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

[BeachChica]

Sooper - no sign of AF for me yet. That damn witch is really starting to piss me off!!!!!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

I'm not surprised Beach I hope the witch turns up for you very soon. You have been so patient this whole time, use that quality for a little while longer, it's a credit to you I hope AF is just around the corner to you hun

Afm, not quite the successful night/eve I was hoping for! Hb said enough, he was finding the pressure I was putting on us both too much and I burst into tears! We had a long talk and he said coming into summer he knows it's getting harder, and that he's wondering what would have been too. A girl at work who is lovely has her DD in July that was only a couple of weeks before me, I do look at her and think I'd be her size by now. Anyway, we looked through my chart and stats and just ended up having the h2h and no bd! Then today my temp rose but only slightly, and FF hasn't acknowledged it. So one more day and hopefully the rise will be higher. I feel like something is def happening, as I'm bloated, crampy and tired. Hmmmm.

Hope everyone is well? Xxx

Hi girls, How is everyone going today?
Thanks for your kind thoughts Sooperhans and Nikki. We are TTC again for a couple months now once we got the all clear. Makes it a bit harder as DH works away. We have been TTC for over 2 years.
Sooperhans it sure is hard seeing someone that was pregnant around the same time as you. I know the feeling. I was finding it really hard last month and crying a lot. I think i'm slowly accepting it. I hope you are coping ok. sending you hugs
I'm sorry for all your losses. It sure is HEARTBREAKING
It is great to see some other ladies on this thread are currently pregnant & going well. It gives me hope that my turn will come too.
Beachchica i hope the witch comes soon. It sure is frustrating!! I'm impatiently waiting for mine aswell!!

 

[Emmediva]

how is everyone, I've been MIA but I am back

Lexi, hurray for a good scan!!!! Lil beani is snuggling in and getting ready to grow

Sooper, It's hard, and especially for us that have been lttc you'll get through this rough spot, fingers crossed this is the month!!!

BeachChica, when you want the to rear her ugly head she doesn't and when you don't want her to she does! hoping she gets here quick for you.

Wookie130, the progesterone level is great!!! Fingers crossed you get a BFP this month!!

Patiently, hope all is ok.

Ladyfog, can't wait to see pics of your nursery! How exciting!!

Thurl30, how are you doing?

Nicki123, congrats on a wonderful review!

Welcome CeeCee & Misswish, we are all here for you : hugs:

AFM I am on CD15 today and pretty sure I O'ed on CD 13 or CD14, my nipples have been feeling slightly sore yesterday afternoon and today, and I had OV pressure/pain on those days... FF has not registered OV yet though, so we shall see. On a side note, I emailed the manager that interviewed me last Thursday on Tuesday around 3:50 p.m., and got no answer, I thought I was totally out especially after the incident with the HR rep lol, anyway how about yesterday at 6:35 I get an email from the manager, stating they made a decision and would like to extend an offer to me!!!! I am so happy!!!! She said in the emai, the HR rep would call me today to discuss the next steps!! Well this morning, I emailed the manager and thanked her for the opportunity, and told her I would be looking forward to the HR Reps call, and she replied, she is looking forward to working with me!

 

[patiently]

Emma yayyyyy!!! congrats hun! Im so glad! Hopefully this month will be your lucky month and you will get your bfp too! FXed for you. Hope all goes well in your new job. Congrats again.

Soop i hope ff puts in the crosshairs. Dont worry about not bd yesterday i had the same issue with my OH and i think its easy for us to put pressure on them. Do you remember the stress i was putting him under. Its good you had a heart to heart. And tbh when i conceived last time i didnt bd for two days and still caught the egg. Remember it only takes one swimmer. GL hope this is your month and you certainly get an A for effort.

Beach hope AF comes soon. Im also waiting for my first AF wish she'd hurry! Are you temping?

Lexi how are you hun? hope all is well...xx

Nikki congrats on your review... xx

Hi to everyone else.

