TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Nope you got me there han, no idea whatsoever! Are you hoping you have a certain sex & are you going to find out at 20weeks? How exciting!

No I really don't mind, I just thought the concept of what she was saying was backwards. I'm sure that if you have transvaginal scan is an exact image so you would need to face outward to see exactly which side it is.

Okay sorry for the slightly off topic, but I know some of you have had scans before and know a thing or two. So in the first tri thread there is a thread about gender guessing using the ramzi method which apparently is that a girl implants on the left and a boy on the right - apparently 97% accurate (never sure on these stats!!). I put my scan pic up to see what they said and the girl wrote back boy because the placenta will be on the right. However I thought that a transvaginal scan shows the actual positions, so if it looks on the right as you look at it then its your left. Does that make sense and am i wrong? This girl says that right is right and that I'm wrong but I don't think I can be because if the scan is actual then you need to turn yourself as if you are in the scan and looking outwards and it would be on my left. I've attached the scan - what do you think??

Sorry Hann, I am afraid I can't be of any help either. I have never had a transvaginal scan and don't know of anyone around here who has. I am guessing it is not common practice in the US or atleast wasn't 5 years ago when I was preg with DD. We seem to all get regular ultrasounds here.

It is quite interesting though and that is quite a high statistic (if true). I hope you find out, so we can test that theory with your scan!

Umm i'm not sure but I see what your saying! So your saying its on your left? So like the same if you look at an xray for example? I've had tv scan but I stupidly forgot to ask for pic I was too busy crying my heart out at the sight of our little jelly bean & little heart flickering! Interesting theory, hopefully I will be able to get a tv scan done next time so i'll have to get a pic & test this theory out!

That's exactly it Issacralph! I spent last night checking and confirming with a load of examples of different websites and I am right, so it means that this girl (who does admit she has no medical abilities and is just guessing) has predicted everyone of her scans for people wrong. Oh dear! I knew her rationale didn't make sense but I wanted to double check!!
Oh and I still have no idea what gender that makes my baby because I don't know where the placenta will form lol!!

How's everyone this morning??

eek, that has to be embarassing!!! Did you question that theory on the thread or are you just going to leave it alone?

AFM- temps still barely above coverline, so not sure what is going on there. On advanced method on FF, they changed my ovulation day to CD31, but I tend to believe the original one (CD26), so I changed the method to FAM. Still no sign of AF though, which is kind of making me question that, so I guess I will just wait and see when she shows.
How's everyone else?

 

[Hann12]

No I went back on the thread and said something - loads of people wpuld have been predicted incorrectly! Not that it's completely accurate but still.... She's US based so prob hasn't seen my post yet. I don't think I was rude though. I checked it with my friend who does X-rays for a living and did done sonography training and I'm not wrong. Also if you google it you see loads of examples where it shows it so that also backs it up. Hopefully she won't take offence!!

Your chart is looking interesting! I wonder of the ovulation date is wrong - you had the whole anovulatory cycle thing before so maybe it's thrown things off a bit? But to have consistently high temps for 2 weeks suggests you did ovulate then. Very strange! Unless you are pregnant, which is still very possible!

Got to run as haven't had lunch yet and feel sick!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning everyone!

Elt - did you test today at all? I'm getting excited for you! Maybe it's an off ov date like ff thinks but could be a bfp on its way fx!!!

Hann - haha sorry but that's funny that she's predicting everyone wrong. Lol glad you mentioned it, though hopefully no one put too much stock in it.

Afm - huge temp jump this morning but I went to bed very late so was only asleep for about 3-4 hours when I checked at 5 am so it could be wrong. Marked "sleep deprived" on my stats to reflect the issue. Guess we'll see where it is tomorrow. May also just be irratic pcos temps running amuck. Lol Starting my soy today! fx it works for me!

 

[runnergrl]

Morning ladies! I just wanted to stop in and see how you are all doing..

Elt-any word?

Hann-I dont think there is any way to correctly identify the sex until after 14 weeks at the earliest Its fun to guess tho!

I *might* be ovulating again... Ive taken a test with OPK yesterday and it was positive.. but Im not certian all the HCG is out of my system.. last friday it was at 62, so could be gone.. I hope so! I would love to be pregnant again without having to have a cycle.. thats what my heart really longs for. can I ask you ladies to pray for this for me? Thanks. Will know for sure tomorrow about my HCG levels as they are being taken again (hopefully for the LAST time regarding my loss.) I want my next visit to my OB to be for pregnancy reasons!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey runnergrl will Defo pray that you her your bfp this time around, hope you get to BD! I so remember feeling the way you are now, I had to wait a desperate 6 months in time but 4 cycles until we got our bfp with ds! Really hope it comes soon for you cuz if you are like me, it is the only thing to lift that heaviness in your heart & emptiness that your feeling right now! I still get sad about my angel baby but its so much easier now I have ds!

