Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[mannymoo]

One for the pregnant ladies (and apologies if I've asked this before) - did any of you have NO symptoms before you got your BFP? In my last pregnancy I had no symptoms until about 6 weeks so I know its possible and I shouldn't lose hope just yet but I wasn't really looking very hard for symptoms last time. Just hoping that someone can tell me something promising...

Thanks x

Hey they only symtom I had was sore bbs I think nothing else no cramps nothing think they were saving up for after the BFP as I now feel rough as. X

 

[bananas2]

Oh dear!! Sorry u feel rough!! But look it as stonger the hgc making u rough the healthier the implantation and bean are!!!

I always find a nice foot massage from dh when I'm feeling works wonders!!!

Hope ur feeling better soon!!!

I had no symptoms before my BFP the 1st 2 times...admittedly these pregnancies did not end well, but with my first I did make it to 12 weeks and had v strong symptoms after my BFP xx

 

[Lou15]

Oh, and I have a friend who said with both her boys, she never had any symptoms the whole of 1st trimester, wouldn't have known she was pregnant!

Hey girls,

Well I am totally fed up of bloomin OPKs! have decided to do one a day still to monitor levels and continue to BD every other day or there abouts and just see what happens. Really doubting that I have OVd from the sticks though think was really close. Read up that after miscarriage your levels can rise and fall so reckoning I was nearly there. Hoping still might, if not already ov and will see where I'm at. Got to look at it that either will get AF and know where I am or will get PG and be scared silly. LOL things are a constant worry aren't they!

Today also I got a letter from the maternity unit asking me to go on the 3rd September (2 weeks today) to speak to their midwife who deals with losses. Hoping it is just a chat about what has happened and nothing else. Surely if they had found anything Post D and C I would have been told to go in before now? D and C was three weeks ago today and consultant spoke to me at time to say it had all gone well etc. Midwife had already made me an appointment for 20th September for clotting jags etc and discussion so wondering if they have made a double booking for me by accident? Dh going to call tomorrow and ask as I'm working. If it is a mistake then I am going to take the 3rd September appointment as that is sooner than the 20th and let's me get it over with sooner.

Have had slight worry now that we have maybe got PG (though doubt it) and then I go and they say that something is wrong.

I hate myself sometimes, I am such a WORRIER.

Mannymoo - I'm not sure about symtoms, each time I have been PG I have been sooo ill!

Cheryl - Sorry you feel rough, hope you feel better soon.

Babee - I have nooo idea about how to check my cervix? Wouldn't know where to start! Tried temping but I'm a nightmare as I always forget and get up and then it's pointless. As for CM I'm not really sure, had one day I noticed and please forgive me as this is prob FAR too much info but after DTD the next day I'm always different below and that may disguise any CM. Hope that makes sense and sorry for too much detail!!!

Hope you girls are all doing ok.

Thanks in advance for all advice!!!!!

Hmmmm i get what ya mean about CM/Mixed with spermies... it can be quite hard to tell sometimes.

I find checking my cervix is one sure fire way that lets me know im ovulating or very very close too. Mine is always slightly open as ive had children, but when im due to ovulate it goes high, really spongey/squishy and it opens quite abit at least to the size of the tip of my finger!!!... i can usually tell what my CM is like when up there as it feels different feels like jelly/slime when ive got EWCM

Checking my cervix has been my ultimate life saver and number one main priority when pinpointing ovulation... Try it out hunnie, i usually do it at the toilet just before i have a pee lol

Then when im pregnant, it goes rock hard!!! cant feel a opening!!! and its sooo far up its really hard to reach i knew instantly i was pregnant as soon as i felt it the other day before a pregnancy test said positive lol

Your cervix can tell you sooooooooo much

 

[mannymoo]

Hi Elaine - the best thing you can do is keep BDing on a regular basis and not worry about what the tests say. If AF shows up, at least then you know where you are in your cycle. And if AF doesn't show up in the next few weeks, maybe start doing some preg tests. If AF does show, maybe start temping next cycle so you can pinpoint Ov with accuracy.

