TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ October 07

[satya]

Just a quick drop in to say I'm 8DPO and getting a little nervous. I had a two day dip on 6&7DPO (had a 3 day one with my last pregnancy). Have bleeding gums, have had some hot flushes today, stuffy nose, scratchy throat this morning and am really thirsty today. I was incredibly tired last night too. All things I've had before I got BFP's. My DF and I have reconciled (I hope I don't live to regret that later on down the track) so I'm not freaking out. Anyway, I might just be coming down with something. If AF doesn't arrive I might test Saturday or Sunday morning as I have a 11-12 day LP.

Good luck with your next lot of testing Beaksie..... that must really be doing your head in.

HI girls,
Just a quickie cos i have tonnes of work to do...

Satya - glad u have reconciled with your DF. Hope things are going well for you guys and fingers crossed. your symptoms sound promising!

Beaksie - oh my gosh hun!!! Am soooooooooooooooooo excited for you! I have heard that some women's bodies do not produce heaps of hCG till later on... and you have proof of that from your DD, so maybe your body is following the same pattern!!! Hugs hun and hope you can stay sane for a few days till you know more.

BW - will be thinking of you even tho you might be quiet for a while. Hugs and lots of support to you.

As for me, Day 17 today, i o'ed on day 15 according to my temps, and we got a couple of good quality BD's in there before that... so fingers crossed for us this month! Now entering the 2WW zone!

Big hugs and hellos to everyone else and have a good day. xoxo.

[Beaksie]

Hi everyone, so glad this thread has picked up again.It's been really quiet for a while and Ive missed you all...
As for me. Total freak that I am. Found myself in chemist today with pk of HPTs in hand and LITERALLY had to force myself to put them down and walk out. Am not going to waste any more cash on hpts this cycle. Arggh! Dp and I had a talk, and decided to wait it out. Im either pg, or going to get af, anh no amount of hpts will change the fact. Sound convincing?? For today anyway (lol)
Starrysky -symptoms, hmm. Have felt the odd bit of ickyness,and dry retched a couple of times. Also have nasty sore boobs on and off. As we know though, the mind can play nasty cruel tricks on the body. Have decided that if this isnt my month afterall, I will buy an OPK or start temping next month.
Treelo - glad your feeling more positive about life. Great to see you back
Bw-Goodluck, we'll still be here when you feel like a chat
Everyone else, hope you're doing great, and good luck !!!!
LSB - How are you chickie??
Satya - yeah thanks, it is. How are YOU! Gee lifes never dull is it? Hope you and DP have sorted things out for good, and you've managed to catch the egg this month. Is sounding promising...

[STARRYSKY]

hi satya, glad to see you back again, I am happy you have worked things out, alls well that ends well and all that, sounds promising from your symptoms, my fingers are crossed for you too.
hello lsb, hope you get all your work done! fingers crossed for you too, sending you lots of baby dust for the tww.

[STARRYSKY]

beaksie, i just noticed your ticker, that somehow doesnt seem right!
I agree with you about the thread picking up again, I have missed everyone too, there are still a few girls mia, I hope they are all okay if they are out there in cyberspace reading this.
Have you ever temped before? You might just inspire me to do the same thing, would be interesting I guess, just to see where my bodys at.
I hope you arent driving yourself too mental, thinking of you lots.

[Beaksie]

Hi chick! Yeah the thing with the ticker is it needs to be manually reset. Spose I should delete it, cause even if I resetit its no good till af shows. Definitely think Ill try temping next month just to see where Im at too. This is just crap.At least if I knew when Id O'd I might know for sure whether I was in with a chance. The thing that makes me think I may have o'd really late, is I got heaps of ewcm on about day 25ish.I hadnt noticed any at any other time this cycle, but one of the girls said you get that it means AF is at the door. Anyway, we bd just in case, but I dismissed it cause of the af comment. Was also getting af type cramps which I havent had for a few days. Assuming I did o then, I wouldnt expect a positive hpt till early next week. I know Im grasping here.
Bit convinced yesterdays test was false, as one of the other girls had 2 false+ with same brand. Just so OVER this. Need to know either way, dont even care if AF arrives, as long as it stops the bloody guessing game....
So sorry. I keep taking over with my me,me,me posts. I promise Im not normally a selfish cow...

Changed my ticker.....

[STARRYSKY]

ohhh! she is too cute!
I dont think you are a selfish cow, what is bb here for if not to moan and groan.
I wish things could be easier for you, the worst part must be the not knowing, at least if af was here you could have a few drinks to console yourself.
have you registered with ff?

[Beaksie]

Not yet. Have you? Spose I should at least look it up and see whats all about. Will you use Opks or chart your temps? The only problem I see, is us becoming even MORE obsessed that we are already. Im a firm believer in relaxing to fall pg, has always worked for me in the past. I saw the Maybe Baby OPK saliva tester thingy in the chemist. Its pretty pricey at $75, but considering what i spend on Hpts each cycle, it could actually work out cheaper in the long run.

