A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

NSN i dont have pcos...had blood tests before ttc and all came back normal too...i have had my ovaries scanned and all looked good. I really think my mc has messed up my cycles...before my cycles were every 34/40 days with a positive opk exactly 2 weeks before AF would arrive...i dont know if im ovulating anymore because i get ewcm during my fertile period and after for about a week. I dont want to visit my drs again because they are not interested they dont chase anything up and they simply dont care...does anyone know anything about agnus cactus?...well thats what i think its called...i dont know if there is anything i can do to regulate my cycles now...and im not sure how to temp...i wake up at 4.30 most days but hardly ever get a full night sleep...im not sure how to do it or what to do so would anyone be able to explain...x

bumpyplease..im so so sorry for all of your losses...i hope you are ok...good luck with all the tests keep us updated and welcome to the thread..im so happy that i have the support from all these ladies. x
 
Hi ladies,

Can I join? I'm 31, TTC #1 and we had a second MMC last week.

To be honest I'm feeling really numb - I don't know what to do with myself - I just want to curl up in my house and never go out again. I'm supposed to be going to back to work tomorrow and the thought terrifies me :(

I want to get back to TTC straight way but I dotn really see the point as I know it's going to end in bad news again, and I'm not sure I can go through it again. I'm not in a good place :cry:

Oh hun, I'm so sorry for you loss :cry: I'm sorry you're feeling so sad, lean on us for support. :hugs:

**big sigh** and I already feel like this month was a no go :cry:

XxX

Super big :hugs: :hugs:

I'm all done and back home. Extremely sore and tired.

Glad you've joined us Pink, we all need to support each other.
So sorry you're feeling so sad :hugs:

Glad you're home and it went well. Hope you're feeling a bit better today.

AFM AF is a no show still!!!urgh last month i got a positive opk on cd 17 i think and didnt get AF until 21dpo...this month it looks like its going to be the same thing...why is my body so messed up...i couldve sworn i felt ovulation pains the day after my pos opk...mmm...maybe i was wrong...ive given up with the hpt...know im out but still waiting for AF just want her to turn up so we can proceed with next months bfp!! good luck to all those in the tww or approaching, and sending hugs to all who got AF x

Still have everything crossed for you!

hi ladies, can i join?

a bit about me: im 30, DH is 32, i started TTC Nov 2010. I seem to get pregnant fairly quickly but have had 3 losses in 6 months!!! 2 at 8 weeks (saw a hb in one) and the most recent one at 6 weeks.

im with a consultant now and thought it would be useful to say the investigations im having in case it can help anyone in the future. Also if anyone has had different/other testing please let me know and we can perhaps swap notes?

I have had:
Ultrasound scan - to check for polyps, fibroids, PCOS, Endemetriosis. All clear
Basic blood test at the docs including: day 21 progesterone, antiphosholipid, thyroid

Tomorrow I am having:
Full thrombophilia screen (including factor V Leiden and prothombin gene mutaton)
Lupus Anti Coagulant
Karyotyping (for me and OH)

Between day 2 and 5 of my cycle i am having a baseline hormone profile including FSH, LH, prolactin and testosterone

Just waiting for AF and for the blood tests now. Consultant has said when i next get pregnant he will put me on progesterone as a precautionary measure. also thinking about taking baby asprin from a positive prego test.

anyone else on BA?
for those ladies in the 2ww good luck x

Sorry for your losses :hugs: I took baby aspirin a few cycles ago, but my doctor said she had never heard of it and didn't want me on it. So I stopped. I had testing done last month - 2 tests for my thyroid, anti coagulant, and another one I can't remember. All came back clear. I'm thinking it's low progesterone, but they wouldn't do CD21 bloods or anything. But, I know when I get pregnant again, she said they will check my levels to make sure they're increasing and I'll have them check progesterone as well.
 
I'm currently still waiting for OV. Started temping, to get a rough idea of what it's like for next cycle. Not sure if I'll be able to since I wake up constantly through the night and sleep with my mouth open. But we'll give it a shot. Had cramping a few days ago, but - OPK, and now noticing an increase in CM. Hopefully I'll get a + in the next few days!
 
Ladies how do i quote more than one comment?

