Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

i use to get some niggles around when AF was due.. was soo convinced that it would arrive, but it didnt.

More than lightly its just uterus stretching :)

but id say if the cramps turned into really bad pains, then get yaself to A&E x
 
Hey girls, well what a busy place this is today! Took me ages to catch up and was only on first thing this morning!
Welcome to Babee and Garfie - this is a fab place. Babee I think I see a faint line. How long after your m/c are you? Have you had an af? I am only asking as I am nearly three weeks after D and C and still have the faintest ever line on the PG test. Def hoping this is a new BFP for you. Seems to be quite a lucky forum this! Try a digi and post us a pic!!
Cheryl - Try not to worry about the cramps though I know that it is soo difficult. I am going to be a nightmare when I get PG again. If they are AF type cramps I wouldn't be too worried but if they are any worse then call EPAS and get checked out. When I had 2nd M/c I remember having severe stitch pains in one side one day and I wonder if that was when things went wrong but it def wasn't AF type pains. Really keeping fingers crossed that it's just PG symptoms and that your blood results come back fab. Not long till your scan either which is fab! Lots of things to look forward to.

Manny and Horsey - Looks like you guys are close together, Im hoping Im not too far behind.

Pop Tart and Lou - So love reading your updates and that everything is going so well, though I remember how hard PG symptoms are. Oh what I would give to be back there. :-)

AFM - Well I feel quite positive today as the PG test I did is almost totally negative, infact I reckon I could say tomorrow or day after that it will definitely be totally negative. (How bizarre being happy about a negatvie PG test, only people in our boat would get that). Also the OPk test I did today was still negative but I can definitely see the test line now so it is not like yesterday where I couldn't even see the line! Before when I did OV tests I def had clear fade in and fade out pattern so I hoping that is what I might see over next few days/weeks or however long. How long do you reckon after a totally negative PG test that I would ovulate? Anyone any idea? A friend at work today was trying to encourage me not to use OPK tests as she says they make you far too obsessed and also make you count every minute etc. I understand what she means but I feel that they give me control over something that I cant if that makes sense. I ended up just agreeing with her but I know that I couldn't stop testing even if I wanted to as the need to have an idea what is going on is so strong after everything that has happened. I know it means I will be conscious of a 2WW but I am willing to do that rahter than always be wondering where I am at. My first PG with Flynn was sooo easy now I look back as we just tried, it happened and that was is. Having two m/c changes the whole thing so much. No one that has babies with no worries understand how difficult it is when you are sitting 2 m/c later. Hope you guys know what I mean in my ramble!
So DH and aiming for DTD every other night, keeping eye on OPK and see what happens. I was reading places saying you should wait one Af but we are not we are just going for it because 1, it prob wont happen straight away and 2, if it does we there are loads of people who do it and go on to have healthy babies!! Cheryl you give me so much hope!! (Poptart and Lou - were yours after one AF? This will give me hope if AF comes)

Anyway it's Friday tomorrow and then I'm off for weekend so going to enjoy weekend before back to work for a full week with new class next week which will be hard going as they are not an easy bunch this year oh joy.

Sorry if missed anyones questions, seemed like loads to follow up on!!

Hugs to all xxx
 
Hello everyone and welcome!!!

Welcome to the gang babygabelt!! So sorry to hear of ur losses! How long have u guys been trying for?

No worries mannymoo!! We have been sticking to the plan although we were naughty and broke it the 1st day and dtd twice oops! But figured it was only cd8 so no harm done! Cm is clear and increasing so hopefully o will happend end of this week/beg of next!!

So can't wait to hear how all these scans go today!!!

Keep me updated ladies! I find this time waiting for o to happen so boring I love the tww waiting symptom spotting lol I drive my self crazy really!! Anyway I need updates to keep me amused!!!

Wow, I've been gone for a couple days and you guys have filled up like 6 pages! I feel like I missed a lot. And thanks bananas, DH and I have been trying for a yr now, almost yr to date actually. I'm sorry your stuck in the tww :( I never even went back to my dr to do an HCG test.
 
Babygabelt, just wondering how you are doing today? I just saw what you wrote about your niece and nephew, and it made me so sad for you. I'm so sorry for your losses. We also have some lovely nieces and a nephew who are sad that their baby cousin died in my tummy. Fortunately they didn't know about the second pregnancy.
I am very impressed that you are being quite relaxed about trying again- since m/c the first time I feel like I have done nothing but pee on sticks!
Your next pregnancy will be a worrying time, but I'm sure that you will learn to start enjoying it, especially with the help of us 3rd time lucky ladies and hopefully a bit of extra care from your Dr. Good luck and best wishes xxx