[STARRYSKY]

ask satya about the maybe baby, I think she said something about it not being reliable for some people, I have used opks once before, working in a chemist I can get most of the testing stuff pretty cheap (at cost) But i only used it because a rep actually gave it to me.
I have registered and completed the course thingy, havent gotten around to actually temping though, I keep reading that you need to have a bbt them, which I can get, but would rather know if I can just use my digital, it would work the same????
That is the reason I havent done it yet!! I dont want to get too wrapped up in just ttc, I want to be able to just bd for the hell of it, not feel obliged cos I want a baby iykwim??

[Beaksie]

Um derr-what does bbt mean? I know Im gonna look like a d***h***d when you tell me(lol)
I reckon a normal digital would have to work. I had no intention of buying a new one. I think its all a bit of a rort really, but hey. Know what you mean about getting caught up, but let's face it. We are already.
Do you have to be at the start of your cycle with FF? Or can you start charting whenever??

[Beaksie]

Just had a quick look, and seems you do need to start on day 1, which makes sense, and I answered my own question about BBT. To be honest, it looks a bit like hard work, and rather confusing. Reminds me too much of high school maths which can't be good.

[AnnaBelle]

Hi everyone,

I am a little sleepy and thought i would just pop in and say a quick good night
Going to bed now - will jump on tomorrow and chat again - i did a quick read over the posts today - thinking of you Beaksie!!

bbt - is basal body temperature - your core or resting temperature - you can start temping after your af has finished just count the cd days from start of af as cd 1 and then do the temps when your af has finished - i am temping down there and wouldn't want to do it during af that's for sure - anyway so far i have managed to take my temp before getting out of bed - despite being desperate for a pee!!!!!

Good night
AnnaBelle

[missbelinda77]

I used the "Mayby Baby" when I first started TTC and it never worked for me - so I had my DH try it - and it said that he was ovulating! So I never used it after that lol

I use FF to chart where I am at, what medications and symptoms I am experiencing - but I don't temp anymore either (after I started having weird nightmares about my BBTT).

Hello to everyone else *wave*, thanks for thinking of me - but I'm still waiting to "O" this month, so just cruising along hoping that the Clomid will work again.

[STARRYSKY]

maybe it was you missbelinda that I was thinking of....oops! (in regards to maybe baby)
I totally agree beaksie, the whole babymaking thing is a rort (financially speaking) to not even mention when you finally have the precious bundle in your arms....hmmm. maybe I should start saving up. I get sucked in so easily.
rofl missbelinda about the nightmares!!!
you know its weird, with my mc i had no bleeding, but now I have these nightmares where in my dream i wake up and im bleeding everywhere, sorry a bit grim, but true.
Goodnight annabelle sweet dreams, Is it more accurate to temp vaginally?
well I suppose I should go to bed, I swear you guys all wait until i walk away from the computer to post!!!
nighty night
xxxxx

[treelo]

morning ladies,

Well my friend left last night, but not before asking if her pregnant 18 yo daughter could move in with us !! I have always said that my house is there's and that if ever they wanted to stay for a while, they could. But i dont know if i can handle this one. it would be for 5 months. Just seeing her everyday and knowing that she got pregnant by accident and doesnt really want it, could be enough to push me over the edge. oh dear....what to do.

hugs
treelo

[Beaksie]

Hi Treelo- Make sure you give it stacks of thought. Dont do it out of obligation cause you might be setting yourself up for months of resentment and misery everyime you look at her. Also, with any luck you'll be UTD yourself before long, and you might prefer a bit of apace. Obviously its your choice, but if we're talking months not weeks, well it could be hard to cope with.

As for me. Day 6. Still BFN and no sign of AF. Totally f***ing over this!!!!!
Sorry I know Im no fun ATM. To top it off DD has worked out how to climb on our glass coffee table which we were using to block her from our monsterous tellie. I had to move said table cause its too dangerous, now shes pressing the buttons and banging on the screen of the TV. Its got that perspexy type screen and it wobbles eveytime she goes near it, so I have to go in search of some kind of play pen thingy to go around it before she stuffs my tv. Ill be pushing my luck to find one in our town that I dont have to special order, or is affordable.

OK had my daily sooky la la episode. Will be back later when I have something more pos to contribute.

[satya]

Beaksie - Maybe Baby measures estrogen surges so if your hormones are out of whack like mine are (probably due to my age) it doesn't really work well. I have high estrogen levels (well I did have on both occasions I was tested). When I used it when I was younger it seemed to work OK but I only conceived once in 8 years of using it.


I had a .3 rise in temp this morning so am getting a little more nervous. Nose is quite blocked so maybe it's just a cold coming on.

[Beaksie]

Hi Satya - thanks for the info about Maybe Baby. Want to try something else, but the logical part of me says Ive conceived 4 times without doing all that so Im really in 2 minds about the whole thing. Thought it might be interesting to know my cycle a bit better though. Might help save me from stupid waits like this one. If I knew when or even IF I o'd this cycle, I might have more idea about whether AF is coming iykwim.
Your symptoms sound promising, Ive got my fingers crossed 4 you. Im so glad youve sorted out stuff with DP. Does this mean you're back TTC (properlY) again? Or are you gonna wait a bit, if this cycle doesnt turn out to be the one??