Every message you want to quote, hit the "+ button next to the Quote button. Then hit "quote" on the last one. Should bring all the replies to one message.
 
I'm doing ok today thanks. Tummy a bit sensitive still and dodgy guts (probably from anesthetic).
Been quite cheerful today too, hope it lasts.

I promise to start keeping up with everyone soon. X
 
Hi everyone. Had a busy week and haven't been on line much. Thought I'd pop in to say Hello :hi:

NTAL - glad you're back from your op OK and are starting to feel a bit brighter. You can start looking forwards again now :hugs:

Patiently, my hormones were all over the place last month so I know how you feel! I think it takes a little while for it all to settle down, but it will eventually. I've read that the body can go through 'regulatory cycles' after a miscarriage when it tries to get itself back on track, so look at all the madness in a positive way - it's you're body's way of fixing you :hugs:

NSN - sorry you're feeling a bit rubbish - it catches you out when you least expect it - I've had a few dreams that have left me feeling a bit weird and it's not nice. Fingers crossed for you this month.

Welcome new members - we all know what it's like to have to pick yourself up again after more than one loss - not an easy feat at all.

AFM - got the results of my blood tests from the Drs on Tuesday and everything came back normal so there's nothing obvious wrong. I'm relieved but feeling a bit blah at the moment - work's really busy, I'm tired and not really up for trying and the emotional roller coaster this month. CD 10 at the moment so hoping I'll feel a bit perkier in a few days time!
 
Hey ladies cd16 for me, had a wee this morning and what do i see a big blob of ewcm! :haha:

Wanted to get nk test with Professor Quenby this mth so wouldnt be able to ttc til next mth, but am trying to get a letter off my doc 1st - easier said than done! Anyway i emailed Professor Quenby last night asking if it was necessary to have a letter and what it needed to say. She emailed back today, 1 line - that said 'a letter is not essential!'

Will probably ovulate over the weekend then hopefully the test a week after that, long way to go for me though, and dh still isnt keen on me having it because its a biopsy :shrug:

Welcome Bumpy sounds like you have all the blood tests covered! Have you read much about nk cells?

My doc wont put me on progesterone as they say nothing has been proven yet! :growlmad:


Tweak i dont sleep great and mouth open etc but can usually see a pattern on chart for ovulation, good luck :thumbup:

Ladyfrog glad your bloods were normal x

NTAT :hugs:

:sleep: for me night xxx

I totally get that - I'm not feeling up to it that much. I just don't want the disappointment of a BFN again. Big :hugs:

Thanks hun. That makes me feel better about temping. I guess i'll see what my temps look like in a few days and hopefully notice some kind of pattern. Hope you have a good night. :hugs:
 
thanks for your messages and the welcome ladies!

had my karyotyping done today and getting the rest of my bloods done on day 2-5 of my cycle. come on AF!!!!

interested in NK cells testing, but my consultant didnt seem keen! anyone had this done?

i hope everyone has a nice day

Hi Bumpy...welcome and so sorry for your losses :hugs: here's hoping you get some answers from your testing and feel free to lurk, post, vent or whatever in here :hugs:

Patiently...maybe you're having the surge twice but only actually ovulating the second time? Stress can sometimes delay the ovulation :shrug: but I would try the temping, even if it isn't perfect, you may get to see a definitive ovulation point :hugs:

I'm currently still waiting for OV. Started temping, to get a rough idea of what it's like for next cycle. Not sure if I'll be able to since I wake up constantly through the night and sleep with my mouth open. But we'll give it a shot.

Tweak...good luck with the temping hun...let us know how you get on :thumbup: come on positive OPk :hugs:

I'm doing ok today thanks. Tummy a bit sensitive still and dodgy guts (probably from anesthetic).

Don't worry about us..we are all here anyway :hugs: glad you are feeling a little better though :hugs:

The dreams do catch you unaware and it made me realise how vulbnerable I still am in all this :wacko:

Sorry there were no answers in the tests, I hope you do get perkier and and you get back on the TTCAL wagon when you feel ready to :hugs:

Did you sort the issue out with Prof Quenby? I knwo DH isn't keen but you could say to him that it will be worth it for peace of mind if you were to get pregnant again and you had another loss...you wouldn't be wondering if you should have had that biopsy...does that make sense?! :wacko:

Hoping you do O and your cycles are back to pre MC? Sorry you're not TTC this month...or are you?

