went docs today...

[hayes]

I have been feeling rough for a week now, very light headed, dizzy spells, my eyes hurting and not being able to see properly sometimes. I also have had backache and been so sleepy. I thought it was my fibromyalgia playing up again but last night i came up in a very bad rash so thought better go docs today.

Well he said i had a viral infection(cant remember the name was a werid one!)and that it is common in early pg, he told me that altho i had af(altho a light and short one)if i was still feeling bad at the weekend i shoud do a test as i could be pg frm my symptoms!! Neva had someone tell me to poas before lol.

I dont think i am tho i do think that i am just ill but may have to test at weekend just to see. What do you guys think?? Anyone been ill and then found out pg that way??

Hmm, it's a bit of a double edged sword really.

Viral infection = boo
Pregnancy = yay

Viral infection during early pregnancy... Well, it's far from ideal.

It's a shame you can't remember the name of it, but let's hope for a healthy BFP

Good luck! xx

Hope it's a BFP for you!

Why wait? No time like the present to find out!

Lol im the worst for testing, i think i have a fear of poas!!

The doc said it wasnt prob very likely seeing as i did have af he just said it could happen its something to do with the hormones that effect the area at the base of my brain which has got the infection, and that if it didnt go away by the weekend then it would be wise to test. I cant test yet anyway as i havent got any tests apart frm cb digi, and i dont want to waste one of those.

I think my chances must be very slim.

Still a little hopeful tho!!

Hi Michelle, I have had these symptoms since thurs and as I'm a teacher thought I'd run myself down and fm was playing up. My doc isn't great , not a big believer in fm . Although I managed to get him to refer me to a chronic fatigue clinic who are fantastic support. Yeah I get days where I think people think I'm putting it on as externally we look well. At the moment my eyes are sore and so blurred. I used to go to opticians when this happened but he says it's linked to fm .

 

[hayes]

Sorry to hear your having such a rough time, i work with children so its been tough this week when i jsut want to be resting up but i aslo know if i sit down for too long il get all stiff so im better off keeping going. Havent had too bad a time with the fm for a while. Are you on any meds??

Michelle. x

 

[greekgirl84]

What do u do? I am part time this year but decided as I control my fm quite well I'm goin back full Time in September. I haven't struggled like this in a while. I have come off my mess last 6 months as I was becoming a nut case on them so try to deal with just listening to my body and ibuprofen really now, as advised by doc if trying to come off them

 

[greekgirl84]

Do u take meds ? How do u cope with urs x

 

[hayes]

Im a nursery nurse in a large private nursery. Its such good fun but hard work. I work 38hrs a week and sometimes i feel its too much and others its fine. I came off my meds last yr when we started ttc. Most of the time ive been ok off them.

I cant help but worry that having fm is whats holding bak my bfp.

Where are you on your ttc journey? Did you say you were starting ivf?

Michelle. x

 

[greekgirl84]

Hi,
Well I came off the meds around nov as like u felt as trying to conceive was best to do, although I had already drastically cut down my meds from feb 2010 when we started trying. I was on 20 tablets a day plus wore a morphin patch all the time.
Wow sounds like fun. I know what u mean how energy alternates week by week. I teach reception so just from u to me love my job but can he hard work.
We are cycle 28 and starting ivf. Start injections 13th July.
I had a mmc in April at 4 weeks ( day after I got my bfp) so was devastated.
Due to condition and amount of time trying fertility clinic felt we were candidates for ivf. Thought anything in between was a waste of time and a risk at loosing a free chance on nhs due to limited funding. But we have tried just about everything ourselves opks , legs up , conceive plus. So scare when letters came today for ivf but longing do much to have a family .
Sorry for long reply. What's ur journey been like. X

 

[hayes]

Really wish you so much luck with it hun.

I have been ttc since may last yr now, gave up the meds last may but had a bit of a rough patch last Aug so had to go back on for a little while but back off by end of sept. Have got my cycles down to roughly 28-33day cycles and then last month was 38days so was ever so hopeful that it was finally going to happen for us and then af showed!!

Was gutted but only lasted 3days and was light for me. Still dont think i am pg tho. May test at the weekend tho as im still not feeling great.

Went to the docs a little while ago and he has tested my blood for ov and says that i do seem to ov and we are in the process of checking out hubby at the mo. Cant shake off this feeling that its going to be a long and tough journey before we are going to be parents but i know how rewarding its going to be.

Off to see my best friends little girl who was born tuesday tonight, not sure how im guna feel. Im so excited yet worried im guna cry or be jealous who thought having a child would be so hard lol!!

[greekgirl84]

I had those bloods and was told I did so to go home and get pregnant! I was like I have been trying for 21 months! Hubby had tests and all is fine!
Hopin u don't have to wait much longer hun! Last 8 months every a bought tears! Today I would have been 12 weeks . I opened doors to garden today and infront of me was a feather. Made me think of my angel and hoping she is sending us some luck.

 

[hayes]

Have sent you a private message hun hope thats ok.
