ALL PREGNANCY TICKERS NEED TO BE DISABLED BEFORE POSTING IN THIS THREAD. THIS IS OUT OF RESPECT TO THOSE THAT HAVE SAID GOODBYE - THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE AND WE EXPECT YOU WILL HONOUR THIS SIMPLE COURTESY.
Juleswa- I've had more obvious o pains since I took clomid but I o'ed on thursday, first since m/c and it really hurt so I guess maybe its hormone levels being differnt or just our bodies being more sensitive after the m/c.
When you are counting dpo do you count the day you o'ed too because it happened at 8-10pm (trust me I felt it) on thursady so am I now 4 or 5 dpo?
Juleswa - my ov post m/c hurt HEAPS, I had never had ov pain before.
Thanks ladies for the feedback on supplements.
AFM - right now I am having the AF from hell. It is so heavy and so painful, last night I just lay on the bed and cried, from the cramps and also from the yucky blood - horrible.
I was here a few years ago and didnt want to be back...we said goodbye to number 4 last Monday. I'm still swinging...sometimes devastated, other times not feeling anything, other times so angry I want to hit someone/thing.
I chose to M/C naturally and i was unable to collect our bub for testing so it means I STILL don't have a reason.
the big diff this time from the other 3 times is straight away I want to have a bub again. I'd be trying now if i could
I don't know anything about charting my cycle etc, not sure if I want to or if I just want to have lots of 'cuddles' and hope!
I hope that I can be as supportive to you all as i am already sure you will be to me.
Hi TinaR,
Im sorry you have had to return and i hope your stay is only short. I have only been a part of this forum for a few days but i find it very encouraging and supportive to know im not alone. I wish you mountains of babydust when you are ready to TTC again.
Greenslw - congrats on the great HcG results. I hope this has put your mind to ease a little.
ASM - Im in the uneventful 2ww. Small amounts of breast tenderness and bloating but thats pretty normal for me.
Babydust to everyone out there.
Hope your all having a relaxing evening. Stay strong.....
ooh Tina, hunni i am soo sorry for your loss.
This is a very good thread to come an be a part of, we are here to listen whether it be just for a vent, a cry or a shoulder to lean on.
Greens: Whoaaa! Thats awesome!!! So happy for you hon xxx
Tina: hug: sorry for your return and your loss. We're all avid charters here and I guess I can speak for myself and say I can give you advice where need be Hope you're ok.
AFM: FF gave me crosshairs this morning. I was/am a tad unsure about it. My temp dropped 2 days ago, thought I ovulated then and would be 2dpo so this morning before I put the temp in I was feeling good, confident and just wanted to be very la la la about the this month. THEN FF gave me cross hairs and I wasnt prepared to be 4dpo..I felt a bit nervous/jittery almost as I think this will be the last month of charting.
I will still test but not temp and Im 100% It will be torture..
Counting Days: That's not somewhere you really want to go hun...there was quite a disturbance about the topic and we have peace now..
The reason they are off is because people who have just come in after having a loss seeing pg tickers get quite upset seeing someones ticker going along especially if the person is due when she was...does this make sense?
It's a good rule, its common sense and it is courteous to those who are having a hard time grieving and dont want to see other women "showing" their tickers and how well their pregnancy is going when their pregnancy did not go well..
listing to desperate housewives whilst posting another tv pregnancy and also on home and away (that show is such crap) no chance of them having stories like the ones we all go through, no one would watch I guess
also have a question with the whole charting thing, do you need to do the temps cm etc or have people had luck with just using OPK's and keeping track of days
tina, sad to hear that you've had to come back here but, for what it's worth, it's a good place to be under these circumstances. We're all obsessed with getting pregnant again and having one that stays with us all the way.
coco, anila, sunbeam, we're all TWW? yes? I think I am anyway, no O detected by FF and I'm not sure I noticed either but still, AF is due Sunday... not that I actually think it's worked this month. I had a small amount of pain similar to when I got pg last but not lasting and not really all that convincing. No other symptoms since other than serious irritability and tiredness. bb are a little tender but nothing major, everything else seems normal (for not being pg that is). Actually, except for one thing, CM is going mental.
