Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss #2 April '08

Hey Plc18o5
Congrats on your BFP. I know exactly how you feel here i am still lurking in this thread and i am now seven weeks and four days pregant. I am too terrified of having my ultrasound in a couple of weeks. I have had 3 m/c's in the past 2 of them between the 5.5 and 6.5 week mark and my third at 11.5 weeks with no heartbeat. Even though i am scared i feel that this one is different as i have already popped out and can feel the hard bump (no one else can but i can). Just take care of yourself and here is to a happy and healthy pregnancy. Remember i am hear for you as i know exactly what your going through and we can do this together.
Sending everyone else a BIG HELLO and lots of :pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust:

Hi everyone,

AJC - Phew about the temp, GL for this month!

Jen - Yay for AF LOL Hope she goes away for you soon and this is your month

PLC - Big congrats on your BFP, that's fantastic for you :D And heaps of sticky vibes too!

Canary - Sounds like my kind of conference LOL But seriously, glad to hear you are back on track, and enjoy your week off work. Facial sounds good - I'm having one in a couple of weeks and can't wait!

jenushka - hope you catch that eggie, fingers crossed!

Gosh this thread has been busy over the last few days, sorry to anyone that I have missed, hope you are all well :)

Me - 6 DPO today and had my prog done today, it was 30!! (needs to be 20 or more to indicate that ovulation occurred) So I am sooo happy I have had a natural ovulatory cycle and because it was tracked we know that we BDed at the right time yay! I don't know if I'll get to post again this week - will try though, we are off on a holiday to Singapore on Saturday for a week. We are flying over there on the Airbus A380 - very exciting! It is our "reward" to ourselves for getting through all the bad times. So hopefully I can elude the dreaded AF there - is that far enough away to go to get away from her!? LOL Hopefully I can come back to a BFP - not taking any preg tests over there with me ;) removing the temptation so to speak.

Cheerio everyone!

Hi everyone!

megsmum - thank for the eggie catching good luck and I hope you have a lovely trip to Singapore. Have you been there before? Also, great news on the prog test results. I have :crossfingers: for you...

Trac - that's great that this one feels different, I'm a big believer in listening to the inner voice and yours seems to be telling you things might be ok this time.. is there anyway you can get an earlier u/s to give you some relief in the meanwhile?

AJC - good luck catching the egg - enjoy the bd!

jen - sorry to hear AF on the way :hug:, but as you said yesterday it means you can get started asap on the next cycle...

canary - sounds like you did exactly the right thing at the conference (or at least what I would have done!). Enjoy your week off.

plc - how are you doing today? Has it sunk in yet?!! Hope you are feeling all right and I really am just so excited for you. I know its scary, so as I said yesterday stay here for as long as you need...


AFM - I know I said in last post I was giving dh the night off ... weeeellll... I wasn't going to but I did an opk last night (I bought a bulk lot from ebay) and it was an absolute complete positive (cd16)- surprised because I didn't think I was going to o until tom or thu. I also have never had one go so dark before. Guess it fits with the ewcm? Did one on Sun and didn't even have a faint line, did one this afternoon and it was quite a bit fainter than the control line so I guess thats telling me I did o yesterday - hooray! Needless to say poor dh rolled his eyes as he realised another "attacking" from me was inevitable but let me tell you he didn't protest too loudly ... hehehe

Guess that puts me now in the :2ww: - eek! I'll see some of you over in that thread as we watch the clock...

Hugs, positive vibes and :bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy: to all...

Hey cycle buddy!!! :crossfingers: for us...im pretty certain I "o" yesterday....so time will tell...here goes to our TWW!!!!!! :dance:

Good morning ladies! I thought I would have to tell you guys that AF eluded me again--after my one spot yesterday there was nothing--until this am! So now it's official, AF has arrived. Can't wait till she packs her bags so I can get busy!


Emmy-Lou--I agree, whacky cycles are very unappreciated! My fingers are crossed that you caught the egg this month!!!


AJC-- Enjoy your :bd: fest!! Go get that egg!!

Trac--7 wks. and 4days! :woot: You've made it past the first 2 hurdles! So happy to hear that this one feels different--It's a great sign of what's to come! You're going to get through this! Happy :bellygrowing:


megsmum--Wow, Singapore? I'm jealous, will you take me, too? I think that it just might be far enough away from AF-- :lol: she'll never find you there! Great results on your Progesterone test! Hope you have a really great trip and you come back with great news of a BFP!!


Jenushka--Hope this is your last :2ww: for a long time!


plc--How's it going baby mama?

