As for me, for 9 days already I was desperately waiting for each morning to see the progression of my test line. I was getting excited with each day, took pictures several times to post, but on the photos the line was looking much lighter and discouraging, so I was waiting. Anyway, it's not getting any darker (it's lighter than control line), but I'm using cheapies, so I decided that's it. I do have symptoms, like being out of breath, swollen and aching breasts, feeling nauseous from time to time, etc.
I'm in search for doctors and hospital now, since I got disappointed in the previous ones.
As for my sway, well, it got much lighter in the past few months, I never counted anything, skipped breakfast, but still had mostly 3 meals, at first I lost more than 20 pounds, then put on a 5-6 pounds, had 2 cups of coffee without anything else the last 3-4 months (I never had coffee before), used a little bit of alcohol past two months, I BD cd7, cd9, cd11, cd13, cd15, since I was going to do e4d +1, but somehow I messed up both with opks and BDs, usually I had +opk on cd11-cd12. I got first faint line on cheapie on cd23. So I suppose (and hope) that the last two BDs doesn't count, so I kind of had two real attempts. It's been 7 months of ttc, 8 cycles+1 with DH out, one chemical, 5th cycle on Femara (I thought I didn't need it ;)).

Wow, exciting sunstars! Seems like we are sitting pretty much in one boat! I should be 5 weeks exactly today and my cheapie tests are quite dark but haven't been getting darker for the last couple of days either. My symptoms come and go. When will you get your first u/s? I'll have one today and am praying my OB sees anything in the right place. Good luck for you too! 🤞🏻[emoji4]

I tested everyday... Sometimes the line is a bit darker, sometimes lighter. It doesn't really make sence. I really hope it's at the maximum darkness... I guess I'll know in an hour. Did you test again?

Probs tests olaying games - games we all just hate!
No just that second time the other day. Scared everytime i go to the loo though.
You guys are so lucky so find out out where u stand so early on in the journey. I just have to wait, wait and wait some more! All being well will hand in my midwife form next week (nearer to 6 weeks) then probably get a appointment to book in at 8-10 weeks, so wont know much for a long time!
Im having crazy hot flushes at night, not experienced these before

Good luck with ultrasound, verena!
Yeah, our stories past couple of months are quite similar, hope we both will get similar happy ending :)

Thinking of you a lot, abc, hope your ultrasound will be fine as well, hugs.

Thank you sunstars!! Your sway sounds like it's still been pretty good! I hope you can find a doctor soon and that you're able to get in to see him/her quickly!!! The waiting part is so hard! :(

Thank you so much ladies! I'm completely overwhelmed! We did not only see a sac, but also some "fetal structures", my OB said it's the yolk sac. That's by far more than we saw with DS1 and 2 at the same time. I'm so relieved, I can't believe what just happened! I'll throw my hpt's in the waste bin now! [emoji2]

Verena, hoping for nerves to be calmed!! And answers to be found.
Emshe, that was a strong positive! And I have a short surge so it wasn’t a surprise that another one didn’t pick it up. I’d go by that dip stick positive if it were me.
We did the SMEP this month and I started progesterone suppositories around 4dpo. I think that was our trick. Even if it wasn’t the strongest sway for girl. Either way, praying this one keeps on sticking. Here is SMU test from today

Oh Verena YAY!!!!!! That's so amazing!!!! Wow that's a lot seen for 5 weeks!! I'm glad you are happy and relieved - grow little bean, grow!!! SO happy for you!!!

Well my ultrasound was not nearly as exciting as Verena but I did get good news - no fibroids, polyps or scar tissue. Uterus looks very normal ("gorgeous" in the doctor's words). So, we're now just waiting for DH's chromosome results. If that is normal, the RE says it was probably bad luck 3 times in a row. Crazy. Of course it puts a little bit of fear/guilt back into me that maybe swaying is the reason for all of this. Probably not and I'm trying not to think that, but it's just weird.

