TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

Sorry for AF AJC. Damn witch. All those of years of WANTING of AF, it seems so obscene how little I want her now!

I didn't realise clomid helped LP. Mine was short after my DD's birth as well (although it took 12 months for it to come back anyway - after I had weaned her). Its all very confusing I find. I had my Dr take a progesterone test about Dec and it was a bit low. I went on Vit B6 and this lengthened it to 11/12 days (from 8/9). By chance my Dr checked my progesterone the cycle I had actually conceived and it was 56. While I was pregnant it was at 31 and I was on supplements (tablets). I lost the baby in any case.

So I will ask my FS at my appointment (in June) about clomid. As well as progesterone. I better get those tests results from my Dr and I need a referral as well. Sigh

Thanks for the info maybe baby - so let me get this straight. Your prog was 56 when you conceived but during the same pregnancy was 31, then you lost that baby? is that right. Hmmmm - I might go and get some B6 tablets, they can't hurt anyway. My ob is totally fabulous so I can't wait to go and speak to him.

I actually had time to go online tonight! I have a mid-cycle check up at the FS tomorrow. Been there, done that.

Emmy-Lou: I'm so sorry. Sending cyberhug

Mel A: good luck!

Trac73: as far as I'm concerned, you're welcome here! BTW, I cramped in every pregnancy, even the successful ones

JMG: keeping you in my prayers

bettyboop: AF arrived? (per your signature) I'm so happy for you, it was such an awful and drawn-out ordeal for you.
I'm so sorry about your father in law. Sending cyberhug and keeping you all in my prayers.

pbstar: sending cyberhug. I've been in a real weird place this month, too.

issy02 & Canary & jen805 & Abbey B: fingers crossed!

plc1805: how did your appt go?

ll80: I'll keep your grandad in my prayers

jenushka: I'm so sorry about what you went through. sending cyberhug and praying for you. I hope you find some help and healing on this thread.

maybe baby: sending cyberhug to you, along with prayers and tons of encouragement vibes.
clomid helps with progesterone levels because you often develop more than one follicle. they don't all release, but the follicles help make progesterone

mmteacher: thank you so much for that poem. I copied it to keep. sending cyberhug for encouragement

AJC: my doc put me on clomid, but he also put me on oral progesterone. have you explored that option with him?

Hey ladies - thought I'd say hi and send huge hugs to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJ - :SAAF: - back off witch!!! we have to do be strong with her as she doesn't seem to get it that she is most unwelcome..... if it doesn't work this cycle hun we will just have to scream at her next cycle :D

maybe baby - i don't know to advise u but hope u get the answers u need - :hug:

mmteacher - so terribly sorry re AF (the witch!!) - huge positive thoughts that ur time will come soon!!!

smilanatu & jen - how u going gals? :goodluck2: to you both!!

jenushka - welcome honey - my heart goes out to you for ur loss - u will get all the support u need here :comfort:

jmg - sweety - how u going?

ll80 - meant to post u earlier as soon as i saw re ur grandfather - take care of ur gran and don't forget urself too!! i pray all goes well!

betty, abbey, jodsan, pbstar, issy, canary and anyone I have missed (sorry!!) - hello and sending you and the other ladies lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust:!!

bday buddy - hope ur ok - just letting u know that u r thought of.

tempus - honey - how are you going - hope ur keeping ur chin up!!!

Thanks for asking about my appt - the ob said to go forth and multiply and that is what DH and I did last night (hopefully!!:)) - my DH is such a champ - he said he'll do it as it's "doctor's orders" - what a guy! Only thing to follow up is some thyroid tests in late May which don't affect TTC at this stage and hopefully won't at all. So as I'm CD12 and I am probably going to o within next couple of days we are keen to get going and race into the 2WW where I am sure it will just DRRRRRAAAAAGGGGG!! Oh well at least we will finally be in it.

