Well ya learn something new every day I really must be stupid ! I figured out that I actually have a 28 day cycle not 29 as you don't count day of AF as last day of the cycle but the first ! Dohhhhh lol.... So seems like last two cycles I o/v on cd14 and have a LP of 14 days textbook or what !!

certainly is text book, I don`t think there are many of us who are as precise as that. My OV date was all over the place!

Hope you are feeling a little better now. Onwards and upwards!

How is everyone else doing today?

Hi Lisa how are you feeling today? I am a bit fed up and emotional today. Went to see doc and think its a case of not much else can be done and getting referred. Gonna check thyroid. Said that due to age then if ivf is the way we want to go then obv got to pay due to age. Feel upset today.

Josie
Don't give up hope yet, you might not need ivf. You know you can get pregnant as you did last year. xxx

 

[crazymam]

has anyone else noticed their pregnancy vitamins are making them sick? I forgot to take mine after breakfast today, didn't remember until about 2pm. well I felt great today, virtually no sick feeling at all. Then took my vitamins, with a sandwich, and 15minutes later it started, now I am wondering if it these vitamins that have been making me feel so ill every day?
I have never been as ill as this in any of my pregnancies but never took pregnacare before, just folic.
Maybe I need to take them at night instead?

I've read on loads of threads that pre natals make ladies sick, a lot were taking before sleep at night with a snack! It never happened to me but I've been on them for a year straight, I was told that's why my ms wasn't so severe this time, as I've been on them so long xxx

Hope you don't mind me butting in. I think my thyroid problem ;along with diabetes) contributes to my miscarriages. I'm on 125mcg levothyroxine now and I definitely think its helped. I'll be 43 when I give birth, so don't give up hope. My husband is also 45

Hope you get sorted soon xxx

Hi everyone , feeling much better today cd2 already lol.... Ordered a new basal temp taker today jan baby here we come

 

[Oasis717]

That's the attitude Regina!!! Xxxxx been up since 6 with ds 4, he's got croup, he's had it a few times and had to go to hospital when he had it at 4 months as he wasn't breathing anymore just squeaking, it was so scary, I hate croup, he's only been back at pre school since Monday and already he's ill xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

On no oasis croup is so scary , the sound is awful ! My niece has had it a few times its awful when little ones are sick hope he is on the mend soon

Oasis, Croup is one of the scariest sounding things. In my nurse training days they instructed parents to fill a room with steam eg run hot shower, boil kettle etc. Amazingly it often made symptoms decline fast.


My middle son managed to miss the school bus this morning and so I have had to get dressed and take him in. Managed to delay his jounrey three times to be sick all along the route. I was so cross at him for missing the bus, but he has the recording studio set up and booked for his a level music tech exam today..... otherwise I'd have refused to take him in. The reason he missed the bus? trying to decide which pair of shoes to wear grrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[crazymam]

my little girl had croup when she was a baby, can be quite scary.
I thought it was just girls who were a nightmare getting ready on a morning haha
AFM I haven't took my vitamins this morning, going to take them this evening instead, but now feelin paranoid as don't feel no where near as sick as I did, and feeling more energetic too. starting to panic now as it was at this stage I miscarried last time. I need to keep busy and stop thinking about it I think, I still have sore boobs and that horrible taste in my mouth though, but I am feeling too good this morning, so very apprehensive ...

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, it's more serious between 6 months and 3 years old so thankfully he's just barking when coughing and a little noisy when breathing but much better after I sat in the bathroom with him with the shower on, it's when there littler and their tubes are tiny that it's much worse, I think he must have narrow tubes as he's had it a lot, he's been asleep since 8, no school for him todayxxx

Crazymam I'm having a baby brain moment it is Jan isn't it? I promise you I had exactly the same a few times, my ms completely disappeared for 4 whole days at 8 weeks and I worried like hell but it was back with a vengence soon, I completely understand how you feel, I comforted myself with my other symptoms like sore boobs etc but you do worry, hormones definitely fluctuate and so do symptoms, try not to worry too much hunni xxxxxx

 

[crazymam]

yes it is Jan haha , Yes you are right Becks, I am probably worrying over nothing. I read the placenta is starting to take over now so symptoms can actually start to subside a bit from now, I thought it was 12 weeks.
I need to remember that I sailed through all my other pregnancies without care in the world and had virtually no symptoms so why am I worrying all the time about this one!

 

[Oasis717]

Oh good I went blank for a min there but I was sure it was Jan! Yes I thought the same that it was 12 weeks but from what I've read on here and for me also they definitely started fluctuating before that which was completely unlike my three children's pregnancies especially my son's as my ms was terribly severe and lasted the whole 9 months, I guess I shouldn't of compared as the 12 week scan showed all is good and I lost my nausea quite a few times, even now it's coming and going and I've had 2 bad days this week, it's only natural to worry, I felt a lot better once I'd got past 11 plus 4 which is when I lost my first last of year, I think because I lost my first last year then the second was a blighted ovum I just convinced myself I was doomed to loose again but here I am just about to enter 16 weeks! Xxx

 

[crazymam]

my blood sugars came back normal, what a relief...

 

[Oasis717]

Oh that's great news, what a relief! So pleased for you xxx
