Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage/Loss - November 2009

sorry to hear af turned up craftymummy, eliselouise and looppylouie.

coco1411 hope you are ok, and it wasn't on this thread that you got a nasty comment. i think we are all nice enough on here. sometimes people say things and it's hard to understand how they were intended but it must have upset you enough for you to not want to post.
sounds like the herbs are working, so are you just waiting till your next appointment with the specialist before ttc again?

ferrals4 hope you have had a nice and relaxing weekend, with no stress. let us know how you get on monday.

twin sis, i'm sure you will be ok after the vaccination. they would not advise you to have it if they didn't think you needed it or were at risk.

ric that was a long cycle, hopefully things will be more regular for you now.

i have decided to add a ticker as i think i ovulated yesterday and it fits with that heavier bleeding i had at the beginning of this month. at least i can use it as some sort of count down :) and i'm please to say the tablets worked, but i'm not sure whether to continue taking them or stop now.

Thanks spf wasnt on this thread no..but yeah It made me want to stop coming to BB... :(
I dont know what we're doing re ttc...I think i might ovulate on cd14 which as i found out is wed when dh is home..but having second thoughts at the moment..there is just so much going on.

Glad to see you have some countdown!! Good luck with everything hun

My beutiful Darlings I have missed you so much. My computer has been at the doctors for 2weeks it was awfull, never realised how much I relied chatting to you girls untill I couldn't!
Thank you to the girls who were asking about me XXXXXXX
I'm so sorry I have missed so much, it has taken me 2days to read up on you all and catch up on everything thats happening.
Gunne be a loooong post!

SammyP and TwinSis congratulations to you both what wonderfull news, you both deserve so much and wishing you both H+H pregnancies, sorry I was not around for your announcements.
Twinsis since reading your post, I have been seriously thinking of getting the H1N1vacc too, Iv'e not been able to make a decision on whether to get it or not...I dunno, but you really have made me rethink my decision.

Matthew'sMum sorry to hear that AF showed, good luck for the next round of clomid, what dose has Doc got you on this time round??

Craftymummy, Loopielouieand Eliselouise AF is a biaaatch, sorry it wasn't your month either X I know how hard it is to start the month all over again............
Craftymummy I understand that each month you O is a bonus, so I'm counting on you to cheer me up with a BFP announcement for christmas! :hug:
Elise how is DB sister doing hun?? XXX

Mummyof4 6 days now sweetheart, I'm sending you strength vibes to hold it out, I get like a stitch feeling in my ovary area by the way when I O. And EWCM.

SPF, I don't blame you for not wanting to go to the party, I'm the same. Glad to hear that the Vitex and Vits are working out for you! Love your ticker well done! X
Sorry to hear the spotting has been continuouse for you babe, do you think the Cyklo...medicine worked or made a difference?

Ric :hug: I'm sorry that you have been feeling down, you know you should post and let us know when youre down so we can help cheer you up!! Anyways I'll start fresh with you. 40day cycle would've been agony.

Coco I'm glad to see that the herbs youre taking are doing their thing! Sounds like you have got some positive info, hope it does give you that boost sweety, and if you do go ahead with the IUI treatment I wish you all the very best X I know I was not a success story on that one, but there are so many that are, one of my friends just found out that her 3rd IUI was a success. Sorry to hear that you got a nasty reply somewhere on the threads, when I logged on 2days ago I had a private msg, I thaught it was one of you girls missing me, but it was an Action notice warning me I'd have a point taken off my reputation If I didn't shorten my signature, (mind you it has been the same size for atleast 2months)wasn't the nicest welcome back note I was hoping for, made me feel really flat, and has taken me 2days to get the nerve to post!! So I know how you feel.
Atleast you know you will never get a nasty comment here darling X
I praise the Mods so much for what they do and how ther look after us, it just took me back a little.

SnuglyBugly 1month to go woohoo!!! Oh, and welcome back to officially TTC with us maddies :D
Missed you darling XX Heaps.