Ok, guys, I'm confused about progesterone. I said this in a previous post, so sorry if it's repetitive to some of you, but my dr. originally told me that before I decided to ttc again to let him know and he would start me on progesterone and a baby aspirin. So when I called him to ask for the progesterone, he claimed that he couldn't give it to me until after I got a BFP because it could cause fertility problems! WTF? Now I know you may think I was upset so maybe I didn't hear him right, but DF was there with me and confirmed that he had, indeed, said before we ttc! So then I spoke with my family pract. who told me that when he used to deliver babies he never prescribed progesterone before a woman was pg, it was only after the BFP! So I'll say it again, I'm completely confused and bewildered by this! Anyone have any ideas?

AJC--Sorry to hear about the temp drop--hope your ob helps to shed some light.

Hi maybe baby, been thinking about you. Hope your cheering up a bit!

tempus--Good to hear from you and thanks for the crossed fingers! :)

AFM, still searching for signs! Next Friday is my POAS day--seems like it's going to take forever to get here. TWW's suck!

plc--You must have posted while I was typing mine--so glad you got the official green light! I'm sure it just breaks your DH's heart to follow dr's orders, huh? lol... DF thinks that's all he's good for, as I jokingly called him my sperm bank! Good luck and have fun multiplying!

Alright...here's for a try at a few persies...

Chalalan, Jenushka, Issy, and Abbey~ Welcome and I hope you find the support that you need here-I know that I have! I am sad to see that the number of us keeps on growing but it does help to know that we are not alone and there are people out there who truly understand what we are going through!:grouphug:

BettyBoop~ Sorry to hear about FIL. On a brighter note, I am glad AF has come and you can start trying for a BFP again-When each door closes-a new one opens?:pray:

Maybe baby~ I totally agree with you-next time I am keeping quiet too! That's why I have you girls so I can at least tell you! My Mom said if I get a BFP again, I should at least tell her, but we aren't telling anyone until we are good and ready! Of course it has to happen first!:hug:

Jen~ Thanks for feeling my pain...It is good to know that people feel the same way I do.:lol: I am feeling much better today! I hope that I can keep a positive attitude and find things to focus on this month...It is the end of the school year so hopefully that will help! Hope your TWW flies by and that you can let go a little! Try to stay positive! BTW, I am supposed to take progesterone for 7 days right after I O and of course after I have taken the Clomid so I think it is to help with implantation if I do get pg because Clomid can thin the uterine lining! Hope that helps!

AJC~ Sorry about your thoughts of AF-at only 11dpo, maybe it is implantation dip though-it is not over until she shows her ugly face! I'll keep hoping for you!:SAAF:

Tempus~ Glad you liked the poem and thanks so much for the hug! Sending one back at you!:hug: I have the clomid and the progesterone also-sounds like I am on a similar plan to you-Hope it works for us both!

PLC~ So glad you are TTC again-I hope you get a quick BFP! Your DH sounds like a comedian like mine!:p

To everyone else...There are just too many of us!!! Let's get some BFP's and clear this place out!!!:bluedust:

Clomid starts tomorrow...Bring on the hyperactivity and hot flashes! Talk to you soon!
MMteacher

hello lovely ladies

too hard to catch up with everyone!

firstly mmteacher thanks for the poem, it is very appropriate. i have my own little one i am saying to myself at the moment, it comes from a Michael Leunig cartoon

How to get there

Go to the end of the path until you get to the gate
Go through the gate and head straight out towards the horizon
Keep going towards the horizon
Sit down and have a rest every now and again
But keep on going. Just keep on with it.
Keep on going as far as you can.
That?s how you get there.

jen i am so confused about the progesterone thing too. i think maybe i have an issue but i too am not sure if i am supposed to do something about it now or when i get a BFP...for those who have taken vitamin B6 do you need to have a doctor confirm you have a progesterone issue first or can you just start taking it if you suspect you do?

