Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[bananas2]

I'm finding things a bit tough at the moment!! AF arrived sunday and seeing 2 peolpe announce 2nd and 4th babies on the way in a matter of hours on FB had hit me like 10 tons of bricks!!

Gonna take some time out of TTC. No more opk, checking when next AF due etc

All the best ladies!

 

[mannymoo]

Sorry you're having a tough time bananas. I really hope you're feeling better soon. Sometimes takings some time out is the best solution and you'll probably get pregnant straight away if you're not thinking about it. You know where to find us when you're feeling up to it. xx

 

[garfie]

Banannas- aw hun we will still be here when you are ready

Bananas - sorry you are feeling bad. In the days when I started bleeding with my chemical last month, two people announced new pregnancies. Obviously, I don't begrudge their news in any way, but it did make that time that little bit harder for me. I had to hide away and not look online for a week or so (apart from here!). I think seeing AF will always make us feel quite down for a while, but hopefully you will feel a bit better next week once you're in the swing of a new cycle.

Not much news here. I'm 5 DPO, which is the time I start anticipating AF. Reaaally hoping that AF stays away for longer as a result of the B6 I've been taking this month. If I can get past 9 DPO it will be a record. I have already seen a few changes to my cycle this month as a result of the vitamins, so I'm slightly positive.

Elaine did you have your appointment today? If so how did it go? Sorry if I've got the wrong day!

Bananas sorry you're feeling so down about it all. I think a bit of a break will definitely do you good.

Everyone else- I am reading regularly and thinking of you all, but my sickness is getting worse by the day and I'm really struggling. Yesterday all I kept down was some hula hoops! Still at work but today especially was a terrible ordeal! So don't feel that I'm neglecting you all or not wishing you well, I just feel so very unwell.

 

[thethomsons]

Aw Bananas really hope a bit of time out will do you good. WE are all here for you any time remember that! xx

Thanks girls for all your advice and support over last few days appreciate it.

Well my appointment today was good but I am not any further forward really! Well I suppose I am in a way as I got some answers to some of my queries!
Still not sure if I am PG or not though lol. She said it seems very strange that I would still have a positive at 5 weeks passed D and C and usually hormones are gone by 3 weeks so she did suggest it may well be a new pregnancy though to be honest I don't think it is yet! I mentioned to her that I had smiley face on OPK on Friday and she thought it strange that I would have a positive OPK and positive PG test! The basics of it is that I have to wait two weeks and either AF will come or I will be officially PG! So it is now a waiting game really to see if AF turns up or not. She kept saying that it was strange getting positive test still though and would not be surprised if new PG and nothing to worry about. (Yeah right!)
She also said not to worry at all about the BiCornuate Uterus as I have already had my DS and so it is probably coincidental if anything. She said that she reckons it has just been very unlucky and I have every chance that next PG will be absolutely fine.
I asked about the Baby Aspirin and she said that if I get a positive PG test in two weeks (due to no AF) then I should start taking it as a precaution until I get clotting tests back which can take 8 weeks. They also took bloods for a thyroid test which if comes back positive means I can take part in some trial (if not already PG).
I really don't want to get my hopes up so am not going to read too much into anything regarding the tests. She did hint that possibly the HCg was one PG leaving and the OPK was my body trying to create another so there is a chance that it is nothing new.

So I am going to class today as 2DPO as reckoning I would have OV yesterday roughly as got first smiley face on Friday night and by Sunday morning it was gone. We have DTD the last 4 nights and I think we need a night off! 9 (Do you think we should be doing it tonight or do you reckon enough little guys in there and prob OVd anyway??)

In my head I am thinking at least in two weeks I should know one way or the other and can go from there.

I have had quite obvious "pains" in my ovary area today and (.)(.) have had slight twinges not sure if that is sign of OV or PG - giving up guessing! Def sensation in ovaries area that I have not felt before. Might not even be anything.

I no longer need to take Iron which is good as my levels are back up and been told no problem if PG again before AF so feel good about that.

There was no mention of bloods to check HCG but to be honest I can cope wondering for two weeks as at least I should have an answer one way or another! Will prob keep checking the IC to see if any development anyway!
Did a CB digital before appointment to see if said anything but said NOT PREGNANT though i did use a tiny bit of urine after loads to drink so prob wouldn't have picked up like FMU. Not using the other one till two weeks time!! Saving it.

Anyway you can let me know what you think!!! (Oh got a faint line on a tesco test today but was after ten minutes, would you still count it??) Quite often my lines take ages to show but still have colour to them (even if faint)

Hope everyone well xx

thethomsons - I am taking 1 x baby aspirin a day. Not pregnant, but I heard it can help with preparing the uterine lining, and rules out blood clotting problems, so I thought why not?