Emmy83 grat to hear that your Lap went well X

Ferrals....wow....I just want to say that I'm so so sorry I have missed out on so much of your journey already. You have not been far from my mind, but I feel awfull that I haven't been there to support you through your first needles, your happy moments and nervouse ones.
11 is a great number to have, good work! I just want to let you know, that when you have youre trigger tonight, please please give it as slow as you possibly can, it will sting a whole lot less, and will have a chance to get into your subcut fat layer. I found that I had quite a large red raised pocket after having my triggers, OH! and make sure you don't give it right under your belly button, I did that once and was so painfull to have pants on! Right where my zipper and button was!!! Good luck for tomorrow sweetheart I will be thinking of you, am dying to hear how you go XXXXXX

:welcome: Greencake X Sorry you have to be here, but we are all a wonderful bunch of friends, glad you found us, and good luck for your journeys ahead XX

Bookworm, Sparkles, Tanya, JulesWA, Cherished and all those I missed, hope you are all well, and again sorry for the absence girls, love you all XXXX

Evening Ladies

WELCOME BACK Murraycod we sure did miss you I was worried you had gone into meltdown so glad it was your PC not you !
I had that same message about my signature too but with me there are soooo many bits I thought oh well just have to stick to the ticker so I know where | am !
Ferrals hope your resting up and ready for your harvest sounds like you need a combine the amount of folicles you have :lol:
Spfairy so glad you now have a ticker we can watch your progress now too !
matthews mum goodluck with this cycle I know your aniversary is comming up so special :comfort: just for you and fingers crossed this is your month santa needs a good few BFPS to deliver in Dec.
Everyone else hope your all well and travelling along with us all on the TTC journey we are all after the same wonderful prize !

AFM well I have been ok since AF arrived and she was quite kind to me not too much pain, I am still taking the vitex and have doubled up to 2 a day until just past O then I will go back to 1 for the rest of my cycle just to make sure I definately do get O around day 13 and will also be using the opk sticks so fingers crossed it will be a good month for me, here we go again ! :D

hey murraycod, glad to see you back :) i bet there was a lot to catch up on! i think the tablets did work really well and i'm glad i'm all sorted out now.

good luck this cycle craftymummy9, maybe we will be belly buddies :)

Good morning everyone

Sorry for my lack of postings in the week.

Great to meet you MurrayCod, you and I are testing on the same day next week so fingers crossed for us both :crossfingers:

Sorry to those AF has visited in the last week

Good luck to those testing soon :crossfingers:

Sorry for the lack of detailed persies, I need to ensure that I post every couple of days so I can keep up on things. :redface:

AFM I have decided to quit my second job, it means I only will be working 3 days per week, and hopefully that will relax me. Now we have to look for a new place to live…

On a positive note I got my first +opk this month ( I either wasn’t testing right last month or didn’t o), so we are in with a chance, however I am not overly positive as I have brown discharge 3 days before o, which was very weird.:dunno:

Anyway testing on Tuesday next week. Now I have written that down I am committed to not testing earlier, hopefully you can all help me keep to this plan.

murraycod, so glad to see you back, we have been missing you and wondering where you had gotten too. Glad to hear that you are ok and that it was only your computer that was sick. Thanx for asking about DB's sister. No real changes still. We went down to melb and seen her on friday and it was harder than i thought. She was just lying there hooked up to so many machines, neck brace on and just not moving. She is breathing by herself now which is good but blood pressure is up and down constantly. Just praying that she wakes up soon
Greencake good to hear that you got a +ve on the OPK, ive never had one so that must be exciting for you, hopefully this is your month. And hopefully cutting back on work hours will help to reduce your stress levels, i wish i could do that but mine have just increased to 48 hrs a week, not looking forward to it at all.
Craftmummy good luck with o this month and hopefully the vitex does the trick for you and you can get a lovely chrissy present.
SPF yay to ovulating yesterday, your ticker looks good, hopefully you can get a BFP for xmas too
Coco sorry to hear you didnt want to post due to the nasty message, how rude of that person. Sounds like the herbs the naturopath has put you on are working, do you know what they are called the ones that are helping your digestive systrem? Im thinking of going to naturopath and thought i might ask about them.
Ferals hope youve been able to rest and the transfer goes well for you.
Ric sorry to hear your having a tough time, that is a very long cycle, hopefully you can get a BFP very soon.
Hello to everyone else i have missed and i hope you all had a good weekend.
AFM not too much happening just waiting for AF to leave the building and then countdown is on till o day. Think i might try ands use the OPK's again this month. Have never had a positive with them but i think ill keep trying.
Good luck to anyone who is testing this week

ferrals - good luck with the transfer. thinking of you.

Hey girls I had my EPU we got 8 eggs the FS said i am not at risk for OHSS now she is not worried as my ovaries are perfect size and she thinks it was because i had a few really big follicles that pushed my E2 up so she has even put me on etrogen support tablets as she is worried my E2 will drop to much (go figure :dunno:) anyway so now we wait for the fertilisation report and pray they make it all the way to day 5 they need to be grade 1 embryos to do the pgd testing so this is where it gets really scarey two of the ladies on another thread had embryos at day 5 that were not grade 1 so they could not test them and that was the end of the road for them anyway i wont go on to much i am feeling pretty sore so i am going to have a bath and relax.