Greens/cherished, you're both pg, anything with cm over the last few weeks? mine seems to be varying between just watery and ewcm but lots of either at any time. Driving me nuts.
Greenslw - very happy to hear about your levels as well!!
Counting days - I've only just started charting temps and have not used OPKs yet. (well, I used one Saturday cos I suspected maybe I was O'ing but I wasn't). I'm sure someone else will have a more conclusive answer for you though as it seems I'm slow on the uptake with those two things compared to everyone else in here!
Good luck for those on the TWW - hope we'll hear some good news from you soon.
Re: Charting and OPK's. I use both and did when we conceived ds. I found that the opk told me when o was about to happen so we'd dtd over the next few days, untill I saw my temp rising then o had happened and we dtd for that day and the day after and hope that we caught it. It really gave me an idea of exactly where i was at. i started to see a pattern that after a positive opk, i o'd 3 days after. i guess if you were just using opk's and thought it was happening within 24hrs you may miss the egg, but knowing with the temp kept us dtd untill we saw that i had o'd. Does this make sense? I used opk's last time i fell pregnant too and got a bfp straight away. I'm using them again this cycle even though we're not trying again untill next month. I just like to know that i have the double knowledge that /and when i'm o'ing. this sounds like a big babble. sorry. i love talking about this stuff.
Tina - sorry to hear your loss. You'll love it here. Everyone is great!
hope everyone is well.
i'm getting ready to settle down with warm milk and 'brothers and sister', maybe a biscuit too - just love the choc coated scotch fingers!!!mmmmmm
smallfryplus - you might have to use the opk's a few times b4 it will show you a positive result. also, if you think you are o'ing now, you might not get a positive on an opk cause the surge has already happened. i think you'll only get a positive b4 you ovulate, not just as you are?
another tip - best to use them in the arvo between 2 and 5 and at the same time each time.
please let me know if this is stuff you already know - i can get a bit over excited about sharing what i know. sorry in advance if i'm being a pain.
thanks for the info Jules, I just randomly used one to see if it was even showing a faint positive but couldn't have been more negative if it was dry! Used it around midday but didn't really expect it to be anything other than negative as I was around CD22 or something and just going nuts! I think it was a bit of a substitute for an HPT!! lol
Will keep your tips in mind for next month though assuming I get a next Monday.
Ahhh... June... I just noticed I haven't turned any of my calendars... time flies. Happy winter everyone!!! Love that frosty nip in the air. This is the first time in years that Melbourne has felt like it's having a real winter!
So i tested again this morning and i got a bfn with an ebay cheapie and a forelife, so either they are not good tests, im out on my dpo or im just not utd!
My boobs hurt really bad, and i have a tad queasy feeling in my throat and im tired.
and i would have been 10 weeks 2 days pregnant today if i didnt have that stoopid mc!!!!
Hey Anila, how many DPO are you? Could still be too early. I was 4w5d before I showed pos last time.
Funny, I was doing calcs in my head last night about how far I would have been now too. It got too depressing so I gave up. This time I'm not even looking at what would be an EDD.
hey Smallfryplus, today i am cd 29 11-12 dpo.
Im so worried that i may be out on my o, and if that is the case then we didnt bd enough, i got o pain on cd 17, 18 and 19. I had small small ewcm on cd 18, i usually o cd19, we bd on cd 10,13,15, 17, 18, 27.
Then a week later i have that pop and falling feeling in my tummy.
This is just too hard, this journey was hard enough with out having a mc, now it just seams even harder.
Im so glad i have u guys, thanks.
I have been trying to conceive for 3 years. There was one ectopic preg and multiple times of chemical pregnancies. I almost want to give up. Yesterday I tested positive and today it becomes faint line (now should be in week 4 + 5 days). So I think I got a chemical preg again. I just can feel it coming because I lost the symptom at cycle 28th day when I felt a short and sharp pain. No blood, nothing. Just lost the symptoms after that... now just waiting the period to come... I did a blood test yesterday as instructed by GP, I'd only know the results tmr...
I just arrive to Sydney not long ago and I need help! Can someone recommend good fertility specialists (better to be female) who are patient? I hope it will be near Chatswood... I always go to Clinics but I think I need a specialist to tell me what's going on in my body....
