Claire'sMummy - My tests came back fine for bloodclotting disorders too but the FS still insisted I take them. Will you still be seeing the FS? Can you ring and ask ahead of your appointment if he wants you to take them. Sorry, don't mean to go on about it but the difference between this pregnancy and the 4 I lost is the aspirin and same goes for a girlfriend of mine. She lost 6 before her Ob put her on aspirin. Good luck sweetie, I am so excited for you.
India's Mum~ Yes definately still seeing the FS on the 18th of next month, I will give them a ring today and ask them if it is ok if I take the Aspirin and see what they say. Thank you for all your advice darl I truly appreciate it alot. I will let you know how I get on, not sure if the FS will tell me to take it without seeing me first though. If he won't tell me either way could it hurt if I am taking it and I don't need it? Maybe I should just get some and take.
Its not looking good money wise for IVF. It's all changed, more $ due up front now but the refund from Medicare is quicker. The positive is that you can pay in 2 installments but the second installment is around $5000 so that is a hell of a lot up front. We dont have that kind of money all at once. Not unless we try and take out another loan some how. So yeh pretty disappointed and AF defintiely here today.
Sorry for the negativity ladies - just why does it have to be so damn expensive
hi all, loops-sorry finances are getting in your way,hoping for a sticky natural bfp for you...saffy-thinking of you tomorrow,is the transfer am or pm??
age78- Congratulations babe on your BFP your levels look great but I know we can all appreciate your nervousness. When will you have another bt or are you going straight to a scan?
Claires'smummy - Gosh I can't believe you have to go an hour and half to your Dr. Did you POAS again today? Did it look good? My blood clot tests came back on the better side of good and my FS is still happy for me to take the low dose asprin, I don't think it can do any harm. Did you hear back from the FS?
Saffy - wishing you the very best of luck for tomorrow babe, what time is your FET? Will be thinking of you.
Loops - I was going to suggest a loan if it is at all possible. I have a line of credit for my business which is against my mortgage you might be able to talk to the bank about something like that. Would you maybe consider some more IUIs instead? Sorry AF is here but glad you can start another cycle.
Minnie - Missing you but hoping things are going great for you. Please keep us updated.
Mathew'smum- good to see you.
Crafty- where are you up to is your egg on the way?
AFM - I've been having some pains from my right ovary (its much more active than my left) so I'm hoping it'll be a good scan on wednesday and we can insem thurs/fri/sat next week.
saffy: good luck tomorrow, hope it all goes well for you, do you have time off work now ?
loops: sorry af arrived and sorry your finances won't allow you to do IVF at the moment, it sux that money has to hinder you starting your family
age78: big congrats to you are you going to make your way over to the pregnancy after m/c of loss thread ?
matthewsmum: i hope things are going ok for you
crafty: sounds like a good idea to stop the vitex, funny how it works well for some people and not for others. have to tried maca (or is it macca) ?
sunbeam: hoping your ultrasound goes well, did you say DD is taking vitamins ?
i hope you get that take home baby but if not even though i don't know what you look like (apart from your avi lol) i can really see you doing so much good caring for children that really need someone lovely like you looking after them:-)
afm: im still laying low, clairesmummy has joined the pregnancy after miscarriage list but im having a hard time bringing myself to do the same, guess im still scared. i have had 3 blood tests now and the numbers are going up as they should, one day at a time
hi girls, my fet is at 12midday, mum is taking me cos DH is away, so no doubt we will be late as mum is never on time for anything lol
And yes, I now have 6 days off work- woohoo!!!
Hi all,
Just a quick update. Hcg levels rising but progesterone dropping! Have a pretty strong feeling that this was a problem the first time around. Doctor & FS don't seem too concerned but I am. Not sure why they don't prescribe progesterone, even if it's just to ease my mind? Level is now at 42 compared to 51 on tues. Pretty significant hey? What do you all think?
Thanks for everyones well wishes... Not ready at all to join another thread just yet. Saffy you were probs right. Can't believe the month I join a thread I actually get a BFP! Hope all goes well with everyone over the next couple of days. Sending sticky vibes your way...
sorry girls i tried to post then accidently left my ticker on so tried to delete the message but now it has disappeared altogether, hope it doesn't come through 3 times !
age78: how stressful for you, it doesn't sound good that the progesterone is dropping. i don't know why drs are so reluctant to give out progesterone, i hope you can convince them otherwise, sounds like you need it. i'm on progesterone pessaries twice a day because my levels post ovulation were low (while on clomid)
I'm back to Belly Belly after a couple of years off and this looks like it might be a good forum for me. Hi everyone, I will lurk and get to know you for a little while.
Have been TTC for quite a while now and after a string of very early losses (cant seem to get past 6 weeks), I've been taking some space. We haven't been avoiding TTC the past couple of years, but I have not been consciously thinking about it either. Just been focussing on other things.
We have consciously decided to focus again now and I think I ovulated yesterday, so I will be sweating out my first conscious TWW in a couple of years. We only got to BD on Sunday and Monday night though because DH is now working out at the mines, so I will try not to get my hopes up this month.
I used to see a FS when we were down in Melbourne (we moved to Mackay 6 mths ago), but I think I'll be flying solo up here in Mackay, probably just go through a GP if I need some Hcg and Pg levels, at least for now. I didn't really get any real answers from the FS back then. I have hashimotos and some other mild autoimmune issues, some NK cells, plus only one kidney. But we dont really know why I keep having losses, could be due to one of those things or a combo of all of them. The way it was left with the FS was that she thought IVF was the next step because apparently its easier to control the immune system. But not ready to go there yet, nor can we afford it. So, just hoping for a bit of magic!