tempus: good to hear from you, i noticed you dropped out a bit after AF came and totally understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. i know it can be hard to keep going but try not to lose faith, it will happen for you, hang in there.

jenushka- welcome :hug: i too have been through a missed miscarriage that was picked up at my 10 week scan and understand how hard it is to lose your baby without any warning. i hope your TTC journey is short and stress free. i am sure you will find the support here you need.

plc1805, betty, abbey, issy, canary, AJC, smilanatu, jodsan ( and everyone else i have missed) a big hello and big :hug:

Gmmteacher - good luck with clomid

Jen805 - I have also heard that. It can get so confusing. I'm planning to raise this with my Dr linking it with the short LP and use of VitB6 last time round. I have also printed off my FF cycles to take as well. AND will ask about aspirin and raspberry leaf tea which I know you DON'T take when PG.

Tempus - Good luck with FS - do you like yours?

Good luck PLC - must admit I am going to get very impatient waiting for AF so can start again. At least I feel I am doing something positive

Hello to one and all

well af is here. Not full on but here. Progesterone issue is certainly confusing, I would like to try a B6 supplement or Vitex this cycle. Will wait and ask ob about it on Monday as there is already 50mg of B6 in the blackmores conceive well that I am already taking.
10 day LP is just plain depressing.

mmteacher - GL with clomid tomorrow. Looks like I'll be back on the clomid again in the next few days. Hope you don't get any bad side effects (apart from a BFP).

plc - glad you got the green light. Happy bd, at least you don't have to wait very long to O. :goodluck2:

Hi everyone - thanks for the welcome... :hug: to all...

smilinatu, jen (great name!), tempus, pbstar - your warm wishes and welcomes are very much appreciated. Good luck for this month, i have my fingers crossed for you

maybe baby - I am so sorry to hear your story, which I can see from your sig happened only a very short time ago. Be kind to yourself and I hope that it continues to get that tiny bit easier for you each day. Surreal is the word for it. I am certain that if I find myself preg again after this, that I will have my eyes shut for every scan until the sonographer gives me the all clear.

AJC - sorry to hear about AF, hope your ob appt sheds a bit more light. I'm interested to hear what he has to say about the vitex/b6

mmteacher - thanks for the welcome also and speaking of AF... this AF (my first after m/c too) is definitely more full on than normal. Cramping and a lot heavier. Has settled down this afternoon for me though - hope you are ok? GL with clomid...

plc - great news about the green light from your ob! :goodluck: and lol at hubby and "doctors orders!".

to anyone else I may have missed - hello and here's more :hug:

AFM - found out today that 2 very close friends are preg (1 due a few weeks before my d date, 1 in dec). I am really very happy for them but 2 in one day made me a bit wobbly. Have decided I'm not saying "I should" anymore (as in "I should be 14 weeks now" etc). Sick of it
Work is keeping me v busy which is good for keeping the mind on something other than ttc! Wish I had a remote control though to fast fwd to o - just looked at my ticker and cant believe I'm only CD3 - aaarrgh!! lol

Jodsan...*wavin* how are you?

Jen...it is a new ticker! Glad you like it...green is my favorite color!

jenushka...you are so very welcome...thanks for the thoughts!

mmteacher...goodluck w/the Clomid...stay positive

plc1805...I am about to drive myself nuts with what is a sign/symptom and what is not...LOL

bettyboop...goodluck TTC and congrats on AF finally showing!

:goodluck: AND
:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

TO ALL TTC!!!

Hey..still reading all your posts...

Jen and Tempus..thanks for the hugs, am actually feeling great for having AF so hopefully all is getting back to normal and :pray: that this is the month to conceive.

AJC..know how you feel about AF arriving, our cycles will be pretty close this month so here's to BFP's for us and everyone else in here.

To all you ladies who have BFP's heres some more :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for you all.

Jenushka..know what you mean about remote control..if only it was that easy.

Mel A..fingers crossed for tomorrow!!!! Hope you get your BFP!!!!

