Good Morning (or actually Afternoon!) and Happy New Year everyone!

Still waiting here...but I guess it might be a one week wait! Today is cd 7 (most likely, although I have conflicting info between my FF and TCOYF software [which I am not sure I really like anyway]). I tested this morning, and got nothing...just as I expected! My breasts/nipples have been pretty sore/tender, and I have been having some cramping (still). I told DH about my boobs...he asked if it meant I was. I explained that it really doesn't, it is just progesterone, but on an upside it wasn't like that last month. He says he doesn't want to get his hopes up! Anything could happen, like I could be pregnant now, but not in 2 weeks.

I will continue to test I guess...maybe wait for another 2 days for my next FRER...but...I can always buy more, so maybe not! But, tomorrow is only cd 8, and only 35% of pregnancies are positive on cd 10...so it may just be too early anyway.

Thanks for letting me rant!

AW! Yeah! Congrats!!

I hate to ask this, but would one of you mind taking over the list. Between my current health issues and computer problem I just cant keep it up. Thanks in advance!

I have a question for those of you that have had your Mirena out for a while. What are your periods like? This is my 3rd one since having mine taken out and I dont remember my periods being like this. It is like I am bleeding to death my entire period. I bought an 18 pack of SUPER overnight tampons last night and am having to change them at least once and hr. It's rediculous! Plus I have INSANE cramping! Like someone is tightening a vice grip on my uterus! This is not fun! Just wondering if this is normal for anyone else or whether I should be worried.

Hi BrandysBabies

I'm afraid I can't help you with this one. I've not had yet.

Hope you feel better soon.

Update for you.

I went back to the hospital this morning for an ultrasound and pregnancy test. They confirmed that the uterus was now empty (on 26/12 it was described as 'complex', full of clots and blood and with a lining of 12mm). Today the lining measured 4mm - which they're happy with - and the uterus, ovaries and tubes all appeared normal. The pregnancy test was so the obgyn said we can start TTC whenever we want to.

Unfortunately I've still not shaken off the cough from the swine (H1N1) flu so I was prescribed strong antibiotics by my GP. Given my weakened state he recommended that we don't rush straight into TTC to give my health (and mind) time to heal ready for a new pregnancy. He said it was encouraging that I'd fallen pregnant so quickly after a total of 14 years using a coil and clearly fertility was not an issue for us at the moment. Obviously we're very reassured by that, but are aware that time is not on our side.

To be honest I feel so rough at the moment that is far from my mind today (and coughing whilst copulating is not a good look!!). I think we'll NTNP whilst I build up my health and fitness and if it's meant to be so it. If nothing's happened after a couple of cycles then perhaps we'll start looking at temping/charting.

I'm on the final countdown to my holiday. We fly out to Luxor, Egypt a week tomorrow so I need to concentrate on getting better for that. The doctor has signed me off work until Monday, so I'll only have to work one day before my holiday! Isn't it always the case that when you have lots of time off, you're too poorly to make the most of it!

[Calasen]

I'm good pip honey, pottering along, not quite sure where cycle is but I "should" be due on this week or next, not really considering testing this month as the chicken pox spoiled most plans although we did manage to have a bit of fun

Brandy I would offer to take on the list but I cant right now as have too much on

Hows you lot?

 

[MEGARICE03]

Pip, I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you. I, like Calasen, am just 'pottering' along. Waiting for Ovulation to continue the fun. Hope everyone else is well.

 

[MilWife79]

Just checking in with you girls - hope that's ok! It's been a little quiet here!

 

[MEGARICE03]

I agree! I started OPK and nothing promising showing up yet. Hope everyone is well!
