TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ NOV/DEC 07

[missbelinda77]

In depends on what pathology services are available, if they provide results on weekends for example. Maybe ring your GP and ask, then you'll know whether it will matter if you go this morning or on the weekend, as you still might have to wait til Monday for the results. Try not to freak out, take nice deep breaths and call your GP as soon as they open to ask *hugs*

Morning girls!!

Firstly:

kaib - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WONDERFUL NEWS - its not easy to relax
& enjoy this wonderful moment in your life until you get that reassurance (you know
that all of us here totally understand and are here every step of the way)
I have been delving into "natural fertility" (temping, checking CM etc )
& I have been advised to check not only HCG levels on your blood test
when pregnant but also ask for progesterone levels to be tested (this
is not often standard) - the clinic i see say progesterone levels are
important and should be monitored in the first part of pregnancy
- I hope that helps and does not add to any worries.
You have the best christmas present my girl - all the very best xo

katiegirls - I am very sad to hear your news - what a difficult time for you and
your DH - words feel a bit inadequate at moments like these -
we are here to chat anytime - xo Anna

Hello to everyone else !!

I have been (like all of us) flat out with work before we close for xmas and generally preparing for the big day with family. As you know my sister had
her baby last Friday and everything is going great - she is lovely.
Yesterday spoke to some close friends and they announced they are pregnant with their 3rd baby (only 6 weeks at the moment eeeeeeeeeKKK people are so naive thinking that mc wont happen to them !!! )
This couple has a 2 year old a 11 month old and this one will be due in August!!
This is a couple that told us years ago they would have difficulties having children because she has PCOS and he has a dodgy sperm count - YEAH RIGHT!!!
HAPPY FOR THEM BUT AGAIN SICK OF HEARING ABOUT ANY ONE ELSE OUTSIDE OF BB HAVING A BABY - I AM CRAZY!!!

Finally - I am going to post this question on the general forum - but just wondering with pregnancy symptoms how early did you notice them - in particular breast changes - I am about 5 to 7 days past ovulation and my breast are tender and i think they are certainly fuller than usual.
last time i was pregnant i was a bit oblivious to symptoms but did remember my boobs feeling different - maybe my imagination but just wanted to know what you girls experienced!!

Have a grat day for all those who are finishing up work for xmas today

p.s I forgot to say my friends (DH's friends really HA!!) had the gall to ask if I was pregnant too - well duh!!
I think i would let you know!! How rude of people to ask - we have not said we are even trying to anyone at the moment and we have not even told anyone (except parents and sister) about the m/c!!
UUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH...smug people are driving me crazy!!! - Vent over!!

I didn't know I was pregnant at the time but when I was 3 weeks pregnant I felt tender bbs, tiredness, light cramping and I had a yeast infection. They say that in early or late preg. the sugars in our body or something can make us more prone to that kind of infection. I had never had one before but boy that was quite the sign. Thats how my mom found out she was preg. with me!

MissBel & Annabelle - thanks so much for your reassurance this morning. I read your posts before I went to GP, but haven't had chance to post until now. GP has requested BT - HCG, prog levels, along with a few others e.g. antibodies. Unfortunately test results won't be in until later next week (thurs/fri) but not a lot I could do about that even though I conveyed my anxieties to the GP. So will just have to wait & see. I did another HPT this afternoon when I got home, and test line is much darker than control line, and much darker than 2 days ago, so that's promising. Thanks again.

Annabelle - with respect to your question about early pg symptoms, my early symptoms (from around 7-8 DPO) this month were - breast tenderness (at sides, near armpits), extremely sore nipples (sorry if TMI), creamy CM (although not a lot; only noticed this when checking cervix position), on/off nausea, "bloodish" taste in mouth, on/off sore throat, heartburn after a 'meat' meal. The sore throat & "bloodish" taste in mouth were what I also got when I had chem pg in October. I have no recollection of symptoms from my first pg as I wasn't charting then - all I remember was at 14DPO I had terrible metallic taste in mouth and was extremely nauseus & dizzy. Have fair amount of bloating as well, but I also get this around AF time so this isn't a reliable sign for me. If you were to 'google' the words "TWW", you would come across a site specifically dedicated to "TWW" symptoms - I checked mine against those listed on that site every day from about 4 DPO...obsessed I know! I have my fingers crossed for you that you will get your Christmas BFP too!

Hey kaib That is great that you got your BT done - that darker line is such a reassurance for you - wonderful - now enjoy Christmas and look forward to some more good news on Thursday.I am sure you are going to sail through just fine.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN - WELL DONE
(Thanks for your advice on the TWW I will check it out)


zionsmum -Thank you too for your advice - guess it can go either way and will just have to sit tight. Oh poor thing yeast infection - things we women go through - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

Hi everyone busy Christmas shopping I bet - thinking of you all