AFM...DH is happy to BD as much as we have to this month...so time will tell.

emmy-lou - don't we have such accomodating guys??!!!:cryinglaugh:

smilanatu - i think i will be exactly the same - i haven't even o-d yet (i don't think) and i'm very aware of every twinge!!! hope u manage to chill a bit... :)

jenushka - aawww big hugs honey - that is tough!! :hug: keep strong sweet!

AJC - so sorry re AF - :wall:!!

maybe baby - i think feeling that u r proactive about TTC can really help and that u r not just guessing what could be the prob. I certainly feel like now I am steering my TTC ship with the twinges i have kind of matching up to aspects of my chart.

sorry just realised i'm running late - will bbl for more personals!!

HI ladies

Thanks for all the well wishes, was only a mild stroke so physically he is not too much worse off than he was before. It's his dementia thats taken a beating but he seems to recall more everyday, worse but better at the same time, but that's how it goes with these sort of things.

Back at home now, got the results of my blood test last week, 147 HCG at 3w6d so that's not too bad, been feeling a bit nervous about it all lately, *****t!ing myself to be exact, I dont think I will feel any more at ease until I pass the 8week mark when baby stopped growing last time.

I'm really reluctant to move onto the pg after m/c threads, although I have posted a few times feels like I am jinxing myself if that makes any sense at all. Plus your all just so lovely and I want you all to be in there with me.

anyways....
Hiya to all new ladies, I hope your stay here is a short one and you get those BFP's.

AJC sorry bout af *fingers srossed* for next month.

pbstar *big Hugs* you're such a strong woman, *fingers crossed8 for you too.

plc, I guess if it's doctors orders you better keep those legs up and ready all week :) hehe I'm a bit cheeky!

tempus GL with the specialist, will all go well and you'll be UTD before you know it.

Big waves and hugs for Angel Babies and Nickster, hope you're both well and jiggy.

Hope you all have a good weekend

...Laura

....ok I'm back!

ll80 - u r cheeky :lol:!!! but u speak the truth :cryinglaugh:
On a serious note, glad to hear all is progressing well with u and as far as i'm concerned u can hang out here all u like.....

pbstar - that is an excellent poem - i do like Leunig. Hope ur ok....

mmteacher - I'm with u with clearing this thread - we can all do a massive invasion on the PAML thread!!! CHARGE!!!! woohoo!!! oh - wouldn't it be LOVERLY!!!

jen - thanks honey!!!! is ur poas day this friday or next? everything is crossed for u....

hello to everyone else - :grouphug: - hope ur remaining positive and strong!!!

well not sure i've o-ed yet but i'm sure it's around the corner - all my twinges are happening and i really feel like i'm back in the game - very good feeling!

plc--I love your thought about invading the PAML thread! Upon better inspection of my chart at FF, it's next Thurs. that I should test (or when AF is due). Not sure if I actually O'ed on the day that the calendar said I was supposed to, so I'm not sure if I should poas any sooner than that. Had been thinking that maybe on Sat. I might, but I just don't want to get too ahead of myself. Last time was so much easier--was like a week late before I realized I was a week late! I wish the week went by as quickly as the weekends! Glad to hear your feeling like your back in the game--game on!

ll80--Glad to hear about bt results! Also glad you want to stick around here for a while--I don't blame you. It's the same for me (when I get my BFP) I just want to get past that first 8 wks. then I think I'll calm down a bit--I'm already stressed about it and I'm not even there yet!

Emmy-Lou--Hope AF packs her bags quickly so you can get back in the game, as well!

mmteacher--Hope the clomid works it's wonders! Good luck!

