Trying before AF?

[xxemmyxx]

emmy, i think it's happened before that it takes forever to get af - maybe twice in my life. i think sometimes you dont ovulate though and af does come on time? my cycles are so long, who knows what on time is anyway.

I googled obviously cus that's what I doooo!! And it said that if you don't ovulate you don't get a natural period, if you bleed it's cus of a dip in oestrogen or that the uterine lining gets so thick it has to shed...I have had 7 week cycles before and I don't think I ovulated during them, I don't know but I just had a feeling I didn't xx

BritneyNChris, last time that happened to me, i was pg

Well I miscarriaged 5 weeks ago, that also what my close friend told me she is 40 weeks pregnant and has them now but not when she wasn't pregnant. My husband and I were trying to get pregnant after our loss but I don't think I'm pregnant its to early to even tell. But thanks much for responding.

[markswife10]

BritneyNChris, I had that when I was pregnant. It happened a LOT when I was pregnant. Haven't had it since or before.

Hey Ladies
I was wondering if any one has felt sharp shooting pains in their vagina before I've been getting this pain on and off and it really sucks I don't know what could be going on

I had this when I was pg, but also once when I thought I was ovulating?

FX you're preggo!

Markswife! 2WW wahhooo!

Sorry to you ladies having these horrifically long cycles! Damn you witch!

Mwah!

[mummy2o]

Good luck Markswife. I'll send some babydust your way.

Britney looking forward to hearing your results.

AFM I went to the doctor today about something unrelated and thought I'd bring up my 2 days of spotting (well the 30 minutes on both days) and he thinks that was probably my period. So now not sure what to think.

 

[flapjack10]

I don't know hun? So confusing!

I didn't have it the first time around if I am pregnant, and never happened to me when I was ovulating these past couple of days have been the worse. This morning the sharp shooting pain woke me up then went away they come and go but not everyday. I'm going to text in the morning I will keep you guys posted

 

[BritneyNChris]

Thanks Mummy2o I will keep you posted on my results in the A.M. along with my doctor visit on Monday.

This will be a rant so I'm sorry before hand but I'm just frustrated.

I'm constipated which is not fun at the best of times, then to top it off I'm beginning to get a urine infection, which to the amount of times I've peed lately wouldn't be surprised. I still haven't got my first AF and holding off a pregnancy test (more for my own peace of mind) until Wednesday as OH is moaning about wasting money on unimportant things, especially if it comes back negative. I am still sleeping more than normal, I still have my cold and getting aches and pains all over my body, one minute lower back, next cramps, next headache. I can't stand, sit or lay anywhere as I just can't get comfy atm

 

[markswife10]

Fingers crossed BritneyNChris!!!!

Mummy2o hope all of your symptoms are from pregnancy!

Thanks girls! I'm quite sure I am 2 DPO today because my temp was even higher today. I SOOOO hope we made a baby, but we will find out in about 12ish days or so.

 

[Libbysmum]

My question is...If you don't wait for AF then how do you tell if you are or are not pregnant? Am I suppose to just wait til I feel sore breasts and feel nauseated? I mean with my first pregnancy I just felt "different" even before AF was due I "knew" I was...got a test done 5 days before I was expecting the flow and bingo...two lovely little lines...but with my 2nd pregnancy...I had no symptoms and didn't even know til 9 days after missing my AF however even though at 6wks and 3 days we had a heartbeat by 11wks I had a mc. Now I was thinking TTC but haven't had the AF and am thinking how will I know? Do I just wait til I can't do up my top button on my jeans? Sorry for the long post...I am just curious.

Hey Markswife do you remember me from the other forum? I am sorry about your loss...just wondering how I take off my lily thingo and change it now that I am no longer preggers? I am so not very technical.

Hey Libbysmum, yes I do remember you! I'm sorry for your loss too hun! To take your ticker off go to the user CP at the top, then under "settings and options" on the left side of the screen you will see "edit signature". Click that and it will bring you a box with all your codes in it. select everything from [ url ] to [ /url ] (no spaces) and delete it.

To answer your other question, how long ago did you MC? For me I had been checking my HCG and it was negative just over a week ago, and I've been taking my BBT and OPK's to see if I ovulate so I know when to expect AF. I'm 2DPO right now. So now, knowing I have negative HCG, any positive HCG home pregnancy test will tell me I'm pregnant if I am. Or if I'm late for my AF which should be here in less than 2 weeks provided I'm not preggo. If you haven't tracked anything, though, did your doc tell you how many weeks you should expect AF? If you haven't had her by the time your doc told you she should show, then I would take a test just to see. again hun! Hopefully we will both be preggo again very soon!

mark'swife 10, i got a smiley face today, hopefully ill see a temp rise tomorrow and i'll be with you in the 2ww

 

[Libbysmum]

Thank you so much Markswife, I hope that fixed the issue with Lilypie. I was told by the hospital that I should get the AF anytime from 4-6wks... so I guess anytime now...Do you get paranoid about it. Every time I go out I am thinking "What if I get it today?" I worry that I will have to rush home and change my clothes or something. I haven't been checking my Hcg levels or anything...so I have no idea if I am positive still or not.

 

[mummy2o]

libbysmum, I am in the same boat. They never told me to check if I got a negative pregnancy test or my bloods, they just said you can try again now. They never even told me when to count the first day of my miscarriage so really confused about the whole thing. (My doctor said from the first day of bleeding when I saw him, but I decided to count it from when I passed) which would give me 4 weeks monday. I will be testing thursday morning (or wednesday evening if I can't wait). If it is infact positive I will probably phone the doctor or midwife and ask for my bloods to be done to see what is going on.

 

[xxemmyxx]

When I mc the doctor made me come back to the hospital every week where they tested my hcg levels until it was eventually 0 and therefore a negative hpt and then they discharged me sayin I could expect a period within 4-6 weeks and if I don't to do a test. So many women I see on here don't get this treatment, they just get told they are having a mc and it's never followed up. My doctor said they monitor that the mc is problem free and that everything comes away how it should and that no tissue is retained still giving off hcg etc, it also gave me a bit if closure with that pregnancy cus the worst feeling is still getting positive hpt and feeling pregnant when you know your not really anymore so once I got a 0 level I knew I could start trying again.
Sorry for the rant but I can't believe some doctors just leave you to work it all out by yourself
If you are trying before your AF comes, you can ovulate as sson as 10-14 days after first day of mc so 4 weeks after mc you could become pregnant again, only way to tell is POAS lol if you don't get your AF by 6 weeks after mc I would POAS again lol! But also bear in mind that sometimes first cycle after mc can be very long or you don't ovulate, good luck newbies xxxx
