MC Avengers - Chocolate cake anyone?

[mistlethrush]

I've started a new thread as the old one was full - hope everyone finds their way here OK.

I read somewhere that the symptoms can fade away becasue youre body gets used to the new hormones....

hi ladies
daisy i posted for you in the waiting room but i will say the same here it is common for early preg symptoms to vary from day to day. please try not to worry too much (i know how hard that is) take it day by day and as you say this pregnancy is a totally different experience to the last so dont let the fear of the past ruin what you have now
ontheup any news?
no AF for me as yet, very high temp for me at this point in my cycle and im 2 days past my usual LP. i tested this morning and BFN i have absolutely no clue what is going on with my cycle il keep you posted with any developments
xx ei xx

Thanks, both. I kind of wondered, too, if maybe they haven't been sore for so long as it's the second time in a few months that I've been pg, so my body has got used to the hormones more quickly. ...

Anyway, I'm going to take a deep breath . . . and . . . relax.

ei - weird - hope you have some answers soon, hon.

hello,
back from our holiday! I can see there are sadly some new people but wlecome.

Waiting for af here although not optimistic due to losing my temper yesterday. That is always a sign she is on the way! This is all despite lots of holiday bd on the right days!

Welcome back, cece - hope you had a great holiday - and remember that pmt symptoms (including being short tempered) often same as pg ones . Hope it'll be your month...

Daisy - when I was pg with DS, the sore boobs were the symptom that came v early (about 5 weeks) but only lasted a week or so - was just left exhausted, and feeling sick - whereas when pg last time, all symptoms stopped really dramatically (as opposed to fading) just when I think the pg failed

As ei said, symptoms can vary day by day.. Completely understandable why you're worrying...am sure we'll all be the same. Am hoping it's a sticky bean in there for you in the meantime....

thanks daisy - how many weeks now?

I have had terribly sore (.)(.) the past week and a half.... So much so that they have hurt even when holding a towel against them! But had a few signs of blood the past day or two so how knows! It was barely there but it was there... Not actually sure which day I am on though. Hold on will have a quick check.

CD 27 and I think I OV about CD 18, but haven't put my temps onto FF yet!

welcome back cece

Hi Cece! Daisy - don't know whether this will assist at all - 1st mc - I was still feeling reassuringly nauseous right up to the spotting which took me to A&E and resulted in ERPC following day - so, you can still have the symptoms even when its not all OK - so I wouldn't worry too much about symptoms or lack thereoff... I think its all very dependant on the individual pregnancy, and even for the same woman each pregnancy can be very different...

Fingers crossed that you're wrong and that you shouldn't have been worrying.

Still no AF but havent tested today as fed up with getting BFNs

Looks like af has got me

On the bright side my referrel to the fertility clinic has arrived for 20th Aug - all seems very quick!!!

Back luck cece

Good news re your appointment though, maybe its quick due to summer hols?

Oh dear, sorry to hear that Cece, but good news about your appointment. As I'm new to this thread and to mumsnet, I don't know your "story", but I hope that the clinic can give you some answers and help you on your way to ttc.

How are all you other ladies waiting for af? Ontheup and Queenie, keep us posted.

My af finished yesterday after 4 days. Seems very short. But then a) I haven't had a proper cycle since I was 19 (now 27) due to being on pill then more recently my pg/miscarriage. So I guess this might just be normal for me. As far as I know, short periods aren't an obstacle to conceiving.

So I can tentatively say that I am now on CD5, with no idea about when I might ovulate. Am going to TRY not to get too obsessive and calculating about when to bd. Ha, I say that now! The plan is to just go for it and have fun- every other day I reckon. I would dearly love to get pregnant this month (duh), as I'm on hols without my partner in Sep, and then we have a family member moving into our (very small house) at the end of Sep, so it will be harder to make babies.

I never thought I'd be sharing such details on tinterweb! But it is so nice to have contact with other women in the same boat.

