Trying To Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss #3 August 2008

smi--Glad your DS is enjoying high school! When I ask my DS about school, all I get is "it's fine", or "I don't know".... he's such a bundle of information nowadays! :rolleyes: I wholeheartedly agree--Teenagers! You don't even need to say more than that! lol...



mollycat--That's funny... you're saying "many, many, many years ago" about riding on the bus... that's the true test of how old you are.... you know you're old when you have to say something like "back in my day they didn't even have the bus... I had to walk to school for 2 miles in the snow...." You took the bus, so see, you're not as much of a nana as you think! ;)

:woot: for O pains!!! I'm praying you'll have a successful O without the meds! :crossfingers:



Ruthie--Aww, hon, hope your back pain/cramps go away soon! Take care of yourself! Sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl:



Rachel--You're still typing quite well... I think you need another drink! Have one for me! Hope you enjoy the remainder of your trip, sounds like you're having a blast! Be safe! :hug:



larz--Official Congrats on your BFP!! :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:

Happy hump day ladies!

Let me first say OMG I AM SOOO HORNY!!! Whew had to get put out there :lol:
I think it's because I am partnerless.

Anyway moving on...tut :dance: glad everything is moving along nicely for you!

Rachel...WOW...:rofl: is drunk typing anything like drunk dialing? Have you guys ever done that?

Have a wonderful day gurlies! The weather is perfect here...71 and sunny...just beautiful!

jenushka--Sorry to hear you're feeling so down... :( I hope your friend succeeds in picking up your spirits. I think you should definitely talk to your doc about the antidepressants--it's always good to hear all your options. I've used them in the past, and they helped considerably! You have to do what you have to do to keep going strong--you really are a trooper, even if you don't realize it!

Sending some extra mega trooper vibes... little smilies dressed in white storm trooper suits (we've been using the Star Wars theme quite frequently lately!)

Keep us posted on how things are with you, hon... don't forget that we're here for you! :hug:



Babyfever--Good luck with the new meds... sorry, I can't offer you any advice on which is better. You should ask your doc about the B6, tho--it helped me O earlier--and Easha was having probs with her LP being too short, and she got great results in just one cycle! I'm surprised he went straight to inducing O before trying the B6 first! Whatever works the quickest, I guess, right? Good luck!



Krystie--You need the wand to make the wig magically look great! :doh: Hey, those BD stats are looking great! ;)



WTH--Glad to hear you enjoyed the acupuncture, hope it helps! Hope you have a great weekend away--be safe! :hug:



tutmae--Congrats on your u/s and seeing that beautiful little :heartbeat: again! :cheer: It has to bring some huge peace of mind!

Please--bring on the Hulk stylee!! :lol: I'm sure you're a terrible fright with your karate skills and that spitfire attitude--I'm shaking just thinking about it! Your karate is no match for my kung fu (my DS says this in his best Asian accent!)

I ll have to catch up with everyone tomorrow... I just couldnt go to bed without posting for jenushka ......

Hun.... you have seen me post this before, unfortunately too many times because it happens too many times.... but I m going to do it again for you.

Anti Depressants may or may not be the answer... i m not a Doctor... and I cant see what state you are in.....

What I can tell you is dont try and be tough.... Allow every emotion to be... Be cranky.. yell scream... be frustrated.. thump your hands on your desk.. punch your bed or a punching bag... scream and scream from the bottom of your gut.. get it out.....Cry until you think its not possible to have any more tears... allsorts of crys... ugly crys.. sobbing crys....Dont expect to much from yourself... Talk to DH.... let him know that you need his help... that you need him to be strong if he can be because you need to not be strong for a bit so you can deal with it..... and mourn hun.... allow the greif... allow the the pain... DONT go through the paces day to day and hope to just keep yourself busy until it all goes away... because hun.. it doesnt go away.... Time is the only healer... and time can only be helped by you being true to your emotions....and allowing them.... Go to your boss... take some time off work if you can... slop around at home in your Jammies.... stay in bed sobbing covered in blankets with a pile of tissues next to you..... do what ever you have to do hun.. but dont cover anything up... just allow it all to be.....

