Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss April/May 2010

TTCALC-gorgeous kiddies you will add one more to complete your brady bunch.

Crafty-i am in the same boat i use to be able to tell if i was pregnant or not no such luck now i have no clue just confusion anyway it's almost your Bday isn't it on wed i hope i got the day right.

Murrycod-good to hear about your test results not long now and you can start your cycle.

eliselouise-we can only hope.

AFM-went to the movies today with my sister and the whole time i had really bad period cramping my jeans made me really uncomfortable i think it is to much cramping to be pregnant maybe just hormones.

Hello all

Thanks eliselouise for thinking of us stuck in the TWW I guess you can remember just how sh*t it is ! Hope your ok and getting a little pot belly by now !

ferrals my belly feels so swollen couldn't get my jeans on for long today feels too uncomfortable and got a really bad pain in my right side shooting pain coming and going for the last few hours ! have to lie down to get releif DH is moaning that I should go to the GP but it will pass I am sure,
Boobs still sore when I prod but been prodding so much thats maybe why they sore :ROFL: My birthday is MONDAY and day 30 but don't think I have the courage to test too early maybe I got another 34 day cycle you never know with me ! I'm too chicken to test !

Hope you enjoyed the film I guess you got a pm from murraycod hope shes ok !

this time next week I will know the answer to the question is it a BFP or not ?

Crafty-i am laying here with a heat bag my cramping is like AF pain and pretty constant and my boobs are still really sore even laying on them hurts.
LOL i am to chicken to test to id rather not know and still have hope then be disapointed.
I watched clash of the titans pretty good and i emailed murrycod to see if she was ok and she got back to me from work so i am sure when she has time she will pop in.
I still have 6 days until i test it is driving me insane i can't possibly google any more on cramping or implantation pain or early pregnancy symptoms i don't get any sort of comfort from it just more guessing.

Hey ferrals !
Two old farts wondering !:ROFL: what a way to end up hey ! this time next week we will be really happy or really Pis**d off ! I will be there which ever way it goes for us !

:o can't beleive I just said that ( 2 old farts I mean )

Crafty-:ROFL:I know pretty funny hey you would think us being experienced mums and all we would know what we are doing and more importantly what our bodies are doing so lets show these young whipper snappers what us older chicks can do.

Oh! and i am there with ya all the way lets hope we get the same outcome so we can either ***** and rant and vent together or jump for joy into the BB thread together.

Oh i hope theres some good news in here this coming week! We want some BFPs!!!

Ferrals - are u sure u just arent constipated and have a build up of wind??! ;)
U poor thing not knowing whether u are or not, u wld be going insane.. especially since u dont have much on this weekend to keep ur mind occupied! hang in there. thinking of u.

T-hopes- ur right about everyone being a knowledgable bunch in here.. im so grateful! theres just some things on google u cant trust! :) Sorry to hear about ur DIL :(

millyd- why are u going to stop ttc next month?? good luck with this month :crossfingers:

matthews mum- thanku :)

ttca- it sounds like u have had a crazy few days!! congratulations on court case going well! im glad leighas bday went well!! ur pictures are great :D

craftmummy- ur symptoms sound very promising!! hurry up monday and testing!!!!

and hello to everyone else!! :D

Well i have been doing some googling research all day and have found a great website that u shld all have a look at! Welcome
It really makes me wonder if a lot of mc's cld have been prevented. Progesterone levels when u first fall pg arent usually one of the things docs test for when it really shld be according to the research i have been doing! Have a read of some of the ladies stories. Im not sure what my levels were before i fell pg or during but I know for sure when it happens again ill be asking for it to be tested.. my gyno wont know what hit him this next time around! ill be little miss educated!!!
I also have a question.. sorry if ur all getting sick of me! but am just wondering if any of u have tried false unicorn root?? ive been doing a bit of reading on it too and have found out that it may help to prevent mc in the first trimester.. i know im jumping the gun a bit but i wld rather be prepared this time!
I have also done my research on vitex ferrals and am just not sure if i shld start taking it when im already taking progesterone tablets?? and i will also be taking clomid in a couple days too.. so dont really want to go mixing it in... not sure tho?? I so wish i had started taking vitex straight after mc.. im kicking myself now but hey better late then never to find out hey.
Im freaking out a bit cos i have read to hold a healthy pregnancy ur levels have to be 16 or higher and since mine are only 3.8 its not a very good start.

