Too early to test - but Maybe....
Hi everyone,
Had my third miscarriage last 26th Feb (assisted by misoprostol). Saw my obe 11 days later and she did u/s to see all was ok (I had UTI, which was treated). All was ok on the uterus side, and and even better, there were 2 x 12 mm follicles (1 on the left and 1 on the right). Anyway, my partner arrived in town the next day for a week.... I am presuming I ovulated on about D14. It is now D22.
I have been having nausea for the last 5 days, headaches, low back pain, urinary frequency last 3 days, boobs feel bigger, hyperacidity, oily smells annoy me...
I am almost certain I have conceived. These are pretty major symptoms for IPS (imaginary pregnancy symptoms), and they're getting worse.
I saw my accupuncturist this morning, and he is tending to support this conclusion. Of course having conceived doesn't mean it will be a sticky one (particularly after 3 consecutive m/cs). Anyway, I am hoping and praying that this will be the one. Have been taking baby aspirin 1x a day since I completed all the clotting disorder testing (no results back yet - maybe monday) 10 days ago, just in case....
I tested today, but its too early of course and it's BFN. Got about 3 $ HPTs on hand, so I can test everyday from now until period is due and see what's up!
Will keep everyone updated.....

hi all
i'm 9 days post FET (Frozen Emryo Transfer) and i'm stressed to bits. previous FET yielded BFN. i should only test on 4 April, and this time i'll try my best not to test early, but my head is wrecked. sore back, head, abdominal area, but not sure if this means anything positive or negative.

Yes, it is remarkable!
13 weeks is very early for movement. But it is clearly able to be felt by others from the outside by now (as reported by my other sister). This is her 5th pregnancy (3 kids so far). She says maybe it's partly because her stomach muscles are weak. but not just. She can feel movement in two distinct places - one at the top and one at the bottom. And to think the babies are only about 10 cm long at the moment! She said she felt the first flutters around 9 weeks. She is sure of her dates, but really she is big for her current stage.
I sadly am not pregnant as I now have my P. I think I was (got 1 test with a faint line), but then negative for repeat test the next day. So likely early loss. But I am ok (at least the waiting game is over for now) and will be trying 'naturally' this cycle and if that doesn't work, IUI with fertility meds in May. And I will keep trying. :) Who knows with the fertility meds I have a good chance of twins too! :)

Heather, surely I'm aware...I've had 2 pregnancies myself : ) 13 weeks to feel movement is quite soon, my post wasn't meant to sound doubting...simply said that's remarkable, and it is!
As you know Pamela, when a woman has previously had a child, she may often feel movement earlier. Especially with double the set of arms and legs moving around in there.
I hope Sally's sister will share her first u/s pictures at 20 weeks (with her permission of course) with all of us. I can never get enough of u/s pictures. Especially the miracle of more than one baby.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for you, Sally. Hoping that the two follicules they saw on your u/s, were actually fertilized and you too, will be carrying twins. Twin sisters each having twins. Now wouldn't that be awesome? SSBD to you, Sally - my dear, dear, friend.

Wow, your twin can feel movement at 13 weeks? And 2 babies to boot? Without an u/s?
That's remarkable!!

Day 30 and still BFN, and AF hasn't shown up either. SO I am still waiting and obsessing and obsessing and waiting.
Could have taken myself out for a really great dinner with all the money spent on HPTs.
Oh well..... something is going to show in the next couple of days.
I had dominant follicles at D11, so I had to have ovulated a few days after that and AF or BFP is on the cards very very soon!
aRGH! hATE, hate, hate this waiting game.

I once was pregnant with twins but the stick test was negative 12 days after ovulation... it was positive at 17 days. You still have your chances!!
Hi,
you know, I so agree about hating being pregnant! But I really want the product of pregnancy. So I guess there's no other way but to continue to try. To think with 3 miscarriages in the last year, I've actually nearly completed a term pregnancy 'being pregnant' wise. Surely it's time for the real thing!
Better get off the internet, stop obsessing and have a real life for a few hours! LOL!

Just talked to my twin sister. She is 13 weeks along now. We are certain it is twins. She can feel one baby moving at the top and one moving at the bottom. But we are wondering why these two are at the top and bottom. She is so scared she might be having triplets (natural).
She hasn't had a scan yet and won't until 20 weeks. Because if it is proven to be more than 1 she she will automatically be referred to a high risk service and won't get a say in which doctor she gets (she is petrified of being forced to have a cesarian against her wishes). She wants to have a natural delivery if at all possible. Anyway, if she is not detected early she will get taken care of by her midwife (who looked after her for the last 2 babies and who already knows she suspects twins, and whose wife also had a natural birth for twins), for at least the first 20 weeks. And once she is in he can then help her have some choice in which doctor she should get in with.
My twin still reckons I'm pregnant. She says I will find out in the next few days (by Sunday). Let's see if she can be right!
Not many symptoms today, but consistent low-grade nausea....

