42.3 and trying for #4

[Sunshine14]

Hey ladies hope you are all doing well? Maxxi good luck with your RE appt on 15th and Claircath hope you get some decisions made on 18th xx fingers xd for you both. Mgirl I agree with 2plus I think it is just your hormones getting back into kilter after the mc - I have been doing a good bit of reading since my mmc on 15 Aug trying to work out what to expect and have read a good bit that it can take a few months to get back to a regular O pattern. If you hadn't just had a mc I would be more worried by it but I think its just your body getting back into line xx stay positive hun xx. 2plus I think a progesterone level of 12 is fine I read that it can be from 1-28 but I think you only need to really worry if it goes low single digit.

Charlie how are you doing? Hope everything is ok for you hun xx Fandabby hope you are getting into a routine with Mistique and enjoying these precious early days xx

Afm 2plus I have no idea what is going on - I was doing OPK's and thought I had a + and had tons of EWCM for abotu 4 days and O twinges on right side (same side as the senior nurse said follicle was growing at all clear scan) but ran out of OPK's and didn't get a chance to get any more. I think I may have O'd earlier this week don't know if it happpened this month I'm CD29 today and am just expecting to get af in a week or two so - just going with the flow and will see what happens. I don't think there's any point in testing this month and wouldn't even know when to do one!!!?? Feeling good mentally though loving London and my job is fantastic my colleagues are lovely and V funny and I spend the whole day laughing so feeling good about life and will just see what happens really and when I get af. Hope you are well hun xxx

Anyway ladies hope you all have a lovely weeked and babydust to you all xxxxxxx



With the O i actually have no idea what is going on, I

Hi ladies, a lot to catch up with as just back from holidays.

Marathon girl, it took me at least 2 cycles to get back on track post mmc. I charted for the 2nd cycle, not the first and I didn't ovulate even though I seemingly had the perfect cycke with lots of EWCM. Give it time Hun.

Maxi, I also have hypothroidism, I developed post partum thyroiditis after I had my dd and it's stucks, it's a bummer but as long as it's tightly controlled when TTC, as in your tsh should be less that 2.5, it should not stop you from conceiving or carrying. When is your appointment?

Sunshine, glad to hear you are happy at work and been back in London. I am thinking of moving out, lol! Unlikely to happen in hear future though!

ClaireCath, how are you Hun? And fandabby? Welcome new ladies.

AFM, well I have some news. I found out while on holiday that I am pregnant! Kind of unsure what I am feeling with this pregnancy been my first since my mmc. I have to keep reminding myself and feeling my inflated boobs to register the fact. However trying to keep positive and calm and fandabby, you are my inspiration!

 

[2plus1more]

Sunshine, you sound much more relaxed. Yay! I'm sure it will happen soon and you'll get your healthy baby. I'm also more relaxed. Haven't taken a preg test in probably 3 or so months. I just wait for my af and start all over again.

Congrats Charlie! Amazing that you will not need IVF. Happy and healthy nine months to you

Awesome! Congrats! All will go well!

 

[maxxiandniko]

So my AMH is .69 which sucks but is normal for my age and not much lower than last year. It sounds like the RE will go ahead with the cycle but now I have to see what the insurance says. My appt is Monday.

Charlie that is fabulous congratulations hun xxx if ur anything like I was ur probably going to feel a bit weird about it until u get confirmation that everything is looking good! Its a strange place to be cos u feel excited but don't want to get ur hopes up too much in case it doesn't work out! There is no reason though why this won't be ur rainbow baba & u r supposed to be more fertile after mc so I'm sure it will all be fine hun -- we are all routing for u hun we need a second rainbow baba on this thread!!! How far along r u hun? Will u be able to get an early scan at all? If I got PG again I would try to get one for week 8 cos by then there should defo be a hb and fetal pole. Will u be able to get one?? Keeping fingers and toes and everything crossed for u xx also is that a thyroid issue that u have so presumably they will have to pay close attention to ur levels to make sure all good with PG?? Take it easy anyway babe and look after urself xx ps we are going to move out of London in the next year - probably Hertfordshire way .......

