preggers of course.

Really hoping I am but am trying not to get too excited at the same time.

Got morning sickness real bad with ds1, but not with ds2.

I used acupuncture when dd2 was late, to try and help her along. Not sure if it worked but she did arrive later that week Also used reflexology during dd2's pregnancy, as dd1 had been breech and I heard that reflexology can help. Found it very relaxing and some much needed 'me time' whilst working full time through my 2nd pregnancy.
Yes, any news from anyone else?

OOh, have just booked an appointment with an Accupunturist... It's supposed to be quite good. Anyone else tried alternative medicine?

Pinkali37 · 28/01/2008 11:27

So who's now late? Mine is due this week but have a tight pain so think it is on it's way. Plus doctor giving me all the hope in the world saying Progesterone level low "try again next month" GREAT

Well, af arrived this morning on day 30, bugger. Only the first month of properly trying after m/c in August but still disappointed. But at least my cycles have returned normal so that's one good thing to have learnt from this.

anyone else still waiting for AF? i may getthose cheap pregnancy test strips from poundland ( 3 for £1) this weekend justin case. according ot my ovulation calendar i should see a result as of yesterday! but i think af is on her way as had cravings for sweet crunchy stuff (could explain why i ate a while box of coco pops the other day) irrelevant bit of trivia for you ladies:
1 box coco pops = 5 bowls!

scully · 25/01/2008 11:10

Sorry Pink, I don't know about your bloods, have you managed to find anything else out?Day 29 tomorrow (9pm down here so Sat is only a few hours away )
Last af was 31days (and that was the first normal length I'd had since m/c) so no testing for me before Tues.....
Long weekend here this weekend, so I'm not back at work until Wed, yay

EllieL · 25/01/2008 10:59

she's arrived. bugger.

bethoo · 24/01/2008 16:18

4 days til af due and counting....

EllieL · 24/01/2008 13:54

How's everyone doing? Still no AF for me but cycle irregular - today is day 31 but sometimes I go as long at 35 (and others as short as 23).

bethoo · 23/01/2008 11:58

Pink i am sorry but i cant help. i am hoping that someone is successful on this thread. surely one will have conceived but if notthen there is always next month and lots of baby making!

Pinkali37 · 23/01/2008 11:31

Just telephoned Doctors for blood result and apparently it is at 1.0 NOT GOOD. Does anyone think this could be becaus eit was actually day 20 and my cycles even on clomid are around 33days? HELP feeling really low

LadyOfTheCauliFlowers · 22/01/2008 12:16

The pain has just abruptly stopped.

Maybe somethign was forming there but has now made it's way down or something?
Just an idea as it has stopped as quickly as it started?

scully · 22/01/2008 11:48

Do you still have the pain LOTF? If it's been constant and you've had it a while already I would get it checked out, they can't ignore you at A&E......
I now live back in Australia but lived in England for 11yrs and both dd's were born there, so have some experience of the NHS, good and bad, mostly good though I have to say

EllieL · 22/01/2008 11:24

Yes, you should def get chacked out. Call NHS direct perhaps?

Pinkali37 · 22/01/2008 10:59

Lady, do you think you should go to the hospital? x

EllieL · 22/01/2008 10:30

Still no AF but had two BFNs. Tingly boobs (could be pre period) and a feeling a bit sick but could all be in head. Am wondering when to test again. Doubt I'll have patience to wait until weekend.

LadyOfTheCauliFlowers · 22/01/2008 10:22

Scully, sounds like your and my body operate very similarly.
I had MC at 12weeks at 30thousand feet on my way back from Dom.Rep before I had the Dss.
Went on to have DS1 who is 2 and DS2 who is 1.
Am now feeling some very sharp pain in the left side of my womb which I have never felt before and my period is tailing off already so am now worried about an ectopic.
Have started a thread to see what the wise ones say.
Seeing as DH does not want any more kids I don't want to make my chances even more remote and lose a bloody pipe too!

scully · 22/01/2008 02:08

I'm very similar to you LOTF, trying for no.3, miscarriage at 12wks. I also never had implantation bleeds with any of my pregnancies, my symptoms started at around 6-7wks, with the tiredness, sore boobs, morning sickness, but by then I had tested anyway.
If AF hasn't arrived for me by next Thurs then I'll test then, last cycle was 31days, but this was my first regular cycle since the miscarriage so it could be a few days out either side.
Hi Rach75, if AF hasn't arrived by the weekend, I would test again. Does sound like maybe it is late though, but you never know.

rach75 · 21/01/2008 21:51

hi, first time posting on here
af due today (mon 21st)but no sign yet. i was convinced it was coming yesterday as i had some crampy moments, but then nothing more today! am a bit scared to let myself think that i might be. oh, did a test friday, sunday and today! all bfn
what d'ya reckon?
xx

BabyBump2B · 21/01/2008 18:28

Hi all!

AF arrived for me on Friday instead of Monday which is very weird for me as I am always very regular - do you think it could be an early mc?

Very heavy with very bad cramps... not fun!

Not sure I should stay on your list of ttc as we now have to take a break until April!

Good luck to those of you who are still waiting! I'm crossing my fingers for you!

bethoo · 21/01/2008 16:57

Eleved = sounds like implantation bleed ot me. and be careful wearing a tampax unless you are actually bleeding as it can be dangerous.
i am watching this thread as there is a chance i may be pregnant again, i am due 28 jan so only a week to go!!

beaniesteve · 21/01/2008 16:41

I don't suspect it now!!
I have had a few dodgy periods since I came off the pill, and now have a swolen cist/node. Am having it checked out. Guess I am just getting scared after 3 months of trying! Silly for me to start worrying at this stage.

I've never had very painful periods ...

Eleveld · 21/01/2008 16:39

no of course I don't mind.

Haven't had it for a while now (touch wood) but just used to get random spurts of absolute crippling pain.

It would come on really sudden (as if suddenly hit by a bus), would have me rolling about on the bed crying, thinking I was going to pass out. Normally lasted about 15 mins and would then stop as suddenly as it started. Was really quite bizarre, I was left thinking did that really happen or did I imagine it?!

My consultant has said that what happens is these 'chocolate cysts' I have get themselves wrapped around the blood supply to the ovaries and that's what causes the pain. In my case, so far (touch wood again) they've managed to unravel themselves which is why the pain stops as suddenly. He says the risk is it happens and they don't manage to unravel themselves in which case I'd end up in an ambulance.

It rally is the most excrutiating pain I've ever experienced. and it seemed to go right through to your back passge (sorry TMI) making it hard to even sit down sometimes

Sorry for the very long explanation! Why do you ask, do you suspect you have it?
