~~The May 2011 Roller Uppers~~

[MsJMouse]

Cornish, glad you got him outside and doing something! I gotta say I am pretty lucky with my OH, he is generally quite good at doing stuff if nagged long enough.

Sthorpe, sorry to hear you had a scare but happy to hear you have a super strong beany beating away in there!

Tweak, I COMPLETELY understand how you feel, and for me it wasnt just about the people I knew who accidentally got pregnant who didnt even want it, I saw pregnancy everywhere - down the shops, on Facebook, on the tv...

I have won my victory over work!! Yay!!! Finally HR and Occ Health told my boss I will NOT be working full night shifts and instead will work 6-3am instead. This had the even better effect of pissing off my managers so much they are getting rid of me off the team and sending me to another department which is a reknowned dumping ground for pregnant officers! My big boss tentatively approached it last night, probably thinking I was going to burst into tears again and instead I sat there grinning like the Cheshire Cat! I took it so well he even asked if I already knew?!

Great news Hopefully now you will be able to relax a bit as the work situation is sorted.

Sorry AF arrived Moonbeam.

Dimples - bummer about the BFN. I never know whether to risk a drink or not during the TWW, the times I haven't AF has arrived and the one time I thought it'll be okay cause it's boxing day so celebrate with the family, two days later BFP unexpectedly.

AFM nothing's happening, waiting to ov. DH and I have been having some fun which is nice, feeling fairly relaxed about it all and hoping I will still feel this way in another 15-20 days time.

 

[ZoMo]

I am having exactly the same from sweet to savoury foods. I am normally super sweet, nothing stays in the house more than a couple of days before being wolfed down. Last week a strawberry cheesecake stayed half eaten in the fridge for a week and had to be thrown away as I didnt want it, I have turned down puddings at meals out, I havent touched (or fancied) a bar of chocolate at all throughout the pregnancy, but last week I was obsessed with cheese crisps. This week what I fancy changes every day but it is never anything sweet which is unheard of for me. Will use it as a diet tool for now!! (except for the crisps!!)

Oh and I managed to move my first doctors appointment up from nearly 9 weeks to this wednesday. Still late by comparison with the other ladies on here but the best my doctors will compromise on! I just want a scan, desperate to see everything is ok, I cant wait til 12 weeks + to find out!

Ladies,

I know we all have had a loss and we are all on this journey together but we now have some lovely BFP's in the mix so we need to have a neutral meeting ground.

Some of us are feeling like we don't really belong anywhere in particular and not feeling comfortable posting in other areas but this way, we can chat about everything and each others journeys with out the worry of offending anyone if that makes sense?

Welcome to the madness

Thanks for inviting me to the group! :wave: It'll be great to be able to keep up with all the "May" ladies and hopefully I'll have some good news this month!! Let's see, because I OV'd late this cycle making it 35 instead of he usual 30 days I am estimated to get get my visit from AF on the 13th. If she doesn't come I will be testing on the 14th...although (let's be real here!) I'll probably test sooner!!! But in any case, July 14th is my official test date!

Baby dust please!! And good luck to all the expectant moms on here!

 

[dimplesmagee]

Hey ladies,
So, I had a great night with friends last night. Ended up having a beer and a handful of jello shots...enough for people not to ask questions, but also not enough for me to feel guilty about. Tonight is fireworks up at the in-laws house, and tomorrow is a day at the pool.

Today is CD 26...My AF typically shows CD26-CD30...so anytime really. But I'm only 11dpo, so I'm thinking if my LP is on average 14/15 days, then I still have at least 3 more days to wait! I used a dollar store test 2nd MU today...BFN, but my last pregnancy I got BFP at 15 dpo, the pregnancy before that was 12 dpo, and w/ my son it was 5 days before AF was to show (so 12/13 dpo)...so I guess there's time!

