Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 2010

Just popping in quickly - trying to catch up on everything after my week away. Had an awesome time and especially the ball. Ball went really well- great numbers and lots of money raised. Hope you're right Bons and next yr I might have a new-born - that would be awesome.

Waiting to hear like lots of us for any BFP's in here! GL ladies, :crossfingers:
For those already pg ~ so pleased things are going so well. FX it all continues smoothly.
All the best to everyone else and hoping you are all well. Sending out lots of Babydust and stickyvibes. xoxo

Just quickly ladies..
So i'm 4-5 DPO and already over-analyzing every symptom!! What does lots of wet CM mean?? (Sorry TMI!!)
Thanks!

Loops12- So happy to hear you had such a wonderful time away and congrats on raising the money, well done. It's always good to get away and let your hair down and have a bit of fun.
Stoked- To my knowledge but don't quote me as I could be wrong but I think CM after O is an early PG sign I think but like I said don't quote me on that. I have my FX for you though.

Bring on the BFPS!
I think there will be a few coming up

No i havent tested yet dont have any preg tests in the house
I think AF might be coming one minute then i change my mind

Lots of trips to the loo today waiting to see what happens

Temp still super high for me im normally around 35.7 and was 37.2 this morning :D

horrible weather in brissie today too so me and DD are looking for things to do
cant do washing oh well what a shame lol

Kell, your temps indicate preg.....what are you waiting for.....test!!!

Kellbell - what r u waitting for? Test test test! If u don't have any hpt around good excuse to take DD to the shopping centre to get some n get out of the rain!

Oh I am so excited for u all!

AFM - rain horribly in Melb today. Will stay at home to do some practice run for my friend's wedding deco n flowers. I guess that will take my mind off until I test again on Thursday. My body is confusing me!

im soooooooooooooooo tempted girls!

but i dont want to see that single line

might get one tommorow while were out and about

Yeah go on Kell we are all impatiently awaiting your BFP, your temps are looking like a BFP to me darl........

Thanks lovely ladies!

Kellbell ~ :crossfingers: for you hun, GL.

Hi all,

still lurking occasionally.

Clairesmummy: everyone's probably different but I find that the egg white CM starts a few days before 'O' so you may not have O yet? Also, i read somewhere that the hormones the OPKs test for are more detectable in the afternoon (better NOT to use FMU). Testing between 2- 8pm was the best time I read (and then testing each day about the same time). Not sure if that helps? Congrats on the prize at the horse show!

Kellbell: ok now i'm also desperately keen to see how you go with a pg test!

Forshelby: WHat did i miss? I didn't realise you were going into full time incubation! THat's fantastic. What will you do with yourself?

Hi everyone else, sticky vibes! (FOrgive me for not doing full list of persies. i'm too behind. But wanted to say hi and hugs to all).

AFM: Boring boring... still bleeding! Still having weekly blood tests. My HCG is dropping ridiculously slowly. But OB and oncologist think it will go back to zero soon without the heavy duty drugs. Phew! Interestingly, something showed up on one of my blood tests: i have a gene for a blood clotting disorder. OB thinks this may explain the mc's. Next time i'm pg i'll be on aspirin, progesterone and daily injections of clexane (blood thinner). But i think i'll be having a break from TTC for a couple of months... even if i do eventually stop bleeding grrrr!

How funny i have stalkers hehe :p

Possum glad your hcg is coming down for you. when your ready next time sounds like youll have a great chance!

Whether i am or not up the duff im glad ive got all you girls in here - you are all great :D

Possum- thanks for the info I will keep up with the bding for the next few days then, I did not know that. All you ladies in here are just a wealth of knowledge I love it. Thank you again.
Kell- I'm happy to be classed as a stalker in a good way...lol.....definately keeping an eye on your progress darl...still sending you lots of sticky vibes.

Possum- hope HCG goes down quickly!! And some rest.... :hug:

Possum - good to see your name pop up. Sorry about your bleeding but the clotting disorder might also contribute? Awesome news about not needing the heavy duty drugs. I am so happy for you.

