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

[Emmediva]

Sooper, I am liking the temp rise girl, but I do understand about being scared to see that blank space, I was expecting to see a blank space and lo and behold another line, you saw I was in total still am… I hope you get your BFP

Wookie, on taking your last Clomid pill, come on BFP!!

Patiently, how are you hun?

Notopt, Good luck, I hope you get your BFP this time around!!

Lexi, Symptoms are good! Baby is snuggling in for the nine months drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.

Thurl, When are you testing again?

Beach, yay for your vacation!!!! Hoping you’ll have a lil one in the bun as a stow away from the trip when you come back

to anyone I may have missed

AFM, I rang my doctor at 1:20 and left a message for them to call me back Why haven't they called yet!!! I need to know my results, I know this is not going to give me all the peace of mind but it's a start and if my progesterone is low, they may be able to give me another prescription for suppositories maybe, ughh I hate not knowing! I know it's early and the numbers should not be high but it would be nice to know what they are and then take another test and compare... Sigh... I am going to go
SN I did not know not drinking enough water could cause a miscarriage!! Here's the article, https://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/PEhydration.html drink up ladies... but stay away from too much caffeine, that increases the risk of miscarriage too, LORD!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Emme and I hope you get good results! Fx'd for you, interesting about the water/caffeine but I hope you are fine in every way xx

Thurl, Argh I've been taking pregnacare for 3 months, the same ones I've been getting bloody 40+ day cycles!!!! I've found a bnb thread called "Pregnacare conception tablets and missed period" and there's pages of people saying about delayed ovs and afs, bloody hell!!! This week I ran out and got a superdrug own brand, hmmm wonder if that'll be different. Something about b12 and iron that can delay things. I don't know...thought the supplements would make conception easier??? Xx

 

[Emmediva]

Ok y'all so I got my results back, HCG is at 98 and Progesterone level is at 1794, they said it was within the norm but want to repeat the test tomorrow morning at 8:00a.m. To see if they are increasing please God let this pregnancy progress normally...

Soop and Thurl, I'm sorry to hear you guys are having issues with those tablets.

 

[Sooperhans]

Yay for your levels Emme!! Are your hcg/progesterone numbers the right way around there? Thought the hcg would be the higher one.

I'm seriously wondering about these tabs, seems really weird that they could delay/harm the timings. Hmmmmm.

Good luck with tomorrow's test!!! Xx

 

[Emmediva]

I know Soop, my OB/GYN's lab calculates the numbers for progesterone like that, I know, totally weird I did ask if they were reading them to me correctly last time and she explained. According to the pregnancy calculator on American Pregnancy website I am just 3 weeks 6 days along today so the levels seem correct for HCG... I hope I get increasing levels tomorrow, that would make my weekend a lot better, even though I'll still worry...
Is Pregnacare like prenatal vitamins? Or is it like Fertility Aide?

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh I see...(I think!) Well everything crossed for a raise, it sounds good so far! Pregnacare have a whole range of vits, they market them for conception, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I've been on the conception ones....

 

[wookie130]

I take those Rainbow Light Once Daily prenatals, and I just LOVE them. You must eat something prior to taking them, though, as if I don't, I get really nauseous.

 

[lexi374]

I take pregnacare plus, the ones with omega 3, i dont think they have had any affect on my cycle though.

Yay emme fx for todays numbers.

 

[patiently]

Emme i think those numbers are good...hope you see a normal rise tomorrow.

Ladies when post o temps are low ans slowly rising does that mean low progesterone? i usually have high tems after o but the first cycle after my surgery is slightly misleading...or do you think being on clomid previous had an effect on my "normal" temps?

 

[Sooperhans]

Lexi,How are you? From what I've read, the "regular" ones are being reported as better; think it's more the conception one's that are linked to delays. I wonder why though! I switched to superdrug as their vits were about half the price and they seemed to contain similar things. Hopefully no delaying properties though!! The conception ones are supposedly causing spotting too, so I'm not sure what to think!

Patiently, yes I've seen that low post o temps can indicate low progesterone, I started to look when Beach commented on mine. Yours may take a cycle or so to settle down though? How are you feeling? Xx

 

[Nicki123]

Happy Friday everyone! I love Fridays nearly as much as the weekend itself

Good luck this cycle Wookie and fx clomid does the trick for you.

Soop, notoptomistic and anyone else testing soon, massive Fx for you! I want to see some more May s

Emme and Lexi, hope you ladies are managing to stay relatively chilled.

Happy holiday Beach! I love Spain ...

Thurl, I know B vits can lengthen cycles, they did for me but in a good way Cus I had spotting all through my LP which they stopped. But it's a bummer if you don't want them too cus it means less tries. I thought pregnacare were relatively low dose though, I had to take mega B supplements to notice any difference, but maybe I was just taking the regular ones.

Hello Patiently and anyone else! Enjoy your weekends.

I'm on 3dpo and although we only had one and am not getting my hopes up, a teeny bit of me is wondering what if we got lucky.

 

[Emmediva]

I got the second bloodtest results... how about the nurse calls me and asks what's up I called earlier and left a message for her to call me because when she asked me yesterday when my LMP was I said April 1, when indeed it was April 19, I was looking at April and CD1 anyway I cleared it up with her and she says thats better, and I asked for my blood test results from this morning, I am SOOO dreading hearing your levels have dropped or for her to tell me my levels are less than (94*2) and she said she didn't have them yet but would check for me, she found them, she forgot she asked for them to be rushed so she starts to tell me "your quant is at" and the darn call got dropped!!!! DAMN AT&T!! So there I am staring at the cell phone like an idiot willing her to call me back She called me back and my HCG is now at 272, which is awesome, it more than doubled! And my Progesterone is at 2,452, also went up I am feeling a little better although I know I am not out of the woods by a long shot, at least I can relax a little this weekend. I am praying so hard for God to let me keep this lil bean. I got so emotional I almost cried, but am at work so need to be strong...

