Mannie - Don't want to dishearten you, but I found MAYBE BABY a big waste of $80....never worked for me and obviously I did ovulate, I found the urine test strips to work the best.
Mannie- I found maybe baby a waist of $$ Too.. I only use OPK stips anymore. Not to say it in a mean way. Some girls it works some not so much. For me I never saw ferning and always missed O. I would BD just to covor you bases..
First of all, everyone. I'm still trying to catch up with your stories.
Jen - Thanks so much for the chat last night. We had some pretty wild weather yesterday and combined with a full moon its no wonder I felt a little nutty. Today the weather is better and I feel calmer too.
Fificlaire - If you really want a scan, demand it! When I saw my GP the other day, I asked about what could be done next time round. She told me the earliest they could detect a heartbeat was around 6 weeks, so I could have a scan then if I didn't want to wait. I think sometimes healthworkers try to fob us off. Then if we insist on getting what we want, they'll do it. Maybe its their way of conserving resources, only giving tests to those that really want, rather than those that are getting it just because they can. In the meantime, it doesn't feel like we get much support.
Babyfever - The fact that my lining was building up again was just a good sign that things are back to normal. This was my first pregnancy, so no one is very interested in why - it was just assumed it was a chromosomal abnormality. I'd conceived in my 3rd cycle of TTC so I guess DH and I just do what we did before.
Ruthie - I read your full story yesterday. I can't imagine going through all that you have. I feel bad for whinging about how I feel. You and Toccara are both in my thoughts and prayers.
In regards to WTF comments, I think the only thing we can do is be forgiving. It sucks because we are the ones who need the understanding. But, I don't want to turn into some bitter, whiny cow who refuses to talk to people because they just don't get it. To do justice to my friend, I did catch up with her after that comment and she was really supportive and just listened while I told my story. I just remind myself that if I wasn't going through this, I probably wouldn't know what to say either.
thanks babyfever....yes I agree it has worked at times but because I haven't had a proper cylce since my m/c I thought I'd use that until I got AF again then I'd be able to start charting again...even though doc said I should just forget about the charts and temp taking etc and just relax it will happen naturally WTF ! at least when Im charting I know when Im ovulating and I know when I should have s3x so I have the best shot! doctors sometimes they just don't have a clue!
Ruthie - yes I had noticed we had the same due date, so was really watching your progress and wishing you all the best because my bub was due the same time and it would've been a bit of comfort for me to see a bub that made it on the same day, alas and curse the Gods it was not meant to be for either of us this time....Im TTCing and I havent yet had one full cylce so have no idea but am trying anyway, but I did m/c naturally so maybe its different. Wishing you lots of stickyvibes and make sure you let us know when your TTCing!!!
