All welcome.

I really don't want to give you false hope iggy, but in my long and complicated ttc career, if I had a cream egg for every time a doctor/midwife/consultant has said that something 'should' be the case when it's not I'd be a very happy woman indeed!

Try not to hunt for symptoms or changes, you'll drive yourself insane, try to keep calm and count the days to the next scan. I know it's much easier said than done, but I'm just trying to pass on some advice learned the hard way.

Sorry to sound preachy .

iggypiggy · 31/03/2009 09:51

no - never been PG before funtime and I wasn't panicking too much about the lack of symptoms cos my mum said she never really had any when she was PG

But the doctor said that the MS should have been getting worse - not better - since the first week i found out (so I guess week 3?). Plus am tired - but not as tired as others seem to be (looking at the PG threads) and the breast tenderness is not as bad as it was... so I just think it all sounds bad now i think about it....

thanks for choc xx

Yellow have fingers crossed for you this month.

funtimewincies · 31/03/2009 09:38

Oh, keeping everything crossed for you iggy.

Have you been successfully pregnant before? I only ask, because lack of pregnancy symptoms is only a bad sign if you already know that the hormones affect you badly. For me, who gets morning sickness from the slightest progesterone rise, it's bad. For my good friend who barely gets any symptoms (and has 2 healthy dds to prove it) it's not.

Everything crossed for you iggy.

Had high temp today but also feel periody in my lower back. Also woke lots in the night so that is probably reason for high temp. Fully expect af at any time.

I just feel v. low and can't help but think is all over for me. The doctor said my lack of PG symptoms was a bad sign too. 8th April seems ages away.

Will get some choc - am sure that will help xx

Pinkyblue123 · 31/03/2009 09:24

Iggypiggy I have everything crossed for you.

Joolsiam · 31/03/2009 09:23

How worrying Iggypiggy

Fingers crossed that little bean has a growth spurt over the next few days.

The waiting and worrying must be awful Hope you have lots of choc and distractions to get you through

iggypiggy · 31/03/2009 09:19

Hi all - had early scan yesterday and not good news

Foetus is only measuring 6 1/2 weeks - but should be 7 1/2 and heart beat is very slow. Doctor very negative about it all... have to go back for second scan on 8th April.

May be joining you all again soon

kittycatcat · 30/03/2009 16:41

queenie1 · 30/03/2009 15:32

sorry to hear you've been feeling so low wasabi. I have been there and I can sort of imagine how shitty you must be feeling. Know what you mean about laying off regular posting too. Last summer I thought I was going to lose the plot and it really helped not to post too much on Mumsnet. Hope you begin to feel better over the next few days (I find my spirits always lift a bit a few days into my AF)

wasabipeanut · 30/03/2009 14:59

Jools - Yes I had been warned that it would be a bad one. My poor dh will be relieved when I tell him that was probably the worst it will get. He got home from work on Friday after a fairly bad day to be hit with that. Poor bloke.

Yellow - I don't know what was going on - it was brown spotting all the way through. In my case I'm pretty sure it wasnt a cp as I got negatives from HPTs 12 days po and today. I may not even have ov'd at all of course - just because I got a positive OPK it proves nowt.

Pinkyblue123 · 30/03/2009 14:56

Wasabi I was the same for the first few AF's after my MC. It took me a good few months for my system to get back to normal again.

I was trying to think of ideas today to stop me from obsessing about TTC as i too can feel my self getting really stressed out about it as times which i am sure does not help things. Any ideas anyone?

yellowflowers · 30/03/2009 14:54

Hi wasabi )and everyone else of course). I had same as you last month - 6 days of spotting before AF started properly - starting watery pink/brown and becoming red. I think something was going on, whether cp or something else.

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 30/03/2009 14:51

Oh, and the meltdowns do get better - last time, I had one major outburst / floods of tears 24 hrs before AF arrived and was fine after - so the length and severity of the hormone hit seems to lessen with time - HTH

Joolsiam · 30/03/2009 14:49

Wasabi - my first to AF's post MC resulted in a scary hormonal meltdown on the day before AF, carrying on for a couple of days after. I really don't think there is anything you can do other than ride it out

wasabipeanut · 30/03/2009 14:34

Hi girls,

AF finally showed this morning after 6 goddamn days of spotting! Arrrghhhhh. Oh well, at least I can start again. Quite relieved actually. My cycles are clearly up the spout so not sure of there is even much point in trying over the next few months. We'll see.

I had a bit of a meltdown on Friday night - loads of tears and feeling really grief stricken. It was horrible. I really can't face going through this every month so I am chilling out a bit. I will still post here (and certainly lurk) when I have anything to say but I think that my posting so regularly in the conception forum is fuelling my neuroses and thats just not good.

Anyone seen C1ndy around today? Was rhinking of her over the weekend, poor love.

queenie1 · 30/03/2009 14:09

jools - I got it around 10-11dpo I think and it continues on and off. Glad to hear you're on a 2ww this month! Here's hoping for you, yellow and anyone else...

wasabi - any news?

Joolsiam · 30/03/2009 13:59

Quick question for the BFP'ers who got creamy CM during the 2WW - can you remember roughly what DPO ??

Yes, 2 or 3 DPO and I'm symptom spotting already

Pinkyblue123 · 30/03/2009 13:03

Hello all.

Sorry you are feeling a bit low Yellow the later part of the two week wait is the pits!!

Fingers crossed for you too Jools

Thinking of you Cindy

Any news Wasabi? Last we heard you were still waiting for AF?

Well I actually managed to take my temp this morning (CD4) who would have thought it would be such a difficult thing!! So hopefully my new months resolution of temping will happen after all!!

How are you all this week?

10 dpo and temp quite low so am not hopeful. Expecting spotting to start any minute soon. A bit depressed about it all today.

Have been (naughtily) doing internet cheapies and not even the faintest glimmer of a faint line.

I do feel exhausted though and have done for days and feel a bit odd and befuddled, but think I am coming down with something.

C1indy so sorry to read this. Echo what the others have said xx

Hi jools I'm on the 2ww too. Finding it quite hard. Have been shattered and needing naps all week but putting it down to some kind of flu.

Hope you're doing okay c1ndy

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 29/03/2009 21:04

Helloooooooo - there is an echo in here today !

C1ndy - have been thinking about you all weekend and I hope you are doing OK-ish ? I remember the feelings like it was yesterday, after an MC at around the same time. If it would help to talk one to one, just let me know and I'll give you my email address. I'm glad you found Emmsys Angels (although I don't post there very much any more, I still drop in from time to time - not stalking, honest )

How is everyone else doing ? I'm now on my first proper 2WW since Dec, despite not planning on TTC this month - it just happened, the day before OV
