Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage/Loss #2- June 2009

:pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust:

Coco- see I knew you would have :lol: I really hope the faint faint line gets stronger for you babe. :bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust:

The cat place sounds great. My little princess goes to a lovely place too, its cats only and she has her own room and garden (they even have air conditioned palaces but I think I'll wait till she's a bit old and crotchety before I splash out that luxury on her she's spoilt enough as it is.) Like the picture, though I thought it was going to be of kittens with bubbles on their whiskers, sounds very cute.

Nothing on my OPK again so If I'm going to o looks like we are headed for another cd25 one.

hi everyone
i introduced myself 2 weeks ago and got a message to join this thread so here i am. i have had a quick read and there is lots to be positive about. i will soon get to know you all.
KM1 - massive congrats to you! Awesome!:clap: I have read so much you were the only one i could remember!
i am in my fertile period (well we just do the day 10 thing onwards) so it is busy at home. dh works shift work and i work day and most nights (mortage broker) so its hard to do the every second day thing but we are doing our best. i have never bothered with temps ect. i did buy maybe baby and never used it. should i? trying to do the mucas thing.
i have a lot of bubbas around me at the moment and i just love it. it gives me hope. the precious miracle of life. thanks for everyone on this site. just sitting here reading about you all is amazing. it makes me feel so normal. i look forward to joining in on your journeys....:p

:welcome: zstar - This is a wonderful forum to be a part of. Hopefully your stay here is only short. The BFPs are coming quickly here this month so hopefully yours will be here soon too. I have a maybe baby but it doesnt always work. But give it a go. I use mine first thing in the morning and again at night and usually leave it to dry a little longer than the directions tell you too. I have found temping a great way to really know you have ovulated. Good luck on your TTC journey and i look forward to getting to know you too.

:welcome: zstar how are you. Hopefully your stay here is short and you get BFP very soon. I also have never done the temps or the ovulation kits but have used the maybe baby a couple of times and dont think its very accurate. Depending on how long it takes for me to conceive though i may start the temps and all that stuff, just have to see what happens.
Coco love the picture, a nice thing to do i think.
Sunbeam i agree about the good things coming in 3s we will def have another :bfp: in here shortly, i can just feel it haha.
Anyway night all, talk in the morning

welcome zstar, sorry u had to join us under such sad circumstances, but i hope u get ur sticky bfp and forever baby soon.
All the ladies here are very warm and loving.

hey
maddison - i have been thinking about temping for a while now. there is a lot of talk on it here. i will go and by a thermometor in the morning and give it a go. my alarm goes off in the morning and before i know it i have brushed my teeth so the maybe baby just wasn't for me. if i leave the thermo beside my alarm clock that should work. i will read up on temps tomorrow. don't know anything.
eliselouise85 - as you can see i am going to give temping a go. just feel like i should be doing something else to try and track when i am o. we are doing the business from day 10 to around day 24. i really thought i would have fallen pg the first cycle i had after m/c. i guess when it works once you think it will work again. we have just reached the year mark and i'm 34 soon and starting to get nervous. i really want to have 2 kids and don't want to be too far over 35. all those extra stats on complications do my head in!
anila - i noticed in your signature you have written daddy misses you deeply. just had a conversation with dh today and was saying how i was sure july was our month and his response shocked me. he said he wasn't going to get excited and was going to proceed with caution after the m/c. he wasn't himself. made me realise how hard he took the m/c. he is the rock in the realationship so he wouldn't have had time to be down - he was too busy keeping me afloat. my thoughts go to your dh.
thanks for all the replys gals. i still get a bit gob smacked when someone replies. it is so helpful. i don't feel alone now at all. massive! :dance::grouphug:

Hello BB Buddies

Welcome zstar you are definately not alone, this is an amazing group of women so I hope you find the support you need here and that your stay is short.


I tried maybe baby for a while but found it pretty inaccurate, temping is definitely the easiest way to go if you get up around the same time each day. I have also just started using ovulator predictor kits which you can get pretty cheap on the net and I've found them very accurtate especailly if timing is an issue.

KM1- I hope you are begining to feel more relaxed and happy with you BFP.

Hope everyone had a good day.

im having a few wines and trying to relax.

zstar..
hun, u are most definatly not alone, that is what i love about this thread, we all understand how each of us may be feeling, yes most of our circumstances are different, but its all very much the same, in one way or another, we have lost something that our hearts so desperatly desire.

my hubby is such a wonderful dad, he is a stong man, but this loss, broke him. I know he is just as scared as me about seeing another bfp.

Evening my lovely ladie's

Sorry i havn't had much to say lately i just am so confused and stressed but my gorgeous man took me to darling harbour for the day we walked around went to a fancy place to have lunch and then he took me to this YUMMY chocolate place that had liquid chocolate to die for we had waffles with ice cream and strawberries covered in liquid chocolate soooooooooooooo good!! it was a great day it took my mind off our situation for a while which was good.

KM1-congratz on the bfp that is fantastic.

Juleswa-god what would we do without our phone's LOL

Maddison-what a great way to be very optimistic good on you.

Eliselouise-sorry to hear you had to have a D&C but i hope you feel better and get back to TTC soon.

Sunbeam-i hope you catch that egg this month my finger's and toe's are crossed for you.

Coco-i would like to avoid TTC until they are ready to start our ivf in oct because if we get pregnant with an effected baby we wont know until 12 weeks and that would put the ivf back till november if i fell pregnant now my DH dosn't want to use protection he just said dont do opk's or temp and we wont have sex on the days that im fertile but knowing our luck i would get pregnant and then we have to wait 12 very horrible week's when i think if we wait til oct and do the ivf with 2 healthy embryo's we have a good chance of 2 beautiful babies before the medicare rebate on ivf is changing in janurary so were not ttc just going to avoid fertile day's.

