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

Soop sorry AF came but im hoping June will be a good month for us! Like i said you could be just weeks away from a bfp! :dust: to you for next cycle! xx
 
soop - Sorry about your af coming too. Hope next month works for us. I was referred to a specialist this past January (an RE) who did a battery of tests on me. He took lots of blood (about 20 viles), did a day 3 ultrasound, and an hsg, and a sperm analysis on my husband. I also had previously had a day 3 fsh/estadiol test with my regular obgyn. He basically covered everything they usually test for when investigating causes for both recurrent miscarriage and 1+ year of trying without getting pregnant. Some of the tests overlapped. Everything came back normal so we have a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. He did tell me that people with long cycles (mine have always been between 36 and 41 days long) tend to have more trouble getting pregnant for some unexplained reason and it isn't just that they have fewer chances per year to try.
 
Thank you Patiently and I hope so! It would be just great if June worked out for everyone.

Notop, sorry I didn't realise that you had had so many tests done, "unexplained fertility" is such a horrid term. Will they revisit and can they try ivf if it continues? I hope it happens naturally for you in June :hugs:

Afm, AF is in full swing. Came on quite heavy and ended up getting up in the night with it. *tmi alert* I passed quite a large clot in the night, I'd say not far off the size of half a golf ball - the same sort of diameter but not as deep, iykwim? Freaked me out quite a bit and I didn't know what to think. It seemed quite tissue like and I wonder if it's something that should have come away from one of my mcs? I don't usually get clots in my AF. Has anyone else had it? And has that stopped ms from conceiving in wondering? If It'a come away and assuming there's nothing left, I'm hoping June will be the month....

Hope you are all well today xxx
 
sooper - well, I've been doing clomid/iui cycles and the doctor told us that if the second clomid/iui cycle failed (which is did) we should come in and talk to him about our options. I couldn't get an appointment however until June 8th, so I spoke to the nurse who told me I could likely do a third clomid/iui in the meanwhile. She still needs to confirm with the doctor that it's fine (insurance has already approved - they approved three cycles up front). Hopefully she calls me soon with confirmation because I would need to start the clomid on thursday. I can't wait until June 8th..I am curious what my options will be ...what his recommendation will be ..I am hoping to go right to ivf if this clomid/iui cycle failes. I hope that's his recommendation. I don't want to drag things out any longer and I am terrified of needles. If I am going to start injecting myself, I'd rather it be for ivf and not another iui.
 
:hi: everyone

How are you all doing this week? xx

Soop sorry to hear you have af, *tmi coming up!* I do get regular bits in my af, but not that size, I did get more of them after my last miscarriage so you could be right, it's quite normal though I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about xx

afm I'm still feeling a bit rubbish, this girl at work who is 3 weeks ahead of my first pregnancy is getting really big now, and she keeps making it really known that she is pregnant, I know she is excited and I would feel the same if I was her, but that combined with my af is a recipe for grumpiness! Ok so rant over, on the plus side I lost another 2lb this week (my weigh in was tonight), so that's 1 stone 3.5lbs in the last 5 weeks :happydance:

I have everything crossed that June is going to be the month for us all :) :dust: for everyone xx
 
Hi everyone :hi:

I've been lurking a bit, but have been too tired/busy to post much so sorry I haven't been around to offer you all my support.

Lexi/Emme - glad things are still going well. Lexi I was so so happy to hear that your scan was OK - I remember that feeling myself and the relief when you find out that there really is a baby there after all :happydance:.

My advice to you both is to try your best to enjoy every moment you can and push your worries aside whenever you can. There's nothing that you can do if it goes wrong but you will have wasted a precious time with your growing babies if you spend all your time worrying. Don't get me wrong, I still have moments when I worry as every pregnant woman does, but just try to relax and enjoy the ride!

Thurl - sorry AF is getting you down. It's great that you are having regular cycles, and you will catch the egg eventually. I have really regular cycles but it's taken me a few months to get pregnant every time so try not to feel too down heartened :hugs: Having regular cycles may well improve you're chances so just keep on going and you'll get there!!

Meandrod - welcome, these ladies are great and will offer you lot sof support :hugs:

KMP - well done one getting through the baby shower :hugs:

Soop - sorry AF arrived, but you will get there in the end :hugs:

Patiently and Nicki - I'm counting the days for both of you!

Hi to anyone I've missed and hope you're all well. :flower:

AFM, I'm fine - a bit tired and grumpy if I'm honest but OK :shrug:. I've developed puffy ankles and balloon feet over the last few days but I guess that's what you get for being almost 8 months pregnant! Still, I'm very grateful for having my little lady growing healthily and I'm really looking forward to meeting her soon. DH has started to enjoy the NCT classes after making all that fuss at the start of the course which is a bonus too - we've got another class tomorrow night. I finished the nursery at the weekend too so will post some pictures up for you all soon too - we've just about got everything we need so if she turns up early I'll be ready!
 
