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

[nicksterUK]

Just wanted to drop in and throw a few tonnes of babydust over you all.... xxx
Got everything crossed for some lovely BFP's this month

Acria (hello, we haven't met...sounds EXACTLY like impantation bleeding to me WOOHOO!) I really hope this is it- and you can set off a wonderful chain for the other ladies (it seems the BFP's here all bunch together...3-4 in one go, and then nothing for weeks. Very odd, but you go girl )

Hi to everyone else, I don't drop in so much atm cos work is crazy (exam season) and I'm exhausted in the evenings so usually crash out by 10pm). You are always in my thoughts, and I do go back through all the threads I've missed but not a chance of doing personals with so much going on and so many new faces. I wish you all the very best tho!

afm- well, i have my 20 week scan next week (yay) and heard the heartbeat again this week, good and strong. No more bleeding since the 11 week scare, and praying it stays that way. Belly is the size of a soccer ball, perfectly round and firm so I'm very happy with my cute, neat bump. Have felt bubs moving around too, but DH can't feel it yet.

Big hugs and stacks of babydust for you all.
ps I am not going tp PAML thread at all, just doesn't feel right. I'll just drop in here now and then for a catchup and a gossip xx (Acria, I'll defo be back to see how you go xx)

mollycat--Sorry to hear you're still in limbo with your goofy cycle. I guess that's the one good thing about AF showing for me--at least now I know what CD I am! you get some answers soon!


pbstar--Hey, hun, thanks for thinking of me! I never realized that it was common to get watery CM and for your cervix to open before AF-- but has never happened for me before that I've been aware of, so it threw me off. I'm still in shock, it was definitely unexpected, even though AF was due today. your TWW ends with a surprising BFP!


plc--Your words are always so eloquent, thanks for your constant support! I truly hope you're enjoying your pregnancy--it's going to be over before you know it!


Acria--Your symptoms still sound really promising! your spotting is due to implantation bleeding! I'm waiting in anticipation to see a BFP announcement from you--good luck POAS!


AJC--Always good to get more sticky vibes and baby dust--thanks for that! Hope your feeling good and enjoying rubbing that belly (even if you don't have one yet, I'm sure you're getting lots of belly rubs in!)


issy--I'm realizing now that I definitely need to buy a thermometer so I can start temping this cycle! Thought I'd give it a go without temping, but the inconsistency is making me crazy! I guess I can't really expect my chart to be accurate if I'm only going by CM, I just never knew it was common to get watery CM more than once during a cycle. It's just nasty AF playing tricks on my mind! My fingers are still crossed for you this cycle-- you'll be surprised with a BFP--they're always the best when they're unexpected!


bettyboop--Sorry your cycle's so goofy this month, as well! Fingers, legs, toes, and eyes are crossed for June!


SaraJane--:goodluck2: with the accupuncture, herbs, and O! Hope it helps regulate your cycle!


Jodsan--I was under the impression that the only time your cervix opened was when O! I think it was just AF's way of "sticking it to me" by giving me false hope I drowned my sorrows last night with a Mike's hard lemonade (was out of rum for daquiri's), and this morning am drowning myself in coffee. Back on the train for another bumpy ride... Hope things are well with you and you're enjoying your weekend!


nickster--Thanks for checking on us! It's always good to hear from you! Good luck next week on your 20 wk scan--my gosh, I can't believe you're 20 weeks already! Hope you're enjoying your I wish I could rub your tummy for good luck--I could sure use it!


Hi's and hugs for everyone else! Thinking of you all always! In fact, it's pretty bad--we're going camping for 5 days in June and I've got to try to get a card for my DSD's laptop so I can log online so I don't miss you girls! I honestly can't imagine 5 days away from BB and away from all your support! Thanks to all of you for getting me through!

Ok, just placed an order for preseed and a thermometer! It's time to get serious here... no more uncertainty! Now, hopefully the thermometer gets here before AF leaves so I can start temping! You are supposed to wait till after to begin temping, right?





MistyFying--was wondering if it's ok to add my chart to my signature? Or can I not have both my chart and a ticker, and all the text? Thanks, just don't want to get an infraction!

[jen805]

Hey Jodsan, I had another question about the Jonas method. I checked to see my fertile day for June, my chart is predicting O on the 16th. Jonas calendar shows the 16th, but says fertile 24 hours before date shown (which would make my fertile day right on my predicted O day!). But here's my question: under the lunarium calendar the only date that shows my moon sign is June 6th--what's the difference between the lunarium calendar and the Jonas calendar? Does that mean I could possibly conceive on the 6th and the 15th? Thanks, I'm sorry to always burden you with so many questions--I appreciate your opinion very much!

Acria- I'm hanging out to see what's happening with you, hopefully no sign of AF!
nickster- don't think we've met!
jen- sorry about stupid AF. I just temp the whole time in my cycle but it will be fine to start when ur thermometer comes. It sounds like you're feeling positive this cycle and I reckon you should be, when your lunar and normal fertile days line up you're super likely to get preg, there's some threads on here about lunar fertility somewhere, check them out.

afm- hmm....my temp has gone way up today, yay!! Go acupuncture. Yesterday he was trying to warm my body up and get my temp higher, looks like it worked!!

[Acria]

Bad news I think girls. Depite all my and Dh's best efforts, and all your super positive vibes (thanks btw ), it looks like AF is here I woke up this morning with stronger cramps and when I went to the toilet, there's quite a bit of blood, bright red and thick with some mucous. So I've put a pad on and have to work from 10am and 3pm. I'll take a book and have a good read to myself, because the business will be quiet.

My head is saying 'Okay, your period is here, get prepared for the next cycle and the next try!', but my heart is saying 'Don't give up just yet..you never know..the cramps aren't that bad now..etc etc'. If I'm not pg then why did my body give me all those symptoms, and if I am, why is it bleeding? Gahh! I feel like I can't trust my body anymore..she and I are on different wavelengths or something.

Acria - my body did the same thing to me in Feb this year. I had tender bb's and that metallic taste in my mouth. I was soooo positive I was going to be a BFP so I felt really really confused when I didn't. I'm so sorry about af, please try to stay positive though.

nickster - GL for your mid term scan. Wow, I can't believe how far along you are now. Keep in touch.

jen - sounds like it's time to get serious. Dh and I struggled to 'time it right' after the first m/c but we fell pg second month temping. Am sure your BFP is just around the corner too.

Sarahjane - GL with the acupuncture!

mollycat - hope your cycle sorts itself out soon. It's hard enough without body playing tricks on you.

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

afm - doing ok. Feel so much better since appointment last week and I think I even had a little m/s yesterday . I woke up and felt sick at about 6am then went back to bed until 7.30 alarm. Woke up felt better but was just hungry all day - felt like my stomach was empty but I ate like a horse! And the hungrier I got the weirder I felt. Sort of like how the clomid made me feel. Less than two weeks until next scan. Will keep you all updated. Just taking it easy as per ob's request.
