Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss March 2007

Hello to you all,
It is Friday Hoooorayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

I am still trying to figure every-one out & just when I think I have I am back to square one. So here goes I hope I have all of this right

Maz- Hi Maz & welcome, I know what you are saying about when you would like to ttc. When we first started ttc I thought it was so easy, huh how stupid was I. I wanted a baby in sept, never happened. Then when I was not really thinking about I fell and was due 24.05.07. Well now that is not happening either. I have always said I do not want a christmas baby however after chatting in thsi thread & talking with others, I sort of don't really mind now so long as it happens although is always on my mind & maybe same with you. Just my own thoughts MWAH

Bun & Louise- I soooooo have everything crossed for you 2(except my legs that is) sending lots of :bluedust:

Bekz-Best of luck with everything. good to hear all is getting back to normal for you.

SP-I wish there more people like you, you are so supportive of all and have lots to tell us all, Thanks heaps

Belinda-I did sign into FF however then signed out casue I am a chicken. I will try again & see how I go though, even if it is only for a couple of months, Thanks

Jen-I see you are a christmas girl & it does not seem to bother you, that is great. Do you celebrate your birthday separate to christmas? Our family is big into birthdays being very special, I think that is why I often thought I did not wish to have a baby at christmas.

Leyla-I hope youa re soon feeling better & back into bding

Sharon-Keep your chin up, all will be ok. I have no idea waht my is doing either if that makes you feel better. We just do lots bding and hope for the best. We all ramble some-times don't worry, we are hear to listen & ramble with you ,lol

For any-one I have missed a special message too I am sorry & hope to catch up next time, will have a read over the weekend and see if I can figure you all out yet, trying hard.
Have a great week-end & talk to you all soon, I am at work so I must go

:hug: :bluedust: :)

janeo good luck getting your coverline.
saltprincess I honestly don't know, it was slightly more than just spotting as there was a 'little' something on the pad each time i went to loo, going by Shan's info I would say it was borderline and since my af is normally light, well... so I think I will give it a week or so and see what temps, cm and cp do. I hope the witch shows up on time for you.
maz so sorry to hear about your loss, I still get sad nearly 6 weeks after my D&C but have found it great to be able to come in here and talk/read about other peoples experiences and having a couple of great friends IRL who I could depend on for a shoulder to cry on if needed.
Shan I really don't think I could be pg since we didn't BD until 4 days after i O'd, and what is a 'breakthrough bleed'? plus my temps are a fair bit lower.
Bun I know what you mean about being a little apprehensive instead of happy about being pg, because I will am positive I will be the same, worrying about every little sign or symptom that appears/disappears.
BekZ I am starting to think that maybe it was af but was just extremely light, I will wait and see what my temps, cm, cp tell me over the next week or so and may then change 2 of the days to light af.
Herbie I know things will sort themselves out (eventually) but ever since ttc and temping I really do HATE not knowing what my body is doing, the thing is, is that my Ob told me to wait till af arrives before starting ttc again so I am getting really impatient with the old witch LOL

I may BBL to have a read before bed but can't promise anything, I am working tomorrow from 7am through till about 9.30pm at the local primary school for the elections and I still have to read through my manual :p

Yeah, Sharon, you could be right.....i checked out your chart after i had written it, so i'm not too sure....sorry babe..- still you never know...

Leyla i would ignore the OPKs for this month especially if FF are giving you a coverline without them... It wont hurt to ignore them and see what happens matey...

Oh its great and then again it sucks that there are so many people in here IYKWIM. I hope the numbers will dwindle in the coming months. But for now its great to have a lot of people to chat to.

Bun- Keep positive. I know it is hard and we do tend to think about our past experiences but keep trying and we are all sending lots of sticky vibes and positive thoughts. Maybe tell DH? He might be as scared as you are.

Shan-Lucky you are here cos I have bugger all knowledge at the moment about my cycle. My first month on FF and so I am happy to be learning! Have a good weekend. I am sure you will hear me with the jack hammer again this weekend!

Janeo-The waiting game. I am feeling and thinking only positive things for you.

Herbie- As for being a Christmas baby, my birthday is still kept very seperate from Christmas. Its great to have that whole week of celebration being Christmas-birthday-New Years.

Bekz-its funny, sometimes it is the time you dont try for something that it may actually happen. I will throw some vibes your way too!

Who have I missed? Sorry if I didnt say g'day to you. I will next time.

