2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[Peacenik]

I have started my injections. I am exhausted because we have to do them so late and get up for work so early. I am just really hoping they work this time.

How is everyone else?

How is everyone else?

I'm officially in the TWW. 7 DPO and imaging symptoms like a mad woman.

AwesomeSauce, Raggydoll, Mowat and George83 congrats again.

Karen and the rest of you, hang in there.

Lucy- good to see you again and good luck!

I am doing ok. I am anxiously awaiting thursday's ultrasound. I think at it will reveal a lot. If there is a heartbeat I might allow myself to have some hope that this is a rainbow and not a continued storm.

Only two days away! You can make it!

Thank you for your well-wishes everyone. Nimyra, you always know how to make me smile. Raggydoll, you've been such an inspiration to me on this journey as well.

Does anyone know where I can buy Clear Blue Easy Smiley Face OPK's cheaply? I went to CVS and thought the $50 price tag for 10 tests was a little insane and they don't sell them at my grocery store HEB....

Kasey84: Huge hugs. Sometimes, missing a month of trying can be just as hard as trying and not falling pregnant. I too cannot go to a baby shower. Luckily, my friend who lives 9 hours away is having one that was easy to say no to!!

KatS: Awesome and can't wait to hear you got your

AwesomeSauce: Wishing you lots of at your appointment. I think this is it for you!!

KarenH: So excited for you!! I just know this will be the month for you!!

Nimyra: How are you doing? Thanks for reminding me, really needed to hear it. Yesterday, I was admittedly a bit down. Couldn't help but think how many more of our children do we have to lose? Newtown kids, my baby, all of your babies, these poor kids in Moore, OK with NO basements!! We have the same problem here in Texas where the F5 Jarrell tornado happened 21 minutes from my house and killed two entire families who were very well known in the community

Raggydoll: How are the early days going so far? Thank you for being here with us and sharing so much.

Mowat: Hope everything is looking good for you this week. Huge hugs as you head to your scan.

George83: Prayers and hugs.

Peacenik: Awesome!!! Super excited for you and hope you get your

Earthmama, Sedgeez, Neverending, Miniegg, Cryssie, GalvanBaby, GreenerGrass, GrassGreener, and so many others: How are you guys doing these days?

You can always check amazon, they have good deals. Here is one: https://www.amazon.com/Clearblue-Digital-Ovulation-Test-Count/dp/B002VLYAOI/ref=pd_sim_hpc_1

I get mine at walmart. I didn't think about amazon before I got them and they have lasted me a while.

Lucy,

I bought some at Target for about $42/box. That was cheaper than I was seeing on Amazon at the time. Always go for the box with 20 sticks in it, because it can last 2 months if you aren't testing 4x a day like me... lol.

You can go to Target's website and see if they have them in stock in your local store, and if not, I think shipping is free if you buy 2 boxes. I went and stocked up on the principle that if I buy 3 months' supply then I'll get pregnant and won't need them.

Anxiously awaiting testing day, but trying not to symptom spot. I'm always wrong when I try to guess anyway.

 

[Kasey84]

Lucy, I'm so sorry AF showed. You've been a constant source of support on here. Sending you lots of for your next cycle.

George, I totally understand how you are feeling. Now the intial euphoria of the BFP has worn off, i've been in a state of panic since. It's the not knowing what went wrong last time.
I hope your scan goes well Friday. x

Mowat, good luck with your bloods, how far along are you?

Kat, good luck with TWW, I'm glad your sample results were so high. Sending you lots of for this cycle.

Thank you for the congratulations Kasey. I hope you get your BFP soon.
I can totally understand that you are struggling with your BF's baby shower. Does your BF know about your MC? Would she understand if you didn't go. Maybe you can do something together at a later date?

Awesome, Nimyra, Miniegg, Earthmama and Karen how are you all doing?

Thank you Raggydoll. My friend does know about my MC. I would like to think she'd understand if I can't go, but when she invited me she didn't acknowledge that it might be hard for me or say she would understand if I could go...so I'm not sure how she'll react. I think I'll just see how I feel when it's gets closer and if I can't do it, I won't go. Hopefully she'll understand.

I hope your feeling well! I understand why you'd feel nervous. I sending lots of positive thoughts your way

 

[Kasey84]

Peacenik, good luck in the TWW! Hope you get your BFP soon

Karen, I hope your injections work! My fingers are crossed for you

Thank you!! Good luck and wishing you a very healthy, normal pregnancy!

YES, that's exactly it. If I do find myself pregnant, I will also be in a panic because we never did exactly find out what happened to my baby. All tests came back normal. The doc theorized that my slight double uterus might have been to blame. So I totally understand how you feel!! I hope that feeling does go away.

 

[Cryssie]

I've been mia lol. I'm currently 3dpo this cycle. But i have a great feeling about this one!

 

[mowat]

Did another blood test this morning and my levels quadrupled again! I'm about 16dpo and hcg was 830. Taking this as a good sign as with my last miscarriage I was just doubling in 76 hours. Finally got an appointment booked for Thursday. Hoping for an early scan---please!

That is awesome! I hope you can get an early scan it it showes some great things! Are you thinking it could possibly be twins?

 

[AwesomeSauce]

These are encouraging numbers mowat!

It kind of ticks me off that I bought a cb easy fertility monitor and started using it for what I thought was my first cycle after mc...but I was actually pregnant and bleeding. That was a lot of money down the drain.

 

[mowat]

I keep telling my DH that it's twins---not sure if he believes me.

I know what you mean about the money Awesome, I just loaded up on tests before I got my BFP. Really hoping I won't need them again.

Hello Ladies,

I've just gone through a natural miscarriage, passed the baby on Monday, bleeding seems to be coming to a stop already and my doctor herself told us to try as soon as we felt emotionally able.

I'm so scared we're going to keep getting BFN's and I need hope like you wouldn't believe. Reading all your stories has helped me SO much already. But I thought it would be a good idea to update the first page with not only TTC months but also with BFP's. I know it's helped me to read other people's BFP's.

Sending you all lots of baby dust and strength to carry on a fight back xxxxxx

10dpo and feeling like AF is on her way. Discouraged

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I hope your period returns faster than mine did after my m/c! to you!!

I feel the same way about fears of either BFNs or continued m/cs in my future. Coming here and seeing that some women do go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies is so helpful. I hope you are one of them!

Lots of women don't feel any symptoms during the TWW, then think they feel AF coming on, yet it turns out they are pregnant. I hope that is the case for you!! Fingers crossed!