Huge hugs to you hun... I m thinking of you all the time... :hug:

smilanatu--You don't need a partner to take care of those needs! ;) Check out Adam&Eve, they have a great variety of "stuff" that's sure to get the job done! :lol:

afternoon from LANZAROTE on our last day folks. I am about to start packing in a moment. I have just read back and I think it may well be drunken typing, althuogh this keyboard is hard to write on as its not ?normal?...
As for aunt flow, well this is the thing because (get ready for a long explanation)... I had my period on JULY 27TH... So thats a long time ago..
However I had a lap-dye on Aug 5th so that technically makes it possible to have delayed my period.. although he said it shouldnt do... this is where Im confused!

I have no sticks to pee on here except ovulation sticks, which were dark on first week and we were like... well rabbits... so Im confused... not sure where in my cycle I am. Im not getting hopes up though as its first cycle since instruments went into me and my scars still arent healed... one is really sore!!!

As for BD.. nout like a holiday for it is there girlies? The beach... the balcony.. the pool... nightclub... YEAH its been a busy fortnight!


Hope you are all ok and I will speak to yuo from MY OWN LAPTOP AT HOME (CANT WAIT NOW) tomorrow night! With my basset hound on my feet and a cup of ovaltine and the TV for company! cant wait!!!

also my siggy is wrong, im not on day 4 of my cycle.. im 4 days late!

jen...the toys are making it worse!

Rachel...4 days late? POAS!!!

Larz- I pray all goes super duper on your next u/s!!! Can't wait to hear good news from you momma!! God luck!! ♥ cheers to a H&H 9 months and pregnancy!!!!

Tutmae- Congrats momma!!!:clap: I'm so happy you and baby are ok. ♥ you too...cheers to a H&H 9 months and pregnancy!!!!

Jenushka- I hope you feel better. I know how it is to feel "blue" I was there for 3 years.
unfortunately I had to keep myself busy and my mind so I wouldn't do anything stupid.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.♥

To all my girlies...

Well the cramping continued last night.... I tossed and turned.. but unlike when I miscarried, the pain was only in my lower back. I remember as if it was today when I m/c I cramped really bad in cervix area, abs and lower back.

So today like at 6AM ( I know the time cuz hubby wakes up @ that time to go to work) I noticed I was PAIN FREE!!!!:dance:

I called the docs office to see if they can see me sooner than 12 weeks for my peace of mind....
Wanna know what the receptionist said???
If you are not bleeding or in bad pain you are fine!! If a miscarriage is to happen it will happen no matter what you do!! :angry: those are not the things I want to hear!!!!!

What the heck??... I'm supposed to PREVENT it.. oh well. 3 weeks is not that far from now.
But Geez....

Anywho.. God is more powerful .. he gave me this gift.. I'm sure he is taking care of me and baby. :wink:

Can you believe these people???? I hate New Jersey Hospitals!!!!

So I have no other than to think positive and hope for the best. All I can do is pray! I know God is taking care of me and young baby.

If I don;t think positive, I think I would lose my sanity. So I have no other. So far I wipe and wipe and no signs of blood or goo or anything. So in a way it's good. The back pain today is gone. So I have no other than to relax, wait patiently, and think positive.

Wishing you all a great day and I hope Sept. brings the darn :stork-girl::stork-boy: to your homes!!! And that the baby is in YOU!!! LOL

Good luck girlies!!! :crossfingers: for you all.

L♥ve you all!!!:loveshower:

Ruthie

Rach- Lol, You been busy woman! Sorry you have no pee sticks :hug: I hope you go home to a BFP!!!!

Ruthie- :hug: I'm sorry there treating you like this, Seems like thats all people can say if its happining theres nothing that will stop it once its started. ****es me off! My dr told me same thing. This time I will be on progesterone when I get pregnant.