Patiently, low rising temps after O does mean your progesterone is low... You can try taking Wild Yam root capsules or Progesterone cream to supplement naturally or ask your doctor. I asked mine and being that I'd had a previous mc, she put me on it, it doesn't hold up a mc if there's something wrong with the bean, but if nothing's wrong it will help you with the levels...

Nicki, it only takes one good luck!!! Fingers crossed you catch that egg.
How's everyone else doing? I feel like I'm hogging up this thread

 

[patiently]

Thanks everyone for your help. I dont actually think i have problems with progesterone as in my last two pregnancies one that was clomid induced...was 76 and one natural which was 50. So i was just wondering if maybe i haven't ovulated yet or if my temps are just taking really long to go up. Would anyone mind looking at my chart and telling me what you think?

Emme so happy to hear your numbers have more than doubled! Thats amazing! Hope this is your forever baby and at least now you have some reassurance. H&H 9 months to you.

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey everyone and happy weekend!! Nicki, I have my fingers crossed for your little one off...! Xx

Emme that is AMAZING! I am made up for you hun, I have a good feeling for you on this! So based on your lmp, how far along are you? Really excited for you, I'd have been squealing at the phone if it had cut out at such a crucial point in the convo!!!

Patiently, I've been studying your chart and although it's gradual, it is still rising. A rise is a rise! I hope they continue on the right path and that you get back to ttc v soon hun.

Afm, I've been a bit crampy today, no spotting or anything but funny twinges. Will test tomorrow and Sun, if necessary. I wonder what it's going to be.....xxx

 

[Emmediva]

Thanks for your well wishes Sooper, my lmp was April 19, so tomorrow I should officially be 4 weeks...
I hope those twinges mean you have a lil beanie implanting!!! I hope we all get to have our BFP not too far apart, all sticky beans. That would be awesome!
Good luck on your test tomorrow, you have lots of patience, I would've tested this afternoon

 

[Sooperhans]

You are very welcome and we are rooting for you here

Haha, we'll see! I would test more often but I think I'm starting to develop a fear of the things! I'll let you know....

 

[kmp]

Hi girls, well just when I thought I would be able to ttc again after surgery in March, I get an HSG on wednesday and I have to have another surgery a simpler procedure than last time, but I thought I would be trying when I O in 10 days so now I guess I'm out this month...The only positive is that they were able to get me in THIS monday so I don't have to wait till after my next period. So I hope, hope, hope, I can finally try in June. I can't take this much longer, I have had enough bad news this year to last the rest of my life. Not to mention that I just got a layoff notice from work today Why do bad things happen to good people? Sorry for the venting and to bum anyone out, but my dh started saying maybe we should wait to ttc until we found out about my job as I make more money them him. I am 32 I CAN'T wait anymore!! I guess I was a B**** cause I said I am getting pregnant when the dr gives me clearance with or without him. Once again sorry!

 

[Nicki123]

Hey kmp, no need to apologise for a little rant. That is what we are here for!
Sorry you plans for ttc this month have been thwarted, and that you have to have more surgery. But June is going to be a good month, I can feel it! Patiently will be back on the ttc wagon, as will I (assuming my one off bonk doesn't work this month ) so we can all go through it together. Things have to perk up for you soon.

There is never a right time to have a baby, my mum always said to me 'don't wait until you an afford it as you can NEVER afford it and you'll be waiting for ever'. Tell DH you are going to keep on trying and that you will just have to find a way to make it work. I hope the job thing works out for you, Fx and

 

[Sooperhans]

I'm so sorry about your surgery kmp and now your job too! I echo what Nicki said, June will be a good month for lots of us, think I'll be joining you, one more bfn this morning. Think one more test in a couple of days then I'm out. Had a good old cry about everything, I hope you feel better soon and the future looks more positive, good luck Witt your surgery xxx

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Soop how you doing? It's strange about the tabs isn't it? I do really think they could have had something to do with my 59 day cycle last month. I saw you had another bfn, I'm so sorry to hear this, but don't feel down we are all in this together and I feel really positive that we are all going to get there xx

Nicki thanks for the feedback on the tabs, it's interesting to read that they worked well for you. I'm reluctant to stop taking them because I actually feel really good and healthy at the moment, and I'm wondering whether it's because I am on these tabs, I am just hoping if I perservere then my cycles will just settle. How are you doing? xx

Emme this is great news, I have a good feeling about this one, atleast you have some peace of mind for the weekend xx

Lexi hope you are feeling ok xx

Hi KMP - don't apologise, venting is good fingers crossed that June is your month xx

Patiently how are you doing? I'm sorry I can't help you with temps and things at the moment because I haven't got a clue myself xx

to everyone else I have missed xx

AFM, I'm pretty confused but excited this morning, I have started bleeding, it looks like AF but it's painless, I'm just going to assume it's AF and celebrate this because I am on CD28!!! Since I have been ttc I haven't had a 28 day cycle, but I have longed for one, and finally this could be it It gives me hope that a BFP isn't far away.

What has everyone got planned for the weekend? xx
