TTC Girl - February 2012

[maybeoneday]

hey, not getting too many symptoms! I've been freaking out the last day or so because the nausea I did have seems to have faded, as have the stretching pains.. Since having a MMC with my first pregnancy I become a nervous wreck, especially during the first trimester. I'm still worried that this baby isn't growing and my body just hasn't let me know about it yet. Praying I get offered a scan to reassure me, but there are no guarantees of that here as I haven't had any bleeding or pains!

RF, have you had your booking appointment with the midwife yet? I would lay it on really thick that you are very anxious after the MMC and have had some pains (even if that is not strictly true....) and then just ask for an early scan? I work on the basis that with the NHS, you generally have to ask for what you want then you stand a chance of getting it! You could also probably see your GP and explain the same thing and they could refer you for an early scan?

Its Definitely worth it to be a dream member!

Question: I am still spotting. So its been a little more than 24 hours, like 4 hours past 24 hours (28 hours). I have read up and it does say that it can last for a few hours up to 1-2 days. So I guess that is normal. Its not like I have to wear a pad or anything, just a liner and after the whole day there is only 1-2 little spots in it. There is nothing in the toilet when I pee, just when I wipe there is brownish blood on the tp. At first I was like, "wahoo implantation bleeding", but now I am like "thanks for the sign, you can go away now". Everything I looked up says its normal. It started 8dp. It is nothing close to an af. If it was an implantation gone wrong there would be A LOT of blood, like an af and there is not. Its not red, just brownish.
I guess I just want it to stop already. Thoughts.

I agree with the others - the cost of becoming a dream member is more than worth it. Atomic has whole menus of recipe ideas available, and if you have a question you want her to answer, she always answers the questions in the member section first. When I first came to this site, I had a look around for a couple of days, saw how amazing it was, and became a member immediately. I've had zero regrets.

HopeandDreamG - Thank you, I totally agree with you and think I will join for that reason alone. I stumbled across this site after reading everything on IG over a million times, but still coming away dissatisfied with what people were thinking was true. I have a science background and actually worked for several years in semen analysis and embryology, so hearing these people talk about "circle swimming sperm are X's" made me so crazy! I really appreciate the work atomic has done in her research in putting everything together. Everything about what is presented here just feels so right to follow. As an outsider, I can truly see what a caring little community this is!

P4P, I am one of the unlucky people who gets spotting from 8 or 9DPO every month and it stays until AF. I hope this is not the case at all for you. I just don't know enough about clomid to know if it can happen with that. The hormones in your body at this stage can cause similar symptoms, whether you are pg or not. Really praying you get a BFP in a few days.

A quick update on my cycle...last month I had my earliest ever O at 12DPO and this month I thought it wasn't going to happen with the lack of a +OPK, but my temps now confirm that I have had my latest ever O, at 18DPO. I have been feeling pretty down about swaying in general as it is so hard to figure out what the hell my body is doing. Next month we will be on holiday, so I am hoping to just enjoy the trip and see what happens. All the best for everyone waiting to test.

It really is a "caring community" as you say, and you won't be an outsider for long!

I get why you want it to stop. I would just go with it being implantation bleeding/spotting bc you have NO evidence that it is anything else.

Where you on clomid? maybe we should look up if implantation spotting is more common with clomid.

Hi Pink~ yes my doc gave me a script for a blood test because I did an injection trigger. If I took a preg test now it would be positive from the injection. So HPTs won't be accurate. I was told at 7days past it could be neg that the shot was out of my system, but at 8dpo ladies have gotten BFPs so I wouldn't really know if it was a false positive or a false negative (if the shot was out of my system but I was preggo just not enough for HPT)!!!
