Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #4

im certainly not going anywhere yet!!!
I tested again this morning, and finally got a line thats visible without squinting!!!! YAY!
joey, hoping yours is following too honey :)

im so late for work, bbl for more!!! have a good day lovelies :)

WOO HOO Tina!!! It's official, you're UTD--Congratulations!! :happyforyou: Did you call about a BT yet? :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:

You know you're addicted to BB when... class is about to start and you're quickly typing away at the back on the computer, hoping the kids don't see what you are typing!!

So, the fact the my test was a little lighter this morning... does that mean that it was a chemical preg and it's on it's way out already???

Tina, how many tests did you take, and when, and were they all a little bit darker each time or did they go back and forth between lighter and darker. I've never had any that are really dark.

How long from your first feint one till your dark one?

I'm trying not to stress out too much, but I am really having trouble.

Symptoms (sore BB's) don't seem to be as bad this morning either. I hope they pick up as the day goes on.

:(

Thank you Jen805!!.... I have all these symptoms.. ( I know them being mental is a high possibily) but how can I "mentally" make my nippies & areolas (sp?) darker ? How can I mentally make my cervix remain so high it's hard totouch?.. Ya know?.. just stuff like that.. I feel like a slug.. CM is abundant but not foul or anything bad.. just creamy abundant stuff..LOL (sorry if TMI)

Mollycat: With my first son I did a blood test that came back negative (notto mention endless HPTs all negative) 3 days after the neg blood tests doc did an ultrasound to reveal ..this...

I was 6w2d

on my 1st m/c I got a BFP...went to doc to confirm and doc said he saw "hemorrhaging"... meaning blood hadn't yet come out but it was "happening" inside.. and finally my last preg.. ( a m/c also) I did get a BFP... went to doc next day to confirm..yup 6w4d and not even 2 days later bleeding again..that night I went to ER and the u/s revealed that once more my baby was gone.. :(


I did a due date calculator for women with longer cycles.. and it said I would be 5w4d today.. I want to see if I reach the 6w mark without AF coming.. if it goes like that then I am POAS like a maniac..LOL

Baby/ Sticky dust donations accepted..

How about you girlies.. what have I missed?.. oh BTW thanks for the input I will def "look" for a link when the posts are closed.. I didn't know that..sorry I'm such a noobie... :doh:


LOL

:hug: all around and I hope to hear from you girlies!!

OMG Tina... (I'm catching up).. CONGRATS MOMMA!! I hope you have a healthy happy 9 months and baby!! WOOHOOOO!!!

Hey Ruthie how the heck did you get those little fireworks to go off???? That's way cool! As per your request: :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: :bluedust: :pink-babydust:

LOL.. Thank you.. I sure need it.. Monday will be my deadline to POAS and maybe get a BFP.. if not then I have to see a doc ASAP cuz I'm on CD55 today (I took fertility meds this month to TTC) that's why I'm very hopeful that I did conceive...:pray:

I have like 20 HPTs now (talk about a POAS maniac?..) that's me...:lol::rolleyes::cryinglaugh::dance:

so I will at least do one per day.. LOL

Thank you and BABY DUST to ya too momma!!!

I can't wait to hear you guys got BFPS!!!! I missed you terribly as I didn't know my way around here.. I'm glad I poked around to day and found you!!!:dance:

oh the pic thing is in Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket type in congrats on your BFP and it will show up!!:lol:

So, Ruthie, do you have to join Photobucket? And do you type it in while on that site, then copy and paste? I'm confused! :confused:

yeah.. photobucket is free.. you type any keyword of whatever type of image you are looking for and it has coded in the bottom..depends where you are posting.. for example it has HTML codes to post in myspace..and it has direct link code and IMG code (the one that works here)
it's a really cool site it had image codes for blogs really nice.

ruthie: thasts so cool! fireworks and all!!! thanks so much babe!! praying that you get your BFP soon too :)

jen: im lucky that hubby can write me a referral for a BT, but i wont be able to get it done till friday...at least the HCG will have had a good chance to multiply and be abundant!