Just a quickie to let you know that I've decided to have an early scan before I go completely nutty! Booked for next Weds, so should be able to see quite a lot as I'll be 8+4 by then. I'm feeling MUCH better now I have a landmark to look forward to. Will post again to let you know how it goes - otherwise, I'll probably go quiet for a bit so I can stop obssessing fo a few days.

cece - sorry the witch got you. Great about your referral though.

ontheup . Hope you have some kind of result either way soon.#

joy - very best of luck with this month - relaxing and having fun sounds like a good plan (smile)

mistle - thanks for that. I know you're right, and will try to remember not to forget that!

daisy I knew you would cave in. I would have done the same

me too

Hello ladies, I've not posted for about 10 days as have been on holiday. (Lovely despite rain and sickness - nope not of the morning variety either)

Anyway, I need to rant! I had totally convinced myself I was pg this month. Totally and utterly convinced. AF got me a week last Fri. First one since last mc. Lasted three days. Then stopped and have had two minor bouts of spotting since then. Gutted is not the word. Took DS to the park that afternoon, and could not turn around for new born babies being BF by the sandpit and women with huge bumps. I've never seen so many in one playground. I had to leave. It was awful. Poor DS was dragged off mid sandcastle.

I've not completely caught up yet, so can I ask Cece about your referral? Who are you going to see? I've finally got my referral too but have to wait until Sept 15th. Grrr. In the meantime, back to weeing on the OPK sticks and counting days. Again.

Sorry to see new arrivals. FIngers crossed for us all this month.

I'd be doing the same too Daisy! Will be thinking of you.

ladyhelen

sorry you had a bad day at the park. I too thought it would be my lucky month this month

I saw the GP at beginning of July and she referred me then, so was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment through so quickly...

I am going to a hospital fairly near to me but not the nearest as this particular consultant specialises in fertility issues apparently. The GP wrote sub fertility on the referral, as I actually have two children (with no problems whatsoever). Since my youngest was born I have also had two unplanned pg both of which I mc. One at 9 weeks and the last one at 18 and half weeks. We have been ttc since then, so 6 months now. My age is probably the biggest factor I think as I am now 41.

Hi ladies

What a week! 2 BFNs, AF finally arrived 1 week late and is mother of all AFs and I've just had a row with not so DH about absolutely nothing!

My 2 and a half year old is looking like the better prospect to spend the night with!

Here's hoping for a better month for everyone and good luck with your scan daisy I would definately have done the same thing

Take care all - I'm so glad I can come here adn moan and read others posts and people actually get what I'm on about!

Hi everyone

Just a quickie to say that despite having had strong symptoms AF got me today 4 days late - i am not happy as yuo can imagine

ckeandicecream and ontheup - sorry to hear you got you af...

Cake and ontheup, sorry it didn't happen for you both this month. Seems to be a month for BFNs and unwanted periods around here... Hopefully next month will be a totally different story.

Ladyhelen it must be hard to be around small children when you are having such a hard time. I don't have occasion to be around little ones much, as I don't have any children. But the bumps- everywhere!- make me feel rather wistful. And endless birth announcements at work. But then, I know for a fact that some of the new parents in my office had far from an easy ride, so I'm really happy for them (would be happy for them anyway but, well, you know what I mean).

cece I didn't know your story. So sorry about your mcs. That must be so hard. Keep us posted on how your appointment goes. Is it soon?
I'm thinking my age is a factor too. I'm 37, although my first mc was at 31, so it can't be totally the reason. I'm half expecting the consultant to say - well what do you expect woman. You left it too damn late to start having children.
I had DS at 34. He's now 3yrs and we started TTC no 2 when he was 21 months, so about 18months ago now and I've been pg three times since then.
Feel really really low today. I can't stop thinking about it. I should be 35 weeks pg this week with baby conceived in late Dec, or 16 weeks with the last.

I am going to take some time away I think and try to stop focussing on ttc - good luck to everyone here and thanks for your help over the past few months