Ok, so I go to my chart to enter AF. It tells me that it automatically updated my chart due to info I entered. Ok... Now all of a sudden for this month it shows the little forecasted O symbols on the
12-20, and for May shows O 9th-17!! Does it show a range of dates like that for you guys? Before I only had 1 O symbol on one day of the month, now there's 8 days worth of O symbols for both months! :wtf: Sorry, ladies, to always have so many questions about my chart :wall: I appreciate all the help, though! :grouphug: for everyone!

hello everyone,
Thanks for going easy on me and not giving me a telling off!

Trac- It's great to hear that your belly is blooming- you'll soon be bursting out of your
jeans :bellygrowing:

Jen- Sorry, I cant help with your ff question. I only have the standard 'membership' and it doesnt predict when i might O, just draws a line when it thinks I have O'd. Sounds as though it is hedging it's bets, though- what a huge range of O dates! Sorry about AF. I hope that she will soon be on her way.

MegsMum- Great to hear about your Prog. levels. Have a fab holiday and come back to us with a BFP!

I have been for my facial today and am feeling totally chilled out. I think that I may have even dropped off when the therapist left me to relax...:asleep::lol: !!
I have a question for you guys. What is WOOT? It seems to be a good thing and I might like to use it in future.

Right, I'd better be off as DH wants to use the laptop. GL to all in the 2ww (with me in theory, although not BDing at the right time probably makes me "in the 2ww but not really"!?)
:goodluck2:

Canary-- :lol: I use woot like "yeah, woo-hoo!" I don't know if that's what it's supposed to mean, but that's how I meant it!

:lol: We are so open to learning new things! I love this group!

jen...wish I could help with the chart but I don't use it...I input AF info on mymonthlycycles and it gives me an approximate date of O...that's as good as it gets for me...no charting or temping.

Emmy-Lou...good luck in your TWW!

MegsMum...here's hoping you come back from holiday w a BFP!

Canary...sometimes a little fun and relaxation is what leads you to a BFP!!!

jenushka...LOL...they never protest too loudly! I am cinvinced it's why we haven't conceived yet he wants to bd all the time!

AJC...get that eggie gurlie!!!

plc1805...I have already said it BUT I'm just so stinkin' happy for you!!! Stay as long as you like...but you have to promise to try and relax and enjoy...

Everyone else...

It's been quite some time since I jumped online and it sucks to see that this thread is still going. I wish one day I would come in here and everyone had fallen pg and no one else had suffered a MC ~ what a nice day that would be. We are still TTC hopefully this month is the month for us. I have been so moody and aggitated since loosing our bubba and I don't mean to take it out on DH, but unfortunately he is bearing the grunt of my emotional and hormonal rollercoaster . . . . . when will it settle down!!!???!!!

seenabeen - sometimes it does seem like a rough rollercoaster, can only assure you that slowly it does seem to be a little better. It's not something you can ever forget, but it will make you stronger, Unfortunately our DH's or DP's seem to take the brunt of all our emotions.

I've got the same wish - that no-one else will have to join this thread and the mods can close it down and I really don't like to see new names in here, but am glad that they have found us, as this type of support makes it easier for all of us.

:hug: for you, take a deep breath and remember we are here for you at any time. Hope this is your month (and all of us still TTC) so I'm throwing some more :pink-babydust::bluedust: around so we can all catch some.

For the rest of you with BFP's - here's some :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: while we sit back and watch you all get FAT bellies.

smilanatu--Tried the place you mentioned and it still gave a range of dates that were fertile, but was able to actually pinpoint an O day! :woot: Looks like I should O next on May 17, but fertile 14-18. It's cool, too, b'cuz I put in date from AF in Mar. and it showed me that I O'ed on the day this month that I had the watery CM! Coincidence? I think not! :lol: Obviously I know that it's an approximate, but it's nice to actually see a day that says O! Thanks for the tip, even though I'm sure it was unintended!


seenabeena--:pray: this will be your month! I know how you feel about being moody and agitated, I've been the same way since the m/c. I've even noticed I have much less patience for my kids :( It's a tough hand we were all dealt, and it just takes time to get all those emotions under check. I'm sure your DH understands how rough things have been for you, and that it will get better as time goes by. :comfort: Glad to see you're back!

just wanted to splash around some

and :goodluck:

Hey guys - thanks again so much for ur good wishes - much appreciated!! It's only been 2 days since I found out and I'm already doing my head in that I don't "feel" anything. D-day is 20 May when we have the u/s to see what's what - only 2 and half weeks away.....:rolleyes:

Thanks so much Trac for ur lovely words - i pray that u get to enjoy and relax into ur pg very soon. I really appreciate ur support.

