Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ June 08

[Toccara50]

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ...

Jen - Yes I caved this morning and got another BFP - again it was light, but darker than the one I did 2 days ago, so im happy with that, but still not overly confident. Im hoping everything is ok, but I cant say im pg yet, just in case.

Thankyou so much everyone for your thoughts and prayers - I hope they work!

to all,

Issy

Hello lovely ladies! You have really given me a big boost with all of your congratulations and support - thanks to you all...

Ok, gonna try and get through some persies now (am very behind)...

AJC - thank you for your thoughts... congrats on your wonderful scan - pretty much couldn't have gone any better! Love the ticker also...

Krystielove - Thank you for your words of encouragement! I was excited but just wanted any ladies who were feeling low to know I was thinking of them. Big for your ambiguous hcg results. Do you think you'll still wait until end of this cycle to get them tested again? Nothing about this journey is easy, is it? Just sucks sometimes...

plc - thank you! Glad to hear the throat is on the mend. Also just noticed your ticker - almost 10 weeks already! I'm sure it hasn't felt so to you, but seems like it's gone really quickly...

sandygirl - big hugs - so sorry to hear of your loss - you will find all the support in the world here

jen - thank you!! Glad to hear you and dh liked the pre-seed. My temps were pretty erratic until after o - how's charting going otherwise for you? Also ... I totally second what angel babies said, couldn't have said it better myself. Your o signs sound promising ... fingers crossed. Also - can't wait to come camping with you next weekend - cool! (lol)

WTH - thanks! we did a few things differently this cycle - dh took zinc and vit c, we used pre seed (3 pack), and bd'd every day from cd 14 - cd 19, incl the day of and the day after my +opk. Running out of stamina a bit in the end tho! Could have been all or none of those things I spose... Gl for catching your eggie!

issy - I've quietly congratulated you in the 2ww thread... Good news about the 2nd bfp, I hope you're keeping ok. Have you decided if you'll get a bt?

jodsan - thanks for the congrats - I am that your very faint line turns into a nice strong bfp very soon. Good luck for getting the bt results tomorrow - let us know how you go.

Megsmum - thank you for your kind thoughts. Glad to hear the clomid was very kind to you this time. Yay for the mature follicle!! Happy !!

katiegirl -thank you for popping in and sending your thoughts to us all. gl with the morphology scan, we'd love to hear how you get on. Have you decided if you'll find out bub's gender?

vanaithi - Welcome back! Glad to hear that o was just later than u thought. HAve fun in Tassie...

bettyboop - hope your appt went well

Acria, mollycat, tina and smilinatu - thank you for your kind wishes...

To anyone else out there I may have missed - big hugs and positive vibes!!

AFM - Firstly, am so so so so so so so glad I decided to change my flights to Sydney until after my fertile window. Glad I was so dedicated!
I had my gp appt today and she is just so great. I'd brought in my 7th and most recent hpt (yes, thats right, I did 7) to show her! She is great because firstly she asked me about the kind of early preg care I wanted - I could have as much or as little as I needed. Decided I'd like some referrals for follow up hcg bt in case I felt I needed (she gave me 3), I also told her I'd like an early pg scan referral too - done. She marked today's bt as urgent because I am a headcase - my beta hcg results came back this evening... at about 14dpo they're 212 which I am happy with. This doctor is also great because when I saw her 2 weeks after my m/c, she told me about hers (between bub 2 and 3) . She also told me that she felt there was an angel somewhere holding her baby, and somewhere was an angel holding mine (I know! I'm almost teary typing that)...
Anyway, am scared stiff and a bit surprised still... probably will be for a while anyway

Great big giant for everyone - too

Ok, I'm going to make my third attempt at this post. It took 45 minutes for me to type the first post last night, then I lost it! So I retyped it, and lost it again! I finally went to bed because I wasn't going to lose another one. I'm going to give it a shot again... third times a charm, right?


mollycat--Thanks for checking out my chart! It seems silly that it would make me so happy, but it really does! Sorry about your temp drop-- praying that AF gets lost along the way!


plc--Just realized from your sig that you've made it past an important milestone--congratulations! Hope you're enjoying those belly rubs!


Oh, issy, I just gotta do it: Congrats on both BFP's! I'll celebrate for you until you're ready and able! When will you be getting a BT done? Oooh, and mollycat's right--I forgot about your horoscope! See, it's destined to be because it's written in the stars!


Katiegirl--Of course I would keep you on the list! This is the thread where I first met you, so that makes you family! And the only reason I ever felt comfortable enough to post in the other thread was because I knew you from this thread!. Good luck on Tue. with your 19 wk scan--you're getting closer to that 20 week milestone! Continuing to all goes well, and look forward to hearing all about that tiny I think I read from the other thread that you believe it's a boy, right? Do you have any names floating around yet?


