Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey all, I'm still here too. I've had some promising signs and at the same time, TRYING not to over-a___lyze. It's SO hard! Anyhoo, I have a few tests at home and I was going to wait until Sunday to test but I MIGHT try tomorrow morning. Andesue - any updates since your BFP? Lexy

Hey all, not too much to report so far. First appointment isn't until nov 29th. I have felt pretty good so far, some heartburn, tiredness, cravings and hunger but nothing too major. Today I did get a 2 hour nap in! It was amazing!! My 15 month old dd took a good nap and I did too! :) I hope everyone is doing well and hope to see sone bfp's real soon!!! Good luck!

hi all - I'm 7 DPO today, loads of CM this morning and quite bad twinges. I'll say they're very similar to ovulation pain, a bit like a very localised stabbing pain, but definitely not what I'd describe as 'cramping'. Babydreams - did AF arrive? I hope not! Good luck to all! Has anyone else ever had this pain? I wondered if it MAY be implantation pain? I read elsewhere on this forum that some people have experienced it. Obviously I'm trying NOT to get my hopes up, but I don't recall having these twinges on 7 DPO before....

Congrats andesue!!! I'm so happy for you! Good luck, and sticky bean dust to you! TTC, good luck. Yes, it can be implantation pain, but I wouldn't read too deeply into it, I have twinges every month. I have had that pain, and for me it was like a sharp vibrating pain that doesn't last very long. I also had implantation bleeding for 3 days, then a 4 day break, then I spotted for another WEEK!!!! I thought I was starting my period because i spotted and spotted and spotted, but I never bled heavy. Lo and behold I was pregnant. Sadly, I miscarried October 11. I just got done with my first AF after the initial M/C bleeding. It was a really hard time for me, since DH and I have been trying since November of last year. At least now I know I can get pregnant. So far, i'm on cd10, and starting to gear up for bd'ing. CM is getting creamy. Hoping for a special baby to pick me again. -hug- baby dust to all and good luck!

well, I'm back in the 2ww... not charting so heavily now, just trying to relax and let it happen. Though I have been using OPK. AF started Nov 15. We bd'd on cd 12, 13, and 15... opk turned positive on cd 13. Today there was light pink on the toilet paper. what could that be? late ovulation? ovulation bleeding? I read that sometimes that happens. It was abrupt and I don't remember spotting so soon after opk turns pos. I have my fingers crossed!!

hi everyone! Been a bit quiet on this forum recently from us all! I've taken a break from BD'ing for tactical reasons... T'is the season to be merry and having morning sickness doesn't appeal when all my friends and family will be getting drunk around me! So we're delaying until 2nd Jan, then back on it. Doctor has been doing some tests on me, as it's been about 8 months TTC with no pregnancy. I know it's quite normal to take up to a year, but I was getting impatient. She noticed a few cysts on my ovaries and is thinking of putting me on Metmorphin (AKA Glucophage) and possibly starting me on Clomid next year. Have any of you ladies been on the above drugs yet? Pikapuka - any luck?

Well, sadly I will be back soon. :( when we went for our first dr appointment at 9 weeks we found no heartbeat on the ultrasound. :( apparently it had stopped beating the day before or that day as the baby measured exactly where it should. I had a d&c Friday and the bleeding has stopped. Going to take a preg test in the am to see if the hormones are out of my system yet. I can't say I'm over it but I am ok and we are looking forward to trying again right away. We were given the green light by the dr. He is so awesome, I am so glad to have an awesome ob!! Well, I hope all of you are well! See you again soon after I ov for the first time!

Andesue, I'm so sorry :-( Do they do any tests to see what went wrong, ie was it just a chromosomal abnormality? I know from experience it's so hard to have a m/c, but I guess it happens for a reason. I know this may sound harsh to people who have disabled kids, but I'd rather have a miscarriage than a poorly child... Better luck next time x x x

Hey all! Haven't checked the site for a while- sorry to hear about the m/cs; that's such a shame. Hope you can at least take some comfort from having gotten pregnant in the first place? And hopefully more good news soon. We're still trying but I'm just not Oing since I had my son 18mos ago so altho we're technically trying, there hasn't been a single 'real' opportunity in that time. TTC- I was on 50mg clomid last month but it wasn't enough to make me O. They'll up my dosage twice more & then if it doesn't work they reckon I'm looking at IUI or IVF. Ugh... Hope someone gets some good news soon to cheer us all on x

