Christmas Babies!! TTC Pink April

[laVieEnRose]

I have just had a call from hospital to say my my hormones levels from this am blood test show they are up again to same level as last week. A consultant is going to call me back. They kept asking if I'm feeling ok - which I am (or was until they ask!). I'm a bit confused now and a bit scared. What is going on? It's really torture - I'm not hopeful for a baby but am a bit anxious to know tht all is ok and won't need any intervention . Will update as soon as I know more

Hm that is strange. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Oops double post

laVieEnrose sorry that you are going through all of this I hope that you will have your answers soon

Lavie, maybe twins implanting at different times, and you only lost one? I hope you find out what's going on soon.

Steph, I so appreciate hearing about your experiences. For all you ladies, does excitement to meet bub help you power through the birth, especially as a FTM? I know for me personally, I tend to have more abstract fears, but when I'm actually in the moment of truth I deal just fine, usually.

I keep waiting for Lilith to post! 10DPO is the day most early testers will see a positive.

In other news, I didn't get a temp rise today - I got a temp DROP, ruining my so-far perfect chart pattern. I guess it must be the Vitex. Still having O pain though so maybe it's a stubborn eggy...ugh, desperate to have my post O chicken cheat!

My cat has been super snuggly. She is a love as is but was practically glued to me yesterday. Usually she splits her time between me, DF, and her chair, but for some reason she was all about me. Hormones, maybe?

LaVieEnRose I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through and I hope you do not have to wait long to see the consultant. Fingers crossed it will be positive news.

maiden - yes the excitement does help, also by the time you get to that point you are so over being PG, you want your body back and you dont care about pain you just want that baby out and in your arms! I used to see it as pain with a purpose, yes its not a picnic but the pain is brining your baby to you. In fact one of the affirmation is something along the lines of with every contraction, it brings your baby closer to you, or something like that.

Wish I had good news to report. Sigh. BFN this morning. Yesterday's had to have been an evap line. I'm all crampy and waiting for AF now. Ugh, guess I'll be joining the TTC in June ladies

"Pain with a purpose"

I would say that's exactly it. I would say my second labor was more painful and intense than my first because it was so much faster, 3 hours instead of 6. And I had those definite waves of contractions the second time, the first one was mostly back labor and felt all over the place.

The sensation is like throwing up but throwing down, if that makes sense. Everything in your body is saying out, out, OUT, so that's really your main focus and like throwing up, it is a huge uncomfortable relief once the baby is coming out, I had all these plans about going slower once I started pushing but that went out the window, I honestly didn't even care if I tore as long as the baby was OUT, lol.

Sorry to hear Lilith

LaVieEnRose-- so sorry that you still don't have any clear answers. I still have hope for you though!

Lilith-- sorry about the BFN, that sucks. Was it with first morning urine? I know that some women get better results with second or later urine.
