TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

[ll80]

HI ladies

Thanks for all the well wishes, was only a mild stroke so physically he is not too much worse off than he was before. It's his dementia thats taken a beating but he seems to recall more everyday, worse but better at the same time, but that's how it goes with these sort of things.

Back at home now, got the results of my blood test last week, 147 HCG at 3w6d so that's not too bad, been feeling a bit nervous about it all lately, *****t!ing myself to be exact, I dont think I will feel any more at ease until I pass the 8week mark when baby stopped growing last time.

I'm really reluctant to move onto the pg after m/c threads, although I have posted a few times feels like I am jinxing myself if that makes any sense at all. Plus your all just so lovely and I want you all to be in there with me.

anyways....
Hiya to all new ladies, I hope your stay here is a short one and you get those BFP's.

AJC sorry bout af *fingers srossed* for next month.

pbstar *big Hugs* you're such a strong woman, *fingers crossed8 for you too.

plc, I guess if it's doctors orders you better keep those legs up and ready all week hehe I'm a bit cheeky!

tempus GL with the specialist, will all go well and you'll be UTD before you know it.

Big waves and hugs for Angel Babies and Nickster, hope you're both well and jiggy.

Hope you all have a good weekend

...Laura

mmteacher - I'm with u with clearing this thread - we can all do a massive invasion on the PAML thread!!! CHARGE!!!! woohoo!!! oh - wouldn't it be LOVERLY!!!

jen - thanks honey!!!! is ur poas day this friday or next? everything is crossed for u....

hello to everyone else - - hope ur remaining positive and strong!!!

well not sure i've o-ed yet but i'm sure it's around the corner - all my twinges are happening and i really feel like i'm back in the game - very good feeling!

[jen805]

plc--I love your thought about invading the PAML thread! Upon better inspection of my chart at FF, it's next Thurs. that I should test (or when AF is due). Not sure if I actually O'ed on the day that the calendar said I was supposed to, so I'm not sure if I should poas any sooner than that. Had been thinking that maybe on Sat. I might, but I just don't want to get too ahead of myself. Last time was so much easier--was like a week late before I realized I was a week late! I wish the week went by as quickly as the weekends! Glad to hear your feeling like your back in the game--game on!

ll80--Glad to hear about bt results! Also glad you want to stick around here for a while--I don't blame you. It's the same for me (when I get my BFP) I just want to get past that first 8 wks. then I think I'll calm down a bit--I'm already stressed about it and I'm not even there yet!

Emmy-Lou--Hope AF packs her bags quickly so you can get back in the game, as well!

mmteacher--Hope the clomid works it's wonders! Good luck!

Feeling very confused right now. Yesterday I noticed watery discharge (sorry, ladies, tmi!) and when I entered that on my chart at fertility friend, it popped up that yesterday was probably my most fertile day. Prior to that it said my fertile days were 6th-8th, with possible O on 9th. BD'd last on 14th, which I know doesn't take me out of the game completely as the spermies can supposedly live for 3-5 days, but all I feel right now is dread. DF was very sweet and said that for a girl your supposed to BD the 3 days before, so I hope he's right for a change! (Usually it kills me when he's right, but this time I truly hope he is!). Does anyone know if the spotting I had, which I hoped was from implantation, could actually have been from O'ing instead? Now I'm really not sure when I should test, or when to expect AF! This is so frustrating! I tend to like to be in control, so the fact that it's completely out of my hands is killing me! HELP!!!!!

[Jodsan]

Ok, so I POAS and there is kinda something. I used Crystal Clear which makes a cross, I have seen a lot of negatives over the past 6 mths, usually the negative line is dark all the way across, on this one, there is a hole in the middle of the negative line. I can JUST make out an outline of the positive line. It's like an invisible line is there, but DH and I agree there is definately something when we hold it up to the window. I am only 10dpo so hcg must be very low. Hopefully I will get a proper line over the next couple of days. I am taking it as a positive so I have to go off the medication I am (that's why I needed to test so early - Drs orders).

Jen - if you did O yesterday, you are definately in with a chance, pg 4-5 days out is definately possible. But your fertile window may still be open (up to 24 hrs after O) so BDing now might work too. Good luck.

Big hi to everyone else.

[jen805]

Jodsan--Woo hoo! Congrats on the test result! So will you wait a few days to test again, or will you just try again tomorrow? I'm so excited for you! Thanks for the glimmer of hope!

AFM... This may be tmi, but I'm going to ask anyhow b'cuz I've pretty much heard it all, so I'm sure you're all used to it: I usually have discharge when I'm pg, so is it possible that maybe that's what it could be from? I had thought the other day that the spotting was possibly from implantation, so if it were would it be too soon to have the discharge as an effect of pg? Feels like I'm grasping at straws here... hope I don't sound as pathetic as I feel!