Thanks Lou, and I love my sister for being honest with her children rather than saying how we put it here 'the baby grew wings' It came as a little suprise that night in the car, but I know my DS means well and explained it to the kids as best as one could. I think I might be smart next time and not blab about it, even to family. The first pregnancy I was so nervous I didn't have time to tell anyone and the second I felt so confident I wanted to tell everyone (including co-workers which I'll never do again)

My body is very confusing lately :growlmad: I just finished with AF last week, thursday I think, and now shes back? I called my ob's office today and they said not to worry that it wasn't uncommon and would be irregular for the next couple of months. :nope:
 
Cheryl, I tried to do a quick reply to your post but my computer wouldn't let me :shrug:
I had pretty mild cramps early on in my first pregnancy and everyone said they were 'normal' and that my uterus was probably stretching. However, they continued to get stronger and moved into my lower pack very similiar to AF, and then well, MC. But I don't want to worry you, just listen to your body :)
 
Cheryl - I also had light AF type cramps up until about 6 1/2 weeks. It can be normal and in my case, had nothing to do with my mc. I had a number of scans after the cramping and everything was completely normal - had a perfect heart beat at 10 weeks scan still. In fact, my first visit to the Gyne for both pregnancies, he has specifically asked if I have had AF cramps. However, I do agree with Babee Bugs that if it gets very painful, go straight to Dr or ER. Try not worry too much though. x
 
Morning ladies

Just popping in to see how Cheryl is today:flower:

I will be MIA as it's my Birthday and we have to also collect the kiddies from their dad, hubby has deff got something planned so will tell you all about it later.

Hey Hunnie... I'm On CD51 on the same cycle as my miscarriage, so I haven't had a AF yet. I did it fully naturally on my own this time around, and it started on 28th June... Come 3rd of August I still had a positive test!.... But thankfully since then I've had a lot of BFNS...

The miscarriage before the one above I had a d&c... 5 weeks on I still had a positive test. I had a d&c 27th April... And 3rd of June I got a bfn.... But the next day there starting to pick back up again. I was sooo upset as I just wanted to be normal, get af and then try again!... But what I didn't know was, that I was indeed pregnant again... (which resulted in the pregnancy above).

So for me, to rid of hcg seems to take weeks upon weeks!

I've also ovulated and got pregnant with hcg still left in my system... This time round I was getting fertile CM the same time I still had a positive pregnancy test. So deffo keep an eye on your bodies fertile signs/ovulation... But if you do like the smep plan, one night miss a night etc and then do every night in your fertile period... Hopefully you should catch that eggy x
 
Thanks guys... Well my cramps hav been constipation I've been struggling to go the past few days it's very painful I think it's the pregnacare so I'm hoping thts all.. Hav woken up 3 nights with them and its hard trying to go.... Not getting the cramps through the day just the odd niggle but I hav really sore bbs and they hurt when I go over speed bumps.... I'm getting my hcg results later so il keep u updated. X
 
If you have constipation than I'm sure your cramps are from that and nothing else. May try eat something fibre-rich like All Bran flakes. Hopefully it will help. Let us know how your tests go.
 
Cheryl, glad to hear just constipation, although that of course is horrible in itself. Prob combination of the iron in the pregnacare, the progesterone from pregnancy slowing up your digestive system, and struggling to eat so well because of the nausea. I think some proper cramping can be normal though, due to your uterus stretching. Try to drink as much as you can too, because that will help. Am I right in thinking you're a day behind me?- I'm 6w today I think.

Elaine- I got pregnant this time after 1st AF after m/c- so take heart if it doesn't happen for you before AF! Sorry if me complaining about my nausea is annoying, I know I am so lucky to be pregnant again and was determined to embrace the symptoms, but, my goodness, it's so hard when you feel rough all day every day! Have discovered toast and marmite today though which is helping- maybe all the B vitamins are making me feel better?!

Garfie- Happy Birthday- hope you have a lovely day!

I will write more later ladies but for now it's back to work for me xx
 
Happy happy birthdat hope u have a wonderful time!! And get spoilt rotten!!

Ceryl glad the cramp can be expained and its nothing bad!!
Still no smiley face for me but tmi cm defo increasing today as I keep feeling like I've wet myself!!

Hope everyones looking forward to the weekend!! :)
 
I'm still not ov!! But no big deal were at my parents this weekend and dh can never bring himself to dtd under my dads roof lol were a married coulpe in our 30s but still lol!!!
 
Bananas we were on holiday with my mum last weekend when I Ov'ed! You gotta do what you gotta do! Happy weekend all! X
 
Lou- never thought you were complaining for a minute!! I remember feeling awful when pg there and thinking I know I should be grateful but really dont feel like it! Glad toast helping! At park with DS will reply in more depth later! X
 
I second what manny said- once made DH DTD with my mum right in the next room in our old house (which was tiny and thin-walled) because I was ovulating! DH was mortified! Mum told us straight away in the morning that she 'fell asleep straight away and slept soooo well'- hmmmm!