Negative this morning. D37! I would have thought it should be positive by now if it were going to be. :(
Am losing hope.
However, I don't know for sure when I ovulated, so things could conceivably be off by a few days.
Many less symptoms today than yesterday. Am craving for sweets though. That could be "comfort eating".
Wish magic could just happen and I could know yes, or know. Anyhows, I guess AF will either turn up or not sooner or later and things will become clear!

I literally busted out laughing when I read your last post. I too am in this agonizing 2 week wait, I have had an elevated temperature everyday, cramping, slightly nauseous upn waking, and urinating every 20 to 30 minutes. I have taken 2 hpt and both come back negative. I have been trying my best to see that second line (LOL) Im 7DPO so Im really hoping Im testing too soon. Blessings to you!
Thank you thank you everyone! I so appreciate your comments.
Saw my accupuncturist this morning. Says that I could be pregnant, though obviously have to wait and see still.
Just tried testing now (est. D 26) and it's still negative. :( No matter how hard i look or try to imagine the second line, it's not there! LOL!
Symptoms seem to reduce if I stuff my face! Though I really shouldn't as I have diabetes....
Can't wait to find out one way or another.
I will be testing every day now until either I get a positive or my period arrives. Thank goodness there are cheap tests available. Grabbed 4 $1 ones today...

Please keep us posted, Sally. I am so hoping that you are pregnant. Fingers and toes crossed!
I so understand. I too get so frustrated that they can't give me any reason for my losses, except age. It's been really hard for me to accept that. However, they good news is, we have both done it before. And not all that long ago. So there is every reason to believe we can again! Hang tight Sally, you'll get there.
Just releax you will be ok, I had many months almost a year of pregnancy signs thru out my cycles, up until I found out i was actually pregnant back in dec, so it will happen enjoy ur non-pregnant body now and doing things u like to do, without worrying or getting depressed about not being pregnant. I remember wanting to be pregnant so bad and when it finally happened i was happy and then all of sudden did my thoughts change and i became very depressed over the whole pregnancy thing, now im 17 weeks pregnant and just started to be happy over my pregnancy since I now know all test have came back normally and the baby is doing well, but this will 4 sure be my last pregnancy ever, i have two girls and i will be happy when this one is born to our family, but i really dont like pregnancy at all, much happier when im not pregnant! You forgot how bad it is when u wait to long before kids, j/k good luck
Really wishing you the best results possible!
Don't judge yourself too harshly about being obsessive or hopeful. We can be are own worst enemies when it comes to criticizing ourselves.
Allow yourself to feel, be obsessed, be angry and most importantly allow yourself to be happy, you deserve to be happy.
There will be a time and place when your focus may change but there is no sense is stressing about it now. I personally think that your obsession to get pregnant shows signs of the devoted mother you will be.
Hugs and Wishes to you!

Est. D25 today. Been having menstrual type cramping since this morning. No bleeding yet. But not feeling good about this anymore.
Amazing how our body can mislead us into believing we are pregnant when we're not, particularly when we want it so much!
My breasts are still sore, but no more nausea. Still have headache, but that could be stress. :(
Anyway, my doctor recommended we wait for 2 cycles. So am still within her recommendations. All results back so far are totally normal, just waiting for the antiphosopholipid antibody results. If these too are normal, it means there is no explanation for why I can't keep a baby. I am so sad about not being able to stay pregnant.
I hate the way I am obsessing about getting pregnant. I wish I could just focus on other parts of my life and totally ignore this whole unsuccessful fertility journey.

I truely hope so!
It is so easy to mistrust myself and how I am feeling under these circumstances.

You know your body. And I know that are a very self aware person. Your don't seem the type to "imagine" symptoms. You always seem so grounded. It is so scary after all you have been through lately. But even my RE told me that when you keep conceiving, obviously your chances of getting that healthy egg increase. It's in there...and hopefully its this one!!
Thanks for telling me that Adgal. Am so hopeful. Of course symptoms don't make me pregnant, only a positive test will do that.
But I really really do feel something. Am scared and hopeful! Will let you all know.

Good luck Sally! Remember, Ryder was conceived right after my 5th miscarriage...and I do mean right after..lol. He stuck..perhaps the "right after" is the lucky one. Keeping everything crossed for you!!!
