42.3 and trying for #4

[maxxiandniko]

Spoke too soon. I had some pink spotting when I wiped last night right before I went to bed. I took out my pregnancy test, tried very hard to pee in a cup and negative. No spotting this morning but now it's just a waiting game. I am super bummed right now. I guess it's back to cd 1 tomorrow.

Sorry to read this Maxxi, it's hard to get your head around as to why TTC is so difficult esp when you hear of people falling unplanned so easily.

Stay positive and don't give up on your baby dream.

Here's an abundant of baby dust, it will happen :

 

[fandabby]

Just a quick update from me:

I'm away on holiday from tomorrow for a week. Pulling kids from school and that plan was because of being high risk it's take them now or it probably won't happen. I arranged my consultant appointment for yesterday with the thinking I would see him again early June. Didn't work out. My antibodies have risen two times, they double in numbers and mine have doubled twice which is a red flag. He then performed his MCA doppler and 3 weeks ago I was sitting low on graph yesterday high up on border line so everyone went into overdrive. I now have to travel from North Yorkshire coast next Wednesday morning to head back to the Bham Fetal Medicine Clinic for further consult and then back to my Consultant following day. Leaving kids up North and taking two days to get this all checked out. Bit of a nightmare as didn't expect this, thought I'd get to over 30 weeks before having issues.

Prognosis depends on if MCA has risen again by Wednesday and if it has the baby will need an intrauterine blood transfusion which put me in panic mode as it all carries risks.

I'm staying positive and intenting like mad that levels come down to a safe and stable level and they happy just to up the monitoring.

Watch this space.


Stay well everyone and hope to read about some BFPs from you soon.

All sounds very daunting and scary, so well done you for staying so positive. All my thoughts will be with you and your bump on Wednesday and Thursday.

Big hugs Hun xxx

 

[charlie15]

Maxiandnico sorry for bfn

 

[fandabby]

Thanks Charlie, is daunting but nothing I can do but go with what happens. Just bummed too leaving kids for two days. Needed the holiday but at least I get a few days b4 it goes crazy again.

How u doing?

 

[charlie15]

It is not the greatest timing for sure. But you look after yourself too.

I'm doing ok thanks. Will start TTC again in june for sure. If I get very strong fertile signs then will go for it next week.

 

[2plus1more]

Sorry to hear about your complications Fandabby. Sending you positive thoughts for your wheel being, your little one, and your family.

Sorry Maaxi for the spotting. Hope you get that BFP soon.

AFM, AF started a couple days ago. I decided to try OPKs in addition to the temping. Even though my cycles are regular, my period flow has not been, which is not normal for me. First month was incredibly light, this month as been much more heavy. Hopefully my body is readjusting after the IUD. Putting TTC aside, I really regret the IUD, based on other issues so I'm very happy it's out!!!

 

[maxxiandniko]

Will be waiting for an update Fanda.
Charlie -glad you're feeling better.
Hi to everyone else.
As for me CD1 today. I'm so irritable and cranky and throwing a pity party for myself . PMS is supposed to stop when you get your period isn't it ha ha? I also have a sore throat which feels like something is piercing my throat every time I swallow. Anyway sometimes I feel like giving up. I know bfn's shouldn't be a big surprise but they hurt more every month. This cycle felt very promising. In fact I'm still looking pregnant with the way my stomach is bloated! I don't know anything about what my normal cycle is since I was on birth control for most of my life, came off and got pregnant right away and then spent the next four years either getting pregnant and miscarrying or getting pregnant and delivering with ivf. So I read into everything. I just feel so hopeless at times. I'm not sure what to do anymore. I don't want to give up the little I am doing but I don't know if it's better to keep saying it will happen or start trying to visualize my life without the third and if I get a third it'll be a happy surprise. Sorry for totally ruining everyone's Sunday

Oh Maxxi don't feel bad about venting! That's why we are all here! It's such an emotional roller coaster, and we all feel it girl! hang in there, stay positive and count your blessings!
Fandaby, sorry you are going through these issues, sending you nothing but good vibes for a positive turnout! I am keeping on with my mediatation and crystals, how do I cleanse and charge them?
Hi Charlie, welcome back! Whatever you decide, this cycle or June, follow your heart and what feels right for you!
2plusonemore, sounds like your body is adjusting to getting the iud out for sure. Our bodies are crazy, but they are very smart! We(ME INCLUDED lol) need to learn to trust them more i think!
AFM, I start injections for IUI #2 next Wed. Been a bit crazy here lately, work stuff, family stuff...Never ends but I carry on! Still on my supplements but will be tweaking them towards the end of the week. I can't remember who said earlier about rattling from taking so many but YEP that made me laugh!
Take care ladies, many blessings and welcome to our new friend Sunshine 14! This is a great group of ladies. to us all!!!!

