Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Laubull]

Elaine I don't think my symptoms started till about 6 weeks. Don't panic and enjoy your holiday!

Garfie, you're chart is looking good, I hope this is your month

Hugs to all xxx

 

[mannymoo]

Garfie your chart is looking great this month! With the exception of your temp on Saturday, 6th everything looks very orderly and consistent. Did you do anything on the Friday night that could have made your temp go up? I found that a couple of glasses of wine had a big effect on my temp the next day but the worst was garlic. My temp would go right up the day after garlic. Weird! Anyhoo, hoping that this is your month. xx

Elaine - I'm the same as Laubull. First real symptoms at 6 weeks. These days I feel fine one day and completely useless the next. I did some googling around the digital tests and if I recall correctly (you might want to double check tho) 1-2 weeks pregnant indicated hog levels of up to 200; 2-3 weeks indicated levels between 200 and 2000; and 3+ shows that your levels are above 2000. Enjoy the holiday. x

Lou glad your feeling a bit better but sorry the ms is still lurking around. Fingers crossed it stops over the next week or so. However (you might want to stop reading now...) I do have a friend who had her third daughter on Friday and for all three pregnancies she has had terrible morning sickness right up to delivery! Lets hope thats not the case here!!

FMS - I have my next scan on Tuesday. Nervous already. xx

Yay congrats elaine

as for symptoms mine kicked in dot on 6 weeks! i woke up and felt like i had the hangover from HELL, i felt dizzy, sick, headache... its only now its starting to taper off

As for surviving after a Loss, i wont lie, its not Easy!... but i refused to look too far ahead. I aimed at small milestones, like looking forward to my 7 week scan, then first appointment with midwife at 9 weeks, 9weeks and 6days heard heart beat on doppler and now waiting for 12 week scan Everytime i tick off a little milestone i feel more positive that everything will be ok

Congrats again hun x

Manny - The temp was strange as I was up a lot during the night my youngest had d&v But in the end I had over 3 hours sleep so maybe that's why its a bit high

The cover line is high as well - as I said I used a new thermometer but wowzas

Elaine - Hope you are relaxing and enjoying your holiday

Love to all you prego ladies

p.s just wondering if anyone is still lurking here who isn't pregnant or am I the only virgin

 

[mannymoo]

Garfie we still have sath and horseypants and until we have a full thread of BFPs, I will be sending all my baby dust your ways. X

 

[SATH]

Hi, How is everyone doing. Did you have a nice weekend? Well I ovulated Saturday so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month as OH was away until Sun, Thinking positive that next month will be good, gives me another month of accupuncture and seeing specialist on Friday so maybe its all for the best.

I actually had someone ask me at work if I was pregnant as I had bad stomach, could but fingers crossed will be again soon. Can't say I'm looking forward to morning sickness, I had it quite bad last time.

PS Only 2 furry friends have been brought in over the weekend, think the wood mouse population by me is in risk of extinction!

Hey girls, had lovely birthday yesterday and did a FRER which was the darkest yet! Both lines were matching so taking that as a good sign that I'm moving forward well so far! Feeling soo tired today but that's all really. Making most of it as I know it prob wont last! I am now officially 1 day late so feel good about that!

How is everyone?

Still cannot believe pg!!!

 

[mannymoo]

Yay Elaine! Such good news. And happy birthday for yesterday. Hope your having a lovely break.

Sath - good luck for your appointment on Friday. Glad you are feeling positive. I think that can really go a long way.

Garfie - chart still looking great! Hoping that this is your month!

How is everyone else? Are all the pregnant ladies still unwell?

FMS - had my next scan this morning and little bubs was measuring perfectly at 7+5 and heartbeat was ticking away at 153. I had a bit of a panic attach last night that I would get there today and he wouldn't be able to find anything so I was more than relieved after my appointment. Next one is in two weeks time. Already starting counting the days.

xx

 

[Laubull]

Elaine, a belated happy birthday to you! A nice dark FRER, what more could you want, so happy for you Tiredness was my first symptom, I am sure there'll be more soon.

Sath, I hope you caught that eggy, even if it was slightly delayed

Garfie, I am with Manny, great looking chart, fingers crossed!

Manny, yea for a perfect scan! Are you starting to relax now? Do you get another scan in 2 weeks or just an appointment?

Hugs to anyone I've missed off

AFM, I am starting to feel more confident, I hope that's not a bad sign. I am feeling blurghhh most of the time so fingers crossed. I have a meeting with the midwives next Monday for some group session, although still waiting for my 12 week scan date.

Random comment, I don't know if any of you look at any other baby websites but I've had a look at baby centre, OMG are some of the girls bitchy, I couldn't believe how opinionated they were! I am happy to be back on here

[thethomsons]

Manny so pleased your scan went well! You must be so excited! When did u go for your first scan? I'm thinking going to wait till near 8 weeks as means will be passed the 6 week mark where all has stopped before. X

 

[Lou15]

Hooray for your great scan Manny! And your strong FRER Elaine, and a belated Happy Birthday! Think we are doing well with our little thread here. But, Garfie, as Manny says you're not alone, we still have SATH and Horsey to send our baby dust to along with you xx

Yes I have heard they can be a bit bitchy on Baby Centre, so glad everyone here is so nice!

