Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Lou15]

Elaine, I had an OPK like that the day before I got my really strong positive so fingers crossed! As the others say, I'd do twice a day now.

For the information of the pregnant ladies - the soup was NOT good and I would not recommend going to the trouble of making some- very nearly brought it all back up and now the very thought of it is making me feel even more sick. My current recommendation would be peanut butter and jam sandwiches made with very soft, fresh bread!

More good news from me- I have, as expected, another scan and consultant appointment on Tues, and yesterday had a letter through to say that my booking appointment is on Wed! Seems very early for a booking appointment but I'm really looking forward to seeing the midwife and talking everything through. My GP practice made a mistake with my address in my first pregnancy, so I never got my booking appointment then, and last time I didn't make it far enough along, so this will be my first!

Hope everyone has a very enjoyable Sunday. I shall be mostly just relaxing, before a busy week at work next week xxx

[CherylC3]

Elaine your almost there Hun..cx

Aw thts great Lou x

Well Ive had another night up still constipated and had an Indian last night so ivebeen in pain all night. X

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Oh no cheryl.... when i was pregnant last time, i had constipation BADLY!!!... and was told to drink prune juice as its a great natural bowel mover... as being pregnant you cant use any senakot etc

Ive always suffered with constipation for years! (my diet is rubbish)... but i find eating some liquorice helps also x

 

[bananas2]

Ow cheryl not good! Prune juice is good! But its catch 22! Finding things u fancy and benefit u at the same time!

Yay dodge and elaine we can all spot and drive ourselevs crazy at the same time lol!

How are ur symptoms going mannymoo??

 

[CherylC3]

Aw thanks guys I hate prune juice I hav eaten 3 oranges and 2 cups of boiled water. Hope this helps. X

Ok Girls have done another OPK this morning and have attached! Thinking i'm almost there but not quite! I'm slightly worried because my pg test still has faintest (and I mean faintest) of line but it's not totally negative yet. Can I still be Ovulating even with that? I have def had OV tests with NO line at all and am getting my usual fade in pattern. I'm also bang on with when I OV before PG. What do you think?? I'm such a worrier and over analyser can you tell lol.

 

[Lou15]

Definitely getting there Elaine! I'd do another about 4pm. I wouldn't worry too much about the pregnancy tests now with your OPKs getting stronger.

Aw Cheryl, poor you! I am terrified that I might get constipated, it's just the worst! Hopefully the oranges will help, also keep up the fluids (I am finding nice cold water with a bit of lemon in it goes down quite well) and maybe try a wee walk if you feel up to it as exercise helps things along too xx

 

[CherylC3]

Elaine they're defo getting darker Hun..x

Thanks Lou I think it's the pregnacare. Today I'm just taking folic acid and vit c until my contraption goes. And my ms is awful I feel I'll. X

 

[dodgercpkl]

Lou - that's awesome that you have another scan coming up so quickly!! Yay!

Cheryl - *hugs* I hope you get a bit of relief soon.

Bananas - What DPO do you think you are? I was surprised when I got crosshairs today. I figured it would take another day of temps before I got crosshairs because I figured ovulation was Friday! Turns out my temps say it was Thursday... Sooooo early for me!

Elaine - getting even closer! I agree - do another one this afternoon!

Babee - how are things going with you?

How are our other pregnant ladies doing?

I'm soooo weirded out by my ovulation being so early this cycle! lol Usually at this point I'd be about a week away from O and not 3 days past it! Not to mention I'm having spotting which is also driving me nuts (it's not usual at all for me to have mid cycle spotting other then implantation but this is too early for that and I'm sure this is all HSG related). I know both things are very likely to be HSG related, but it's really thrown me for a loop. Now I'm not quite sure what to do about my progesterone suppositories. Should I start them now or wait and make sure that my crosshairs don't move or disappear?

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Im good thank you hunnie... I tested today and its darker. Ive got alot of Nausea this time round, i didnt have much if at all with the last 2 MC's... so im hoping thats a good sign x

 

[Babee_Bugs]

dodger ive just been looking at your chart... and wow you have ovulated pretty early.

I would say to keep taking your temps and maybes not take the progestrone till maybes a few days time, as FF may change your ov day??? just incase you havent ovulated then???

 

[dodgercpkl]

I know right? It's crazy early for me. It does make me feel better to know though that there are 100's of charts on FF that show ovulation on cd9 ending in pregnancy. Hopefully this will be a sticky bean cycle for me!

I've been thinking (and talking!) more about the progesterone and yeah, I'm not starting today for sure. I think now that what I'm going to do is wait to see what tomorrows temp is. If it's the same or higher then today's, I'll go ahead and start the progesterone. If my temp dips further then it did already today, I'll either call or email my RE and see what he says I should do. It seems clear from my temps that I O'd, but it still makes me nervous that it's so much earlier then my norm!

Yay!! That's a nice dark line on there! I am hoping and praying that this is your sticky bean!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I would deffo check tomorrows temp and go from there... Just incase it's a fluke etc... I would deffo ring your doctor though and see what there say.. Could they not scan you and see if you ovulated?

 

[thethomsons]

Babee - Brilliant test result! You must be pleased!! How far along to you think you are? How will you work it out? xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Thank you Hunnie ....

I'm not 100% on my dates...

My chart

Ive included my chart, where I've marked AM and PM that's when I've had spermies, where X is I haven't lol......

I think I'm about 11dpo today, what ya reckon?

 

[thethomsons]

HELP girls, I am more confused than ever. Tested three times today and twice had darkest lines yet (the pic with the white end as blue bit fell off and the one below). Anyway just done another test and line has faded again? Do I count this as a positive do you reckon? Have I ovulated? Bit disappointed line has disappeared so soon. So hoping I have actually OV or am about to any minute. I have had "pains" in ovary region all day and couple of stabbing pains in (.)(.). Also some CM but not been monitoring it so much cause was using tests. DH and I going to DTD tonight and tomorrow again anyway and every second day till AF arrives (or doesn't incase). I always have a fade in and out pattern but it doesn't have a test like I have seen before which is majorly dark. I think the tests I have bought are cheap but used cheapies before and got strong positive.

So going to be gutted if haven't OV due to M/C, just when you think getting over it, you get slapped in the face again.

Sitting here right now I can feel the sensations in ovaries so have to hope that maybe I missed testing at the total surge but caught it on way up and back down??

WHAT DO YOU THINK GIRLS???

Hope everyone doing ok xx

 

[bananas2]

Hello ladies!!

Elaine its the 1st month I've used opk so I'm clueless!! But if ur ever in doubt just BD

Dodge I reckon I'm 2dpo as yesterday afternoon I had pains in my left side day after +opk so I reckon that was me ov!!!

Hope everyone is well even tho its monday and bk to work!

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine that is confusing! I'm sorry I can't advise you. I would suggest that you still continue testing as there is a chance it could still come. Argghh - our bodies are so irritating after a mc. I know its hard but I decided that if I ever (god forbid!) have another mc, I will not try the cycle straight after as it is completely frustrating trying to work out whats going on. Are you temping at the same time? If so, have you seen a rise in temps?

Other ladies - hope you are all good. Baby bugs - nice strong line!

FMS - still nothing. 8dpo today. Not feeling anything so not feeling very positive at the moment either But I am off to London tonight on a very last minute trip so at least that will keep my mind off testing.

Hope you all have a wonderful week.
xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Thethomsons: Have you been monitoring body signs aswell as OPKS???

Whats your cervix doing??? is it high soft and Open??? whats your CM like is it clear and stretchy... I found it sooo much easier to just rely on my body signs

goodluck and hoping you catch O soon x
