new thread.

for those who are having problems getting pg

or staying pg

or are simply fed up of being told to relax and having to smile and say "you never know"

gosh lissie can you hold off testing till tomorrow?

i have got to the point of being absolutely petrified of being pg but still blindly trynig. not that it is remotely likely to happen.

OracleInaCoracle · 08/06/2009 09:21

fishie, am totally with you on that. i dread getting a bfp, but cant bear the thought of it not happening. the impatience i felt when we were first ttc has changed now into real fear.

period isnt due til next sun/mon but this is first month on clomid so sure that i ov'd on CD13 im normally so good about testing early, but this month i just cant wait.

fishie · 08/06/2009 09:23

i'm all for testing. that sick uncertain feeling is my most hated.

mind you i have only had opportunity to test twice in three years (regular as clockwork)

OracleInaCoracle · 08/06/2009 09:28

im normally an advocate for waiting, but ive got so many symptoms..

OP posts:
fishie · 08/06/2009 09:33

OracleInaCoracle · 08/06/2009 09:36

Lissie - symptoms-smymptoms, no early testing girl......!!!!!

I have my scan tomorrow, I tested today, and test is slightly lighter, but still unfortunately glaringly bfp, I hate this. All the other loses have been at 5 weeks or so, and I have had negative tests within a day of starting bleeding, I hate this inbetween time. I can't ttc again until my levels drop and have stopped bleeding, but also still feeling horribly pregnant and emotions all over the place, sorry I have got into ranting mood now. It is funny how the stages of grief have to come in their own time. I have been in denial until today. But now I am starting to get angry. . So what is the next stage, guilt then acceptance, what have I missed out.....?

WorzselMummage · 09/06/2009 11:01

Any news Lissie ?

Annie, how are you ?

rainbowdays · 09/06/2009 15:42

So before I go off on a rant - have you got a test done yet lissie?!

As for me, ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG. I am still in fecking limbo land with no real knowledge of what is going on. I had a scan today, done by a useless doctor as the sonographer was unavailable, she supposedly measured the sac at 5w2d, last week it was 6w1d, so helpfully suggests I "probrably" will miscarry soon, SO, no I have not yet miscarried dispite all the cramps and bright red bleeding. NOW they are thinking I might also have an ectopic going on, so blood tests today and more in 48hours. FECK IT, why could the proper sonographer have given me 3 minutes of her time. ARGGGGGGG.

Please forgive the language slips, as those who know me here know, I am normally very polite.

DarrellRivers · 09/06/2009 17:57

Rainbows that sounds crap
When are you having your next bloods ?Thursday
I suppose that will tell you a bit more
Lissie any news?

OracleInaCoracle · 09/06/2009 21:22

oh rainbows, how utterly frustrating and crap! it sounds like they havent a clue. when are you having next scan?

not tested yet, bought some today so will prob test on thurs. still early but not obscenely so.

OP posts:
rainbowdays · 09/06/2009 23:06

Lissie - no early testing!

I don't have a date for another scan at that hospital, they are just looking at the blood test levels first, . But I will seriously consider attending a different hospital to get a decent scan. This not knowing is messing up my normally calm looking exterior, and making me look like the crazy that I am inside. Think I need to change my name here too rainbowdays sounds so pleasant and not how I am currently feeling.... any suggestions!!!!

chubbymummy · 09/06/2009 23:23

Hi ladies. Can i join this thread please?

I have one ds(4)concieved 2nd month of trying and have been ttc number 2 for 20 months, had a mmc in October and despite getting back on the baby making wagon straight away nothing is happening. Doctors are not helpfull at all and told me that they wouldn't do any investigations until I had 3 miscarriages in a row and even then they wouldn't do much since I have a ds and have managed to concieve since.
I'm sick of people asking when we are going to have another child and friends who know we are ttc ask me on a weekly basis if there is "any news yet?". I've asked them politely to stop asking me but they can't help themselves and even though I've now told them that we've decided to stop trying (we haven't) they still ask me the same bloody question! Aaaagh!!!!!!
Better go now though as I'm ovulating and don't want to miss the window, Jesus I really don't feel in the mood but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 08:54

rainbow, i agree a different hospital may be wise.

chubby, welcome to hut sorry (and i mean this in the nicest possible way) that you are here. the questions is a toughie isnt it. i tend to be quite blunt (and graphic) now.

im so naughty, i tested this morning. got a bfp so faint that i keep thinking i imagined it, but within time scale. however, not treating it as a bfp. it really is too faint. so retesting on sunday.

DarrellRivers · 10/06/2009 09:26

Welcome chubby
Gosh lissie
A faint line, that's good news
Thinking lots of sticky thoughts for you

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 09:33

thanks, its not really a bfp (or a bfn come to that) more like a bf WTF???

OP posts:
PistachioLemon · 10/06/2009 09:41

Lissie, sorry to gatecrash your thread, I just stumbled upon it, and am not stalking you, honest - anyhow just wanted to say good luck for Sunday testing, and I hope it's a sticky sticky one. Won't tell anyone on the step away thread, I don't want to encourage PME to bankrupt herself more than she is already!

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 11:11
