Oh Mako - Im so happy for you sweets!!! YAY - WHOOO HOOO Sending you lots of sticky vibes and wishing you a h&h pg!
Shan my sweet - you sound very happy and positive and sounds like your making way in your weight loss campain. I pray it all leads to a bfp for you (a suprise bfp would be good )
A big hi to all you lovelies, sending you all the in the world, hope to see some more grads soon
That's WONDERFUL news, Mako!!! And excellent hcg levels too!!! I'm off to see a doctor I used to see when I lived in Griffith tonight, bit of a drive but I just can't go back to the doctor in this town. Even if he's supposed to be the better of the two at the centre. I still can't believe he asked me how many lines I saw on the HPT that I'd done prior to coming in. And that he'd organise a blood test to confirm the pregnancy but NOT order hcg levels. The HPTs that I've done today are coming up with strong second lines now and so I've got a little bit of hope and I'm still trying to be positive!!!! I'm sure the sticky vibes everyone is sending me are helping. Thank you!!
Way to go Shan on the weight loss!!! That's just excellent. You must feel brilliant!!
Thanks Sarah. Yes, I have a negative blood group and DP has a positive blood group and just maybe I already have antibodies working away and I might not know it. I'll enquire tonight.
CONGRATS MAKO!!!!!! Thats fantastic news matey soooo happy for you and lots of sticky vibes coming your way....
Shan sooo good to hear from you YAY on the weight loss sooooo happy for you....

Anyhoo all good here waiting waiting waiting for the coverline i dont think i have oed yet but god i hate waiting then i have to go throught the TWW again grrr...
Hi to everyone. It has been a while since I posted but have been lurking and lots has happened in the last week or so with you guys. Welcome to all the new people and I hope your journey in this TTC thread is short.
I am on CD13 so waiting to O which usually happens around CD20. I have a good feeling this month and feel like my body is back to normal and raring to go. We are covering all bases to catch that egg this month and I don't even care if we have a Christmas baby!
Sorry to hear about everyone lost I am recovering from mine I had a D&C feb 28 and my miscarriage was Janurary 3, 2007. I had my check up today and I have to go back tomorrow for lab work since my d&c I havent went down to 0 that's why I have to go back in the morning what do that mean my it has to get down to zero.
AAAAHHHHH still no af. On day 35-36. I am getting cramps in the morning like she is coming but she never arrives. Geez, its nice for women to be fashionably late but please! I think I have been more than patient.
Kerry- How did the trip to the other doc go? Hopefully they put your mind at ease.
nikilove- Sorry to hear about your loss. The docs want to check your hcg levels that they are going back to 0.
Mako- great news!
Salt- looks like your af and my af are out shopping together and have a huge credit card limit to spend..... Damn that Stella McCartney sale at Target! Come home girls!
What if it hasnt gone back to zero and when should I start trying for another baby. If I start trying now will it not happen if I havent gone back to zero?
thanks
Welcome to our thread, and BellyBelly. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
As for the tests your DR wants to carry out. Obviously they have found that your HCG levels (which are your homones that sustain your pregnancy) are still in your system, and considering you had your m/c at the begining of Jan, and you've had a D&C, and your HCG is still not at 0, they could be concerned that there may still be something left over in your uterus from your m/c causing your hormone levels to stay elevated. Either that, or they may be very slow in dropping, depending on how far into your pregnancy you were when you had your m/c & D&C.
As for starting to TTC again, I would personally wait until you have the allclear from your DR that your levels are at 0, because if there is something still in your uterus from your previous pg, and you were to get pregnant again, there more than likely would be problems resulting in another m/c.
I know it's hard hun, but have to listen to your body and just be patient until you know things are 100%. Fingers crossed that you're levels have dropped to 0 and you can get on with the job of making a beautiful, healthy bubba. Good luck.