Age78 - Unfortunately I have no idea about the importance of the Pg levels, but I have my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully the Hcg going up is a good sign.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you and hopefully watch you all move onto the pregnancy forums really soon!
Sunbeam~ I could go to a GP here which is only about 30mins away, but both DF and I decided we want this PG followed by my old GP the ones I used while pregnant with DD 6 years ago now. We only decided this as it's the same town we will be travelling to to visit my FS and that's hopefully and FX the same town I will go to have bub. Praying like crazy that I get to have a healthy sticky bub. My FS rang me back yesterday and he had a good chat to me and he told me to not take any aspirin as it has apparently recently been found out that taking aspirin while pregnant if you have had recurrent MC can cause you to have another MC. So he advised me to start taking a multi pregnancy vitamin and also keep taking my folate tablets, he said if I even suspect I am going to MC I am to ring him straight away but other than that he will see me on the 18th August and we will do a scan then. So I am just hoping that all goes really well this time as Im not sure I could handle a 4th loss.
Saffy~ Good luck today darl, be thinking of you at 12:05pm, seeing as though you said your mum is always late darl I thought I would give yah the extra 5 minutes, lol. Praying everything goes extremely well for you today and the 2WW darl.
Age78~ I would be asking lots and lots of questions about your progesterone levels darl, seems like a big drop to me darl. I don't know what your Progesterone level should be while pregnant but I guess we can only hope and pray your FS and GP are on the job darl. Sending you massive amounts of sticky vibes darl.
AFM~ Not much going on DF took us out to dinner last night and we had a very good freinds come along as well, we all had a good night out and a huge meal I still feel totally bloated this morning. Like Minnie told you all i have joined up in the Pregnancy after MC thread, I lived every second of my last pregnancy being totally petrified of the what if and maybe that I never got to enjoy being pregnant, so this time around I feel I should grab this pregnancy by the horns and enjoy every second of being PG, although I am still very very scared of everything that may and could go wrong I don't think I should let the fear over take my enjoyment. But I will be checking in on you lovely ladies from time to time and sending you all massive amounts of baby dust and sticky vibes to all.
xox
Hi girls, just reporting in that my transfer went very well, embie thawed almost 100% and the transfer went perfectly. I had a really full bladder and the Dr was running late, so I was in agony, the nurse let me go to the toilet and I actually manged to let 1/2 out, then had a good amount left in ( i had to use all my power to stop halfway through, cos usually for me once its going thats it, sorry if tmi).
Now i am bed rest on the couch, I'm bored already, theres not much on tv on sunday, watching some dvds though.
Claresmummy- I really hope not to see you in here again (iykwim) just for visits only- best of luck hun for a sticky baby xxx
hi everyone, saffy-thanks for the update,been wondering...jodsan-welcome to the thread,sorry for your losses,hope your next bfp is here soon...afm-tww,accountant seems to be taking his sweet time in finishing our tax return,annoying,might have to put ivf treatment of another month.
Hi Lovely Ladies
Thanks for all your advice etc
I'm in a really dark place again - really struggling with DH at the moment, he's always off with mates and not helping around the home and I want to sell my Ute for IVF money but he wont let me. I'm so sick of his s*i#. And to top it all off I have the worst AF pain - to the point I'm struggling at work today
Jodsan ~ welcome, i'm sorry for the losses and I hope the break from TTC has done the world of good for you.
Clairesmummy ~ I think that is a spot-on way of looking at it - really enjoy being pregnant huni, good for you. Also good to have you ladies stick around here too though.
Minnie ~ hope you start to feel a little more at ease soon hun
Sunbeam ~ hope those eggies are doing well and FX'd for transfer soon!
Age ~ hope things are still going well CONGRATULATIONS
Saff ~ excellent lots of rest now xo
MM ~ hope your tax return comes back today so you dont have to wait. I havent even got mine in to accountant yet as I'm still waiting on couple of things - we do have to put if off for couple months GL and FX'd hun.
**sneaking in**
Saffy~ I know exactly what you mean by your comment darl, I am hoping and praying for the same thing. I will be a very frequent visitor in here I can't wait to read your BFP announcement darl, I have everything crossed for you here and X'd tightly darl. How long do you have to wait to POAS when you have a FET?
Loops~ Men can be so unsupportive at times with out even realising it I beleive they were only put on earth to drive us women insane at times. to you darl. I hope things come together for you soon darl and you can get your next IVF cycle under way. If I could win the lotto darl or strike it rich some how I would help you out in a second darl. xox
Jodsan~ Welcome to the thread darl, you will find all the ladies in here very suppotive and wonderful advice givers. Good luck with your journey darl.
Age78~ How are you going darl? Hope things are going really well for you.
loops: for you, it is such a tough road you are on, i can understand you being upset with DH, its all very well going out with your friends and having a good time but i think you reach a point when it isn't enough anymore and if he is spending money you could be saving for IVF that would be even more frustrating. why doesn't he want you to sell your ute ?
it is so hard to switch off thinking about ttc as women (i think), we are constantly analysing everything about our cycle from start to finish and trying to work out every signal our body is telling us and im sure you want to get on with things are not have to be living like this all the time, thats more thoughts anyway, i could be way off.
big again honey i wish it could be different for you