I am still feeling awful, ever day gets harder as there is no end in sight and I just feel like I can't take another single day of this nausea! Worried about nutrition too as in 2nd tri now and still surviving mainly on carbs. Have been prescribed another different anti-emetic, will see how that goes. Cheryl and PopTart, how is your sickness going? x

 

[twinkle_paws]

Hi ladies! Can I join your lovely and lucky thread?
A little bit about me: Got married May 2011 and came off the pill in September 2011, got BFP almost stright away but it was not to be, missed miscarriage in December as baby not growing and no hb Since then had very irregular cycles (normal for me before being on pill) but got BFP again in June 2012 but sadly baby did not grow and had ERPC start of September.
So now I am ntnp and waiting for for first af since ERPC, fertility friend thinks I am 6dpo and we did not bd at the right times so not hopeful this month.
Also, whe I went to se GP just before 2nd pregnancy about my irregular cycles he ran some tests and I was diagnosed with high thyroid antibodies and borderline hypothyroid, have since been started on thyroxine and my levels are now normal so hoping this will help get a 3rd thime lucky bfp.
So that is me!
Looking forward to being part of this thread as you all seem lovley. Best wishes for all you lovely ladies who are currently expecting and good luck to all those TTC that you get your BFPs soon!xx

 

[mannymoo]

Welcome Twinkle Paws. So sorry about your previous losses but you've definitely come to the right place for third time luck. I hope you get your sticky bean BFP really soon. xx

Lou sorry you are still feeling miserable. Surely it must be close to letting up. Hoping that the new meds make a little bit of a difference for you. Have you had your nuchal (sp?) scan yet? And have you started spreading the good news?

Elaine - I had my first scan at 5+6 and got to see a lovely beating little heart. The doctor did warn me that it might be too early to see it at that stage so probably best to try hold on until about 7 or 8 weeks if you can. My next scan is in 2 weeks time, then at 13 weeks and then monthly until DD.

LauBull - I've never posted on baby centre but I've read a bit on there and it really is quite bitchy! We're definitely in the right place right here.

xx

Im hoping you get a positive cycle sign soon be it AF so you know for sure where you are of something different.

Ok Elaine - OMG CONGRATULATIONS - what a brilliant birthday gift for you, I couldnt be happier for you honey, I will give you one bit of advice - no matter how nervous/worried you may be see each little milestone as a huge positive on your part.....each week, booking in app, early scan etc etc it will get you to the point when you realise you are further along than before and you can actually start enjoying the fact you and pregnant and despite the symptoms you may be suffering from you'l be able to smile inside instead of worrying yourself into a hole again.

But just quickly for you Lou - my sickness is still awefull but has changed its pattern since it started and so im trying to alter my routien to suit it once again.....oh and my doc said dont worry too much about only managing certain foods - we still have plenty of time to give baby what baby needs later on ok......as long as babys growing well and all fine in your scans then your all good to keep doing what your doing, xxx

Right must dash, another midwife app at the docs this morning, Love you all, sending baby dust to you ladies and speak later, xxxxx

 

[SATH]

Hi Twinkle-paws, I am so sorry for your loss. You have come to the right place for support, I've recently joined this thread and everyone is so lovely and supportive. It really helps to have people who understand what you have been through. I feel much more positive since I joined here and hopefully we will all have our sticky little beans soon.

BTW I also have a thyroid disorder and take Thyroxine 75 mcg, my GP told me they like it to be 2 or under when pregnant so I have to get it tested regularly as soon as I get a BFP.

 

[twinkle_paws]

Aw thanks for all being so welcoming! It's going to be great to chat to others that will understand what I have been through. Despite it all I'm feeling pretty positive that 3rd time will be IT for us.

Mannymoo and poptart - congratulations on your pregnancies, sounds like you both have a nice sticky bean in there! Looking forward to following your pregnancy journeys.

SATH - is good to know you also have a thyroid condition, I had tests a few weeks ago and they were 'normal' on 100mcg so I am staying on that dose at the moment, dont know what my levels are exactly but will be sure to ask for details after next test in December. Hope you are doing ok after your mmc, I see it was only in August so not that long before mine.

A wee question do you/did you all use OPK's? I already temp etc and considering if I should try these too. I can have quite long irregular cycles so we just tend to bd every other night until I have got pregnant in the past!

xx

 

[Lou15]

I can't believe I've reached navel orange on the ticker!!!

Another member, hooray and welcome Twinkle Paws! I may be a little biased but I reckon we've got one of the best threads going! Your story is a little like mine, I also got married in May 2011, got first BFP in the October, then missed miscarriage in the December. My second miscarriage was a little earlier; late May this year. I am very hopeful that this current pregnancy is going to remain my 3rd time lucky and really hope that you get yours soon too. We're all here for any questions you have, or just to help you get through the TWW etc!

Manny, yes I've had my nuchal scan. Over here they do a quadruple test measuring some things in your blood too, and just got my results through- 1 in 12000 risk of Down's syndrome and no further action required! Hooray, so relieved!

PopTart- thanks for the advice re food intake- was a bit worried but you've put my mind at rest a bit now. Are you 16 weeks now? Any bump yet? Not even a hint of a bump for me, jeans still falling down!

 

[Lou15]

Oh forgot to say Twinkle Paws, yes used OPKs, as cycles a bit all over the place after miscarrying. The clearblue ones with the smiley faces are ace but the internet cheapie ones worked for me too and you can poas as often as you like with them as only a fraction of the cost of clearblue!

 

[twinkle_paws]

Hi Lou! Our stories are pretty similar aren't they. Hopefully I will be following you with a successful pregnancy very soon! Thanks for the info, I think I will go and order some IC OPK's now. The ones in the shops are a bit pricey!
Hope you are feeling better, I saw on a previous post that you are suffering from MS, hope this passes for you soon x

 

[thethomsons]

Twinkle paws - welcome - this is def place to help you through as we have all been there and are helping each other through! Just wanted to say quick hi as I'm on holiday this week and logging on on my iPhone but i will get back on at weekend and reply fully!

Warm welcome though and look forwar to chatting soon x
