Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss #3 May '08

[AJC]

jen - I would say that you are about to O. I don't read into CM too much, I rarely have EWCM - mine is creamy most of the time. Not too sure about CP after babies but mine is always very low & harder when pg. Althought once I get a +hpt I try not to poke and prod myself too much (am sure ob will do enough of that during u/s next week). Go grab DH &

mesgsmum - . Hope you get good prog results tomorrow from your BT. It's hard not to stress. I'm worried because my symptoms are different to last time - but if they were the same I would be worried that I will m/c again because they're the same!??!?
Hope you don't need to plan for next month because you'll have your BFP. and thanks again. I feel alot better now.

[jen805]

Hey AJC, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. So if on CD26 I still haven't O'ed, there's not much chance of getting pg this cycle is there, doesn't that make it too short of a LP? I still feel pretty calm, even though all the questions may make it seem like I'm not--it's really just that I want to understand what's going on with my body right now. One more question-- if I remember correctly, you take Vit. B6, right? (Hope I don't have you confused with someone else, sorry if I do!) Just bought some today and was wondering if I could start taking it right away, or if I should wait until the start of my next cycle? Thanks again, I really appreciate all the help!

[nicjay]

Thanks AJC, I'm feeling pretty confident about the prog levels at least And our FS is great, we have a lot of faith in him. At least these last couple of months have helped us feel like something is being done to identify what our problem (actually the problems are all mine, not DH but that's another story) is.

I do know how hard it is not to stress, I will be exactly the same as you are when I am pg again and yep I'll be worried about a m/c if the symptoms are the same as last time too!! Makes perfect sense to me. I just wanted to try and reassure you about the boob thing though - for me having sore BBs won't be any reassurance that everything is OK KWIM? M/S on the other hand will be (and again I know this isn't the case for everyone) because I had it bad for about 8 weeks with DD and only very mildly with the last pg and it went away altogether by about 9 or 10 weeks (which was round about when our bub died )

Glad you are feeling a bit better

[AJC]

jen - b6 did wonders for me! I started taking 100mg (on top of the already 50mg in my pre-pregnancy vitamins) on about cd3. If you O on cd26 then you might just have a really long cycle. I have found that charting my cycle is the best way to work out where things are at. It's a pain in the butt but it sure makes timing bd easier. You never know - just because you have a longer cycle doesn't mean you can't fall pg. if you bd at the right time then you have every chance.

megsmum - I've never had m/s ever. I have felt a little yuk a few times this time round but not even close to throwing up or anything. Most of the times it just feels like I've eaten too much. It's sort of a cross between af and being really busting to P. Makes such a difference when you have faith in your doc doesn't it. DH and I are so confident with our ob - he's done sooooo many tests for me so hopefully we'll be third time lucky. He removed a polyp late last year and I've read lots of different stories about m/c or failure to implant because of this then most go on to have a healthy pg. Thanks so much for the support. That's half the reason I don't think I'm ready to go on to PAML yet, i really want to be here to support and encourage you guys because you guys have got me through some of my worst days.

[Jodsan]

Hey Jen - I noticed that my cervix changed shape a bit after DS, it's more of a slit now, rather than round. I just need to catch up on where you're at cos' I haven't been here. Did you have any O pains or any other indicator of O? When is AF due?

[issy02]

Hi ladies,

Sorry I havent posted for a while, been so busy with work its been nuts!

Anyway, so much chatting has been going on that I cant remember everything and I dont think I could possibly catch up, so...i might leave the personals for now until I get back into the flow of conversation here, sorry

Im pretty sure I am ovulating or have ovulated in the last 2 days. I have been so bloated and have had some pain coming from my left ovary, which is a good sign for me. Also had a lot of watery CM, and a small bit of EWCM yesterday. DH and I have been bd'ing a lot, just for fun actually (I forgot I was ov, work has definately distracted me, I dont even know what cd im on at the moment, will see it when i post this i suppose )

Hope we caught the eggie but not really feeling like this will be our month. Still feel a little bit like 'its just never going to happen', but i wont give up...as my friend said to me the other day,

'dont turn your back on faith and hope, you just never know when the heavens will be smiling down on you...you dont want to miss it do you?'

for all you very special ladies,

Issy

[bettyboop]

fingers crossed for everyone in the TWW
i am waiting to 0 thought i had but temp went back down , i have a scan tomorrow see what my lining is doing and BT.