For me it is a weekend of back on the jack hammer to get the rest of those damn tiles up.
Oh and I also have to have a pap smear every year due to a low grade abnormality last time. I had to have 3 tests in 3 weeks once. I have a very nice doc... "just relax those muscles" I still think it is unpleasant....
Waiting time for me to O in the next week or so, some BDing then the waiting game... All fun and games.

Good weekend to all.

Jen

Thanks for your vibes Jen and goodluck with getting those tiles up...I tell you I hate laying them even more. DH and I have done our whole house and time I will pay some one.

Re: Pap smear I had an abonormality 2 years ago and had to have 2 biospies. both came back ok, but when checking my cervix whilst TTC I felt a pimple thing on the opening of my cervix. This is the same spot that last abnormality was, and my doc thinks it could just be a recurrance, but I have to go and have another ps very soon. I am dreading the results coming back abnormal again, because this means more biopsies...yuk

Jen, i'll be listening out for you tomorrow...lol. As for my knowledge, it's all stuff i picked up on BB. I was as clueless as clueless when i first came here. I didn't even know what an OPK was or CM for that matter, or that you could pinpoint ovulation by taking your temp..lol. You learn as you go. There is an online charting course that you can do on FF. It's free to do, and although i haven't done it myself, heaps of girls on here have and said it's fantastic. Might be worth having a look????

Janeo - yes, I think I'll ignore the OPK's and just see what happens. Guess that puts me in the TWW. I'm going to go nuts!

Hi Girls,
Still plodding along.... Am now 12dpo but have that sinking feeling that af could show at any time (she is due Sunday - day 28). I have a FS appt on Monday where I basically want him to put me back on Clomid. I fell pg with DS on my 4th cycle of clomid after trying for almost 2 years!! I then fell pg with angel bubs without it after about 6 months but we all know how that ended!! I just want to be pg again as do so many of you wonderful ladies....Well that was a very selfish post but I promise to be back soon to do personals. I have read all of your news & am praying for BFP's for us all. Have a lovely weekend girls!!

Hi all, hoping there have been lots of BFP's since I last popped in (sorry, I haven't been keeping track... but feel free to give me a quick update!). Sorry to see so many more recent additions in here - fingers crossed for you all for good news very soon.

I have finally hit the 14 week mark & we made it here safely with no drama's this time (thank goodness). I had an ultrasound (nuchal fold) last week & my first blood tests & everything looks great. I burst into tears when I saw that heartbeat. It was first scan last time that we learned our baby had died, so this time I was very nervous & scared.

Anyway, love, sticky vibes & BFP wishes for everyone!

xx

thank yo all for the warm welcome. I hope to get to know you all really soon and you watch as soon as I get the hang of everyone in here, You'll all be leaving with BFP (fingers crossed)
I so have to get my chart started again. I had one with Fertility friends but it still has my old cycle prior Vyolett, am I able to reset it for a new cycle at all?

Cilmum - so pleased to hear all went well at your scan - what a huge relief for you!!
Maz - hi - not sure about resetting FF - maybe some of these other knowledgeable girls can help you. Good luck on the journey.
Me, 13dpo today & not feeling so confident due to af like feelings. Time will tell though....
Hi to all the other lovely ladies - hope everyone is good!!

Morning girls,

Well, as I thought, this one seems not meant to be. I did another HPT this morning and the line was so light it was barely there and took longer than the 5 mins to come up, so I think I can officially class that as a BFN. Oh well, I must say, if a pg isn't going to work out, I would rather it happen at this stage rather than later and to have to go through the hospital etc ordeal again. Not sure if I could handle that again.

I was feeling so positive about things a couple of weeks ago - I was confident my specialist would sort things out and all would be ok. Now all that positive thinking is out the window again. Luckily I have a psych appt today so I am hoping to feel a little better after that.

I don't even know what you class this as. The tests I used were v sensitive and if I had only tested today and not yest I never would have gotten a BFP at all. Do you class this as a chem pg or nothing at all? I hope this isn't a pattern - the first pg lsated 7 wks (although I didn't find out til 8.5wks) the second lasted 5w 3d, and now this one barely at all. If this is a pattern, then next time I suppose I won't be able to get pg at all!

My specialist said that if I am not pg this month, we will do cycle tracking next cycle to see if my hormones could do with a boost, and if so, he will put me on clomid the next cycle. I want clomid now! I know that I O v late and seem to have a short LP, so I just want to go on it! Does anyone know if a specialist will agree to that or if they insist on tracking first?

Anyway, enough about me.

Sharon - I think your spotting could be AF too. It can all be so confusing sometimes!

mummyto1 - you never know, sometimes AF type feelings can lead to a BFP! How did you find being on clomid?