Is it Factor V Leiden? At one point it was thought I might have a clotting disorder and the same treatment regime was suggested..... some women also take heparin instead of clexane. Sorry if this is TMI but you're going to bruise at the site of the ibjections most likely.

How are you travelling?

Loops - hope you've got that tractor sale money in investment account so that you have lots left over after this next ivf cycle..... it's getting much closer now - how are you feeling? Glad your week away went well! It's so good to almost feel the positivity leaping off the page at me in your post.

Stoked -can't really help out with your question....

Stoked. I'm 3DPO and have stacks of whitish/yellowish CM which is creamy to EWCM tho not really stretchy but there is stacks of it. I'm really surprised at it too. One of the girls on other forum says progesterone surge after O can make extra CM. I'm not sure other than that!!

Clairesmummy - Oh yes, I do enjoy imagining all the amusing things I could do to that woman.. lol. Hoping you catch the eggy this month!! I'm lmao at your washing comment.. I remember what it was like being at the mercy of the weather. I caved in and bought a clothesdryer. Just makes life so much easier when it's raining like this. (it's raining here too, BIGTIME.)

Stoked - Do you have an idea what cd you're on today?? Cramps could be good.... depends on where you're at. :) And wet cm is usually a good sign. I used to say 'it's a desert down there' after O time. Not in my lucky cycle though! FX!!!!

Kellie - Ooh, high temp, excellent. I think you're the next BFPer in here!

AJello - Underwire can be a pain in the boobage, that's for sure! LOL.. I hope you get your BFP, and please try not to get too far ahead of yourself. Worrying about what might happen does no good, just stresses you out. If it is another mc, you can't control that, and worrying doesn't give you any control over the situation whatsoever. I know, easier said than done, but just try to relax and take it one day at a time. I hope that didn't come off as condescending. FX this is your lucky cycle hun!

Loops - Hi hun, so glad to hear you had a ball at the... er, ball. :redface: hehe.... Hoping a 2011 baby is on the way for you soon!!

Possum - Good to hear from you, love! Yes, I am going into full time incubation. Not sure what I'll do with all the time just yet, but I'm sure I'll keep busy getting crafty and just being a good housewife minus the diamond ring. LOL.. No diamonds here to weigh me down, girls! :) A good friend at work has already asked me if I'll mind her kids during work hours on the school holidays, and says she'll pay me for it, too. Bonus! I would have done it for free, but she's so kind, and generous, she wouldn't take 'no payment' for an answer. LOL. Gotta love her. :) I really hope your mc is over soon. This must be so hard for you, your strength is just amazing and so inspiring to us all. Take as long as you need to get back on the ttc rollercoaster. :grouphug: We'll get through it together. And excellent that you might have an answer as to why you mc'd. At least now you have a plan of attack for next time around. Best of luck!

Reet - How are things in Reet-town?! You're very quiet, missy. I hope all is well and you are UTD this cycle as I predicted.

AFM, Feeling kind of crampy today, not sure what that is all about. It reminds me of O pain, but keeps shifting around and is just low and to the sides near my hips. And slight backache. It comes and goes. BBS are only sore on and off, nipples are not as sensitive as they have been.... I don't know what it all means. Hopefully nothing, maybe things are just settling down and my body is getting used to all the homones? In other news, I saw a ****roach run across the kitchen when I was trying to prepare dinner tonight, and had to run to the bathroom for a quick up-chuck. DP thought it was very amusing. Then I told him how just looking at the can of bug-spray had me dry retching this morning, because of the images it conjured up. (Just KNOWING there must have been a ****roach at some stage was almost too much) LOL.... awful! He said I sounded like I was going to die, and I don't think I looked much better, either. On the up side, I did feel much better afterwards, so that's a plus! Sorry for the TMI... it's disgusting, I know. All part of the joys of motherhood, I suppose. I just hope this crampiness is ligaments stretching. It's not painful and there's no sign of blood or anything worrying. The next 3 weeks are going to drag by until I get to see bubby at my 12wk scan. FX all is still ok, as it's always in the back of my mind as my symptoms ease (then come back again, then ease again) that something is wrong. They definitely seem to be slowly diminishing, though. I have to just push those thoughts out of my mind right now and remember that every pg day is a great day.

