So exciting, I always look on here for updates. Hi Lisa and Becks, I'm Jo. Love seeing/hearing the news/updates. I am in a better mood as come back from the gym. I am getting obsessed wth POAS lol. Is it best just to do one OPK a day until it starts looking a bit more positive. I keep doing 2 lol. Looking good Becks xxx
 
Thanks Lisa i am now allowing myself to be happy! Even feelin a little nausea tonight, bit early for that I thought! Xxx

Jo I have gone through about 60 ic hpt's 50 opks and about another £60 in dearer tests over just the last three months! I am def a poas aholic lol. I did one a day then when they start to darken two a day:) xxxxx

Becks, looking good.

Jo, I did one a day too, until it started to get a little darker.

over the last 12 months I have spent a fortune in OPK and HPT.

In November i had a uNK killer cell test done, as this can be something that causes miscariaige, although usally in first time moms. The NHS does not fund this and it cost £360.00 to get this done.

Result was negative. At the same time they did something to my womb, some sort of little scrape or something, not quite sure, but they reckon this is good for the womb. Not really sure of all the technical reasoning.

So with one thing and another i am nearly bankrupt!!!!!!
 
Wow £360 is a lot of money but then we'd do whatever we could to get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy, that's one of my worries that they flatly refused to give me any tests until I've lost 3:( so unfair! Well my temp is still up and my boobs are still a bit sore so feelin ok. Can't do any tests yet as despite only having one coffee (decaff of course) I've been weeing for England and its far too dilute so perhaps later this aft, hope everyone's well xx

i know what you mean about weeing, i can`t stop. I am so tired as well, i was in bed early last night, woke briefly in night for a wee and then slept til about 6.15 when little one woke. felt like i hadn`t slept. Not having any morning sickness yet, although haven`t felt quite right the last couple of mornings. Don`t know if I`m trying to make myslef sick to make sure everything is it should be, if you know what I mean.

i am so desperate, like you, for this to work out this time.

My doctor was great, she refered me after my loss in Jan last year. I saw the consultant in May last year. she did all the normal tests fo diabetes, thyroid and some others, which all came back negative.

After my MMC in sept, i think she was a little stumped. She is one of the country`s leading experts in miscarraige. She suggested the progesterone due to short LP, but she did comment that we should put a time limit on things, as she was wooried about my mental state!

After the Sept MMC we had tissue taken for testing, which takes 3-4 months for results, she was suggesting we wait for after the results as she was worried about the effect this was having on me. i looked at her and said i`m not prepared to wait, i said it was causing me more mental strees to be waiting around. My DH was in agreement with her, but they could see i was having non of it. That`s when she suggested the uNK test and the progesterone.

Her theory with progesterone is that it makes you less fertile, so when you do get PG it should be a keeper. She said average time to get PG at my age is 6-9 months (41) We got PG first time this time around!!!!!

Time will tell I suppose.

Lots of appointments coming up. At diabetic clinic at hospital on Tuesday morning, scan on Friday. They want me back at diabetic clinic on monday afternoon, but i shall try and put this off, I don`t need to be there that often and it`s a pain with the school run.
midwife coming out to see me 8th feb!

It`s all go now, so hoping that this ones a sticky bean!!!!
 
I know hun you've been really lucky, I only wish my doc was the same but she couldn't of cared less, I can't understand why I couldn't have a simple blood test at least to check hcg levels, thyroid etc. I had mmc in Sep and my tests were positive after right up until the end of November from that so I think it took my body much much longer to recover from that natural mc than it did my mc in June which I needed a d & c and 2 blood transfusions for. We have beat those odds then as its only taken us 2 months to get pregnant at 41:) I'm worried I'm not going to be given any extra care bearing in mind two mc and my age but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about that xxxx

That is definately a lovely line now!
At least you will have an early scan, its better than nothing, but is a long wait til 12 week scan.
If all ok friday I will have another scan 2 weeks after that and so on!
I want the scan, but so scared as well.
I hate sitting in that room waiting then lying on the bed waiting for scan to start.
Getting all worried now just thinking about it.
 
So pleased for Lisa and Becks!!! Its lovely reading your updates and fingers crossed you both go the full 9 months this time too.
And hello to the new ladies too.

My blood tests came back all ok, and I am cd12 so reckong I will ovulate in either monday or tuesday if last 3 months are anything to go by.
My clearblue fertility monitor got a high this morning and I usually get three highs then a peak and I usually get a positive opk the day I get the peak.

Hate to think how I much I have spent. Well only two more cycles to wait before they refer me to a fertility specialist. Although my doctor thinks problem may lie with other half .

Hopefully we dont need to see doctor for more tests.

Snow came down heavy here last night again but thawing already.

Just deciding what to watch with the kids tonight while my lovely other half has a catch up with his mates. He has been instructed not to drink too much as he has a job to do in the morning haha
 
Thank you crazymam I'm so hoping you and the other ladies are right behind us, have a lovely eve, all our snow is melting!!


Lisa I know me too the thought scares the life out of me, the sonographers face said it all last time with the mmc, the thought of going through it again fills me with dread, part of me doesn't want one cause I'm so scared, going back in the hospital alone is nervewracking after loosing both there.....But I am telling myself everything will be different this time, positive thoughts Lisa positive thoughts!! Xxxx
 
Hi, yes try to keep positive xx bit of ewcm yest and temp gone up this morning. Will do opk later but had a second faint line yest. Think i am on cd 9. I am at south normanton at the mo. Loads of snow. looking forward to the updates xxx
 
Hi all,

crazymam - thanks very much and sending lots of baby dust your way

Jo - sounds like things are going in the right direction, EWCM def a good sign. If you look a few pages back you will see my Ff chart, my temp always used to rise slightly before OV before dropping again slightly on day of OV. I would start DTD now. We did it every other day, I felt that gave DH spermies a chance to recover. We then DTD every day once positive OPK!!

Becks - I am trying to be positive as i feel negative thoughts could have an effect. my loss in Jan last year was awful, we had a perfectly healthy nuchal scan at 12 weeks, done privately. The guy doing it was saying how healthy the pregnancy was. 5 weeks later i went for a check up at hospital to find baby had died 13-14 weeks. I gave birth to our LO on 12.1.12.
After that, I could not relax at all the next time I was PG. Every few seconds i was running to the toilet and checking for blood, really getting worked up. Scan at 7 weeks showed all good, scan at 9 weeks, baby had dies that day or day before!!

Since then i have been having acupuncture, he can`t find anything wrong with me, he says i`m fit as a butchers dog!!! What he has been doing is concentrating on my emotional state, 2 needles in head every week. He is also concentrating on blood flow through my body and last week stuck needles in for fetul development!!

I have to say, although i am worried about what this PG has in store, I am actually a lot more relaxed than last time and i am not constantly running to the loo in a panic!!

No MS to report yet, although the last couple of days i have felt a tiny bit sick after i have eaten. In last two PG sickness didn`t start until 7-8 weeks.

All our snow has gone, apart from a couple of little lumps dotted about here and there.
