[Khloeee]

Oh yay!! Great news for both of you, I'm so pleased.

Mannymoo, that's great that they are going to scan you every 10 days, can't get better peace of mind than that. I've now got five weeks to wait before my next scan at 12 weeks, feels like an eternity away!

 

[CherylC3]

Hi SATH and welcome! This thread is the place to be to help you get your 3rd time lucky rainbow baby and we would be delighted to have you here and get to know you if you want to join us. I am so very sorry for your losses. I am glad that you are being referred and hope that they can help. However, it does seem that quite a lot of people have 2 miscarriages and then 3rd time works out well, so here's hoping it will be that way for you.

I love the picture of your cats- they look very much like 2 of mine did when they were younger (I have 5!).

I really hope that we will soon see your 'currently feeling' change from sad to happy/hopeful/amazed....and then unfortunately maybe pretty quickly onto sick!!! xxx

 

[thethomsons]

Hi SATH, welcome this is the best place to get through what you are going through as we have all been through it. The girls on here are great and very supportive. Most of the girls are now pg and doing REALLY well which is reassuring! I'm in 2ww at mo 5dpo and hoping to join them though not getting my hopes up! Vent anytime as we are all here for one another xx

 

[SATH]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Its a relief to find some people to speak to. Apart from oh no-one will talk about my losses except to say negative things. My little fur babies keep me going, unfortunately they've also been bringing me presents to cheer me up.

 

[Lou15]

Ha I get lots of presents too! A perfectly dissected little mouse kidney on the step the other day was a particular highlight (don't know where the rest of the poor mouse was!). Just wait til you get pregnant again, you can just say you're feeling too sick to go near such things and get OH to deal with it! Oh and he will have to clean out the litter trays too! xx

 

[Lou15]

Now for a more constructive post although I could talk about pets all day!

Are you waiting to see the specialist before trying again or just going to see what happens? Do you do ovulation tests? When do you expect to ovulate? How short is your luteal phase? I'm not sure but I think they can maybe supplement progesterone to help with this. Sorry for so many questions but just hoping us ladies on here can help xx

 

[horseypants]

Hi Garfield, Lou and All, I'm hanging in there! Day 2 of af and I'm finally having some tests done. Xo

Labull, congats

 

[mannymoo]

Horseypants so glad you are getting some tests done. Do you know which ones they're going to do? I hope you get some answers soon. Xx

Welcome sath! You're in the right place.

Pet talk: dh is still in London and I very nearly went and got a puppy to surprise him when he gets back tomorrow. But after thinking long and hard, I decided to wait for christam. Lou as a vet, what do you recommend in the mid size range? We want an easy, happy pooch. Will definitly get 2 but one at a time...

 

[thethomsons]

Hey to all hope u are having good weekend.

I feel like time is going sooo slow, now about 6dpo and nothing really to report symptom wise. Only thing is I have been so grumpy and also quite emotional this weekend too which isn't like me. This could be sign of AF comin next week though so not reading too much into it.
It's my birthday on 15th October and hoping I might get birthday surprise but not holding my breath lol. So a figure online that said your chances each month of conceiving are 25% which is very low! We are going to Carnforth to stay in a lodge next Saturday for a week and going to visit Trafford centre for shopping one day and Blackpool illuminations and pleasure beach another. Also be enjoying the surrounding Lake District so that will be good! Thinking I'll either have bfp or AF and if its AF then it's another month to save more money in our little account for when bfp day comes!

When did you girls test? How many dpo? How soon did you have any symptoms and what were they? Girls I need your help to pass the time!!!!!!!