Murrycod-wondered where you got to and i had to inject half the amount of the trigger and it diddnt hurt maybe because it was one o'clock in the morning and i was so tired.

Zstar-thanks for keeping your eye out for me keep those fingers crosses for me.

Ferrals I'm so glad that today went well, and is over for you!X Seems like yesterday we were still counting down the weeks untill you could start!
I'm sure with 8eggies you will end up with some snowbabies to keep for later on XX
If you don't mind me asking, did it hurt today? Were you just sedated or did you have general anasthetic? I'm just a bit terrified of the egg collection part :redface:
Have a well earned rest darling, hope the next 5 days goes quickly for you X

Elise thanks for sharing X You are a very strong lady to go in and visit under those circumstances, I pray that she wakes up soon too X I hope that DB is coping ok X

On a brighter note to make you smile :dance:
one of my dogs turned 4 today, and I had to take her to the vet which is a 1hour drive from where I live. Her name is Loomis ( i named her after my fishing rod if you wondering where I got the name from!)
Well DH was needing the ute, so I had to drive her in my Rav4. About 4km away from the vet clinic she projectile spewed bright yellow dog vomit all over me and the steering wheel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was so grose! And talk about stink, my lordy lord!
Anyways we were even after the vet shoved a thermometer in her but :o
I had a bejayjay wax appt after that which obviously i had to cancell (not happy, that'l teach DH for needing the ute!) Took Loomis to McDonalds for lunch, terrorised the pet shop and braught her a squeeky toy, and thank god she slep all the way home, what more could a dog ask for on it's birthday huh??? Spew all over mum, get a thermometer shoved in the but, Maccas for lunch, play at the pet shop and choose the loudest squeeky toy that was ever made :p Spoilt. Happy birthday Loomis! Little bugger.

Greencake looks like we are POAS buddies! Actually I don't think I have O'd yet....hmmmm sometimes I do very late.

SPF and Crafty thanks for the welcome back sweethearts XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

Hi to all, hope Monday treated you well X

Morning ladies

Murrycod-i had a quarter of the normal sedation as i get really sick so i was wide awake and felt it all it was just uncomfortable and a few little pains when going into the ovaries but just a pich pain the needle through the vjay jay wall i diddnt even feel and i think the 4 attempts at getting the canula in my hand was worse i had cramping afterwards which a heat pack and panadole helped and i feel great now just a bit sore sort of like period pain and tender i dont dare push on my belly though but all in all i feel good just drinking a heap of water and lucazade and protien drinks.

Hi everyone,Murraycod-Glad your computer is fixed,you've been missed,just finished clomid days but fs had me on 150mg,looking at your ticker,not long before testing'good luck'...Craftymummy-Thanks for the hug,i needed it...Greencake-good luck for next tuesday...Ferrals-glad your feeling well,hope everything goes well with the fertilisation period afm-finished clomid,start 'o' sticks today,wait.

Murraycod glad your dog had a good bday I :ROFL: when I read your message what a day you had ! I thought kids were enough trouble going out in the car !
Matthews mum hope you get 2 lines on your opk soon and plenty of :bd:
everyone else in the TWW fingers crossed for you and all those in the run up to O hope you get the right day this month we need some more BFPs in here before santa arrives ,

AFM im on day 5 and AF left the builing yesterday so just waiting now for day 11 to start my OPK worked well last month only used 2 and was better doing it late afternoon around 4 like someone advised me can't remember who but thanks !:D

Hello ladies,

I just wanted to pop in and say hi.

I won't do persies as there is so much to catch up on, but I do want to say
Ferrals - that's great news :)
coco - I'm sorry that you are still here, and I hope the naturopath helps
hello to all the ladies who remember me, and hello to those who I haven't met yet :)

AFM - Thyroid medication now kicked in and still no BFP. :( I've been referred on to FS, and now I have till THE END OF THIS YEAR to get that BFP, because if not, then the next step for us will be IVF or IUI, not sure which at this stage as our next appointment with the FS is early Jan - but I'm hoping I can cancel the appointment before then!

Babydust to all!!!!

Fantastic news Ferals4 I hope everything works out well.

Murraycod, I loved your story about Loomis it made me smile, I am dying to test so will need all my will power not to. How are you doing?

Eliselouise hope your SIL is doing better- good luck with using OPKs next time and sorry you have to work more hours then you want to

Hi Matthew’s mum have you has a positive OPK yet?