Patiently, Soop, Thurl and KMP, rooting you ladies on for June!!!

Notoptomistic, I hope the next IUI is successful for you.

Lexi, I hope all is ok chick, hope the symptoms aren't to bad and beanie is growing :hugs:

Ladyfog, thanks so much for your words, you are almost at the finish line! Yay!!

I'm on my iPhone so sorry if I forgot anyone :hugs: to all

AFM, I went and got another Beta today, I got a call after the office was closed. HCG came back at 1325, I couldn't get the progesterone number because the call was dropped :dohh: but I got some worrying news... The nurse told me my progesterone level dropped and the doctor wanted me to take Prometrium, well I'm already taking it! :dohh: I'm taking 200mg orally at night time, but well obviously it's not enough! The nurse said that that was fine and after the call was dropped I couldn't call back to ask more questions but I will tomorrow. I'm going to try to get Progesterone vaginal suppositories, I've read it's best absorbed that way vs orally. I'm worried though, I know I lost my first baby because of the Progesterone... :cry: I took the Prometrium vaginally tonight, I've read it absorbs better since it doesn't have to be digested... Pray for me please.
 
Notop, I see...I hope your third round of Clomid/iui gets approved today and wouldn't it be fantastic if you got your bfp without further procedures, otherwise it would be great to get the ok to go onto the ivf route but will there be a long waiting list? I wish you lots of luck and you're really brave for injecting yourself when you are so scared of needles. What women have to do, eh? Big :hug: and :dust: to you...

Lady - lovely to hear from you as ever and I bet the lovely weather of the last couple of days isn't going to help your ankles! Lots of feet up and when you're at home maybe a cold water soak will ease the discomfort. I'm glad hb is getting into the nct classes, are you finding them useful? Would you say they are worth the extra money? Soooo exciting that the nursery is done; yes pls, pics!!! X

Lexi, I hope you are ok hun? :hugs:

Emme, did they say how much had your prog dropped? It's good you have gone to the suppositories right away, are you getting re-tested soon? I'm thinking of you and hoping for the very best for you, take it easy and let us know how you get on xxx
 
Hi Emme, thinking of you, you really don't need all this stuff to worry about. Fx your levels go up. :hugs:

Hello everyone else - flying visit as my iPhone is playing up today but wanted to check in. I'm 8dpo and not a single symptom so not feeling optimistic...
 
Best of luck, Emme. I'd probably start slapping on some natural progesterone (USP) cream as well on top of the Prometrium...sticking it your hooha was actually a good move, however.
 
Oh, Emme, try taking a B-50 complex as well...the B6 may help you sustain better progesterone levels. I take one with my prenatal!
 
Hey lovely ladies.

Emme fxed for you hope that your pro numbers go up sticky :dust: to you hun

Lexi how are you?

Soop how are you feeling? Im sorry hun i dont know anything about blood clots even the only time ive really had any was during the ectopic pregnancy and that was only one...Hope its not anything to worry about and that its just your body's way of being in tip top shape for a BFP.

notop i hope you are lucky on clomid, just to reassure you i did get my bfp on my third round so FXed and :dust: to you

Nikki its always the months that you dont have any symptoms that are BFP lol.. i hope this is the case for you hun. When are you going to test? :dust: to you also

Thurl hope you are ok :hug: its really hard when someones pregnancy is so close to what yours wouldve been. Hopefully soon you will be expecting too so you can have your own excitement. Thats fab on the weightloss too! Well done you!

Lady happy 34 weeks!!

AFM my chart is everywhere. I give up trying to interpret it. FF says i o'd cd 29 after my op but im not so sure...i know the last two nights i have woken up half an hour before my time and realised my mouth was open, dont know if that makes a difference. Argh i just want my body to go back to normal. My ttc date is in 2 weeks 6 days so hopefully AF will come within that time so i wont have to push my ttc date back. Argh im so frustrated! Just want to at least be in the race again. Keep getting quick sharp cramping pains too which is making me think i have ovulated. Feel free to have a look at my chart and see if you can interpret it better. Hope everyone is enjoying the sun! xxx
 
Patiently ive had a look at your chart and i havent got a clue! :dohh:

Im hoping af makes an appearance so you can get back to normal and get on with it! :hugs:

Emme dont panic! Firstly stop temping you will drive yourself insane, and as for prog yes it is def better to get pessaries, you can insert them vaginally or up your bottom which ever you prefer and they are absorbed better that way. Speak to your doc and ask about doing them twice a day. :hugs:

Lady great to hear from you hun, i bet you are not loving this heat, thinking of you, relax and keep cool. :hugs:

