Good morning Ladies!
I totally feel like AF is coming today which I guess could happen??? My CP was on 5/1 and only had AF (if that was it) for a few days. Very crampy in my left, lower abdomen which happened in the past but not in the recent past (like 2 yrs ago maybe). I'm thinking/hoping maybe ovulating? Or since we've DTD e/o day (clear blue gave me lots of smiley faces...skeptical about that test too). So I have no idea what's going on w/my body. Thursday can't get here quick enough for my doc appt. I normally O on day 13 which is today if I count from CP so maybe I am ovulating. So confused!

So I decided to call my doc's office today told the nurse what was happening since I started to spot which wasn't like the spotting I had on 5/1 that turned into the CP. So I mentioned that we were DTC e/o day and she sorta freaked out in a nice way. She told me I shouldn't be. So I said, he (doc) didn't say not to...LOL. Needless to say, now seeing doc in the morning a day early.

My understanding was that docs like you to have one AF after mc before tryin again . No medical reason though, I think it's just to help with dating.

I too watch one born every minute and it sometimes makes my eyes water!

Morning Ladies

I also watch one born every minute - my eyes water but not as my DH mind you we also like Holby City - we try and diagnose the problems before the Doctors

Bash - Good luck at the docs today hun

Regina - Learn from our mistakes - loving your and Josie PMA

Becks - Did you go through a stage at the beginning when food shopping was so difficult - I keep looking at ideas for tea and nothing appealsnot long until your scan now

AFM - I've got my next lot of HCG tests and then it's off to deliver my Avon (that's my exercise)

Have a good day ladies on this miserable wet morning - where is the sun

I've just discovered a new midwife programme (we only have freeview) called desperate midwives and it's on real at about 3pm each day. There is a great selection of situations, birth styles and backgrounds and is now becoming my regular viewing!

 

[bash73]

So yes, I have the doc at 8am EST, the spotting was only over a couple of hours yesterday that has stopped. So I decided to not only pee on the O test stick but a P stick too and it says "pregnant". So now I'm really confused. When I tell you that the only other positive was 2 weeks ago and even when I started bleeding last time it then showed negative and my blood HCG dropped. SO of course I googled this and it could something BAD or I guess I could be??? I'll keep you all posted after the doc!

 

[Oasis717]

Yes I've seen that Karen xx
Fi I never do the shopping or cooking lol, dh does but he struggled a bit in the beginning as I went off just about everything, he did a seperate meal for everyone else and I ate in another room a lot of the time as I just couldn't bear the smell or the sight of what they were eating! It really was awful for weeks, thankfully we all eat at the table together again and I even had beans on toast yesterday (no one could even say the word beans to me without me wanting to vomit lol) he's so good and never complained, I know it was hard for him but he said it was nothing compared to what I had to put up with so he never minded, he's training to be a chef and loves cooking, so I'm happy to wash up and clear up after, I hate cooking! Xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Bash how confusing!! I hope you get some answers soon, would be fantastic if you were pregnant and as you got a neg after the bleeding before it can't be left over hcg which I had for 17 long weeks after my second mc, let us know how you get on!! Xx

No wonder you are confused , however as you had a negative hpt suggests your hcg levels did fall. So could be pg again? Keep us posted

Just had my scan, it was lush!! Baby wouldn't stop moving, folds in neck for the nuchal scan were nice and low so fingers crossed. Dates have changed though, now 13wks and 5 days, due date 15th November.
I am now allowing myself to get officially excited
better tweak my tickers..
how is everyone else?
hows your sugars lisa?

Now I am back at work I don't have time to scrawl through the posts
But got an early finish today, but when girsl get in form school will be hectic as they knew I had scan today x

 

[bash73]

Back from the doc...didn't get any answers. Only that the HCG from the CP could linger. But I still insisted on knowing how that was possible if when I had a positive, then negative and now 2 weeks later a positive at home? He said it's less in the urine, to which I said my point exactly. Needless to say, took blood and wait to hear but he doesn't think I am, he didn't say that directly but he's leaning that way I think. Treating me for a UTI AGAIN!!! Different antibiotics this time. Who knows anymore, I wait for the phone call of the HCG blood results. Will post later.

 

[garfie]

Crazy - That's wonderful news - did you get a pic? of course you got a pic - can we see pic?

Bash - From what I understand about chemical pregnancies - the HCG doesn't get very high so therefore doesn't have far to fall - for example on baby number 3 my HCG level was only a 9 so fingers crossed you get a nice surprise

AFM - I had my next HCG drawn and she said I had scar tissue in my veins - it should be like slicing through butter - mine isn't no wonder when you think of how many HCG tests, blood tests, hormone tests I have had recently so now my arm is feeling sorry for itself and has some lovely bruises

[Oasis717]

Jan what wonderful news!! So pleased all went well for you and yes get excited!! Lol. Only 6 days to go until mine, I can't wait, baby is now officially kicking hard every day not just the odd kick here and there, it's quite constant xxx
Fi your poor arm, hoping your next result is fab news too xxx
Bash or is it Dawn if you had a neg I very much doubt if its residual hcg from your cp, I never got a neg until 17 weeks after 2nd mc, they started off strong lines and took forever to fade to nothing. Hoping for you it's good news xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Jan, great news, you can start looking forward now!

Bash, you must be even more confused now.

Sugar levels so far today have been very good just got to keep it up.

Went and got prescription from docs today for progesterone, clexane and testing strips still waiting on insulin pens and sharps bucket - good job prescriptions are free because I'd be broke by now!

 

[Oasis717]

I'm glad that muffin and treacle slice was it? Lol didn't have any ill effects Lisa, my you do have to go through a lot with your medications! Xxxxx

Seem to have got away with it!

Just had my weekly workout at gym. 8 lengths of pool followed by quick sit in the spa, then a nice long hot shower. Then 1/2 hour sit in cafe with cup of tea, oat biscuits and the paper!

 

[Oasis717]

Wow sounds lovely! Xxxx

I tried explaining that all to my doc who showed me that my first HCG was 25 and 2 days later was 12 that was 2 weeks ago, soooooo I await the call to see what the number is now. Funnier is the antibiotic for the UTI isn't 100% safe to take if prego hence, I'm not starting it until I hear back.

Either will be fine. thanks

 

[garfie]

Oh Dawn - can't wait to hear the numbers will you get them today? - I wondered if I was still Pregnant from last cycle as this cycle was a bit messed up - but when they drew my first HCG at 50 I knew it was a new and unexpected but totally welcomed new pregnancy

Let's hope your news is the same - fingers crossed
