My Angel - Ok, so I'm breathing niiiice and deeply. I'm feeling a lot beter this afternoon, although at the risk of being spanked, my freakout did last for quite a bit longer after posting . Everyones posts definitely helped though!
AJC - It's funny, as soon as I took the temperature I regretted it! I should have just had faith in the BFP and left it well alone. Unfortunately I know that tomorrow morning I'll just have to take it again. I wish I had a chance of convincing myself not too, but I would have shocking odds at the TAB on that one, lol. If it's ok tomorrow then I think I'll be able to kick the habit
Miss Jen - I didn't have any more tests in the house, but on my way back from getting my blood taken I went to the chemist and got 2 more (different brands). I've done one today and it's still a nice BFP even though I'd just drank a hot chocolate and it wasn't FMU. It was also on a test that needs a higher level of hcg to show positive.
Hannah - COngrats on AF arriving. It's still so weird to say that, lol, but the first AF after a loss is something to celebrate for your body My DH and I didn't wait to TTC again either and we actually started trying before I got my first AF. I'm glad you were sending out positive vibes today. I feel sorry for the other girls though, because I think I caught them all and only left a few spares for the others
Good luck!!!
PLC - Thanks for your messages! Whoever told you to stop charting must have been very smart, lol. I only stopped durig my first pregnancy when we went on our honeymoon. And even then I checked it the first 2 days back!
WTH - Thanks for your message. And in PINK too!!! Good luck with your IVF. You must be starting soon yeah?
Mannie - I've just had a quick scan of the pagan section and read a little more about the lunar cycle. Hopefully my temp will be back up tomorrow and I won't even have to worry anymore.
Joey - I WAS being a little sly wasn't I? Lol. I actually updated my chart with a BFP first and wondered if anyone would notice, but then I got impatient and added myself to the cycle list, hehehe. I was 12DPO and I used an internet cheapy test first, and when I could see something I decided to use my first response test
I wonder why your temps are misbehaving. I was looking at your chart the other day and wondering what was happening. I try visualising too, but I always start taking things too far. My acupuncturist tells me to picture a nice welcoming place for a baby to live for 9 months, so I always start thinking nice warm, comfy thoughts. But then I get a little bored and wonder if the baby would be bored too, so I think "hmmm, maybe the baby would like an xbox in there? Or a pool table?". I get totally off track!
Good luck when you get you BT results back!
Oh, and with the CM thing... I had lots the last week or so too. But I wasn't sure whether it was due to a possible pregnancy, or whether it had something to do with the herbs my acupuncturist has me on. I know she puts something in there to make me (and this is her word!!) "wet"
Jade - I know how hard the waiting is My obs told me that waiting 6-8 weeks can be pretty normal. It usually depends on how much hcg was in your body when you had your loss. I got frustrated and asked for a BT to find out how much was left in me after I had waited 3 weeks. It at least gave me an idea on how much longer I needed to wait until it would be gone. And at least I knew what was going on in my body. Could you ask your doctor for a blood test?
Megsmum - After tomorrow morning I think I'll take your 2 cents!
Yay for finishing your pill course. Again it's weird to say... but I hope AF comes soon for you! Good luck when you start the injections. I hope you don't have a needle phobia!
AFM - Ok, so I continued to freak out for a while longer. I went to get my blood taken and the girl was super nice. When I asked how long for the results she said usually 2 working days. So I asked her if it's possible for me to get my ob to ring in to add the prog test and if he might be able to get it marked as urgent. I said it was because I was a bit terrified and explained the situation a bit, and then she goes "how about I just stick this little urgent sticker on there for you?". So sweet!
The problem is that I have been unable to contact my obs office ALL DAY!!! The phone just rings out. I even checked the numbers and everything, and all good, so I don't know what's going on. Imagine if I was in labour and couldn't contact anyone! I have managed to get an appointment with my GP for tomorrow at 4pm, and I'm hoping that it won't be too late.
I've also taken another pg test. It was a pregnosis one that needs at leat 25 IU/L (the others I used were only 10IU/L), and I didn't use FMU, and it still came up positive. That's a good sign yeah?
