TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #7

It's just taken me forever to catch up on last nights chatter. Love waking up to a good story, makes my day. :p

Jen - hope you enjoyed your drink. Down a couple of more in the next few days cause come august you'll be back on the cyber drinks. Still PRACTICISING, PRACTICISING, PRACTICISING. Woke up early this morning, feeling so sick, ended up throwing up, so don't know where that came from (probably from one of the day care kids - one was sick on monday - with i don't know what - but mum still sent her siblings along). Feeling much better now, so we'll see how I go today.

Ruthie - You need to give that little one a "pep" talk - Tell him/her that all his/her "aunties" on BB said to behave and grow up big and strong like Erick.

Rachelswirl - Glad you enjoyed your ride. Sounds lovely.

Smilanatu - Good to see you back after your break. I just love the timing some people have . Glad that your work on your desk isn't too high. Do you want to come and deal with mine??????

Joey - Just wanted to say have fun at camp (tried to post last night but lost the lot)

OMG, anyone who doesn't want to read something that's TMI, then please skip this post! Overflowed another tampon, and when I pulled it out there was a fifty-cent piece size clot hanging off it! Sorry, I warned you! :redface: Then 30 min later went through another tampon already, with another clot about the same size! Really bad cramps and back pain, too... :( And boy, have I been irritable! :angry: Krystie, last month you said something like this happened to you..... well, I don't know how big your clots were, :lol: cuz I don't know that you shared that part! Any ideas what could make that happen--something left over from m/c, or something? I don't know... just wondering.... Must get Midol.... :wall:

mollycat--Practice makes perfect! :dance: Keep it going until you see that coverline! I did enjoy my drink last night. Had to give DF a guilt trip about it cuz I always run up to the market for him for beer--at least 3 times a week, if not more. I had such bad cramps and backache, and still had to get up and get dressed and drive myself to the market to get my drinks, while he just laid on the couch.... I'll have to remember that one next time he needs some beer! :angry: See, very irritable! Sorry to have vented to you, hun... just had to get it out, and you just happened to post at just the perfect time! You must've planned it that way! :hug:

I'm definitely planning on downing a couple drinks tonight--maybe all 5! :lol: It's only 2:30 right now, I wonder if it's too early to start? :lol:

Mollycat: you made me all teary eyed!! ( oooh yah I'm hormonal now.. BWWWAAHAHAAHAH!!!:rofl::happyforyou:
He or she or them....better behave. I feel the worst morning sickness I have ever had!! I'm super lightheaded and super nauseous the whole day!!.. which has me thinking OMG imagine if I ham having twins??!!!!
:chair:

Thank you so much hun.. you made my day!!
:hug:

This day has been sooooo sloooww here... there is a heat wave in NJ and it sucks living on the last floor of an apartment cuz we get all the heat!!:doh:

Love you loads!!:inlove:

How are my BB girlies doing today?.. I see not much posts today huh?.. Well I know it could be the time difference cuz when I wake up I see like 3 pages have gone ahead fo me.. :cryinglaugh:

:grouphug:
Ruthie

just a quick hello girls, ive been reading, but i havent been posting...been really busy at work, and then ive been so tired that ive been going to bed really early...so im sorry, ive been thinking of you all...ill be away till monday, so i wont be around till then girls, so i hope you all have a great weekend xx

Jen hun you might wanna see a doc.

Jen - I agree with Rachelswirl - Try to get in and see a doctor or give your doctor a call and tell him/her what's happening. Seems a bit excessive for normal AB. Jen - (after you get AB sorted out) it's never too early to start - just ask by DH that one. I've seen him start before breakfast at times. (Usually after a party).

Ruthie - want to send some of that heat over here. Woke up this morning at 5degrees celcius (don't know what that is in farenheit), I think it's only supposed to get to about 15-17 today. At least at the moment the sun is out, it just feels really cold. I've just turned the heater off.

Chappas - How did your hosp apt go?

Rachel - I hope your lap/dye goes well and gives you some much needed answers.

Van - Honey I'm sorry that you have been so stressed. DH sounds like he's being very sweet and looking out for your best interests. As much as I'll miss you here, maybe it'll be the best thing for you to take a break. You have to promise to come back and tell us about you BFP when you get it though!!! :hug:

Angel (aka Snitch) - Don't leave us hanging hun! :hug: Mwahhh!!!

