Hi, everyone

No luck for me my AF arrived today. I am upset b/c this I should have been entering my 5th month. My original due date was Dec 28 so this is going to be a hard x-mas for me this year, which sucks because x-mas has always been my favorite time of year. The only good thing that I can think could come out of getting AF is that now my cycle is back to normal, last month I was 5 days late took a pregnancy test came back neg and then AF came. AF came even without being invited, how rude.

I only post in here once in a while but I read everyones post constantly.

I quit drinking for the month b/c we decided to try after my D&C in May but since AF arrived I will being having a drink or three tonight.

I have to watch my niece (6) and nephew (2) this weekend so I know that that will help me keep my mind off of ttc. I love it when they spend the night but it is so sad and lonely when they leave. We are suppose to go to a friends this weekend for a bbq and to watch fireworks, but I think that I will pass and just do something special with my niece and nephew. Our friends have a boy that is 7 months and the other couple that are going to be there just found out that she is pregnant again.

It's hard when everyone says " Oh you would be such a good mother" I feel that I would be also but then why did I m/c in the first place.

Sorry for all the babble. It's been a disappointing day and I really have no one to talk to since I work by myself and my DH is not much help b/c he claims that he doesn't understand how I feel but then again he just won't give me a chance to explain and when I try I feel stupid and clam up.

Sorry for venting.

Sayta sorry for your loss.

Good Luck to everyone and hopefully all of you will get BFP.

Thanks for reading

Zennie, Congrats on your BFP. Hoping and praying that everything goes well.

Congrats Zennie! :D :D :D :stickyvibesboy:

Will be testing either before I start work today or after I get home from work tonight (which'll be around midnight)

Well here i am....should be af day tomorrow. I have had many symptoms which could be either af or prg, like sore bb's, teary, overly tired, crampy, and a little more cm than normal. But had three bfn's during the week, so who knows if there were just too early or Af is just around the corner...only time will tell..

treelo

At least if AF is around the corner, you can start getting to the TTC stage of things ;)

Faith,

How are you feeling today hun? I hope your feeling a bit better. Im so sorry that your DH is not being very understanding, i hope you can find the words to try to describe what you are feeling and going through. Have you thought of putting it down on paper, sometimes the words flow easier when the person is not infront of us.

9.15pm - AF has shown her ugly head :doh::(:(

How is everyone? Just wondering although I have seen a couple of you throughout the boards. :)

I'm still as annoyed as ever, waiting and waiting for AF to show her face

Hey Diane,

I am back in the tww again currently 5dpo so getting a little anxious! I am so hoping this is my cycle for a bfp, this cycle is different to the last cycle as my temps prior to O were lower and same a post O temps so I am hoping that is a good sign that this is it. Have you been temping now? Has AF arrived

I would normally be in my tww wait now but this is my 1st cycle since my latest m/c and my temps have been extremely erratic so I have no idea if I am. I had a huge dip on CD13 (.6 of a degree) followed by a .5 jump the following morning and it's been there for two days now but it is about .2 lower than my usual post O temps so I don't think it's happened yet. I have had some pain like I get around O time as well and a few pimples like I usually get mid cycle so it makes me think I might've but the temps just don't look right.

satya~ I am just so sorry that you have had to go through all of this, I hope that time flies and you find yourself with a healthy and happy pregnancy very soon.

Cherie~ I hope the tww flies although it never does! I haven't been doing anything concerning ttc at the moment. I had family in from out of town and have been really busy. I am about 4 weeks late for my last AF it never came in July and is still missing although at this point I know that it means that I just skipped a month! With graduating and finishing up with my projects I guess it was stress. Now at the beginning of the month I wasn't sure if I would still ovulate but we did BD 3,7,10,12,18 I should get my AF the 26th or so if I don't I am going to test. If I test and its neg. than I am going to call my doctor and see whats wrong with me! :)

Lizjessie~ I completely understand the annoyed feeling I have felt that way since June now! :)

Diane - sounds like stress may have kept your AF away last cycle. I am ttcing this cycle but not in earnest. Because my gyno has told me I will probably keep m/c until after the lap is done I probably shouldn't be at all, but because I don't know how much longer I could have to wait we are giving it a shot. I think I'm at 1 DPO as I had another rise in temp this morning and it's about where I usually am around O, plus I had more O type pain yesterday. Normally now I get stuck in to my pineapple juice but this cycle I'm just going to let nature take it's course.... if it's meant to be it will be. It will probably actually be a relief if I'm not pg this cycle cos if I am I will go into a mad panic thinking I'm about to m/c again.

