2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[LucyLake]

I would like to join you ladies please. DH and I have been trying for just over 6 years. We finally got our first BFP Jan 2nd. Baby's due date was Sep 10th. It turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy and I had to have methotrexate to terminate on January 28th. I had weekly blood tests to follow my HCG drop. It was finally negative March 12th. I have goetten my period but my RE wants me to wait another month to start trying. I will take Femara April 19-23 and then my mis cycle U/S is May 2nd. Most likely IUI on May 4th and Beta May 15th.

I'm sorry for your loss and welcome Karenh. Prayers for you to get your rainbow soon

Hi ladies, hope you are all well. Kasey I'm really sorry the got you.

I've had a few days break. I went to watch Olly Murs yesterday. I had been kind of dreading it since the MC as in my head I'd prepared to be 18 weeks pregnant when I went.
I really enjoyed myself though and feel nice and relaxed today.

Welcome to all the new ladies.

I finally stopped bleeding at the end of last week. It was just over 5 weeks post ERPC and 6 since my MC started. I've posted my first ov test in the test section. I'm trying to decide if its positive.

Sending you all lots of baby dust.

Hi Raggydoll, great to see a familiar face back here and just very happy to hear you think you had a positive OPK and bleeding stopped. Huge hugs and baby dust

Thanks Lucy.

How are you getting on?

Hi ladies, nice to meet you Karen! My sis in law had an ectopic...It's an amazing story actually, I'd like to share it with you:

My Milagros is a year old today and we named her Milagros because she is a true miracle! I was on birth control when I found out I was pregnant with her. 2 days later I went into the ER with lots of pain on my side, and after test after test, and ultrasounds, they said I had an ectopic pregnancy. There was no baby in my uterus,the baby was in my Fallopian tube. I had to be rushed right away into surgery. The Doctor came and told me how they where going to take the baby out, basically crush it and suck it out of my Fallopian tubes. He said it like if he was talking about nothing! It broke my heart to know they where going to do that to my baby! I called everyone, friends and family and no one would answer!! Right when they came to get me to take me into surgery my mother in law called me. We started praying asking God to some how save the baby. I had her on speaker, the doctor and nurse looked at me like I was stupid while we were praying. We left everything in Gods hands I remember them taking me into surgery, telling me to count to 10 then I passed out. It felt like I had blinked and then I woke up. I could hear my doctor saying, "you're not going to believe this! You're still pregnant! What was in you're Fallopian tubes was a cyst and it was twisted and looked like a baby!" I cried and cried I knew God was listening! After my surgery my doctor did an ultrasound and once again no baby! But on my blood test for hcg, levels were going up every day like a normal pregnancy! We prayed and prayed for 3 weeks. After ultrasound and blood tests over and over again, finally my doctor called me and told me she was doing one last ultrasound. I went into the hospital crying and praying but with lots of faith. As soon as they started the ultrasound there she was!Miracles do happen =)
I hope maybe this story was inspiring to all of you. My little neice never ceases to amaze me!

They never did find my baby. The believe it was in my abdomin. I prayed and prayed and still no baby in my uterus four weeks later. I had no choice but to take the methotrexate. The doctors we afraid for my life.

oh hon I wasnt trying to say you or your drs made a mistake. I just wanted to share her amazing story because i found it so inspiring after my MC to remember that God can make anything happen, even in hopeless situations. And believe me, I feel incredibly hopeless. But hearing her story again on Mili's birthday reminded me that miracles do happen =) Good luck ttc again =) Your waiting until May right?

How are you getting on?

I'm okay Raggydoll, just waiting, waiting, waiting lol. Hope you're doing well and that your wait isn't too much longer. It sounds like you o'ed!!

 

[Misscalais]

Hi girls,
How is everyone?
So I'm 30 DPMC and around 12-13DPO, ( I only checked CP and CM for ovulation, no OPKs ) so I don't know if I actually o'ed or not. AF should arrive either tomorrow or the next day if not ill be testing to see if I get BFP.
Only symptoms I've had are peeing lots at night for the last two days.

Makes sense- Better to know it's out of your system! Ooo birthday bding fx for you!

Right! Have you checked Amazon? You can sometimes get some good deals.

 

[Peacenik]

She's right, they have great prices on both HPT and OPKs. I think I got the wondfo brand and they worked fine and are really reasonable. I think I paid like $11 for 25 HPT.

 

[tlk71411]

I bought the 50 wondfo hpt on amazon for $15.

So I stopped bleeding yesterday and got a positive opk this am.... I'm not sure that's right?

I posted this on another thread, but I'll do it here too. I thought this site does a great job of explaining the difference between an OPK and a HPT
https://www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html

It sounds like you may have an positive OPK from leftover HCG:

"An OPK will turn positive when it detects either of the "identical twins"-- ovulation or pregnancy hormone."

 

[Neverending]

Thanks guys actually didn't test today waiting till tomorrow was to tired to wait lol if I get af this month I will check amazon out. I ovulated almost at the same time I stopped bleeding the following week I stopped bleeding on the 12th at like 10pm and then ovulated the 17th and almost that same time! I got the walgreens brand they wanted $25 for first responce I was like what?!?!?! So hoping I'm pregnany but ready to try again next month if not I know ill be sad seeing a bfn though!!!

 

[twinmummy06]

All this hcg talk got me curious as to how mine was going. Faint positive with cheapie, but easily seen. Feels odd actually wanting to see that line fade, rather than obssessing over the opposite.

 

[tlk71411]

I know what you mean twinmummy I'm taking an hpt tonight to see if it's negative yet since I got a positive opk this am.

 

[Cryssie]

Hey ladies. I hope everyone else is having a good night. I woke up this am with the witch. . All over me and the bed (sorry tmi). I'm happy she finally came! And i suppose we're not waiting. . Hubby hasn't pulled out our last two times and when i asked him he said whatever will happen will happen.

 

[Neverending]

Took a hpt of course the control line didn't come up did a cervix check for blood there wasn't any went to the bathroom about an hour later and I was spotting pink since so I out a tampon in thinking af came no cramps!! Boobs are still hurting and tingly of course not all the time sound gross but want to change my tampon soon to see what happening. Either way its been 17 days since I stopped bleeding and ten since I ovualted. Stupid horoscope said tomorrow is a lucky day.... only thing good happening tomorrow is OH has the day off and the new season of doctor who starts!!! Excited to try in april!