Jen - My AF was the worst I'd ever had last month, but yours sounds even worse. I had one overflow, and some clots, but nothing even close to 50cent sized. Hmmm, actually I'm just now realising that I don't know how big your 50cent pieces are in relation to ours, LOL! Ours are pretty big... I'll assume yours are too. If you had had a faint line on your test I would have been convinced that you might be having an early miscarriage. But maybe your body knows how much we all want to join the same belly buddy group this month and it's giving you a mega clean out!

Mollycat - Is summer here yet?! Why oh why does winter have to be so cold?!

Good evening ladies...checking in before bed...maybe I won't have soooo much catchin' up to do at work ;)

mollycat...I love ya hun but ummm...I gots to say no to doing your desk...keep in mind I didn't even do my own :lol:

jen...WHOA 50 cent piece size? Yeah you might want to get that checked out...it's definitely NOT normal

Alrighty off to bed for me...I am pooped!!!

:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Let's try for some more :bfp: we still have a couple of days... :goodluck:

mollycat--DF is the same way at times! :lol: Will see how the rest of AB goes... at least I'm not having to change every half hour anymore, so seems like maybe things will start to slow down. I'm :crossfingers: at least! Still waiting to see that coverline of yours!



Thanks, Rachel... :hug:



Krystie--I should be nice and cleaned out after this cycle--ready to join that belly buddy group we were talking about! This is definitely my worst since the m/c--that's the last time I had cramps and clots like this! So glad things seem to be tapering down!

Your temp is increasing nicely! How's that new book coming along? I know I read that one, but sometimes if I only read it once, it kinda blurs with all the other ones, so I'm not really sure I remember what happens. Think maybe there's some caverns in it? You'll have to let me know...



Chappas--Hope things went well for you today... thinking of you! :hug:



Goodnight smilanatu! I had forgotten that Monday was included in your 4 days off...glad to hear your desk wasn't too bad, plus what a bonus--no manic Monday!

Smilanatu - It's okay, I understand, I don't want to do my desk either. Have a good sleep.

Jen - glad that AB seems to be settling down. If she plays up again, ring a doctor. Hopefully, just a good old fashioned clean out.

KL - You know when summer gets here we'll be whinging cause its too hot? I'd like something in the middle. Don't like the 40+ days.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for all your replies and best wishes!

Easha / Kristielove - I'm not currently using FF, I am seeing a herbalist that specialises in fertility and she has given me a chart for my temp.

Chappas- Thanks sweetie

Vanaithi - Everybody says don't think about it, but not thinking about it is the hardest thing to do. I wish you all the best for the future and hope all of our dreams come true!!!

I am a little paranoid today, I'm day 18 and already I feel as if I'm pregnant....think it may just all be
in my head and I may be going crazy!! Spoke to my doc this morning and going for a blood test this afternoon!!!! Does anyone know if it's possible to feel a pregnacy this early...let alone test for one???

Feeling a little a scared becasue I want nothing more than to be pregnant but so scared of another ectopic!!

Hi All,

having trouble posting again!!

Chappas / Jen / Joey - thanks your for the well wished and warm welcome;)

Easha / Kriestielove - I'm not cufrrently using ff, seeing a herbalist and she gave me a chart to use.My temp is up a little and feel as if I'm pregnant. Not even sure if it is possible to feel a preganacy so early on.

I guess I'm being paranoid but I called my doctor today and he wants me to do a blood test, I think it is way to early to tell but I will do it anyway.

Just so scared of another ectopic, want nothing more than a healthy happy baby:pray:

Vanaithi - Don't give up...everyone always says 'don't think about it' but not thinking about it is the hardest thing....we will all get our dreams one day, we have to believe that!:hug:

Hi ladies,

I'm sorry for not posting before now, but AF arrived on the weekend :( not that she was unexpected. So I am on CD4 today.

Things are not going so well since we saw the FS yesterday though. He has recommended that we do one more Clomid/IUI cycle then go to IVF. We're both still a bit in shock I guess, although after this last cycle I have finally admitted to myself that IVF is probably what we need to do. Unfortunately though, DH and I (mostly DH) still have a few issues we need to resolve about doing IVF, which I won't go into now.

But anyway, we are doing a few things different this cycle - we're waiting for my LH to surge and then giving me a trigger shot (normally if my LH surged we just wouldn't bother with the trigger) and also changing the LP support from progesterone pessaries to Pregnyl injections. So hopefully we will have some luck - although I'm not feeling overly confident ATM to be honest :(

Sorry for the lack of persies, I promise I will try to do some soon. It's just a bit hard to get motivated to talk about TTC when you are feeling like you are not going to have any success anytime soon :(

Hugs to everyone xx

Jen: Glad AB is slowing down (feels weird saying that because it's my Aunts nickname). Are Aus 50cent peices the same as US ones??

