TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[MamaMac123]

to Mama and Isaac. Sorry ladies. Fx'd for you. You're still not out.

I try not to symptom spot either. But every month there is something that I notice that wasnt there before. Lol

Thanks Happycpl, the boos for Isaac's my temp did drop a lot today but I'm not terribly concerned. Still above cover line (technically anyway) and its pretty typical for pcos charts to be up and down even in 2ww so I think I'm still okay. Will probably shoot back up tomorrow. Fx

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey that's ok girls! I'm feeling ok it will happen when its ready i'm sure! Thanks for the hugs. You testing soon mama? X

After my low temp this morning I caved and tested. Didn't expect anything really so the : bfn: didn't sting too much but I figured if by some miracle I actually got a faint line it would be cool to have that reassurance while my temp does its up and down madness. Still way too early though. Even if this round I'm just crossing fingers my temp stays above that cover line till AF.

 

[MamaMac123]

Hann that's so annoying! I can't stand how we get dictated to regarding how we birth. We should be able to choose the location we want to have our babies in! Errr the idea is out there for some but have you considered ever doing a home birth? If all is routine with your pregnancy it might be a good option over a crappy hospital. Honestly after what I've learned about hospitals in the states and what I've experienced of medical stuff here in Cananda, I want a home birth with a midwife!

I agree look into home birth. That's what we're hoping to do this time around. I think it'll be a much more relaxing and peaceful environment to have a baby in.

Hope if you don't mind me asking a question in here but did any of you get brown discharge/spotting with your first pregnancies? I've been having it since Saturday and even though my midwife says it's normal it's doing a pretty awesome job of freaking me out.

 

[Hann12]

Marie - I'd be the same, anything like that scares me. I didn't get it but I do know of people that did. I think its to do with your muscles/uterus stretching that can dislodge things a bit. Hopefully it stops because while its 99% nothing, its still not nice to see!

I've just emailed the hospital back and said that I want them to review their decline because a 2 mile difference in distances really isn't significant.
Urghh - Really tired now and while I should be packing I am instead going to sleep! Had such a stressful day and totally unprepared to go on holiday. Oh and there are maggots in my wheelie bin, great!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Ugh gross maggots! We get those as well in our trash bin. So nasty! Hope the hospital gives you the okay. So stupid!

Marie - I of course haven't been pregnant yet but ive read and heard from multiple sources that spotting is totally normal. Some women spot throughout pregnancy and some wen have a period of sorts so I'd say as long as your midwife knows and has checked things out you should be okay. Don't stress yourself out hun. though I'd be the exact same way! So much easier said than done!

Hey marie, have you had a dating scan babes? I never had any spotting whatsoever with pregnancy with ds & the 1st pregnancy ended in mc but mine was heavy & painful cramps although started off with brown spotting! Don't want to say that to frighten as I know loads of women who have had full on bleeding & baby being fine! Are they fitting you in for a scan? Have you got a doppler at home to check hb I found this a big reassurance after mc x

 

[marieb]

I do have a doppler at home and baby seems nice and happy. Heart rate is always between 140-150. I last had a scan at 12 weeks (so about a week and a half ago) and everything looked good.

How long did you have the brown before the bleeding began?

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey that's good I love those home dopplers! I had brown spotting for about 3 days before bleeding but please do not worry cuz my pregnancy never developed like yours! My baby never made past 5 weeks & they only discovered this until nearly 11 weeks. I just had empty sac on ultrasound

 

[MamaMac123]

My DH is so cute...just spoke to him on the phone and he says "so I see you had a pregnancy test thi morning that came out negative"...apparently he's fishing my pee sticks out of the trash. I guess if I do get a and want to hold the announcement for a short bit to do something special then I'll have to adopt some stealth!

 

[elt1013]

Hello ladies...I am going to have to make it short as I have had the worst headache for days now and can't even seem to function properly to do everyday things at this point.

Mama- sorry about your bfn but there is still hope and glad you are staying positive! I had an anovulatory cycle and still find myself symptom spotting, lol, so sometimes it is impossible not to.

Marie- I also didn't have any bleeding with dd, but like the others said, I have heard that alot of people do.

Isaac-sorry about the bfn, but nice positive attitude aswell...and you are exactly right, it will happen when it is supposed to!

Hann- I didn't realize that you can't pick what hospital you want to birth in there? Here, we just choose where we want to go, no matter how far away it is. That is sad that you have to settle for the closest to you. Hopefully the one you want will reconsider!

AFM- My chart is confusing as ever today. Extremely erratic temps and still no AF or spotting. After researching on the internet, I realized that I may have messed this cycle up by taking ibuprofen for my back injury and then now for my terrible headache, since I guess it can screw up ovulation along with other pain relievers. I have been trying not to take anything since finding this out, but I have to as it is so bad that I can't suffer through it. So, I guess whatever happens, happens! Hopefully I will be back to normal soon and done with this bad luck I have been dealt lately.

Sorry if I missed anyone...have a nice day ladies!

Yeah I've heard this elt ibuprofen can interfere with ovulation I don't tend to take it but did a few months ago when I had an oral infection! Not a good drug for fertility. Hoping you Feel well soon headaches suck, i've had one on & off for few weeks & have put it down to sinusitis, so I've started antibiotics today hoping to get nice & well in time for next cycle

 

[sequeena]

Sorry about the s ladies

 

[Hann12]

Elt - do you think you might have ov yesterday hence the dip and rise?

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey elt your pretty safe with paracetamol I think you call it tylenol? Don't suffer hun

 

[elt1013]

Thanks Isaac and Hann...maybe I will start trying tylenol. It doesn't usually work very well for me but it is worth a try. And I don't think the dip and rise in temps was ovulation but I suppose it is possible. I think that the anov cycle is just causing really erratic temps unfortunately.

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey Elt - sorry about the bad headaches you've been having that is miserable. I have a headache tonight (had to hang out with 15 hyper preteen girls at a church activity today...ugh!) and can definitely sympathize! Hope it gets better ASAP!

I'm with Hann on this one though...looking at your chart it looks very much like pre O dip and temp rise for ov to me...guess we'll see if your temp stays up high the next few days. Never know fx!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning girls,

Well my temp dipped a bit more this morning so I'm once again doubting if I really ovulated. Hopefully it's just the curse of the PCOS up and down temps. Ff still says I ovulated so I guess I won't fret unless they take my crosshairs away. Was thinking maybe the drop means AF is on her way....I am 10 dpo and I have no idea what my LP is since I this is my first potential LP charting. Maybe I'll have a short one. But looking back at my last 2 AF my temps stayed high until after my first light flow day. Of course those were both anovulatory cycles so maybe it's different with ovulation. :shrugs: So far no spotting so just have to wait and see. I have zero will power it appears and poas again this am lol still

How's everyone else??