ATM- My AF FINALLY arrived after I already peed on a stick GO FIGURE!!! I'm so happy I called the OB's to let them know and to see if they could write a note for DH to come home a day early since the 5 day after last pill lands on sunday I need him home just incase that day is when I do O. Does anyone on here know how many days after there last induction pill that they O?? I have this nice calander for clomid users tell you when you should start ovulation testing so you dont get false + and when you should O after the last pill its nice, I really hope this works I will have to be monitored with Progesterone checking and stuff and probably will be put on them when I do fall pregnant. DH is on rubitussin 2tsp 4x a day because his semen is thick and the OB wants him to do it it thins it out, and hes on Fertility blend for his low sperm count. I also had to call the OB because day 5 after my last pill lands on Sunday that DH isn't home and he doens't get home till Mondays at midnight so I'm doing CD 4-8 now instead of 3-7..

Hi,

I have been lurking around the forums trying to figure out where I fit in. I think this forum I feel the most comfortable and have things in common. I have posted questions once or twice but have never been involved in a forum. Anyway to introduce myself this is my story.

I am 24 and DH 28. TTC for 1year and had two miscarriages both at 5 1/2 weeks. Went to FS at SIVF as they help find the cause of recurrent miscarriages. They found a sub septum in my uterus which was removed by laparoscopy and hysterocopy on the 31/08/08. My ovaries, tubes endometrium lining are all normal and my uterus is not bicornarute which is what they also thought.

I am now on premarin and provera to repair the lining of my uterus which I have been on for the last 29 days. 5 more days to go YEEPHEE cant wait to start ttc again.

My DH got is sperm test done and has a normal sperm count, motility and morphology. However has an increased level of DNA fragmentation <30 which is bad. Most couples with levels of 29% and above will either be infertile or suffer recurrent miscarriages.

The FS has put DH on vitamins (DH is taking benefit) to try and reduce the number of DNA fragmentation and we have an appointment on the 18/09/08 for another semen analysis.

I have had my first acupuncture appointment and now taking TCM to try and regulate my hormones as I have 37 day cycles.

Sorry about the long post. Didn't think it would be that long

Tam - welcome and sorry about your history, we have all been through the same thing and the girls in here are so helpful. I may be able to help with your long cycle. I am seeing an amazing herbalist who specialises in fertility. I had a 33 - 38 day cycle and she got me back to a 28 day cycle in just 5 weeks. I had an ectopic pregnancy in June and lost one of my tubes, I am now pregnant again, first try!

Herbalist is based in Coogee and has a 100% success rate with any women under 40 who have gotten pregnant before. Check out her website www.parentingnaturally.com.au I can't praise her highly enough, she will also work with your husband and monitor you through the whole pregnancy. Give her a call and discuss your situation I'm positive she can help you.:pray: for you.

Sorry, don't mean to pry. But sometimes you need more than traditional medicine. And she is very understanding and explains things in ways we can comprehend.

Tam-Hello and welcome the girls here are very supportive. I'm sorry to hear about your losses and the long year of TTC and not getting anywear. I hope that now that things are little bit more healthier down there you will be able to have a fast TTC journey to a BFP. Sorry to hear DH has some little problems hopefully the next SA comes out perfectly!! :hug:

Hi girlies,

Just wanted to pop my head in and let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I am just trying to limit my OCD with TTC and BB right now, so am staying clear. I am however keeping my blog up to date, if you're interested; and any of you are more than welcolme to email me at jcran75@eq.edu.au.

I am also going to try to make it along to the Sept Brisbane meet up, so hope to see any of you Brizzy girls there.

Take care - I do miss you all dearly, :grouphug: but need to settle down a bit.

:hug::hug::hug:

GL with your TTC and I hope by next month this thread is empty.

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

Just wanted to say a quick hello to Tam. I responded in one of your acupuncture threads, and I am so glad that you appointment went well! I'm also really happy that you found our little thread. It won't be too long and you'll wonder how you ever coped without this wonderful bunch of ladies! :hug:

PS. I have to give the thumbs-up to herbs too :) (although the taste is grossssssss!)
