Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss Jan 2010

[TTCALoveChild]

Good morning ladies....

Well i finally got my results on HCG levels they are dropping pretty fast since we lost our lil and i knew they was cause i already lost the baby..
Dec 14,09 is when we found out we were prego && the HCG levels were 21208.0
Dec 18,09 Results dropped to 16085.0 reason for this blood work so early they didnt see anything or heart beat for the sac to be so big..
Dec 22,09 is when we found out we lost the our @ 7 weeks 6 days. to Blighted ovum which i really believe i was misdiagnosed from what i saw on Dec 29..
Then yesterdays Blood work levels were 24..
Im going tomorrow to the Ob/Gyn and discuss some stuff with her and to make sure everything is fine... Had a natural pass on Dec 29.09 so im not sure about the D&C now till i go see her tomorrow.
From reading up on D&C i heard it causes scarring but hell i have Endo so im already scarred from the 2 laps. but if i dont need it i dont want it..

So have a question??
For us to even get prego again the levels have to be <5?? is 24 to high for me to even O?

See im all new to this O, checking temp,charting..We just been ttc with out no help for 9 yrs..

So any help on what to do next to make it alittle easier for us would be appreciated..

Anita

Hey Ladies!

TTCALC- i am not an expert but i am pretty sure that you do not O unless your HCG levels are under 5. You levels dropping is a gret sing tho, hopefully your body gets it act together soon!!!

Ferrals- did you win the fertility monitor? i am sorry AF came but at least now you know where you are. I cant believe that they lost your photos of little Abbi.. it is horrible. I look a tthe photos I have of Kyarna and i get a bit angry, i hav eseen some beautiful ones of other little bubs but no one offered to put a little hat on kyarna or dress her... I am sorry taht you dont have them but your memories of her will never leave!Your FS seems to have given you some really reasuring advice.. i hope that this is you month chick... a honey moon baby would be awesome!!!!!!

Carrie- I am that everything goes well on the 15th. How are your girls going with all of this? It is so hard to watch them try and grasp it where you cant hardly get your own head around it.

Mathews Mum- sorry i seem to be a bit behind, are you going to be doing IVF? i hope i read your last post right! when do you start?
I am shocked that you didnt get any testing done... i thought it was standard with a 2nd trimester loss.. i didnt ask for any testing it was just done, they told me that i could decline but they recomend it..

DOry- how are you, i havent seen you around latley but im not sure if that is cause i have been MIA.. I hope everything is going ok, where abouts are you in your cycle?

Ric- I hope that you have been testing just a little bit too early? When will you be testing again??

T hopes- everything sounds promising!! that it is OUR month and we join Belly buddies together... !!! I am pretty sure you will be right to have one or two but i wouldn do anymore than that!! i hope the wedding is an enjoyable one!

Crafty Mummy- aqww little piggy babies! they are so small! i am glad that they are giving you something to think about! only 9 days to go!!!''

SPF- I hope that what you are feeling is not AF i am envious of your will power i cant do it... gee i even test the day i get AF just incase it is an implantation bleed... i know not at all logical but i do... i think i test like every freaking week of a cycle ROFL maybe i should buy OPK at least then i will get to se 2 lines occasionaly! ROFL

ok so i dont think i have missed anyone that has poisted in the last 2 pages ROFL

everyone that is not posting and just reading, i hope you are doing ok...
and anyone i miss i am really really sorry!

AFM- well i shouldnt be here... i have some watery CM ROFL ROLF sorry for the TMI but i am pretty sure i am Oing or about to!!! But of all times to get sick DH decides that today is the bast day... i fully started crying when he said he was sick this morning and he got angry that he is sick and all i can care about it SEX LMFAO not nice when the shoe is on the other foot hey! i told him i dont care what he has to do i will get his sperm TONIGHT!! ( ok so now i feel bad but ffs i want this now!!!)

anyway! i will catch you all soon!!

