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

[Nicki123]

Nicki we will have to be SMEP buddies, have you tried this plan before? I am finding it alot of effort but I do feel like I have a better chance because I know exactly where I am, I'm not feeling confident this cycle though, especially as I have so much weight to lose xx

Hey thurl that sounds good, here's to being SMEP buddies! I had never heard of it before coming on B&B but had been roughly BDing every other day day when we were ttc so I think had been doing a variation of it It does sound like hard work at times (especially on those dreary mid-week nights after a long day at work when you just want an early night!) but me and DH have not been ttc since the last MC in August last year so he has had a long enough break from scheduled ! So I am hoping he will enjoy it for a few months before tiring out. I'll let you know how it goes and I hope it goes well for you too x

 

[thurl30]

Well doing the SMEP this cycle is the first time I have ever known my DH to not be in the mood for BD'ing haha the other night I was like come on we have to, and he was like I'm tired, it was previously the other way round I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but here is hoping that this year is our year xx

Remember that if you're doing SMEP, you can have a quickie every now and then, save your energies and mix it up a bit! - we used to fit one if before Eastenders if we were both knackered

Patiently, I am sorry you are down, it's hard when you want a pregnancy and don't get your wish and then findout someone close is expecting :hugs

Beachchica, so sorry AF is not here yet, hopefully she comes soon for you

Lexi, you know your body hon, but I am soooo hoping you are wrong and everything is ok. I hope you get your scan early so you can have peace of mind

Wookie, LOL ok you are OUT I like your mentalitym just stay opstimistic, a fresh cycle means a new chance, I wish we could have a new cycle every 2 weeks

Sooper, no freaking luck!! I am aggrevated, I think I O'ed around CD 13-14, I can kinda see a trend but FF is not cooperating!!! Ughh! Ou may have O'ed on CD 10 or !$ from what I see

Thurl, I never had issues till this month, I don't know I hope you have better luck

Nicki, your break is almost over

Lady, aww that's so sweet that you got some of your old baby clothes!!!!

AFM, I am so distraught over FF! I haven't started progesterone and not going to until I get a confirmed date I made an appt with my doc for Friday, I will go in the morning, I've asked for them to check my progesterone level and told them I may not be ovulating strong enough, so I am going to ask to be put on Clomid... Hopefully that helps me, the tests they ran on me all came back normal so I don't know what is up with my body!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey everyone, hope oh's are being cooperative with smep approaches! Hope everyone has a great new cycle and there are bfp after bfps very soon....

Patiently - if your body isn't recovered with your hcg dropping right down (what's your latest level?) then I don't think it would take anyway? Seek medical advice if you feel like you need it but i would guess you are ok in that respect. As for your emotional wellbeing, yes please do seek a new counsellor and I hope you get a new appt soon. Were your work ok? Will you take more time? I hope the situation improves for you v soon

Lexi how are you? I've been wondering today how you are getting on and I hope you have a v similar experience to Lady....that's so cute you have got clothes from your childhood still x

Beach, any sign of AF after your cramping?

Don't think any of us are FF fans this month? My crosshairs are still on, so I have still had the questionable ov this month. Have had a sore throat all day and acid indigestion...not that I'm trying to symptom spot, but I do wonder what's going on....

Anyway, phew to first day back at work being over!! Xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh and Emme about the progesterone, what cd are you now? When I hadn't shown ov at cd19 last month, my doc said to start from cd20 anyway and it didn't suppress my ov or AF...wonder what they will say on Fri? I have started prog for this cycle too.....x

 

[Emmediva]

Oh and Emme about the progesterone, what cd are you now? When I hadn't shown ov at cd19 last month, my doc said to start from cd20 anyway and it didn't suppress my ov or AF...wonder what they will say on Fri? I have started prog for this cycle too.....x

I'm on CD 20 and FF finally added some broken up crosshairs, hmmm, I think I O'ed on CD 13 but whatever, I haven't started progesterone, I don't know if I should since I want to get tested on Friday? what do you suggest?

 

[BeachChica]

Sooper – what caused your doc to put you on the progesterone…. The losses? I just noticed that your temps are not that much higher in the 2nd half of the month so its good that you are on them. I think this might also be causing you some trouble in detecting O. Next time you go to the doc you should print out and show them your chart.

I leave for Spain in 9 days!!! Eeeeek! I am getting so excited. Last night I started laying out some piles, making lists and doing some ironing.

Thurl – if you have any charting questions, feel free to ask. Lots of girls chart on here. I think you should just give it a go and we’ll help you through it!!!

Patiently – I hope the broken condom still held enough where you won’t have to worry. But you know what, if its meant to be it will happen and I really feel everything will be fine. You deserve something good to happen!!! I really think the counseling will be good for you and like the others said, maybe you can take a leave of absence from work…?

Lady – you are almost 32 weeks!!! Yeah!!!! That’s great about the baby clothes!!!

Emme – good luck at the docs. It does look like O on CD 12 but then with that drop its hard to tell for sure. I would check with your doc about the progesterone (oh and maybe take a print out of your chart with you) My doc always likes to see mine.

AFM - the stupid witch has not shown up yet. I have no idea what her problem is

 

[Sooperhans]

Emme - wouldn't like to say to start taking it if there are other considerations to make - can you get a doc tel appt tomorrow, explain the situation and see what they say? That's what I did and the doc told me just to start taking it.