Hi all
Niki ask your dr about molar pregnancy as that can be one reason for still having hcg hormones hanging around.
Kerry how was your appt with the drs hope they were more sensitive this time. Just stay positive and take each day as it comes
AF had only a short visit with me this time oh well back on the carousel for another go round of bding and fingercrossing that we can catch that eggie
Love and hugs
well the good aunt has come home from shopping this morning. I don't think I have been happier to have seen her in a long time. Day 35 has now turned back to day one.... Now to start charting. And I have to go to the docs next week to have her do that lovely test that all girls love!
Its going to be a positive year for everyone girls.
BekZ - good on you re the exercise - that's great! Boo to your SIL - do some people think before they say things? You really do have to wonder, talk about insensitive. I would have cracked it at that comment. It's true what Nicole said - we are probably all feeling a bit senstive right now anyway, so we could really do without insensitive comments like that!
Hi Tinsel - good to hear you sounding so positive. Hopefully this month will be THE month for you. It's funny how perspective changes - I used to not want a Christmas baby, but now I don't care when one comes along, as long as it is happy and healthy!
Sp - yay on your coverline!! It looks great. I had extra long cycles after each of my m/cs which was really frustrating, but it looks like you are nearly there! Do you have to see your OB again after AF to check that everything is ok, or did they say to just get right back into it?
Hey SP - Not too sure. If your DR has told you to wait till AF because of the clot, then i'd probably do that. Then i'd go back an ask for an ultrasound to see if the clot's gone and maybe a BT to check your HCG levels. It can't hurt!.
I guess it depends on everybody and at what stage they m/c. I know with mine, i had a complete m/c at just under 8weeks and didn't require a D&C and all ultrasounds came up clear, so you know that your homone levels will decrease and it's fine to start going once AF arrives. But for some HCG levels could be so high, that after a m/c and even after a D&C, they are still reducing, and then in Niki's situation, it had been quite a while since her m/c to still be recording levels of hcg, that made me think that maybe something was left behind. It's all very confusing, i know, and everyone is different. Just talk to your OB and see what they say.

Hi Niki
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I too had a m/c last year and had to wait a while to try again becuase of my HCG reading... (3 blood tests latter.... yuckkkkk)
Finally it reached 0 and the doctor just told me to wait a month and then to start TTC again.
Take care and good luck
Just wanted to pop in and say hello and I miss you!!! Okay this is going to sound a little strange but I had a dream about you last night! I cant really remember the dream but I remember seeing you (your avatar) in a centre we were both visiting??? Anyway, I hope your keeping well and im praying a little baby will make its way to you and your DH shortly. XOXOXOX
Renee
For some reason I missed some posts and have had to go back and read this thread over again. It has been very busy in here. Sorry if I miss anyone.
Mako- CONGRATES sticky vibes and here's to a h&h pregnancy.
Nikki - Sorry for your loss hon. I have to have a BT in 2 wks time to check HCG levels. At the time of my D and C my level was 18,0000, which is very high apparently so they want to make sure they go down to 0.
I think it is highly unlikely that you'll O if there is still hCG in your system, because this is the hormone that stops O.
Jen - Good to see AF has arrived.
Kerry - How you going?
Bun - Yes my SIL does not think of anyone else but herself some times.
Hello everyone else goodluck with waiting for AF, O and TWW.
It is 4wks today since my scan confirmed our baby had no heartbeat. I am feeling ok. I have had a few days of cramps but no sign of AF.
SP - Good to see that you have a cover line, this probably means your hCG levels are 0.
SP - what a horrible dream! You poor thing. I too always wanted to be pg over winter, and I certainly didn't want a baby around xmas/NY, but that really is my last concern atm! I am doing alright - been a bit teary last night and today for some reason - I had been doing so well lately and then I seem to go backwards again. I just don't see how it can work out, ie - I don't see how I can get pg and actually have a live baby after 9 mths, my head just has trouble accepting that this could actually happen, it just expects it to die again.
BekZ - I hope you are doing ok today. It is always hard to think of where you would be had things not turned out the way they did. Thinking of you...
Huge congrats to you. That is fab news! Hope it is the stickiest ever.