Larz: How far into your cycle are you hon? Keeping my :crossfingers: for you!

AFM: Stupid FF and stupid FC. They can both take a flying leap! AH! Entered my temp into FC today and it moved my o day to cd20 and my chances of conceiving to LOW! Grrrr! Then fiddled with FF a bit and it moved my o day to cd19 (if I dicarded cd15's temp) and my chances to high! Felt guilty so I moved it back! Sheesh! Off to the doctors in an hour to get my results and whatnot back, so I'll check in when I know whats going on!!

Hope everyone is marvelous!

Megsmum: :hug: darlin! I hope you feel better! I'll keep everything crossed for you that this cycle is yours!!

Thanks tutmae :hug:

Sorry about the me post everyone...that's all I seem to be posting about ATM :(

Tutmae - I'm only at day 18 and ovulated at day 14:wall:

I know I can't do a home pregnancy test yet, but as my tube ruptured at 5 weeks last time I'm a little scared..

Larz: maybe you could go to the doctors and get a blood test, just to put your mind at ease.

Tutmae - I'm going for a blood test this afternoon, will it be accurate???

Hey girls! Just got back from the doctors. The good news is that I am ovulationg (in fact my bloods indicate that I ovulated sometime at the start of last week). The bad news is that I do indee have pcos. The doc didn't seem too concerned, as I managed to get pregnant before with undiagnosed pcos so everything is obviously working. She said that if I am not pg in the next couple of months then she'll look at putting me on mentaformin (sp?). She was quite upbeat, actually, which made me feel a bit more confident. I also have ridiculously high cholesterol levels thanks to a genetic disorder my whole family has, so I've been put on a very strict diet and also a low gi diet as I'll be predisposed to diabetes when I get pg.
Trying to focus on the fact that I am o-ing. Which is a great sign!!
Sorry this has been a me post. Just needed to let you all know. I'll be testing on the 11th of this month provided the witch doesn't rear her head!

Jen- Hope you are better today and ab calming down:hug:

Ruthie- Glad you're having m/s not in a mean way iykwim;)

Megsmum- Sorry about AF :crossfingers: for you this cycle

Tutmae- Good news that you are ovulating, my family have same prob with cholesterol i had gest diabetes when preg with dd. Went away with diet so being on diet before will hopefully keep it at bay.

AFM- Thanx Jen + KL for asking about hosp. Everything went ok nothing serious just having probs with my ears at mo.

Evening All,

Van - best of luck over the next few months - hope you fall Preg without even knowing it

Rachel - hun.... :hug: for you you at this time. Best of luck with your procedure

Smilanatu - you got sent the bill.... those $%^& heads. I suppose that is one great thing about Oz free health care, through the public system anyway

Jen - I agree DH and I have started :bd: already just in case. I must subconciously be thinking about BD in my sleep cause I woke up on top of DH ready to go :rofl: of course he didn't mind

As for the huge AF - maybe it was just a big clean out before the new bub moves in :)

Larz - have a read through FF as it has some great information you can actually sign up for the daily emails which gives great info for free. Moral of the story is now the temp needs to continue to stay high. The BT may not come back with a result as you are only 4DPO and HCG usually doesn't kick in until 10DPO - best of luck though

Megsmum - bugger, bugger, bugger.... I was so hoping for the 3rd :bfp:, crappy July (except for Tina and Ruthie) bring on Aug

Tutmae - I can sense your frustration through your posts.. :hug: Fingers crossed the BD has worked this month

AFM - gyno day tomorrow yayayayayay !!!!

Will let you know the outcome

tutmae-- Three :cheer: for O!! Sorry about the PCOS and high cholesterol.... Keeping my fingers crossed you won't need the meds! :crossfingers: Big :hug:






Sorry, tut--just realized I must've typed the wrong name! :doh: Forgive me, it's still early here! Don't know about your 50 cent pieces, ours are about the size of 2 quarters together...