Beach, I don't know about my first loss as it was a mmc, but with the 2nd I went in with twinges and had the 48hr hcg and progesterone blood test. It was on the first blood that they said it was low. What do you think the post ov low readings mean? Can it signify low prog then? This month has been strange....

That's so exciting, you'll LOVE Spain! People are very easy going and laid back and the food is lush! So excited for you...holiday countdown, whoop whoop!!

 

[lexi374]

Soop and Emme sorry ff is being a pain this month, i hope things become clearer soon and you get your bfps!

Beach have a fantastic trip im jealous!

Thurl good luck with smep! And as lady said quickies are good sometimes!

Patiently i hope you will be ok with that 1 accident, chances are you will be. Big

afm i went to the gp today to ask for a scan this week she said they wont usually see people unless bleeding and cramping! anyway i explained the loss of symptoms since sun, and that i never get pest 6 weeks, that 2 have been missed miscarriages and im on prog so probably wont bleed anyway!

She said shed try and get back to me, she rang when i was on the way home and said they cant see me til mon! I really wanted to know this week!

Anyway ive emailed prof q and filled her in and said regardless of the outcome theres no point in me seeing her mon aswell, if all ok maybe i can see her a week later and if not i expect they will rescan me to confirm.

My heads banging i need to try and chill ive really stressed myself out the last couple of days. x

 

[Sooperhans]

Lexi you poor thing That's shit you can't go earlier than Mon, I find it hard to believe that they have absolutely nothing until then, even if it meant a wait beforehand. Still, if you don't have to travel that'll be good...what would you be on Mon, 7 weeks by then? I so so so hope you see a hb hun, I hate the wait but hopefully it'll all be worth it very soon xxx

 

[Ladyfog]

Lexi, try to relax and I still have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. I'm hoping that you get happy news on Monday

Beach - yay for your holiday in 9 days! So exciting. Hope AF turns up before then so you can get her out of the way...

Patiently

Hi everyone else and hope you've all had a good first day back after the BH . Being off yesterday's put me all out of kilter - we've got our first NTC class tomorrow and I'm paranoid I'm going to forget as I keep thinking today is Monday!!

 

[thurl30]

Hi Soop, my OH has been very co-operative, until now, he woke up with flu this morning so he is now totally out of action for the next few days doh! I still haven't had a pos opk anyway. Fingers crossed for you this month xx

Beach thanks for the encouragement, I am definately going to give charting a go next cycle, you will probably regret offering help I reckon I will be asking questions all the time! Great to hear you are going to get away to Spain, I love the packing bit I spend ages getting my stuff all sorted xx

Lexi thanks for the luck, I'm going to need it now that OH has flu, why does he have to get ill right in the middle of my cycle??!! (bless him I am sympathetic really ) Sorry to hear you are feeling stressed, only a few more days to wait though, just focus on Monday and it will be here before you know it, I have everything crossed for you xx

 

[lexi374]

Ah thurl youve got more sympathy than me id make him do it anyway lol!

Thanks lady and soop, yep ill be 7+2ish so ill def know by then if all is ok or not, fx,fx,fx!!!
And yeah hard to believe they have nothing before then!!! Grrrr!! They like torturing people!

 

[thurl30]

Lexi he did say "we will still do it" and he looked at me with his bright red face, glazed eyes and runny nose! I was like erm no!

 

[lexi374]

10 out of 10 for thinking about it bless him!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Bloody flu Thurl...Boooooooooo!!! If you can turn a blind eye to the snot (maybe turn the light out) then go for it and GL, lol! I still hope you catch the egg this month xx

Countdown to Monday then Lexi...all my good luck vibes and best wishes as well as coming your way xxx

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi, so sorry to hear you can't get in till Monday! That sucks, you are in my thoughts, I hope all is ok, and this is just a break before all the symptoms, morning sickness come back.

 

[BeachChica]

OMgosh girls!!! Lets start the P A R T Y... After 36 freaking days, I just went to the bathroom about an hour ago and it looks like the bitch is on her way!!!
I had some red blood when I wipe (sorry TMI). I am hoping it gets heavier!!! ugh!!! So it looks like this would be my schedule this month if my body cooperates:
I leave on my trip in 9 days (May 17th).
It looks like O would be about the 24th
I would be due for AF about the 5th (based on a 29 day cycle).
So I should be able to drink it up while in Barcelona, get prego when I get on the ship on the 23rd (FX), try to not think about my TWW and be ready to test when I get back!!!! Whaddya think???

Sooper - when my doc saw my chart he mentioned that the higher temps during the LP could mean good progesterone levels. I did test low for it last time so I will definitely be on it 3DPO just to see if it helps with my next pregnancy. I would definitely have them look at your chart to see what they think. I always like to bring mine and my doc likes to look at it. It also gives me the opportunity to ask questions about dips etc during the month to see what they think.

Lexi - that sucks you can't get in until Monday. Maybe you should have mentioned that you are having some cramping.

Thurl - hope you can still squeeze some out of your OH. Tell him it will make him feel better. And show up to bed in your smallest nighty!!!

Emme - I would be happy to help with your chart. Its great when you have people stalking and helping to analyze. Sometimes its hard to tell what is going on with our bodies!! Any extra help trying to figure it out is always good!!!

Well better go start doing more packing and ironing. I don't know how I'll ever get my suitcase under 50 lbs!!!???

 

[wookie130]

Beach, how WONDERFUL!!! Come on, AF...please be it!!!!!!!!
