[lexi374]

Soop kat has been posting on a pal thread, she has seen the heartbeat, so far so good i think! x

 

[lexi374]

Omg just found out my bf i work with is having a girl!! So excited for her!

I think she secretly wanted girl although she said boy would be easier cos of the hair (Dad is african) i guess she better learn how to braid afro hair lol!! x

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh that's great about Kat, thanks for letting me know Lexi x These teabags I mean are camomile, peppermint and spearmint but best to exercise caution too. I have everything crossed for your appt xxx

Hey, everyone! I believe I may be beginning the 2 ww...the first official 2 ww since my miscarriage in February. And it's a medicated cycle too (Clomid). My temp spiked this morning, and I'm hoping it stays up, and our bding was timed well.

Feel free to peek at my chart, and let me know what you think!

 

[ayclobes]

Hey Ladies, I've been MIA, but i'm back! Can anyone suggest a good bbt thermometer? i need to start using one asap, for next af. We are still ttc, while trying to get everything done for getting licensed for foster care and adopting our neice's 2 1/2 month old son..hopefully by august.

Good morning all! Thank you all so much for your kind words. I certainly didn't feel very good or strong going through the whole process, but in some ways I think it makes me more motivated to make our forever baby happen.

Hope - glad you finally got through that process. I just went through something very similar in January and I was shocked how "stuff" just came pouring out. I wasn't as strong as you through, as I almost passed out from all the blood and DH had to do the "collecting." It was awful! I still ended up having to have a D&C the next day to get the rest of the tissue that had not passed. I was about 10 weeks when that happened.

Like Nikki said - the NTNP break is nice and honestly, after the 5 month break I took this time after my loss, I really think your body needs it. Last year I was in and out of pregnancies almost the whole year!

Is is a little surprising! I think I was lucky, because I didn't really have a pouring or gush happen like a lot of other women. Mine was more like a really, really heavy period, which I was thankful for, except that it had me changing pads every 2-3 hours (mainly for comfort), ugh!

I'm hearing your on the break thing. I think my body probably needs a break too. I've been pregnant for 7 months in the last year...with nothing to show for it! I am starting to come to terms with the idea of waiting, though it is hard to do after being so determined to make it happen asap!

Hope, I'm so sorry you are going through your mc, I hope you are on the road to recovery now. I really panicked when I passed mine before, I had this horrid feeling of not knowing what to do both times. You have been really strong

I hope everyone else is well? I'm cd9 with a bit of a rise today. Hmm wonder if I'll ov early this time? Who knows. I got my pre-seed through, will give that a whirl this week!

Thank you Sooperhans, your words mean a lot to me.

It sounds like you're close to O! We used pre-seed with 2 of our BFPs and I have a new tube waiting for us when we TTC again. I swear by that stuff. KMFX for yoU!

Hopestruck, you wrote about passing your baby beautifully - you are dealing with all the pain so well and I hope the worst is now over. Look after yourself as reality sets in and allow yourself to grieve as well if you need to

One thing that helped me when I passed my baby who had died at 8ish weeks was that most of the main chomosome bits are needed by 8/9 weeks and if baby is missing a vital bit, then the body will just stop the process - baby is perfect up until that point but just does have a bit it needs to go further. I never found out a reason for my MCs but as they were at different times, like yours I assumed that they were for different (possibly chromosomal) reasons, and therefore probably just bad luck. As you will be tested, I hope you get some answers, but if you don't, take hope that your body is working with you to create that perfect baby one day soon

Thanks so much Ladyfog, I really appreciate your kind words . That is super interesting about the developmental bit. I hadn't thought about that before. Hopefully I'll get a descriptive lab report back that can tell me a bit more about what happened with this one. Part of me hopes for no answers (i.e. nothing's "wrong"), but the other part is hoping that there is something with a simple fix! haha. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to get answers, but I'm encouraging to see that you are well on your way with this little one! Did you doctor put you on anything "precautionary"? (e.g. progesterone or baby aspirin?)

Would you all believe that it's SNOWING where I live? We just moved from Vancouver (Canada) to a northern city, and I am in complete disbelief. I should be sitting on a patio by now!

 

[ayclobes]

hopestruck - I also had a mmc in november, i was close to 9w, but baby stopped growing at 6w+4 due to a chromosomal abnormality--baby developed an extra 13 chromosome. I understand where you were/are coming from though

 

[Dani402]

Neversaynever -- I just read your first post (I haven't read the rest of the thread) and saw on your signature that you're expecting -- CONGRATULATIONS! So glad it is working out for you!

