2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[Kasey84]

Hugs to all. I finally feel like I am getting answers to why I have miscarried repeatedly. There is hope and now that I have a potential explaination I can work hard to fix the problem!

That's wonderful news! It's a step in the right direction. I hope this helps you on your way to having a rainbow baby in your arms very soon

Twinmummy it looks positive to me!

Hi lovely ladies,

I m new to these forums..

First I just want to pass on my sincere condolences to all of you who have lost precious angels (as I have) all my love, I wish us all BFP's ASAP xx

Quick intro about me for those interested - I am 28, from New Zealand and just lost my wee baby girl in Early April when I was at 20 weeks devastating is a massive understatement

I desperately want to concieve again.. And the sooner the better to be honest.. I hate this wait, I hate not knowing when I will ovulate!! (I sound like a control freak I know.. I swear I am not, haha)

I am charting with FF and the charting is helping me learn about my body and about cycles etc.. But the frustrating part is not knowing when I will ovulate (fyi, my specialist has given me the all clear to try again as everything has one so well, so I am thankful for that, waiting longer than I am already would drive me crazy I think)

Does anyone have any insight into 'ovulation after loss'? (I know everyone is different but I am curious about our thoughts, personal experiences, etc)
How long did it take some of you?

Incase anyone would like a nosey at my chart its here: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/43bc43

Any thoughts / insights / opinions would be awesome

My temps seem all over the show

I am BD-ing like CRAZY in the hopes that I may be ovulating!! It is fun and my partner is not complaining But it would be great to have an idea of what's going on!!


Anyway, that's me,

Big love to you all once again

Xx

Hi charley I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, getting to 20 weeks must have heartbreaking, I hope your doing ok and you get some positive news soon

After my mc it took about 2 or 3weeks for my tests to turn negative and I'm pretty sure I ovulated 2weeks after that, I was only 9 weeks when I mc though x x

 

[george83]

Hi everyone,

I need help!! I'm on Day 13 past AF and was SO sure I had ovulated on Day 11. I had the cramps, the discharge, but it was never TOO dramatic or white and pliable. More like white and kind of gross (could have been husband's sperm as well perhaps). Today, out of nowhere, my temperature went back up, cramps kicked in, boobs are Full and tingly, and I got a positive OPK?

Does it look positive to you as well?

What is going on in your opinion?

Could I have already o'ed, but show a positive? Also, yesterday and all this week, my tests were negative, though I had the faintest of positives I thought on cycle day 11...but they said there's no such thing as faint positives with these tests?
Could I have o'ed twice this cycle and have the twin possibility even though it's been more than 24 hours between?

I'm waiting and dying for my husband to come home at 9 to BD!!!

Hi Lucy I'm guessing you could have I'd twice - I'm sure you know that sometimes our body will get ready to ovulate but then something stops it and you go on to ovulate a couple of days later, I'd say as long as you dtd around the time of both you've probably got the best chance!! x x

 

[george83]

I am only on cd4 it seems like it should be cd 17 or so. Time goes so slowly when you are waiting.

Too true!!! I've never known time to drag so much as this damn 2ww!

 

[Miniegg27]

Could you be pregnant Lucy?? OPK'S can pick up the pregnancy hormone too. It happened to me. Keep testing and if you continue to get a line it may be your BFP. If it goes away after a few days you may have ovulated twice.

 

[twinmummy06]

Still the same this arvo. Fingers crossed this is the real deal

 

[george83]

I'm in the two week wait now. I did all I can do. Pretty excited to test on the 18th of May. could test earlier but not gonna. Maybe. Haha

I do have a feeling we did it though. Time will tell but...something feels different.

Love keeping up with you ladies. Good luck to us all!!

Good luck!! The 18th seems so long away, hoping you've got plenty to keep you busy!! x x

 

[george83]

Never used OPK's before - is this a positive ladies? Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic!

Looks good to me, fingers crossed!! x x

How are you doing miniegg after your scan? Are you beginning to relax and believe it? x x

 

[Miniegg27]

George if its the same colour or darker than the control line it's positive! Those are the ones I use!! I felt on top of the world after my scan but since that evening I've been having light brown discharge. It's eased off over the last few days but I'm going back to EPAU in the morning for a scan. I'm pertrified.

