TTC Waiting room stay as long at you like part 4

hi ya spink i would get a clearblue test they are the best and you will know for sure

kate are yu ok???
i am so so sorry to hear about your mmc it must be so hard for you

thanks for your advice, Kate, and I'm really sorry to hear about the mmc. How are you doing?

Spink could be bfp, but could also be evap line IMO. Advice would be a) ideally wait til friday or b) if that sounds impossible go and get yourself a clear blue digital, no chance of evap lines there! They are expensive but sometimes these things just have to be done! Good luck!

ok, an HPT question for you..
I had some spotting last week, then nothing. Have been feeling a bit weird.. AF is due tomorrow or Fri. Tested yesterday (I know, too early but couldn't help mylsef ) BFN... well, then about an hour later there was a very faint (but pinky) line. Is this just evaporation? I thought evap lines were colourless??
I am very confused - what do you reckon? There are two HPTs in the house but I have banned myself from testing again til tomorrow morn when AF is supposed to be here (I've got a 28 or 29 day cycle)
Help!

Just popping in to say emmsy I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. I don't know about AD's and ttc but I can ask my doctor friend for you if you like? Have you looked into any alternative therapies? It can be expensive but IMO definitaly worthwhile. I started seeing a homeopath last year and I found talking to her about things helped enormously. Don't know where you are but I think she does telephone appts if you're interested. Really really hope you get the help you need, whatever form it may take.

Looks like I'll be back here shorly ladies . Another mmc on the cards, just waiting to have it confirmed. Just can't believe it has happened again

That's great news Sam. It's lovely having another pregnant lady to go through it all with.
I have 4 spots and I never ever gets spots. One looks like a second nose!! Do you think it's the weather?
Has anyone else lost a few days on the update? I think i've lost 4...

That's great news about your cousin Sam.

My SIL and I were due out first children at the same sort of time and it was lovely to go through it all with her.

hi ya fruitloop

how are you today??
i broke out in loads of spots this month so hopefully it has something to do with ovulation well its definately to do with hormones

i phoned my cousin last night she was the oly person i told that i was taking clomid and told her i was pregnant .then she said she was pregnant and 5 weeks as well!!
cant believe it you could never have planned that .
although she has a dd 8 months and has not had a period since she had her as she breastfed how lucky is she

hey FL how are you?? i assume you have been coverin the BD bases and that why we havent seen you around today?? no BFPs today but tomorrow is another day and we have one or two testers tomorrow aswell so we might be back on a roll!!

ah thanks emmsy that is a lovely thing to say xx
xx ei xx

Thanks MTW07 and MrsEi25 I think you will make a lovely nurse MrsE ever thought of becomming a doctor?

emmsy yes it is possible for your glands to be inflamed(sp?) due to an eye infection as your glands are the drainage system for your body and will drain away any excess fluid that would build up due to inflammation and infection. drink plenty of fluid to enable better fluid drainage and use your eye drops until the course is finished and then review it again. you should notice a difference within 2-3 days though (im nearly finished training to be a nurse so i have read about/ worked around these kind of problems iyswim) hope you get better soon hun xx
xx ei xx

So glad you are feeling a bit better today. I've no idea about eyes and glands

I also meant to ask if any one knows if an eye infection, can spread to your glands in your neck. My left side of my neck has swollen and is a little sore, it's on the same side as my infected eye? will the antibiotic eyedrops make the gland better? don't worry if no one knows, I will try and google it!

Thanks girls for all your support, your all so full of good advice I think I am definately going to stay on the AD's for a little while, hopefully no longer than 2 months I am already starting to feel a little calmer with them. I was on different AD's and beta-blockers many years ago, I have had bad nerves before (sounds better than 'mental health' problems) I was in a terrible state then. There is only a slight comparison this time, I don't have time to get too ill,not with my tribe!
I am not going to take the mini pill though, even if I wasn't TTC I think I know enough now about temps,opk's,cm etc...
My DH wasn't very happy when I told him that prozac decreases your libido, apart from when it's my fertile period, I never want sex any way

Ooh Emmsy I'm so sorry you are having such a tough time I think a lot of great advice has already been posted and I have to agree that it was a "quick" diagnosis.
If you feel you need the medical help then of course take it but if you feel counselling may help try that.
I was put on AD's by a well meaning doctor and I took them for 2 wks, felt better and stopped. They are supposed to take 2 wks to even start working so it was clear to me that I was just a bit down and not truely depressed. It's all dependant on the individual and if you are truely depressed quite often only outsiders can tell. I do hope things improve for you soon,

Dear Emmsy, a big squeeze for you I think lovely
Hmm, I don't know what to suggest, difficult because different things work for different people. First of all, I've been to my GP too in the past for something 'small' and ended up being offered ADs because I got tearful. I was really offended, actually. But it did get me asking myself proper questions about why I got upset, and what I needed to do look after myself at the time. When I actually thought about it, I had a lot going on, but, as you do, had just been getting on with the hecticness of everyday life, and not giving myself time to be with friends, and talk to them about some of my sadness, and slow down, and chew over some of the hard stuff. I ended up admitting to close friends that I was struggling, which they were surprised about because I seemed 'fine', but it was the start of a process of me dealing with things that I needed to. I decided against ADs because I wanted to do this other stuff first.. would have gone back to them had I still been struggling a few months later.

I DO think ADs can be really helpful, they can give you a bit of a lift that then helps you to go on and do what you need for yourself. And it is not an either/or thing -ADs alongside counselling type stuff has been shown to be really helpful in the world of research...

Bleurgh.
Didn't realise that would turn into such a mammoth post. Hope some of it makes sense/maybe helps..

ha ha come on and join us

i was so excited wit my first i told so many people i could not wait .
this time i will wait as i am so nervous but because i was having so many problems this is such a shock and i cant help it{grin]

my ds will be 2 on 25th september and i am due 2nd october so it will be a 2 year age gap.
the only thing i hope is that i dont have baby on ds birthday !!

i was 12 overdue with ds so maybe that will happen this time too!!

CB Emmsy, so sorry to hear you are feeling so low. If you are sure you are ready for another baby now then it is probably a good idea not to take the mini pill and maybe your no plan of no ttc pressure will work . I don't know anything about ADs I'm afraid but MrsEi seems to have given some good advice.{{{huuuugs}}}
