Glenglen - Glad you're feeling a little better. Good luck for your scan on Monday. Also... I'm a bit confused though why your OB would tell you BT's don't tell you much. Ok, one won't tell you anything, but 2 repeated a couple of days apart will most definitely tell you if your hcg is increasing or decreasing. I wonder why he didn't offer that to you. Hang in there sweetie, are your symptoms still there??
Glenglen...im glad you rang and spoke to you're ob!!! he sounds like a good one at least.....as long as you feel a little better then thats all that matters...and yes it would be too early to see heart beat....hopefully next week comes around quickly so you can get some answers..
Iona...thanks
AFM...........well im slowely sending myself crazy with every hour...god im so impatient....i wish AF would come if she is coming or find out if im pregnant..my head keeps saying, yes i am, no im not, yes i am, no im not, yes i am......LOL LOL....i just cant concentrate.............
Im getting what feels like burning, ovary pain....and i have had it for the last week or so...it feels like AF sometimes...but not really...anyone had this then found out they were pregnant??? i keep checking and no AF yet...
iona macca - thanks i'm feeling quite patient/relaxed at the moment... which is very weird as i'm the most impatient person in the world and almost DIED during the 2WW.
forshelby - hmmm not sure about my OB but am OK to wait until Monday. i'm really fixated on seeing the baby and hearing a heartbeat. i will feel so happy once that happens. i read that once you've heard a strong heartbeat at 6weeks+ then the rate of miscarriage is under 5% so i'm just waiting for that... i still have really sore Bbs and my skin has broken out in pimples (could be all the cookies i ate though LOL) and i feel positive (if that counts for anything??).
clairesmummy - how was your weekend? did AF visit??
Melster - oh sweetie - such exciting, anxious times. I remember them so welll.... you know what? Embrace the craziness and the possibilities but HOLD OUT TIL Wednesday to test... you will be so proud of yourself if you do. Stay away AF!!!
Glen Glen - I am glad you got some reassurance. That is the main thing. It is not an exact science at all - obstetrics. How you manage this depends on you. Some women find a lot of relief in having their HCG levels tested... I have to say I've been there and done it and I was just plain miserable, the whole time I was testing, and in consultation with my Obs, we decided to discontinue it. So it really depends on what you think you need. If you think you need it though, put your foot down! I've hear a similar statistic too.... hoping that the next week to your u/s is not too harrowing and you get to see a fabo little heartbeat next Monday and then you will be on top of the world!
Iona - glad you got to share your news with your fam - were they excited?
Forshelby - bugger about another headache, but good work on sulking on the lounge. Ha, you had me in fits of laughter, trying to imagine you contorting yourself to get yourself anywhere near the poses your puppy can do... it is always so cute when they put their little paws over their eyes. Our cats do it all the time.... it just makes me go "awwwwwww".
I have trouble tying my own shoe laces, putting on foot cream ( can't have crackled old lady heels at a time like this!), getting dressed, getting out of bed, off the lounge, up and down off the loo, in and out of the car, walking up stairs.... it is way too funny ( and a wee bit uncomfortable at times). How far the mighty have fallen.... just in terms of what I could physically do before to now. I used to run around playing sport for a couple of hours at a time.... now my best effort is a snooze for a couple of hours.... and I am struggling to see what the attraction with the exercise was. LOL. I have had what feels like indigestion/bloating right in between where my ribs join most of the day.... I hope this little one isn't confused about what direction they need to be heading in. I might go see what Dr Google says.....
Howdy all we have arrived home safe and sound from our week end away in the rain yet again and OMG it was sooooo freezing cold out there it was just yuck. And yes I did have a few drinks for everyone over the week end but no headache the next day thank goodness...lol....
Hope everyone is happy and healthy in here, Welcome to our newbies I hope your stay in here is short and sweet girls.
Melster- Sounding a bit promising if AF is late for you, hang in there darl it's a hard long slog but it's all worth while in the end darl. Keep yah chin up.
Kell,Reet,Iona,Forshelby,Glenglen- How are you all travelling I hope MS aint hitting you all to hard, and thank you all for your lovely words of support I adore you all.
Dory- wow I can't believe you are so very very very close now to holding your little bundle of joy, thinking of you everyday darl and I really hope and pray your birth goes wonderfully for you darl, but I know it will.
AFM- Feeling pretty much alot happier than I was Thursday/Friday when the old witch AF arrived on me, going to be taking the great advice I got from you all and finding a new DR and also getting some vitamin B6s into me, I was devastated that AF arrived Friday had a good cry Thursday and couldn't believe my body had failed me yet again but while away over the week end I come to realise that the end result of TTC is really out of my hands, I can't force myself to get our long awaited BFP but I will see what's going on with my cycles, I haven't temped this month yet and not even sure I really want to. I've been feeling like I have put my life on hold with what if's and maybes' but i don't want to keep living like that I want to make plans for our future and be happy not obsessed with TTC and getting lucky enough to hit the jackpot. So after I have been to the doc and had tests done and I have our results I thinking maybe I will just leave it all up to mother nature from here on in.
Clairesmummy - sometimes I reckon there' a lot to be said for understanding your cycle through temping etc, and then with that knowledge, BD'ing when you can during the window of opportunity and not fussing too much..... if only for the fact that you get your life back rather than obsessing. I had always hoped I could be like that... but it was a work in progress for me, some cycles I was better at it than others, and I had the luxury of never having to endure for too long. There were years of charting and tests, but that wasn't when we were intensely TTC. But it has to be what works for you? Glad you had a trip away and relaxed with a drinkie... pity about the weather! I haven't even gone outside today because I couldn't be bothered getting wet. What a sookie la la I am.
So now you have to find a new doc? are you going local or going to go into town?
Oh - thanks for the vote of confidence. It feels so very close but still so far away.
Dory- You are more than welcome, you are such a huge inspiration to us all in here and I am just so happy for you, can't wait to read your BA darl.
I always feel bad about complaining about our TTC journey as there are so many more families out there doing it tougher than us. I'm thinking I will try our new local DR first then if she can't or won't give me what I want I will have to travel any where from 1-2 hours away to find a decent DR, if there's one out there for me....lol.....but I can only try and see what happens I guess.
Arghhh Dory am I in the right place hun. I am not recognising anyones names...it has been a couple of weeks i think. Feels a bit like the world has flipped. I will have to go and search through the last few pages, sorry everyone...bit disorientated. I dont; have time now and will be back soon. xoxox
