daisy how are you feeling? temp looks nice and high.

bean are you on ???

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks joeys. I'm feeling fine. No different than usual. I like my high temp today, but I have to admit... I was huddling under the covers to be nice and toasty!! Haha.

 

[joeys3453]

daisy i do the same thing! that is ok though.

so just got my hsg changed to the same day as my mid cycle appointment. darn doctors!

 

[Bean66]

Daisy - your chart does look good and I think your timings were really good. Have everything crossed for you.

Joeys - when are you appointments?

It hasn't really sunk in at all. Fingers crossed. Hoping everything goes smoothly. It's very early to get too excited but yes I'm on cloud 9, or at least would be if my head didn't feel like it was going to explode.

 

[joeys3453]

oh jeez they just called again because they had the wrong dr down for me. so now it is monday is the hsg and then my mid cycle appointment is thursday.

yes i think i would be feeling the same way you are just not sure it is real until you hear the ultra sound and everything!

Bean! YAY!! Congrats!! I had spotting with my toddler too, so I ay don't worry! Over here, most of the time you don't see anyone for pregnancy until 8 weeks or so unless you have a RE or other complications. However, if you're spotting or think you have low progesterone or whatever I'd definitely call to be on the safe side. So happy for you!

 

[Bean66]

Thanks sotiredmama. Spotting stopped for now. Gonna pop to GP next week. I'm in London and the hospitals get Very busy so best to get US scheduled sooner rather than later.

Still can't believe.

Glad your spotting has stopped! Sounds like implanttaion spotting... that would explain why your test is still very light as implantation would have literally happened a couple of days ago.

Do you mean your 12 week ultrasound? Or would you be having one earlier?

Unfortunately, I'd be very surprised if a GP would prescribe supplemental progesterone... it seems to be so rarely done here, and when it is, it's through a fertility specialist. Is there a reason you think you need it? With your levels being so high last cycle, it really doesn't sound like you have a low progesterone issue, so try not to worry.

I won't be seeing my GP at all pregnancy-wise... just straight to midwife. Worth calling your surgery and seeing what procedure is with you... some surgeries like you to see the GP first and some say just to book straight with the midwife... normally booking appointments are for 8-10 weeks. Your midwife is usually the one to arrange your 12 week scan.

Would recommend maybe waiting a day or two then testing again with a FRER in the morning - the odds are the line will be a lot stronger. Digis can be very stressful, so if you can, consider making this your first and last.

Congratulations again!

I'm so happy for you (and a little jealous!). I have no idea how things work over there, but I also haven't ever seen a GP for anything pregnancy related. If your progesterone levels were fine last month I wouldn't worry about it this month, either! Sorry, I'm not keeping everyone's back stories straight!

I hadn't realised I could try to go straight to Midwife. I'll call doctors on Monday and check. Yeah for 12 week scan, I know that the midwife books it. It's just I've had patients who've not got the ball rolling and ended up getting a late 12 week scan.

I don't think my progesterone is low, although I worry it falls. My spotting is normal, I don't think it is necessarily implantation. Looked the same as every cycle.

I'm going to try not to worry. If spotting gets bad I might pop in and ask. FOr the time it seems to have subsided.

I'm not going to worry. I still can't believe, was really starting to feel like it would never happen. I thought I needed to see GP for a referral to midwife but maybe I don't. I'd prefer not to I hate going to the doctors been about 5 times in the last 10 years.

Oh wow!!!! What fab news to check in on ur bfp comment was the first I saw bean, absolutely wonderful news really really happy for u :0D :0D yeeeeeah u did it!!!!! Xxxx

 

[LLPM]

Wow c

 

[LLPM]

Not sure what happened above! Sorry. Wow congratulations bean- really pleased for you

I just realised I'm out of the game this month. Hubby is away from 25th march til 1st April - I'm due to Ovulate on the 1st so will miss out on those Pre-O days so unless the vit-b's make me ovulate late (or super early) looks like we'll be waiting til next cycle! Sucks having silly long cycles.

[Bean66]

Thanks ladies!

LLPM - I O'd two days late this cycle so don't count yourself out. Just jump on him as soon as he gets back!!

 

[sotiredmama]

LLPM -- your egg lives about 24 hrs, so you are not out! Just BD that night. I honestly don't think it matters how often you BD as long as you have one well-timed one!

 

[LLPM]

Ooooh well that gives me a bit of hope then!
i actually had a look at my Chart from when i conceived DD2 and we only BD the day before O, so now i just have to hope the vits don't make me O early!

 

[Bean66]

Morning ladies.

Very sorry and sad to say that it looks like I'm having a chemical. FRER is barely positive this morning. Doing ok just disappointed.

 

[lizc123]

Oh no bean I hope not, would today be when af is due? One of my beat friends didn't get a positive until after about a week after af was due but just knew she was pregnant, hope it will be the same for u, but if not I'm so sorry will be thinking of u the next few days and will keep everything crossed xxxxx