Wow i sure have spent a lot of time googling today - a bit like u ferrals haha! i used to be addicted to facebook when i had spare time but i havent even opened it up today!

Anyway i hope ur all having a good weekend and not stressing too much.. if u can help it!! im hoping i wake up tomoro in a bloody mess (literally!! :rofl: ) so i can get this cycle happening!! xxx

:crossfingers: For all the girls with porno boobs, nausea, cramping and all the other maybe pregnant signs!

T-Hopes: sorry to hear about your FIL.

AFM: Finally got my positive OPK last night and after cramping all night and this morning the pain finally settled down (after having pains since Tuesday). I figure i must have laid one hell of a ginormous egg! lol So by tomorrow i guess i'm in the TWW. Phew that was hard work!! All the same, if i don't fall pg this month i might go to the dr to get checked out: i think 5 days of ovulation pain is a little extreme?

Hi to Alice, Murray Cod, Jellylove, Ami and all the others who have gone a bit quiet. Hope you are well. Sunbeam, sorry no BFP this cycle but good to hear you have a plan for moving forward. Loops, hope things are back on track soon, sorry for BFN. Porsche: sorry you are struggling: it really sucks when you have just had a loss and still bleeding and just want to be ready to try again. I hope the bleeding is finished soon. Hi to everyone else.

good luck everyone - can't wait to hear about your tests. Fingers crossed you all get your BFPs.

We've had visitors again today - my best friend and her husband and kids so really lovely but very tiring after a long week. You know what I love the best? Finding all the funny little things the kids leave around when they go. I got in the bath and there were two little plastic polar bears watching me - very funny. I have a cupboard full of toys and a little book case with books and colouring in things for them for when they come. They love running around the yard and chasing the chooks and collecting stones...ah, it's so fun.

TTCaLC - CONGRATULATIONS on the court case! And looks like Leigha had a great birthday. Oh boy I was so sad to read that she had never had one. Breaks my heart to think of kids going through that, if IVF doesn't work for us this time I think we'll look into fostering again. I just want this happy mess around the house all the time but I'm sure all of you mums reading this will roll your eyes and say no you don't!

Back tomorrow for a proper catch up.

Fingers crossed and love to everyone,

Alice x

PS Thanks Possum - had a busy few days away from home and visitors but ducking in to check up on you all when I can. All good here x

Thanks Everyone she did have a nice one..
Alice .. I hope youget you bub :) and i didnt roll my eyes i smiled :)


For you Ladies waiting to POAS GOODLUCK STICKY VIBES!! Im soo praying that you all get a BIG fat BFP!!!



Off to make lunch :)

Oh my beautiful ladies, I am sitting here bawling my husband has gone for a surf and would you believe you guys are the first I am telling.....
ITS A :bfp:!!!!!!
I cannot stop crying I am so grateful. I feel like my little angel is back and I have been praying up a storm lately, I just feel so grateful. Its good maybe that DH is not here, he'd be freaking out with all these tears.

Its BFP, I cant believe it. Also just as a side issue I tested at 10dpo with BFN, but today AF is due thats 12dpo and its BFP, faint but definite no question BFP!!! So hold on you ladies who like me go a little insane and test early with BFN xxx your BFP may be just a day or 2 away...