Jodsan-- So sorry about your BFN! Good luck with your appointment and BT's today, hope you get some much needed answers! Ooh, and so sorry about your UTI--they're excruciating. Can't believe you have to deal with that on top of everything else right now! Big


tina--Sorry about the temp drop and the BFN Please promise you won't give up yet! Praying for you, hun, and hoping you feel better!


pbstar--Sorry about the long cycle, not really sure about your B6 question. I, too, started taking B6, but I O'ed earlier than usual this cycle. I also had every symptom of O in the book, where as last month I had no signs of O at all! I don't know if that has anything to do with the B6 or not. I pray that you decide to stick around, but if a break is what you need, then I support it. Please look in on us now and again, and keep us informed with what's going on with you! Take care of yourself, hun!


Vanaithi--Congrats on the late O! See why you should never give up hope!! Fingers crossed you caught that egg! I wondered how long you would last away from BB--I'm grateful it wasn't a long break! Have fun in Tassi, and look forward to catching up with you on Sunday!


Toccara--It seems out of place saying this, but congrats on AF! lol... Hope the scan and BT's went well, looks like you finally get to move forward! Good luck with the charting, I enjoy it--and while at times it still causes me some confusion, it's definitely more helpful than not! Hope this cycle brings you closer to that BFP!


jenushka--So glad your appt went well, and that you have such a hands-on doctor that's so understanding of what you're going through. I think it's definitely beneficial that she has some experience with the heartbreak of m/c (not that I'm glad she m/c, but that it helps her to relate to what you're going through with your anxieties, YNWIM?) Wow, 7 hpt's? lol...I don't blame you, I'm sure I'll be the same way! Thanks for asking about my charting--seems to be going ok, but I still didn't get my coverline after this am's temp! I'm anxious to see those red lines--why does it seem like we're always looking for red lines? Congrats again on your BFP--I'm so very happy for you!!!


AFM... Felt really down and emotional all day yesterday, and was complaining to DF about not BD'ing for 2 days in a row during my fertile period, and how I thought we must have missed our chance. He tells me no, no, we BD on Monday, plus we used preseed, so it was perfect. So then it got me thinking about this site I went to the other day. So I went back to the site, and entered my last LMP, and length of cycle, then it gives you the option of clicking on boy or girl. So, of course, I click on girl, and you won't believe this.... It showed that we should BD on Mon,, but for Tue.-Fri. it says NO BD'ing if there's fertile CM--which obviously I've had an abundant supply of this month! Soooo, it looks like DF was right and we BD'ed on just the right day as far as trying to conceive a girl! :woot: I know it limits my chances of conceiving, but gives me a better chance of conceiving a girl, so I'm good with that! Also, we BD'ed on the Fri. and Sat. before that, so potentially there should have been lots of little female spermies kickin' around in there waiting for that egg! Oh, for once I actually hope he's right! lol... How sweet was it, though, that he knew where I was in my cycle, and what I needed to hear to make me feel better! And all those times I thought he wasn't paying attention! It also appears that my cervix has dropped--don't know if it's medium or low, because I've only ever felt it when it was high and soft, but it's definitely lower than it was, so good sign that I probably did O already. I just want to see that coverline so I know for sure!! Grrr!


Ok, gonna try to send this post again... if I lose it, I'm gonna LOSE it! Here goes...

[jen805]

SWEET! It went through!


smilanatu--Sending you lots of anti-flo vibes!!! Praying she stays far, far away!



Due to the high frequency of women who are feeling down and out this month, I was wondering if we could try some sort of mini-thread inside this one. Something that could maybe put smiles back on some of those faces! Can we do something like this:

You know you're addicted to BB when:

1. You sign a 2-year contract and pay $60 more per month just to have wireless internet service for a 5 day camping trip! lol...

2. Your significant other walks in on you checking the position of your cervix, and actually gets turned on from it!

3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate!



Just a couple to start out with, but I thought we could all add our own addictions and maybe get a good laugh out of it! I'm hoping it's ok with the mods to do this??? Sorry, if not! Would like to see where we can go with this...



One question: Now it seems like my cervix is high and soft again. I know that CP changes throughout the day, but is it possible to be med/low at night, then be high again the next day? I'm so confused!

[jen805]

WTH--Don't know if you're still wondering about the follicles in ovaries, but just read that a single follicle matures on only 1 side of the ovaries. Just thought I'd let you know, since I know you were asking about it in a previous post. Hope that helps, take care!