Ha ha ha ha sounds just like DH and I. My last cycle DH wasn't feeling well and I knew when I was going to ovulate so I let him have a rest but I was not passing up on the night before O. I told him in the am "ok so tonight we BD" and he said "no not tonight I'm really not feeling well". I broke down and startedf crying cuz I couldn't stand the thought of wasting a month. Then I told him "well better suck it up cuz were having sex tonight anyways " He was mad at me but he put out anywyas and I got my BFP that month. So good luck catching your egg! LOL

[ferrals5]

Mummyof4- Yes i won the fertility monitor for $93 it is practicly brand new cant wait for it to get here and It was terrible about our photos we threatened to sue the hospital and all but after we calmed down it was one stupid nurses fault not the hospital all the midwives i had were fantastic and i have had all 4 of my kids there so i wrote a big nasty letter telling them that nurse needs to be retrained and from now on a new memory card should be inserted into the camera for each stillborn baby and we got the little pink hat and cardi and booties were still a bit big but we have no photos of her in it just the one photo of her little face wrapped in a bunny rug and her footprints i can see the stiches at the bottom of her neck from the autopsy but she looked peaceful so i was ok she will always be in my memory and dreams.
LOL that is so funny when men dont feel like it bad luck for us when we dont we still manage to do it they are such sook's.

SPF-i hope its implantation pain you are feeling.

TTCALC-as far as i have read yes your levels need to be under 5 but you can practice while you wait.

AFM-i'm off to work i will check back in later tonight.

Ferrals- it must be a relief to know that you've still got lots of eggs left, and lots of time to spend them, so to speak. The fact that you're now getting the AF you were promised a month ago makes it sound like your body still hadn't fully processed everything until now - but now it's catching up, which is good. I can't imagine how livid you would be at that nurse - I remember how I felt when I thought when I thought DH had thrown out Peanuts u/s photo.
Matthews mum - that's great that they've moved up your appt. Also that they are doing follow up with you, rather than you having to do all the work!
Ric - I always got my BFP's with Discover.
THopes - I live way out SE, Pakenham. I'm seeing an OB in Berwick, Dr Lopes. He's laid back in a "don't you worry about blank, it's my job to worry about blank" kind of way, but still acknowledged my right to be freaked and always ordered tests that seemed necessary. And has an awesome sense of humour - had me in stitches when I thought true laughter was something I wouldn't experience for a long time. /end plug. I've got my fingers crossed for the big veins! And just think of all those babies created by alcohol...
TTCALC - JEALOUS! It's taking you like a week to get the sort of drop I'm still waiting for after 2 months! That does sound right about o'ing, as long as there is hcg in your system, your body is going to assume that you are not in need of any more eggs, so to speak.
This is already quite long - that'll teach me for staying away for 22 hours! Hello to all those I've missed - stay strong.
AFM - It's Thursday, which means I've got to go see the vampire. I'm estimating about a 65.

[T-hopes]

cookie - my sister lives in Pakenham! And I work in Berwick! Small world huh! wow!
mummyof4 - thanks for responding, doubt i will have any anyway, might just do the fake drinking ie orange juice mixed with lemonade - looks like champagne!! good little trick! I havent had a single drink since June 09 (b4 i was pregnant) just doesnt feel right to drink cause i 'should' be 29 weeks right now PS funny story about CM, my DH calls me the bank teller and all he does is make deposits! lol
crafty - sounding good so far!! my fingers are crossed for you!!!! xx
spf - hold out on that testing!!! your doing a great job!!! got a good feeling about you missy!!!
TTClovechild - good news to hear your levels have dropped again, hopefully your body gets back on track right away to get you closer to your BFP! big hugs to you xx

hi to those i have missed!
xx

[TTCALoveChild]

Thanks
Cookie & T-hopes

Cookie36 Hang in there yours will drop...I guess its true our bodies to act differently..I'm yours drops faster then they have been...
Im kinda shocked to hear about others still up there over 5 weeks and mine has dropped pretty quick like in a week... Hoping to start my cycle fast to so i can pinpoint when i will be doing the BIG O..Then DF is in Trouble..
Ferrals- thanks.. that is what i thought.. oh we will be be practicing..lol

what is even funnier is he never really was concerned about the BIg O or AF but since this has happen to us and we only got a 2-5 day chance of conceiving a month DF was like when does all this happen; its new month.. So that made me feel good that he is still wanting to TTC after what we been thru and also wanting to be part of all this Big O'ing and all



Who will be Doing there first Cycle this month.. Looking for a TTC Buddie... Anyone?
I should be starting my cycle anytime soon.. should be!!