 

[patiently]

btw im not sure if anyone has taken tcm but do you know if you can take it with folic acid too and did it help? Please, i need positivity so if no one agrees with tcm dont feel obliged to answer. Hope that doesnt get taken in the wrong way i mean it in the nicest way possible.

 

[lexi374]

Hi I'm new on here. Is it too late to join. I'm looking for some buddies to talk to in similar situation. I've had 4 miscarriages, 3 last year. Specialist have done lots of tests on hubby & I but haven't found anything wrong. They have suggested low dose aspirin which I'm taking. Also suggested progesterone pessaries. Is anyone esle taking these? Last year was a rollercoaster year. Wishing you all goodluck & hoping we get our beautiful babies soon

Welcome misswish sorry for your losses.

I am on progesterone pessaries, feel free to ask me any ?s x

Thurl thank you, how are you doing at the mo?

Patiently thinking of you xx

Emme thank you fx for you hun, did you get plenty bd in ? Big congrats on the job!

Soop im sorry you were upset last night but its good you and oh had a heart to heart, its happened a few times with us too and it clears the air. I hope oh will be able to bd a little more this month though incase you havent ovd yet, i guess we sometimes forget the pressure we put on them to.

Beach hope the witch gets here soon!!!!

Wookie any news?

Nsn enjoy your wedding tomorrow hun!

Nikki yay well done

Lady

To anyone 1 else i forget sorry, my heads banging having a horrible week at work, we have people off and its just so busy!

Its our 4 year wedding anniversary today, dh is doing a nice meal and we will probably go out for dinner at the weekend, nothing too exciting as weve just spent loads on the house recently! x

 

[lexi374]

Patiently ive heard good things about them although my acupuncturist didnt offer me any, but dont think he was a fertility specialist.

You would think you could take them with folic acid as she knows you are going to be ttc.... Maybe check with her anyway? x

 

[thurl30]

Hi Emmediva, I am ok thanks, I feel much better now I am on a new cycle! How are things with you? xx

Hi Lexi, thing s are good thanks, I am trying the SMEP this month, I am going to perservere with the OPK's aswell, I started testing with them yesterday which is my CD10, but I think I ovulate quite late on, I am determined to find out when I ovulate though because that's going to be really helpful. I tried charting but that doesn't work for me, so the OPK's are my only hope! xx

Has anyone heard from Kat? I just wondered how she is getting on xx

 

[lexi374]

I think she has gone on her trip now but she saw the heartbeat before she went away.

You might want to use opks twice a day cos if you have a short surge you might miss it...... GL X

 

[thurl30]

Ah bless her, that's good then. I might test twice a day then, I hadn't thought of that, it's a bit of a pain at work though that's the only thing, but needs must x

 

[thurl30]

Oh I just saw it's your wedding anniversary today..congratulations x

 

[patiently]

Happy anniversary Lexi!! Hope all three of you (yourself, your OH and baby) have a lovely evening. Sorry its been busy at work for you, dont work too hard and do only what is required nothing more. lol..i hope you also have a fab weekend with your OH. Enjoy lovely xx

Thurl i second what lexi said test twice daily i couldve missed mine if i only tested once. If you dont mind me asking why doesnt charting work for you? GL this month though i hope you get your BFP! May will be a special month!

GL ladies bd, approaching ov, or in the tww!! Sticky to you all!!

 

[thurl30]

Thanks Patiently, hope you're doing ok? Charting didn't work because I am quite a light sleeper and have to get up to use the bathroom a couple of hours before I get up every day and the guidelines are that you need 4 hours undisturbed sleep, also I can't wake up the same time every day because I work shifts, so the time I take the temp can vary between quite a few hours x

 

[Nicki123]

Happy anniversary Lexi!

Emma big congrats on the new job that's awesome.