ok now joey: So I did my first test (and second!!) on Saturday. That was 14 DPO. 2 different brands, 2 really really faint lines.
Then I tested again on Sunday, and again, barely there line. Probably the same intensity (or lack of!) that there was on Saturday.
I didnt test Monday, but I did again today. Yet another different brand. Finally its definitely darker, but im 17DPO now! So that was 3 days after the first feint one...
So I think thats enough peeing on sticks for me. Ill do my BT on Friday and see how I go...also, I feel less sore today (BBs), and definitely not as sick as I was yesterday...but im not over analysing either.
As Katiegirl says, make this your mantra : "symptoms are not a good indicator of a healthy pregnancy"! thanks Katie :)
Good luck joey...please keep us posted ...

Think we need some :pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesbo y::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Having a hard time keeping up. Am so sorry to hear that AF (should be AB standing for Aunt B***hface) has been around.

joey - you certainly are on the rollercoaster atm.

Congrats again Tina.

Angelbabies - I know you are here. I think we need one of your cybercakes in here..... any possibility of firing up the oven? I would make one but yours are just the BEST!!!

Big Big hugs to everyone.

Hi girlies....

Ruthie - good to have you back, I was missing your colourful flashing picture filled posts! And you of course ;) Now dont go MIA again!

Tina - congrats on the darker lines...now go and get that bt done and put your mind at rest!

Joey - sorry about the continual light tests, I know how frustrating this is! I was in the same position last month, im sorry.... but I knew my feint tests were not a good sign....they have all ended in 3 m/c....but this is just for me, others have had faint tests and have gone onto have healthy and happy pg'cys. Its just one of those things im afraid. My sister told me that she has given loads of pg tests to women in hospital and quite often they come back with very light lines, but upon further investigation...i.e. u/s...there has been a foetus with a h/b! Everyone is different!
Only time will tell, and im :pray: thats it all good news for you hun.

I have to go, im being a bum and still in my pj's....no walk this morning (but def will tonight!) but I did have another healthy brekkie and I even managed to refuse maccas yesterday when I was there for a childrens bday party! Anyway...Ill bbl for more persies later :)

Issy

Thank you Tina.. good luck momma! 1keep us posted on the BT!!...
Issy!!..Girl.. I really had it rough..when I tried to post on the thread that we met , it said closed and it wouldn't let me type.. I freaked out and was so sad to lose you guys.. as you know I'm a real noobie here and it was today when I started to poke around for better luck..and I F:clap::cheer:OUND YOU GUYS!! WWAAAHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!:dance:
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/confetti.gif

I'm super excited to have found you girlies again.. my girlies here explained to me how to move on when a thread is closed so you will be seeing more of me!!..LOL

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...st/bfpdust.gif

I promise I will come back in a little bit to post more persies, but I just wanted to make a quick post to Joey. Honey I got mostly faint lines for ages. It depends on the brand of hpt too. My cheaper sticks were really faint to see the line, but the first response tests were easier to read for me.

Plus, looking at your chart I wouldn't be surprised if bubba implanted late on day 11 so might have started making hcg later. You might just have less hcg in there because of that. Don't lose hope, your temp still looks fabulous! Maybe book at blood test so that you don't worry and you can know the number :hug: You're doing great mumma!!!

Thanks girls,

I think may be I should call the doctor and go for a few blood tests over the next few days. I'm feeling a bit nervous about going and seeing my doctor, cause he told us to wait!! I don't want to get in trouble!! But most likely, he won't be available so I'll have to see someone else. He's always booked out! Which just shows that he's a great doctor. Ok I'm rambling. I'm so nervous!!

Please give me a BFP (may be tomorrow I will test with a different stick). I have just been staying with the same brand so I could compare apples with apples. I might call the company and see what the number is (how sensitive they are) and then if it's more than 10 I should be able to get a darker line on the other test.

:pray::pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:

AJC.... goodness... we havent done cyber cakes for sooooo long.... Just want to give you a hug for being here when we did do them :hug: Ok then.... I ll go with cup cakes... chocolate mud cup cakes.... with that really soft drizzle frosting on top... \_/b with a cup of Decaf to go with them.