 

[mannymoo]

Ooo Elaine my biggest sign was grumpiness!! Fingers crossed. Got this bfp at 11dpo but my last bfp was only 16dpo. Let's hope this week goes really quickly for you! X

 

[SATH]

Morning all,

I'm hoping to ovulate sometime in the next week or so. I use the clearblue monitor its worked twice before so fingers crossed. I don't ovulate till late in my cycle normally a 9 day ish luteal phase. My GP doesn't seem to believe in luteal phase defect hoping the specialist will. Not sure if that is the cause but with my last pregnancy I had a scan when I should have been 7 weeks, but the baby only measured 6 weeks but did have a heart beat, then I had another scan at 9 weeks because all my symptoms had gone. Thats when I found out, baby measured 7.5 weeks. We've waited until first af but now we're going to start trying again. My GP wasn't sure my referral would be accepted by the specialist so I keep expecting to get a letter cancelling it. I've started trying accupuncture with a fertility specialist accupuncturist she's hoping to bring ovulation forward a couple of days. I've been taking vitamin B 100 complex for months now, Co CQ10 200 mg and seleniium along with pre-natal and GP started me on 5 mg of folic acid. I'm tempted to give up on the vitamin B and selenium doesn't seem to be helping but too scared to in case I never get another BFP.

My crazy kitties like to bring me live presents so I have mice running round the kitchen so much fun! OH is useless hes terrified!

Fingers crossed for lots of for everyone.

Manny- I would have to recommend a whippet/ small lurcher every time! They are so very loving, cuddly and snuggly, great characters, will walk far if you want to but equally happy with a quick run off the lead if you're pushed for time, they are beautiful and graceful, very easy to keep clean, minimal 'dog' smell, often naughty puppies but usually fairly calm adults....they are just the best! They have very minimal health problems generally too, other than the fact that with thin coats and skin they maybe get wounds that need sutures more than most, but with all the whippets we've ever had I'd say maybe 2-3x in each lifetime so no big deal really. However, if skinny dogs aren't your thing a lot of people are breeding cocker spaniel x poodles now and in my experience at work they tend to be good-natured wee souls and they are very cute! Or any other medium sized crossbreed would probably be very healthy and sweet. Unfortunately I can't think of any more breeds that I'd highly recommend- I think being a vet puts you off a lot of dog breeds as you tend to associate them with the health problems they get. There are so many breeds I just wouldn't even consider now!

Elaine- I thought I tested at 9dpo but since they said my baby measured further on than I thought I'm not sure now! Odd as I had such a strong positive ovulation test! So it might have been 12 dpo. I think FRER are the best for early testing too, despite the internet cheapies claiming to pick up a smaller amount of HCG. I felt very nauseous from (?) 8dpo but then I am abnormally nauseous anyway so wouldn't read too much into that! That was my only symptom although I might well have been grumpy if I hadn't been on holiday at the time! Hope you enjoy your wee trip away, you so deserve it.

SATH- sounds like you are doing all the right things to try to get your BFP. I also waited til one AF then was lucky enough to get pregnant first cycle trying this time, although with number 2 had a bit of a wait. I would have thought that a luteal phase of 9 days was well recognised as a possible concern? Hope it's taken seriously when you see the specialist. I'd be very surprised if they didn't accept the referral- aside from everything else (and of course you are the important one here) it's just professional courtesy- I can't imagine ever referring an animal to a specialist and them refusing to see it. Good luck!

Lots of love to all xxxxxxxxx

I got faint positives at 9 DPO with all pregnancies (not using internet cheapies though, they took a few more days to show up positive).

With this pregnancy I can't say that I had any symptoms in the 2WW, but the B vits I'd just started taking that cycle were already making me need to wee more and giving me sore boobs - which are the first symptoms I got with my other pregnancies. Other than that it was just a few AF-like aches and pains.

8 weeks today! Can't quite believe it, but I'm still so nervous and cautious of getting excited. Was worried all day yesterday because I hadn't felt that sick.

 

[mannymoo]

How is everyone? Its been so quiet on here lately. Hope all is alright?

I was terribly sick over the weekend. Every time I looked at food, I felt sick. And then yesterday it was all gone again - as if it never happened. Trying to stay calm in the hopes that it returns in the next few days but I can't help but be concerned every time this happens. Any of you pregnant ladies feel terrible one day and then perfect the next?
