Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage/Loss - September 2009

[starangelk]

Morning ladies

CBG - I have been hoping and praying for you, so good to hear from you despite your news being both good and bad. Focusing on the good, yay! A heartbeat - wooohooo!! And also measuring 2 days ahead, that's got to be a good sign that the baby is growing and everything is spot on. The seperate sac.............I have heard of this before. Someone I used to work with went through this too - it all turned out well for her as I really hope it does for you too. This waiting time must be very difficult for you - I am really thinking of you.

EliseLouise - shame AF was tough on you this month, maybe it's because it's the last time she will be visiting for quite a while and she just doesn't want you to forget her

Hi to everyone else - there are so many of us now. Have a wonderful week.

AFM - I am waiting to O...........ff is being not so helpful considering I got a + OPK one night and then negatives ever since. It just doesn't line up but I knew this month would be all over the shop.

Hi all !

Chickybabe: That's great news!!! Wonderful!!! Ill be keeping an eye on your progress, it does sound good despite the other sac...do they think that could have been a twin? Or just another sac. IYKWIM..

I have a little problem..well a question..

I did a OPK yesterday thinking I would be a little late and It looked like the bum end of a positive....so I did another one today and I am unsure as to whether it is pos or not??

Could I have some assistance??

Also...the book in the background is absolutely HILARIOUS! and I urge you all to read it!! So funny for us chicks trying to get utd!

Anyway...here is the photo..

Furthermore...
My temps look as though I am in my luteal phase. Not about to ovulate.

My CM is a mix between sticky & creamy..

Coco - I've been counting my ones like that as negative.........but maybe I have been doing it wrong??

Hi everyone,

Chickybabe - Awesome news about the heartbeat. I bet that was wonderful to hear. Sorry about the extra news. I have my fingers crossed that it will just go away on its own for you.

Coco- The test line looks fainter to me so i would say its a negative. Hope you are doing well today.

Kyra & TinaR - anymore updates for us??

Eliselousie - Good to hear that a/f has left. Bring on that little eggie for you!

Murray cod - Wow i have friends in Robinvale and we visit a few times a year. My friend Ange works at the IGA in the office. Do you know her? My shop is next door to Wood and Co (real estate agents) just up a bit from the traffic lights in the main street.

Sunbeam - I miss your positive posts! Hope you are lurking and doing ok.

Ferrals - If you are lurking i hope you have found some wonderful ladies in your new forum. We miss you!

Big hellos to everyone else.... Cherished, starangel, .....Im having a memory blank..... Everyone!!

AFM - Im 10 dpo. Not much going on. Not feeling positive or negative... Just cruising along and not thinking much about it. Feeling like we need a little bit of happy splashed around here. Hope everyone is feeling lots of support and love in real life.

Coco - Sorry Coco, I don't use the ovulation kits so I can't really say. I did try them once and the line never really went that dark, your photo is darker than any result I got.

Chickybabe - What a relief to at least know what your body is doing and why. I think this will be a sticky babe. Did they give you an idea as to when they feel the danger has passed and you can relax and enjoy the pregnancy?

Maddison - We went for a holiday in Swan Hill last year as DH had a conference there and I tagged along as I have family in Swan Hill. I remember going into a baby clothes shop as it was when we were just starting TTC and I was feeling clucky. Great clothes but they were really expensive labels and not something I was expecting in a country town so I had to pretend to the lovely sales lady that I just hadn't found anything I quite wanted and sneak out.

AFM - Not entirely sure whether I had ovulation or not but I think I did we took advantage of it so now I am in the TWW.

Chickybabe, that's so great you have a heartbeat! I'm praying that all goes well for you and you have a beautiful baby to hold in your arms.

Best of luck to everyone TTC. AF is mostly gone now, thank goodness. This cycle may seem like eternity for me, trying to wait. Per my OB's instructions, we can try after this next cycle is over. It's a little strange, using an OPK for the "opposite" reasons this time around. I have a lot of skin allergies, so condoms are out for birth control. We'll take a break when I get a positive O this month. I guess I'll try to concentrate on losing weight instead, keep my mind busy that way. I've lost about 5 pounds so far (a little over 2 k).

