1 day DPO and in need of buddies :)

[confusedprego]

10,000-20,000?!! holy moly!! argh! yea see what your specialist says! let us know!

thanks kels! I actually haven't mentioned it on facebook yet. I don't know why but I've been super weird about the facebook/pregnancy thing. My MIL and SIL (my brother's wife - not the one that does my U/S's which is DH's sister) have been practically begging to be able to post about it and I gave in to them about a week ago and said they could post as long as they don't tag me and I think they realized my hesitation enough that they haven't done it. I think they're all waiting for me to post something and then they will.
My somewhat plan is the next picture that gets tagged of me and my belly I'll tag a "baby garvin" in it and see how many people catch on to it and go from there lol. I had a friend who lost her baby at 16 weeks due to an incompetent cervix and she had announced her pregnancy at 8 weeks on facebook and had to tell everyone she lost it and since they're following me to make sure I don't have one of those I'm still paranoid even though today he said my cervix looks great and is way longer than the average pregnant girls, so maybe after my 20 week scan I'll chill out a bit!

Last night 2 times I had a weird tingly crampy feeling I'n my uterus right I'n the middle only lasted a couple of mins. Anyone ever get this. No pain I'n either side this month. And a light burning feeling I'n left nipple. I can't believe I'm symptom spotting. Lol. I had tinny bit if ov pain 6 days ago. Bur I don't know wheee Im at this month af due I'n about 15 days

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls :wave: so I think I am finally caught up! Whew!

So happy to see you girls on FB - I have some catching up to do there too as I don't get on too often these days.

Kelsey - that fertility test sounds interesting. I hope you don't need it next month but I would be curious about the results. Oh and this month, I think you should start BD a little earlier, how about starting on CD 10 and then every other day till O, day of and then the day after? You want to be sure you have plenty of sperm "in waiting"!!!

Sam - I think your pregnancy symptoms sound pretty good and your chart is looking good!!!! Everything is crossed for you!!

Lindsay - Oh I love the scan pics!! Congrats on your little boy!!!! I can't believe you are already 16 weeks!!! It's crazy how they start to look like a little person so fast! I like the name Quinlan and Rylan also!!! And yes, you should definitely sit your tush down this pregnancy!!!

Rach - sorry you got AF!! Did you get your thermometer so you can start temping??? If not start right away!!

Eliza - do you temp? I think your symptoms sound good, I have everything crossed that this is your month!!!

Mel - how are you doing? are you ready to start trying this month?


I have not checked into IVF but I thought it's about $15,000. I don't know, I can't imagine going through all that just to have my body do something to terminate the pregnancy. Right now out of 4 MC's I only have tissue results on 1 and that 1 showed a chromosomal problem. My specialist could not find anything by testing us that would cause a chromosomal problem to reoccur. He has said that he just thinks its "bad luck". I guess if I had multiple tissue tests that showed a chromosomal problem each time I would probably feel like this is a good idea but with what I have to go on I just don't know. I am going to call tomorrow and make an appt to speak to the specialist maybe next week. I was so pissed today to even deal with it.
OMGosh the research for my trip is exhausting!!! I have started a binder with tabs for all of the ports to add my notes. (I'm anal like that). Its still over 3 months away, seems like forever!!!

 

[korink26]

Oh Lindsay that's such a cute way of "announcing" it on facebook! It's your own subtle way...
Eliza I've never had those symptoms---actually WTH, I've never had any symptoms so I'm not help! I hope it means positive things! Have you been BD'ing this whole time just in case?
And Jessie you're totally right, with me OV'ing earlier than normal last month, I should start bd'ing earlier than CD12. For awhile we tried the SMEP and that really wore us out, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it out again this month....
As far as IVF, the "what ifs" are the worst! I know some places offer money back (not all of it) if IVF isn't successful. I suppose it doesn't pay to worry sick about it until you see your specialist, I'd trust their opinion the most.
Your DH is so lucky you're so organized----it will make the vaca so much more enjoyable for him because you've done all your research already! I love vacation, but I hate planning it and researching it because I'm so bad at making decisions. My DH is good about taking the lead with that---he planned our whole honeymoon.
Rachael---good luck with the temping---just make sure to take it at the exact same time ever morning (or at least close to the same time!) I sent you a link to fertility friend---you've probably heard of it but it's awesome for charting your temps/symptoms. Also, how is moving going?! Annndd...anything from the job??

