TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

[mmteacher]

Alright...here's for a try at a few persies...

Chalalan, Jenushka, Issy, and Abbey~ Welcome and I hope you find the support that you need here-I know that I have! I am sad to see that the number of us keeps on growing but it does help to know that we are not alone and there are people out there who truly understand what we are going through!

BettyBoop~ Sorry to hear about FIL. On a brighter note, I am glad AF has come and you can start trying for a BFP again-When each door closes-a new one opens?

Maybe baby~ I totally agree with you-next time I am keeping quiet too! That's why I have you girls so I can at least tell you! My Mom said if I get a BFP again, I should at least tell her, but we aren't telling anyone until we are good and ready! Of course it has to happen first!

Jen~ Thanks for feeling my pain...It is good to know that people feel the same way I do. I am feeling much better today! I hope that I can keep a positive attitude and find things to focus on this month...It is the end of the school year so hopefully that will help! Hope your TWW flies by and that you can let go a little! Try to stay positive! BTW, I am supposed to take progesterone for 7 days right after I O and of course after I have taken the Clomid so I think it is to help with implantation if I do get pg because Clomid can thin the uterine lining! Hope that helps!

AJC~ Sorry about your thoughts of AF-at only 11dpo, maybe it is implantation dip though-it is not over until she shows her ugly face! I'll keep hoping for you!

Tempus~ Glad you liked the poem and thanks so much for the hug! Sending one back at you! I have the clomid and the progesterone also-sounds like I am on a similar plan to you-Hope it works for us both!

PLC~ So glad you are TTC again-I hope you get a quick BFP! Your DH sounds like a comedian like mine!

To everyone else...There are just too many of us!!! Let's get some BFP's and clear this place out!!!

Clomid starts tomorrow...Bring on the hyperactivity and hot flashes! Talk to you soon!

hello lovely ladies

too hard to catch up with everyone!

firstly mmteacher thanks for the poem, it is very appropriate. i have my own little one i am saying to myself at the moment, it comes from a Michael Leunig cartoon

How to get there

Go to the end of the path until you get to the gate
Go through the gate and head straight out towards the horizon
Keep going towards the horizon
Sit down and have a rest every now and again
But keep on going. Just keep on with it.
Keep on going as far as you can.
That?s how you get there.

jen i am so confused about the progesterone thing too. i think maybe i have an issue but i too am not sure if i am supposed to do something about it now or when i get a BFP...for those who have taken vitamin B6 do you need to have a doctor confirm you have a progesterone issue first or can you just start taking it if you suspect you do?

tempus: good to hear from you, i noticed you dropped out a bit after AF came and totally understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. i know it can be hard to keep going but try not to lose faith, it will happen for you, hang in there.

jenushka- welcome i too have been through a missed miscarriage that was picked up at my 10 week scan and understand how hard it is to lose your baby without any warning. i hope your TTC journey is short and stress free. i am sure you will find the support here you need.

plc1805, betty, abbey, issy, canary, AJC, smilanatu, jodsan ( and everyone else i have missed) a big hello and big

[AJC]

well af is here. Not full on but here. Progesterone issue is certainly confusing, I would like to try a B6 supplement or Vitex this cycle. Will wait and ask ob about it on Monday as there is already 50mg of B6 in the blackmores conceive well that I am already taking.
10 day LP is just plain depressing.

mmteacher - GL with clomid tomorrow. Looks like I'll be back on the clomid again in the next few days. Hope you don't get any bad side effects (apart from a BFP).

plc - glad you got the green light. Happy bd, at least you don't have to wait very long to O. :goodluck2:

[jenushka]

Hi everyone - thanks for the welcome... to all...

smilinatu, jen (great name!), tempus, pbstar - your warm wishes and welcomes are very much appreciated. Good luck for this month, i have my fingers crossed for you

maybe baby - I am so sorry to hear your story, which I can see from your sig happened only a very short time ago. Be kind to yourself and I hope that it continues to get that tiny bit easier for you each day. Surreal is the word for it. I am certain that if I find myself preg again after this, that I will have my eyes shut for every scan until the sonographer gives me the all clear.

AJC - sorry to hear about AF, hope your ob appt sheds a bit more light. I'm interested to hear what he has to say about the vitex/b6

mmteacher - thanks for the welcome also and speaking of AF... this AF (my first after m/c too) is definitely more full on than normal. Cramping and a lot heavier. Has settled down this afternoon for me though - hope you are ok? GL with clomid...

plc - great news about the green light from your ob! and lol at hubby and "doctors orders!".

to anyone else I may have missed - hello and here's more

AFM - found out today that 2 very close friends are preg (1 due a few weeks before my d date, 1 in dec). I am really very happy for them but 2 in one day made me a bit wobbly. Have decided I'm not saying "I should" anymore (as in "I should be 14 weeks now" etc). Sick of it
Work is keeping me v busy which is good for keeping the mind on something other than ttc! Wish I had a remote control though to fast fwd to o - just looked at my ticker and cant believe I'm only CD3 - aaarrgh!! lol

[smilanatu]

Jodsan...*wavin* how are you?

Jen...it is a new ticker! Glad you like it...green is my favorite color!

jenushka...you are so very welcome...thanks for the thoughts!

mmteacher...goodluck w/the Clomid...stay positive

plc1805...I am about to drive myself nuts with what is a sign/symptom and what is not...LOL

bettyboop...goodluck TTC and congrats on AF finally showing!

AND



TO ALL TTC!!!

[Emmy-Lou]

Hey..still reading all your posts...

Jen and Tempus..thanks for the hugs, am actually feeling great for having AF so hopefully all is getting back to normal and that this is the month to conceive.

AJC..know how you feel about AF arriving, our cycles will be pretty close this month so here's to BFP's for us and everyone else in here.

To all you ladies who have BFP's heres some more for you all.

Jenushka..know what you mean about remote control..if only it was that easy.

Mel A..fingers crossed for tomorrow!!!! Hope you get your BFP!!!!

AFM...DH is happy to BD as much as we have to this month...so time will tell.

[maybe baby]

Gmmteacher - good luck with clomid

Jen805 - I have also heard that. It can get so confusing. I'm planning to raise this with my Dr linking it with the short LP and use of VitB6 last time round. I have also printed off my FF cycles to take as well. AND will ask about aspirin and raspberry leaf tea which I know you DON'T take when PG.

Tempus - Good luck with FS - do you like yours?

Good luck PLC - must admit I am going to get very impatient waiting for AF so can start again. At least I feel I am doing something positive

Hello to one and all