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I cant believe the doctor didnt order some betas for you???

I went back to my doctor after 5 weeks of still having a positive test, and i demanded a Beta test and it came back at 57!!!... further tests showed i was indeed pregnant!

 

[thethomsons]

To be honest Babee I am kinda glad that I didn't get any bloods taken, would just make me even more obsessed about whole thing. Today I have been thinking about it all less than any other day since miscarriage. I think I kinda know that all will be revealed in two weeks or bit less and so I am just aiming for then. Going to know one way or another and it means I will be ever so slightly further down the line of it all if that makes sense! I keep getting sensation in my kinda ovary area and not sure if relevant to anything but definitely something going on whether it is AF thinking about it or PG developing. Really not sure! I don't want to be too disappointed if AF comes so trying to to think too much at all about it until time comes! I am sooo busy at work at moment and have really thrown myself into it to try and keep me occupied. Keep thinking even if it is AF that comes, at least I will know I am back to the start, anything else is a bonus!
Started taking Baby aspirin today just incase anyway!

 

[mannymoo]

Hi Ladies - hope you're all good!

Just got my on the OPK! Whoop whoop. Lets get this 2WW started!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Ahh brilliant! Get busy!! We are pretty close together!!

 

[Khloeee]

Wishing you a speedy 2WW, Mannymoo.

I'm 7 DPO today and temps still up there so hopefully no period for a few more days. Oh, I would love a 10+ LP this month!


I decided to come clean about my MCs and TTC journey over the past 7 months and have published several entries on my blog (which my friends and family read too). Keeping it all a secret has just been eating me up, and I feel much better now it's out there. If anyone would like to read the posts I've written on the subject, they are all here: https://chloewitters.wordpress.com/category/miscarriage/

 

[mannymoo]

Khloeee - so pleased temps are still up at 7DPO. Really hoping that this LP is long enough to catch a healthy egg. When will you test?

I completely agree with you - talking about stuff is such a way to heal from this whole process. It upsets me sometimes that people refuse to talk about fertility issues - especially because it affects so many of us. Fortunately, a lot of my friends have been through fertility issues of some sort and have been amazing to talk to. We should all talk more!!! BTW though - the link you posted has a double https but if you delete out part of the URL it works.

Keep us posted!!!

And YAY Elaine - glad we are close together!

 

[Khloeee]

Doh! I've edited that link now so it should work.

I'll probably test if I get to 10 DPO. Last month I got a BFP at 9 DPO. But I'm happy not to have a positive this month, unless the B6 has miraculously doubled my luteal phase in just one cycle, a BFP this month will probably just mean another MC.

 

[thethomsons]

It's very quiet in here over last few days!
Lou, Cheryl, pop tart, dodger, babee, garfie, bananas hope you are all ok

Mannymoo- how is it going!!

Everyone else - hope u r ok!

Afm- had smiley face on Friday night gone by Sunday morning- where would you say i am DPO??

Only got cheapie pg tests which are showing def negative so just focusing on 2ww!

Xx

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine I would count monday as 1dpo. I'm going to count today as 1 dpo as I'm sure I Ov'ed during the night. Got up to go to the loo and got a really sharp pain on one side.

Yes - where is everyone? Hope you're all doing well?

 

[garfie]

Hi Ladies

I'm still here - sorry got a few issues with my son who has autism (he started senior school yesterday) and we need a period of adjustment.

I am also busy with my avon rounds I know have two and one involves a lot of walking (around my village) and the other is a bus ride away

Elaine/Manymoo - for being in the tww, not sure if I am or not at the moment as my CBFM detected a PEAK but FF has not added any cross hairs - strange Anyway I will start testing on the 10 so not long now

Khloee - Fingers crossed for you hun that the B6 is working and your LP is longer so sorry for your losses i have not read your blog but I will do when I get a min

Babe - How are you feeling today hun - any new symptoms?

Cheryl/ Poptart - Hope you ladies are still enjoying your pregnancy

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - Well take a look at the chart Testing will begin the 10 September though

[mannymoo]

Good luck Garfie. How are you feeling? Anything out of the ordinary? Hope your son is settling into senior school nicely!

 

[garfie]

Mannymoo - You're not going to make me symptom spot are you well okay if you insist - sore boobs even when I lay down (maybe carrying my avon books?) cramping as if af is on her way (suffer with ibs maybe gas) sore back (maybe lugging the books)?

So you can see all of my symptoms can be explained and the fact that I haven't even got crosshairs am I in the tww or have I not O - ah well bring on the testing

Son was hyper last night had a real hard time settling him down

[mannymoo]

I'm only 1DPO (if that) and I'm already looking for symptoms!! Unsurprisingly - nothing yet!

Sore BBs sounds very promising. Ooo - looking forward to some BFPs this cycle.