Hey Cornish...I see on your symptoms list is says "urine showed HCG of 7" was this urine sent to the lab that you took at the Drs.? Or do you have "special equipment"

 

[Cornish]

Eve ladies, sounds like you've had a great weekend dimples. My urine hcg is because my mmc in feb was a molar so I've been sending the hospital samples every month to check my levels. It was 7 at 7 dpo and 122 the Monday after, but my bloods on that day were 301-shows how much better it shows up in blood!
So no I have no special equipment, although how great would it be if we could check our own levels!!!
Think I'm going to sneak a nurse appt this week for more bloods!xx

 

[Cornish]

No sneaky bloods for me as nurse is on holiday, and the other is rammed with appts, so waiting for scan it is!!x

 

[ZoMo]

I woke up to the most horrendous pain this morning. It was baby area, starting on my far left and spread rapidly across to my right too. I felt like my insides were being wrung in a vice. It was awful, was gasping with pain. It only lasted two minutes or so, not long but it felt like forever. I convinced myself I was losing it again and ran to the loo expecting blood but there wasnt any. There hasnt been any blood since and the pain didnt come back, just a really heavy feeling with a bit of an ache. I have no idea what it was but it scared me to death. I just hope that whatever it was has gone for good.

 

[Neversaynever]

Bad luck Cornish, scan it is then

ZoMo...sorry you had a scare but glad you're ok. I know it sounds silly but it could be trapped wind

Lwood...not seen you for a while, hope you're ok

Mercedes...good to see you again, will put you on list when I get on the laptop and good luck testing this month

to everyone...it's gone quiet in here lately.

AFM, been signed off work due to the nature of the job and the need for the pregnancy to be kept confidential so I'll be sitting on my fat ass for nine whole weeks

I am absolutely confused.
The first couple days after the Doc said I'd miscarry I had no blood. Then on Saturday I had more blood than usual, like the first wipe of AF. I also had cramps like the beginning of AF all day. I just knew it was the end. Then a big fat nothing. I have had some spotting Sunday and nothing so far today. Yes I cramped and spotted but it was no where near the amount I have read a miscarry should be. How long does this drag out? I don't want to spend the next few months of my life miscarrying. Or is my bean okay and the Doc is wrong and I am just a lucky girl who bleeds? I am going crazy and I don't even know what to pray for any more...

And I still have all my pregnancy symptoms like sore BBS and super smell and I think MS started this morning...

*sigh

Steph, Congratz on the twins!!

Everyone else seems like they are doing good. I need to re-read the past few pages.

 

[hollyw79]

Hi Lwood.. I'm sorry you're going through ANY of this Honestly~ when you MC naturally it can drag on for WEEKS.. I mean, some women don't bleed AT ALL for over a month before it starts and I've read stories of it lasting 8-10 weeks or even on a rare occasion- longer. Other women it's over within days. It's impossible to predict. Did you ever write about how your doc visit went?? I remember you being concerned about sharing... what exactly did your doc say that made him believe that would miscarry?? Personally, I definitely hope there IS a chance your doctor is wrong. *IF* you do know for certain- did your doc mention a d&c?? Honestly--- that was THE BEST decision I ever could have made. It helped me physically and emotionally.. I bled on my own for 5 days before the d&c and that was 5 days too many.. I couldn't emotionally handle SEEING the miscarriage. So, with the d&c - the majority of it w/ the exception of minor spotting for 10 days was IT and it really helped me emotionally too bc I was able to like draw a line that it was "over" and that I would be able to start TTC again sooner.

Are you able to go see the doctor?? Or again.. go to the ER and get checked out.. if you have decent insurance.. I'd be there in a heartbeat!

Hugs & prayers for you!

 

[Cornish]

Lwood, thinking of you at this unsure time. I'd def try to get some more answers, a scan or bloodwork to check how things are.xxx

 

[sthorp1179]

L wood- I hope that you find some answers soon, I would definitely ask for another scan or another opinion to find out what is going on x

 

[Tweak0605]

LWood - I'm so sorry you have to go through all this. I have everything crossed for you that the doctor was wrong.

What Holly said is true. Some women don't miscarry right away. With my first pregnancy, I found out at 10 weeks that the baby had passed. 2 weeks later, and I still only have some light light spotting and some cramping on and off. I had a D&C and like Holly, think it was my best decision. My doctor said my cervix was closed shut, and nothing would've been happening for awhile. I didn't bleed much at all after my surgery, and it really helped me heal and get to a point where I could start moving forward and thinking about TTC again.

Do you have another appt in the near future? I would definitely get another scan and more blood work done if you can. You're in my thoughts