Did you mean me, hon?

mollycat--Looks like it was just a good old fashioned clean out... was thinking that whacked out cleaning fairy must've possessed AF the way she possessed me!! :rofl: This am there was nothing but a brown smudge--although after yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing left inside me! :lol: Wouldn't that be nice--a 3 day AF visit? I'm sure I won't be that lucky!



larz--Not sure if a BT will pick up the hcg at 4DPO, I think looking at other charts on FF, the earliest +hpt was on 8DPO. Just don't be too discouraged if you get a BFN, as it may just be too early! Sending lots of :pray: and :hug:

Yes! Sorry tut! I went back and edited it.... :redface: What a dork! :lol:

Hehe... still love you!
Plus, a 3 day af would be awesome!

megsmum--Sorry to hear about AF... looks like we're 1 day apart and will be cycle buddies this month. I'm really :pray: this last round of Clomid/IUI will bring you your much wanted BFP, and you won't need the IVF!! Hope the trigger shot and Pregnyl injections help you on your journey! Big :hug: sorry you're feeling so down, we all need "me" posts now and then... please don't stay away because you're worried about venting, that's what we're here for. I'd rather read a "me" post than not know what's going on with you, hon! Take care! Sending lots of :bluedust: :pink-babydust: and lots more :hug:

Feel like a chat tut, or are you busy?

jen...my best friend gripes every month because I am one of the fortunate ones with a 3 day AF...hers is like 5 - 7 days and horrid!

Girls, you've got to check out this Youtube video--tried to post the link, but for some reason it's not coming up as a link....so go to youtube, and type in Christian the Lion.... it's SO sweet, it actually had me in tears (no surprise there, I'm such a sap!) Anyhow, they showed it on the Today show--which is the morning news in case you haven't heard of it--I saw it last week, and they showed it again today. Please check it out--Krystie, I think you'll really like this one! :)

tutmae--Yay, got the pics! :cheer: For some reason my computer sent it right to junk mail! :computer: You're beautiful, girl! :)




Gotta run downtown to get DS's prescription--he's getting poison oak really bad. Promise I'll be back to finish persies... I know I'm lagging this am--but at least most of you are sleeping and don't even know it! :rofl: Be back soon.....

That was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen...thanks for sharing jen!

OMG JEN!!!! That video had me crying so much! I even showed hubby and he said that was really touching.. he just didn't understand why I was crying.....:cryinglaugh:
MEN!!:rolleyes:
Oh yeah and where are you??.. Cold?/. PLEASE SEND SOME COLD HERE!! We are gasping for air literally.. so freaking HOT!! UUGGHH and humid... double ugghh.. AND STICKY TRIPLE UUUGGHHH!!!!:wall:

tutmae: So doc suspects PCOS on ya?.. Maybe it's mild cuz if he gave you proof that you ovulated you have a great chance of conceiving unmediated. Girl I have severe PCOS and its living HELL as you can see.. I truly call my self.. " THE LAB RAT"...

I'm praying for you and that you got that eggie.. cuz that would be super awesome that you get your BFP!!!! :pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:
Sending you my best wishes.

To all my BB girlies.. How are you all doing today????
Leaving My best wishes, Love and :pink-babydust:


:grouphug:

Ruthie

:hello: Hey smi--I thought so, too! As soon as I saw it I thought of all you girls, and thought all of us would get a good cry out of it! :lol:




Ruthie--My DF couldn't understand why I was crying, either! :rofl: He did think it was really cool, and even said, "See, I've always told you I wanted to raise a big cat like that!" Which he has mentioned in the past, but um... hello, can you say Sigfreid and Roy? :cryinglaugh: But yeah, I've cried like 4 out of the 5 times I've watched it...and counting! It's just so sweet I can't stop watching it! :rolleyes:

Oh, and I'm in California--will only be in the low 70's today and kinda cloudy... I wish it were something between 75-80 deg. that would be the best! I'm always cold, so wearing jeans instead of shorts today.

chappas--Glad to hear the hospital appt. went well, glad it was nothing serious. Hope your ears are ok!



Easha--How funny is it that you woke up in the saddle! :rofl: Yeehaw cowgirl! You should join a club with plc and ... oh, who the heck was that? Can't remember, anyhow, you should all make a cowgirl club--girls who ride the saddle! :lol: Good luck with your gyno appt! :goodluck: Fingers are crossed for you! :crossfingers: Remember, assertive voice... and get all your questions answered--I hope you have a list!



Angel--Ok...it's Thursday... I've been a lonely girl without you....are you back yet????? I'm waiting.... but not very patiently! :hug:



Krystie--Where were you this am girl? I need my dose of medication!! :lol:

Where is Angel Babies? Do we need to send out the search party?
