[Left wonderin]

Becks its confusing though as sometimes I get a run of Opk+ SEMP is what worked for me both times I got pg will be trying that again

 

[crysshae]

Jo - Congratulations on your new granddaughter!

Becks - I don't think you're out yet.

Regina - Hopefully the thought is just making him nervous when he thinks on it too long.

Thanks ladies I think I'm just finding it hard cause never taken longer than 1/2 months so I can't help thinking there's something wrong, I'm not normally pessimistic!! Cramps are back today, that's too long for implantation cramps I think so who knows, upside is someone told me my chart was picture perfect with stable temps, good rise and clear thermal shift so at least that's OK now xxx

Jo, hope all goes well with your new granddaughter.

Becks, still very early days.

Bit odd with me this month. I am cd31. I don't chart temp any more. On cd15 I got loads and loads of EWCM and did for a couple of days after, so based on how all my previous cycles have gone my AF should have come on Sunday, but still no sign.

I feel left out of POAS and found an out of date (may 14) digital opk today, so had to POAS for old times sake and it came up positive! Weird !

I'm guessing my cycles may be a bit out if sync due to breast feeding, so maybe my body didn't actually OV after that EWCM. Actually thinking about it now, Im sure I got a little EWCM the other day again, so guessing hormones are a little out still.

If I remember I will temp in the morning so I know when I OV. Bit miffed though because if AF had come Sunday I would have missed my holiday, but if this opk means OV in next couple of days, AF will now be when I am on holiday, bummer!

Last nights spider



Don't know why it's upside down!

Oh Dance yuck !!!!! You were very very brave !!! Are you still breast feeding ? When did AF return for you ?

 

[Sparkle125]

Passed my glucose test! No gestational diabetes for me! Thank goodness!

 

[Left wonderin]

Yahoooo its your prize for having to take that horrible test lol

 

[dancareoi]

That's good Jenn, GD is not good really.

Regina, I am still bf, usually morning and evening, although she has started to wake in the night again so I bf then as well.

My first AF only returned 4 1/2 weeks ago, so Caitlin was 10 months old.

 

[Oasis717]

Well ladies second day of cramps and backache, 6 dpo last night my new batch of ICS started picking up a faint faint line, its a bit of a screen tilter lol, hardly able to pick up on camera, prob nothing as I don't really trust ICS! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

I see it! I hope this is it for you!!! I thought those cramps sounded promising.

 

[Oasis717]

You never know I guess but those darn ICS lol, thanks Crystal xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Sparkle that's great.

Lisa - so brave. Well done at still B

Becks - getting excited xxxx

Emerald was born at 9.48 pm last night. 6lb 10. We will see her Saturday. So excited.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh bless her, so tiny she's beautiful Jo xxxxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Passed my glucose test! No gestational diabetes for me! Thank goodness!

Jenn, I assume they will moniter for this through the pregnancy as it is something that gets worse as pg goes on.

GD is slightly different from normal diabetes. Normal is when body doesn't produce enough insulin, GD is when body does produce the insulin but the pregnancy hormones prevent it from working properly.

Hence the reason I ended up injecting insulin 3 times a day at the end of my pg.

Jo she is beautiful, look how small she is. They grow too quickly. What's it feel like to be a granny!

Becks, I think I can see something! Get a superdrug one, then we'll know.

AF started today so it means I will done and dusted by the time we go away next Saturday.

 

[Oasis717]

Dh is going into town tomorrow if they're still coming up will ask him to get me a Super drug one but I'm not expecting anything, its just these cramps day 3 now and worse today, I don't usually get them at 5dpo xxxxx

 

[Sparkle125]

Lisa--Thanks for the info. Yes, we will be monitoring for the remainder of my pregnancy. I am thrilled that I passed so far, but know I may have a different result later on. I am trying to monitor my sugar, and I really need to start exercising!!!

Becks--FX for you! Ready to see some more tests!

 

[Oasis717]

Well done on passing Sparkle! Thank you I'm gunna keep testing xxx

 

[crysshae]

Jenn - I hope you don't have to worry about it your entire pregnancy.

Becks - Fingers crossed!

Lisa - I bet you're relieved.

Jo - She is so cute and tiny. I bet you can't wait to cuddle her.

 

[Sparkle125]

Crystal--I am not going to worry about it. My maternal fetal medicine specialist said not to worry. If it becomes positive, we will deal with it. But, that's the point..you can do be treated for it. Honestly, given my history, I could be facing much more serious issues, so I am not worried about it at all. Just thankful for today! 12w1d!

Can we have a ticker?
