Hellobee Boards

Tomorrow's the day for me...I was feeling hopeful, sore boobs and pretty emotional the last week - but tonight I've been feeling crampy and period-y. I keep going to the bathroom to check - nothing so far and I don't have a pregnancy test - plus I promised myself I wouldn't test til I was late (hence no tests in the house). Congrats to all you ladies! Looks like a good month!

@ScarletBegonia: I hope you get a bfp.

@bhbee: I know what you mean. I'm planning on holding off testing until AF is due. I like having hope. . As I can't recall ever being late except following my May loss - I should know by early morning whether to test or AF is coming. Felt some stronger cramps today so I'm still feeling hopeful.

Here's my update....no AF I was suppose to get her on Saturday, a whole bunch of bfn.... not sure of what to do... this was my second cycle after my loss and now I'm on cd45..... I used to be 29 days like clockwork

While I'm waiting to be told bad news (but hoping to be surprised with good) I've been distracting myself by diagramming out all of the ways to fit a pregnancy into my grad school program.

The absolute latest I could get away with (without ridiculously lengthening my program) would be a November 2018 due date; in or before July 2018 would be best.

A November 2018 due date would also be the about the latest possible that would allow LO and hypothetical #2 to attend the same childcare. The daycares/preschools that also do before and after-school care don't take babies younger than 18mos. If #2 isn't at least 18mos by the time LO starts kinder, we will have to do 2 different daycare dropoffs/pickups - yuck!

@lilyofthewest: Ugh, same. Its stressful!

To your other post - I hope you hear good news! I'm doing the same thing with diagramming out TTC. This is probably the last month we'll be able to try for awhile. Sucks when life gets in the way!

@lilyofthewest: hugs when will you hear the result?

Oh man my 2yo just told his sister he's a big brother. He said this in response to me telling him he had 20 teeth now but still wouldn't it be fun if it were true??

@lilyofthewest: I'm sorry you have to wait!

And now I'm sick... three cycles in a row with either DH or me sick during the FW. Still made it happen though!

@lilyofthewest: I'm sorry

@ScarletBegonia: have you tested?

@skinnycow: Sorry you're not feeling well! Way to make it happen anyway, though! Good luck!

@lilyofthewest: Ugh, I'm so, so sorry to hear this. Will you still redraw betas tomorrow? Hugs. Be kind to yourself this week.

Thanks all.

Yeah, I'll still go get the draw tomorrow. I didn't get any medical follow-up of my natural loss in April, and I feel like it made people take me less seriously when I was concerned in June (2nd loss), or with this pregnancy.

I talked with the doc yesterday about whether it made sense to do repeat loss testing.

Right now, I'm leaning toward "no" given that it looks like there were different underlying issues for each rather than a pattern of the same kinds of losses. I've also had genetic testing done commercially and can already rule out a lot of things that are looked at in those tests.

I am looking at supplementing progesterone after O on the next cycle since that could've been the culprit with this one (I have a short luteal phase generally, plus my temps tanked and I had light to moderate bleeding before I ever got a positive test).

So I tested a few days ago BFN. Then AF showed up a couple days later.

I had a chemical last month and *TMI* my flow this month has been way different than usual. Super heavy flow and miserable cramps the first day and very light/spotting the last few days. Is this normal following a CP? It's never like this and I'm worried I may have miscarried again? I weaned DD (2yrs old) completely (she was only nursing for a few minutes at night) in June so IDK if that increases the chance of miscarriages or chemical pregnancies until my hormones get back to normal?

Congrats to all the BFP so far!!

@lilyofthewest: I'm so sorry. I hope the progesterone does the trick. Hugs while you are waiting to move on

@HeartAbandoned: No, trying to hold strong til tomorrow, which will be 3 days late. I'm at 2+ days late now and not sure how i feel...i know this is super TMI but I keep feeling like my period has started (if you know what I mean) and then I go to the bathroom and its just discharge. That combined with crampiness on and off the last few days is just confusing the hell out of me. If nothing by tomorrow morning I'll definitely test with FMU.

@ScarletBegonia: You have much better self control than me - I'm impressed you haven't tested if you're 3 days late. Good luck!

Fingers crossed.
