Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage/Loss August/September 2009

Tanya - Im with you. I HATE TTC!!

Krya - Sorry about the bleed. Try to stay positive and get lots of rest. This is your sticky bub asking you to take it easy for a few days. The hcg levels are going up great so just one day at a time! :stickyvibesgirl:

Coco - I hope you are enjoying your holiday now. It was meant to take your mind off TTC! Guess it didnt work. Hoping you get your BFP on Sunday.

Chickybabe73 - How are you going today?

Smallfryplus - Thank you for the update. Its great to hear things are going along well.

Eliselouise85 - When are you testing? Soon??

Twin Sister - :welcome: and sorry for you loss. I hope you are able to start TTC again real soon and that you only have to stay with us a short time.

Ferrals - We will miss you but understand its good to chat with people who understand what you are going through. Keep us updated and i look forward to see that flashing BFP in a few months time.

Sunbeam - I hope the break is doing you good. Looking forward to having you back... for just a short time!! October is your month!!

Tina - How are you? Does it feel real yet??

Big hellos to everyone i have missed.

AFM - Im so totally over it today. Had a positive OPK this morning, heaps of EWCM last night and today and DH isnt in the mood. I just cant do it any more. Its making me crazy. Sometimes i think i should just go back on the pill and forget about wanting a family. GGGrrrrr

kyra hun, hold tight, im sending megga sticky vibes ur way!!!

Kyra - those levels are great - just take it easy :)

Maddison: don't give up, just throw DH down and tell him you feel like it so put up and shut up! lol :)

Hi to everyone, including the new girl.

Maddison, no, it isn't very real yet, I've been getting waves of nausea which, while they are not fun, I am so happy to have. bb's are finally getting tender and it was all confirmed by doc last night.
Went for hcg level test today so waiting to get results from that this afternoon, they are rushing them through for me.

Thanks everyone for all your sticky vibes etc.

I am :pray: you all join me soon in the due thread

Hi everyone, can I join you guys? I am currently waiting for AF to return so DH and I can start trying again. My M/C was only about 4 weeks ago but I want to start TTC right away. My HCG level dropped to normal really quickly so I thought my cylce might return to normal quickly as well. I even thought I may have ovulated about 2 weeks ago (right on schedule) but DH wanted to wait for at least one period before TTC. If all had returned to normal I should have got AF yesterday but no such luck and already I'm getting impatient waiting for it. I was hoping talking to others in the same boat as me would help.

Welcome TS. I'm new also, but have already found the support from this forum overwhelming and so generous.. All the best for your TTC journey, and I hope AF comes back for you nice & quickly so you can start your TTC journey again. I also had a loss last month (July), but was lucky enough (if you call it that..?) for AF to come back as she normally would have.

well ive had the most stressfull 12 hours..

Started bleeding heavy yesterday and just couldnt keep positive at all on the ride up to the hospital

They did a blood test and a few hours later called me in to tell me my hormone levels the other day at 4 and a half weeks were 711hcg, and yesterday they were 2780hcg.. so that sounded gud but he made sure to reaussure me that it doesnt mean i havnt misscarried at all. sigh

then i sat in the waiting room for 10 hours with that thought in my head b4 anyone saw us..

So the gyno saw me fineally.. the news isnt as bad as i thought but it certainly isnt the best.

So far she cant see a yolk sack on the scan, but she said it is really too early to see one anyway, but my cervix is closed, and there aparently was only a tiny amount of blood (unlike last november when they coulnt see anything from all the blood)

She doesnt think im misscarrying, but didnt garuntee it.. she said its most likely just the cervix lineing shedding where the egg has burrowed in .. but im going back on monday because she said theres still a chance that im going to misscarry in the next few days :'(

I dont know.. i feel like its different to last time and theres alot more hope.. but oh my god i cannot deal with this stress right now,, the last thing i wasnted to happen happened yesterday when i saw that blood i broke down right then and there in the public toilets at the mall..

---

Aww hon, I'm so sorry you've had such a stressful 12 hours!! Please, please, as hard as it is, try your best to stay reasonably calm, or as calm as you possibly can anyway. Like the doc said he/she is probably just burrowing right in there for the long haul.. this baby is meant to be yours :D

Not much from me.. sorry for the lack of personal's - I'm feeling a bit down myself..

I'm sad.. I just POAS this morning, and got a BFN.