[tina_k]

hello girlies
betty: hope your doing ok, good luck with tests tomorrow
issy: he he, sounds like your making the most of o time, enjoy by the way, that was a beautiful quote, thank you
AJC: please try yo not be stressed out and just enjoy being pg, i know its hard, but its not fair that we lose the joy of being pg, i know when i get thare id love to try not to stress and enjoy it...easier said than done huh!
jen: fingers are still crossed fofr u
mm: holidays? no fair!!!!!!

everyone else: those in the 2ww, praying it goes quickly, and you get to see that wonderful BFP., those waiting to o, have fun catching those eggies , and to those who are carrying wonderful little gifts from God, enjoy every moment

AFM, well, i had a full weekend, with a friend here to visit from Sydney, so we did shopping, shopping, and more shopping! Then, off to work this morning, and my car brakes down, so i instead spent a very angry day at the dealers waiting for it to be fixed!
So i think im on CD 13 now, but who knows when im gonna ovulate, as my last cycle was 39 days! Im off to Sydney on Wed for 4 days (ie CD 15-18), so im pretty sure well miss Mrs Egg this month unfortunately, but i guess, never say never!

[Abbey B]

Hi ladies.

Hope you are all doing well. Im so sorry i dont have time to do personals at the moment but i hope that there is lots of BDing going on and people are catching that eggie

AFM, my OH and i are about to start the BD fest for the next few days. Havent noticed any CM lately though so im not sure if im going to Ov when im supposed to. Have held out on BD since AF finished so hopefully OH will be in the mood for quite a few days ALso, might be TMI, but i have noticed a slight smell coming from my bagina (LOL) which smells similar to semen. Its weird, i clean properly and wipe right and its all generally non smelly down there but now i have this smell which smells like after sex smell but i havent had sex for 2 wks.. anyone? suggestions? its not itchy or sore or anything like that either..

[jenushka]

Hello lovelies,

Abbey - Enjoy the bd fest as much as possible and gl catching the eggie. Sorry, can't offer any helpful suggestions on the "odour" - if it continues though and is still a worry then maybe a trip to the doctor?

Tina - Sorry to hear about the car troubles. Have fun in Syd and hopefully you would have been able to catch the egg before you go...

bettyboop - gl with the scan and test tomorrow,I hope you get some answers... let us know how you get on

issy - sorry that it feels like this won't be your month... I think sometimes because we are so intent on it happening for us each month it can take on a very "unreal" aspect - like it can never really happen for us. Good to hear that you are still staying strong and that you've had some nice encouraging o signs. gl for this month

AJC - great to hear that you're not scarpering off from ttcaml just yet! It is very encouraging to have you around and I'm so glad that this thread has continued to give you support. Not long now until you will get to see that lovely flickering jellybean on the scan! Here's some

jen - How great would it be if our bellybuttons lit up when we ovulated! (lol) Like AJC said you could still get pg if you o on day 26, you will then prob just have had a long cycle. My understanding is that the length of time before you o can vary widely between women, but that once you o, your "luteal" phase will almost always be 14 days (normal range for luteal phase length is 10-16 days). Sounds like the b6 is a good idea if your concrned. It is in my preggie vitamin I take right throughout my cycle - I'm sure it can't hurt taking it now? Thanks for the advice re "keeping it interesting" (lol) - dh has been enthusiastically downloading various "movies"... hey whatever works right?! Are you going to test in a few days? You are being such a cool cat and an inspiration to all the 2ww'ers!!

megsmum - gl with your fs appt and tests too..

jodsan - Glad to hear the juice/salad/vegie fast went well and gl with all the studying...

plc and mmteacher - bellyrubs and


afm - having some very encouraging "almost" o signs- lots of cm, and had a neg but very close to +opk this afternoon. So I reckon its prob o day wed (a couple of days earlier than normal). I've given dh and I the night off tonight in lieu of mega bd fest over the next few days... see you all when i come back up for air ( - lol)

and everywhere...

[jenushka]

Me again!

This is something else I've come across....for those who have not yet seen this site, it is very informative and makes me giggle - always very good to know that there is someone out there more poas obsessed than me!

