42.3 and trying for #4

[ClaireCath]

What a precious little peanut!!! And already doing 'selfies' with Mom!! Very beautiful
Charlie~~ yep, a bit grueling at times. lol i let him off the hook this morning but hopefully between the two rounds we got in, some swimmers are hanging around. I go for my lap next week anyway and am still a bit concerned about being 8dpo when they do it. I know they'll do a blood test but what if there's a little blast coming down the tube at the time? I am over thinking it for sure.
Sunshine~~ how are things with you?

Thanks dear.

I think I would be concerned too knowing you are in early 2ww and having the procedure done around 8dpo. Not sure if that is far enough along to pick up in a blood test. Have you spoken to your consultant about your fears and the what if you are pregnant and have this procedure how it will affect the outcome of the early pregnancy? If not I would for sure have that conversation otherwise you are just going to worry yourself to pieces.

Good luck with how you proceed dear, be thinking of you.

 

[fandabby]

Ahhhh fandabby she is just beautiful! What a perfect little baby

And you look like a beautiful very happy momma how are you feeling?

Sunshine how are you doing?

Hey Charlie, thanks. I'm feeling surprising well, very sore still undercarriage but it is starting to heal now. Think cause I was on Iron for so long through pregnancy and still on Iron that has helped too.

I am certainly sitting on and my older 3 adore Mistique and constantly can we hold babes, bless them.

How are you doing?

 

[Sunshine14]

Fandabby she is gorgeous x little sweetie pie you must be a very proud mummy! That is great also that you are healing well x take it easy and enjoy first few weeks they fly by so quickly - precious times!!

Thanks for your concern ladies heading for 2 weeks now since no hb and no sign of bleeding or anything so I may ring them to get another scan and get some tablets to get it all started -- stuck in limbo, still have preggo sypmtoms including exhaustion and had enough really. Also Im usually very optimistic and did think I only needed one egg but after 3 chems and 1 mmc I am starting to think there is no hope and it is just going to keep happening! : (

 

[ClaireCath]

Oh Sunshine, sorry to hear you are stuck in limbo. it must be so frustrating esp when you just want to move forward. hang in there hun. sending you a big virtual hug!! Fandaby, I rang my RE's office with my question, had to leave it on voicemail but they are very good about getting back to me soon usually. I am not too concerned actually. I know the chances of me being preggers are slim to none at this point, and I assume they will do a blood test right before procedure. I am just hoping the lap will show something that is being the cause of my problem!! Then we can move forward. It is progress at any rate. Glad you are healing up and enjoying time with little Mistique! The other little ones must be doting on her too. That's awesome
Well, I'll keep you ladies posted after lap. Please keep me in your prayers next Wednesday!

Sorry you are going through this and feeling crappy about your fertility.

When I was told about mmc, it was around 4 wks b4 bleeding started. Had all pregnancy symptoms up to then too. Really feel for you, it's not a good place to be in. Hope you can find the strength to get through it.

Take care of yourself dear.

Keep us updated.

 

[Sunshine14]

Thanks Claircath for the hug - much needed! & thanks for the empathy Fandabby x mentally feeling much better now - went back to hospital yesterday and they said no hb still but sac & everything else is still growing so my body is still developing PG. Elected to take tablets to start it all as could v likely have been another 4 weeks for body to do it naturally & I just need to move on now. Took tablets last night and bleeding started within few hours so at least I know the end is in sight now even if it takes another week or so physically. I was asking the doc whether it was chromosomal and he said likely trisomy & just one of those things. Am starting to think after 3 chems & 1 mmc in a row I must be due a lucky break somewhere .... time will tell!

Good luck ClairCath for Wednesday - hope the lap goes well xx

Fandabby hope ur enjoying ur gorgeous little bundle xx

Hope everyone else is well? 2plus how are you doing still on hols!?

 

[charlie15]

ClaireCath, good luck with the lap on Wednesday, will be thinking of you.