AFM...not much going on really..joined weight watchers online to lose some weight and see if I can have anew obsession instead of the TTC malarkey :haha:

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend :flower: and :hi: to any lurkers too :hugs:

Can I join in too please? I don't post much but it's comforting to see people in the same situation. I'm 31 and started TTC in Jan 2011, we were lucky and fell pregnant first month but it ended in natural m/c at 11 weeks. Then got another BFP in July started spotting late Aug and scan revealed an empty sac which I naturally m/c in early September.

First AF arrived last week and we are starting to try again although with lots of anxiety. We seem to fall pregnant easily but I can't seem to keep hold of it. It would be the due date of my first m/c this week and I'm finding it hard to cope, especially as my two best friends announced their pregnancies just after my first m/c and are now anxiously awaiting their new arrivals.

I'm holding onto a statistic I've been told that 85% of women who suffer 2 miscarriages go onto have healthy pregnancies so there's hope for all.

Good luck to all on this roller coaster journey xxx:flower:
 
Im 31, trying for #1. Just had my 3rd miscarriage, and underwent a D&C. the first two we didnt see heartbeats, but this last time we got pregnant with the help of clomid since we couldn't get pregnant after the 1st two, and we actually saw a heartbeat this time we made it to 8weeks 4 days. then i went to dr for an u/s at 9weeks just to be re-assured and thats when we saw no heartbeat. it was awful and now i am trying to recover and look forward to the future, and trying to stay positive. does anyone else feel like after a few losses you sort of get into some sort of mind set that almost makes me feel like i just need to be strong and determined and keep trying! not in an unhealthy way, because i still grieve for our losses, but that i need to keep going and that makes it easier for me and also i want a baby!!

I'm so sorry for your losses, and :hugs: for your due date this week. My first was a couple weeks ago, and it was very hard for me to cope with it, especially the few days leading up. I still find it very hard to cope, thinking I should have a baby right now. I like that statistic, it definitely gives us hope that we'll have a healthy pregnancy next.

I'm so sorry for your losses :hugs: I felt that way, being determined, after my 2nd loss. We didn't wait at all, just because I wanted to get pregnant. I haven't really felt that way in a while though, just getting down since it's been so long.



Hope all you ladies had a nice weekend! Got back from a trip to the ILs, and now just relaxing. Went apple picking, and had fun I guess. Just hard to see all the babies, knowing I should have one right now.

Still no + OPK, yet it was just a tad darker tonight. Will get some BDing in tonight though, just in case!

Welcome and sorry for your losses :hugs: My due date was a month ago but I had also just lost my second baby 2 weeks prior so it was a bit emotional to say the least..I also found that I felt a little bit better once the day had arrived and passed :hugs for your day. Lurk or post..whichever you feel comfortable with :flower:

So sporry for your losses too :hugs: life can be cruel and unfair at times and there is nothing abnormla in becoming obssessive with the TTCAL journey..we areall in the same boat which is why we all post in here :hugs: I am hoping that you also don't have to wait too long for your sticky BFP :hugs:

Good to see you ahd some time away and you are feeling okish. I hate it when you want to go for a quiet walk in the park and you are surrounded by families :cry: makes me feel green with envy as I want it so much :cry:

Get DTD girlfriend and hoping you get your positive soon :dust:

:hi: to everyone else, hope you are doing ok? :hugs:

AFM...had a nightmare of a weekend and have been an emotional and argumentative wreck :wacko: hoping that I will have a better day today :thumbup: also started Weight Watchers and feel like I could obsess over that too :haha:

Sorry to see all the new faces but welcome this is a good thread. lots of like minded people going through the same thing.

Good luck to everyone.
Have we had any success's so far this month????
 
Welcome to Raspberry Mini and lynn33 :hi: so sorry for your losses but so glad you found us here - I love this thread - thanks NSN

Raspberry - I note you say your DD is coming up soon- I started my journal on my DD from 1st loss - I found it has helped me no end. I put it all down on paper (so to speak) and immediately felt like a weight had been lifted. Just a thought hun :hugs:

Sorry to see all the new faces but welcome this is a good thread. lots of like minded people going through the same thing.