Love you all, I know its the start of a very positive month for all of us
xxxxxx

I will be back for persies and reading later when I can read the screen properly

Thanks Bons, I am counting the minutes til his return. He will probably be at least another hour. I was thinking of going to the beach to get him but then we will have to come back in seperate cars and that will just not do today!! :)
So I am thinking of some gigglingly fun to tell him....hehehe

Millyd-OMG! OMG! congratz hunny i am so happy for you and you made it in time before you hubby's cut off date.
I'm glad i read your post i am 10dpo today and was gonna poas but i won't do it i will wait.

Reet-no not constipated just feel like it.
Vitex is a natural herb to help balance out your hormones i wouldn't take it while taking progesterone tablets let them do there work 1st i know that in the 1st half of your cycle after AF starts your progesterone is supose to be low and mine was then is rises in the 2nd half until AF shows or pregnant sorry not much help i am an expert on estrogen levels and FSH levels LOL.

T-Hopes your next for a BFP.

Possum magic-yeh! for the tww NOT! i can't wait for it to be over.

AFM-Temp rise again to 36.9 i feel really hot now and my boobs are definately a swollen i am in two minds at the moment thank god i have to go to work this arvo to take my mind off it.

:grouphug::happyforyou::hooray::stickyvibesgirl::s tickyvibesboy::pregnant:

IM SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

I saw my chinese doc yesterday and she said that my pulse is slippery! I dont know what to think!! ?? My temp dropped to 36.70 today so i dont know if thats good or bad???!?!? Any thoughts Ferrals?!?!?

T-Hopes depends what it has been before today from a lot and i mean a lot of charts i have been looking at a lot of women have a little drop a day or 2 before a pos hpt if it was a big drop i have noticed some women have that a day or 2 before AF.

thanks Ferrals -it was 36.91 yest and today 36.70, im 11dpo today.... I god i hope im still in the running!!! im soooo scared!!!

T-Hopes-when are you testing i am getting anxious for you.

I have looked at my FF chart and compeared it to BFP charts and so far i am looking good i didnt think i had a dip after o but when i checked i had a nice little dip at 6dpo so i hope it was a implantation dip.
I still have no pms symptoms i usually get sooky and irratable and pretty high strung the week before AF is due and i feel really good apart from super sore boobs that wake me up during the night if i roll on them and last night had the worst cramping needed a heat pack and my back was acheing i really felt like AF would show but i am still 5-6 days away.
This wait is killing me this is the first month that i really feel positive i hope nothing changes in the next few days.
Girls keep your fingers and toes crossed for me and whatever else you can cross except your legs for the girls BDing right now lol.

T-Hopes that drop is nothing i'd say you are still in with a good chance

CONGRATULATIONS MILLYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :dance:

ah thanks ferrals - between you and my DH you have managed to relax me! I think i may test tomorrow.. i was going to test today, went to 3 different shops, busting for a wee and forgot everything was closed!

My fingers are crossed for you babe!!! You can do it!!! xx

T-Hopes-good luck for tomorrow you are number 2 i can feel it and crafty will be number 3

I am going to drag myself away from the computer for a while to have a shower and get ready for work i have been googling all morning my fingers are sore.

millyd-congratulations!!!!hugs to all.

T-Hopes - keeping everything crossed for you and praying that tomorrow morn it's a :bfp: announcement

Ferrals, T-hopes and Crafty, Im busting to know the results for you all, so glad you are feeling Positive Ferrals, I know how manic the TWW gets for us all!

Hugs to everyone else!

AFM- keeping quiet at home today, DH is coming down with something so he is huddled under a blanket on the lounge snoring :) Hope he gets better before the weekend!

xxx

Congratulations !!!! :hooray:
Millyd wow the first BFP this thread oh how I wish I dare test as you did, but I am soo scared to see one line again I would rather wait and see if AF turns up tomoro, plus I only have cheap ebay tests and they are not the best !

T-hopes I guess you testing next and then ferrals as I am chicken I am waiting till friday sorry but I just can't do it I really am too scared to test !