Still around now and then girl..... got to keep an eye on ya and sending you huge amounts of sticky vibes...... fat tummy gal :bellygrowing:

B'day Buddy...... watchin out for you to girl... how funny that you couldnt wait.... surprised you were in the first place :rofl: I ve got this tune going through my head... something like..... nah nah nah nah nah nah...... getting jiggy with it... nah nah nah nah nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nickster... if your anything like me then i know your lurkin... .come on... show your face and let me know how your doing

So many faces around half of which it feels like I dont even know...... AFM who knows when I will be back.... just in and out at the moment.....

8 weeks is like the magic number huh? That is when I m/c too...I think when I get a BFP I won't be at peace till baby's birthday!

Angel Babies...glad to know you are at least lurking...I miss your positive posts!

Feeling very confused right now. Yesterday I noticed watery discharge (sorry, ladies, tmi!) and when I entered that on my chart at fertility friend, it popped up that yesterday was probably my most fertile day. Prior to that it said my fertile days were 6th-8th, with possible O on 9th. BD'd last on 14th, which I know doesn't take me out of the game completely as the spermies can supposedly live for 3-5 days, but all I feel right now is dread. DF was very sweet and said that for a girl your supposed to BD the 3 days before, so I hope he's right for a change! (Usually it kills me when he's right, but this time I truly hope he is!). Does anyone know if the spotting I had, which I hoped was from implantation, could actually have been from O'ing instead? Now I'm really not sure when I should test, or when to expect AF! This is so frustrating! I tend to like to be in control, so the fact that it's completely out of my hands is killing me! HELP!!!!!

Ok, so I POAS and there is kinda something. I used Crystal Clear which makes a cross, I have seen a lot of negatives over the past 6 mths, usually the negative line is dark all the way across, on this one, there is a hole in the middle of the negative line. I can JUST make out an outline of the positive line. It's like an invisible line is there, but DH and I agree there is definately something when we hold it up to the window. I am only 10dpo so hcg must be very low. Hopefully I will get a proper line over the next couple of days. I am taking it as a positive so I have to go off the medication I am (that's why I needed to test so early - Drs orders).

Jen - if you did O yesterday, you are definately in with a chance, pg 4-5 days out is definately possible. But your fertile window may still be open (up to 24 hrs after O) so BDing now might work too. Good luck.

Big hi to everyone else.

Jodsan--Woo hoo! Congrats on the test result! So will you wait a few days to test again, or will you just try again tomorrow? I'm so excited for you! Thanks for the glimmer of hope!

AFM... This may be tmi, but I'm going to ask anyhow b'cuz I've pretty much heard it all, so I'm sure you're all used to it: I usually have discharge when I'm pg, so is it possible that maybe that's what it could be from? I had thought the other day that the spotting was possibly from implantation, so if it were would it be too soon to have the discharge as an effect of pg? Feels like I'm grasping at straws here... hope I don't sound as pathetic as I feel!

OK we got a BFN today, but i don't believe it. My temp is still up (36.9). Everything my body is doing is telling me i'm PGT So , I need a vote.

Do i go and get a blood test without the HPT + result.?

Also Can the bloods be negative at DPO 13?

Your thoughts?

Jodsan - that is exciting news. I used Crystal Clear - I used 3 brands - and it gave me the weakest positive out of them all and I was alreayd 4 or so days past AF. So maybe it requires FMU to get a really strong positive and a bit longer. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I have really lost track of everyone on this thread. Welcome to the new people - I hope your stay here is short. Very sorry for your losses, but at the very least you have come to the right place if you are looking for understanding and support. Good luck.

Bettyboop - I was so glad to hear that AF has arrived for you. You really deserve for good things to start happening now as your wait was so much longer.

EDIT - just saw Mel's post. I got a negative about 4 days past AF - admittedly I used very weak urine in the afternoon (I should have waited but the test was burning a hole in my pocket) and then the next morning i got a positive. So maybe wait a day or so to test again - when is AF due?

Have to get ready for work - so just a big hello to everyone else. Fingers crossed for some more bfps.

Have a great day.