After my mc at 11 weeks, I didn't ov at all. I had days where my tests got close but never quite there - it wasn't as fade in / fade out as yours. I know its hard but try forget about it this cycle and if it happens, then its meant to be. Wishing you all the luck in the world though. x

And FMS - I did a test this morning and it was a dud! The control line was suppose to change from blue to pink and it didn't. Will try again tomorrow or the next day. I'm in London now so trying not to think about it too much. Temps still up but was on a flight all night so not sure how that affects it. Will keep you ladies posted.

Hope everyone is good? Lou - did you have another scan today?

xx

Elaine was literally just going to write what Manny just wrote! I totally agree, as hard as it is, I think you should just BD regularly this cycle and leave it at that, see it as a total bonus if you do get pregnant, but be prepared not to and start afresh next cycle when you will be able to keep track of things better and know where you are in your cycle. Easy for me to say I know, but try and be positive about a fresh start if AF does come.

Manny- I would think an overnight flight would upset your temping quite a lot! I think you should get an FRER though, always found them best for early testing, better than the cheapie ones even though they claim to detect a lower HCG level. And thank you so much for remembering about my scan, I am touched! Yes all fantastic today, I officially have a 7mm long embryo with a lovely, clear, strong heartbeat! Measured 6w3d which means I conceived the day after my positive OPK, which would seem probable. So I am a very happy girl today. And I have my booking appointment with the midwife tomorrow, which I'm very excited about. Also- and this is big news- I managed to eat an innocent veg pot tonight despite still feeling really nauseous- 3 of my 5-a-day! This baby is going to be shocked to get some decent nutrition tonight after my recent weetabix and PBJ sandwich diet!

Manny, are you in London for business or pleasure? Pleasure I hope! Hope you have a lovely time whatever you get up to xxx

Lou - great news on your scan hun - can't wait till I finally get to hear a heartbeat (1st m/c happened before the scan, 2nd blighted ovum)

Elaine - Aw hun sending you BIG this ttc after a m/c sucks doesn't it?

Manny - Oh no how gutting a dud test I agree a flight would play havoc with your temps hun - very sensitive little things our bodies

Babee - How are you feeling today hun - have you told hubby yet?

Cheryl - Hope you start to feel better soon hun

AFM - CD4 the is hopefully leaving soon, I have dusted my CBFM and have some OPKs at the ready let's hope I O this month

 

[Lou15]

Good luck Garfie! When do you normally ovulate?

 

[garfie]

This is my fourth cycle after a DNC - so pick a number

The month I got pg I ovulated CD14 prior to that usually averaged CD11 but has been known up to CD16 (once) luckily I temp and now I have my CBFM hoping I get some answers this month

[Babee_Bugs]

i got "pregnant 2-3" today woop woop i think im about 13dpo today

 

[thethomsons]

Babee - Woo hoo that looks great!!!! It seems so much better when you see the words doesn't it!

Girls - Thanks for all the advice. I'm taking your advice and going to try every other day or thereabouts and I'm still doing the OV tests as cheapies anyway and monitoring what is going on. I reckon like you say I will either get AF and then can know where I am at, get PG which would be fab or catch OV on OPK and know where I am at. I did notice today the line was sightly darker again though not positive so def fading in and out loads. I bought 20 Clearblue Digital OV tests but going to save them till I get a strongish line on cheapie and then use it to check as don't want to waste them.
Good news is that my appointment for discussion with consultant about 2 m/c and blood tests is now the 3rd September so happy about that as other appointment wasn't till 20th September which seemed like miles away! Being at work is doing me wonders as I am so busy I am not so fixated on whole thing though have to admit I have become a POAS addict!!!! Can't help myself! Have not been doing so many PG tests now though as test is all but negative. I can see a shadow of a line if I squint and really try but other times it has gone so I'm obviously just about there.

Cheryl - Scan tomorrow - how are you feeling?? Can't wait to hear how it goes!!!!!!!!!

Babee bugs - love the test!

FMS - a BIG FAT NEG this morning... sniff sniff. Still hoping it is too early (10dpo) and that it might change later in the week. I felt very bloated last night which could mean the witch is on her way.

 

[garfie]

Manny - Maybe it's to early hun - hope you get your BIG BFP soon

Cheryl - Good luck at your scan today - how exciting

Babee - Hope you're feeling okay and taking it easy