 

[marathongirl]

Charlie- congrats!!!! Praying that this is your rainbow
How far along are you? Will they do an early scan?? Feeling so happy for you. Try to relax and enjoy everyday that you are preggo!!!

 

[charlie15]

Thank you ladies. I am actually feeling pretty relaxed about it, not sure why. I just feel very what will be will be. I won't be entitled to an early scan as I have had only1 mc. Tbh I think I won't bother this time. Last pregnancy I had one at 6 weeks which should a strong HB and normal growth, then at 9+4 found that baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks, so I guess as I know it can change I am just going to see how I go without. I kind of feel like it can give false reassurance and also I find scans extremely stressful, so to be avoided now!

Maxi how did the appointment go? Good news that they will go ahead with this cycle. Hoping this is it for you. Is your AMH similar to when you were pregnant with your boys?

Sunshine, yes I will have to keep my thyroid levels in check but not until 8 weeks. My levels have been very tightly controlled so am pretty confident all good now.

So where are you all at with your cycles? Hope to have a BFP buddy this month!

It's hard to see the hb and then see it's gone. It will work out for you. My labs were normal back when I did the ivf. They've been getting worse but thought to be an age related decline. The numbers aren't much different than last year's.

And if I'm going by a 28 day cycle my period should be here next Tuesday. I didn't track ovulation this month. And last month's cycle was weird so I really don't know.

 

[2plus1more]

I'm on day 3. Waiting to hear back from my midwife to see if I can go for day 3 labs. If she calls in the next hour, I'll run out quickly to get a blood draw. Does anyone know if it's okay to have blood drawn on CD 4? Today my flow is very light and I know af will be done by tomorrow. DH called today for a semen analysis. I'm sure he's fine, but they want it checked as well. I hope his md doesn't make him come in to the office and makes a big deal out of it.

 

[fandabby]

Congrats Charlie, so pleased to read about your BFP. Sending lots of baby dust, hoping your lil bean is strong and sticky. It does feel strange after a mmc, relax and as you said what will be will be, but it will be fine!

I'm keeping fingers crossed for everyone else, be nice to read about more BFPs.

Been really busy so not posted in a while. Mistique growing fast. Her hb still dropping, they nearly transfused her last week but when retested her level it went up a little so holding off for now. Lots of appointments but so far she's doing ok. Sleepy with low hb, very colicky and my nipples are raw, she fafs around feeding, grit my teeth and hold my breath. Hoping it gets better soon. Using lansinoh and that does help, be a lot worse without it.


Stay well Charlie and good luck ladies, let's have some more pregnancies.....

 

[ClaireCath]

Good luck with your appointment ClaireCath! Are you leaning towards another IUI or IVF, if I can ask? And yes, hopefully you won't need it! From everything your doctor has said, everything looks good! What CD are you on now? I think I'm CD 19.

Maaxi, I think you mentioned you have an appointment coming up soon regarding IVF. Hope you are all set to go. I've heard how nerve wracking it can all be so I'm wishing good thoughts for you.

Sunshine, do you know if you ovulated this cycle? I know you said you don't usually after a chemical/mmc.

AFM, I got my labs back, but I knew all along they were day 21 labs. Not sure why she ordered FSH. My TSH was normal as was the FSH, but now I have to have the E2 and FSH done again to compare. Also, my progesterone was 12. Seems a little low for implantation, but not sure?! Anyone know? I still haven't talked to midwife, but hopefully soon. Also, I decided to try acupuncture. My first appointment is Oct 2nd. Anyone ever try it? I thought, why not! Hoping it helps with the stress too!