Craftymummy good luck for a positive OPK soon

hello to anyone I have missed. I hope you had a good day :)

AFM had a good day at work, went to my acupuncturist yesterday who said things were looking good (i.e. tongue and pulse). I am trying to stay strong and positive and not read too much into each twinge my body makes. Only one week to testing….

Thanks ladies i still wont let myself get excited i have had such a bad run of luck i am to scared to let myself feel the slightest bit optimistic i am terrified i will get hurt again.

Craftmummy-good luck with the opks and have fun BDing and hope you snag that egg.

Milly-sorry you have not had your BFP but good to hear you have your thyroid issue under control and hope you get to cancel the FS appt before jan cause you get your BFP the old fashioned way.

Greencake-my fingers are crossed for you.

Evening everyone,milly5-looking at your ticker ,you'll be testing soon'good luck'...Greencake-I tested tonight and opk was neg, bit early i think...ferrals-It's so understandable that your being a bit gaurded,one step at a time ,you'll get there...afm-will do another o test on Thursday,in a way i'm glad tonight 'o' test was negative as tomorrow being anniversary of loss,i'd probably cried through it and i'm thinking another precious life shouldn't be conceived through so many tears...

hello lovely ladies..so much to catch up on and by time i read through posts im exhausted and cant type lol....
I think i need to set myself a reminder to check more often although i do often think how all you ladies are going....especially when AF arrives or when i POAS lol
Shame both of those usually happen on the loo...lol
This month has got to be the month for us..bring us all much needed joy and extra christmas cheer i think
We have decided to stop trying so hard and obsessing over it every month..we found that when we were trying to conceive our son (now 2.5) that the minute we calmed down and stopped TRYING,within 2 months we were pregnant..although i promised this to hubby, i must admit that such simple things set my mind into overdrive of wanting another bundle of joy..sometimes men just dont get it...I miscarried in late June and didnt get a period for 3 months...then once got Af didnt get it for another 6 weeks(just finished in fact)..how can we not obsess over that..My gp said if not UTD by xmas then she sending me to reproductive clinic..a road i dont wish to travel,especially with Metformin ( i am a pcos sufferer also),but so worth it if we get our result we want so bad..and so called friends just dont get it..."u have 2 so why go again?",or "u got a boy and girl,b happy with that"......do i tell my friends that they have 2 pairs of same jeans or dont need those expensive shoes that will look great with this or that..no,i be the supportive friend..why cant they do the same?? thats why im glad,however unfortunate it is that we are all here on this forum,that we can all turn to our belly belly mates and know that when we get advice or a compliment,that its genuine..u girls rock...

baby dust and BFP's all round i say

Matthew'sMum, just popping in to let you know I'm thinking if you today, and to give you a hug X :hug::hug::hug:

Hi Ladies. Just a quick hi to you all. I wanted to see how you are all doing. I really miss chatting with you all but I'm feeling absolutley rotten and can barely drag my butt off the couch. It's good though i just hope I can get a Rx soon to help me through it.

Hi all

Ferrals: that is absolutely WONDERFUL news! Very very happy for you!!! :hug: After all you've been through its finally happening!!!

Matthews mum :grouphug: Hope you have a serene day today for your angel...I remember my day not being as traumatic as I had anticipated...It was actually a good day to let it go and accept it more..I made the concious decision to make a change with my attitude about the m/c that day and Im sticking to it...and I feel great! Hope you can feel the same when you're ready!

AFM: DH is away for work so been taking a break from TTC this month. We have a myriage of things happening here with work, house and other stuff and all this gearing up for IUI to begin..we just need a break. I feel good though about it and with taking these herbs I have lost 5kg now around my midsection so I have my normal nice tummy back :hooray:

I appologise for not posting so much lately..A few people are making BB like high school for me and it is not a nice feeling to come here at the moment..all because I asked for advice on something which is a common thing. But I do read your posts when I can and I am always thinking of you. Most of You ladies helped me when i was going through my darkest times and encouraged me and made me feel safe secure and most importantly, stay sane! For that, Im deeply thankful :grouphug:

Goodluck those testing soon and goodluck those in the bd marathons! I think Im ovulating today and dh gets home this afternoon so we'll see...but Im not thinking much about it at all!

Byee xx

hi
just a quick one at the moment..
Mathew'smum- I just want to let you know that i am thinking of you today. I hope today is just how you want it. HUgs!!

