TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[AllisMommy]

Thans Mama and Mel. My fingers are crossed too! I was not sure if I would be ready so soon, but I feel that I am.

So symptoms

dpo 1-5 nothing realllly significant. Some normal twinges and pulls, but that's just normal for me.
dpo 6 - cramping
dpo 7 - cramping, fatigue, headaches, dizziness
dpo 8 - same as 7 with bbt dip
dpo 9 - same as 7 and 8 with added bleeding gums and increased dizziness. Anyone else in the 2ww?

hey thats normal thats all i wanted after my mmc back in 2010 before ds, it took us another 5 long months to concieve our ds! But it sounds like you and your partner are really fertile, it only took one try didn't and you got your bfp, correct me if i'm wrong! I'm waiting to ovulate so i haven't got the agony of the tww just yet, last month was just awful as i had so many symptoms but it turned out to be pms. It sounds like your in tune with your body, maybe you should test in next few days! hoping that you get your bfp,good luck

It took us one month of NTNP, and we have our angel baby...
So this is first month post the mmc...so we will see! I do know my body pretty well...but it's days like today I sit here and think...have i had heartburn this whole cycle or has it just been since O..I cant remember, and I dont usually chart my symptoms..

I hope you've been lucky this month Allismommy!

I could be 6dpo but I also may not have ovulated so I may or may not be in the 2ww! I've had lots of cramping and backache today and a bit of cm but of no substance, No spotting though as yet but there is still time! My temps are all over the place so I can't say what's going on there!

 

[MamaMac123]

Just took another OPK and yet another negative....honestly at this point I feel like getting a positive OPK would be more miraculous than seeing a unicorn trotting down my street! Feels like its never gonna happen for us

 

[Hann12]

Mama hopefully it means that AF is about to arrive instead? At least that way you get to start afresh. Obviously a positive opk would be great too but I'm assuming that anything is better than nothing. Opks are really tough sometimes! I am constantly POAS even now as I just keep assuming I've not ovulated and they are whiter than white! It's very disheartening! I hope something happens soon for you - hopefully the fact that your temp dropped is a good sign one way or another

Does anyone know how early in pregnancy a dr can tell by ultrasound?

Yeah hun they normally see a sac at about 4-5 weeks, then fetal heartbeat between 5-6 weeks, needs to trans vaginal scan to see pregnancy this early though! Why do you ask? X

I have been having HORRIBLE back and pelvic pain these last few days. To the point that I went to the ER yesterday. They did and ultrasound then and said I had some fluid but there wasn't any cysts on my ovaries and could not figure out why I was hurting so bad. No UTI, no kidney stones or infection, no bladder infection. Nothing. They did a urine test for pregnancy but no blood test. Urine was negative. I ovulated sometime between the 4th and 8th of this month. I don't temp, I'm just going off the OPK's. Could it be too soon since they didn't check my blood? Or would they have seen that on the ultrasound?

 

[IsaacRalph]

Well 1 you could be too early if you ovulated between 4th-8th too even pick it up by hpt and 2 you would Defo not see anything on an ultrasound abdomen or vaginal its just too early! So you could potentially be leading up to 4 weeks, sometimes there are tell tail signs like a luteal cyst if your pregnant?? Sometimes you can have luteal cysts without pregnancy & they can go pop causing pain and not be able to show up on ultrasound! Are you feeling better now?

That's reassuring some. I'm still feeling loads of pressure in my pelvic area today and lots of cramping in my back. The first physician I saw at my primary DR's office (my dr wasn't available) thought I was getting ready to start my period. I went off on him. On a scale of 1-10 my pain was a 10. AF pain is not that bad. I hurt as bad as I did when I was in labor with my daughter. So I went straight to ER since he didn't help. ER really wasn't much more help other than having to give me 4 Percocet in 3.5 hours b/c of the pain being so intense. I followed up with my OB/GYN and he also wasn't any help. I felt so hopeless. Since no one did blood work I worry about it being ectopic if we are.

But at what point do I go back and demand more answers? At what point do we test again? I thought about calling my old OB and going back to them. He has seen me since I was 12. His office is just so busy there.