Hey 2 plus one, I think we are on the same when you posted you were day 19 i was day 20 so i am CD 26 now. No sign of AF but did a HPT today Nada. Follow up with RE tomorrow. We have a bit of insurance $ left to cover meds for IVF and are leaning toward going right to that. DH and I are on the same page. I think I need to see what the hell is up with my eggs to put my mind at ease, if they retrieve and they are all shitty well then ok, fine I know it's all on me and I will have the satisfaction of that knowledge. One try at it and loads of prayers.... still praying for a miracle here.... We have been on vacation down south for the last 9 days so forgive me for being out of the loop! How are you feeling? And CHARLIE!! Yay!!! congrats my dear! Enjoy it and my prayers are with you for a sticky sticky sticky little bean! xo Sunshine, hope everything is going good with you, glad you are enjoying London.... and Fandab of course you are busy with the little beauty! Sorry she is a little out of sorts but Im sure she will come through everything fine and hopefully ease up on your boobs. lol also welcome 5drops, def a great group of ladies on this thread. Share some ups and downs with us....we always are hopeful for more ups and BFPS!!! The advice you got on the opk's above sounds right o me....First morning never detects mine but I start around day 9 and always around day 15-16 I will get a very faint in the morning woth first pee but then at around 1pm it's tatolly dark.....i know I'm Oing, just have no idea why I am not getting knocked up.

Yes Day 4 is ok. They always do a semen analysis.

 

[ClaireCath]

Maxxi, I sort of lost track here, are you going for ivf?

 

[maxxiandniko]

Maxxi, I sort of lost track here, are you going for ivf?

Yep. I'm going to start my cycle with my next cycle which is supposed to start the end of next week. I still don't fully believe it because I'm surprised they agreed to try, I'm surprised that my husband said ok (with a huge fight of course) and I don't believe it will work but yes I guess it's supposed to happen. I'm not sure of how the cycle will go. I call in with day 1 and then start birth control and stim at some point but I feel like that at this point last time I had my meds ordered. I don't really like my nurse. Not very communicative.

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey ladies hope you are all well xx I'm back in the game CD1 today - the witch got me yipee at least I am back on track again! Claircath glad u and hubby are on same page and I am hoping and praying that u get a sticky bean with ur IVF hun xx Maxxi fingers xd this is ur month for IVF hun xxx Charlie u have the best attitude and I'm praying for ur sticky bean xx 2plus I'm right behind u again hun we can be cycle buddies xx

 

[2plus1more]

That newborn stage can be tough Fandabby. Hopefully she'll continue to improve and the colic will get better. My 2nd baby was colicky and I know how stressful it can be. I never felt so helpless. I know she improved by the 3 month, so here's hoping for you.

Still thinking good thoughts for you Charlie. Do you have any symptoms yet?

ClaireCath, that's really good that you are on same page with your husband. I'll be crossing all fingers and toes for you!

You too Maaxi! I'm sure it wasn't easy to convince your husband about the IVF. My husband is very opposed to it (probably because of money). I think most men lack that need or desire to have children in the same way that us women desire it. I hope that things go well for you.

Marathon, where are you in your cycle?

Sunshine, we can be buddies, but my cycles have been so short. Anywhere from 22-27 days. I'm taking vitex with the hopes of lengthening the follicular phase.

I got my day 3 labs back and I'm happy with them. My E2 was 39 and the FSH was 8.3. Hubby has a romantic date with the cup (hopefully soon!) and then we should have a consultation within the next month or so!

[marathongirl]

Hi Ladies!! So much going on here!
Sunshine- glad to hear you are back on track and in the game!
Maxxi- good luck with your IVF! That's exciting and fx'd for a BFP.
Fandabby- sorry to hear about the sore nipples I had that with my last as well. They were bleeding so bad her poop was almost black. It will get better just breathe.
Charlie- what an awesome attitude. One I will try to adopt when I get a BFP again! Do you have any symptoms yet?
AFM- as I'm not using opk's or temping I can't exactly say what's going on with me? I had my 2nd cycle after mc and then 14 days later I had a 2 day bleed like full flow for 2 days? I am now cd15 post this weird 2 day bleed and I'm pretty sure I ov'd so we shall see? My body is definitely wonky after the mc let's hope it's back on track now!
