TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

[issy02]

Hey pbstar,

I also usually ov on CD19, I have been known to even ov up to CD21. Very long. Oh well. So it looks like we will almost have the same cycle, ov and everything. Would love to announce our bfp's at the same time, ill be really hard. Yeah, bout the morning bding, I was told this info by FS last week, at least its something else to try anyway, sometimes it feels as if you have tried eveything, so to have something new gives a new sense of hope...even if it is something small.

Chat soon hun,
Issy

Jodson...I absolutely know how you feel!!! I tested again this am BFN...AF is due Wednesday andI can't distinguish AF symptoms from PG...I think I want BFP too bad. I'm beginning to feel down...I still have my hopes up for you and for me and for the other ladies enduring the dreaded TWW.

mmteacher--I also haven't been to new Rawhide location, but we went to the other one right before they were supposed to move. We had a really cool old-fashioned family portrait done there. And you're right about the Aussie gals being so accepting I'd be such a mess if it weren't for them--for all of you!

Issy--Have fun BD'ing!

Mel--So sorry about AF

tina--Hope the new job is going great!

Hi Jodsan,
I'm really sorry for the cr*p that you have been dealing with this month. I know how you feel, having a break from TTC is something that I think of often- DH is not keen. Sorry that your weekend was not a good one. Look after yourself, it sounds as though you deserve a bit of spoiling!

Jen,
I got to work today and looked up the progesterone thing. I used a website that you have to pay for, so I'd better not copy and paste directly into here. From what I understand, progesterone has been shown to improve outcomes of pregnancies for couples who have had recurrent miscarriages, when combined with HCG injections too. There is not much evidence for using progesterone alone, because the trails have not been done, but the general consensus is that it can help. The authors of the web page used progesterone as a pessary from 3 days after the LH surge (The LH surge usually occurs 7 days before AF arrives), i.e, before the BFP. I don't know whether other Dr's use it at other times in the cycle. I know that doesn't completely answer your question, but I hope it helps. GL. x

Pb Star, Issy and Tina- Our CD's are all very close, making us acycle buddies! I hope that we can will all announce our BFPs really soon. Good Luck and Baby dust to all.

hey issy

wow we ov on the same day too, that's pretty cool, nice to know we will be in the same boat together on the TWW again. i don't know if my cycle will be different this month though because of the chem preg, in any case i have started doing the BD now just in case, in fact we tried your morning theory this morning so fingeres crossed

hey canary- yay we are cycle buddys too! i really hope and that we all get some good news this month

Hey guys I've got a question... Well, ok, first of all, I POAS today & got BFN. AF supposedly due Thurs., so I thought maybe it wasn't too early to test. Guess I was wrong. It was only a Dollar Store test so it wasn't like a big waste or anything, but still disappointing. My question is: has anyone had their calendar change due to something you logged, such as CM or HPT? Because last week my calendar at fert. friend changed. Originally it showed fertile days were 6-8th with O on 9th. When I logged watery CM (sorry!) on the 16th it showed that I was fertile that day, the box became green. Today when I logged BFN all of a sudden my fertile days were 16-18th, but doesn't ever show when I O. I guess since I don't temp it can't really tell. Has that ever happened to anyone else? Now I don't even know when I O'ed or if AF will show on Thur., or even if it's just too early to tell yet. Feel pretty bummed about this.

Thanks, Canary, you're awesome! I'm sorry you had to pay to use the website! I appreciate you

Hi everyone else--hope you're all doing great. I'll post more later, I put together a lasagna using a home made spaghetti sauce and have to get it in the oven. I also have to make cupcakes for my DS's class since tomorrow's his actual b-day. Thanks for any info anyone has (hopefully ) about the charting!

Hi Everyone. I just wanted to spread some dust around here as I think you all need a bit of a pick me up

Jen - I have had Fertility Friend change my O days - in fact it was with my last (and successful) cycle. It had my O day as something like Day 11 which is very early for me, but I decided it was wrong so kept on BDing. It then changed my O day to exactly the day I thought it was - I believe it uses mainly temps to determine the shift - but the CM might also contribute. I don't think it would change it unless the temps reflected it as well. Thank goodness I followed my instincts and kept BDing!

I also thought I would add that I have been seeing a naturopath since one month post my loss. I have been on supplements and tonics (disgusting) now since the beginning of Jan. Whether they were a contributor to me falling preg or not, I certainly believe they are helping me even in that I feel I am doing useful things to a) fall pregnant and b) stay pregnant. My naturopath specialises in fertility and I really am glad that I started seeing her so early. She has also had me on Vitex which is meant to help regulate your cycles and help progesterone, so this might be an option for some. Anyway just thought I would add my experiences - and what I feel has helped.

Good luck to those in the TWW - I hope it goes quickly for you and we get some more BFPs in here shortly.

Hello everyone
Sorry i haven't posted for a week but i have been lurking and seeing what everyone is up too.
There are so many of us in here now that i cannot do personnals at the moment I will try to come back later.
AFM - Last week i have dizzy spells at work and was sent home as i nearly fainted in front of a customer. So unfortunately my boss now knows that i am pregnant and really isn't that impressed(too bad for her really). So i ended up at the doctors on Friday just to get things checked out as i was starting to freak as we were about to be 6 weeks and that is when we have m/c previous times. He seems to think that it is a viral infection but he did state that he had alarm bells as it could be ectopic. So i began to stess of course. But what has made me angry is that is hasn't sent me for BT let alone an ultrasound. You would think after what we have been through he would be very cautious so i really am not very impressed with my dr at the moment. I am feeling quite pg at the moment plenty of nauseous and actually vomiting also (which isn't pleasant). I am feeling that this baby is a sticky one and will be healthy i am just p*****d off that my dr wasn't more thorough. He doesn't want to see me until 8 weeks which is only 1 and a half weeks away, he said he will do ultrasound then to determine dates also as we think we are 6 weeks but showing symptoms of 8 -9 weeks. Keeping fingers crossed everything wil be fine sorry for the moan but i needed to get it off my chest

Sending everyone

HI everyone,
sending you lots of
hoping to see lots of BFP's in the next month.

Well I got my BT results back and they were 12700 for 5w2d, which is high I think, not sure what that can mean other than there might be more than one, but who knows, as long as it's sticky I don't care.

Good Luck to you all this month

..Laura