Dianne- My cycles had been like that and I saw my obstertrician who said some women's bodys just take a little longer to get back to normal again and he told me 3 to 6 months. My second cycle after my miscarriage was about 60 days long and then my next one was 46 and now this one will only be 37 so it is slowly getting back to my normal 32 to 34 day cycle. I hope things get a little less stressful for you and you get that BFP soon!

Satya- I am your cycle is almost back to normal! I hope your lap is soon it must be really hard to wait when you just want to be able to ttc without the worry of miscarrying. Goodluck.

Liz- I saw AF finnally arrived for you! I remember how exciting that was for me knowing now you can start offically ttc. Good luck I have my fingers crossed for all of us to get BFP's

As for me I am getting anxious to test and I am only 6dpo! I have saw boobs, crampy, headaches and peeing alot. Just like last cycle I am probably reading to much into it. I just know I will be upset if i am not pregnant this cycle. I see there is people who have been trying for a year or more and that scares me.
Oh well only 8 more days till testing!

Cherie - just some of my stats that may help you. My first pg took 3 years to achieve 10 years ago. The second one took 9 months to achieve, the third one took 5 cycles..... and I'm 41. I've seen lots of younger women have success within 3 months after a m/c.

I just hate the tww. It drives me absolutely insane. I am constantly googling symptoms and I even have a spreadsheet at work now to track symptoms.

I'm going to try not to obsess this time. I think we've timed things well this time but I'm not going to drink pineapple juice to help implantation this time. I normally do, but if the gyno is right it's probably best for me not to conceive until the lap anyway. I also have not been taking vitex (only because I ran out) and I'm not sure when I will start that up again. I think because of this it is very unlikely that I will get lucky this cycle.

I'm going to join you guys in the two week wait except I feel like I have had so many BFP this year (3 in eight months) that I really am beginning to wonder if I should even bother to test. Don't get me wrong I love home pregnancy tests and the little line and the excitement but I haven't enjoyed the let down soon after when I miscarry. I can't help but thinking maybe I wouldn't be as upset If I didn't know I was pregnant. I unfortunatly am one of those women who KNOW they are pregnant long before I can test So there goes the "ignorance is bliss" idea. I am 4 days past O and wanting to get my hopes up but not sure how I will not drive myself crazy in the meantime.

Thanks cherie! I'm glad things are starting to look up for me :D

Satya- You made me laugh about the spreadsheet at work of all the syptoms can you pass me on a copy ;)! I google as well hoping it is going to tell me I am pregnant!
The pinapple juice is interesting! How often are you ment to drink it?

Jayney- Gee three little angels in 8 months that is really tough:hugs:
Are you seeing a FS? Is there a reason why you have had so many miscarriages?
(I hope you don't mind me asking :redface:))

We seem to be all pretty close in DPO
SATYA: 1 DPO
JAyNEY: 4 DPO
CHERIE: 6DPO

I have been very crampy today so totally getting my hopes up as I dont ever get cramps this early before af is due, but since the miscarrage nothing is how it was before so who knows!
:pray: for all of us!

Cherie - I normally drink a glass of pineapple juice each day from O until I suspect I'm pg or AF arrives. You have to stop when you think you could be pg as it can bring on contractions so no pineapple juice at all when you are successful.

I've developed a nasty headache today that's just not going away. If I was further along in my cycle I'd be imagining it as a symptom of early pg, but it really just makes me more sure that I did O yesterday as the lower estrogen can at O can bring on headaches. My temps have been so crazy this cycle though I could still be wrong and I could've O'd a few days ago and just not had as big a rise as what I normally have. Normally I can tell exactly when I O it's so frustrating.