Just butting my nose in briefly, I noticed a couple comments re obs and living in the eastern subs. My DD2 was delivered by Peter Tang at Knox private hospital. He was fantastic and if I was still living in the area, I'd go to him again for this one. As it happens, I'm seeing Charry Hemmings at casey gardens in narre warren and she is fantastic. No nonsense, very informative and understanding. She's a GP obstetrician so can't deliver multiples or do surgery but would be there all the same. And when I told her Peter Tang was my doc for previous baby, she was pleased as she said he is a personal friend of hers and that he's really sweet (I thought he was too!).
ps. I wouldn't go back to Knox hospital though - the midwives I dealt with seemed to know less than me and when I passed a 10cm piece of placenta 2 days after the birth after being told that the placenta was whole at birth, they didn't get concerned and it took 3 midwives being told for my doc to finally get told and he freaked out and got me on antibiotics immediately. I believe the midwife had checked the placenta and told him it was whole, perhaps he should have as well...

All the best to you all xox

[T-hopes]

smallfry - thanks heaps for that!! good to hear a recommendation! we were disappointed with the last ob so wanna make a decision b4 it all happens! we have a pre-natal appt with dr ravi kashyap (clayton) next week, have heard a lot of very good things about him. he delivers at cabrini, jessie mac and waverley.... we'll see how we go! thanks again!!
all the best with your little one on the way!!!! xox

[Cookie36]

THopes, with the rate Pakenham is expanding, I'd be concerned if you DIDN'T have someone close who lived in Pakenham!
TTCALC - as my ob says "2 minutes of fun never hurt anyone".

It's funny that I'm sitting here with a whole bunch of lovely ladies who are dying to see that double line - where as at the moment I will get the double line...I'm praying for the witch! The vampire wasn't too painful today - but a do have a blue circle around the puncture wound! Waiting for tomorrow for the new numbers.

[murraycod]

OMG OMG I dont post for 24 hrs and this is what I get....and hour of cathching up!!!!! That'l learn me!!

CarriePS I am so so sorry for the loss of your precious little son Eden XXX
It is so nice that you can lay him to rest with your Dad X I did read your story last night and I cried (feeling a lot hormonal) so I didn't post. Sorry. I hope that your DH friends have a H+H pregnancy this time.
It is lovely that you have joined in for a chat, you wont be dissapointed. We are all a great mad bunch of girls and there is truck loads of support floating around when needed XX I hope that your stay in this part of the threads is a short one, but it is lovely to have you here to share the journey, so Welcome!!X

Ferrals sorry the AF Witch showed up so darn late, good that you now know where you are at though, an great to read that you have good news from FS!!! Congrats!!! Any good news around here is GREAT News!XX
Hope you have some fun playing with your new Clear Blue monitor when you get it!! Hey where are you honeymooning it!?!? Lucky girl!!!!
It is so sad about what happened to your photos of your little girl. Sorry you have had to go through that XXX

Cookie my DH put the treadmill together in our second lounge, so I can watch TV and walk at the same time! It is a fold up easy to move outside if I want, but I am having trouble picking up naughty DH dirty washing off the darn floor ATM (right next to the basket mind you)
I hope that your HCG has dropped sweetheart, it sure is taking it's time... I know exactly what it is like to pray for the Witch AF to visit!

Craftymummy oh congrats you are a nana of twin guineapigs how cute is that!!!!!! You are a strong lady not POAS until you are due for AF, and I loved your comment about my crop!! Im very uncomfortable ATM...

TTCALC so glad that you feel welcome here XXXX Glad your staying to share your journey too!!
I MC at just under 8wks and passed naturally, so I hope that all is fine with you, and that you don't need a D+C, your levels are very low so that is reassuring, and great news by the way

Ric I am praying with you honey! Best of luck for the 9thJan I do hope you get your BFP then!!
Oh, I have no lucky test, I have used and abused them all

Thopes, I recon having a social drink would do no harm, you need to enjoy yourself if you want, or go the orange juice, whateva you feel comfortable within yourself my dear XX Just make sure you have a fun time, sounds exciting!!

SPF I hope that AF does not visit you

Dory (HUGGS!!) How are you?

Smallfry and TwinSis hope you are both well XXX

Mummyof4 Go Get That Egg Girl!!!! What is it with our sensitive men with feelings these days, what happened to "Brace yourself girls lets get it on"!!