Oh no I'm so so sorry it's not bring straight forward, I'm sure you've heard no end of times that brown is good though, I'll be keeping everything crossed that it goes well

 

[Miniegg27]

Thank you hun! I'm just praying everything is ok especially after such a positive scan last Wednesday.

 

[george83]

I'm sure everything will be, it's just so scary after last time

 

[Raggydoll]

Hi Charly, I'm sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group. I hope you get your rainbow very soon.

Lucylake and twin mummy, looks like you both had a positive OPK.

Good luck to everyone in the 2ww. I think I'm there now. I finally got a positive OPK on Friday.

Mini egg, I'm sorry about the discharge. Pregnancy must be a lot harder after a loss. Good luck with your scan.

 

[LucyLake]

Raggydoll, I stood up and cheered when I read about your positive opk! I'm so hopeful this is our month and it sounds like our due dates will be very similar if it is! . I'm also really grateful because it looks like with my positive opk, I o'ed more like day 13, a bit more normal. It's all because of the Vitex Chaste Berry since I spotted day 7 and 8 after AF which has NEVER happened, my limit is day 6 thank you SO much!!

Miniegg27, I know this must be really scary . I've always believed though that many if not all of us will spot with our rainbow...it's almost a normal symptom to me now. I know it's terrifying, but the fact that you had a hb is such a positive. You're 90% likely to carry that sweet baby to term. I know so many of us never saw a heartbeat. Good luck and thanks for all your help

How are you doing lately George83? Thanks for your kind words and help

Good luck GalvanBaby, I'm sure your AF is not far off and that's awesome you got to 0!

TwinMummy06, so hoping we can be bump buddies!! Looks like a nice positive!!

EarthMama...so excited for you!! I'm also holding out to test as long as possible! Thinking maybe May 21 if I can hold out.

Husband and I DTD all but day 9 starting day 8. He came home last night and I practically ripped off his clothes! I'm a little cray cray with this whole opk/charting thing. Trying to just believe it was enough and we'll bd tonight and then slowly move to smep. My temp is still high this morning, but I'm trying not to have huge expectations.

 

[LucyLake]

Lovely ladies waiting to test or pregnant with rainbows:

Are you being really proactive and already asking your OB about progesterone, baby aspirin, early hgc level testing and scans...just in case?

I feel like I want to be proactive just in case we got lucky, but don't know how far to go.

Charly28, welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss Hun. I had a MMC at 14 weeks in December. Devastating is definitely a massive understatement! Big hugs to you I hope you find this group to be as comforting and supportive as I have. I wish you all the best as you start your ttc journey again. Sending you lots of baby dust

GalvanBaby, I hope your AF arrives soon so you can start ttc! Lots of baby dust to you as we'll

Miniegg27, I hope your scan goes well. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way

Good Luck to all those in the TWW!! I hope this is your month for a BFP

LucyLake, when I get my BFP, I will be seeing my GP straight away and requesting an early scan! Your OPK looked positive. I'm so excited for you and hope you get a BFP

Misscalais: So sorry for your loss and that you are back again.

Awesomesauce: I totally agree, the first period after mc is horrible. So sorry you are having a hard time. Hopefully you can get your sticky bfp soon. I am glad that you are finding a good place to be emotionally.

GalvanBaby: I am glad you are getting ready to ttc again. Are you doing another round of injectables?

Nimyra: Sorry your Dad blindsided you like that. A warning really would have been nice.

Charly28: I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to get your rainbow baby soon.

LucyLake: There isn’t such a thing as a faint positive OPK. In order for it to be positive the test line has to be as dark as or darker than the control line. I would recommend getting the clear blue digital tests. There is no question as to a negative or positive. It takes so much of the stress out of it.

Earthmama: Good luck in your tww. I hope this is it for you.

Raggydoll: Good luck in your tww as well. When do you test?

AFM: I got my positive OPK early Thursday morning. I have my ultrasound 3 pm that afternoon and a blood LH done. I have a beautiful 22mm follicle and confirmed positive LH. My iui was Friday morning at 1015. Now just trying not so get my hopes up too high and bide my time until my BHCG on the 15th.

Good luck today miniegg hoping everything's ok for you x x
