TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ February 08 #2

[Magda]

Hi Ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well today. I just wanted to quickly ask a question, I have to go get showered and dressed.

Brockstar: CONGRATULATIONS! So happy for you. And you know what who cares what people think, people are not going through what you are. You know I am going to go through that with my family but I don't care want they think.

Anyways, last night I went on FF and imputed my temps for the last week. This is the first month that I have imputed my temps, although I took my temps in January I did not imput it into FF big mistake because apparently I had my dates all wrong I actually just ovulated last Tues. a week later than I thought I did and I did not BD then. No wonder I did not become pg. So this is my question can you ovulated just 5 days before AF arrives?, because that what happened to me.

So in march I am forecasted to o on cd22. I always thought I o'd between 12 and 17.

But this month I am going to bd around cd14 and cd22 to cover my basis.

So I am actually feeling excited.

Have a great day.

Brockstar- congratultions!

Katie- Sorry I put the wrong name on my last post- hope you can forgive me?

AngelB- You always know what to say! You really cheered me up today.
I got another BFN this morning and although I kinda knew it was going to happen, I still felt sad. I rode to work on my bike and passed a young mum with a toddler. When I got to work, I found myself in tears in the ladies. Must be because AF is on her way. I thought that I was making a good emotional recovery since the m/c, but this BFN has unexpectedly stirred things up. I am felling much better now, though, after reading all of your posts and seeing Brockstar's BFP in there.

I also have some great plans for TTC this month and I'm glad to see that you share my optomism about the month of March, Magda. I dont know for certain, but I understood that the luteal phase (ie between O and AF) is usually the bit of your cycle that tends to stick to 14 days. It could be because of your m/c disrupting your cycle, but they should go back to normal within two months. HTH.

Sorry to be in a bit of a low mood today, ladies. I'll be my usual self next time.

brockstar - similar thing happened to me and my OBGYN suggested an early u/s to determine the weeks.

When I had my post-op check up, OB did say he wanted to see me at 7 weeks, so I am just pin pointing that I o'd around 22nd, so in theory, that makes me about 4 weeks 1 day. I'll make the dreaded phone call this week and make an appt with him (last time I made the early call we suffered the m/c), so I'm a little apprehensive about it all! Will keep you all updated.

Hang in there girls, positive thoughts from everyone for everyone. March is the month! Go forth and multiply!!

Katiegirl and Brockstar - Good luck ladies and hoping to join you soon

Just a quick question as I have weekend school today and I really need to hop in the shower!

I am now 4 DPO and today I had a temp drop of 0.1 which put me under the coverline. I know it can't be ovulation (well hopefully not as wouldn't that mean it would probably be ectopic????) so not sure what it is. If you wanna check out my chart and let me know that would be great! Cheers

wow you girls have been busy!

firstly brockstar congrats on the awesome news! very happy for you and like everyone else has said please try not to stress too much and let yourself enjoy this pregnancy.

canary and katiegirl- thank you for being stern with me about the drinking thing, i know you are right...i guess because there are so few things in this whole process that i can control i am somewhat obsessive about controlling the things i can...need a reminder every now and then that i am human...thanks also to tempus and magda for your support

well it feels like we are having a little run of BFP's this week- let's keep it up and keep them coming girls!

Hello Ladies

Yet again it has been awile since i have posted but i have been reading everyone's thoughts just about everyday. It is just by the time i get through all the posts i have to get off the net and don't get a chance to say hello. I just want everyone to knoe that i have been thinking about them and sending lots of positive vibes
Congrats to all the BFP's that is great news and it helps lift my spirits and keeps me on a positive tracking knowing that it could happen to me hopefully soon.
My news: i did a test on Thursday as AF had not arrived and usually it is on time plus my temps had been slowly creeping up over the pervious few days but it came out a . This actually made me upset as i had really hoped that it would happen this month but yet again no. Anyway my AF still hadn't arrived and i thought maybe i had tested to early, but no again i woke this morning to find AF has decided to visit unfortunately. I was really hoping this month would be the one as my father is going into treatment this week for cancer and i was hoping that little bit of good news will help him deal with it. But my thoughts now are that i will hopefuly have great news for him when he comes out of treatment in 7 weeks. What a nice surprise that would be to find out you are going to be a poppy again when he gets home. keeping my fingers crossed for that:
Well lots of to all our BFP friends and lots of for everyone else Here's to a fertile March.

Quick Question: I read ona site that if you are trying for a girl that you new to BD everyday except for when you are Oing. Do you know if this works as i don't think i can carry boys so i thought i would try and eliminate falling with a boy and trying for a girl..................
Hugs and Best luck to you all

I have not been on for a while, and so many things happened!
Congratulations to all that got BFP, lots of to you guys.
Lots of for the rest of us. I hope you ladies are all well, sorry I am not doing personals, but I only had a minute.

I saw Magda's question, and I think I know the answer, so just wanted to post this:

So this is my question can you ovulated just 5 days before AF arrives?,

The thing is, you can, but if your luteal phase (the time between O and AF) is any less than 10 days, then it is a sign of something called luteal phase defect, and it is not good, as your luteal phase has to be at least 10 days to sustain a pregnancy. I would not panic though, you might have just got your temps wrong, but, perhaps, for piece of mind, you may want to talk to your doctor? They can test for that, I got tested after my M/C. Basically they just check your progesterone levels afer you O and the thickness of uterine lining (this is one unpleasant test). I really do not want to be negative, but if you really have this problem it is better to know, as it is fixable, I think they just give you progesterone injections.

well, im officially out for this month. AF arrived this morning , on CD34. I had myself convinced that it would be positive today as AF was almost a week late, and then i woke up this morning, and there she is...

this has affected terribly, and i have spent the whole morning in bed crying (its 1pm now and i ve just gotten up!)

DH and i were talking yesterday about the last time we were happy, and it was back in december when we were pregnant. I know we wont be happy again until it happens again...

betty, im with you, just want a baby, dont really mind what kind!!
canary, i know how your feeling, it sucks whan you get your hopes up and there comes AF.... well, the sooner it finishes, the sooner we can TTC again i guess?!

again, sorry about the sadness today, but thats just where i am....

[Canary]

I told you I was feeling brain dead today, but didnt really mean to prove it.

Forgot to leave a message for Trac. Hun, AF has visited you also and you said that you are feeling sad too.:hugs: I know how it feels to have all the excitement of doing a test only to get a sad result, and AF on top of that doesnt help. I hope that your Dad's treatment is over quickly and that he makes a speedy recovery.
Take care.
