Baking a baby Penguin..

Monday Aug 27 2007 19:21:25
By Mrs Penguin


Well this afternoon I have started pink spotting so I reckon that's it for me this time. I am gutted obviously but at least now the limbo of waiting and wondering is over and we can get on with preparing for next cycle. After typing this I am going to order some ovulation sticks so I can track my cycle for a bit, I am not going to let it stress me out this time, I just need to know what my cycle is doing this time - last time I got to know my body so well and now I feel like a stranger to myself again.

Oh well....

A silly part of my brain though is telling me that it's ONLY pink spotting and a little when I wipe and this is common in early pregnancy so until I start my period full flow all is not lost. In reality I know not to keep my hopes up but it's so hard when all your hopes are pinned on one thing and one thing only.

*sigh*

Sorry to hear no patter of tiny peguin feet to soon be heard. Try to enjoy Martin rather than just babymaking attempts and you will both be happier and prob fall pregnant sooner. So many people aare cheering you on. Think the new hair colour sounds great wish I could do that but work would send me home. Take time to get to know your body again or it will be a huge shock when things are so different post baby. You'll get there, sending you prayers for a happy, healthy baby.

Hi MrsP. I had 3 miscarriages before having my second child, it is hard and dishearting but if you can get pregnant once chances are you will get pregnant and have a healthy baby at the end of it... I had to have a stich put in as my cervix was weak, but went on to have a very healthy and BIG beautiful girl (she was 10Ib 6oz at 38 weeks) I had fertility treatment to help as i suffer from polycystic ovaries, and had a blockage in one tube.... but despite all the obstacles i have 2 fantastic children. Please dont get disheartend.. i am sending you lots and lots of baby dust and best wishes xxxxxxxxx

Hi Mrs P – I hope yo don’t mind me posting I have been reading yourblog for a while now. I just wanted to say I know things are really hard at the moment but you will get back in tune with your body. I have a miscarriage last year at 8 weeks and like you had fairly regular cycles ovulation on day 12 etc. We have only just started trying again and started using a fertility monitor as my cycle is less regular and longer since the miscarriage. If you read all the books and literature it says ovulation is likely to be between day 12 and 20 so I had been hugely disappointed each morning when the monitor said low fertility right up to day 17 – but it changed on day 18 and finally changed to peak on day 23!! Yes day 23 – so if I had been following the general rules and baby dancing between 10 and 20 we would have missed peak completely!!

I just wanted to stay I think the ovulation sticks would be a good idea to help you get back on track and know your body again.

Be strong you are doing really well and we are all routing for you and Mr P and there is a lot of baby dust being sent your way.

Best of luck xx

still nothing.., day 33...

Though I am "dry" down there today which is usually a sign I'm going to come on soon so I don't know whether to wait a little longer before testing. I'm very aware that the tests are not cheap and I don't want to "waste" too many by testing too soon if I can wait to see if the dreaded period arrives..

I have saved some of my FMU though so if I get impatient later I can still test with that.

I am also symptom spoting like mad - I have a funny feeling in my tummy that I have convinced myself is a baby, but in reality is probably just wind. I have had a really healthy breakfast of fruit instead of the eggs and bacon I'd planned so OBVIOUSLY this is a baby making me crave healthy food... I am so messed up in my head still..

On a happy note, I dyed my hair purple again yesterday and that always cheers me up, I love having purplre hair. I may get told off when I go back to school but I don't care... hehe rebel me!

Much love

still nothing.... *deep sigh* - cycle day 32... (in the pink penguin house)

This is DOING MY NUT IN! I'm starting to think even coming on would be better than all this blasted waiting and wondering (though obviously I am aching to be pregnant).

Oh well, am going out to a birthday party tonight so can forget about it for a bit, then I think I'll test again in the morning (after all, I've got a few to use up). I have always come on first thing in the morning so should know if anything's going to happen by the time I've got up, had a drink and maybe breakfast before going for that all-important first wee...

Please keep sending baby thoughts to me... I'm going to end up bald soon with tearing my hair out over this..

Much love

Well it is official - I am in Limbo again. I hate it here...

My cycles pre-preg were regular, lovely, neat 28 day cycles and as predictable as clockwork. I am now on day 30 with no sign of a period anywhere. Pre-mc I would have already tested by now as I was so regular but now I just don't know what to do. I have no idea if my cycles will settle to normal or be screwy or get longer or what after the mc so I do not know whether to test or not.

I just rang my dear, wonderful Bertie Takers and she said to "go with my gut instincts" but I don't even know what that is! Deep down I think there's no way we'd be lucky enough to get pregnant again so quickly and on the first try but there's another part of me saying that it can and does happen to people and we have been quite good with lots of babydancing so there is a good chance it might happen. I just don't know. I bought 5 tests today (I know - overkill - but there was a get some free offer on and I hate to miss out on a bargain) but I don't know whether to do one now, later, tomorrow, in a week or hide under the duvet or what! I know if I test today and get a negative then there's still a chance that a test later may be positive as I may be testing too early but will that dishearten me? If I wait and don't come on for a week I'll be getting my hopes up every day and what if I then come on? I'll be devastated... I'm in a quandry and no mistake.

Bert has suggested waiting to do one in the morning (when it will be more accurate anyway) so I think I'll have a nap and follow her advice but it's going to eat away inside me until I know for certain one way or the other... grrrrrr!

I hate TTC - it's such an emotional and turbulent process and I wish it was easier!

Hi Hat

I am sorry to hear that it was negative. My cycles are all over the place as well, I really thought I was pregnant last month but then after a negative test my af arrived. It feels like we are on this constant roller coaster doesn't it!
I got pregnant so easily last time and it's not happening this time, what a nightmare.
Hope you are well apart from that.

Hi Mrs P

As you know I am TTC. At the moment I keep using my ovulation sticks every morning waiting for those two pinks lines. I cant believe for the last 6 months when I thought I was ovulating I was not. As soon as those two pinks lines show then it knowing I have those few precious days with Mr Welshbale to bake our own little welshie. My heart goes out to you and I am blowing all the baby dust I can spare your way.

Kerrie xx
