Emma yay for finally ovulating and getting to do transfer on Friday.
Vic I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope everything goes well and you recover quickly but let yourself take whatever time you need to be able to move forward. We are all here for you xo
N2L, I had heard that a biopsy can help with implantation too, so I think it's worth asking about. GL with your Dr tomorrow.
Vic, there's really no words that will make tomorrow better. Be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal. As for TTC, why not ask your Dr. If they say to wait, ask why. If they're not direct, really push them (assuming you don't want to wait). A lot of the time they want you to wait just so you have a LMP for any subsequent pg. I decided their convenience wasn't a good enough reason for us to wait, so we started TTC in the d&c cycle. However, sometimes there is a more pressing medical reason for waiting, so it is always worth asking and especially asking "why".
Afm, my temp went up today, so I might have O'd. Waiting for those 3 days of high temps to confirm though. How ridiculous that I didn't want to O early and N2L didn't want to O late and our bodies both did exactly the opposite! Stupid ovaries.
Ugh, I've just finished catching up on 8 hours of work that was meant to be done last week and now have the worst headache...
Seratec opk positive this morning. EWCM and sharp pains on my right hand side last night. So I guess I am about to ovulate.
Too late for biopsy though. I have rescheduled for next Monday.
An interesting thing I thought I'd share - I have been using Lullaby Conceptions OPKs for 10 days (including this morning). Still no positive. That's using the same FMU as I got the positives from the seratec. Not that reliable IMO.
The HPTs are still okay I think (at least they have worked for me with testing out the trigger).
N2L, that's interesting that you're getting +opk with FMU. Generally, it's advised to not use FMU because we only start to metabolise the LH into our urine after we wake. I always get my +opk quite late in the day. Are you at least getting a dark line on the LC ones, even if it's not as dark as the control?
Vic, I hope today passes as quickly as possible, with no complications.
Juniper, I always tested at around 2pm until my last transfer in May when my FS and nurses said the latest thinking was to test with FMU. So now I do! I did do one yesterday too (the first seratec which was an almost positive).
Like I said, I had pain and ewcm last night. Just checked again. EWCM seems to be gone.
eta - the second line on the cheapie tests is still pretty faint.
Vic what an awful day you have had, you have every right to feel everything you wrote. Losing a baby is the hardest thing, I will never say you forget it but in time it gets easier to accept. My DH always says to me that their was a reason it didn't continue and I always think of that on days when I am not coping and angry with it, although we will never know why and that still makes me angry.
If you need to talk, cry or vent about it make sure you do cause it needs to come out to help you if that's what you need to do to work through it and we are all always here for you.
I hope in time your pain eases and you can enjoy trying again with as little fear possible. I hope all of that came out right.
Sending you a huge hug and thinking if you xo
Vic, I'm sorry to hear you ended up back at the hospital later for the bleeding and pain. I didn't have clots, but I certainly did have bleeding after my d&c (for 18 days), so I'm surprised you were told you shouldn't have any. I also found that, while it was light to medium at first, almost exactly a week after the d&c I was suddenly bleeding heavily and the same again another week later. (My lap was on a Monday afternoon and both lots of heavy bleeding were Sunday nights.) I only mention it because it surprised the heck out of me. But everything else you describe, I could have written. All of those thoughts and feelings are very normal for the situation (I hope, otherwise we're both weird ).
I'm glad to hear your hubby is looking after you. I'm even more glad to hear that he is being open with you. Mine still doesn't talk about what happened, even after 6 months. We have also lost his dad since then, and he doesn't talk about that either, so I think he thinks he has to bottle everything up and "be strong". I wish he wouldn't because it makes him so angry. Talking is good.
Im not sure if I would qualify to be in here but I thought Id pop in and see because I dont entirely feel like I belong in the usual TTC threads anymore.
We've been trying for 2.5 years to have another baby. In that time Ive had 4 miscarriages (7 overall), the last of which was in May, which was very physically and emotionally traumatic. Its taken me awhile to decide whether to continue on or be happy with what we have; and to brave the uncertainty of miscarriage again, but we've decided to keep trying for a little longer now my cycle seems to be back. Unfortunately the fertility specialist up here have been absolutely no help (was previously diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome in Sydney) so we're going solo and hoping for the best. I used to be a member of this thread way back when we were TTC our first baby, and finally graduated after 2 years.
Im feeling a little lost these days. All my friends that have been TTC have gone on to either be currently pregnant or have had babies (sometimes 2 separate babies!) while Im still struggling along.
