Trying before AF?

[flapjack10]

It's strange because so many people, including doctors, have said to me, "In the old days you wouldn't have even known you were pg". Then to give the advice to wait before TTC is a bit dubious. If in the old days I wouldn't have known, I would have just kept trying...! I understand if they mean to wait in order to be ready emotionally. I think if you feel ready emotionally then go for it.

Saying that is AF does arrive I will feel a bit better that my body has had a break, and will look forward to getting back to BDing!

I totally agree flapjack, but my male OB told me to wait bc statistics states that if i dont wait its a chance that i will miscarry again. Of course i didnt wait and i got prego again but i did miscarry again as well. but im not at all giving him the satisfaction that i m/c bc i didnt wait and he was right. Bc women do wait and still after AF come several times still cant concieve. And im not saying that he dosent know what he's talking ab but i know in my heart my body will do what it wants and if my body could tell itself to miscarry bc something wasnt right in my very first pregnancy what does giving it time do, i've never been pregnant b4 my first pregnanct and he couldnt tell me why i m/c that time but can tell me that it will happen again if i dont wait, yea like i said it's my body and whatever happens then i will just have to deal with it and my stubborness

there are women that do wait the 1 month or whatever eloted time frame after a MC and they still MC also. U just never know.... It is truely a miracle when it finally happens. so many things have to be perfect in order to make the baby healthy

 

[flapjack10]

CD37 for me - still no AF

I just want her to get here now so I can start again!

Hope you lovely ladies are ok!

[Little J]

[flapjack10]

[Little J]

im good. Crampy.... and of course it worries me but i know its normal

i called the Dr.s today and asked if i was able to up my progesterone dosage or do a follow up progesterone test in fear of maybe my levels not being where we need them to be (only bc i dont wanna lose this baby!)

ill hear back this afternoon. I just want to make sure i am doing everything i can on my part so i dont feel like i wanna kick myself in the butt if the worst was to happen.

How long are your cycles normally?

 

[flapjack10]

Well done for getting on it and for being so proactive. I've sending all my thoughts and prayers for your baba to stick.

I don't know how long my cycles are because I was on BCP for so long.

It took 28days for AF to come after coming off BCP. Then:
1st cycle: 32days
2nd cycle (MC): 35days

So confused!

But it'll be alright!

 

[Little J]

i would call ur Dr. and let them know what your cycles have been doing..... maybe you need to be on progesterone for having long cycles? Mine were 33-34 days on the dot after i got off BCP

maybe they can help and give some guidence?

 

[jaggers]

My test are even screwing with me. I have internet cheapies, and went and got some walmart .88 cent test as I'd read good reviews and been told they may read down to 10mIU. I get a faint looking line on those, a shadow on my IC, but when I got a FRER it looks about stark white. I took the FRER in the afternoon after a 2 hr hold but STILL it should show SOMETHING if I have any hope. Not cool. I kept trying to get keep my excitement down just in case but you guys know how hard it is.

 

[Little J]

the images wont work...... give it a few more days anyways and re-test again!

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies, little J, i hope those cramps ease off some but if it implying a good thing that the little bean is trying to snuggle in and get comfortable for the whole nine months then bring on the cramps

flapjack im sorry about your cycle and this horrid waiting but im hoping you get the BFP instead, stay positive, i didnt feel any signs until i was 6wks in, but at the same time i didnt know i was prego either so maybe i wasnt paying that much attention, but i hope it works out for u ma'am.

jaggers its ok to get excited, i have my fingers crossed for u ma'am!

 

[flapjack10]

FX for you all! Jaggs it so rubbish! I wish it was just white or line and non of this faint line business!

I might go see the doc if the cycle gets stupidly long! I might have a look on the NHS website and see what they say actually.

I'm going to test on Saturday if AF doesn't come.

to all of you!

Ladies I feel so blue I miscarried almost 9 weeks ago, I was bleeding for 5 weeks so had such along wait to stop bleeding and now I've been waiting 4 weeks for AF to arrive. Bfn again on Monday and no hint of AF except for cramps on tuesday night that woke me up and had me so convinced she had shown that I went to the loo to put on a pad but nothing!! Why is my body torturing me? I hate this, and its my birthday on Sunday and all
I want to do is enjoy it but I can't

 

[baileybubs]

Oh but I have just noticed your ticke little j!!! Yay congratulations!!!! Sorry I missed it before, I've been away for a few days so missed a lot!

Hope everyone else is doing ok xxxxx

 

[nevergivingup]

Baileybubs, im sorry you're going through all this pain and torture, but you are soo not alone in this situation. I bled for 5wks my first m/c and this m/c i will be bleeding for 4wks come tommorrow. My hcg has been 0 for 3wks now and soon as i think the bleeding has stop here it shows up again as well as the horrid cramps and on top of that, i tried explaining to my OB that im still cramping and i need some medicine and she tells me im not gettin anymore medicine bc i shouldnt be cramping this longtalkin about frustration....

 

[jaggers]

It's really frustrating not having a clue what your body is doing. I got a positive OPK today (Which is also the day AF would usually show on my "normal" 28 day cycle. Not that this one is normal...

I'm not feeling very "Flo"-y, or much of anything...
I tried a HPT again this morning (Yes, I'm an addict, I'll admit it.) and I got one neg and this:
https://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa138/wcs40110/1-2.jpg
SOOOOO faint, maybe there, maybe not???
With my last one the line didn't show until 2 days late. I tested one day early and nothing, 2 days late:
https://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa138/wcs40110/IMAG0807_opt.jpg

FAINT.
I dunno. I'm just going to try again tomorrow (And prolly the next day, and next, and next, until Flo shows or I get 2 lines.) Meanwhile I guess it can't hurt to BD?


By the way--- Sorry you guys are still going through this. I can't begin to imagine how frustrating that must be. I know I'd be ticked at the doc by now. I hope all goes well soon!!!

 

[flapjack10]

Jaggs - I see lines on both those HPTs, but I have serious line eye. I hope it's your sticky bean! Let us know when you test again.

Bailey - I'm sorry hun. I feel down too. Still no AF and I've been wearing a pad the last couple of days. Testing tomorrow morning, but don't expect a BFP at all.

Love to you all!

 

[Little J]

jag i see a faint + in the last test! theres def. so hope there! test in a few days!!!!!

 

[Little J]

My my follow up results back from progesterone. My initial results were an 8, now they are a 12 after being on the 200mg promtetirum orally 1x a day! I asked the Dr. if it was ok to take 2x a day now just as a saftey blanket bc im still in the lower part of the bracket (ranges usually 8-47 in the first tri) she said she thought my levels were good now but if it makes me feel better i can take 2x a day. So i am!