Mel-- I heard you're supposed to wait until 5 days before AF, so I guess it would depend on when she's supposed to arrive. When's she due? You know your body better than anyone, so if you truly feel like you are, maybe you should go ahead and give it a go! Or just try to wait another day or two and try again. I with you no matter what you decide, and everything's crossed for you that you get your BFP!

I'm feeling like I'm neglecting some of you, so just wanted to say hi to everyone. JMG,nickster,Trac, Magda, Katiegirl, & tutmae--hope all you preggies and your sticky bubs are doing well! (Hope I didn't miss anyone that's pg! Wait, refresh my memory, did I forget Natty? Sorry, there's so many of us it's hard to keep track of everyone!) AJC, bettyboop, Mary M., tina k, mmteacher, plc, ll80, tempus, Canary, Mollycat, Chalalan, Anthonysmom, pbstar, seenabeena, maybebaby, Angel babies, Issy, Abbey, and Jenushka (I agree, nice name! :) ) I still think about you all and pray for you all. Hope you're all healing and being kind to yourselves. Emmy-Lou, Jodsan, Mel, treelo, and smilanatu--of course I didn't forget you guys, it's just that I recently sent you guys posts and I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget all the other wonderful women that belong to this thread! I'm so, so sorry if there's anyone else that I've failed to include! That's 31 of us now. We need to get busy ladies & get some more BFP's around here! Sending out gobs of sticky vibes and baby dust to all!

AF is due today.

I got dizzy this morning, I'm feeling nauseas and tired.

Also just had a thought even if i can get into the doc's today i probably won't get any blood results till monday anyway. So it is possibly a moot point, as i'll have to wait till next week regardless.

Wow! sorry everyone, I've been a bit selfindulgent and relatively internally focused.

Hello to all and and my thoughts are with you.

Mel - Yeah, a blood test would definately show up at 13dpo, it'll pick up any hcg in you system, apparently as soon as bubs implants it lets off 5miu straight away. Which test did you use? I would think you should get a BFP tomorrow morning at 14dpo. You have the same symptoms as me which suggests some hcg is in your system, I get really dizzy if I stand up too quickly! Do you feel warm and fuzzy too, my skins a bit itchy in the shower?

Katie - That's interesting about Crystal Clear being your weakest, which brand was your strongest? I did use first morning urine but I got up 3 times in the night to pee so it really wasn't that concentrated.

Jen - think I'm going to have to test again 2moro morning (and try not to pee 3 times throughout the night). I have 3 Crystal Clear tests left so I thought I'd test every day til Monday, then if it's getting darker I'll call the dr for a blood test. BTW - I've had creamy CM since about 2dpo, quite a bit over the past couple of days.

Mel--Your symptoms sound very promising!

Jodsan--Can't wait to hear the good news in the morning! I have a really good feeling about it.... :)

yep feeling very warm and fuzzy, plus there is this wierd colour change on me feet, It looks like they have a great tan (pity about the rest of me). My tummy and my breasts are also itchy.

How exciting it sounds like we are both heading in a very exciting direction. I'm crossing everything for you hoping that line will show itself this weekend. :goodluck2::pink-babydust::bluedust:

Must, must, must do work, :computer:and stop thinking and parusing BB.

Mel - It's just not fair, you just need to know so you can relax. Yep, just starting to get itchy breasts, my nipples are kinda stingy. My feet seem the same though, but I'm 3 days behind you. Did you use First Response for the test? I'm going to try to get one today to use tomorrow, everyone says they are the best. :goodluck2: for POAS tomorrow morning.

jen - honey first of all i have to say a big thankyou cos u have listed everyone in this thread in ur post and have made my life so much easier - well done!!!! :cryinglaugh: BTW, I hardly think ur neglecting everyone, it is really hard to keep up with everyone, try as you might! There is a H*LL of a lot of girls in here!!! We really need to get some BFPs in here and bombard that PAML thread - I'm sure they won't mind cos we're a great bunch!!! As for ur watery discharge query, i can't shed any light sorry!!! Take care sweet, not long for u now!!

jodsan - WOW!!!!!!! That is so :cool:!!!! Very excited for u sweet (quietly of course!!). When will u test again?

mel A - it does sound like it's too early - especially with those symptoms? when will u test again?????

