Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage/Loss July/August 2009

[josh'smum]

Hello everyone.

Chickybabe: Please don't lose hope just yet. Just try and take it easy. everything is ok.
Sammy: Hope you are doing ok. I'm sure you will find all the love and support you need from the gorgeous ladies on this thread.
Kyra: You sound exactly how i was feeling last month before my BFP, it's not over until AF comes to visit. Good luck with getting your licence
Ferals: Good luck for the IVF, you get your BFP before the before the rebate is scrapped
Sunbeam: nausea sounds very promising. for a BFP for you this still this month.
Hello to cherished, snugglybean, anilla, maddison, hannah, superstarmumsy, sunny and anyone else i have missed.

AFM: Well had my first ob appt yesterday, saw the heartbeat. Nearly started crying when it was first detected- silly I know. I was so nervous before my appt, that my ob decided to do the US before taking my BP. BP was still 140/60 when he did take it, he wasn't so concerned about it as the bottom measurement was fine, he said the top measurement is more likely to be elevated due to anxiety. I was certainly anxious. I had loads of cysts on my ovaries, more than when I had a pelvic US the month before we got our BFP. Ob suggested that it could be due to the changes in hormone levels, but we will have to monitor them. Apart from that he was happy enough not to see me again until 13 weeks, so I guess pretty good news. I wasn't sure of the right time to post this, but thought the thread could do with some good news of some sorts.

Hope your all well, and I will be lurking until my next post.

Chickybabe- I am praying that everything is okay with your little bub. I think it was Sunny who had brown discharge a couple weeks ago and everything turned out fine. Brown isn't quite as worrying as red blood, but I'm sure it is still a very stressful time right now. And during my second pregnancy, my OB said not to worry about cramping unless it is really bad. Don't lose hope! Saying lots of prayers for you!

ZStar and Joshsmum- I am so glad everything is going great so far!! I was very happy to hear that. Keeping you both in my prayers also. Isn't it amazing to hear that heartbeat? I cried the first time too. It is such a miracle to think about how tiny that little heart is to already be beating strong.

Sunbeam- Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!!!! It's good to hear about the nausea. (Sounds weird, but you know what I mean )

Ellie- I've tried many brands of OPKs and they all worked great for me. I would recommend buying something cheap online because you will spend a small fortune otherwise! They have really been great for me and I would definitely suggest using them if you are unsure of what's going on with your cycle. I spent a few months trying to figure things out on my own, then I tried temping (which was too frustrating for me, but I know a lot of women swear by it), and finally gave in and tried the OPKs and I'm so glad I did. It's good to take the guess work out of O time

to everyone else! Hope you are all doing okay. It seems like so many of you are in the TWW at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed to see more BFPs soon!

AFM- I'm still waiting for a positive OPK after my miscarriage. I went in last week and still had an hcg level of 24. It's been six days now, so hopefully it's back to zero, but I'm going back in tomorrow to have it checked. I know I won't ovulate until it's all the way back down, but I've been testing everyday just to make sure I don't miss my window. For anyone who had their hcg levels checked after m/c, how long after it returned to zero did you ovulate?

Sammy, I am really sorry to hear about your baby. Look after yourself.
Hannah, I will let you know when I get to zero! Last week I was at 4.9, which is almost as good as zero, don't seem to have ovulated yet. (Although looked like my body was trying last month!)

I dreamed that I was taking my temp the other night, but that my thermometer came up with a reading "too hung over"! I had a pretty big night on Saturday - What else am I going to do for the next 4 months?

[Cherished]

oh Sammy & chickybabe be kind to yourselves and your dh's, I am so very sorry for your loss Sammy and I know how worried you must be CB but don't give up! xo

eliselouise thanks for thinking of me hon I get the OPK & pg tests from ebay in bulk, they are really cheap and work great for me... temping is also great, maybe set your alarm?

AFM I am in the fertile zone I guess and can't wait ovulate for the 1st time since my mc and I am really hopeful I will get a BFP and a sticky bub....

hello everyone else

AAHAHAHHHHAHAHAH SnugBug I love you... You crack me up! I felt the same way every time af shows up and after my 2 mc's, it was like 'thank God for red wine" hehehe

[Sunbeam]

Snuggly- that's hysterical

Josh'smum- so good to hear everything is going so well, please never feel bad for coming and bringing us good news.

Cherished- glad you are back in fertile land hope your sticky bundle is coming soon. Well done on the weight loss too.

[Sunny Love]

Chickybabe....I know ow you feel. I too had a similar discharge and contractions very early on in this prg and I believed I was beginig to m/c. My DR believes that if the discharge is not a red flow then its probably just normal. In sayig that getting blood tests done is always the go...its a clear answer. My discharge ad contractions were put down to my growing and stretching uterus. Try not to worry just yet, even tho I know I would be too. Im hoping you dont get that dreaded red flow My thoughts are with you.

[maddison]

Sammy im so sorry that you are going through this again. My heart breaks for you and your family. I hope you have a lot of support and love around you and know we are always here for you if you need to chat, vent, cry. Anything you need.