Hi all, just a quick post today as im already running late.
Ferals that is wonderful news, good luck with the next 4 days and hopefully youll get your BFP very soon
Matthewsmum thinking of you today hun, hope you are having an alright day and are surrounded by lots of support
Coco sorry to hear your having a tough time with people on this site, but YAY to the weight loss and the flat tummy, thats great
AFM not much happening, AF left yesterday so now the countdown to O is on again.
Hello to everyone else ive missed
Talk soon

Hi All

I have still been reading and crossing my fingers for you all. I got the results back from my blood test and it's looking good, the levels are still rising. I am feeling a tiny bit optimistic about this baby.

Thats great news Sammy hopefully you can start to enjoy your pregnancy more now, good luck and sending you lots of :pink-babydust: & :stickyvibesgirl:

hi to everyone, hope you had a good day

Matthew's mum- just wanted to let you know my thoughts have been with you today :hug:

Evening everyone,Thank you all for your kind thoughts & words,it means a lot to me.

well... a bit of a me post..
i had a blood test yesterday for some other things and i got the Dr to add a BHCG in there. Turns out that i am deffinatly NOT pregnant.. I was so sure this month. I have spent today crying, i dont know how to get through all this with out something to look forward too... we are out for next cycle already, i dont want #5 due on Kyarna's Birthday.

Mathew'smum- How did your day go hun? i hope you are ok!

Matthew's Mum hope you managed to get through the day ok.

~mummyof4~ not what you wanted to hear from the dr :( it might take the stress off a bit if you do decide to skip next month, then you can be ready to try again next year.

SammyP good news there with the levels rising, are you going to keep monitoring the levels?

coco1411 just ignore whoever it was who said those nasty comments, and know that we all care about you :)

Twin Sister try and rest up, have lots of sleep and hope you feel well again soon.

hubba_bubba07 hope you get your bfp soon, i know it's a pain when you aren't sure what is happening with your cycles. maybe you should try using opks if they are not back to being regular.

ferrals4 great news there! it all seems to be going well for you :)

Morning ladies

Coco-I can not believe people can be so cruel as if we dont have enough to deal with and people can still be petty and childish you have a great bunch of ladies here if you need any advice i'm all ears.

Mathewsmum-i was thinking of you i hope you got through the day ok.

Eliselouise-have fun catching that egg.

SammyP-good to hear all is going smoothly with you.

Mummyof4-sorry you did not get the BFP keep your chin up you will get through this one day at a time i didd'nt think i would it's been a year since i feel pregnant with abbi and my good days far outweigh my bad ones i promise you it will get a little easier over time just take one day at a time and some days can even be hour by hour but you will get through it.

SPF and the others i have missed hello.

AFM-I am waiting for the phone call for our day 3 embryo report and i am sooo nervous i feel sick i keep waiting for somthing to go wrong i can't help it.

morning everyone-Mummy of 4-sorry the test was neg,hope the tears have eased a bit for you today...Thanks for asking about my day,i did find it hit me harder than my edd,i tried to honour his short little life my donating bears back to the hospital where they sadly will be given to other greiving families,we also did a memory cake,had it around his grave,kids did a picture for his memory box,his grave was overflowing with flowers,and mummy was overflowing with tears we also had balloons as my 4 year old told me Matthew should have balloons on his birthday were going to release one up to the heavens today...thinking of you all and thank you again

ferrals-waiting with you,in my thoughts

Hi there ladies

Matthews mum glad your day is over and you can dry your eyes now and look forward to the future its so nice you were able to spend the day remembering together maybe now you can move forward a little easier,
Mummyof4 sorry you didn't get the BFP I know how hard it is when you just want to be pregnant again we all feel it and the more pg ladies you see walking around reminding you of how it should be is heart wrenching, I hope you can get some comfort over the next few days and look forward to next year and a BFP really soon !
Ferrals can't wait for an update !
Everyone else hope your all trucking along on this road of TTC with lots of smiles and positive thoughts this time next year we will be changing nappies and no time for the BB forum !

AFM well I had a melt down yesterday mainly after an email from a friend who is 14wks pregnant and saying how hard it is and maybe I should consider not trying anymore at my age ! well she is 30 and not MC before so how can she possibly know how it feels,
MY DH keeps telling me it will happen again and hopefully sooner rather than later he is so supportive but its not just getting the BFP is it ladies you then have the worry for 12 to 14 wks of it happening again ! need to get some strength from somewhere to get through this !

:pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust: To all that need some !

Well i was right to not get my hopes up they want them over 6 cells on day 3 we have
1)9 cells
2)8 cells
1)7 cells
2)5 cells
2)4 cells
the embroligist has said they are good to fair as they have some fragmentation so the last 4 wont make it and the first 4 need to have the energy to make it i am disapointed