Joey...... Hun, just rock up to any doctor.... it doesnt matter which one. Your on the north side of Brisbane,,, I normally go to one at Newmarket above the coles there..... they can normally get me in straight away.... If I want to specifically see my Doctor for a reason I need monitored, then I need to make an appointment and wait...... At the end of the day, whether the Doctor told you to wait is irrelevant....your frame of mind and how you feel is the only thing of relevance..... any doctor can do a test for you and then refer you to a blood test.

Ruthie..... Unless my head is still hazy, I dont think I have spoken to you before... so Hi, and welcome and congrats on finding the new thread.

Kirstielove... totally agree..... after all the different tests I ve used and heard about, First response is the most accurate and quicker to pick it up.

Jen... I use ImageShack as well. The funny thing is, on another forum that I m on (Football one).... See I told you all I soooo missed out on a lot of "female genes" ... anyway... On this other site I put in images all the time... and all this time that I ve been on this one, I havent... I find it amuzing that I never thought of it before.... Thanks Ruthie.

AFM... Nothing today.... nothing to report... I m not at work for the next 2 days so I can relax. Its nearly 1pm and DH is still in bed asleep. He is worn out.... NOOOO not from :bd: ..... he always finds the energy for that :dance:

congrats joey!!! :D :hug:

definately go get a few BTs every 48hrs for a while for reasurance!! :)
:pray: all the results are good :)

Thank you girly.. yah I'm a noob and When the thread I met all you awesome ladies closed.. I didn't know my way around and it has been so long..sorry about that! yum your cyber cake made me drool all over my keyboard..LOL!!! I almost licked the screen....:cryinglaugh:
Pleased to meet you!!!

Here is a cyber cake for ya...... :)

Angelbabies & Ruthie - mmmmmmm YUM!!! Thanks for the awesome cybercakes :hug:

I'm pleased to meet you girlies. I look forward to a great friendship. My story is veeeerrrryyyy long.. LOL I have to go back look where it is in bellybelly and give you the link so you can read...LOL

Good luck to you all... even though I don;t know you girlies but at times I think you understand this whole TTC thing than people we have close to us. sad but true and in a way..refreshing. Do I make any sense?.. anyway what I mean is.. I'm glad to meet you!!!

hugs and :pink-babydust:

Here's the link to my story... I'm the 11th one down..LOL

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1314060

Yuuummmm - Ruthie - who needs lunch, And desert supplied by Angel

Just wanted to let you know I'm feeling a little better now, not great but better.

AJC - love the new name for our unwelcome visitor

Ruthie - love your splash of colour added to our thread.

Joey - just tell your doctor that this little miracle decided not to wait any longer to make you and DH his/her mummy and daddy. You would have waited but had no choice. Good luck with your bt when you decide to go. Now would be a good time wouldn't it?

Issy - enjoy your lazy day, they don't come up too often. I started walking again early last week, then we got a few days of very cold temps and haven't been since. I looked outside this morning, and there was a very thick fog, everything was wet right up to my front door, so I chickened out again. EXCUSES, EXCUSES. I must get back into it, my dog loves to go, and she really needs it.

tina--You really have to wait till Fri for BT's? How can you stand it--I can barely stand it! :lol: Wishing you lots of :goodluck2: and :stickyvibesgirl:


AJC--Thanks again for the pics! You are now proudly displayed in my favorites!


joey--:lol: You won't get in trouble with the Dr, it'll be too late for that! Definitely think you should use a different stick tomorrow, then get some BT's done just for confirmation. Still :crossfingers: for your darker lines and BFP!! :pray:


Angel B and Ruthie--Mmmmmmm, yummy! Non fat and guilt free, who could ask for more? Thanks girls! :hug: Angel, enjoy your 2 days off! Does that mean when I wake up in the morning you'll still be on here? I've missed your company in the mornings, so will check in and see if you're up and about.

