Bun - I'm sure your doc will make some kind of plan for you tomorrow. Is he a gp or have you already been referred on? I know how hard it is regarding the whole bd'ing thing when the hubby starts to say stuff like that. I went through that with the ex and it's really hard to deal with. Just do your best to keep the lines of communication open between the two of you and you should be OK. Good luck with everything tomorrow.
janeo - I think it's great that you are stopping the temping for a while & seeing a naturopath.... relaxing a bit and natural therapies seem to work wonders with a lot of women.
I've started to spot late today so I'm really hoping that AF can just hold off for 24 hours so I can get my ultrasound done tomorrow. I will be really annoyed if I have to put it off. I'd rather just get it over and done with. If I get it done tomorrow I will have results on Saturday of next week. If I have to delay it a week then of course the results will be a whole week later. Probably sounds stupid but at my age I really can't afford to have too many delays. I need to keep the ball rolling.
You must have posted while I was composing. That's great that the naturopath's visit went so well. My doc also thinks I may have pcos so that's why I'm off for my u/s tomorrow (if AF damn well stays away). Good luck with it all.
Hi everyone, sorry I have been AWOL but our internet decided to die Monday night and DH only managed to fix it tonight. There is just way too many posts to try and do personals, but Tonners, in answer to your question about what test I used, yes it was the pregnosis brand, hope that you get a darker line second time around though.
AF still hasn't shown up for me, temp is still going down, but not yet below coverline, also had some spotting today, but now nothing else. Had a really good day yesterday, went and got my eyes tested for the first time since I had laser surgery done on them in December 2004 and was pleased when they told me I still don't need to wear glasses, there is a very very very slight change but glasses wouldn't make any difference and the change is more likely because my eyes have a constant "shake" so I can never completely focus on anything for long periods, it's pretty freaky at the movies though when the movie screen shakes from side to side.
I'll be back tomorrow sometime (or should I say today) i'm now off to bed
Just a quickie this morning. I am on CD 36. my last cycle was 36 days so I am expecting AF to arrive today at some stage. I have had spotting for the past week now. Ever since the m/c, I have had spotting for about a week before AF arrives.
I wish it would arrive so I can try next month for a January 08 bub!
I am still feeling a little low but I guess we cant be positive 24-7
Hope all is well with everyone out there. Will try and do more personals later.
Good Morning ladies, well, CD1 for me today, AF arrived this morning after I got up, feeling OK (maybe a little disappointed, since we tell ourselves it isn't over till AF arrives) I have done a manual overide on my chart and changed O day to CD 17 as I feel so certain that was when O happened, and when I look at my previous non-preg charts they are all so similar with the slow rise then the temp drop 2-3 days before AF where preg cycle had the rocky mountains look.
jenjams I know what you mean about staying +ve, even with the temp drops over the last couple of days I still held out hope that there may still have been a chance I was pg and was just one of those of people who was going to implant late. I will keep my for you.
Hello to you all,
Just popping in to say hi and see what you are all up too. Megsmum- for you for this month. Glad to hear good news for TTC from your specialist. Bun-My DH recently told me if I don't get pg soon we will not be having children cause he will be too old. I think they do this cause they get frustrated, I just don't think they realise how much it hurts us, they are not the only ones hurting are they!!! Best of luck with your tests youa re having, let us know how you go, thinking of you. Janeo-Glad all went well with your naturapath and yes please keep us updated how all is going Satya-Hope AF has stayed away for ultrasound so the ball can keep rolling, keep us updated as to how you are going Jenjams-Huury up to AF so she can go away fast & you can get bding ready for your Jan 08 bub. Some days are worse than others, I know what you are saying we can't be positive all the time. Sharon-Congrats on the eye test. My Grandmother has just had a cataract off & is 100%. I am glad all is well for you & still no glasses that is fantastic after 2 1/2 years. Sorry to hear AF has arrived, I can't comment on the temp cause I am hopeless at it myself, sorry.
Well for me I am 7DPO and I sooooooooooo hate waiting, seems I know what the answer will be though BFN. Don't know why I feel this way. Can't help but think what I would have looked like by know as my due date was 24.05.07, I would have been fat no doubt, but anyway. Dealt with it fine at the time however as the due date gets closer I seem to be feeling worse. Sorry for all the crap, I will go now
Lots of to all of us & will talk later
Herbie- 31 is not too old. I also know what you mean about feeling bad around your EDD. Mine would have been a week or so ago and I was feeling very emotional. I guess when we do finally get lucky, it will be even more special.
Sharon- If my AF arrives today then we will both be back to CD1.
There are just too many girls in here... hopefully not for too much longer
I've been doing a lot of reading of threads on this site, and it's been really helpful to me to read about others experiences, of those that have walked a similar path to mine.
About me - my son, Luc, was born on 7 March 2007. A full term baby, posterior induced birth. Healthy pregnancy, no major problems. My third baby. When he was born, the midwife commented that his breathing was "a bit laboured" and the ob said they would organise a paediatric check of him. He was born at 9pm at night. 18 hours later, the next afternoon, I awoke from a nap to find him dead in his hospital cot. Can't begin to explain the nightmare that unfolded then.........
There's much more detail - but to cut it short, I'm terribly upset to think that his death may have been preventable if he'd been given a thorough examination (he never got checked). I had to keep reminding staff about this before he died, just seems like the inadequacies of the hospital system came to the forefront - although he was born in a very good private hospital, seems this made no difference.
All my research on SIDS says that it's diagnosed from 1 month old. So, we don't fall into that category - and the fact that he was a bit blue after birth and the concerns raised by medical staff (albeit not outwardly major problems at birth) seem to indicate that Luc had some problems, but not major enough to raise "alarm bells" - so he does not fall into a SIDS category. No medical staff have even offered me a guess as to why our son died - they can't explain it - it seems all was well to them.
So, here I am, 6 weeks later. We have to deal with Coroners etc. and I'm glad that his death will be the subject of an inquiry - as I'm hoping it will turn up some answers. Can any of you shed any wisdom from your own experiences?
My immediate reaction was "I want to be pregnant straight away". Obviously that's not possible - and I know it was just a coping mechanism. We had a funeral for our baby. It was terribly sad. We got to spend some time with him, and brought him home for an afternoon. An autopsy failed to find anything wrong with him. He was a very wanted and planned baby. We are all heartbroken, as I know you will all understand. I treasure that I got to see him born alive, and cuddle him - I know this is so much more than most of you ladies had. At least I had that and I have many photos of him. Yet, it was just so unexpected and sudden, no warning. I barely got to know him before he left us. I don't want his life to be meaningless, I want to extract as much good as I can.
Most days are ok, but many are not. I have much pain and sadness, and yet I know I just have to keep going forward, no choice really.
I just had my first AF after birth - 6 weeks later to the day. So, that is one good thing. I will definately be TTC again. I don't want to wait for anything or waste any time. I really want a baby, and I hope the next pregnancy and baby will have such a better outcome.
for you.