 

[BeachChica]

Kelsey - I am organized but my DH is the KING of research. He researches everything before we buy. Sometimes its a little over the top (you should have seen us with our luggage purchase last week we had 3 sets of luggage sitting in our bedroom just so we could compare them side by side.) Sometimes we are a little over the top. For this trip we split up the ports since there are so many and I want to be sure I get to see the things I want to see on this trip too

 

[filipenko32]

Hey girls just a quick stop in to say hello! Work has been nuts this week so I have not had a chance to catch up but I will tonight!

The doctor told me today that the tissue from my MC could not be tested. I am sooooooo pissed!!!!!!
Anyway, she (the regular OB) suggested I try in vitro now so that everything could be tested for chromosomal problems before being implanted. I don't know I need to make an appt to speak to my specialist now about all this. Seems extreme and very expensive when I only have 1 set of tissue results that show a chromosomal problem and all of DH and I's tests have come back normal. What do you girls think?

That is so annoying Jessie!! Why couldn't it be tested?!?! also they cant go recommending pgd ivf without knowing for sure you're having abnormal losses! You could have a blood clotting problem or something. Are you going to get basic recurrent miscarriage tests done? Did they ever give a good reason why not?
Well I have my results back from the forth miscarriage and it was chromosomally abnormal! It had trisomy 13 or 18 (the consultant couldn't remember which one from reading the notes earlier) which basically means it was a bad luck formation at conception. So that's one normal loss and one abnormal one! Arggh! I don't know what to think about this!

Last night 2 times I had a weird tingly crampy feeling I'n my uterus right I'n the middle only lasted a couple of mins. Anyone ever get this. No pain I'n either side this month. And a light burning feeling I'n left nipple. I can't believe I'm symptom spotting. Lol. I had tinny bit if ov pain 6 days ago. Bur I don't know wheee Im at this month af due I'n about 15 days

Hi Eliza, I really hope these are early pregnancy symptoms for you, I really believe that you can get pregnancy symptoms so early and Im well qualified to say that now!! X x

 

[babydust818]

I'm at work so I got to update quick. I still haven't got a thermometer but I will tonight. I got ur email Kelsey. I will join this evening! no call yet from the job. I keep looking at my phone hoping yo hear it ring. we are packing for the big move on Monday. I'm exhausted between that and work. wish o could take the weekend off, but I can't.

hope y'all are doing good! ill ttyl

 

[BeachChica]

Mel - I have no idea at this point why the tissue could not be testing. I really think that someone screwed up but of course nobody is going to tell me that. DH and I have had all of the recurring MC testing done and everything has come back normal. There is nothing to indicate that we shouldn't have a normal baby. The specialist said that the majority of the time with testing they don't find a reason for the losses and he feels that its just bad luck. When I go back to him now I am just going to check to see if there is anything else that can be tested and what I should do now. I think the IVF suggestion from the OB seemed a little extreme at this point based on the info I have to go on, don't you?

I'm glad you got your results back and I its better to see that this time was a chromosomal problem rather than another normal baby (my 3rd was a Trisomy 12). So what are you going to do now? I don't think they were ever able to give you a definite reason on why this keeps happening right?
Oh, I've asked 2 doctors now about the NK cells and they said there is not enough info on this yet to determine if this test is useful for recurring MC.

Ugh, I am just so frustrated on what to do now. If I don't start trying this month I may need to wait until April so I wouldn't be too pregnant on my trip. I don't want to have a late MC overseas.

 

[filipenko32]

Aww I'm sorry Jessie that's so frustrating!! I know there's something wrong with my body too because of my 'normal' loss. So I'm def carrying on with the treatment..

Jessie what were you told about the chances of having another trisomy loss after having one?