Coco I would dtd honey. That's either the end or the start. Either way your window is open IMO.

Personally - I only got those type of results when I was about to ovulate..

[coco1411]

Thanks everyone

I did another one before and it was negative, no questioning it. So We'll dtd anyway and see how we go! I said this yesterday too, but tomorrow's temp will fill me in either way!

[murraycod]

Maddison I may know Ange if I saw her but dn't think I know her personally though.
I have lived here for 4yrs but my DH was born here and he seems to know everybody!
I will definately pay you a visit when i'm in SHill next.

Chickybabe I like that you hang around still, we all love to hear how you are going and I'm sure you have made plenty of close friends here that love to help you through this part of your journey.
Congratulations on the heartbeat!!!!!! I'm sure even though the news is 50/50 you have a very sticky bub there....what you have gone though in the last week would'v sent me to the psychiatric ward

Eliselouise good luck this month darling

Bookworm great to hear that AF settled for you over the past couple of days. Goodluck to you this month too!!

SammyP and Tanya wouldn't it be great if someone could invent a pill that makes you sleep for two weeks?!?
Keep buisy and healthy, hope it goes by fast for you both x
Tanya I'm sorry that your EDD is lurking close, mine is Oct 25. I have always said I could cope if I were pregnant again at that time, but will be a mess if im not. I hope that you get your well earned BFP this month. We will all be here for you x

Starangel and Coco I'm not much of a help with the OPK's, looks like there will be quite a few in the TWW if they were positive. BD anyway!!!!!

AFM no changes, hoping that Friday brings good news.

I do have a question though.

Last month I had my Pregnyl Trigger shot on day 13 and IUI on day 14........
This month Im having to have more needles and anoth scan on Friday which will be day15.
Is it possible for me to "O" natural before friday??? I'm a little worried that day 15 is a little too late for a scan and day 16 too late for IUI.
And if everything works out fine my *&#cycle will be 2 days longer.............2 more days I have to wait for my results

Can anyone shed some light??

Hi all !

Chickybabe: That's great news!!! Wonderful!!! Ill be keeping an eye on your progress, it does sound good despite the other sac...do they think that could have been a twin? Or just another sac. IYKWIM..

Hi Coco

I wondered the exact same thing - i saw it on the screen and instantly thought 'oh no TWINS'. The sonographer and the midwife didnt mention a twin. I didnt ask but as i am still feeling curious about it i am going to ask my GP when i see her. The midwife said it was to do with implantation. Something to do with it not implanting - but i dont know if she meant the baby didnt implant there and chose a different spot or there was meant to be another baby implanting and it didnt ?
I'm a bit confused myself !

Hope everyone is well...

I am quietly dying at home and hoping like crazy that people IRL leave me alone (hence my location status)

Hi,

I am new to this forum but I want to share my story and hopefully makes sense of it all. We have been trying for a baby since the end of 2006 and since then I've had 3 miscarriages, all early. I have irregular AF so it is hard to know when I'm ovulating, etc. I have had several tests done, blood tests, laparoscopy and hysterectomy (spelling??), hubby had mobility tests and nothing gives us answers. Anyway to cut a long story short, i've just been prescribed Clomid by my gyno. Has anyone in a similar situation to me been successful using clomid and gone full term? I'm just scared that I'll miscarry again and as all you know, it's not an easy thing to go through.

Also, what do some of the lingo you use mean? Like 2ww, tww, etc.

Thanks for reading.....

Hi Loopylouie

Welcome to the thread, I'm sorry to hear about your losses and I hope you find some support here. I can't help you with the use of clomid but someone else here might be able to. Sorry sweetie, but I'm curious to know what test you had as a hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus which I am sure you didn't have.

2ww or tww stand for "two week wait" which is the painful waiting game of two weeks between ovulation and when you can test to see if you are pregnant. You might find this thread helpful as it explains the common abbreviations.