Satya~ I know I will be paniced when or If i get pregnant again. You wouldn't even believe all the "symptoms" I google! Thanks for the spreadsheet idea! ;) I am going to use that. :)

Cherie~ Don't let the cramps fool you lots of women feel that way and get BFP's I know I did!

By this time last month I think I had taken 2 tests I am determined to not do that, especially since I am counting myself out for the most part. Grrrrrr Last month at this time I had put symptoms in my mind this time I don't feel a single thing not even AF symptoms. I am so frustrated with my body. Does anyone know if its possible to ovulate this month when I missed a period last month? I am so selfish to talk about myself so much but I am so upset thats not helping my cause very much> :)

Diane- Thanks for the encouragement. Its not a selfish post, I know how hard it is when you don't know what is going on with your body! I had a few blood tests done when my af didn't show to check all my levels. The bt checked to see if I had ovulated or if my progesterone levels were still low then it ment I hadn't ovualted yet. I still ovulated but it was really late! Have you thought of getting some test done? At least you will know where you are in your cycle. I also use opk's now and they have been great for me and the day after my positive my temp goes up. I aso think you should another hpt because there are some women who dont show up until really late eg one women was DPO 22! So if you get the blood test done they will check your hcg levels as well.
I hope you find out what is going on soon!

Satya- Sorry your temps are being a pain! Mine are lower this time round so hoping it is a good sign!

Crampy again today and tingling nipples (TMI) and omg the worst skin breakout I feel like a teenager again its horrible but I hope it is a good sign!
7 DAYS TILL TESTING AGHHHHH!!!!!

Cherie26- I don't mind you asking. I have no idea why I honestly don't think there is a medical reason why. Just chances. I am healthy and have already had two perfect pregnancies and deliveries. No problem. Many women wouldn't have known they were pregnant for two of my miscarriages as they were very early (4weeks 2days, 5weeks-following a miscarriage at 6weeks)

This week I went to my old GP (we moved just before all the miscarriages) in the town an hours drive away. She didn't have very much to say but was strangely comforting. The last pregnancy I was so worried about losing the baby I drove myself nuts. Resting, not lifting, eating perfectly, no booze( not that I really drink anyway) no coffee, no caffene..... My GP said "A strong pregnancy is a strong pregnancy. And to quit worrying about it." (I lead a pretty healthy life anyway so there isn't much different anyway) I don't feel like whether I miscarry or not is in my power anyway so......I have decided to carry on my life as usual.
Also as much as I want to guess if I am pregnant again or not I am trying to not pay attention to any signs I might be having as I have learned getting the BFP does not always mean baby. Sorry to sound so down I guess that is the price of having got my hopes up too many times. I just think if I didn't know I was pregnant maybe it wouldn't break my heart to miscarry. It could just be another period instead of another miscarriage.
On a positive note the getting pregnant is not a problem as almost every cycle we try-we conceive. So I am hoping that sooner ....please let it be sooner I will be blessed with my third baby and a strong pregnancy.

Jayney - 3 m/c in 8 months must have been tough. As you say though, you can get pregnant easily enough so maybe next time you will get lucky and the bub will stick. When you do get pregnant again it might be worth getting your progesterone levels tested as at your age (sorry not being mean, I'm 41) your progesterone levels might not be what they should be and you might need a little helping hand with it. I haven't had mine tested whilst pregnant but I will be next time.

Diane - Of course it's possible for you to O when you've missed an AF, and you are not being selfish.

Cherie - those are very good symptoms..... I hope they keep going. Tingling nipples & the big break out great signs. I have a bad habit of having symptoms in week 3 that are obviously O symptoms not pg symptoms but they disappear when I get in to week 4. At least I know not to get excited unless they keep on going into week 4.
:)

I'm pretty sure I'm 2DPO now. My temp has been up at normal post O temp for 2 days now so looks like all is working as it should be again. I guess that's the good thing about having early losses, it doesn't interfere with things too much.