Good luck to everyone.
Have we had any success's so far this month????

Good question justwaiting - Yes, I wonder who will be our first bfp. I can categorically say it WON'T be me :haha:

Question for Lexi374 - I read that you are seeing Dr Quenby re NK cells testing.
Have you done this privately or been referred by your GP.
I have done a bit of research on her, she seems to be excellent and was wondering about having the testing myself so just wondered.

AFM - Am feeling so much better now than I did last week.
I consider myself very lucky to have recovered quite quickly I think.
Bleeding only lasted a day or so, then pink spotting for a day and now hardly anything - only when I wipe and only once a day or so, other times it is clear.

Decided to do a hpt this morning as I did one the day before I went into hospital and it was VERY positive, this mornings is almost negative, had to wait at least 3 minutes for a second line to show and its so faint, its almost not there.

I have to say that my NHS experience was an excellent one. I went in for 8am, was in my own private room by 8.30 where DH was allowed to stay with me throughout. They gave me Misoprostol via fifi at 9.15 and I was told to stay lying on the bed. It gave me mild period pains so I knew it was doing its job.
They came for me at 11 and wheeled me down to the theatre, I was knocked out about 11.15 and came round in recovery just before 12.
I immediately burst into tears, felt so sad that it was truly all over and relief that I was all done - emotions all mixed together.

They wheeled me back to my room and a nurse went and got Darren. They did my blood pressure and it was ''textbook perfect'' as the nurse put it.
Darren was shaking like a leaf, bless him and more than relieved to see that I was ok.
I was in quite a bit of pain at that point so they gave me strong painkillers, a sandwich and a cup of tea. (Amazing!)
The painkillers
took about half an hour to kick in and then I felt great, really spaced out. They redid my blood pressure and it had dropped really low, so I had to stay a bit longer, but was still home for 2.45pm.

All in all a good experience.

I have to say this experience did seem to be more thorough than the last one. Last time I wasn't given the Misoprostol beforehand and certainly no antibiotics. This time I had rectal antibiotics and painkillers whilst under the anesthetic as well as an injection against DVT.

I had Metronidazole, Azithromycin and Diclofenac and they also sent me home with a 3 day course of Diclofenac.

I took a pic on my phone of my notes so I could google what I'd had

Just telephoned the doctors surgery to request a note for another week. I feel ok, but just not quite ready to go back to work (plus why rush eh, might as well enjoy some of my time seeing the past 4 weeks have been hell on earth)

Hope everyone is ok on this very windy Monday morning. What to do today??
Might go and have a coffee with my mum and dad... (well tea as I STILL can't stomach the smell of coffee - hope it goes soon as I miss my coffee)

Promise to start reading peoples journals soon - I want to get to know you all :hugs:
:kiss:

Hope you're okay now hun :hugs: Yeah, it was baby after baby after baby that I saw. And it was like a stab in the heart :cry: Of course, I had to keep it to myself, as we weren't alone. Just seems like I'm always hiding my feelings - putting a fake smile on my face and getting on with the day. Seems to happen more often now.

I'm glad you're doing well and that you had a good experience with the NHS. Well, as good as it could've been. My D&C was pure hell, as I was waiting for 5 hours before taken back, as the doctor had an emergency delivery. Made me feel horrible :(

**

Well ladies, I had a dream last night that I got a BFP. It was one of those super realistic dreams, that you think was real when you woke up. Only to realize it wasn't. :cry: Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.
 
Tweak..sorry it was so hard..sometime it really is hard to just not say anything or fight the tears :hugs:

NTAT...glad that your experience wasn't too horrific :hugs: take it easy until you feel ready to face the work place and enjoy your cuppa's :hugs:

JW...there haven't been any BFP's yet...I am hoping we start to have a run of them soon and they are sticky ones too :flower:

XxX
 
May i join in aswell? :kiss:

Ive had two losses in the last 5 months. I had my 1st loss in June and i had a D&C on Wednesday for my 2nd loss. We have no children at present.
