1st m/c January, 2nd m/c May, still trying for 3rd BFP

I completely understand both you not wanting to tell anyone plus your anxieties-I will be exactly the same-but so would 100% of women in our shoes!! I've even told my oh I can't go to the same place where I had the first scan, even if it means us travelling miles!

I'm praying next Friday goes well for you, just remember the hundreds of women who were once in yiur shoes and are now holding their lo's!! :-)

Not to dwell on the past, but did you have blighted ovums?

So with the baby asprin, there is conflicting stories on when to take it, some say from ov-af which is what I did. Also were your af's heavier with baby aspirin? Thank you :-) x
 
Thank you Mrs for the info on aspirin. I know the anxiety about telling anyone. It's nice to have that secret between you and your DH <3

A1983 ~ Where are you in your cycle?

Bazz ~ Enjoying your massage? :cloud9:

Manny ~ Hope you and :baby: are well!
 
Day 3 of af (ov day 15 so 12 more to go!) x
 
Sorry Mrs NJR, just re-read your post re scans. My scan just showed an empty black sac, or my baby's home as I prefer to think of it x Ok so sounds like you took BA throughout the whole cycle? This didn't ever interfere with ov? Many women have said it does so start it after ov...

Anyways you fell pregnant quickly, this will be my 3rd month ttc coming up (first time took 4 months) so I'll keep praying for all our little miracles :-) xx
 
I know! My first af after mmc came 9dpo! And I'd ovulated about 33 days after mmc. Then after that af I ovulated and had af as normal-day 15 for ov and 16dpo for af, same this month. So now onto the second half of the battle-getting a bfp!! And praying it sticks x
 
A1983 :dust:

I just had my second AF and am still not straight. I'm hoping things righted themselves this cycle...
 
Massage was great thanks :)

I'm still waiting for my af it's been about 33 days sInce my mc
How we all get straightened out soon so we can get our rainbows!!
 
1983 - my first pregnancy was a blighted ovum, we were scanned at 6 weeks as they suspected ectopic due to some severe pains I'd been having. But scan showed it was not ectopic, but no h/b etc, but we were told it was just too early. So we actually went away reassured as we'd seen it in the right place, and at that time our main concern was that it may have been ectopic. They wanted to see me again in 2 weeks, so at 8 weeks gestation. And it was at this scan that we were told there was a problem. I went to theatre 2 days later for evacuation.

Second pregnancy was completely different - this time I'd been poorly at about 6 weeks with diarrhoea, horrendous diarrhoea, like I'd never experience in my life! I must have been going about 20 times a day, belly just churning all day and gurgling every time I ate or drank anything. I spoke to GP who said try not to worry, keep eating and drinking etc. 3 days later I saw GP coz no better and still GP was happy, I was keeping myself hydrated and BP was ok etc. Then about day 6 this subsided and I felt a bit better, and day 7 I started bleeding! And then nature took its course, and I miscarried spontaneously. I was scanned during all of this, and we did see a yolk sac inside the gestational sac, which was more that we'd had the first time, but by then we already knew that HSG was falling and I was going to m/c.

I felt a bit comforted by the fact that things were different from the first time, and that we did have a bit more progress even if things had gone wrong again. If exactly the same thing had happened again I would have wondered if we ever COULD get any further.

They tell me that this is just purely bad luck, and that the two things are not related, and there is no reason why it should happen for a third time. But as u can imagine we won't be happy till we see something positive on our first scan on Friday.

As for the aspirin, I was told to start when AF started after my last m/c and I've taken it right through since then. I had not heard that it could affect ovulation, and it certainly didn't affect mine.

In terms of AF, I'd come off the pill about a year ago before we started to TTC, and let myself get regular again. At this point my cycle was about 24 days, ovulating on day 10 or 11, and I felt it clearly every month. Never done any temping or OPKs, I just felt it each month so never felt the need to do anything more. I got pregnant 2nd month of trying. After my evacuation in January it took 7 weeks before I had another period. Afterwards my cycle got settled again, but I'd gone to having a 28 day cycle, ovulating on day 14. Again I was pregnant 2nd month of trying.

I think because it was more natural with miscarrying spontaneously the second time, my body got back to normal much more quickly, and a couple of weeks later I was having my next period. That's when I started aspirin.

Again my cycles were 28 days, ov on day 14, I wouldn't say heavier than normal (although I'd only had about 4 in the whole time since I'd been off the pill due to rest of time being pregnant or miscarrying! So hard really to compare to "normal") but this time it took longer to get pregnant, which was frustrating because I'd been pregnant really quickly both times before. September was the 4th month I'd tried, which I know is not long, but its nearly a year from starting to TTC, so was starting to get me down. That's when I started this thread, and to my delight got my BFP a couple of weeks later. I'll be 6 weeks on Monday....

It sure is a roller coaster ride!

I don't know about u, but when this happened to me for the first time I realised just how many people this affects. So many people I know told me that the same had happened to them, or their friends, or family members. And their stories made me feel better as out of all of them only one person is still waiting to have their first baby, all of the others have their families now and it all just feels like a blip they had a long time ago, rather than feeling like the huge loss that it feels to all of us at this time.
 
Hi LAdies - sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I've had family staying and also have had quite bad MS so I've been taking it easy. Right now I'm on the couch watching telly which is definitely better than being in the office. I find it hard to eat but feel a million times better after eating so I'm just taking it one meal at a time.