I do have a very big follicle/cyst on my right ovary that she said is probably left over from the miscarriage (like an egg that tried to ovulate that cycle I got pregnant but didn't I guess?). She said it should resolve on it's own but she wants to recheck it after my next period starts to make sure it's gone. Bleh. But she said it's pretty common for that to happen.

Hannah looks good!! I may have asked you this already and if so I'm sorry but have you made an appointment or will you get any betas done? Praying this is your sticky bean!!!!

Congrats sunstars [emoji322]Hannah that's looking great, hope it keeps on getting darker for you [emoji106]
Amazing news about your scan verena, wow! You must be so relieved. Yeah definitely throw them tests away now and enjoy it.
ABC that sounds really positive! It's frustrating to think it's bad luck but also reassuring that hopefully your sticky baby will be here soon as there are no problems. Fingers crossed your other half's chromosome tests come back ok too. How are you feeling in yourself?
Eighme, sorry AF came [emoji17]
Well I'm really cross with DH who has just decided to pull out at the vital moment. He hasn't been completely on board with ttc and obviously had a change of heart. I'm hoping yesterday's bd will be enough [emoji17]

Sorry eighme :(

Mummy - thanks! I feel OK - relieved, as this morning I was pretty stressed out about the ultrasound. Glad we're only waiting for DH's results now. Wondering if we might go ahead and try next cycle - I just don't know. Ugh that must have been frustrating with DH!!! I may have missed this, but did you get a +OPK today?
April 9th, 2018, 06:29 PM
mummy2boys

Yeah it's hard to know what to do for the best isn't it. I really wanted to try straight away but at the back of my mind I'm worried I've not given my body enough time to recover. Just take it a day at a time I reckon and see how you feel when you get nearer to ovulation time.
I got a positive opk yesterday and it's negative again today, I must have a really fast surge. So I'm hoping I ovulated today and my temp will rise tomorrow 🤞🤞

Thanks Mommy :) I'm overwhelmed again tonight - I just don't know how much more I can handle. I want a baby girl so dang bad but the physical, mental and emotional drain is really adding up. I told DH at dinner tonight I'm just so exhausted. We'll see I guess.

Of course you are exhausted momma. It’s completely normal, like pbn says if you feel you need more time, then take all the time you need. Heck I took a year off from ttc to fix myself emotionally and physically. [emoji175]

Thanks Pbn. The thing is if we do try next cycle I would want Clomid (RE confirmed again today that she will prescribe it for me whenever I'm ready), so I'll have to decide within the next couple of weeks if we're going to go for it. DH has been jogging a lot, avoiding red meat, taking OLE and we'd have 1 attempt and Clomid so there'd still be a lot of "pink" factors (plus all my wine and decaf coffee LOL). I don't know. Again - as I just wrote to M2A - it's just all so overwhelming. And I still gotta decide about the baby aspirin. I'm planning on calling my obgyn after we hear about DH's results to see his thoughts on all this.

Yea I do feel like I need to get a grip on my anxiety issues. I was so freaked out those few weeks I was pregnant (when i was thinking things were ok). I can't sustain that level of fear and anxiety over 9 months.

No, it will always be hard even once you’ve conceived your healthy baby, but I believe if I would’ve went into conceive again before I was ready, it would’ve been so much worse. Believe me I had my freak out moments before I could feel her move really well, was constantly listening to her heart beat many times a day, before I could feel her move. Then if she isn’t moving as much as I think she should, I pray about it for her to move even more. I have this mentality that isn’t realistic, that she should move the whole time I’m awake. My anxiety isn’t as high as it was when I first got pregnant with her.

Going through pregnancy loss really takes away the innocence of pregnancy, yea? I mean I had paranoid/freak out moments with my boys but pregnancy was not so freaking terrifying then as it is now!!! It's like everything changes once you've had that feeling of losing a baby.

Yes it’s truly does, before it happens to you, it’s like that won’t happen to me. Once it does it’s always in the back of your mind. I told my husband the other day. I’m to old for pregnancy and I need it to hurry up and be the end of June, as there’s always a worry, and I just need her in my arms. All I can do right now is just pray and trust and feel that it is going to be just fine.