 

[charlie15]

Ooh exciting ClaireCath fingers crossed for cycle number 2!

Fandabby thinking of you, hope you have got good news xx

Maxxi, vent away. TTC is hard work for us ladies and a big roller coaster ride. Try to stay positive Hun, it will happen. Sorry if you have said but are you going for IVF soon?

AFM I am in fertile zone now but have decided to wait until next month. I am just getting into my running groove again and for the first time since I was pregnant with Sophia! I have also been taking some supplements since the start of April, so want to give myself another month of running and supplements as I have read I takes about 3 months for the supplements to make any difference. Also if my predictions are correct I should be ovulating in June when we are on annual leave which makes it that much easier

I'm hoping you are right about my body. It can just be unnerving when something changes on you and it takes you by surprise. I never expected my cycle to suddenly change.

I think Sunshine may have said she's rattling. I recently added red raspberry leaf tea, B6, vit e, vit d, iron, and 100% pomegranate juice. Oh and lots of sex and orgasms to get the blood flowing to my pelvic area!

Good luck with your IUI. Update as you can.

 

[fandabby]

Hi ladies

Back from trip, I did try and update whilst away but it didnt work.

2plus1more - certainly sounds like ur adjusting. I have read somewhere that having a good bleed with a period is higher fertility than short scanty bleeds. Fingers crossed for you this is your body balancing after the IUD. Good luck.

Maxxi, sorry to read you're feeling outofsorts. It certainly tests us TTC. Stay positive and try and do something which can help u offload stresses. I find yoga and meditation chills me out when feeling highly strung. Keep smiling and hang onto your dream.

ClaireCath, good luck with this cycle. To cleanse and charge I have a document I can send you which I put together sometime ago. PM your email and I will send it over. Hoping your work will pay off and you get your positive.

Charlie, can't wait to get back into my running, helps relax the mind and you can think things through, plus the bonus of burning all those calories. Best of luck for next month, go with what feels right for you.

Lots of baby dust to all you lovely ladies.

My update, scan showed no change in doppler but good it didnt rise anymore. I'm on weekly scans and bloods now. They have told me to prepare to deliver anytime now, it's unknown and going on whatever they find each week. They hope I get to 37 wks when they want to induce me. They mentioned blood transfusion but if levels spike too much which they can go through roof click of fingers it will be safer to get babe out and treat. So I go Thurs again and will be hoping everything will be fine and stay same or reduce so I can get to 37. I am huge too, I stayed fairly small and now last two weeks it's like urgh where's that come from. Going to enjoy it while I can.


Keep us all updated and remember think being pregnant already.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post properly yet - just been dealing with my third chemical in a row since December (great!) and we are moving from Ireland back to London in 10 days so am CRAZY at the mo trying to make sure everything is packed and cleaned whilst dealing with 3 LO's!!
Glad to hear things were okish for you though fandabby. You all sound like such lovely ladies and thanks again for making me feel welcome and sorry to be so crap! (Big smiles)

Think in must have missed you when I went AWOL! Welcome but sorry to hear about your 3rd chemical

Good luck with your move, sounds very full on!

 

[charlie15]

Fandabby, have been eager to hear from you, so I am glad it is good news that things at least remained the same and no worse. Lots of positive thinking each week for baby to stay put. Can I ask at what gestational age were your other children when they were born?

Thanks Charlie.

I delivered 38+4, 38+3 and 34.

First two were boys and third girl. Boys were unaffected but lady was hence being delivered early. This one going same way so maybe it's a girl again.

Yes lots of positive thinking, I'm intenting 37 deliver which is when they want to induce me if all good.

9 weeks and counting down....

Take care Charlie....

Thanks hun. Lots of sex and orgasms is always a good thing! lol
So we are On to IUI#2. First scan yesterday showed 7 follies hanging out. Started my puregon last night. I actually gave the shot to myself this time and it was honestly no big deal, the needle went in like Butter. lol DH said something this morning to me that made sense. Babe, if we just stop worrying and thinking about it so much it will happen. He's so sweet. lol But hard to not think about it when you are jabbing yourself every night and getting the "dildo cam" every third day!!

Thanks Fandaby, I actually found some info on line and have cleansed the crystals and they are warming in the hot sun right now! I will give you my email anyway in case i fall off this thread which happens. Are you on facebook at all? I find that a great way to chat and stay in touch with all my peeps all over the world.
Glad your scans showed now change or rise in numbers, I am sending tons of positive vibes for you for the babe to hang out for another 9 weeks! I know you have the chill/meditation stuff down pat so that should help you! I have been doing mine as well, I found a great program called Circle and Bloom and the daily mediations are geared specifically for IUI/IVF on the one I have. I love it. Calms me right the hell down. lol So here's hoping my 7 little follies from scan #1 will turn into great things for us here! 7 is my lucky number so I am pretty sure that's a good sign! Stay well friend.