 

[BeachChica]

Aww I'm sorry Jessie that's so frustrating!! I know there's something wrong with my body too because of my 'normal' loss. So I'm def carrying on with the treatment..

Jessie what were you told about the chances of having another trisomy loss after having one?

They told me that they think its just a fluke since DH and I had normal chromosome karyotypes. They said sometimes during fertilization something just doesn't come together right. You and your DH were normal too right?

 

[filipenko32]

Yeah we had normal karyotypes. The woman I spoke to about it said it was random too x

 

[confusedprego]

Hi girls I haven't gotten to catch up yet but I wanted to warn you I sent whoever I'm friends with on facebook a favor! We're trying to win a photoshoot for the new baby but don't worry if you don't wanna do it - I won't be offended at all!! We're just trying to get as many "likes" as we can

 

[confusedprego]

Ok - I think I'm caught up! Thanks Rach for doin the vote for us

Jess - When I had my D&C they said that I could have it tested if I wanted to but that very often the cells taken don't "grow" and they wouldn't be able to get any information from it. They said the best chance they have it taking the tissue straight from the D&C but even then it isn't always able to be analyzed - which I don't understand. Maybe that's what happened since they let it sit around for too long?? I'm sorry they let you down!

Mel - Well maybe your steroids did work this past time and you just got really unlucky??? You think you'll try them again next time?? Did you make it further in that pregnancy than others?

AFM - this whole facebook competition has kinda let the cat out of the bag for most people but we'd love to win the photoshoot so I figured it was for a good reason lol. Plus DH is the one that wasn't comfortable with me spreading the news on facebook but is SO competitive that he was begging me to send messages to anyone I was willing to haha. He's so funny!

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls I haven't gotten to catch up yet but I wanted to warn you I sent whoever I'm friends with on facebook a favor! We're trying to win a photoshoot for the new baby but don't worry if you don't wanna do it - I won't be offended at all!! We're just trying to get as many "likes" as we can

Just voted Lindsay!!! I hope you win! That would be so awesome to have the professional pics!!!

 

[confusedprego]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it!!

 

[filipenko32]

Hiya Lindsay I would help you out but since my mc's I have avoided fb like the plague! I cannot even go on it good luck though!!

This was my worst pregnancy in terms of not getting v far. It was the only one where I saw an empty sac at 6.4 but that's prob cos it was abnormal.

 

[confusedprego]

No worries Mel!! I completely understand! DH actually got off of facebook after our miscarriage - I reactivated his account to get a video off of it but he hasn't touched it, so I completely understand!

That's frustrating! Well, maybe the steroids would have done the trick if the baby had been chromosomally normal. When are you going to start trying again or do am I right in my vague remembrance that you already are?

 

[filipenko32]

I ov next Thursday! So gonna try and catch that eggy! I'll be lucky to be pregnant before af but.. Yes then it will be steroids and the works x

 

[confusedprego]

Yay!! Well that's exciting, I have everything crossed for you hun! Can't wait for you to be pregnant again

 

[korink26]

Aww Jessie I hate that you have to worry about when to start TTC again for fear of miscarriage on your vacation. Some people are so lucky to never have to experience it....I totally agree with you that it seems a bit extreme to say that IVF should be your next step. Have you gotten to talk to your specialist yet?
Lindsay---I "liked" the link---and althought my DH does not go on his FB ever, I'll go on his facebook and like the link too! How exciting if you win! Are you getting a lot of people questioning if you're pregnant? Oh and back to the fb liking, if it's really close I'll con my sisters into going on and liking it! I'm a really competetive person too, so lets win this!!
Sam---yeahhhh for your temps! They're looking good! How are you feeling?
Eliza and Rachael---AF done? Rachael bet you're getting excited for the move. Although the "moving" process sucks, it will be exciting to get everything arranged how you want it.
Mel----yippee for OV next week!
AFM---only CD9 and got a high today on my monitor, that's a couple days earlier than normal. Good thing I decided to do the SMEP this month just in case I OV even earlier than normal. I'm sure I'll probably just get a long string of highs though, and still OV around the same time. Today I'm going to massage therapy---hope it helps my back!
Hope you're all having a great weekend girls!
