tho. U are in my thoughts! And stress can totally mess up your cycle. I tried AC for a couple months and I am convinced it prevented ovulation, but I can't be certain.

Cupcake, that is great about your weight loss! very happy for you!

Jods, sorry about sickness. I hope the bands help! I took Zofran for nausea. Tried a 50 mg dose of B-6 for a while which helps some people, but never helped me. Don't feel like you have to have extreme sickness to ask for zofran. I only was physically sick twice but i was miserable and nauseous all the time. And potato products were like all I ate for weeks. Glad the spotting has stopped for both you and green!

 

[daydream]

I took Zofran too. Like Chloe, didn't vomit often, but felt constantly nauseous to the point where it was giving me anxiety about not being able to do my job at work. It really helped.

AC shortened my cycles when I was on it Hun x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sbmack, first I have to go to my DR, but when I get home to Spain I get AF so I have to wait. Then he will repeat pap, and maybe take biopsy. If it's bad, then surgery. That's what happend last time anyway.

Yum, no postponing as there are pre cancerous cells, which where changing rapidly. I'd rather not take the risk.

Cupcake! So what's the next step? The appointment is for fertility? IUI?

Oh my hope everything is ok x

Hi ladies!
Welcome to the newcomers. It has been a while since I've logged onto here... I read back a few pages though.

Gobolino- hope everything turns out well at your Spanish doctor. So sorry you've had a scary week.

Cupcake - great job with the weight loss! Good luck at your upcoming appts!

Jodspods- I hope the nausea lets up soon!!

As for me, I took a IC preg test on Sunday, mainly as a joke bc DH was trying to get me to have some drinks with him & I was like - hold up, let me see if I'm pregnant 1st. AF was due Monday, but I had had what I thought was light flow the previous Monday, so I "knew" I wasn't pregnant... Lo and behold if that test didn't turn up positive though!

I did have heavy spotting at CD 21. My cycles are 28 days like clockwork, so I was like - woah I'm getting AF early. The spotting was lots heavier than usual. But it went away after 2 days instead of getting worse. Another EPT came up positive yesterday morning. Today I had a tiny bit of spotting.

I'm cautiously optimistic for a sticky bean, but we won't tell anyone until I'm at least 6-8 weeks.

I mainly wanted to share about the spotting (truly, don't count yourself out when you see it). And, I think having the HSG helped out. The radiologist had to put a little pressure on the dye to get it to flow up my tubes. I'm thinking it might have cleared out debris or mucus or something that might have clogged them all this time.

So if you do need an HSG, welcome it, don't fear it!

My OB Gyn had called me mid-April saying we needed a fertility specialist bc we had "unexplained infertility". We were about to start talking about adoption, etc. I am still quite shocked at this positive turn of events.

Good luck to everyone this month! Baby dust to all!