Still getting really bad pain in my right side and dreadful trapped wind I am thinking I have to go the GP this pain is so bad maybe apendix but not sick and maybe ectopic but no bleeding and not tested yet and then maybe gall stones OMG I am just a mess today !
Plus I got a really bad headache normally comes before AF I think Im out this month !

no your not crafty - your not out until AF shows keeping everything crossed for you as well

Congratulations Milly, that is so exciting! :hooray:
Send the rest of us your good vibes please sweetheart

Craftymummy- maybe you should go to the doctor if its getting worse, have you tried taking painkillers? I hope hope hope Af doesn't arrive tomorrow and you get the good news you want x

ferals and Thopes-hang in there :pray: not long now, just remember the longer you wait the more chance for 2 lines, when are your kittens arriving ferals?

Bons- hi, hope DH is feeling better soon and ready to do some BDing x

Porsche- I hope your around and doing ok

AFM- I had a rough day yesterday, with clomid side effects (hot flushes and dizziness), I was at work too so was glad to get home. Feel better today and have had my last tablet for the month so looking forward to doing some OPKs soon and getting on with :bd:
How am I going to do IVF if I can't even cope with the clomid side effects?
Hopefully we are on a roll with the BFPs and none of us will be here in a months time :pray:

evening everyone ,t-hopes-be watching for your post in the morning,best of luck..saffy-glad the clomid finished for you,do you take it at night(when i took it at night,i had less side effects),hope you get your bfp this cycle and there is no need for ivf but if so we will be here to help in anyway we can...craftymummy-it's not over yet for you this month,be waiting & watching friday's post...night all

CONGRATULATIONS MILLY!!!!!

Saffy, I suffered dizziness the 5 days I took clomid last month, hoping it only lasts for the 5 days you take it too X

Wow there are soooo many girls here with positive vibes this month!! I am praying for all of you :pray:

I had the flu inj on Friday, has the H1N1 in it this year, I felt comfortable getting it since I am not having any treatment this month. Arm is a little sore though!

Sorry been MIA for a few days, I have been called in for work on my days off, which has put me working 6 in a row, and I'm stuffed.

Got home thisafternoon and DH had a suprise for me.....he got two of the cutest kittens I have ever seen!! The boy is light ginger, and the sister is white, with the slightest ginger tinge!!
Oh they are soooo cute! I haven't had a cat since I lived with my mother........15years....OMG!!!!
DH usually hates cats, dunno why on earth he got them, never even spoke of the idea, and he has babied them all evening...im shocked!
Actually, so is my minature foxie, she wants to eat them.....

Ferrals, I have everything crossed for you babe, you deserve this so much.
My GF that had her Donor IVF transfer the other week got some sad news, didn't work again.
I have been out having chocolate cake with her thisavo after work. I really wanted her to be PG before me, dunno why, I would just feel more comfortable. I know she is strong, and will get there one day, but I just know I'm that little bit stronger if she can get hers first.
I will be so nervouse to tell her, if my cycle is a success next month since hers again was not.

Had my FS appt on Friday, wow you should see the druggs I have to take this time...WOW, I think I am going to combust.
Along with all of the injections I have to take for the stim, I will be on...
Baby Asprin
Vit B complex
Tripple dose folate
Prednisolone
Dexamethasone (antibiotic)
All to assist with implantation, and incase my biopsy shows NKcells because I wont get the results for 4 weeks, so he is treating me for the worst case scenario. And wont hurt if all is clear.

All my bloods were fine, thanks to the girls who asked.

Sorry all about me post, I have some catching up to do.... sorry :redface:

Crafty, hang in there sweetheart XX:comfort:

Thopes, fingers crossed X

Oh!!
TTCALC, congratulations to you to darling!!!!! Hope you can all relax, and live in a stress free environment from now on, you are such a giving lady XX And this just proves it XXXX

Another girl announced her pregnancy at work on friday evening, she is 5 weeks WTF so I am just keeping quiet for a while, am doing it a bit tough, but I am sure all of my furbabies and kittens can cheer me up over the next week.
Hope everyone had a great weekend XXX