Hopestruck -- I hope things begin working out for you...maybe NPNT for a bit and get a surprise

 

[BeachChica]

Sooper- it's hard to tell when your going to O until you get a couple good months of charting under your belt. Last month seemed like an unusually long month for you. Make sure you are BDing every other day at least until FF shows crosshairs (which will be 3DPO). Are you taking progesterone this cycle too?

Wookie - you chart looks good too but keep BDing for a couple more days just in case that temperature spike is not O. FX!!!!

I'll be stalking your charts ladies!!!

Lexi- how did your appt go today? Sorry you are not feeling well.

Ayclo- I just picked up a regular BBT thermometer from Target for about $10. I don't think you need anything fancy, just make sure it's a BBT one as they are more sensitive.

Hello to everyone else :wave:

AFM- I think I am finally coming to the tail end of my cold. I saw a doctor on Monday for some meds and I finally got some decent Sleep last night. My Temps have been crazy though this month and FF took away my crosshairs so I am not sure if I really O'd. Well see if AF shows up in the next couple days

 

[hopestruck]

Haha thanks Dani! I actually kind of fear NTNP as I seem to get pregnant really easily. I first got preg after ONE time NTNP. Last pregnancy happened from BDing 4 days before O. Haha. It would be a blessing if only I could hang onto those dear babies!

 

[ayclobes]

This is from a test i took yesterday, i thought i seen something yesterday..so i took a pic, and just got around to editing. This is original pic..i feel like i see something!

[hopestruck]

I totally see something!!!

 

[ayclobes]

I totally see something!!!

ahhhh! so im not crazy?! lol. dh said he could see it..but it was so faint! i have zero idea when i actually o'd..so im probably early?

 

[hopestruck]

Well, a line is a line, but I would re-test to be sure. When I first saw it (tiny!) on my phone, I could clearly see a faint line. But now on the computer, it is a bit tougher to see. The only answer is to try, try again! We'll see how it looks tomorrow morning or the day after. Fingers crossed!

 

[Sooperhans]

Hi Ayclobes, I use one by Babymad (or babymed but I think it's Babymad, unless it's just me) and it was about a fiver on amazon. It's done me well so far. Although I've just seen your latest post and you may not need a bbt! I can see a teeny flash of colour, pls re-test today and report back! GL!! x
Under what circumstances are you fostering/adopting your neice's little boy? Are they lots and lots of procedures to go through? Hope it isn't too stressful whilst you ttc x

Wookie, your chart is looking good! I hope your temp continues to rise and the bd'ing pays off for you this month and that the Clomid you are taking helps you

Thank you Hope and I hope you are feeling ok today and resting up Well first use of pre-seed done and thankfully only used a bit, thanks for the tipoff. Any more and one of us would have slid off the bed, haha sorry tmi...just hoping it gives all the swimmers an extra helping hand to make it to the right place, I figured it can't hurt. Although I couldn't really get it in the syringe thing properly, might ditch those along the way!

Thanks Beach, I know - I'm still ttc'ing a bit blind this month, but will like you say continue to bd every couple of days and get on it once I see the beginnings of O evidence! Glad you got some good sleep and coming out of this crappy cold you've had. Where are we in the holiday countdown? I'm getting excited for you! And yes pls stalk my chart, any help is v welcome!*On cd12 you then had 3 consecutive temp rises, would that not have been O then?

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Neversaynever]

Just passing by to say to everyone

Hope...sorry you found yourself here..fab bunch of ladies in here

Beach..glad the colds buggered off...

Lexi...lovely lines chick

Lady...do we get a bump shot in a spoiler?

Sooper...How're you doing?

Bum...crap with remembering my own name let alone anyone else's

Sending you all and

XxX

 

[wookie130]

Yeah, I do believe I ovulated on CD 15, as my temp is still up...one more temp, and FF should give me crosshairs, I'm thinking. I got my digi smiley on CD 14 @ 3:00 p.m., we bd'ed around 9:30 p.m., and then on CD 15 around 6:00 p.m. The next morning, my CBFM test stick showed a barely there LH line, and my temp had spiked. So, I think I'm pretty safe in luteal phase...perhaps 2 dpo? Tomorrow I start my progesterone cream, and Monday, I get my progesterone drawn.

 

[notoptimistic]

Wookie - It seems like a lot of people do the OPK test again the days following their first positive opk test. I'm thinking of doing that too. Good luck with your TWW!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks NSN, I'm alright thanks...I'm in the hopeful stage where I'm hoping this month will be the month! Fx'd and will certainly do all we can to try...

How are you feeling? How far gone are you? Would you mind if I read your journal to keep up with your news?

Good luck Wookie!! Got everything crossed for you

Ooh yeah pls send in a bump shot Lady

Lexi how are you? Xx