[Acria]

Just a quick one ladies. So much giong on it's hard to keep up and do personals! Or maybe I'm just lazy

My symptoms are still the same, which is a relief. I'd be so disheartened if my BBs stopped hurting. I told my boss today that I thought I was pg, as I really trust her and we can chat. She's dead excited and wants me to test, but I'm trying to hold out until Sunday when AF is due.

I don't have a whole lot of news to report, but wishing all you girls coming up to O time lots of luck and fun Baby-dust and sticky vibes for all!

Jodsan--Thanks for getting back to me! Ok, no noticeable indications of O this month--did have some very light cramping for a couple days, but it was all over my abdomen, not just on one side. Also no watery CM. Last cycle I O'ed on CD18, and had watery CM (which I had never gotten before at O--don't think I ever noticed a change in CM until last month). So my chart said I would O on the 17th again this month, which after last month, I though would be spot-on. Haven't had any watery CM this time around. Also last month I had O pains on my left, so I thought I might have them on the right this time around, but again, nothing. Just checked again, cervix still very high and soft, still feels slightly open to me, and creamy CM. Thanks so much for trying to help me figure this out! Oh, AF due on 3o-31st.

Will be back soon for more persies!

[jen805]

AJC--Thanks again for your help! So glad you decided to stay for now, can't imagine what it would be like here without you! Took my first B6 last night, but only took one 50mg pill--should I be taking 2 like you do you think? Also still taking prenatals, and was surprised to see there was no B6, so then I probably should take 2/day, right? I guess it couldn't hurt anyway. Thanks again! Sending big cyberhug!


issy--Way to go BD'ing for fun! It's much easier when you're distracted, isn't it?


bettyboop--Good luck with O, BT and scan! :fingerscrossed: for you!


tina--Aahh, retail therapy is great, isn't it? Have fun in Sydney-- you don't miss that egg!


jenushka-- Yes, a light-up belly button would be a perfect indicator! Or maybe a sign on your forehead that says "O in progress"?! Glad to hear you're having some "almost O" signs, good luck for Wed.! I'm that DH is enthusiastically downloading movies--we were lucky and found a free site online, so no worries about d/loading, we just watch whatever ones look interesting. Really cool because you aren't limited to 1 or 2 movies, there's literally thousands to choose from! Again I sound like a spokesperson for the adult film industry! Lol... don't forget those toys! Oh, and don't forget to come up for air!


Abbey--Have fun with your fest! C'mon little go catch that egg!


Acria--Glad to hear your symptoms are hanging around--good sign! You're being so about it, so patient... I feel more anticipation for you to test than for me! lol...


Hay smilanatu--:woot: for Memorial Day! No work! No school! No crappy Monday to deal with! How's things going girl? Hope things are well with you and your sweetie!

morning all

hey jen- you are a champ for doing that list. i couldn't believe how many BFP's we've had in such a short space of time, it really hit me that we are all going to get there, it will just take some time.

i guess you can add me to the TWW now, am pretty sure am about to o any second now...am exhausted because we have been BDing like crazy for the last 6 days, i always seem to o on CD19 but for some reason i get scared i will o early so i start early and wear myself out (not to mention DH). anyway, next month i will hold out a bit longer!last night and today i have felt some o pains on both sides, have watery CM and my temp took a dive. so i got one more crazy session in and now i am going to relax! DH is cute though, he says we are going to keep going every day for the next week just in case- at least it might keep me distracted from going crazy in the TWW!

i have been out of action for a few days so need to catch up on all the posts before doing personals- just want to send a big to all, hope everyone is doing well.

Extension Update - the builders moved out yesterday YAY. They'll be back in to do a few little things, but all the spare timber and building stuff has been taken away. The room is ready to paint (we just have to find a spare hour or two). The new laundry/bathroom still has to be tiled - which is happening on Wed, then the plumbers will be back. The electrician came in yesterday and we have power and lights. SO, mostly finished with just a few more details to do. Should be done by the weekend.

AFM - still don't know where i'm up to, have appoint with gyno on Thurs, so will get the results of bt then and try to find out what my body is up to.

Jen - I love your list (look at how many BFP's we have on this thread).
PBStar - all the best catching that egg.
Betty - good luck with that scan today, hoping it will show the big O is about to happen for you.

[plc1805]

JEN HONEY YOU ARE LEGENDARY!!!! The only complaint i have about ur list is that u r not on it!!!!