The last 3 days have been not easy. I've had heaps of symptoms that I got early on with the last pregnancy including: zits, headache, feeling off, frequent urination, waking in the night to pee, bleeding gums, vivid dreams and difficulty sleeping. Luckily there are no BB symptoms so I'm putting it down to a huge hormone surge with the first O after the m/c. I'm sure it will all disappear after a few more days... but until then every little thing will drive me mental as usual.

Hello, ladies.

I’m back in the 2ww again. Satya, I’m about the same place in my cycle as you again this time and I too have a lot of symptoms each month that could be pg, but happen too early. Last week I had two days of heavy nausea, bb tenderness, and a day of headaches. Thankfully, I recognized the pattern this time. I was travelling too, so I took a few sick bags (empty ones!) from the planes home with me for when I really need them (which I’m hoping will be soon).

Zionsmom—congrats on your graduation!

Hope everyone else is well.

A Question???
I had a sharp sudden pain in my whole pelvic floor about 2dpo it lasted 5-10 minutes and for a few days following it was like I was left with a heaviness and my nerves remembered the pain and were more sensitive. Any ideas about what that was about?

Thanks for the tip about progesterone levels. I have another appointment with a different GP in my new town. Between the two Gp's I am hoping they can figure something out or that while they are deciding I will become pregnant and stay pregnant. One of them is looking into asprin to see if she thinks it will make a difference for me. She said she needs to do some research and check into things as multiple miscarriages is not something she sees often. I'm sure I'll hear pretty soon as she is a social aquaintance of mine.

I can't help looking for signs of pregnancy. Last night I was convinced I wasn't. I keep checking for BB but I am not sure. The last few times I KNEW one week before I could test so maybe not this month. A little down about that but it might give the DR's more time to consider what to do about me.

This experience has helped me to remember to treasure my two little monkeys and not to get too annoyed when they make a huge mess or fight or whine all day. but to snuggle them instead. Which makes me a bit of a push-over but I don't really care about that right now.

Mammal - it's really weird about the early symptoms isn't it. I haven't found any articles talking about it, but it seems it is very common for women to experience these things around O time. Has to be hormone related. I know when I've had my hormones tested my estrogen is always way high so maybe it has something to do with that.

Jayney - I've had weird pelvic pains but I've found they are usually in non pregnant cycles for some odd reason so I don't get my hopes up about pelvic pain or cramps. With my pregnancies this year I've had just the odd AF type cramp and all other symptoms have been the type of thing I posted about yesterday....but we are all different.

I'm feeling really tired again today but my sleep was really restless again. I dreamt about a pregnant woman..... not me..... it was really weird because I thought she was really ugly (I know that's not nice) and I wondered how on earth she got that way.... sorry I don't have any control over my dreams.

Bleeding gums again this morning when I brushed, huge pimple on my chin that I know my DF will want to burst tonight. I also had a .2 raise in temp this morning which is a little unusual for me this early after O.

Another tww. Its only my second and i hate it already.

treelo

4 days till I can test but now with the more sensitive tests I might be able to test tomorrow. I am not sure I want to test. I don't feel pregnant but who knows. I don't want to test and see a BFP only to miscarrry a few days later Again!


But I soooo want to be pregnant. I wish we could just think ourselves pregnant. Then those of us who really want babies would be having them. And the young young girls who are praying "Please let it be negative" wouldn't.

Jayney - I know what you mean about finding out so early then loosing it. I guess its the chance we have to take. Best of luck for when you do test - please let us know !!. I see you live in BC - my ex lives in Campbell River BC.

Hi ladies,

I had a major headache all day yesterday, that just wouldn't budge. Had to get out of bed twice overnight to wee, but that could be the fibroid doing that. Another vivid dream last night. This time that I went to hospital for my lap and they told me (while I was on the operating table) that they would not be operating ever..... very upsetting.... until I woke up. 5DPO for me.

Hello Ladies, I'm so pleased this thread is here as I feel like I am not alone after all......I believe I ovulated 14 or 15th of this month and am not sure how long to wait till I test with a HPT or go to my Dr for a blood test....but by reading your posts I'm guessing I have to wait two weeks????am I right???? well if that's the case then thats this wednesday......I did impatiently test yesterday and of course got a BFN :( but I expected too.....how silly is that! I am very irritable and snappy right now and so don't think I have any symptoms but don't think I had any this stage last time either?? Oh I feel like I am obsessing...Fingers crossed for everyone though.....won't it be great for us all to logon and announce BFPcys.......:) yaaaay -x-

Well, I'm not in the TWW YET, but I thought I'd pop in and say helloo!!!