OK we got a BFN today, but i don't believe it. My temp is still up (36.9). Everything my body is doing is telling me i'm PGT So , I need a vote.

Do i go and get a blood test without the HPT + result.?

Also Can the bloods be negative at DPO 13?

Your thoughts?

[Katiegirl]

Jodsan - that is exciting news. I used Crystal Clear - I used 3 brands - and it gave me the weakest positive out of them all and I was alreayd 4 or so days past AF. So maybe it requires FMU to get a really strong positive and a bit longer. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I have really lost track of everyone on this thread. Welcome to the new people - I hope your stay here is short. Very sorry for your losses, but at the very least you have come to the right place if you are looking for understanding and support. Good luck.

Bettyboop - I was so glad to hear that AF has arrived for you. You really deserve for good things to start happening now as your wait was so much longer.

EDIT - just saw Mel's post. I got a negative about 4 days past AF - admittedly I used very weak urine in the afternoon (I should have waited but the test was burning a hole in my pocket) and then the next morning i got a positive. So maybe wait a day or so to test again - when is AF due?

Have to get ready for work - so just a big hello to everyone else. Fingers crossed for some more bfps.

Have a great day.

[jen805]

Mel-- I heard you're supposed to wait until 5 days before AF, so I guess it would depend on when she's supposed to arrive. When's she due? You know your body better than anyone, so if you truly feel like you are, maybe you should go ahead and give it a go! Or just try to wait another day or two and try again. I with you no matter what you decide, and everything's crossed for you that you get your BFP!

[jen805]

I'm feeling like I'm neglecting some of you, so just wanted to say hi to everyone. JMG,nickster,Trac, Magda, Katiegirl, & tutmae--hope all you preggies and your sticky bubs are doing well! (Hope I didn't miss anyone that's pg! Wait, refresh my memory, did I forget Natty? Sorry, there's so many of us it's hard to keep track of everyone!) AJC, bettyboop, Mary M., tina k, mmteacher, plc, ll80, tempus, Canary, Mollycat, Chalalan, Anthonysmom, pbstar, seenabeena, maybebaby, Angel babies, Issy, Abbey, and Jenushka (I agree, nice name! ) I still think about you all and pray for you all. Hope you're all healing and being kind to yourselves. Emmy-Lou, Jodsan, Mel, treelo, and smilanatu--of course I didn't forget you guys, it's just that I recently sent you guys posts and I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget all the other wonderful women that belong to this thread! I'm so, so sorry if there's anyone else that I've failed to include! That's 31 of us now. We need to get busy ladies & get some more BFP's around here! Sending out gobs of sticky vibes and baby dust to all!

[Mel A]

AF is due today.

I got dizzy this morning, I'm feeling nauseas and tired.

Also just had a thought even if i can get into the doc's today i probably won't get any blood results till monday anyway. So it is possibly a moot point, as i'll have to wait till next week regardless.

[Mel A]

Wow! sorry everyone, I've been a bit selfindulgent and relatively internally focused.

Hello to all and and my thoughts are with you.

[Jodsan]

Mel - Yeah, a blood test would definately show up at 13dpo, it'll pick up any hcg in you system, apparently as soon as bubs implants it lets off 5miu straight away. Which test did you use? I would think you should get a BFP tomorrow morning at 14dpo. You have the same symptoms as me which suggests some hcg is in your system, I get really dizzy if I stand up too quickly! Do you feel warm and fuzzy too, my skins a bit itchy in the shower?

Katie - That's interesting about Crystal Clear being your weakest, which brand was your strongest? I did use first morning urine but I got up 3 times in the night to pee so it really wasn't that concentrated.

Jen - think I'm going to have to test again 2moro morning (and try not to pee 3 times throughout the night). I have 3 Crystal Clear tests left so I thought I'd test every day til Monday, then if it's getting darker I'll call the dr for a blood test. BTW - I've had creamy CM since about 2dpo, quite a bit over the past couple of days.

[jen805]

Mel--Your symptoms sound very promising!

Jodsan--Can't wait to hear the good news in the morning! I have a really good feeling about it....

[Mel A]

yep feeling very warm and fuzzy, plus there is this wierd colour change on me feet, It looks like they have a great tan (pity about the rest of me). My tummy and my breasts are also itchy.

How exciting it sounds like we are both heading in a very exciting direction. I'm crossing everything for you hoping that line will show itself this weekend. :goodluck2:

Must, must, must do work, and stop thinking and parusing BB.

[Jodsan]

Mel - It's just not fair, you just need to know so you can relax. Yep, just starting to get itchy breasts, my nipples are kinda stingy. My feet seem the same though, but I'm 3 days behind you. Did you use First Response for the test? I'm going to try to get one today to use tomorrow, everyone says they are the best. :goodluck2: for POAS tomorrow morning.
