hi Nat how are you?

 

[Anniebobs]

Kelly I know how you feel I was so scared to try again we basically just decided not to think about trying and just ntnp. Of course that's hard when I have regular cycles and know when I'm due to o! I'd had all the testing done for recurrent miscarriage and they came back negative so the doctor said it looks like it's just bad luck, but as a precaution told me to take baby aspirin after bfp. That's the only thing I did differently this cycle. It could just be luck or it could be the aspirin, who knows. From what I've read the side effects are so minimal it's worth a shot. Good luck to you.

hi Nat how are you?

Hi Kelly, glad to see you back! I am so sorry for your loss, I know how awful it is to go through this repeatedly. We have been seeing fertility specialists since December 2013 and all of our tests came back great as well. I know how scary it is to move forward in fear that something will go wrong again, but... the alternative is to give up having a baby. I am so scared of having another ectopic, terrified actually. I am on fsh injections which I've read can increase the risk of having another. The clinic didn't tell me that but I guess they wouldn't have given them to me if they thought it was risky. I hope you are hanging in there ok.

Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes girls. I will update after my appointment tomorrow!

 

[kelly1973]

thanks ladies we will all get there in the end for sure xx

How did everything go yesterday Natalie? I hope all is well!! Keeping you in my prayers!

 

[Nataliek]

Thanks Amanda, it went well. I have responded great to the injections and I have one 13 mm follicle on my left ovary, opposite side of the ectopic. Very happy it's on the other side. They asked if I wanted to increase my dose to try and get one more egg but I said no, I am really against the idea of multiples. They think I could have one more coming but they will know better tomorrow. I am there every day starting tomorrow and looks like it will be thurs or fri for the IUI. I am not due to ovulate on my normal schedule until next sat so it has sped things up which is what the goal is! Trying really hard to just stay calm and not get excited so that I am not crushed at the end of the tww if it doesn't work. Thanks for checking on me and thinking of me xo

 

[kelly1973]

fantastic news nataliek will be thinking of you fingers crossed xxx

 

[Nataliek]

Thanks so much Kelly, it's very hard to be excited but I'm trying to stay hopeful and positive!

 

[Anniebobs]

Sounds promising Natalie, good luck! And don't worry, we've all been there trying not to get too hopeful or excited in the tww!

Natalie I am keeping my fingers crossed for you, everything sounds promising so far!

I am 4dpo, I am not a 100% about our timing this month it all depends if my chart is right on the day I ovulated as we bd the day before which I thought might of been day I ovulated as had massive amounts of ewcm....I always get two days positive opks :/ We have bd every other day in the run up. Oh who knows, even if timing is good does not mean it will happen.

I hope you have all had a good weekend.

The timing sounds perfect, Mrskitty! Being in fertility treatment I learned the best timing is actually 2 days before you ovulate and the day before, not the actual day of! I have always pin pointed my most fertile as the day I have the most EWCM, I usually get it in abundance as well. Hang in there during the TWW. I am usually ok until the last week, then I get anxious to find out lol.

Well another perfect update, I jumped from a 13mm follicle to a 17mm since Saturday. My uterine lining has thickened up to right where it should be as well. Looks like it will likely be Thurs or Fri for it, but more than likely Thurs. This can only mean one thing. Something will go wrong and it will fail. I absolutely hate that I feel like this, I just want to be positive but I am practically drained of every ounce of hope that I have. I am sorry, what a Debbie Downer!

It is hard not to get negative I think after all the disappointment of ttc and the experience of mc, but things are looking great for you so far. Trying to take each day as it comes and focusing on the positive is what you need to do....I know I would be the same as you! I feel anxious for you! You certainly have cause to be hopeful though. I think we almost will not allow ourselves to be hopeful as we will have further to fall but I really think we should let ourselves hope and be positive as it does not change the outcome and feeling negative does the stress levels no good. Oh how I babble! Are you back tomorrow to be checked again?

Thanks for the advise Natalie, I never feel confident the timing is good but thought when I had ewcm made sense to bd then. Just need to wait and see, yeah the last half I feel seriously anxious too, crazy as it out of my control. It would be amazing if we both got our bfps

omg would it ever be amazing!!! I never feel confident either so I understand. EWCM is an EXCELLENT indicator of how fertile you are, I barely even use OPK's anymore, I usually use 2 or 3 sticks starting on when I have EWCM and that's it. You become more and more in tune with your body as time goes on.

I am back tomorrow and every day until they do the IUI. Will probably be Thurs, unless they want me to grow to 22 mm and then it would be Friday. I agree with you and I should allow myself to be hopeful, I think once it's done I will be more relaxed knowing we did everything the doctors said and it will be out of my hands.

So I have landed my butt back in the hospital. No bleeding but bad sharp pains in my lower back this morning at work. Been at the hospital for 4 hours now. They are going to send me for a reassurance scan right away. They drew bloods and did urinalysis on me as well. Hoping everything is ok. I have been doing lots of packing for our upcoming move and hope maybe it's just a muscular thing or a uti. Just praying my little bean is ok!!

[Nataliek]

Everything ok Amanda? I agree with mrskitty you probably just over did it and all your ligaments are stretching right now to make room for your little bug. Hang in there!

 

[kelly1973]
