Diclectin
So sorry Meeks, that's v annoying, I've been there before, a chemical just two wks before my DS2 was conceived and it felt so so bad. I had a miscarriage just before that and I was losing faith. Thoughts whether will i be able to have any more children crossed my mind. But here is he my lovely DS2, I adore him to bits!Quote:

Metamucil is safe to take. I stopped taking it though once I got my BFP. But if you find you need it then thats fine. You may need it with the iron supp.Quote:

What?? Ive only just read this... Hey, listen, my sister didnt find out she was preg until she was 9 weeks, however she had 2 periods in that time!!!! IT CAN HAPPEN!! I urge you to go to doc for a blood test!!!! to be sure. Im soooooo sorry this is happening. But it may just be a little bump in the road x x x let me know what happensQuote:

Thank you ladies. I am so grateful for your support and don't know what I'd do without it.
I have the niagra falls of periods today, there is no mistaking it! Thanks body. Not! Soaked a super tampon in 1hr!
This is my third chemical in 8 months of TTC. Just wish I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I hate the diet but I also REALLY believe in it. So I can't drop it but have relaxed it a bit. I'm going to have to add exercise back in for sanity. Will do some walking/jogging I think. My hormones go mad when I don't, and I get super cranky and aggressive. I figure walking must lower my t levels for me personally because it controls my t symptoms.
I am keeping my doc appointment Tuesday and will get all my levels checked to see what's going on.
It makes you really tired - however I was taking the maximum dose (some say that's only 4 but I had to take 8 to function) so you do get quite tired.. but I'd take that any day over constant sickness. Aside from that, nothing!Quote:

In my experience (through work) many girls that start to get investigations done, fall preg pretty quickly. There is alot to be said about relaxing a bit as its now in someone else's hands. Amazing what the power of the mind is capable of. Like you said, if walking/jogging is good for your stress levels, then thats the BEST thing for you.Quote:

Loosen up on it a bit, still sticking to the main elements of it. Atomic always says, the perfect sway doesnt guarentee your desired gender. There are many girls on here that did loose sways and still ended up with their desired gender. Like me, I was never going to get pregnant with the strict sway I was attempting every month. I was disappointed at this coz I wanted to know I tried my absolute best and then what ever the outcome was it was... But by loosening up on it a bit doesnt throw it all out the window. Do what you need to do this month to just stay in the game.
Thinking of you!!! x x
And we're not leaving you behind, we'll be following you all the way!!
Thanks salsa that's so true and I agree with everything you said.Quote:

The diet is my hardest bit too, and to be honest I am more disappointed to be swaying another month than trying. The diet, the opk's, the temping, urgh! I don't get stressed from it at the time but by the end of the month I can't wait for a bfp to not have to do it anymore!
Its hard when your closest friends dont offer the support you need. I guess thats the great thing about this site. We all know how very exhausting it is as we are all, or have just been going through the exact same thing.Quote:

You feel miserable with such a heavy period and it feels like yet another big mountain to climb. But take your soy again, focus on what you need to do on a daily basis, try not to think its a whole month away again before getting that BFP... just take one day at a time. Before you know it, it will be time for your attempt/s and then just over a week after that you can test.... I used to find if I broke it down a bit like that it seemed easier to get through each little phase of the month. We're all here for you. This baby is worth waiting for, trust me. :happy:
Big hugs that's just what i needed to hear. My friends (2) that know I'm swaying got so annoying telling me to stop and to gain weight that I told them I'd stopped. The one I was talking about didn't know I was swaying but also she conceived her two girls naturally and quickly (1st month) so she doesn't understand. Neither did I before TTC #3. I conceived my ds 1 and 2 so fast. One on the pill (oops) and the other first month off!Quote:

Maybe that :pinksperm: is just choosing her time perfectly, like most females we always like to be fashionably late lol... I know you prob arent having much alcohol, but maybe having a glass of wine might help things feel a bit easier! WIll help your body and mind relax.Quote:

Think about the things you are going to address with the doc. 3 chemicals in 8 months of trying. Mention how quickly the boys took to conceive. Then make sure you get blood taken to be sure this has been another chemical and your not infact still pregnant (it happens alot!) Even Atomic said its happened to her. This might be the green flag for your doc to start doing a few more investigations. However I wouldnt mention you're swaying. Docs tend to diagree with it and then they may not be inclined to help. Mention your short LP - even though this is lengthening with your soy. Im sure you know all these things to say!!
That's my plan.Quote:

Hmmmm interesting, it must be very frustrating no doubt! Let me know how the doc appoint goes on tues. Hopefully you get some answers. And soon it wil be time to attempt again x xQuote:

I sure hope so!!!! Can you go get a FRER? When is your dr appt that you were going to keep? Have your dr do a blood test. Are you still bleeding? Even if you are, I've been watching the show "I didn't know I was pregnant" and nearly all of them said they still got their period! My fingers and toes are crossed for you!Quote:

