Everyone will probably see this thread was started by me and think "Oh god, not her again".

You can tell it's getting towards that time of the month.

Anyway, on day 26 of cycle - have had a really dull tummy ache for last 2 days as if A/F is going to arrive - actually been going to the toilet to check it's that bad (Gross i know but i have to be graphic).
Woke up this morning feeling really sicky but thought i was just probably hungry as had not eaten last night - therefore went to the shop to buy a Mars Bar (Healthy, i know) and have now just thrown the whole mars bar back up again.

Is it just wishful thinking? Can't test yet as cycle's vary from 28 days to 38 days.

She fell asleep on the sofa!! We're just coming out of the day sleep so shes ready for bed, I'd run the bath too! Ah well I'll have it! My LH would u believe is very slight , infact almost non existent , but persona is giving me red days still, I expect to get the O in a couple of days, I'm day 9 now - at least I think I am, not stopped bleeding for 5 weeks!

ooooooh thanks quackers. yes i see what you mean. fingers crossed. no i am not 18 days past ov. - i wish. am just 10 now. i dont really know much about persona, but its strange that its saying no when you have low lh. maybe it is taking a while to get used to your cycle. my friend used it and she said that you had lots of red days for the first month or so as it was being cautious, as it got to know your cycle. if you have just started using it it must be why. if not, i suspect its because of your m/c and your body is taking time to get back to its regular pattern.

I have an appointment next weds with a diff GP. I hope she is a bit more sympathetic to my cause.
watch this space.....

Good luck Bogwoppit, hope she sorts out something for you, you must feel better knowing you;ve now done something about this!! Lolts of luck chuckxxxx

Bogwoppit, go armed with as much info as you can. One contributor here was sent away by her doc to keep a record of her bding for 6 months so, when I went to see me gp I went with a diary of (madeup) dates which showed I had been having sex at the correct time each month. Good luck.

hewlettsdaughter · 04/09/2003 19:34

Quackers - sorry to hear about the bleeding. Hope things regulate for you soon.

hewlettsdaughter · 04/09/2003 19:36

And Bogwoppit - good luck with the new GP.

quackers · 04/09/2003 20:18

Thanks HD, hope u ok!!! Good tip for bogwoppit!!!

Bogwoppit · 04/09/2003 22:42

cheers for the tips.
I have a list of my cycle lengths (very varied since m/c), plus can tell her all about bding over the last few months
so I shall take these plus a list of what we have tried - CM, OPK etc.
Gonna start temping & persona next week when AF arrives & I know AF willat some point cos we had a break this month cos it was getting us both a bit down.

Gosh, there's so many threads now, don't know which is which!! Just posted on day11 and counting though if anyone fancies a look.
Bogwoppit, I'm really optimistic that you'll get sorted out this time. Easy to say but try and stay positive, they'll do a few tests and checks most likely and be easily able to rule out any prob if there is one that is and then rectify it. Although you know like me you can conceive!!!! Which is the good news. I live in a street where 2 ladies took between 1-2 years to conceive they now have 3 children each, one had a very late m/c at about 30 weeks and now has 2 dd's and then there's me, 1 dd and 2 m/c's and my friend who had a ds. So out of 5 women, only 1 has has a straightforaward 'baby' history. I suppose when u look at it like that, it;s easy to see why so many poepel have probs and think it's only them. Can I ask, you said earlier that rather than talk to DH about your m.c you talked to someone else, did u find it easier or just that he felt he couldn't help u in any way?? Mine says he doesn't feel in control so it;s hard to talk when he can see no resolution at the moment. Don't get me wrong if I need a hug or wanted to talk he will, but its not the sort of talk I want.
LOLxxxxx

Bogwoppit · 05/09/2003 09:46

Quackers,
I spoke to DH about it, but i found it hard to express all my feelings. It's complicated because m/c was on DS bday.
basically we had a party planned at his dad's. I was bleeding in the am so asked if he'd ring them to see if they'd come to ours (because EPAU had told me to restin bed)- then at least I'd be around even if I was on sofa (it was 1st bday).
He did ring but they refused so he took DS over there & left me behind.
I was in agony & v heavy bleeding, but was just left to get on with it cos of his selfish family.

This is why I found it so hard to talk to him cos I didn't want to sound like I was having a go at them. So I spoke to homeopath - it was 2hrs counselling almost.
I could tell her all that happened, how I felt etc with out feeling I might put my foot in it.
I felt that DH should have supported me & put his foot down.

I have since had a long & very tearful conversation with DH about it all (around anniversary time) & can accept that maybe I wasn't perhaps clear how I felt. But his family situation is very complicated & I didn't want to rock the boat.

anyway to cut a long (sorry everyone) story short it was easier to discuss some things with someone who has no connections to the whole event

DH has been great though. he doesn't believe in homeopathy "mumbo jumbo" but has supported me going etc.

hope tht helps

quackers · 05/09/2003 09:53

Thanks Bogwoppit for sharing that with me, much appreciated. I didn't want to stir up old things for you though. I feel that talking to an impartial would be so beneficial. DH has been less communicative this time and it's been a burden in itself but if I move on he might too. xxxxxxxxx

Bogwoppit · 05/09/2003 09:56

Quackers,
don't worry about it. I am OK with talking about it now.
hope the impartial thing goes OK for you.
