Question: Hi all
I have been lurking here while I have been going through the waiting to see if Im pg or what is wrong with me. I read posts and questions but then that person always seems to disappear no answer to what happened.
My last af was Feb 24, I got a bfp on hpt and thought all was well, was in the process of changing drs so had to wait till Apr 8 for my visit. Meanwhile, my hpts never got darker but still faint to medium lines. She did a bt Apr 8 negative! Her office test was also neg. I went back Apr 24 after getting a nice line not extremely dark but def there and took a urine test and it's neg again. I did a bt and still waiting but have this nagging feeling its neg again. They wont do an u/s until I show a positive test even though I showed them a couple of mine they cant use that.
Symptoms: my low low abdomen to my belly is huge, twinges here and there, boobs (my bra doesnt fit anymore) dark veins and they hurt sometimes killing me sometimes just hurt a bit. Exhaustion, I have a 4 year old and sometimes am talking to him and litterally start falling asleep while talking if laying down with him. All symptoms I have had before. I had some spotting but just that spotting I was on prometrium and went off that thinking I wasnt pg and the spotting also stopped. The nurse said it can cause spotting. I thought for sure when I went off I would start bleeding but not even spotting now.
anyone wanna wait with me and stay in touch Im so alone and frustrated
?

Answer: My name is Elizabeth and I am 27. Been TTC for 4 months hard and 4 months not so hard so a total of 8 months. I am kinda in the same boat. I have very irregular periods anywhere from 24-33 days. So the 4th will make it 36 days for me. 3 days past my longest cycle in the last 8 months. Taken tons and tons of HPTs and they are all neg so I am praying I am one of those ladies who gets thier + late! Did you use the same test everytime or did you switch around brands?? I know I have read some posts on here where they get a BFP and then a BFN because they had a early mc or a chemical preg. Was the test you got your BFP a early HPT? If so maybe your body rejected it?? But on the other side I have seen tons of women get that first BFP and then neg BT and HPTS for weeks before getting it confiremed at doc!! When was your LMP? I had a spot of red and the old blood color around the 20th of April. I have had cramps but mostly just irritating ones like aches. I am seriously gassy after I eat no matter what it is. I cant sleep. LOL WOnder why?? I get so hot at night that i have my air down very very low. My 5yr old started calling me the ice queen!! hehe My legs have been cramping as well. So I would love to wait with you! Lets hope we both get what we want to hear and soon! LOL I am kinda just wanting AF to show so I can start a new month but of course I am getting no AF and BFN!! Your not alone anymore and dont be frustrated!! That just makes everything so much worse! I can be a funny girl so I will try to keep your spirits up!! =
Answer: BTW I agree with you on the no one every posting what happened!! Seems like alot of people just pop in a room, ask questions and leave. Also sometimes even when you have been in a room for awhile people wont answer your questions. I think sometimes when people are TTC they tend to focus on themselves and other people not so much!! ALso what is prometrium for??? I am really trying to do this natrual and not use anything but I want a baby so bad I might cave if it doesnt happen soon! Its so hard TTC. When I got preggo with my son it wasnt planned and we have tried so hard the last 5 years not too I didnt think it would be this hard! =
Answer: Hi ladies, I am new to this site, I made my first post a few days ago. I know what ya sayin about lack of responses. I will keep you ladies company! I am about 3 weeks off of seasonale and still no AF! I wish she would hurry so I can get started! I had 2 m/c in 2007(1 in may/ on in dec) I was only on 1 pack of seasonale (3mths) to tryto give my body time to heal. I have a 5yr old son and 3 yr old daughter. Sibling4aiden-I know this is horrible! But when I was pregnant prevousily and my doc wouldn't give me an u/s I went to the ER and said I had a positive hpt and now have cramping and they do a full work up on you! Blood test, vaginal/belly u/s, cervix check etc! Sometimes you just can't wait!!!! treybugs- Hang in there! I don't really know why but when reading your story I got the feeling it is just around the corner for you! Good luck ladies!!! Stickey baby dust all around!! Please keep posting =
Answer: Wow I finally have company, although Im sorry you are all going through the unknown. It sucks!
Update: My boobs stopped hurting a few days ago, and yesterday I noticed my abdomen was softening up. My hpts were barely there anymore.. I felt last night like I could FEEL my lining sluffing sp? off and sure enough started spotting last night and af this AM. Normal color medium flow. I THINK what happened is I did have a chemical and taking the prometrium for awhile while waiting for my drs appt until April 8th (new ob) I kept the corpus luteum in tact and my body thought it was still pg hense only the spotting. I think the first set of spotting that was like 3 days late for me in March WAS me expelling what pg I had. I feel sooo much better starting from scratch!
I will be lurking and hoping you all get your bfps!
ty so much for replying I felt like I was talking to noone lol.

Answer: oh and prometrium is progesterone I was taking it vaginally. It helps sustain a pg if your body doesnt produce enough, it can cause you to m/c your baby cuz your body just sheds your lining including your baby. I thought since I had a m/c Jan 2008 and so many girls and drs use it as preventative I would try it. I think it only screwed me up though, my body is very sensitive. I am taking baby aspirin, prenates, DHA and TONS folic acid per my prior ob to help prevent another m/c. I think this last time was just too soon for my body after my m/c it was only one cycle and really I wasnt ttc just not preventing
gl girls will bbl to post while lurking. :) =
Answer: sibling- I gave my body three months of rest after m/c and I hope it helped. Do you take the baby asprin thru out your whole cycle? What about the prometrium? Do you do that the whole cycle? If not- when do you start? I never used anything extra before...but since the 2 m/c's back to back I am terrifed and I just want to boost the chances of a healthy pg! ...so where are you at now? did you start your new cycle days? =
Answer: Im cd1 today. I take babyaspirin through the whole cycle. If you google it with ttc you will find a lot of women do it. I finally started doing it when inconsistantly after my June m/c when ob said to start it. Now since I only started it on cd 20 with my last pg I do it all the time like Im supposed to so if I fall pg again I dont have to worry it's in my system already.
Prometrium is a prescribed progesterone and if your insurance doesnt cover it IT'S EXPENSIVE! You have to chart and know when you o'd and you start on dpo 2 or 3 once you know for sure you've o'd.
I would talk to your ob about both of these, I dont want to feel like I am suggesting these things, as e1 is different.