You can totally have a 'period' and still be pregnant. There is a thing called a Sub-chorionic haemorrhage, which is the cause for alot of first and second trimester bleeding. Its a collection of blood which will bleed mimicking a period. There are several different types of haemorrhages you can get within the uterus, quite common that will make you bleed throughout a pregnancy. Depending on the size of the haemorrhage, it will either be re absorbed into your system or bleed through the vagina. Most of the time it doesnt impact of the developing pregnancy.Quote:

Today temps skyrocketed. No idea what's going on.
I can't get a frer because our supermarket doesn't have ANY preg tests and our pharmacy is closed (Sunday)... Urgh small towns! But my tests are only faint pos and until I see them darken I'll remain skeptical.
I did a digi this morning at the same time as my cheap ones and it said not pregnant. This is maybe a sign. But then my temp is rising and my cheapies still have a second line. I don't know!
I've had no cramping at all. Doesn't FEEL like af.
See my salsa reply re bleeding, but thanks for this, makes me feel better even if its false hope!Quote:

Sometimes it just totally sucks being a girl! Our bodies are capable of amazing things, but on the other hand, they can be so unpredictable and leaves us asking so many questions. As you said, it can go both ways. Will see what the doc says tues. I know how frustrating it is. One moment you get excited. The next it feels like there is no hope. I still say its not a total loss. I believe there are too many factors here that say otherwise. I have fingers, toes, legs everything I can crossed for you that you get some positive news from all this. Have you asked Atomic what she thinks?Quote:

I'm six weeks tomorrow and so far so good - I have weird vertigo but minimal sickness (yet). I'm tired but micro rests help. My big girls are both at school now so that helps. I'm determined not to stack the weight on this time round, I put on loads with DD3 which did all come off but it took a while. Hopefully less sickness will help as I won't be constantly stuffing myself to keep my blood sugar stable. I miss running already and I had great ideas about gentle jogging in the first trimester but I feel too unsteady. I think I'll aim for getting out for a 30-40 minute walk 4-5 times a week and maybe a few swims. I just get so lethargic when I'm preggers.
Meeks, I know two people who had bleeding like you're describing. The first had a roller coaster of rising betas on blood test only for the pregnancy to fail after a week and the other had a stupidly low HCG on first test (like 16) only to have great rises and go on to have a normal pregnancy.
Hoping for the latter!
Thanks ladies, my preg test was negative today so it appears I did loose it, maybe it just took a while for the hcg to drop. My temps are still up but craving said hers took almost a week to drop then she o'd immediately. So we'll see.
I'll leave you here but good luck for all your pregnancies and pink dust to those who swayed pink, I have lots of blue dust for those who need it too!
Sorry Meeks. Hopefully next cycle.
oh meeks that's sh*te! so sorry for you hun, you've got three months to join this due date thread praying you'll come join us so soon xx
So sorry Meeks :(
Meeks, Am sorry for the rough ride you've had. Hang in there.:happy:Quote:

I have had some vivid dreams this time - it's a boy but there's problems...it's twins....I obviously have more anxiety with this baby.
So far I have turned into a food monster which was not the case with the other three pregnancies. Only put on between 12kg - 15kg with the girls who were all just under or just over 4kg. This time I have developed an intense fondness for big macs (seriously may have been 5 years since I had one previously) and meat, salty foods, pickles, mashed potato....previously it was chocolate with the girls but that does nothing for me at all now.
I have also had constant nausea for about 8 weeks now which I didn't have previously...all looks good on paper but there's several mums on here that will swear they had completely different pregnancies/cravings and same sexes so who knows.
Anyone on here have a strong gut feeling about if their sway is successful?
I have been sure 3 times now I was carrying a boy so I have learnt NOT to listen to my intuition. :sigh:
Sorry hun, We'll see you soon though. Good luck for the doc tomorrow x xQuote:

I can't believe how little morning sickness I have - so different to the others - but I'm trying not to over interpret every little thing. I hope we're both having boys though.
Ugh I am going to gain so much weight if I don't throw food away!!! So we had a Super Bowl party at our house last night and I ate SO MUCH food! I figured it would be ok to do for one day, the problem is we have a LOT OF FOOD left over, and if I allow it to stay in my house, then I will gain weight way too fast!!! I have left over Brownies, lots of candy, Spinach Artichoke dip, chili con queso dip, lots of chips, pistachios (yum I love) and much much more..... I need to invite more people over tonight just to eat my food!!!! I really want to keep my weight in check with this pregnancy because I gained so very much with my last pregnancy!
I'm salivating reading your post Thorz....

I feel I am having a girl......but I am afraid to totally rely on my gut feeling, I don't want to get my hopes up..... I hope you are right with yours!Quote:

I miss you Brutus! :tissue:

I give up!!!! I am not going to cook for my children anymore!!! I try my hardest to find food that they will like, and then I make them something that I think, "for sure they are just going to gobble this up!" But in reality they wont even touch it!!! I guess they can just live off of PB&J for the next 5+ years, it will be easier on all of us!!! Sorry I just had to vent!!!!