5 DPO for me too…. Unless it’s 8 DPO. My thermal shift was more like a slope this month, rather than the steep jump I'm accustomed to. I've been taking Vitex for about three weeks, so that could be it. I did have my highest temp ever this morning, though. And I have lots of cervical fluid too. I don’t want to read too much into it. Maybe my progesterone is just stronger than usual. That’s pretty good news, though. Usually, my luteal phase isn’t long enough to sustain a pregnancy. I guess I’ll find out next week! :crossfingers:

Hi to everyone!

DOES THE WAITING EVER END????????

Mammal- Good news about your temp and cm! This could be your month now your LP is getting longer:crossfingers:

Dawnee- Sweetie I know how you feel! I did the early test a couple of days ago expecting to be one of the 3 percent that get an early BFP- Suprisingly no luck there! Obsessing I think the that comes with the territory of the tww!

Satya- Wow your symptoms sound like your are pregnant as they look like what you had last month when you were pregnant. I hope that if you are that its a sticky one this time despite the fibroid!

Janey- If only wishing would work! I have been praying so much that God doesn't have a chance to hear anyone else's prays! We are due to test on the same day so good luck to you and BFP's for all of us!

Well 11 dpo today and my temps rose a couple of days ago but have dropped the slightest and have still been crampy so am kind of expecting to get af:(.
I have been so emotional I even cried watching a stupid kids movie (my husband laughed which didn't help!) I feel so many symptoms I felt the last time I was pregnant but with my temps I just don't see it being my month and it makes me pretty sad. I really wanted to be pregnant before my babies due date which is next month. Oh well I hope there a BFP's all round this month!

3 days till testing! (Ok maybe I will do one today! And maybe tomorrow and probably the next day!)

Cherie - Last cycle my temp dropped for 3 days - I'm guessing this was the implantation dip that you hear about then it rose gradually for 3 days and I got a BFP on the 3rd day of rises so you never know.... your temp might just do a late rise.

Dawneee - I think it's best to wait until your AF is pretty much due as that's when you are likely to get an accurate result.

Mammal - I'm a bit like you this cycle. I'm either 6DPO or 9DPO. My temps were all over the place after the m/c and because of this I can't be sure of where the coverline should have been. FF has me at 6DPO but my temp was .1 of a degree lower for 3 days straight before the day it gave me my coverline, so it could have happened earlier. I had one high temp a few days after the m/c so that could have put the whole thing out. Anyway I'm going with 6DPO, I will only know when I get my AF as I have a 11-12 day LP so either I will get it in another 3 days or 6 days. Great news on the high temp.

:)

I had another temp rise this morning. It is where it was when I found out I was pregnant last cycle. Not getting excited though because I have been this high before only to start dropping the next day. Fell asleep really early again last night. Bleeding gums again this morning. No BB symptoms though so I don't think I'm pregnant. If I remember correctly though (will have to check my spreadsheet at work) I didn't get any BB symptoms until a day or two before I tested positive. I had a major mood swing on Saturday night, but nothing since. Oh well will just have to wait and see what happens.

Hi, everyone i hope u guys don't mind me joining u in the tww. I O'd on the 21st and have been bding almost everyday hoping i get some kind of luck this month acording to my cycle my next af suppose to be on labor day weekend the 4th i am hoping it doesn't come but the wai is just nerve recking i havent had no major symptoms but i have noticed some frequent urination, heart burn, and alot of mucus discharge (sorry for tmi) do u think its too early to have any symptoms or to do a HPT.

Lanena— technically, you don’t get symptoms of pregnancy until after implantation (about 7 DPO), because the implantation causes your body to produce so much more progesterone than normal. But I can assure you that almost everyone in this thread has at least some symptoms and we all hope against hope that they mean something.