Thanks Jenushka & Emmy-lou for ur kind words - I really hope that the TWW just flies and u get an answer very soon (a positive one that is!!) - GL!!

Thanks too megsmum - hope u have a lovely lovely time in Singapore away from everyday life and hpts!!! GL hun!!

jen - I'm glad u got an answer even if it was AF - at least u know where u stand. Re FF, I have absolutely no idea what is going on - can you contact anyone via the website to ask? Yeah - this baby mama (lol) is ok - just doing the stock standard over-play of thought about all things early pg. Just gotta let go and let be....

canary - how u doin sweet? I'm glad that "woot" was clarified too - might use it myself!!! ooohhh how nice having a facial!!! good for u!

smilanatu - oh honey thanks so much!! hope ur gearing up for ur bd fest soon!!!

seenabeena - oh sweet!! I understand the crabbiness and moodiness - take heart that ur not alone with those feelings. I so :pray: that this is a positive cycle for u!!!

thanks mollycat - ur a real champ for sending those sticky vibes - hope ur doin ok, sweet :hug:

AJC - hope ur ok sweet! GL with catching the egg!!!

Hey to everyone else - hugs to you all!!

Emmy-lou! seems like "o" happened on the same day for us - how's that for cycle buddies! Double :crossfingers::crossfingers: for us. Just reaching for the fast forward button on the remote for this 2ww!

AJC - babydust very welcome .... here's some more to top up supplies :pink-babydust::bluedust:

Jen - you are such a champ! I know it must have been hard having the wacky cycle and a little disappointing getting AF but your positive attitude keeps everyone's spirits up. Thank you!

smilinatu I love this group as well! It makes me smile...

hi and :hug: to jen, mollycat, seenabeena and canary and anyone else out there

afm - I have the m/c follow up appt with my ob tomorrow morning where we may be able to find out why we lost bub (if they were able to do pathology). Even though I know it will bring closure, am still feeling a bit nervy about it. I think because I have to revisit it all again? Its only been 7 weeks but feels like longer in my mind... ah well... will make sure I am very kind to myself tomorrow whatever happens.

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello to all.

Im just plodding along at the moment, waiting out the TWW :rolleyes: I went to have a shower this morning and was shocked to see that my nipples were brown!!!! (sorry if tmi) They are usually pink so it was a bit of a shock to see them this dark. Then I had a shower, got out and looked again and they seemed to be back to normal. Must have just been cold before I got in ;);)

Anyway, everything seems to be the same as other months at the moment. BB's are getting very sore and heavy, but thats pretty typical in my cycles. So nothing really very interesting to report other than that weird scratching feeling I had on the inside of my uterus the other day, which I felt the night before I m/c a few months ago. At least I know that this time it isnt a m/c as Im only a few days past ov! So thats it for me, feeling very relaxed at the moment so thats a nice change.

Hope you are all well. Sorry for not posting personal msg's to everyone, I dont have long on here today :redface:

GL to everyone bd'ing - hope you catch the eggies! To those waiting in the TWW - I hope the wait turns into a happy and healthy 9 months for you all, and to those who have found success - wishing you a healthy a happy pg and loads of :goodluck::goodluck::stickyvibesgirl:: for you all.

Issy

plc-- Crossing fingers for you for your May 20 u/s--you're going to get the best b-day gift ever, just a couple days late! :pray: for you to just relax and enjoy. Remember it's still early, so don't worry about not "feeling" or seeing anything just yet, it'll happen!


jenushka-- Good luck at your ob appt. today! :pray: this brings you closure even though I know it will be tough to rehash it all! Take extra special care of yourself today, and remember that we're all here for you! Thanks for the kind words about AF--although of course I'm disappointed, it makes no sense to have a bad attitude about it, it won't change things! So I'll just hang out here with all my new friends relishing in other's BFP's until I get one of my very own! We're all in this together! :grouphug:


issy--Hoping and praying you come out of the 2ww with a BFP!

AFM...DF works at a water treatment facility and found some baby ducklings at his shop yesterday. Brought them home for safe keeping last night since there are lots of cats that hang out around there. Woke up first thing to 8 LOUD peeping chicks. One went awol this am, but was able to chase it down! DS keeps asking if we can keep them! There's just no way--I have enough on my plate at the moment without adding 8 baby ducklings to it, although they are very cute--they're just too loud!

Jen805 that is so funny about the baby ducklings. Very cute to have around now, but not when they grow into ducks!

Thanks for all your replys it's sad that u are all here on this journey, but I am glad to know that i am not alone in my moodiness.