Sunshine, good to hear that you are feeling mentally better. I am sure you are due a break very soon. I know what you mean about wanting to get things moving, I was the same. From my scan at 9 weeks with no HB and stopped growth at 7 weeks, I had my D&C at 11 weeks but didn't pass everything until 12 weeks, so a 5 week process in all so it can really drag on and it's horrible to be in that limbo place then when you just need to move on, so I hope it all happens as easily and as pain free as possible

AFM nothing more exciting to report as AF arrived this morning. Totally fine though as I feel with charting I have got to know my body so well, and for me late O really isn't a good thing. So on with the next month, will be getting the 3 days bloods done this week. Hoping for a decent FSH that may be promising for IVF should be need it.

Right I have a little monkey climbing over me so bye ladies xxxx

 

[marathongirl]

Fandabby- what a beautiful baby I'm sure you are in heaven now! My older 2 are amazing with my lo as well. She's not so little at 15 months but they are great with her.
Sunshine- so glad you are getting through this. It is so hard being in limbo. I was like that with my last mc as well. No hb at 6 weeks and it took until almost 9 to bleed. Sac was growing, hcg was rising. I totally felt preggo. I know what you mean about being discouraged. I too have had 4 mc's with a rainbow in between
AFM- waiting for af which will be second cycle since mc. I know I'm not preggo because my nipples are sore. So weird the months I am pregnant I don't have sore nipples after o but they are so sore if I'm not?

 

[2plus1more]

I'm back from vacation (really since Wednesday, but so busy) and it was great to get away from everything.

Fandabby, congrats on your little girl!!! I saw the pics and she's beautiful! Hope you both continue to do well.

Sunshine, I'm so sorry for these turn of events. I was shocked to say the least. Not sure exactly what to say at these times as I can't imagine your pain, but we are hear to listen. Vent away at any time. You are in my thoughts.

Marathon, I hear you on the sore nipples. I can't remember my boobs ever hurting during 2ww when pregnant and yet some women say they test because they are sore!!! So don't give up hope. This sounds odd and I can't find anything on google, but my breasts are painful after I fly. Weird right?!? I flew home from Austria in April and just like now, they have been very painful.

Charlie, I'll be getting blood work done soon too. Hopefully we'll both get good results!

ClaireCath, good luck with the Lap. Take it easy and relax once you can!

AFM, nothing new. I was very relaxed this month and it felt great. No stressing or temping. We were able to bd the day before and two days before expected ovulation (it didn't change in the 4 months that I temped). I'm currently on CD 18 and hoping for a BFP!!!!!

 

[marathongirl]

Thanks 2plus1more! Fx'd for you this cycle. Maybe that's all you needed was to relax and bam you'll get your BFP!

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey charlie, mgirl and 2plus thanks for your support and empathy - there is nothing nice about a miscarriage and it really is just one of those things you have to get through! I went back to work today after 3 days off waiting for it to happen and sorry tmi but I think I passed the sac tonight whilst walking home from tube. V different experience to my last one (which was pain and clots and ended up haemoraghing in hospital) this one has been quite gentle and hopefully scan next week will give the all clear! I think I was terrified it was going to be physically hideous like last time but it has really surprised me this time. : )

Anyways I think I've had my share of BFP's with 4 since Xmas!! - lol so really it is up to some of you lovely ladies to get some now and have sticky, healthy babas like fandabby xxxxxx

 

[ClaireCath]

Hey 2 plus one, glad you have been chillin about it all this past month. I hope this is the lucky month without all the temping etc for you! I am doing that next month, we will be in Myrtle Beach for vacay. Sunshine, feeling for you still. Glad it is just about done for you and wish you all the best as we all move forward. Marathon~ sore boobs suck for whatever the reason!! AFM, the lap went well. He didn't find all that much though which would be an indicator of WHY we can't get preggers. 2 little spots of endo that's all and my uterus was "heart shaped" so he shaved (UGH) some of it away. I don't believe this hinders conception as much as implantation and def higher risk of mc wt that odd shape so who knows.....Afterwards, when he talked to DH, DH got the feeling he was saying...she's perfect inside and no reason it won't happen. frustrating, but happy there is nothing really wrong with me. Probably just crap eggs, need to find that wee good one in there. I'm pretty tender but hopefully up and at em soon enough.