I'm desperately hoping it's just still too early..! I'm only 9DPO. Is it still too early?

I SOOO desperately hope so! I've got myself absolutely convinced that I'm definately pregnant, even after the BFN.. after getting over the initial disappointment of the BFN, I'm still convinced I'm pregnant..!!

I don't know what it is.. maybe it's the fact that I'm still POAS on the OPK's ... cos that's where I got my very first positive last time, which led me to buy the FR which confirmed my pregnancy.

Would an OPK still have a feint 2nd line 9DPO? (They're very feint, but definately still a line). Does anyone know?

I keep convincing myself that that's my LH surge continuing because I've got little bundle starting to settle in... and the twingey pains feeling like something's burrowing isn't helping either. I keep telling myself that's bubs settling in for the ride..

I'm driving myself insane! :rolleyes:

Lady r -=- Yes its too early :D

I did bout 3-4 neg p tests only got the faintest BFP the day b4 my Af was due.. and I was convinced i wasnt pregnant by that stage too! Hope that helps :) And thanku, i think it mightbe ok, they sounded optimistic at the hospital, and usually docs always think the worst and try not to be to convincing incase there is a problem..

Fingers crossed for you darl <3

Hi Ladies,
AFM I've had my due date revised by 9 days! I'm trying to work out how that can be considering I was charting and know when I ovulated and when we DTD!! It just doesn't compute! So now, instead of being 16 weeks, I'm only 14 1/2 weeks. That does sound strange doesn't it! :dunno:

To Anila, Ferrals, Sunbeam, Cherished and Coco in particular, I wish you all the best in your journeys and hope to see all of you joyfully celebrating very soon. The journey has been long and painful for all of you and you deserve to be rewarded with your own little baby. Ferrals, goodluck wth the IVF when it starts, I hope it works for you first try!

---

Awww thanks so much honey, it's so nice to know someone is thinking of me :hug: I'm still so happy that you are getting your forever baby... Don't feel alone though, join your new belly buddy group and they will love you just like we do... Although I do know how you feel though, when I got my 2nd BFP I didn't know where to go :( I missed my 6mth girls etc etc then when I lost that one I still felt like I didn't fit anywhere as I was just on the verge of needing to be it the 12mth thread :rolleyes:... So I post in both heheheh Anyway you are having a healthy pregnancy and that is the most important thing :p keep in touch via pm if you like and I'm guessing a boy too! hehehe It will be beautiful to have the whole family there when you find out! YAY :dance:

Kyra try and stay calm hunni, i know its easier said than done but im keeping everything crossed for you and i think this will be a very sticky bub :crossfingers:
ladyr I too think 9dpo is a little too early and as for the opk the faint line on them doesnt mean anything, the only time it is a positive is when the test line is darker or as dark as the control line. But stay positive and if your feeling preggy hopefully well see a bfp from you in a few days time.
maddison not too sure when im gonna test am trying to hold off as long as possible, have no idea where i am in the dpo and no idea my cycle length so might try and hold off till mid next week if af hasnt turned up by then. Grrr to DH not being in the mood, i know what thats like my db was excactly the same last week when i thought i was ovulating, so frustrating.
:welcome: Twinsister, sorry you have had to join us under these circumstances but you will find all the support here that you need, hopefully af turns up real soon and your stay here will be nice and short.
AFM just trying to keep busy to stop me thinking about testing, have done 54 hours at work this week so thats kept me very busy and im exhausted :asleep:
Better go now and get the shepards pie out of the oven before i burn it. Talk soon

girls, i just wanted to say that u lot have been awesome and a wonderful piller of strenghth for me, i have enjoyed my time here with u, how ever, im not coping atm, i am 11/12 dpo and just got a bfn, i started spotting on 9/10 dpo with cramps, and after my bfn just now, i had more pink spotting, so i believe that af is on the way.
Im in absolute tears right now, i was so positive that i was going to have a may baby, and im so angry that although i was only 6 and a bit weeks that my baby is gone, i keep thinking how far along i could have been, i need to take a break from the ttc threads for a while, i know af is not here in full yet, but i highly doubt ill be getting a bfp this cycle.
So ill keep popping back to see how everyone is going, but i wont be posting, u can still find me around other bb threads.