Thank you Mollycat..and OMG I forgot to update you guys on how the 4th of July POAS went. it went bad.. I got a BFN and I cried almost 2 days straight....:(
But no signs of Af at all.. I'm suspecting the same thing that has happened to me 3 times already... I have many PG symptoms that look promising.. like my bbs are darker and full of veins.. (I remember seeing that on my last PG and my 1st) I checked my cervix and it's SKY high and I'm on CD55 today. I am getting morning sickness and b4 I go to bed the toothpaste makes me gag... hubby says he swears my belly is growing.... I feel bloated and I pee like a maniac... I first thought maybe I have a UTI but I bough one of em pharmacy test strips and it came back neg...so what else can make you pee like crazy other than PG??. It's just as usual..my hormones don't want to cooperate..related to PCOS??.. really dunno.
I called my doc and he wants it to be 6 weeks from conception ..so if I calculate things right.. I had my 1st ++ OPK on 6/9 the instructions say you Ovulate 24-38 hrs after the 2st ++ so leaving or taking 2 days... I should be about 5 weeks and a couple of days from that... so I am testing on Monday again. If nothing yet then I have to see a doc to see what's going on.. I read that many women don;t even know they are preggers until way later on cuz they get BFNs. Maybe maybe... I have slight cramping it could be PMS or PG.. so confusing. So I guess I still need your prayers.. I really don;t know how I haven't lost my sanity cuz I have almost 4 years at this thing..

I'm still hopeful....and just am waiting. I POAS today and I think I saw something faint but left it in the drawers when I went back to it it was gone..so maybe?..dunno. ..sucks to be guessing. sucks to Have PCOS!:(
but that won;t keep me from continuing to try ya know?.. I know I can do it and I won't rest until I have my baby..and many say not to stress about it?.. I have to stress..cuz I don't ovulate without docs help..so I have to stress if I don't..I won't ever have a baby.

So I'm just waiting and :pray: for my :bfp:

Sorry for being AWOL, ladies

TINA - A HUUUUUUUUGE CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BFP:clap:
:happyforyou:

Ok, well, I have been lurking a little, but as you know I have been down in the dumps about my very sad BT result last Friday. I just wanted to make it through the weekend for my OB appointment yesterday afternoon. We did still have a HB (now 142 bpm), but my OB says this PG has a 98% chance of MC because of the low and slow rising HCG and dropping estrogen level. I am doing everything I can to give this PG a chance, but I have to be realistic.

So now, it is a waiting game. A weekly US and BT until I inevitably go into hospital (again). Then after 2 periods I will go on the recurrent mc program with Sydney IVF. I have already had a whole gammit of tests done, so DH and I will probably continue to TTC anyway.

I am sort of coping OK, just trying to keep busy and be a good mum to DD. I will be dropping in here but may be off the radar a little in the next week or two as I don't know when it is all going to happen.

I am sorry to put up such a morbid post. Please no one compare yourself to me. I am older than a lot of you and everyone's body is different. In my case, I manage to conceive fairly quickly. My BT numbers are initially good and we get a HB. Then BAMM and it's over.

Thanks for your great support over the past few weeks - it has mean't so much to me.

WTH xx

WTH - im sorry to hear those results.... :( were here for u always :hug: :hug: b positive :hug:

WTH - :hug::hug::hug:

wth: so so sorry honey, but as you said, its not over yet. Please look after yourself, and remember, we are here for you.
thank you for the congratulations sweets, thats reaaly selfless of you to be able to congratulate me when you are feeling so down yourself...praying for you.....

WTH: I have no words. All I can say I am so sorry. I know it sounds ridiculous and you're probably sick of hearing it but try and stay strong and it WILL happen for you. I'm sending you lots and lots of :hug:

oh my god ladies! im in panic mode! im struggling to keep up with you all! i posted sunday arvo & now im back to find where im up to & i find im lost! flabbergasted...