Andesue- if it's at all encouraging for you- two friends of mine recently m/c'd & both fell pregnant again immediately (didn't even have a period in between). Both those pregnancies are now going great & have pa__sed the 12wk stage xx

Ok so i am in the 2WW my cycle is normally 35 days.... this morning i tood a test and it was negative :( i think i ovulated on December 10th. Here is how i am feeling sorry if TMI but i really feel like this is making me nuts this is our 6 month TTC... December 17th when checking my CP i had the smallest bit of blood in my CM same goes for the 18th but never a spot on my underwear. i also had cramping on the 18th 19th and 20th but very mild and only lasted about 10 minutes. But my back is hurting pretty bad and today i felt like i had a slight tug behind my belly b___ton ( could just be in my head) I do not have sore bbs and that worrys me. Does anyone think i could still be pregnant? jsut want to feel a little better

oh and this morning i woke up at 430am with sore throat and runny nose but feel better as the day has went on.

amg- doesn't look promising for pg on this end. Stress and anticipation did a lot of that too me when I was trying so hard. It is one of the hardest things to do, but relax and let it happen, and it will when it is supposed to. But, I do have my fingers crossed for you, let us know the results!!! ^_^ Looby loo- good luck!! are you still b___stfeeding your son? perhaps that's helping your body keep from Oing. TTC- have patience! I didn't have any patience either, M/C, then took another couple of months to get it together again. It will happen when it should. Relax, enjoy your time with DH, and I wish you tons of luck Andesue- I completely understand. I had gone in for my first US at 7 weeks, couldn't see much, rescheduled appointment for the following week to see if we could see anything, 4 days later cramping and M/C. I still am sad about that, but ttc is right... we'd rather have a healthy baby than someone who is not. Perhaps it's nature's way of protecting us from hardship we are not prepared for... and I believe that experience will help me to appreciate and treasure any subsequent pregnancy that much more. Now, about me. the last cycle i posted was no luck. this cycle, however, I got my bfp on Sunday night. Have had sore bbs since last monday, extremely painfully tender nips, and a very unlike me craving for spicy foods. (i don't like spicy food) tsing tsing chicken, buffalo wings, spicy chicken sandwiches, cayenne pepper in my ramen, chili powder in other stuff, and it's still not enough!! going to wait this time to tell anyone else about the bfp, probably until i'm either 20 weeks or showing, as I don't want to have to go through the m/c thing again and have to tell everyone all over. DH and I are loving this one just as much as we loved the last one, but are keeping our hopes relatively low and subdued. maybe the lack of overexcitement will help this little bean stick!! Good luck everyone, and gods bless :*

PIKA - a ma__sive congrats! I saw the email come in just now so had to log in and say woohoooooo to you! Fingers crossed for you! How many months have you been TTC now? Did you do anything differently this cycle? AF came yesterday for me. I have one more 'normal' cycle to go before the Doc is putting me on a low dose of clomid!

ttc- thank you tons! in total, dh and I have been trying for 13 months. I am guessing i'm 6 weeks today, but will wait another week before I schedule an appointment with the OB Doc to find out how far along I am. what did I do different... I stopped worrying so much about getting pregnant. It helped that i knew i could, but my worry now is being able to carry to term. I didn't chart my temps, didn't chart anything except for using OPK to detect the LH surge. bd'd every day until 2 days after opk turned negative. I did pay attention to when my ovulation would be coming up and we bd'd for a day or two before opk turned positive this time, too, but I didn't obsess over it. We got lucky that it was an average length cycle this time, as my cycles have tended to be very irregular. It helped that a lady friend I have has very strong, very regular cycles, and being around her almost continuously helped pull my cycle in close to hers. we'd bleed at the same time, we'd O at the same time. How long have you been ttc, now? It's really hard to do, but my best advice is to relax and stop worrying and obsessing, if you are. Long, hot, relaxing bubble baths and slow relaxing showers did wonders for my stress level. I would just lock the bathroom door, tell dh i'm relaxing, and soak in the candlelit bubble bath or shower. focusing on how good it all feels helped me to relax. I think all those contributing factors helped me this time. Good luck, dear, I hope this cycle you have coming up is the one!! I hope you don't need the drug to get your little bean started. -baby dust-

I'm now 7 DPO, I think I've been TTC for 10 months now. This is the last cycle before Clomid. I'm pinning all my hopes on Clomid so don't want to get disappointed if it doesn't work. Anyone else in the 2WW?