Soop not to sure about the clot, but if its your body having a clear out, then thats a good thing. FX for this month! :hugs: :thumbup:

Thurl its so hard isnt it? Ive 2 people i work with due in sept/oct and its all i hear about at work. :hugs:

Nsn how you going girl? :hugs:

Meandrod welcome im sorry you find yourself here. :hugs:

So fx for june bfps for thurl, notoptimistic, patiently, nikki (if you are not lucky this month!), wookie, soop, kmp, did i miss anyone?? Sorry if i did! :hugs:
:dust::dust::hugs:

afm still tired, still constipated, not really much to say just plodding through the days til monday. :shrug: xxx
 
Thanks girls, yes I hope it was flushing everything out and getting ready for another round. It's been weird this month - heavy all of a sudden and then barely there. Like it can't quite make up its mind.

Patiently, your temps are confusing aren't they? They haven't raised v much post o, you haven't reported any ewcm, were the twinges you mentioned happening yday? Maybe it's happening now instead of cd29. Will you be going back on Clomid once you are ttc?

Lady, I bet you aren't feeling great, I hope the weather isn't unbearable for you. Can't remember if I asked but are you off on maternity leave soon? You can then enjoy putting your feet up, lovely! Esp if you have the nursery ready :hugs:

Lexi, oh bless that's a long time to be constipated...are you eating extra fibre or anything to get it moving? I hope it's not too uncomfortable :hugs:

Thurl, fantastic on the weight loss! Is that through WW? :thumbsup:

Emme any news? Good advice from Lexi about double doses of progesterone, I do hope your docs are helping you and that you aren't panicking, everything crossed for you.

How's everyone else? Kmp, Wookie, never, meandrod, Nicki....xxx
 
Well, CD 14 here, and got my peak on my monitor and a smiley digi opk this morning! This is good, because we dtd last night...we'll give it another go tonight, and I should ovulate tomorrow, God willing.
 
emme - thanks! I hope you are doing ok ...

soop - Thanks for the support! There's no waitlist for ivf where I live. I am in Boston. I am also very fortunate to live in Massachusetts because Massachusetts mandates infertility insurance coverage. The mandates requires insurance companies to offer or provide coverage for IVF costs and fertility treatment.
 
Wookie - yay and GL!! Hope you catch the egg this month :hugs:

NotOp - anytime! That's fantastic about ivf, I hope you get transferred if it doesn't work out this month. Did you get the Clomid/iui approved to use?

How's everyone else? Phew it's hot! Sitting on a hot train wishing I was at home. Hb is on a golf day through work - lucky thing has been outside all day, playing 36 holes! He will be one hot and tired hb, lol. I'm going to enjoy my garden when I do get back, ah lovely. AF seems to have buggered off, as of today.....xxx
 
soop- Yep, the nurse called me and told me my doctor approved, so I will start the clomid tonight. Just need to remember to pick it up at the pharmacy after work! I also discussed with her, in general, what she thought the doctor might recommend next when I meet with him on June 8th. She told me she's not that familiar with insurance coverage issues (insurance coverage usually dictates what the doctor recommends, unfortunetely) but something in my records is supposedly indicating that my insurance company requires 2 or 3 rounds of injectables/iuis before covering ivf. That stinks! I've read the statistics online on iui's w/clomid vs iui's with injectables and it seems that the injectables barely increase success rates. In general, iuis (with or without injectibles) just don't have a very high success rate..it is something between 10-20 percent for people under 35. That's disappointing.
 
Patiently, I looked at your chart too and not a clue :shrug:

Lexi, Monday is just around the corner! Have everything crossed for you!

Sooper, now to catch that egg :hugs:

Notopt, that's great that you get IVF coverage!! The success rate for IUI's are low! I would've thought they would've been higher...

AFM, I need to keep track of my temps just in case I need it later... Praying hard that is not the case but I'm not too optimistic... I just went to the rest room awhile ago and had some spotting :cry: TMI alert, when I peed and wiped I saw pink, like urine mixed with blood, no cm on the tissue if that makes sense? I washed my hand and touched my cervix it's medium and soft and I got white creamy cm, no pink tint from what I could tell. I'm scared I'm losing this beanie too... I'm resting in bed and just inserted another Prometrium pill in my whooha, I hope it's not another miscarriage but I'm not optimistic at this point :nope: :cry: What else could it be? It's not like if it was brown tint... :shrug:
This morning I called the doctor an she was in surgery so I only got the nurse. I asked for my Tuesday progesterone level and she said 1887 which as she said is not too bad but it still dropped. Anyway I asked for another Beta and was turned down since I've had 3 already, she said they'd just wait till next Thursday, well I'm not sure if I'll make it now :cry: I also asked about Endometrin and she said she'd pass along the message to the doc. Im so scared y'all I didn't tell my OH anything about the spotting...