WTH: my thoughts are with you always sweetie... :pray: for miracles...

im also at a lost as to what my chart is doing... havent been putting my temps on since sunday & then i put the past 2 on just now & all of a sudden im 4dpo! this is driving me mad! i thought i o'd just last night - cos also thought i had some o pains. but according to ff i o'd on friday night when opk was +.. is this right? im panicking that ive missed the egg now... ok anyways, thats all... :redface:

anyone else with bfps for me to :cheer::hooray:???

hey girls

just a quick one

issy- still can't believe you got a 28 day cycle too- how freaky is that. i was thinking when af came oh good, 28 days, but then i thought, oh no, me and issy aren't cycle buddies anymore. crazy hey.

angel- thanks hun, i just keep putting one foot in front of the other and saying your words over and over...one day at a time....

am having a sort of crappy week. my SIL had her bub last week and i never called to say congrats. just found it too hard. i picked up the phone and dialled her number about 50 times but couldn't find the right words without crying, because i was supposed to be having my baby too only a couple of weeks later. finally called yesterday but could tell i am in the bad books, my other SIL also mentioned it to me so everyone must be talking about what a bad person i am. wish they could understand that i wanted to call but couldn't.

anyway, on the plus side DH told me not to worry about them, he understands, and gave me lots of cuddles and kisses.

hope everyone else is well, thinking of you all and sending big :hug: for everyone.

Also, WTH, you're definitely not a lot older than most of us! just a few numbers is all! being young at heart is most important hey :)... but you are definitely more braver than most of us... (me definitely!) & your positivity puts me & my complaining to shame... would like to give you some more :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

WTH - I am so very sorry :hug: my thoughts are with you. I hope so very much that your ob is wrong.

Tina - Big congrats! :dance:

Joey - Good luck for testing tomorrow, hope that line gets darker!!

Sorry for the lack of persies, I will be back soon to do them :) but I hope everyone is doing well.

AFM - I'm going OK, 4DPO today and having heaps of cramps and a bit of back pain and feeling a bit like AF is just about to arrive, even though I'm not expecting her until the middle of next week. I'm pretty sure that it is probably just the progesterone pessaries that I am on during the TWW though. Oh how I wish the next 10 days would just disappear!

pbstar : big :hug: dh's understanding is all that matters! lucky you have such a wonderful hubby to stand by you!

JOEY: BIG CONGRATS! :excited::cheer::happyforyou::hooray: & a load of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Where There s Hope

There is nothing really I can say... not a lot comes to mind except for sadness... yes I can say I ve done the HCG walk.... hopefully that helps tiny bit...knowing that someone understands... but thats about all I can do..... One thing I will say.... I never gave up I still talked to them everyday, I still sat with my hands on my tummy talking to them, willing them on..... Dont give up hun.... pray and pray... a little miracle may just come your way.:pray:

Sandygirl - I agree wholheartedly that we should both be UTD by now! Actually, I think everyone in this whole thread should be :D I really really hate this first two weeks of the cycle. I feel like I can't do anything productive about making a baby. I wish I could ovulate the day after AF arrives! But I'm sure you and everyone else feels the same :hug:

Smilanatu - I'm getting out the wrapping paper and ribbons for your birthday pressie!!

Jen - Mmmmm brownie mix! That's the best kind of mix!
Soooo, I biatch-slapped AF today. I was trying to have a polite conversation with her about why she shouldn't come back next month, and that cow started talking back! So I slapped her one. She cried for a bit, but I'm sure deep down she knows it's all for the best. We never really got along that well anyway... :ROFL:
I sooooooooooo want to go to you g-ma's house! It sounds so cool! I've always wanted to go to a place that has hidden tunnels and secret passages!

Angel Babies - I can't watch horror movies either! I watched "Signs" at the cinema and made a fool of myself. I clung so tightly to my friends denim jacket that when we left the cinema his jacket sleeve wouldn't uncrease. Oh, and during one of the quiet scary scenes I accidentally made that noise that you make when you are really scared.. Ummm, I don't know how to write it, but it's kind of like "mmmnnnghhhhh" :ROFL: The whole cinema laughed at me. It was sooooo embarassing!!!
I actually watched it again recently on TV and during an ad break I went to see DH in the computer room and the stupid-head had placed a glass of water in the corridor to scare me! But then I guess you would only get that if you've seen the movie, which you probably haven't because it's scary hehehehe.