TinaR,Milly,Sunny,Anila,cherished,Delly,Zacsmum thinking of you all welcome Zstar

Anyway i'm off to bed i have to work in the morning

Welcome Zstar, sorry you have to be here but you are in the right place :)

Big thanks to everyone for their kind words, encouragement and support, it means a lot to me :)

Coco I love how you spoil your kitties, I have 2 as well and they are such a source of comfort, love em to bits. Where do you get cat bubbles from?

Ferals am glad to hear your man knows how to pick you up, he sounds wonderful. I am :pray: you get a good outcome soon.

AFM I am still very nervous and if anything getting more so every day, I think because I know I am approaching the timing of my mc..and I am analysing every bodily symptom like a loony! Will definitely keep you all posted- i have made a docs appt for next wednesday (didnt want to rush- if it doesnt work out again I kinda feel like I'd rather not have seen anyone about it...had bad expereince last time with docs etc)

Km1

Just from the pet shop here in newcastle..They are called kitty incredibubbles hehe they taste like peach :D Im sure DH is annoyed at all the "popped" bubble film on the carpet, but it rubs out hehe

Congratulations to KM1. It's great news!

AFM - I'm reading the posts each day but I don't really have all that much to add. I'm about 8 DPO but my doctor didn't want me to try for a baby until I had been through one cycle so it was very frustrating to let that pass without TTC. I'm cautiously waiting AF. One of my problem is that I ovulate very late. It's why I think I lost the last baby - often a late ovulation produces a poorer quality egg. So AF should at least hold off until the weekend, possibly even a day or two longer to give me a chance at conceiving again.

Question ladies...

Is 10dpo much to early to expect a bfp with fmu using pregnow tests? they test for 10miu/hcg....

Also, I read the hcg levels chart and am only 3 weeks into my cycle today and the suggested levels are 0-5... So would that mean that my hcg will be a little lower so early in the cycle? IF I were to be pregnant? I ovulated really early this time..

Coco- I got my BFP (an extremely faint BFP) at 11dpo and laso had a blood test that day to confirm it. Im pretty sure the test I used was a prennow test, but it still may not show up. I know I had ovulated on day 14 as Id been having bloodtests to check Id ovulated for sure!
Good luck hunny, I think about you often and as you can see I still lurk in here!!!

To everyone else - I was very active in this thread a few months ago and just wanted to bring you some hope. After TTC for quite awhile with NO ovulation and cycles that were 60-70 days and a missed miscarriage, Clomid became my miracle drug in Jan. After my D&C in Oct I didn't get my af back. The doc put me on the mini pill for a week to induce af so that I would shed my lining and then the clomid tabs started which made me ovulate and here I am now at 25 weeks.
I don't want my story to upset any of you but I lurk in here daily and think back to the things I used to write about how frustrated and upset I was feeling and the things you girls write mirror me!
I wish you girls all the best in your journeys and know you all deserve to be mothers and you WILL be the best mothers that are on this earth as you will never take it for granted! lots of hugs and baby dust...

Hi all!
Erybery!!! Great to hear from you! Not long now im guessing for your little one to arrive??? Have you picked any names?
Goodluck to all te testers this week, and YAY for the BFP's!
Welcome back to Cherished, dont you dare go anywhere lovely lady!

AFM: Just chilling, not thinking about TTC as much, hence why im not lurking as much.:p I hope it pays off for me like before :pray: an easter bubby for my birthday would be awesome (but im not expecting anything!)
I heard last night that a girl I went to school with that is now a recovered Drug addict is 6 weeks prg, and a 16 yr old at work is pregnant with dichromatic twins after miscarrying in March! It all seems unfair, but I need to realise to stop worrying and comparing myself. My mother had trouble conceiving me (her first) so im guessing im going to struggle a bit too. For someone that is just chilling it doesnt sound like it much, but I am really! :clap:

Hi Honey,

I have no idea what those numbers mean :doh: sorry But on the upside I have figured out how to write a message :p

Hello lovelies :hello:,

I hope everyone is having a good day. I have been walking the last 3 mornings and did an evening walk too and it is so helping to clear my head. Where i go is so gorgeous and I even get to see kangaroos if I'm early enough, magic stuff for an ex pom. I'd like to be doing it just because it's fun but after I weighed myself this morning it is now for exercise too, I have to lose some weight I've never been this heavy in my life.

sunny-I think not thinking about TTC is a great way to go. My last pg I was not temping or using OPKs and we had no even planned to try that month so it worked for me.

eryberry- so glad you dropped in. I am always glad to hear of people who have successful pgs with clomid as it may be my last resort if I can't keep o'ing regularly by myself.

coco- cd10 may well be too soon babe even for an early pg test some people don't get a bfp until very late on but keep testing I have a really good feeling about it :D :crossfingers:

sammyp- I know waiting TTC is hard I hope the time flies by and you are in the TTW before you know it. I o late too but have been less worried about it since I looked at late o pgs on ff and one lady o'ed on cd65 and still had a healthy bub. My o's seem to be later since I took clomid last year but are never before cd17 and often not till cd25.

KM1- I'm sorry you are still stressing but I totally understand. Can you find fun things to take your mind off it for a while?

ferrrals- the chocolate place sounds like my kind of heaven :p.

Okay trying not to get too excited :leap: right who am I trying to kid :lol: my OPK was darker today and came up much quicker so I'm calling donor dad tonight for a morning visit, really hope my little egg is coming :pray:
