Trying before AF?

[vietmamsie]

Thank you emmy and aknqtpie! One of my friends is home in the states now and will bringing me back a whole bag of FRERs! I can't wait! I won't have them until February, but that's ok, I've made it this long without them, I can make it another few weeks. I live in Vietnam, so I'm not sure it would be very cost effective to mail them. It would be cheaper just to get a blood test done each cycle actually..

Army Wife: Sadly, my friend's family has given up the rescue search for my friend, and instead are now looking for the body. We have been a mess over here... I've been calling his fiance a lot and our whole community has been lighting a lot of incense and visiting temples to send positive energy to give him a safe transition. It's so sad, but it really reminds us to live in the moment, don't take life for granted, and make sure to tell your loved ones that you love them. You never know when it will all be taken away.

AFM, I'll test again tomorrow and let you know the results.

Sorry about your friend

Your temps are looking good though!

so so sorry to hear that viet. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends.

Viet...what a tragic event! I am so sorry for your friend and the family must be so upset! I was really hoping for a more positive outcome.

How is everyone doing since Christmas/boxing day? DH has been working hard doing extra shifts and early starts and late nights...I feel like I have barely seen him at all in the past few days. I hope tonight we get to eat together as a family...not sure what I am planning to cook for dinner yet. We have our NT scan today. I am super worrying the worst but praying for the best. DD is happy watching the garbage truck out the window at the moment waving and saying "hello" as it goes up and down the street.

Thanks for the support. We've all been a wreck here, my husband especially. He's taken many days off work and I've just never really seen him like this. I handle grief a bit differently and just keep on doing, trying to block out what all is going on all day and trying to be productive. It's just such a tragedy.

I'm officially allowing myself to obsess during this tww as a means of coping.

I tested this morning. Three different tests. All had a second line, ranging from very faint, to light but clear. These are not either of the brands that gave me false positives last cycle. In fact all three of these ones were totally blank last cycle - which was why I was not sure of my lines last cycle. I plan to use my other digital on NYE if AF hasn't shown up. It's due on the 30th, so we'll see....

Exciting!!!!

AFM - Bleeding is slowing down. So hoping I can BD this weekend!!!

Viet - so sorry about your friend. GL with tests!

Emmy - sounds like a plan! Wedding planning is amazing and you'll have so much fun. I'm so proud of you for planning out everything and focussing on positive things.

Libby - how's the scan go?

 

[Libbysmum]

hey Flapjack, It was great... I got to see the baby peanut jumping around everywhere. He or she even posed for a photo and waved to everyone. They say my risk of downs or other genetic disorder is low...hooray! Have you had your scan yet?

 

[vietmamsie]

ok... lines are continuing to darken up. They showed up within a few seconds and are clear on each of the tests I took. I showed them to my husband, he glanced at them from about a meter away and said, "oh yeah, your pregnant!"

I still have my last digital FRER which I will use tomorrow or monday to confirm, but it looks like this is headed in the BFP direction.... I really hope this is it, I don't think I could handle a false positive (well, that would be a lot of false positives.... i have taken 11 tests so far that have had second lines!) or another MC.

Attached is a pic of my tests from today compared to the ones from two days ago. I took the picture about an hour after I took the tests, so the lines had partly dried and faded a bit. (click on the picture to see it bigger!)

 

[Libbysmum]

YAY Viet...Very good news! I pray this one sticks...all the best!

 

[aknqtpie]

Definitely looks BFP to me!!! Can't wait to see the digital!

Thinking good thoughts and positive vibes for you hun x hope bleeding settles and isn't anything sinister x what was the bleeding like - spotting or heavier?

 

[vietmamsie]

Oh Libby, I'm thinking very positive thoughts for you. Are you able to get into the doctor today?

klcuk: I'm continuing to get positive tests. Looks like I'm pg again. Trying to keep positive that this is a sticky bean. How far along are you? I'm 3+6 today.

Think I'm the same as you! Congratulations x I'll think super sticky healthy thoughts for you xx

 

[aknqtpie]

Libby - Positive thoughts your way!

Viet - I think you need to take your digital YAYYYY!!!!

 

[Starry Night]

Libby - sending good thoughts your way! You're almost in the second tri so I personally would head over to the ER just to get checked out. I had loads of bleeding with DS up until 14 weeks. At 14 weeks they kept me overnight as 2nd tri bleeding is something they take more seriously. This isn't to scare you as my 14 week bleeding turned out to be OK. Just not to worry about being blown off by the staff.

viet - ooh, things are looking very positive! I think you have your bfp!

AFM - have a horrible stomach bug so that's why I'm not around much.

 

[Libbysmum]

Thanks ladies,
Stary the hospital told me that any bleeding before 20wks go to ER so that is where I went. They saw me almost straight away which I was happy about cause with my recent mc they made me wait for hours and I bled everywhere which was horrible as I had no change of clothes to wear. This I mentioned to them at the beginning so they were pretty nice and thorough with the examination etc I think they worried I would place a written complaint if I had similar treatment.
The Doctor was very nice and helpful and asked if I wanted a scan...I said sure. So got to watch the peanut bouncing about happily. Does anyone know if you can tell if your baby has epilepsy from a scan cause it was so energetic I wondered if it was normal. Heart beat was around 160bpm.
Will go tomorrow to normal GP and see what she says.
