Hey everyone!
So, I was wondering (I have started charting on FF - I actually bought my first thermometer yesterday!) and I was wondering if there is much else to charting and everything? What do you actually do?
I had to put in my temp at what time, mucous-dry,sticky,creamy etc, when/if we BD'd, um... and if I am bleeding/spotting. I think you do that every day.
Is there anything else?

Hi Babyhopes. I hope all turns out okay for you. I can only imagine how easy it must be to get worried during this stage. I will send lots of positive vibes and prayers your way.

Just a quick post from me; sorry for lack of personals to everyone else...

Baby Hopes, what's giving you the feeling that there's something not right? I know we all carry the fear that it's going to happen again as I'm still walking that walk at the moment - I don't know if it's something that any of us will ever shake until we have our little ones in our arms with us after the long 9 months. I too have been fearful that it's going to happen again, and at every sign of cramping or blood (even the slightest amount) I start freaking out. I've booked in for an early scan at 7 weeks, which is Monday for me, but I know some ladies on these forums have had earlier scans than that even. I know if you went back to GP you could request a transvaginal u/s from local imaging centre without having to see OB as such - that may just give you some peace of mind until you get in to see your OB, although the imaging centre won't give you the results, you'd need to go back & see the GP to get those. But I can understand your concern and your fear. After much venting to ladies on this forum, I've finally come to a point in 'letting it be' as there's nothing that I can physically do now that can stop it happening again. As painful as it would be if it happens to any of us again, we can't control what is simply out of our control, even though that's the one thing we want to be able to do. Be brave Baby Hopes, and keep in contact here, as we're all here to help you through whatever happens. I'll be praying for you.

Tempus - thanx for the cyber hug; gratefully received!

Babyhopes - sending you positive thoughts and vibes, darl - i know how hard it must be and how you must be feeling. I hope it is just a case of nerves which will soon go away as you get further along. Thinking of you and praying that everything is hunky dory.

Babyangels - i think you have it all covered! Sounds pretty thorough and like you know what to do. Good luck. (I have been charting for 15 months now).

We are off to see the FS on Thursday next week - glad to finally have an appointment and that DH is keen to go. I think he is realising it's not going to happen on its own so we need some help./

Hugs to everyone and have a lovely weekend.
LSB xxx.

babyhopes: some fear is absolutely normal, but if it becomes debilitating, you really need to talk to a professional. And of course, we're all here giving you support too, because we all get what you're going through. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to say that, like Jo, I am hoping to join you in a couple of months. It is a bit early for me as I am still bleeding after m/c No.2 (sorry if TMI), but I am coping by trying to stay positive and hopeful for preg No. 3.
BettyBoop, thank you for your kind words on the bleeding in preg forum. I hope that AF comes soon for you.
Good luck everyone, I'll be lurking too, but will catch up in a month or two!

5w (April 07)

7w (missed m/c, 31.12.07)

Hi Ladies,

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that everyone is doing great and that this new year brings us all our hearts desires.

I have not been on this week, have just been out of it. On Friday I woke up feeling very unconfortable and like I was going crazy to m/c already. I decided to just wait out the weekend calmly until monday when I see the dr.

Anyways, yesterday Saturday evening, I started feeling cramps and I had a lot more brown spotting. Then by last night I started bleeding and with severe cramping. I have been in bed all day with pain and I am bleeding alot. I guess that the waiting has prepared me for this, other than the pain I am feeling fine. And can't wait to ttc again.

I hope you ladies have a wonderful evening and thanks again for listening to me.

**bettyboop** · January 7th, 2008, 08:27 AM

Magda, so sorry for what you are going through right now. Sending you big hugs and hoping you can move forward.

**tempus moriendi** · January 8th, 2008, 11:25 AM

Magda: I'm so sorry for your loss. Be real good to yourself right now and keep us informed. I'll be praying for you.

Hiya All

Have been lurking for a few months now. Popped in Sep/Oct after m/c # 2. Have since been undergoing investigations into my m/c's before we tried again. Only thing tests bought up was uterine polyp which was removed. Went to see my fabulous ob/gyn this afternoon who gave us the green light to start trying again. Very excited, I should be nervous but I just feel so good about everything this time (you know what it's like - up and down like a yoyo, I'll probably nervous again tomorrow but here's hoping the happy feelings stay around for a while).

Very pleased to see quite a few

while I was lurking - Congrats to those & best wishes for a happy & healthy pregnancy. Of course sorry to see some faces still in here from before but here's hoping 2008 will be the year for all of us & we'll all be out of here!
