So sorry to hear that vankiwi.

Welcome to all the new ladies! This group is a great one for sure! Ap0107 I see your from Ontario? So am I where abouts are you?
As for your question I have read that some ladies just dont get a bfp until later on in pregnancy but I also think that there is a strong possibilty of it being something else. I would make an appointment with your doctor. If it is a bfp then a beta HCG test might be able to pick up what a home pregnancy test cant. And if not then you are in the right place to discuss what else it could be! Hope you get it figured out! Best of luck and babydust to everyone!

Hi Magan, I'm from Hamilton. Where are you from? I think if AF doesn't come by the end of the week I'll go see my doctor since by the end of the week I'llbe 3 seeks late. I'll keep you posted on what happens.

Just wanted to update that AF came yesterday so at least I know what's happening now. Hopefully we have better luck next cycle.

Vankiwi. I m sorry sweety.

 

[Vankiwi]

Thanks guys, I was doing OK until last night when I had a bit of a breakdown, after hearing that a daughter of our friend (she is 23) is pregnant and "she is just like her mother, just has to think about getting pregnant". They know we're trying so I found it really hurtful, even though I know they just said it without thinking, and they don't know what we've just been through either. As well as my colleague asking every second day if I'm pregnant and telling me to "go home and make a baby" (she got pregnant by accident)..... yesterday was not a good day!

DH didn't know what to do with me last night!

Hello ladies I haven't posted for a while so just trying to catch up. So many new faces and bfps it's so good to see.

Going to have a better read through later just waiting for dinner at the moment.

Still no sign of a bfp for me but to be honest we have had so much going on that we haven't really been trying. Both hubby's grans were really ill (one with cancer) then hubby got made redundant but started a new job straight away. Then last week one of ours dogs go so ill that we thought we were going to lose him but thankfully after a blood transfusion he is dong really well.

On the brighter side of things I have been using this time to make positive changes the main of which has been giving up smoking. I have been smoke free for two weeks now and have been managing better than I thought and although I have the odd drag on my electronic cigarette I am doing quite well.

I have a diet and fitness thing going at the moment that I am putting into full force on Monday so by the time AF has come and gone (in about three weeks time) hopefully I will have lost some weight and be feeling a lot better about TTC.

Going to have a better read on what's been going on over my morning cuppa tomorrow so for now wishing you lots of baby dust.

Hi bunny xxx missed you! Well done on the not smoking

 

[Vankiwi]

Hi Bunny! It's been ages! Well done on the not smoking thing, when I gave up I used to carry around a straw cut in half to hold like a cigarette so that while I was waiting by the bus etc I had something to do with my hands!

 

[Magan85]

Hi Bunny! Nice to hear from you! Congrats on the no smoking thats awesome!

Hey ladies I haven't written in quite a while.
It has been a very crazy few months. This is the month my precious little angel would have been born. I'm doing a lot better then I thought I would all thanks to finally getting the appt to a specialist. Now this took 3 long years of trying to have a child and loosing our first. I have a hsg appt this Friday and am trying to be strong but I am really nervous and scared. I have read all about how it is all done and I don't think I should have. I know this will help see any problems that could be there and it does give me hope. I'm just wondering if any of you have had this done and if so how painful is it and could it really help my chances to finally have my little miracle.
Thanks ladies, I find I can turn here anytime I'm scared or just need an extra little support.

Hi sweetie :wave: sorry you've been having a tough time.

I have had the HSG and it honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Take the strongest pain killer and anti inflammatory you have about an hour before the procedure, that helps.
For me, it just felt a little uncomfortable and tighter inside, a bit like period cramps. My legs went a little achy at the thighs and my back, but I usually get that with bad AF pains.

I took a couple of days off work to rest and not lift things and it really wasn't as bad as I had expected.

I wish I could tell you that it helped with our bfp but I don't think it did, since it was about a year before we conceived.

What it did do, was help me to tick something off the list and be more positive about ttc. If there are no blockages then that's great, if there are, then at least you can know what is next.

I have heard of lots of ladies getting their bfp as the dye flushes out the cobwebs! others get their bfp because just doing something towards ttc helps to relieve their stress xx

Hope it all goes well, please don't worry. It might be a bit uncomfortable but it's not that bad and is over pretty quickly xx

 

[Vankiwi]

My co-worker had an hsg done, she was told you have a higher chance of conceiving the three months following it, as Jo says, the cobwebs are gone!

 

[nexis]

I hope your hsg goes well Mrslandry I'm waiting on an appointment for one at the moment.

 

[Mrslandry]

I just got off the phone with my Dr and she pushed it back to next Friday now. Thank you so much for letting me know and luckily I have pain killers for a painful af. Worst part is I'm an over thinker and going crazy lol. But I'm gunna try to just relax and try not to think. I'll let you ladies know how everything goes.

 

[Jo_Bean]

Yes please do let us know how you get on xx

 

[Lawyer chick]

Mrslandry,

I had mine in January. I took 2 aleve and had cramping after during lunch ( I thought I was ood and thought why not relax). I did have worst cramping after. Took the day off. I hope it goes well for you and try to relax.

As for me initially it was bad news - blocked tubes - then but at surgery few months later tubes open. Sadly I'm also not having regular cycles despite no pcos, so it hasn't been successful.

My next step is iui, which is on hold for me due to potential further surgery with cervix issues and also forces my hand in terms of delivery, automatic csection, which is so far from my anticipated home birth.

 

[Mrslandry]

See I over think everything lawyer chick, and I am just so scared that even if I do get pregnant again ill loose it before even getting to see him or her. I took an urinalisis test Monday to see if I am pregnant and am going crazy waiting to find out if I am. Also waiting for blood work results. I can't sleep cuz my mind is going a million miles a minute. Don't know what to do, I can't help but be scared something is going to be horriably wrong that can't be fixed, I'll be told to not bother trying anymore cuz it will never happen. Nothing helps to distract me anymore. Sorry to be such a downer.

 

[Lawyer chick]

Mrs Landry I was there but I was also expecting the result given my history. Between my hsg and lap surgery I was devasted I was so in shock and sad and thought omg IVF is only way. Then it was does our healthcare cover, how do they determine etc.

Then I had lap surgery, my mom was there and I was told uterus good tubes open..I thought it was a dream. I was shocked. I had anticipated bad news.
I think with hsg they won't tell you you can't have kids ever, it's just if there's blockage which then you have two options IVF or lap surgery to check out the tubes and ovaries and a stronger hsg ( dye pushed harder).

It's hard when we have to wait for answers. Hugs x a million to you and I hope your dy comes quick. I had to wit 3 weeks or mine and my period wouldn't go away o I had to delay mine. Then it was 3 months later my surgery ( sometimes I hate our healthcare for that)

I think afs actually coming because I've spent tonight bawling Like crazy. The plans I made I wanted are coming to be the way I plan and it scares me. All part of the process I think.

 

[Mrslandry]

Well in was told the preg test was neg and I can get my hsg, I think af is coming tho cuz my upper lady parts are very sore. Also been feeling a little emotional lol but I'm normally a little emotional lol. Trying to keep my spirits up.
Happy Halloween all