Shan - I was the same as you when I first came here, I knew nothing! Now I know soooo much and can't believe I used to know so little about my body. I also read a lot of the threads about all sorts of things and am amazed at the knowledge I have picked up over the last year or so!

BekZ - you poor thing - pap smears are just horrible and I can only imagine how awful biopsies would be. I hope it comes back clear this time. I had slightly abnormal results on mine last year and was told to have another one in 6 months and if still abnormal, may need to have a biopsy. Luckily the next one was fine so I am back on 2 yrly tests.

Jenjams- three pap smears in 3 wks - what an awful experience! I get so tense that I shiver and it only gets worse when they tell me to relax, then I start full on shaking! Good luck with the tiles!

Hi to everyone else.

So happy to hear from you Cilmum cant believe how quickly it has gone...

Bekz i hope everything comes back a OK for you...

Well ARGH at waking up at the wrong time i keep waking to early and my temps are WACKO.... Still no coverline but now today i have watery cm and heaps of it so not sure what to think, i had lots of cm about 4 days after i Oed last time but i think from notes it was more creamy then this i have pretty dry the last few days so still +ve i Oed Wed or Thurs and that this is just like i had last time but going to dtd AGAIN just incase....

Im off to a Modern cloth nappy display tomorrow in Melb so thats pretty excited we have decided to use cloth nappies so be good to check some out and im meeting up with Bron from on BB so that will be good to put a face to the name.....

I hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend even if the weather is yucky and windy here....

Bun - I was fine on the clomid (50mg I think). No real side effects that I can remeber so all in all a good experience - hence me wanting to get back on it ASAP. Have my FS appt Monday so even though I fell pg with Angel baby without clomid while b/f I hope he will put me back on it without too many questions. I have been TTC for 7 cycles since m/c so think I have suffered enough disappointments (as we all have)!. I fell pg on cycle 4 of clomid with DS so hope it happens sooner this time!
Bun, pls don't think that you will not even fall pg again next time. By all means see what your FS thinks but if anything it is more likely a dodgy test this time than anything else. There is still a chance you are UTD though so time will tell. All the best to you.....
Hello to all the other lovelies - hope you're enjoying your weekends!!

Oh Bun, am sending you a big hug:hugs: I hope mummyto1 is right and it was a dodgy test.
Mummyto1 when are you testing? Fingers crossed, tell AF to take a hike and visit Sharon instead so she can get busy.
Janeo let me know what you think about the modern nappies. I am still undecided.
Maz welcome. I read your post about losing the twins and had tears in my eyes. A new cycle should start when you put the date in of the D&C or period in FF. I didn't know and didn't think I would need to put my membership on hold when I got pregnant so lost a months membership.
Cilmum thanks for popping in and giving me hope. Best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy.
Leyla I'm with you in the TWW and it drives me bonkers. I am addicted to testing so will have to get DH to hide them until about CD13 so I don't get sad testing too early.
BekZ I like your healthy outlook and good luck getting "in tune".
Jenjams I hope those tiles aren't causing you headaches.
Hi Herbie and Shan and anyone I have missed.

I am 5dpo today but I think I am getting a cold so feel miserable today. My friend and I were talking yesterday and we are amazed at how much we know about TTC and what our bodies are doing. It's a pity they won't behave and do what they are supposed to.

All i have researched on them and after talking to a number of people we are sooo going with them.. If you like i can you can contact me on email address and i can give you some idea of the ones i like and some sites..

Well i think im oing today cos im sooo moody, heaps of cm not quite ew but i didnt get ew last time so have to talk poor DP into it AGAIN even he is over the whole thing LOL...

Bun - you poor thing! This up and down stuff is so hard to deal with! Are you sure it was not just a dodgy test like mummyto1 said? I was looking at the positive HPT gallery on FF. Loads of them were so faint I could not even see them, have you tried testing again?

Mummyto1 - It's Sunday, I hope that AF stays far away from you and you get a BFP!

Janeo - You'll have to let us know about the cloth nappy thing. I had not really thought about it until a friend from work had a bubba recently and is using them. She is an environmentalist and wanted to use them cause they are better for the environment, but I'm interested to know the other benefits. Let us know how you go!

Jenjams - hope the tiles are going well! I hate having unfinished jobs around the house... which is unfortunate for me as there is currently loads!

Tinsel - Hope that cold goes away quickly!

Maz - good luck with the next cycle.

Hi to everyone else, hope you have a lovely relaxing sunday!

love

Leyla