Thanks for such a warm welcome, it's nice to talk to others who really understand what you are going through.

maddison - don't give DH a chance. My poor DH knows he has no choice, i tell him we're BD and he's better go get ready. If he resists I pin him down and force him into the mood. I know it's frustrating but don't give up!

LladyR - Don't get too down yet, 9DPO is still REALLY early. With my last pregnancy I kept taking tests at regular intervals and I didn't get even a faint line until 11 DPO. It took another week or so for the line to darken. Fingers crossed you get a BFP in another few days.

eliselouise85 - the wait always feels so long. I always tell myself "I will test on this date and not any sooner" and then I end up testing way before that anyways cuz I just can't wait any longer. best of luck!!

Anila - Aw I'm so sorry you're having a rough go of it. I get sad and upset thinking about how far along I could be as well. I get through it my reminding myself that I know people who have been a lot further along in their pregnancies than I was when they miscarried, and even worse people who lost babies at a few days old, and I think about how much harder that would be and I then I actualy feel fortunate that I was only 6 weeks. Hang in there, it will happend for you.

That being said, yesterday I was feeling pretty low. I got an e-mail from a girlfriend of mine who was going to start TTC at the same time as me (back in January)announcing the birth of her little boy! I didn't even know she was pregnant yet! I was really happy for her but I started feeling a bit sorry for myself because that means she got pregnant before she had even started TTC! Why do some people get to be so lucky?

I managed to cheer up though and then I got phone call from another girlfriend. We both have sons and they were born a week apart. We started TTC for #2 at the same time and we were laughing at how it would be really great if our second children were really close in age as well. She called me last night to tell me she is 10 weeks pregnant. I was really happy for her but after I got off the phone with her I started crying. She's as far along as I would have been and her due date is close to when I would have been due. So unfair! Now I have this constant reminder of how far along I could have been and it made me so sad. It took me awhile to stop crying.

Luckily this morning I woke up to some spotting. AF has arrived. Hooray! I don't think I've ever been so happy to see her before. The tricky part now is that DH, DS and I are going to be camping around ovulation time and I'm not sure how we're going to get some BD in. We'll figure something out though, I won't let it stop us lol.

Hi lovely ladies,

Just quickly checking in to see lots of things happening on this thread.

Tina- Congratulations hun! So pleased for you.

Kyrawolfe- Hoping for some great news for you on Monday.

Anila and Ferals- Thanks for all your support. Sorry that you are leaving the thread, and I hope you get some great news very soon.

Maddison- hang in there with DH, it is definitely different BD for a baby and I think they feel a little used and sensitive around when its time. I had the same issues with my DH.

Eliselouise- test test test. I can't stand it. Hoping for some great news for you very soon.

Massive welcome to LladyR and Twinsister. I hope you find the support that you need on this thread.

Hello to anyone else that I might have missed. I miss chatting with all of you ladies.

AFM- staying low at the moment on all threads ATM, funny not sure where I belong. Still just waiting to get to 13 weeks and then I will let it seem real. 9 weeks today and it has been the longest 5 weeks of my life, don't know how I will get through the next 4 weeks. I'm dying to tell people but am staying firm. Still suffering from MS, which I didn't with the pg with my mc so just have to keep positive.

Me 32 DH 38
DS 5/1/2007
:angel: December 2008 (12 weeks)

Morning all, hope everyone is having a good weekend

Josh'smum good to hear that things are all going well with you, enjoy that MS (as yucky as it is) it means you have a sticky, healthy bub :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: I did give in and tested last night and no surprises BFN, thats why i wanted to hold off as long as possible, to avoid that dissapointmen. But as i said earlier i have no idea how many DPO i am so hopefully its just way to early
Anilla its sad to see you go, you have been a great support to all of us here, make sure to keep us posted when you get that BFP and hopefully its not too far away at all :crossfingers:
Twinsister sorry to hear you were having a down day :hug: its very hard when thinking about how far you could have been, but YAY to AF showing up, no you can get straight back onto TTC and hopefully it doesnt take long at all.
Kyra will be thinking of you tomoro, hope you get some good news, i think it will be all fine and youll have a very sticky bub :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
:hello: Hello to cherished, chickybabe, tina, tanya, Lladyr, maddison, coco, milly and anyone else i may have missed
AFM I gave in last night and tested, wish i didnt, i wasnt surprised at all it was a BFN but dont know where im at so hoping its too early. The last 3 or 4 days i have had some sticky cm so not too sure what thats about. TMI alert quite a few times i have had to quickly go to the toilet because my knickers have felt very wet and ive thought AF must be here but nope she wasnt just lots of cm. Any idea what this could be??
Anyway better get going and do some housework and go for a walk i think. Talk soon

Thank you everyone
and just to let u know, af did turn up today, and isnt being very nice.

