LT TTC after Miscarriage or Loss #8

[Sunbeam]

Hi Lovelies,

Sorry I have not been around for a few days.

Crafty - I really hope you get one last miracle before the big M I would be so delighted for you I know how much you want it.

Saffy- How are you feeling sweetie is the TWW getting to you or are you keeping busy? Well done on managing to do a half bladder pee

Loops - I am so sorry you are struggling to agree on the best course of action with DH. Like I said before would it be worth doing IUI again or is IVF really your only option? Is there any chance DH swimmers have improved? Crafty was told that her DH's swimmers would never get her pg and he then managed 8 children and you did manage a natural pg recently so maybe its worth a try!

Age - Any news babe I hope things are going okay.

Jodan - Welcome to our little thread best of luck with your journey here.

Hi Clairesmummy and Minne I hope your little bubs are growing well.

Mathewsmum - I hope your tax return comes in soon.

AFM - Had my scan today and there is a nice fat follie ready to go and great lining so will be doing insems tomorrow, fri and sat. I know it is bad and I feel quite guilty but I keep thinking if I get pg this cycle I won't be able to drink at my 40th in a few weeks. Its so silly because I really want a bub but I just feel I have given up so much already and also I'll only be about 7 weeks so no where near feeling safe about it lasting. I guess I'm also worried that if I miscarry before my birthday I won't feel like celebrating at all, f@#ck this journey is hard!!

Sunbeam, I have been very calm so far in my tww, but today the crazy has come out and I can feel myself getting stressed, started gogling this morning Have had cramping for the last few days and very emotional ( DH came home early yesterday and caught me bawling my eyes out on the couch ) but nothing else, I still have 6 days til BT- HELP!!
Good luck for your insem, thats a tricky one about your 40th, not sure what you can do about it??
Hi everyone else!

Hi gils just a quickie. Have been looking at houses to rent for my 40th and will be having heaps of fun regardless . OPK got stronger today so should be pos tomorrow for O'ing on sat. Bring it on.

Saffy - Just breathe and step away from the computer

Thanks ladies
It is such a hard journey, that I think I just need to try and sit back and think before cracking it at DH next time. He has also been through a great ordeal with his work injury - fractured neck. We are doing heaps better, he seems to be listening and I think he understand why I was angry. He got the all clear to go back to work yesterday - so that has def cheered him up.

Crafty ~ I too will be , please please please just one more miracle for craftymummy!

Sunbeam ~ thanks for all your wonderful suggestions. I suggested IUI to DH and he said yeh that could be a good idea so I think I'll look into how much it is, yes especially since we did almost get there naturally recently. I hope you dont get to drink at your party but still have a great time!!

Saff ~ not too long to go, FX'd tight for you hun

hope everyone is well and enjoy the weekend!

Hi girls,
Been quite in here.

Saffy - Anything?

Loops - I really think IUI is worth a try again worked well for me and I was only out of pocket $500 each time.

AFM - Just a question if this happens to anyone else. My OPK was very pos from 9.30am yesterday and still at 2.30 but today at 12 very neg again same as last cycle. I'm not sure if maybe my surge is happening late the day before but I always used to get pos. for 2 days. Guess it does not matter so long as it happens just bit curious. Anyway, did insems thurs, yesterday and doing one today. So TWW from tomorrow. Feeling quite happy that i'll either get a BFP or I'll be able to drink at my party bit of a win/win month, nice.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Thanks Sunbeam ~ def IUI sounds like a plan!
My cycles sometimes do strange things like that - sometimes its hard to know what is happening. Our bodies or the OPK's like to keep us guessing. I think as long as you DTD as much as possible is the key goodluck hun.
FX'd for a good TWW and the best possible outcome!!

I went to visit friend in hospital and her newborn bub. Gorgeous to see - not too hard because I'm just happey to get a hold and a cuddle and live in hope that it will be me one day soon this friend knows she can have a babysitter at pretty much anytime lol

hi girls,

Loops- good if you can try the cheaper option!! Great news if you can do IUI. I think your DH will feel better when he goes back to work, its hard to be off work for a long time.

Sunbeam- I don't usually do OPKs once i have a positive so don't know how long they last for, but when I was having blood tests this cycle and double checking with OPKs, I had my LH surge on the Sunday ( picked up by BT at 10am) but my OPK was neg that day and didn't come up positive til the next day ( !), so that makes me think your surge was probably earlier rather than later IYKWIM. Glad you are in tww now!

craftymummy- did you see the news item about the woman who had a baby at 50? ( natural conception) I really hope you wish comes true one more time xx

Hi everyone else, I hope all the girls who are UTD are doing ok, please let us know xx

AFM- nothing happening here AT ALL, trying to remain calm and distract myself, but starting to feel it isn't going to work. I can't bear to poas, if I get to Monday without spotting I might do it then, but would be so shattered to get a one-liner it may not be worth it. No sore boobs, no cramping, no anything else, its so depressing to think about getting a BFN. Oh well, I just have to keep getting through one day at a time. Feels like the longest tww ever!!
