Good luck Ttc babyflo! Wish my appointment was this week, not until next Thursday!

spallerina the concentration of your urine can affect the line, I noticed this. I last POAS on Monday which was day AF was due, and a week after I first tested. The line was darker but wouldn't say it was dark, dark.

Good to hear your feeling better redbear, I'm not as bad as I expected even managed breakfast.
My prenatal vitamins made me really ill last time but the folic acid tablet alone is fine with me. Is there a lower dosage tablet you could take twice a day which may not make you as poorly? xxx

Olivia just join us! we wont tell anyone.

I feel good today, no sickness, a little more energy, i even had a sandwich for brekfast and all good. Weird eh! Not that im complaining a day off feeling ill wont hurt.

I havent phoned the doctor yet, i hate seeing them because i have a high bmi (i lost 4 stone before pregnancy but gained some back before i actually fell pregnant). so for now im burrying my head in the sand.

Does anyone know alternitives to the folic acid tablets? They made me violently sick last pregnancy, they where pointless id take one and it came streight back up. So last time i just ate veg high in FA. I hoped there would be something better out now though xx

Do you need to see a doctor? In my area you can self-refer to a midwife, no need to see GP first. Know it varies from area to area though. As for worrying about your BMI, I never lost the baby weight from my last pregnancy so am obese according to BMI and on high dose folate due to this.

Have you tried getting folate rather than folic acid? I was taking it while TTC. Folate is the naturally occurring form, folic acid is the synthetic alternative. Might be worth a go? I got some from Amazon! Not prescribable as a far as I know...

Oh absolutely the concentration of your urine affects it, that's why FMU is usually suggested for PTs, as you've not been drinking while sleeping and your body releases hormones overnight which make your urine more concentrated!

What other supplements are people taking? xxx

 

[spallerina]

Just vitamin D in addition to the folate for me. That's all that's recommended.

Thank you i wil have a look at this as well as ask about the lower dose.

I can self refer but the midwife is at the sure start center, at the same time as baby and toddler. where everyone knows me so if im seen sat waiting to see the midwife everyone will know before i want them to.
I am going to visit the midwife only later on because i like her its the same woman from the firt two and she never told me off about my weight.
I may just have to book with the dr for the first and then go midwife fr the rest xxx

Anyone else still POAS daily to check the lines? Mine won't go any darker on the tests I have so now just paranoid they might get lighter. I have a lovely line up of sticks I've peed on in the kitchen ��

I've banned myself from doing any more as they were faint and it was stressing me out! May see if the GP will do one today to confirm!

Please try not to worry Spallerina xxx

 

[spallerina]

You're sensible TTC babyflo! POAS is no way to accurately measure what HCG levels are doing, and the strength of the line doesn't really mean very much (so many things affect it including sensitivity of the test you use and urine concentration at the time you take the test). However after my one whole day of deciding I was going to be very pragmatic and not stress too much I have spent the last 24 hours stupidly anxious, and feel fairly certain it's all going to go wrong.

It's times like this I could really do with a large gin...

 

[Starchild]

Try not worry spallerina, harder than it sounds I know that first hand. I'm kinda worrying I've lost my sickness today lol

I've started getting eye flashes tho? Had them last time but much later on, when I developed high blood pressure. xxx

 

[redbear]

Dont worry yourself about the tests they arent accurate a line is a line the amount of dye in each test can effect how strong it looks.
Anyone elses smell going wild? I swear i can smell everything!! xx

 

[spallerina]

Off for acupuncture in a bit (was seeing her to help with fertility before, decided to keep going for the time being) - going to see if she can help with the nausea today I think!

How did it go? Xxx

 

[claire2602]

No symptoms again today.

Still got these annoying heart palpitations and dizzy waves not sire if thats a symptom or not!?!?
Xxx

 

[Ttc babyflo]

Hey ladies! All is well Been to the GP - he didn't do a test as he said I'm a week late and have LOTS of positives so I'm pregnant. Ive requested a weight management thing as I struggle with my weight and want to make sure I don't go back into 'obese' and midwife referral all in the pipeline - so that's it!
Just come home and got my first 2-3 digital - HAPPY TEARS!!!!!!

 

[redbear]

aww lovely. i still havent phoned to book in, im going to phone maybe friday. xx

 

[Starchild]

claire2602 I've been dizzy too and aside from a little heartburn I've had no symptoms today either.


Congrats on the doc visit! I can't wait for mine just to make it feel a little more real!

How is everyone today? xxx

 

[claire2602]