Hi Girls,
First of all I just want to say a huge BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!
I am quite new here, but I feel welcomed with opened arms, but please excuse me if I don't know the abreviations yet.
Here's my story,
I recently went 13 weeks between periods. Negative blood and pee tests. I had an ultrasound at about 5 weeks late (9 weeks since period) and they said I had Polycystic Ovaries, two weeks later I had blood tests done which showed everything even hormones were normal, then another two weeks and I had a period, however a day before that I thought I had a very very faint positve line on a HPT, I thought it may have been an evaporation line. so a few days after my period I tested again and there was a BFP, next day another one and then a day later another one, not 5 days after my 1st BFP it's a very faint postive. So I guesss I had a M/S or Chemical Pregnancy.
Is there any chance that I may still be pregnant? I know I should let it go, but I want it so much. We have been trying for about 18 months, and had two "chemical pregnancies" last year.

Hi all

I'm really sorry it's been a long long time im between posts on here, I'm not even sure if anyone remembers me...The emotional roller coaster has been pretty intense the last few weeks so I've been hibernating a little bit...and now just to add in some interesting elements...I just did a test, well two actually, and they both came up a big fat :bfp: The first was was quite faint, so trying not to get too excited, I went and got another two tests (one a different brand), I tested with the different brand when i got home and it came up positive almost straight away.
I'm not sure what to think, I'm happy, I'm scared/terrified, and also trying not to get too excited either (which is why I don't seem overly excited at the moment)... I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday (was going to be for a different reason, so it's a nice coincidence in a way...) I'm so sorry i I've come in here rambling about all my good news, but I hope it's ok that I have...

Kyra...I know we don't know each other, but I really hope that everything is ok...my thoughts and prayers are with you darl.

Well, I'm gonna try and get some sleep...hehe I really wish I had a switch on my brain that I could turn off when my mind started racing...if only. :)

Will keep you all posted, :grouphug: to everyone.

Luv Natt XO

NattyT - Of course we remember you. How exciting is your news!!!! Let us know how it goes at the doctors on Tuesday.

Zeppy - I think you should see your doctor to be sure of what is happening with your body. You could be pregnant even if you had some bleeding. GOOD LUCK.

Tina - OMG girl! When you kept saying you felt AF was coming and it didn't show up I thought "hmmmmm, that's what I said last time and then got a BFP".

Maddison - DH hates TTC sex! He is usually tired and cranky and rolls over straight afterwards while I am left stuck staring at the ceiling because it the best position to be in after the BD. It is one of the least romantic encounters you could imagine.

Kyra and Chickybabe - I am thinking of you both and keep checking the threads quite a bit hoping to see positive things from you.

Hi to all the new girls. I hope your stay here is brief!

AFM - no idea of what my cycle will be this month but it looks as though ovulation might be drawing closer. We have decided to try again this month. I think in the next few months I will be trying to wean myself off TTC. The time will come very soon when I must just accept my age and my limitations.

josh'smum - MS is a good sign, I'm sending you good thoughts that all will stay well

eliselouise85 - sounds promising. I hope it's just early and you get a BFP in another few days

Anila - Aw, I'm sorry to hear AF arrived

Zeppy - I was going to say the same as Sammy, go see your doctor and find out for sure. You may get some good news!

NattyT - Congratulations, that's fantastic news!

Not much going on here. We're planning our camping trip and I'm still trying to find out how we can TTC while we are away. AF isn't being too bad but I can't wait for her to be gone.
SammyP - I have my fingers crossed for you that this is your month.

Hi Ladies !

Anila - Sorry you are feeling so down atm. I can totally understand how the TTC thing completely does your head in - i had been feeling like that on quite a few occassions. I really hope things happen for you soon. :hug:

Natty - Congratulations ! How exciting ! :stickyvibesgirl:

Zeppy - :crossfingers:

Sending lots of :bluedust: to you all

xoxoxoxo

Congratulations NattyT - Wonderful news.
Its raining BFPs in here at the moment. Please keep us updated on how you are going. :confetti:
