The TTC DP CM GP we will all graduate before this reaches 999 messages

Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

iggy sorry to hear what you're going through! I echo Jools though, a hearbeat is a good sign, and from that link, it certainly seems that one "low rate" is not in itself anything to worry about.

8th of April must seem like an eternity away, but just think of all the growing (and beating) your little bean will get up to in the meantime!

I'll be keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

(PS Jools Just had a nosy on fertilityfriend. I had EWCM on CD10 which was also the OV day. CD11 was sticky (possibly due to PreSeed) and CD12 onwards creamy. Had EWCM again on CD15 which was the same day as the implantation temp dip. Then back to creamy and a BFP.) Hope that helps? Gosh, the things we disclose in the name of TTC...

Thanks for that Broodzilla

I was determind not to get obsessed (at least not until week 2 of the 2WW, but seeing creamy CM yesterday (2DPO, CD16) was a surprise ! I also slept really badly last night, but not my usual tossing and turning - more like just being wide awake from around 2am. I last had this when I was PG before. Today, (3DPO), I think I have a mild dose of thrush (another pregnancy symptom from last time), more creamy CM and, although I could be imagining it, just a general feeling of oddness in the abdominal area

How on earth am I going to stay sane for another 11 days !!!!

Jools all sounds very promising and exciting - meant to say earlier, I'm so glad to hear that you're back in the saddle. ;)

Thanks Broodzilla

It was all quite unexpected - I'd resolved to leave DP to sort his head out till after Easter - well can I help it if he decides to seduce me the night before OV

Part of me is quite philosophical - I didn't really want a mid Dec baby if I had a choice, and I would like to lose more weight (12 lb loss at the mo and in size 14 work skirts - yay !), so if it happens, I'll be jumping for joy and if it doesn't, there is always next month

I just want to know NOW

wasabi thanks - I'm not sure how to cope with the wait - feel awful (miserable) today - and another symptom disappeared today - have just realised that am no longer running to loo every hour or two.. am back to normal whereas yesterday I did have those symptoms so am convinced all isn't well.

thanks broodzilla much appreciated.

Apols for rambling on here - but hormones and emotions all over place today...

Iggy fingers crossed the ladies positive vibes rule out the docs forecast! hugs

Thinking of you iggy

I've just eaten a HUGE AMOUNT of chocolate. Guess that means spotting/af will start soon.

Hello. I imagine you are all in bed like normal people. Dh was meeting work people tonight but he said he wouldn't having a late one. At midnight I tested to ask if he was nearly home as I was worried. He has just replied to say he's just leaving. I am really annoyed, not that he's out late per se but because a) he should have let me know earlier so I wasn't worried and b) because I am tired but no point going to bed because I'll wake up when he gets in and find it harder to go to sleep again.

Sorry, not about conception at all. Just needed a rant. And my boobs are sore.

Feel better now as he has texted big apologies from bus stop saying lost track of time but very sorry because he knows it's not fair to make me worry. Sorry to bore you all. X

Yellow - they can be such inconsiderate buggers at times can't they? Hope you managed to get some decent sleep in the end.

Iggy - hope you are feeling positive today hhoney. Take heart in the link that Jools posted. Also, just to let you know, the needing a wee all the time thing wasn't consistent with me when I was pg with ds. I'd have days where I did and days where I didn't and everything was fine with him. It got a lot better from about 10 or so weeks if I remember correctly.

Jools - yes I am glad to see you back in the saddle too . We will all help you stay sane in the 2WW!

Well I am feeling monstrous today. I think my ds has passed on a lovely throat infection or tonsilitus or something because since yesterday morning I have had a really sore throat and felt dire. Really struggled with ds yesterday - had to put him to bed at 6 as I felt so ill Now he is at nursery and luckily they can keep him for a full day. Sods law that I get ill when it is financial year end so dh is insanely busy, my parents are on holiday and all my friends are at work. Have been taking paracetomol and brufen but its stopped being effective which isn't good Just waiting till nine to book a GP appt which will prob involve an interrogation from the receptionist.

Morning all.

yellow Hope your Dh was suitably sorry when you saw him xx

Thanks kitty v. much appreciated.

wasabi I feel v. negative (sorry to whinge about it) just don't feel pregnant anymore... I sort of know but I hope am wrong also thank's re: the needing the loo thing is nice to read. Sorry you feeling so rubbish - hope you get some good drugs from the Gp to make you feel better.

I have moved the scan date to Tues 7th April as I thought even one day less waiting would be better...

iggy whinge away my love. If you sort of know in your heart that things aren't right then that isn't good. I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. Its very difficult to know what to write because on one hand I want you to stay positive but on the other hand I believe that your instinct should be respected.