Matthew'sMum if you get the oppurtunity to do IVF soon, well corgrats that is great news! It is way better than having to wait for ages!! Dunno about you, but once my mind is set on something, I want it YESTERDAY!!!
Will you have to do anything about your blocked tubes first though?? My friend had her's removed BF starting IVF because of the high risk she had for ectopic, her tubes were very damaged and blocked.

Snuggly hi if you have had a quick lurk!!!

Coco if you are just browsing, I hope that all is well with you hun XX

Sunbeam I hope you are ok X

Don't think I missed anyone, sorry if I did X

AFM, I have ultrasound tomorrow morning at 0930hrs, and bloods to be taken after that!
Repromed girls rang thismorning to see how I was going with the injections, I told them I was becoming quite uncomfortable in hte tummy area, feel bloated and stiff, they recon I prob go for EPU on Monday if eggies are good. (feels like they are, would hate to feel them get any bigger!!)
Had my last day at work yesterday, I now have 3wks off to relax, and hybernate in my own bubble for a while. My cyber bubble!!

Thanks girls for being so great, I dunno what I would do without you all

[ferrals5]

Cookie-i just wish they were of better quality though they are getting on in age but we will see i only need one.

[craftymummy9]

Hi everyone

Glad everyone seems to be on the up so to speak a lot of positive vibes coming this month so thank goodness for that we had a whole load of sad ones for a long time,
All the girls waiting for or already on the IVF journey my are with you and lets hope you all move threads real soon

all those trying to get the DH sorted out go get um girls funny how they all seem scared around day 14 of a cycle and sigh with releif around day 18 mine too but as you say differnent story when they wake in the morning pitching a tent and expecting us to perform !

T hopes can't beleive we MC within days of each other and now in the TWW together lets hope we can carry on and be belly buddies together !

AFM well still not sure whats going on felt nauseas again today and feels like someone keeps sticking pins in my boobs every now and then keep checking to see if I got something in my bra ie crumbs or sand or something guess its just wishful thinking but like ferrals said my AF and pg symptoms are so similar so have no idea as yet but only a week till testing ( I will be strong I will wait )

Ferrals how did you put a photo on this damn site ?

[ferrals5]

Murrycod-we are off to sussex inlet down the south coast we have a beach house for a week so a week of quiet, beach walks ,games, picnic lunches, dinner out every night we have one TV so that is going to be a challenge with my 3 boys DH daughter and my son's girlfriend so we are taking the wii for back up you might be wondering why we are taking all the kids i think i said before we all have had such a stressful year with the loss of abbi and all the dr's appt's and geneticist appt and ivf ect and my boys did it hard to so this is a week for all of us to relax and enjoy and remember that life is supose be fun and DH and i have decided it is a week of yes we wont say no to anything within reason what ever the kids want we will say yes even it is lollies for breakfast
DH and i are going away for a weekend to the gold coast during the year anyway good luck with your U/S hope you have lots of big follies growing.

Craftmummy-LOL with the pitching a tent remark my DH had one this morning and i though what a waste and you can add a small photos to your ticker on some ticker sights or i go to photobucket and you add photos by making an album once you register it is free and then it will give you a code to use it was the IMB code you copy the code and paste it on to your next post it takes a bit of fiddling til you get it but give it a go go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket oh! you have to have to photos in your computer first to load onto photobucket.

[ric]

Hey girlies! We've got 5 more days over here, then a few days in Melbs with the in-laws, then home! It's been such a good holiday!

Today is my official all-clear day pop those streamers girls! I can't believe I made it - 6 months ago it seemed like a life sentence to have to wait so long, and as you girls all know, it hasn't been easy, so thanks so much for all your support.

Now, time to get on with some baby-making! I'll be testing before w leave Japan, but I really don't feel pg, so I don't think we'll get anything. But it will happen soon! Stay tuned!

[TTCALoveChild]

Aww Ric im so sorry sweetie.... Hang i there, you got next month

Well The Doctor canceled my Appt for today since we are like in a snow storm .. My next appt is Jan 26 Grr that far away...

So i guess me and the DF will be till then..

AF should be coming for me if my cylce is going to start right up as normal but its irregular as to having 2-5 days of AF..

I just wish she would come so i can get back on track.. but again till then we will

Best of luck to you all!!

[Matthew's Mum]