A1983 - welcome to our little thread. Sorry for your losses but I sure do hope you get a nice healthy BFP soon (same for xoxoangel and bazz) so we can all go through this time together! RE baby aspirin - my Dr strongly recommends taking one a day right up to week 36 which is what I'm doing. He's also prescribed progesterone until week 12 so hopefully between the two, things will work out.

Bazz - any sign of AF yet? Are you still DTD? Lets hope you get back to normal quickly.

Angel, any ideas when IUI will be?

MrsNJR eeeekkkk its scan week for you! How exciting! What day is it?
 
no sign of AF for me, did have a little pink in my discharge last night but it was really really light and didnt turn to anything!! i hate the waiting game...

Sorry your havig MS but hey if it means a healthy bean its worth it right :)
relax and enjoy the couch!
 
Mrs :hugs: Is your scan the 26th?

Manny ~ oh boy MS not fun and makes eating quite the challenge. Hope your family was a comfort.

Bazz ~ pink spotting, like maybe IB? If not, come on AF! The one time in your life you welcome her!

I went today to Dr. I was wrong with my CD (I thought CD10, Dr thinks CD 7) so quite possibly won't need IUI! The scan and bloodwork show I'm still in early follicular phase, so my follie that is only 11 in size gets more time. With DH coming home Friday, God willing, maybe we get to make a homecoming baby! Fx!
 
Angel- glad you probably wont need an IUI, i will cross my fingers for you!

I havent seen any pink since! and no cramps no nothing.. maybe it was just left over blood i have no idea!

Hope everyone else is well! Mrs cant wait til your scan friday X
 
Bazz it's a horrible waiting game isn't it? As angel said its the only time in this process that u would actually welcome AF, coz at least then u would know where u were at!

And angel sounds good for ur timings this month.... You two could be on for the double this month like me and Manny last month!

Manny sorry to hear u have been feeling poorly, as so done else said though it must be nice in a way as its reinforcing it to you that things are moving along well!

As for me, yes scan is this Friday! Can't believe its finally here! It's nearly 1am now, so once I sleep tonight it will only be 2 more sleeps away....!

I've felt quite nauseous for last few days, and this morning..... I puked!! I was (strangely) made up to be throwing up, lol! I text hubby at work to tell him, lol

I am feeling hopeful, very emotional, I cry every time we talk about Friday. My MIL is having treatment for breast cancer and her last radiotherapy session is tomorrow and so she wants us all to go out for dinner at the weekend. So all being well it wil be a double celebration for us all. We have not even given them an inkling that I am pregnant again, so it will be fab to be able to tell them that we've had positive news!

I am off work this week for half term, so all timings worked out nicely, and can have a bit of a laid back week. Roll on Friday!! Xxx
 
Hi ladies

Manny how are you hun? Hope the MS is a little better.

Angel- hows everything going with you?

1983- i hope your AF is over so you can get to Baby dancing :sex:

Mrs- I totally underdstand being scared for friday. I will say a prayer for you, both you and your hubby deserve this so bad!! It would be great to have some good news to share with your family over the weekend.

AFM I was sure I was either ovulating or about too yesterday so I took a OPK and it was negative. So silly me decided to dip a preggo test in the same urine (just cuz i am a POAS addict lol) Anyways I was sure if i titled my screen i saw a faint line, im sure its just line eye and wishful thinking though:dohh:.. i don’t even think i o'd yet but what do i know lol
I posted it in the pregnancy test section feel free to take a look:)
 
BAZZ!!! I can definitely see a line on that. I don't think its line eyes at all! It also fits in with the spotting you had a couple of days ago and I'm sure if I remember correctly, you had positive OPKS as your HPT went negative which was probably about 2 weeks ago wasn't it? I think you need to do a FRER with FMU ASAP! How exciting!!!

Let us know what happens!
 
thanks manny!!
postive opk was two weeks ago today i think... which means i would have ovulated by the friday at the latest which would have meant i was around 11 dpo last night, shoudnt it have been a definate postive by then? I did only have a two hour hold though.
 
Bass I see it too! My 1st test I did at 10 DPO, so only a day before where u could be now, and mine was very very faint, so I don't necessarily think it would be a "definite positive" on day 11. I managed to hold back for three days after my first test, coz I wanted to see something much more certain, not another day of "is it there, or isn't it there?" And three days later I had a whopping big line that there was no doubt about.

Fingers crossed for u, this thread seems to be a lucky one so far.... Xxx
 
I hope you are right! im going to try and wait until the weekend! I will keep you guys posted though
thanks ladies!
 
How exciting Bazz!! Were you actively trying or waiting fir af to arrive first?!

Can I ask you ladies something, and please be honest (I'm sorry to put a downer on a day of positive postings!) I'm feeling really anxious around ttc...it's on my mind all the time and I wake up feeling nervous. I am trying to keep myself distracted which does help but as soon as I have 'thinking time' I go right back to baby brain. I'm obsessing about the month I got my bfp, trying to replicate what I did in terms of bding and also trying to remember if I was less stressed....as by me feeling stressed I'm worried this will affect me getting my bfp again. I know I said above it's normal to stress...but actually getting down to it...did you/do you ladies think about it most of the time? Get/got stressed? I got stessed today as realised my oh and I weren't able to bd on one of the vital days this month due to work (although I've managed to sort that now!), but it's almost as if I cant help but look for problems or worry incessantly that I'm not going to see those 2 blue lines again!!! :-\ Were/are you ladies anything like this? xx