Moving the scan date was a good idea - only 6 days to go really.

They did offer us either date - and not sure why we went for the day after (strange insanity and maybe wanting to put off bad news) but was obvious that was wrong decision - so changed yesterday.

Sorry for taking over the ttc thread with this - but is where I feel most able to 'talk' about it. xx

iggy - so sorry you're having to go through all this. I'm a big believer in instinct in these sorts of matters BUT don't lose sight of the fact that you DID see a heartbeat. I guess it's going to be a LONG six days...we're all here for you.

jools - glad, too, that you're back into the madness of the 2WW!!!

I Iggy thinking of you, and still keeping everything crossed.

Sorry you are feeling so poorly Wasabi
Hope you are not going too mad on the 2ww Jools

Glad DH has said sorry Yellow

Well I have been to see GP for results of day 21 test today. Not great news my Progesterone levels are 25 which only means possible Ovulation apparently (should be over 30) So he is referring me to a fertility clinic. I am gutted that things are not more positive, has anyone else had a similar experience??

Was thinking of you last night Iggy Wish I could make the days go faster for you

I also believe in instinct - something just didn't feel right for me last time and I couldn't articulate / didn't take it seriously as a green first-timer - wish I had - then maybe I'd have had an ERPC at the time I think it all happened, rather than spending another 4 weeks thinking I was PG

Sorry - hit for 6 a bit today - very happy news but brought it all back - one of the people on my old a/n thread had her waters break a few weeks early and will have her LO isoon My old EDD is approaching far too fast ....

thank you all so much for your support. Is making me feel much better.

Spend most of last night in tears (am not a tearful person AT ALL). Finding work v. hard to concentrate on.

pinkyblue Sorry that you didn't get good news - but on the up side at least you are being referred somewhere - so you can get answers I guess? xx

Jools can imagine the EDD will be v. hard for you. This whole ttc / pg thing is such an emotional time anyway - thanks for your thoughts. xx

queenie thanks - you are right - I should at least hold onto that.

Crossed posts Pinkyblue - sorry, no experience to offer but at least you are being referred. I've heard great things on MN about Clomid helping ovulation, so there is plenty of hope.

I ended up in tears this morning - not sure if it was hormonal or just an emotional response / reminder of my EDD

4DPO and going quietly mad, but another 2lbs down on the scales :D :D :D

Jools I found that my EDD was very upsetting, I could not help but be reminded of it as it was my birthday! Lets hope you get a BFP before then to cheer you up.

I am feeling pretty low about the low progesterone, when I asked if I could still get PG GP said that they could not tell as I maybe ovulating but I may not be. I always get positive OPK I guess I will be able to tell if my temperature goes up this month ( my first month of temping) I guess i can compare it to the charts i still have when I was TTC my DS five years ago.

iggy - not taking over at all. 7 days seems like a n age when you are waiting...

I think spotting about to start but not hendred per cent sure. 12dpo today but spotting usually started by 11dpo, unless ov dates were wrong. Temp high still but had very disturbed sleep again so that is probably why. boobs have stopped hurting and no cm at all (tmi?) - bone dry in fact.

Yellow - when I got my one and only BFP, I was pretty sure by 12DPO as I'd not had the usual spotting - a sure give-away

I've gone from having creamy CM to being bone dry too

Its official - I have farkin tonsilitus. Quite nasty as well apparently. I am being dosed with penicillin plus many lovely painkillers. Its even making my ears hurt.

Penicillin might not actually work apparently as it could be viral not bacterial. Bloody hope they do cos I am hungry and thirsty but it hurts so much to eat and drink I just can't face it.

Pinky - sorry to hear that your tests didn't reassure you. Try and think of it that at least you are closer to fixing the problem - it is better to know than carry on being disappointed every month.

Yellow - I am so crossing my fingers that its your lucky month!

Jools - I think hormonal wobbles around approaching due dates would be fairly normal. Its so difficult to be happy for people yet at the same time manage your own feelings and expectations, and indeed, disappointment.

thanks ladies - I am hoping too. Not that optimistic though as feel like spotting will start any minute - in fact (waaaay tmi) I had a rummage earlier with a tampon (I know, very bad) and it did come out with a speck of bright red blood, but perhaps I as being a bit hard with the applicator!

wasabi - tonsillitis is awful. I used to get it all the time and then had them removed. Only thing for it other than antibiotics is loads and loads of sleep.

jools - EDD will be awful. Can you arrange something nice (weekend away, night out etc) for the weekend after so at least something to look forward to?

LOL - I always rummage - not with tools though

Sounds very painful Wasabi I hope the drugs kick in soon

just did boots early test. Bfn. At 12dpo would show wouldn't it? Right, where is spotting/af then?