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey ClairCath sorry to hear you are feeling a bit tender but sounds like your appointment went really really well hun! That is fab news that there is nothing wrong with you -- it really is just a matter of catching a good egg then! Has your DH been for a SA what did that find was that good too? If so it should just be a matter of time - fingers xd and to you hun x

 

[marathongirl]

Clairecath- I agree with Sunshine that it sounds like your appointment went well! Looks like we are all basically in the sane boat in search if that golden egg! I know it's there for all of us.
AFM- cd1 today. A relatively long cycle for me at 29 days! Lets hope I have a normal flow as my last one was very light after th mc.

 

[maxxiandniko]

Fanda - those pics are adorable
Clair - glad to hear the appt went well
Sunshine - how's everything
Hi to everyone else!
Leaving for vacation today. I got a positive opk last Saturday afternoon and Sunday and have been feeling so sick these last few days - nauseous, can't eat but also have muscle aches and a horrible headache but of cours negative hpt so I'm probably sick+PMS+have a migraine. Oh well. Those were my last opks and my last hpts. My period should arrive this weekend or a little after and then I'll call the RE's office to get the cycle going. Kind of scary. I was really hoping to get there on my own and now I'm scared I won't get there at all.

 

[ClaireCath]

Thanks Ladies! Maxxiandniko, don't be scared! Just take every part of the journey as it comes ok? The journey to success is rarely a straight line, but that's OK! We will all get there. xo

 

[charlie15]

Hi ladies, ClaireCath good to hear all well with lap. Yes that golden egg, I think most of us oldies are probably in the same boat. Can I ask are any of you taking DHEA? I have read a lot about it for improving egg quality in women 35+ but mostly 40+ and here in the UK most FS put women on it for 6 weeks before staring any fertility treatment as the studies are so strong proving it's value at improving egg quality. I understand that it's basically like a testosterone hormone that we are deficient in as we age. However it is recommended that you get your testosterone levels checked before taking it. I have my appointment next month and will be asking about it. It's still not on a formulary for prescription so you buy it yourself but as it's becoming more frequently recommended by FS's and RE's I wonder if it will only be a matter if time before they will be prescribing it and it gets patented by a big pharma company? ClaireCath if you haven't already it may be worth asking your FS about it?

Maxxi have a lovely holiday, going anywhere nice? And like ClaireCath says, one day at a time Hun on this rollercoaster ride.

Sunshine, I am glad that this mc wasn't as awful as your last, that sounded awful. When is your scan?

AFM I am CD 9 today so planning on some serious BDing over the next 5 or 6 days! I also need it go and get my blood results tomorrow, trying not to think about it. I am a little nervous about them, but they are what they are!

 

[2plus1more]

Glad that your mc wasn't the traumatic experience you had last time. And that it was over rather quickly. Any idea what you'll do next? Will you continue the soy?

Charlie, I don't know much about the DHEA except to be careful since it affects your hormones. That's good that you are going to talk to your doctor. Maybe pose your question in an assisted reproduction forum? They may know more. Good luck in the next few days!

Good luck to everyone else as well. ClaireCath, did they tell you that you could be more fertile in the next couple months. I've heard that after the procedure, but wasn't sure if it's true.

AFM, I did get AF. But, happy that for the first time since IUD removal (March), I have a heavier flow. I remember when I had it inserted it took me 6 months to adjust so I'm hoping we've just had a lining issue. Currently CD 3. I also made an appointment with the midwife for this Friday. Was hoping to get in before CD 3 up get those labs, but I called too late