 

[HappyCpl]

I have had a lot of N/V since Saturday. They gave me phenregan(SP?) for that. Of course it just knocks me out. I cried all day yesterday and DH just felt so helpless.

I'm surprised they didn't do any blood work to rule out things, I work in a&e and we normally do bloods with anyone with abdomen pain as it can have number of causes & testing the inflammatory markers & white cell count can tell a lot in these situations and I Defo think they should have checked serum hcg.So they've ruled out uti, & I assume they looked at your appendix etc?? Did they mention anything like endometriosis?? did they do any swabs of your vagina, anything like that??I think if your still unwell tomorrow you should go back and insist in a blood test to check for infection & pregnancy! Hope this is a good thing for you and you end up preggers. Feel free to contact me for advice if your condition changes x

 

[HappyCpl]

Thank you so much IsaacRalph. They do not feel like it was my appendix. But I was shocked they didn't do any blood work. How could they rule out infection? Also, no swabs either. Only urine, pelvic exam, and vaginal U/S. I have a history of endometriosis but it has never felt like this.

 

[MamaMac123]

I'm so sorry happycpl that all sounds awful. hope someone is able to give you some answers and hope the pain gets better.

Hey keep believing it will happen hun, just have faith in yourself! Are you particularly stressed at the moment besides ttc, do you do anything to relax?

Thanks hun, other than all the ttc drama of my own body I'm not too stressed out. Job is great, things with DH are wonderful. I'm a pretty happy camper other than my stupid body.

 

[AllisMommy]

Isaac, I love how informative you are to everyone. Took the words out of my mouth. There is no way the ER I have done clinical in for Nursing would ever discharge without blood work. That's like protocol with abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, and a NPO diet. Crazy they didn't do that for you HappyCpl.

So, the gums are super sore today. And started bleeding when I brushed this morning and this evening. My front teeth also feel a little sore. (it's not my hygiene as I have never had a cavity in my life and never experienced tooth pain). It almost feels like I was hit in the mouth Any idea if these are symptoms..

Also..may be TMI..but my labia are sore. Like they just have dull pain, not a sting..more like almost cramping.

Nothing going on with bbs. But then again, I didnt notice bbs discomfort with my angel baby or with dd (until milk came in).

Let's see. Poor balance, and kinda dizzy/lightheaded when going from lying to standing.

Hoping these are good signs.

10dpo tomorrow.

Allismommy - its all sounding good for you - are you going to test? FX for you!

Happycpl - I hope you are feeling better, I can't offer any better advice than the ladies already have, it sounds like they have covered it all with good advice but just wanted you to know I was thinking of you

mama - any sign of anything else?

IssacRalph - hi, not long now before you get BD again!

Mel - any positive opks yet?

AFM - no updates, I posted my chart on to FF for an expert to look at and they think I havent ovulated. They think my body geared up for it and it didn't happen. I think they are probably right. Whether it was the soy or not who knows. Blood test on Friday (did end up moving it because my DH is off work on Friday so its easier to have it then because he can look after DD while I go). I have been really stressed this month because I'm trying to find out whether I'm going back to work, and its been a difficult time and still not over so maybe thats had a bigger impact than the soy. Hopefully once a decision is made I'll be starting off a new cycle and it will be more successful! In the meantime I have to stop worrying about my cycle, just wait for the test results, and focus more on what I am going to do about my job!

Hey hun yeah period almost done, it only last for about 3 days then its gone, very lucky not to have horrible heavy painful periods! I suffer before hand though. I was just wondering what happens to your chart if you take out + opk?? Will be interesting to find out your results of bloodtest but i'm guessing you won't find out until next week?? I only find put mine so soon is cuz I have access to the system so within an hr or so they're there! Yeah dh is feeling the abstinence now he's virtually gagging for me, bless him!

 

[Hann12]

If I take the opk out then it says I haven't ovulated, just taken it out. Think my body geared up to then didn't. Whether that means I still will later or not at all is anyones guess! I've read stories of both happening! I just want this cycle to be over so I can start again!

You are lucky to only get 3 day AF, mine are 6/7 days and quite heavy.