Thurl I can't chart either. I tried it for one month and the pressure of having to get 4 hours sleep a night made me sleep really badly. I have never been so tired as I was that month, constantly waking up in the night thinking 'is it time to temp yet'? So I'm with you in the non charting camp.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Misswish and Emme, I have everything crossed that our time will be soon and well done Emme on the job, that's great that when you thought it was out the door that they wanted you for the job! I hope the same is true for your ttc efforts xx Misswish, bless you 2 years is a long time to do anything, let alone this rollercoaster! Hope you don't have to go through the ups and downs of ttc for much longer.

Lexi happy anniversary hun! And yes it was good to have the heart to heart and yes I'll also be pushing for a bit more bd'ing, since I'm not sure about my temps yet! Hoping for a rise, I've been getting AF type symptoms so I hope that's it soon and I get my bfp! I've got such a bloated looking tum got I've half the month ATM, so I'm sure a few people think I already am!!

Thurl, I was the same at first with temping, then I had less to drink in the evenings, which is hard as I'm always thirsty! So now in the mornings I make myself wait, temp then run for the loo whilst drinking! It made me laugh as my hb said last night how about we have some mid week early morning bd'ing to change it up a bit, to which I reply that as a commuter who temps with an early morning weeing tendency, how will I fit any bd'ing in?? Plus I have to do my hair

 

[Sooperhans]

Hi Patiently, sorry I don't know about tcm...hope you can find out. Yeah I remember you saying about your oh saying it was too much bd'ing all the time under this pressure...I know we do it to ourselves and them but if you asked him previously to ttc if he could have it on tap I know what the answer would've been...Pah!

How are you? Xx

 

[Misswish]

Happy wedding anniversary to Lexi. That's fantastic. I hope you have a gr8 day. I'm also thrilled to see you are expecting. I hope you are coping well. Would b hard not to stress out. I wish you all the best & hope everything goes well. When did you start taking the progesterone. My doctor said to start just when I get a BFP.
Sooperhans the pressure of ttc sure is hard so days. I hope you are coping ok.Yeah I didn't realize it was going to be ongoing. When the last miscarriage happened on boxing day I felt like giving up & not even trying anymore, especially when my sister inlaw told me a couple weeks later that she was pregnant & they weren't planning it as she's having a cigarette. Then a week later she told me she couldn't b bothered with it & wasn't keeping it! I felt so angry! I've seen heard she is keeping the baby. I think I'm coping better now. I should have come on this thread earlier I could have used the support.
I haven't temp before but OPK. Hubby has been away & getting back soon so want Af so I can ttc this cycle. I think I might temp this cycle.

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh Misswish, that's awful about your SIL, clearly some people just don't know what they've got even when it all falls into their laps...when it happens to you I'm sure you'll make a great mum. Come on any time you like to rant and get things off your chest and we'll try our best to help Hope AF turns up for you and Beach v soon!

Well my temp has risen quite high today and them crosshairs are back...for about a week ago?? I'd be more inclined to think it has happened this week, I don't know what the system is basing it on?

Happy wedding day to Never! Xx

 

[Ladyfog]

Good morning

Hi again thurl - I'm a big believer in SMEP and used that roughly to get pregnant this time. Good luck this cylcle!

I was never any good with OPKs (I think my surges were super short and I wasn't disciplined enough to test when I should have!) and never tried temping - Soop, I always relied on the twinges and the EWCM so I say trust in your body's signals and don't worry too much about FF this month! If you're still unsure, BD every other day just in case and you'll catch the egg if you're going to

Happy wedding anniversary Lexi - I hope you had a lovely evening. Where do you reckon you'll go at the weekend?

Patiently time is flying for you, you'll be back to TTC before you know it

Emme - and well done

Misswish - That's rubbish about your SIL. Some people take things for granted. You will get your baby one day soon and make a fantastic mum GL for this cycle!

Hi and and to everyone else!

AFM didn't sleep between 3am and 6am! It's a mixture of not being able to get comfy and that feeling you get on Christmas morning when you can't sleep because your excited but also a bit concerned about cooking Christmas dinner - only it's not Christmas and I've still got 9 weeks until I get my present
