2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[gemin330]

Hi, i would like to join this group, i had a missed miscarriage in may and am on my second cycle of trying to conceive. xx

 

[gemin330]

Is anyone else having problems picking up ovulation using opks? i tested right up to cd16 and had nothing but negatives?x

 

[gemin330]

I've been very quiet for awhile but still reading up on everyone..
In my TWW going to start testing in 2 days I'm currently 7 DPO!!! Feeling abit deflated at the moment it's now been 19 months and 4 miscarriages since we started trying for number 2 (((

kezmama, i too am in the 2ww. i think i am 4 days PO...do you have any symptoms? fingers crossed that this is our month.

I've got tingling boobies, pressure in my lower tummy, headaches... Hoping this is our month baby dust to you xxxx

Kezmama- good luck in the tww! Your symptoms look positive. I hope you get your BFP!

Gemin330- welcome to our group. So sorry for your loss. Good luck to you in the tww as well. Hope you see a BFP very soon! I'm on cycle 7 since my mmc. I used opks for the first time last cycle and I never did get a positive either. I've read that some people can have a short LH surge and will miss it if they're not testing every 12 hours. I'm hoping I just missed my surge, rather then not ovulating at all. I'm debating whether to use them again this cycle.

Good luck to both of you. Kezmama - Those symptoms sound promising!

I've heard OPKs don't always work for everyone and that you have to use them twice a day in the afternoon and evening. Do you chart, or have you thought about charting? I know it doesn't help you catch O, but it can be reassuring to see that you did.

hi, first of all thank you for the reply i was starting to think i was using the site wrong lol. i had been using the opks from around day 10 up until day 17 then ran out. i had ordered more but they only arrived today and when i tested i was shocked to see a very dark positive line. i checked again just to be sure and the smae again. i got a little excited thinking that maybe it was showing positive due to pregnancy but unfortunately i tested again around 9pm (the earlier tests were about 3pm) and got a faint negative this time this has left me extremely worried as i know you ovulate around 12 hrs after a positive opk and that would put ovulation for me at cd23. i have read that late ovulation can be dangerous and lead to miscarriage as the quality of the egg and uterine linning is not as good. the more i have read the more i think this is what could have contributed to my previous miscarriage. has anyone on here had late ovulation and either received a BFP or gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

 

[gemin330]

sorry i forgot to answer your previous question crysshae. i have been attempting charting for the first time but as i dont have a set schedule (i work weird shifts) it is hard to always take temps at the same time every day. I am totally baffled with this cycle. i had ewcm on cd15 then nothing cd16 then back again on cd17 then nothing until cd21 when i got it again and nothing all day cd22 then back cd23. i had been having nausea on and off last week and last night and today i have a strange cramping/itching feeling in my uterus and bbs are sore. i wish the 2ww wasnt actually so long lol. BABY DUST TO ALL! x

Make sure you're BDing. It's my understanding you can ovulate up to 2-3 days after a positive. I don't ovulate late, but I've heard of women having healthy pregnancies with late ovulation. Hopefully someone on this thread can give you a more concrete answer. Good luck!

typical that my partner is on nightshift tonight isn't it? we bd'd late on saturday night/early sunday morning so i suppose if its going to happen it will. im worried i might have a short leutal phase as i think mt ccles are only 30 days. i think a trip to the doc is definately in order if no BFP this month. x

Thanks for the welcomes .

I'm in the TWW as well. I am 5 or 6 DPO. A few hours ago I had some vibrating twinges and I'm having some electrical "beeps" right now, which are both things I experienced during my first (and only) pregnancy, but I don't remember when that started. My cervix is also high and firm. I have no other symptoms that could indicate pregnancy, so I'm not taking these as positive signs either. It is also weird that my breasts don't hurt. Before my miscarriage my breast would grow and be tender from the day after ovulation until my period started. Last month was the first time I didn't experience any of that (this is my second cycle after the D&C) and this month I haven't felt anything either. Is that normal to change after a pregnancy and/or a miscarriage?

I hate the TWW!

Welcome Kezmama and Gemin330, I'm so sorry for each of your losses!!

wbee: Those sound like great signs!!

KarenH: I'm so glad to see you and hope everything is going well for you. I will donate soon to your blog...I'm a bit busy with work this week... This weekend I will look at it

George83: Thank you so much! How are you doing? I'm 11 dpo today, 25 day of cycle, and my AF is due on the 28th Day which is Saturday. Waiting to test on Saturday morning, not fond of squinter stories and waiting for lines to darken if indeed it's my time

I think it can be normal. Your hormones have reset and may be more in balance, lessening your PMS symptoms. Good luck!

Good luck to you too!

I hope both of your two week waits end with a no doubt about it BFP!

 

[EarthMama]

4 days until AF supposedly will show. I am exhausted and can't stop yawning 24/7, having cramping and off my food. Not reading too much into it though. Testing soon, hopefully today.

 

[Kasey84]

Good luck to those in the tww! Hoping to see news of some BFP's soon

 

[LucyLake]

Thanks Kasey84!!

Good luck EarthMama, I am due in 3 days for AF.

Wbee: I forgot to add this earlier. Breast soreness in my personal opinion is NOT always an indicator of pregnancy or viability. In fact, I had NO soreness with my son until much, much later....and certainly not during the two week wait, more like end of first tri! What I've come to know is breast soreness is a sign of AF more...and I had it with my MC for sure--it was one of my few symptoms. Now, I've decided it's not always a good one, was it for instance an early sign of the MC? That's my experience at least...

Nausea, twinges, I think these are better signs. I had nooooo symptoms except a missed AF and manageable cramps around AF with my son.

 

[gemin330]

hi just a quick update...this my third day now testing positive on an opk. could this be a sign of pregnancy? because i didnt test from day 17-dat 20 i dont know how long they have been positive. has anyone else had experience of this. still getting nausea and tiredness has kicked in. x

 

[Miniegg27]

That's how I found out I was pregnant this time. I tested with my OPK's everyday and they remained positive. Good luck.

No, I had a huge growth in breast tissue and a lot of tenderness with my first pregnancy, and then it all went away one day and that's when I went in and found that baby had passed away. Every cycle my breasts increase by one cup size and hurt a lot, so I have been baffled that they've not hurt one bit the last two cycles. I'm hoping that maybe things just changed since the MC.

I've got tingling boobies, pressure in my lower tummy, headaches... Hoping this is our month baby dust to you xxxx

Those symptoms sound really promising - I've heard lots of successful stories after getting headaches in the tww, fingers crossed for you x x
