Hi to all - just been catching up on what's been happening on here over the last week!
Cmegelles - Congratulations!!!! So pleased to hear you have your BFP! Obviously the holiday worked for you which is just awesome. Will probably stalk you on the pregnancy forum!! Have a H&H 9 months!!!
Aries - good luck with the IUI. Hope you get your BFP next cycle - let us know how you go!
Toomanyshoes - welcome to this thread. It must be so difficult not having answers. I hope you pursue seeing an FS to see if they can help. I hope your stay is short.
Crumpet/CharlieB - glad to hear that things are ticking along nicely for you both.
cTenibear - I love the fact you have added the c to your name!! Hope it brings you lots of babydust.
Angelic/Chez67 - thanks for the info on TTC after D&C. Did a bit more research on it and it seems there is such a difference of opinion around but to hell with it - I am going to start TTC right away.
Hello to Lemonade, Samcougar and Gigi.
Ended up having D&C this last Friday. Gyno put me on Provera to start my AF to see if he could flush it out when it seemed they thought RP was floating. After D&C on Friday Gyno said it wasn't floating at all but was quite firmly attached. Said it was an odd case as my HcG was less than 1 but still had RP. Anyway, he doesn't seemed too fussed about TTCing again this cycle. In fact he mentioned putting me on Clomid in a couple of weeks to kick things along! A bit worried about that as I have already been preg with twins naturally and it didn't end well....Hmmmm will have to think about that. He didn't seemed concerned. Said it increased chances of twins from 1 in 80 to 1 in 40. Still don't know how I would feel if I was preg with twins again. I imagine my anxiety would be sky high. Higher than with a singleton anyway. That might sound weird to some but makes sense to me given my personal history!
Anyway, have decided that we will defo TTC this cycle (though not sure when to take cd1 from day of period from Provera or day of D&C?). Never gotten prego first time trying anyway! Will have to do some serious charting/temping/OPKing to know when I am ovulating. Anyway, glad D&C is over as I feel a step closer to getting that BFP!! So excited that I am no longer an unoffical lurker but an active TTCer!!!
SusieQ - so glad that you are on the TCC train now! Sorry that you had to have a D&C but it seems from what you have written it was needed. Hope your pondering about clomid brings you to a resolution, I can understand your fears. Can't wait to read about your temp, CM, and OPK'ing.
Tenibear- Hooray AF has passed. Onto a new chapter.....I second dory when she says there is no 'good' time to have a baby. One of my advisors in college told me this and I find that there are always reasons (money, work etc.) to wait.....As far as replacing Ianto- everything I have read and looked at says that you will not do this. I understand your fears, but Ianto has a very special and private place in your hearts and will always. They say that in the far off future you will watch your children playing on the playground and remember and long for the one(s) you lost. I often think of how much my perspective and my life has changed because of our DS and I would not change it for anything. Like your Ianto, I think all our children will always have a place in our lives because they make up who we are......Sorry I will get off my soapbox- please feel free to scold me if necessary.
SusieQ- thank you--and congrats on beginning to TTC! How wonderful that your doctor is boosting your cycles with Clomid to get you started. I look forward to hearing about your OPKs and jounrey. Best of luck that it is a short one hun.
Tenibear - I can tell you from my own experience, you will without a doubt love all of your children equally. Another child will never ever replace Ianto. I kind of questioned why I was so eager to TTC again but I was reading an article about David Cameron (I am living in the UK at the moment) who lost his 6 year old disabled son a little under a year ago. He and his wife are pregnant again and one comment really resonated with me and that was that the new baby would never replace their lost son but that the pregnancy had brought their family hope and happiness in a very difficult and sad time. I know that is how I feel about TTC again.
Dory - I cannot believe I missed you on my last post - rude rude me. I am really glad to hear everything is progressing well for you. I read your threads on the pregnancy forum to see how you are going!
Time for me to start obsessing over temps. Mine was 35.5 this morning. I generally have low temps but this one is really low. Thinking my system must be quite really screwed up at the moment with everything that has happened. Going to take cd1 from D&C - imagine it might be a long cycle this month so will start with the later date.
Well I am a newby to this thread. I just stumbled across it and thought that it would be a very helpful thread to be in, hope you all don't mind me joining in.
I have been through nowhere near as much as majority of you all have but I still struggle day to day with my losses. DH and I have been TTC since May 07 (when we were married). We have been lucky enough to conceive twice but unfortunately lost both to MC. I had all the test done and everything seemed to look ok so I still have no explanation to why this has happened. I put it down to one of two things: 1 - I suffer from DVT's so I could have had clotting around the placenta and 2 - My progesterone levels could have been too low. I have been told that my hormones are all over the place.
As it takes us quiet a while to conceive, my OB has started me on Clomid and Pregnyl injections around cd12. He has also got me taking 100mg of aspirin as he thinks this should help with implantation and lessen the chances of Blood Clotting. I am now on my second cyclce of clomid and had my cd21 BT on Monday so I get the results for that tomorrow.
Has anyone else had any troubles with their progesterone levels? What do you do to fix this?
So happy to have found this thread and I look forward to being a part of it.
Thanks everyone for your opinions on my problem with DH I see where all of you are coming from, and I also see that it's something that we should sort out for ourselves. I'm not out to replace Ianto, not at all, and neither is DH. He just felt like I was trying to.
We've both come up with different solutions throughout today - mine I couldn't even stick to for twenty minutes I instinctively wrote down that we'd dtd... right after I said that from now until August(ish) we're not actively trying. Just not using protection Apparently there's a difference... Intention, I suppose. He's promised that he'll be a bit more interested now
I don't mind if we're dtd for different reasons. He's said to me that he wouldn't mind me being pregnant again, he just doesn't want to try to get pregnant... So frustrating!