Elt- yeah not sure what to make of your chart & temps, maybe shy bfp? Hope so fx'd

Mama- good that AF is out of the way & your starting the soy! See you've got a whacky temp in there? Sending lots of baby dust your way

Han- hope your feeling better now, can't wait to Feel nauseous again, sounds weird that doesn't it? Not sure how fun it will be looking after ds too? You finding it ok?

Afm- I need a slap to get my arse into gear this month, I really Feel like i'm losing interest seriously! Was going to follow smep but that's not happened, really need to start bding!
Still checking opk's negative today but also did ic & line is slowly progressing, I should have full on positive in a few days I reckon? Anyway will attempt to seduce dh tonight & then i'm going to wait until opk turns positive before anymore bding!

 

[Hann12]

Lol Issacralph - BD can be such a chore!! I hope you catch it this time!

Runnergrl - I have everything crossed for you, I really hope you get your bfp this cycle.

Elt - a shy bfp now that would be fab!!

Banana - any news???

Mama - reckon that temp was the lack of sleep. Hopefully back to normal tomorrow

 

[elt1013]

Mama- did you get some bd in just in case? that temp is quite a jump!

runnergrl- I pray you do get your bfp and don't have to have a cycle...that would be nice and like Isaac said, it will probably really help lift your spirits!

Isaac- I know what you mean about losing interest. Sometimes I'm just like, ok, I'm so sick of temping and all that but as soon as O approaches, I snap out of it and kick into gear. Hopefully...seeing those smileys will do it for you!

AFM- I did test this afternoon, SMU, and I am pretty sure I got an evap! I did the test, but had to run to work for awhile, so after about 3 minutes of nothing showing up, I left and when I got back, about 4 hours later, there is something there. I have never had an evap before, but it is an extremely faint line that doesn't really look like it has any color. So hard to tell though because it is so faint and on a cheapy 88 cent walmart test. It was definately past the time limit, so I am just going to assume an evap and not even let myself think otherwise. I will probably cave and retest later tonight though...holding pee starting now, lol. I will let you ladies know...

 

[marieb]

Runnergrl- I really hope it happens for you soon. Praying you get a nice, healthy, sticky rainbow baby

Elt- It's crazy that your LP has been so long without any sign of AF or a BFP. Looking at your chart it definitely looks like you've ovulated. Hope you get that + soon

 

[banana07]

Oh God such alot of catching up to do I only left for a day or two and it was really really quite when I left!!

Ok going to try to do this from memory!!

ELT - sooooooo any updates - hopefully like the girls said its just a shy BFP - I didn't get a pos test with DS until i was a week late. Fx crossed for you How long of an LP is that now?!?!

Issacralph - wait until you see the smiley faces they so fun - I am ragin I didn't get the smileys this month - still doubting my dates a little but I'm 95% confident just always felt 99% confident with the smileys

Runnergirl - fx crossed for you - it would be lovely - praying for you that everything works out x

Hann - I never heard that bout the scan position predicting sex. I know all the high bump low bump etc ones and the needle or coin over the belly and if it sways left and right is one and if it goes in circles its the other etc... I always just thought I knew I was having a boy no idea why, of course I could have just as easily been wrong. Just have a feeling i'll have a girl this
time again no idea why just a feeling!!! - Think I'm a bit BONKERS

Mamamac - how are you getting on - good luck with the Soy - when will you start OPKing???

Afm, totally confused went from having super strong symptoms (which I always have so they not really symptoms) to nothing today really - although I did feel a bit sick coming into the work in the car this morning. Cramps gone, creamy cm not as bad as it was, heartburn gone. I am extremely tired but I'm always tired and I'm really really busy in work but I've been in bed at 10pm every night this and last week very unusual for me. Oh I dunno. Got a feeling today that AF was on her way no symptoms or anything just got a gut feeling. Took all my will power not to POAS this morning only about 8/9 dpo (thought I was 9/10). and I know I'd only be heartbroken if I see the BFN. No idea if AF is due this weekend or on Tuesday could have 10lp like month before last or a 12 day like last month or it could be even longer this month.... so Frustrating!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning girls,

Runnergrl - prayers and coming your way! Fx for a rainbow baby of you!!

Isaac - I know what you mean and I'm sure we all have those times when it's just feeling like a chore and you get so sick of none of it working like you hope...hang in there! And if you don't feel like going full on don't many people say they get those bfps when they stop trying and just relax and enjoy marriage then suddenly poof! Baby! Do whatever feels best for you...and you know we're always here! Fx !!

Elt - I know you're not getting hopes up but mine are up for you!!! I'm so excited for you to test again!!!! Really got a good feeling for you!!!! Fx!!!!

