Apologies to anyone reading this post again I have also posted this in the tread ttc #1 after more than one loss.

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone can help, I had a slight boit of spotting (literally 2 or 3 spots) a couple days before ovulation, does anyone know if this is something I should be worried about?

Presh, sorry about the bfn

Tray, that is an awesome video! I am going to do that with my next scan.

AFM, I had a scan last Monday and the twins look good, so I have been released back to my regular ob My 1st appt with him is on Thursday, and I will be about 8.5 weeks. I'm not having a scan, but I will find out when my next one is going to be. I'm hoping it will be before 12 weeks!

Hey I have been stalking you since I had my ectopic. First I want to say congrats to the preggos, and wishing speedy BFP to the ones waiting. Next I wanted to ask did yall cycles change after the ecttopic. I noticed my temps are not very high anymore. I had methotrexate first then I ruptured, so right tube is gone. I dont have O pains anymore, and I only bleed for 2 days this cycle. I did get a HSG and the doctor said left tube looks blocked but you never know. I have my official meeting about this on tuesday. Thanks in advance

Hi! Sorry to hear about your experience, I hope you are recovering....
Im afraid I dont have much info for you, but I found my cycles returned to normal again once i'd had one cycle, but then i have both my tubes. I found ovulating to be noticeable with extra twinging around ovulation and luteal phase. I didnt ever do temping so i have no idea if this would be or could be affected. I hope someone can help answer your queeries and good luck!! xx

TrAy!!!!!!!

Gorgeous little beanie and amazing to see its little heart beat and so beautiful you have recorded it so you can watch it anytime to reassure yourself!

Im feeling really dissappointed today....i know im sounding like a stuck record but i think something is wrong....

The last 2 days my symptoms have got even lesser, and i just dont understand how this is possible this early. I mean, ive gone from 6 wk, vomitting every half an hour and soooo ill, i couldnt do anything, 7 wks vomitting every morn and eve but keeping food down during day, 8 wks, just vomitting every morning with occasional vomit at night and now 9 wks, im feeling almost fine and have not even vomitted in the mornings the last 2-3 mornings...??? I thought the sickness is supposed to peak at about 10-12 wks? In past pregnancies ive been sick right up to 26 wks and hospitalised in early wks from being sick so much. It seems i started off really bad but its so different this time. Im worried little beanie has died and my HCG is very slowly creeping down.

How do you go about booking a private scan? x

hey coxy remember every pregnancy is different, maybe your placenta is starting to do some work already and thats why your sickness is easing off.

To book an early scan i went private and paid. I just did a google search for anyone that did scans in my area and phoned them up and booked it. Simple as that. Im so glad i did it as its totally reassured me that everthing is fine. If you are worried i would just go book your own scan for peace of mind x

Hi Ladies
I am a week away from my TTC date but am ovulating now.... do you think I should give it a whirl as my husband works 4 weeks on 4 weeks off an oil rig and dont want to miss the opportunity....or give it a bit longer...hmmmm
I have had three perfect cycles since my HCG hit zero?
Sooooo impatient hey

 

[TrAyBaby]

If it were we i would be going for it. You've had 3 cycles which is what my doc told me to wait for so get busy chica xx lets see that flashy BFP xxx good luck xxx

Just started TTC round 2! Wish me luck! I should ovulate this weekend

 

[JPARR01]

I would def start trying Ren!!! Fingers crossed. Also, fingers crossed for you Presh!!!

 

[TrAyBaby]

Go Presh Go woooooooooooooooooo catch that eggy

 

[Michelle78]

Renzal, I would also think that you are good to go this cycle. I started TTC again during my 3rd cycle after having the mtx shots, and my doctor was fine with that.

Presh, fingers crossed that this is your cycle!

This month I have not been tracking ovulation. I've been trying to keep an eye on my cm, but it's hard to tell if it's the good stuff or not because of all that semen! lol. So I just checked on pregnology.com and it said that I should be ovulating TODAY! I have an app in my phone that I use as well and that one says I'll ovulate on Saturday. All the information is the same, so I'm confused!

Anyway... my husband is very sick right now. Probably with the flu, so there will be no BDing tonight. We have bd'd Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, so I should be covered if I am ovulating today, right? I will be forcing the issue tomorrow whether he feels better or not.

And how do you guys recommend timing the bd-ing? We started with the every other day business on CD8...but how long should you keep that up for? I'll probably just do it til AF comes!!

I had an ectopic pregnancy that was found on sept 29. i didn't even know i was pregnant and we've been trying for a year on october 13th i got the methotrexate shot. since then my numbers have gone down.. i am so desperate to try again.. when is it safe? is there a risk for birth defects?

 

[coxy1978]

Renzal,

Good to hear its your time now....

I started TTC again with 1 wk to go, as i too ovulated and didnt want to have to wait aanother whole cycle to get going again. As it turned out, i didnt fall that month anyway, but i would say, i week really wont mke any difference. i guessed, the dictors say wait 3 months and have already given an allowance of extr time within that 3 months. In reality - it prob is only 1 month before your body returns to a safe time to concieve again, but they say 3 just to cover themselves when giving out advise. And they prob know, most women prob need a few months to recover as its sooooo traumatic having an ectopic.

Its only my opinion, but good luck and let us know how you get on! xx