Katie - how r u feelin honey? how far along now?

smilanatu - and everyone else (that's around 25 others according to Jen - bless u hun!!) - huge hugs as always and keep well!!

bday buddy - we r certainly "getting jiggy with it" (thankyou Mr W Smith). but, don't laugh, we just couldn't do it last night, we tried but we were just so tired!!! :cryinglaugh: so i have a major rise in temp today so think that one more jiggy tonight could count for something and then maybe rest up :redface:
take care sweet!!!

Yep used first response. I think i'll ge the three pack tonight and just do one a day till Monday.
Gook luck to you too for a clear line.

We should visualise our HGC levels doubling every day.

plc--I had to keep track of the names! Every single one listed has said something that has somehow helped get me through my darkest days. I'm just grateful for everyone! Have fun getting your jig on tonight! :)

mel- finger crossed chart looks great
spoke to doc , he said next AF we can start to TTC, wow i cannot wait as it is nearly my due date

hi everyone
just thought i would pop in and throw some more :pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesbo y: around.
Having a really quiet day working today - should have five kids in care (only one turned up) the rest are all sick. Doesn't happen that often and the one that is here is not normally in on a friday which means i could have scored the day off. Oh Well. this work is just so hard today, he slept for two hours this morning and i'm off to put him down for another hour (if i can) this afternoon.

Jen - I got the best response (strong positive line) with Discover Onestep. I also did another one that same morning - Pregnosis - and it only showed as faint positive. So Discover was the best for me. I used 3 brands! Cost a fortune. Well done on naming everyone - you need to share that list.

PLC - I will be 11 weeks tomorrow. I had another scan on Wed and was of course a nervous wreck. I have such a tough time with scans now - on one hand they offer reassurance and on the other they heighten my anxiety in the lead-up. Anyway - all went well and my Ob said it all looked very good. Baby was actually measuring 11 weeks 1 day - so ahead of my dates. I loved that! I wish the baby was measuring 6 months ahead - that would be much easier. So all is going along well. I have some milestones to reach, 12 weeks, 15 weeks and 20 weeks. It is nice to know that they are getting a little closer.

Hi to everyone else. I will spread some babydust as well :bluedust: :pink-babydust: :bluedust:

Morning ladies!

Mel A...sounds like you are well on your way to a BFP!

Jodson...wow...hope the test is a BFP today!!!

jen...the list was great and very thoughtful...I appreciate you!

bettyboop...YEAH!!! You have waited so very long...I hope BFP happens quickly for you!

Katiegirl...WONDERFUL news that all is well for you...I doubt you will calm down until your bundle of love is in your arms though.

AFM...I have been quite itchy but I assumed it was allergies or something (it is that time of year around here) I don't think I am having any symptoms right now everything has pretty much ceased except I keep going to the restroom to see if AF is here because I feel like she will start any moment (not due until 4/23) I also have an overwhelming urge to cry...strange.

bettyboop--Hope AF comes and goes in a flash for you! So glad you got the green light! I can't wait for you to get your BFP!

Katiegirl--I'm so excited for you! Don't worry, you'll get through those milestones before you even know it!

smilanatu--I was very emotional in the beginning of all my pg's, so that could be a sign in itself! The signs you were having sounded very promising, so keep your chin up!

Jodsan & Mel--Did you ladies test again? Praying for a BFP for you both!

AFM... Had quite a bit of that weird stingy/tingly feeling in my left armpit and going into my left bb last night. That was my first sign last time that I was pg. Also felt some strange sort of twinges in my tummy on the left side, which I've never felt before. My fingers are crossed....