Afm - took my first dose of soy last night. I've read it can give you hot flashes so taking at night helps as you sleep through it. About an hour later I felt really cold and DH said I sounded like I had a fever because I was shivering. I grabbed my thermometer on the nightstand and took my temp. It was super low...95.9 degrees! No idea if this is typical of soy. I just read online that anything below 95 degrees is considered life threatening! I don't know if soy is to blame or if its something else. Has me a bit concerned.

This morning my temp was back to normal after yesterday's extreme highs and lows. Very bizarre.

 

[MamaMac123]

Banana - I took an opk yesterday (can't help it! Let the poas begin...way too early hahaha)

 

[elt1013]

16dpo and BFN with frer!! I am so confused and my temps are creeping back up?? Also no sign of AF.

I have to work, I will catch up more later.

 

[IsaacRalph]

Elt- I hoping your gonna get your bfp it all looks promising, those temps are on the way back up, hang in there!
Mama- good for you poas early I totally would if my ovulation was unpredictable, hoping you get a +ve this month, i bet you'll faint when/if you see +ve! As for the bonking yeah we dtd last night but not going at it nail & hammer this month, i'm goung to see if I get my +opk in next few days & probably dtd few times in that period! Smep can totally do one, far to rigid to follow & Defo making it Feel like a chore. I think this method of bding every other day is better suited to couples who are very unsure of ov! But as I have clear signs & a good idea when this will happen am goung to just wait for that time! My poor dh is usually ready for the scrap heap by the time ovulation is here, we'll see!
Banana- your doing so well not to test but i'm screaming test test test cuz i'm so excited for you to find out. Those symptoms sound really good esp the sickness!
You gonna cave & test tomoz? I always find my pms symptoms are worse from about 5-10dpo then ebb away until few days before AF when I get the cramps again & sore boobs
Han- you ok?
Afm- ds is poorly raging temps, been to gp he has throat & ear infection, bless him! He's usually full of life but is just sat on me today, took the day off work. I starting to Feel a bit under the weather too getting a sore throat & achey bones, its just so typical that its all happening just before ovulation. But to be fair i'm still feeling a little fed up with it all so its way down on my priority list! Have a few days off now so hopefully we'll both get our mojo's back.

 

[Jessicabaxter]

16dpo and BFN with frer!! I am so confused and my temps are creeping back up?? Also no sign of AF.

I have to work, I will catch up more later.

Your not out yet I know I've said this b4 ladies but just reminder I didn't get my BFP till 20-21 dpo and week late. Lil beans can take lil longer to fully implant! Lots of luck to u! I'm praying for u all!


Hang in there!

 

[Hann12]

I'm super excited for you elt and banana!!

Mama - yay for poas, I would if I were you!! Weird that you were cold after taking soy, see how you get on tonight maybe. Hopefully it was just a coincidence!

Hey Jessica - how's baby?

I'm fine, got 2 different anti emetics this morning so hopefully I'll be back on my feet again soon! Got inlaws here so they are helping out which is nice. Got to go to London tomorrow which is a pain but need to hand back my work property as my last day is next week.
My BIL (DH's older brother) and his wife are being all off with us, it's really stupid just because my inlaws left them a few hours early and came to us they are ignoring us. They haven't even congratulated me even though they found out about the baby yesterday. Both me and DH have text them and said sorry, though there is no real reason to, and thru have ignored us! My SIL also told my MIL that she thinks I can't cope and she's concerned for us! I can cope, I don't see anything wrong with asking for some help if its offered though. My inlaws love my DD and so it's not an imposition, but they never ask for help - they think they are perfect and can cope alone, even though their parenting style is shocking at times!
Sorry for the rant, it's just quite upsetting as they have managed to turn a happy announcement into something all about them! When I got pregnant with my DD and announced it at 8 weeks they decided to start trying that week for their no. 2 and fell pregnant straight away so there is 8 weeks bet my DD and their daughter. I think they have enjoyed having the baby of the family and are prob a bit put out by our news. They are just so annoying anyway!!
Sorry for the mega rant!!

Isaacralph - really hope your little boy feels better soon

 

[MamaMac123]

Hann - that is really annoying about your brother and sister in law. Not at all what you want when you announce such good news! hope it all sorts out. Ha maybe they'll try for #3 now just to try and one up ya...sounds like they want the attention or something...that would frustrate and annoy me for sure!

Isaac - hope your ds feels better soon! I had sick little nanny kids the past 2 weeks with strep throat. No fun at all

Elt - was going to say exactly what Jessica reminded of...could still be early for bfp. Especially if that dip in temp was implantation. Think I read last cycle it takes like 6-7 days past implantation to get a bfp so if you maybe implanted later it could be a few more days. Fx! This is exciting for u!!!!!

Jessica - goes your little bean? Any ultrasound pics yet?? Would love to see them!