Good luck to everyone in their TWW :)

Hello everyone! Sorry i have been reading just not posting.. been a bit slack! Ill make up for it now!

Possum- Oh ur still bleeding! u poor thing :( so glad that the drs think ur hcg will go down by itself.. thats a bonus. Take care xx

Stoked- I have no idea about cm!! mine confuses me all the time! :)

Kellbell- Im going to be completely the opposite to everyone and say dont test!! I still reckon wait it out.. atleast for a few more days! Once u get thru tomoro imagine how excited u will feel! But with saying all that if u do test tomoro Good Luck! and be sure to tell us straight away! xx

Clairesmummy- Hope u caught that eggy!..actually i hope u have layed that eggy! :)

Ajello- Good luck playing the waiting game.. i have been there way too often.. it does ur head in hey! Give it a few days.. like the others said u cld have Oed late.. or ur hormone levels might be out of whack.. or ur little bubba might just be taking its time making an appearance! :)

Forshelby- Ur ****roach story! haha that is so WEIRD!!! i cant even imagine throwing up cos of a ****roach! do u normally hate them?? wow the things i have to look forward to once im pg!! :) i cant believe ur 9 weeks!! Thats so excellent! time has flown! maybe not for u but it just reminds me of how bloody long i have been here for! U will be having ur baby and ill still be in here! ha! now now thats not positive thinking is it ;) hope ur aches and pains settle down soon.. it will be nothing.. just ur bubba growing! xx

Mum22- So do u think u caught the eggy?? Or did u give it ur best shot?? :)

Loops- Glad ur weekend went well! I hope to see lots of bfps in here soon too. Lets be one of them!

Bons- Have i missed ur update??! Has af showed up yet?? I really hope not!!

Hello Dory.. u are so so so close! Yipee!

Hi to everyone else too! I cant go back any further on this page so cant remember much else! is loss of memory a pg symptom??! haha wishing.

Well ive just been living my life trying not to think about anything. I dont think Im pg.. not feeling any different. Im pretty sure i only O'ed 8 days ago so i guess not much wld be happening if i was pg anyway! im just not feeling too positive tho..as usual! I think im cd 25 today so im not due for af for probably another 7 days so ill just keep on playing the waiting game. Im having one of those moments where im so over it all.. im feeling like if im not pg this cycle the next one will just be the same sh*it different month and so on and on and on and on..! All good tho.. just one of those moods :)

Nite nite everyone xxx

Hi Reet: i agree, can't believe Forshelby is 9wks already. I reckon 'pg time' is totally different to 'TTC time'. What i mean is, when you are the pg one, every week until 12wks drags so slowly as you wait to see if baby is ok. When you are NOT pg, you look at the pg people and think "where did the time go? How come their pg is going so fast and mine went so slowly? And how come now i'm NOT pg, time is going quickly for me too and suddenly it's been weeks since my pg finished! I can't believe I should have been over 13wks already : ( It's also 11mths since my last mc.

Dory: Thanks for that info. I don't know much about the clexane yet or the alternatives to it (like heparin). I'll have a good talk to my OB about options, risks etc of treatment before i start TTC again. Right now i'm just focusing on finishing this mc. 7wks on...and still bleeding. I agree though, i can't help but think the blood clotting problem may be a reason my mc's have been so drawn out. Ummm, don't think it's Factor V Leiden. My OB said something about thrombophilia? (He rang me with my results so i haven't had a proper consult yet and am a bit hazy on the diagnosis at this stage. I'm sure he'll tell me more when i see him next). Yup, sure i'll be a pretty purple pin cushion next time! Did you decide to have blood thinning injections in the end?

So excited to see how close you are to 40 wks. Keep up the good work (and Go Team Dory, including the furbabies!)

Thanks Ajello and welcome to the thread. Hi to everyone else i've somehow missed in my two posts today! Loops, stoked, mum22, Hi! (Think i've done persies for most others?)
