6 months + since mc and no luck getting pregnant... Come join me in the wait!!

[Nataliek]

Hi girls, things went perfect, my husband had a sample of 150 million this morning. Anything over 5 million is considered good lol. He is pretty proud of himself. It was really quick and easy, just like a pap. I think if this fails I won't be so stressed next time on what to expect because it was so simple. I am still anticipating failure so I am not crushed in two weeks time but I am much less anxious about things now that it's over. I am so grateful for all of you on this thread, I hope the pregos don't leave us!!!

Mrskitty I am going to attempt to do the same!!! If you can do it I can do it. I am so hoping this is your month.

Hope all went well today Natalie! Mrs kitty when are you due AF?

Af is due Sunday Annie, I normally start to spot the evening of cd24. I am not testing early this month, did not buy any ic on purpose ha. So I will test Monday if Af is not here. How you are you doing?

I keep looking out for news from Natalie, hope it went well.

That's the way to do it (though I never could!) I have everything crossed for you.

I'm good, had a few twinges in my hip yesterday after my run and a big day out at a park and a splash park with dd so I'm hoping it's not spd starting again. I had it from 5 months with dd and it was so painful. Will do some yoga today to try and get some deep stretches to that area.

Natalie I'm glad it was so simple, let's hope you don't have to do it again though!

I saw that two miss kitty about the run lol wow that's brilliant im useless
miss kitty fingers crossed
nat so pleased it went well im thinking of you all im ready to get on with it now wish my body will sort itself out

 

[Anniebobs]

Yeah I started running after my first mc as a away to de-stress more than anything. Then I got addicted! I did stop from 6-11 weeks when I had bleeding and ms but I've asked the consultant and my midwife and they both recommend keeping at it as long as I can. I started yoga as a way to get a bit of extra stretching in on my rest days, I'm not very good though! My dd joins in and puts me to shame haha!

 

[kelly1973]

wow annie I like the idea of getting addicted to the running I want to start but arrrrh I just cant be arsed does it get easier lol

 

[Anniebobs]

The first few weeks are definitely the hardest. The only thing I enjoyed about my first few attempted runs was getting home and the endorphin high at the end! I used the couch to 5k program and can now run 5k most days. I'd definitely recommend it as a cheaper alternative to a therapist!

Mrskitty today is the day AF is due right??

Mrskitty, I am sorry I know how crappy it is. Just sucks we have to go through this. I always give myself two days, I say ok you're going to allow yourself two days to feel grumpy and sad and then you are going to move on. It seems to help me in some way. I think you should definitely try IUI, you have nothing to lose and you will know you got the timing right. It took the pressure off of us big time.

I am actually not feeling so great, I am really crampy and achy and I believe it's the side effects from the ovidrel shot I had to make me ovulate. I woke up in the middle of the night last night in agony, bad pain on my one side and really achy where my ovaries are. I seemed to have subsided a bit this morning but I am feeling tender on my sides right now again. I called the clinic this morning and they basically said it's just ovulation pain blah blah. I believe I ovulated yesterday so not sure if it's just post O pain or what. Hoping it goes away soon.

mrs kitty your not out till the witch comes I didn't get a positive with Daniel till 14dpo and I was getting negatives the days before keeping everything crossed for you.
Nat sorry to seem dim but what is iui? was it you that said the best time to catch the egg is two days before or the day before and not on the day of ov.
sorry you was in pain hope you feel a bit better keeping everything crossed for you.
anniebobs 5k omg I could never do that lol

 

[Nataliek]

Kelly IUI is intrauterine insemination, they use washed sperm and place it at the tip your uterus close to your tubes timed close to ovulation. That's why I had so many trips to the clinic this week as they need to monitor your follicle daily as well as bloodwork so they don't miss ovulation. We kept trying on our own and losing so we thought let's take the pressure out of the timed sex and have the doctors assist in getting us pregnant and see if that helps. I personally don't feel like this is the month but I am ok with that, I will be a lot less stressed if I have to do it again as I know what to expect now. My dr told me that it's actually two days before you ovulate is optimal timing, I looked up that theory and I'll post a link for you.

I normally get slight o pain but nothing that lasts very long and it never lingers. They said becuase my ovaries are stimulated this is common, I had to lay down this afternoon I was so achy. I hope to god I end up with a baby sometime soon, I don't want to go through this for much longer.

Mrskitty I was actually a day late when I got my bfp with my son, I am so hoping this is the case for you.

How are you feeling Kelly? Do you know what your beta levels are at now?

 

[kelly1973]

thanks nat sorry to ask so much, well my preg tests are very faint so im hoping soon things will get back to normal not sure if I talked about it on here but my doc wont do tests on progesterone as research is still ongoing and docs here are pretty poo well ive been trying to get some from different people abroad that have some left over whats your views on it ladies?
nat sorry you are going through this you will get your rainbow soon for sure ive got everything crossed for you xxx

 

[Nataliek]

I don't actually know, they gave me the progesterone suppositories but they said it was up to me if I use them. I am thinking I probably won't as I don't think that's the problem and I don't need anymore side effects!! Lol

I am glad your tests are becoming faint Kelly, it will just be a matter of time now before you are back to normal. It's so awful your doctor won't send you to an RE now, it's certainly warranted. You are the patient and should be able to tell them what you want. I always do that at my clinic. It's your body and you deserve answers even if it's only for your piece of mind.

 

[kelly1973]

I know the docs are crap here all they seem to want to do is get you out the surgery asap and move onto the next person, ive tried being pushy and she just says she cant its out of her hands

Hi ladies just popping in to say hi and to catch up on everyone's news.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you miss kitty and Natalie.

Kel I have been keeping up to date woth your story on another thread.

How is Amanda doin. Good to see things are good woth you Annie.

As for me I got first af after miscarriage on sat which is exactly three weeks since miscarriage bleeding stopped. I have mixed feelings about af as cramps and bleeding bring back memories of miscarriage and next week Is 4 years since I lost my first angel but good side is I my body is ready to try again if I want to.

Went to see gp and they won't refer me for tests until I have had had a third consequtive miscarriage. They ran some routine bloods which I should get back wed but otherwise no help what so ever.

I am still very torn about ttc again. I have always seem myself with two children and am desperate to be pregnant again but on other hard I am not sure if I could cope woth the heartbreak of another loss xxxxxx

 

[Nataliek]

Mrskitty I am already going crazy and I am only 2dpo! I promised myself I would not do this, but here I am. For some reason I am always overly anxious on Monday mornings, not sure why. I think it's anticipating the week to come. Are you sure you are getting AF? I envy your willpower!!!! My last miscarriage I tested the night before on the day my period was due and it was bfn. The next morning it was blazing positive. You never know!!!