Toccara - Yay for AF leaving! Now you can start planning your bd'ing shananigans! I totally agree with the banning of AF. Between the ban and the curse I'm sure everyone will be AF-free and UTD within the next month!!!

Ruthie - Good to see you found us again! I hope that in a few more days you hit 6 weeks and get a stick that finally gives you 2 lines!

Mollycat - Is your diploma something you can stop now and finish later? If it is then maybe you can take some time off from doing it just to see if that helps in the TTC department. I know it's really hard to make sacrifices like that though, especially when you don't know exactly when you will fall pregnant. Sometimes I feel silly for cutting down my hours at work because I could be saving more money if I was working more. But I figure that I want to give my body it's best chance of being the best it can be to get pregnant, and I don't think it was when I was stressed with work.
Anyway, I rambled a bit, but I hope you find a perfect balance for yourself!
Ok, so now we have cursed AF, banned AF, and sent her to Mollycat's SIL and Jen's DH's ex wife! We are all soooooo going to be pregnant this time next month! She ain't got a chance!

Tina - I'm still totally stoked for you!!! When do you go back to Sydney? It better not be before I get to see you with a beautiful little bubba!!!
PS. I think it's a girl hehehe.

AJC - OMG OMG OMG! You're passed the magical 12 weeks! I wish I could pick you up and spin you around! LOL! :ROFL:

Issy - I had a bum day yesterday. In fact, I didn't get out of my jimjams allllll day! I only took them off to shower and get into new jimjams for bed! :ROFL: There's no cleaning that can't be done in your jammies!

WTH - It's not over yet honey, so don't lose hope. Your baby is obviously a strong little one with a beautiful heartbeat. Take comfort in knowing that you are doing everything possible for your little one, and that you are a wonderful mummy. I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope that your blood tests start giving you the results that you want :hug:

Tutmae - Oh my, your average temp is much lower than mine. I always feel cold (hate winter). DO you get cold easy? I guess it doesn't matter as long as your temp jumps after ovulation though! It's getting close to your fertile period so I hope you are getting ready :)

Van - How frustrating that you chart is confusing you! It's confusing me too. I had a peek at it and wish I had some magical insight... but sorry nope. Maybe just keep bd'ing until you are 100% sure that you've ovulated?

pbstar - Don't worry what anyone might think about you not calling your SIL. Only you can understand how her having a baby makes you feel. And you have to be true to yourself. Just remember that they love you too, and even if they don't understand right now, they will get over it. Your DH sounds like a real sweetheart :hug:

Megsmum - I hope the pessaries help you get your BFP this month!


AFM - I've tried to do a nice big post tonight because I'm not sure if I'll be on BB tomorrow. I can already feel myself getting really emotional because tomorrow I should have been 20 weeks pregnant. Even DH is feeling the strain and he's a bit down at the moment. I still sometimes pop into the belly buddies group I should have been in just to see what's happening with them and their babies, and to see what I should have been experiencing. It hurts to read about it and know what I don't have, but I feel like I just need to do it though. I can't really understand it myself. :crying:

I bought a set of really cute bibs while I was shopping on Sunday. They were browny/green and had giraffes on them. So adorable. So I had a chat with my future-baby and told her that while I know she really wants to have the bibs, she's only allowed to have them once she becomes conceived. I think we've come to an understanding, and judging by how cute the bibs are, I'm sure she'll be conceived this month so she can have them :)

WTH - :hug::hug::hug: I am so sorry to hear your news - I hope that you have lots of support around you in the real world too... :pray: that your little bub is a fighter and can prove the ob wrong

AFM - Am having a crazy hectic week at work and actually have to head off now to log on from home (yuck!). Like plc am an active lurker and have been keeping up with the reading. I think it's official though - this thread has to be the #1 most active thread in the history of ever! Waves and hellos and hugs to you all

Stay positive lovelies :pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:

KL: My temps are low. I hope tthat's not a problem. Took my hubby's temp in yesterday night and mine too and they were both around 37.08.... Hmmm.... Maybe I sleep with my mouth open or something. I don't know. Does anyone have any info about low temps?
And those bibs sound adorable! There's no doubt bubs will not be able to resist.
