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

[wookie130]

Sooper, I've been better, I guess. I'm just wrapping up my 2nd round of Clomid after my loss in February (which was technically my first cycle on Clomid, so really, my 3rd round of Clomid now), and I'm not pregnant. 12 dpo, and I'm getting BFN's. It totally sucks, and in all of the threads that I'm on, with the exception of this one, and a few random journals, I'm the last one standing in terms of getting another BFP. Everyone else seems to be getting knocked up.

I've got my support group tonight. Boy, do I need it.

hi everyone

hey thurl hope you are going well, thks NSN good luck this cycle, hi rookie and Beach Chica baby dust xx and super congrats ayclobes, i went throughout the whole evap line thing and in the end had to post online and was told to my surprise it was positive that was really weird, I am really happy for u

Thks niki, sooperhans, emmadiva, ladyfog CD6 today still have AF but seems to be lessening which must be a good sign so I feel much better about it thks again.

I am really curious to see if the mc changes my O time this cycle I can't seem to find any info on that online. I really hope I am more fertile this month and so fertile that hormones project across the Atlantic and we all get Big Big BFP's this cycle. xxx

Madeline - I am a die hard temper... Its so routine for me now. I actually feel bad if I go away and forget my thermometer so now I carry 2 of them LOL. If you click on my ticker you can see my chart. I have been O'ing usually between CD14-17 I have had some strange charts the last couple months after my MC so we'll see. Last month was my first month back to TTC as my doc wanted me to wait. Sorry if I missed your post, I have been on vacation and trying to catch up but what was the timing of your MC..? And how many have you had?

 

[lexi374]

Hi ladies im still reading everything though not posting as much, been knackered and had another cracking headache last night, had to go and lie down in bed!

Well my doppler arrived today, do you think i can find the bloody heartbeat! Ive tried 4 times and put it away for today, nsn rang and gave me a few tips, i thought on the last time i may have heard it for a couple of seconds... but it only went up to 141 and im sure it should be a bit faster, anyway gonna have another go sat. Started cutting down my steroids on tues, will take my last 1 when i have my scan on 18th.

Madeline welcome as the others have said expect the unexpected when it comes to periods after mc.

Beach welcome back hun glad you had a good time!

Soop sounds like you are doing all you can this month, i hope it pays off for you!

Patiently i hope you are feeling better that must have been really scary for you.

Lady arghhh 1 week left at work, its seems to have gone so quick for us!

Wookie i hope this is your month!

Thurl to

Nikki glad you had a great time away, it does us good to let our hair down.

Emme, ayclobes hope you ladies are doing ok and hanging in there!

Nsn thanks for the tips will keep you posted!

to anyone i missed xxx

Finding the HB with @ 10 weeks with a home doppler is NOT easy, and I'm sure others can attest to this, Lexi. Many a pregnant woman has panicked, thinking something was wrong, when really, the doppler WILL pick up the HB a lot easier once you're closer to 14 weeks. Don't fret!

 

[Ladyfog]

Just popping in quickly

Wookie, sorry you're feeling down I hope your support group tonight helps. It's horrible to feel that you're being left behind, but you will get your BFP soon.

Lexi - I have a 5lb baby in my tummy (kicking the doppler!) and it still took the MW a few moments to get a clear the HB today so please don't fret NSN is an expert though so hope her tips help eventually.

Madeline, my cycle was always 28 days and changed to 32 days after my 1st MC. The second didn't change my cycle at all but I think there were fewer hormones flying around for that one

Hi everyone else - and to you all.

Well, had my appt and everything is still going great - I'm measuring a little small but still in normal range and BP etc is just fine. Most excitingly, the MW said I'm partly engaged - they measure this in fifths and I'm 3 fifths already! It doesn't mean I'm going to go into labour any time soon, but it doesn't mean I won't either so it really feels like we're getting to the home stretch now!!!

 

[ayclobes]

I had my beta done @ 12dpo and came back at 23. I have not received a call from my RE's office about getting beta's repeated at all. At 12dpo, my progesterone came back at 15 ( closer to 16 i think). My new midwife (my main one is super booked) said nothing about my betas being low, so im not worried. My test have been getting darker too--still not worried. I think i'm going to use my last frer tomorrow morning! i know im pregnant but i love seeing those lines on frers! isnt the regular frer sensitivity of 50miu? am i right?

I talked to a girl and asked about her first beta at 12dpo, and hers was 28, so i dont feel bad lol. and she is due july 26!

 

[Madeline]

hi Beach Chica no worries hope you had a good break I mc'd at 5.5 wks. It was my first.

It really seems to vary from person to person. For me hcg levels were apparently fine, then they dropped quickly over a couple of days and my progesterone which was 145 dropped to 42 in a couple of days and I got depressed I think from the sudden drop and this coincided with an influenza. I always wondered if the serious flu could be connected but haven't had a chance to ask my gyno yet.


OMG you really are a die hard temper! Your charts are really disciplined. There appears to be some real variation but its interesting this month so far is following your cycle from Oct 2011 if i have read that right? I don't think i ever focused on how important that information could be. I am going to dedicate myself to temping as of tomoro.

Madeline xx

 

[Sooperhans]

Lady that is such good news that your check up was all fine and wooo engagement time for you! It's crazy thinking it could still be a little while...or tomorrow! It'll feel lovely when you leave work for the last time, and you can breathe a sigh of relief!

Thank you Lexi, I hope it pays off too...maybe one more bd tonight to hopefully seal the deal....my bbs are still sore, with tingly nips this morning. Hmmmm.....
I hope you don't panic and that you get to hear a hb very soon hun

Wookie, I hope your support group helped and I'm sorry you are getting BFNS. Just the word makes my heart sink for you I know it feels like everyone else is ahead of the race from your other threads but there are plenty in here at different stages and I so hope you report good news v soon

Madeleine, it's good that AF is easing off, I hope she buggers off soon!

Beach, as for o dates, I called last week and the weekend the prime time, judging from the significant ewcm I was getting. I got more than previous months, so I ran with it! Fx'd.....

Nicki hope you are ok, Thurl too and anyone else too xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh and ayc that's great about your betas! X

 

[dodgercpkl]

I'm just jumping in to put this in my bookmarks. I'll introduce myself and try to catch up a bit later.

 

[Nicki123]

Morning. Happy Friday!

Wookie, sorry it hasn't worked for you this month. It's horrible feeling left behind isn't it, I got my first bfp over 2 years ago and am still no further forward. My friends are now starting to have their second babies!! I know it's hard but I really try not to let the situation of others get to me because it has no bearing on what is happening with me... Easier said than done I know but let's focus on ourselves and stay positive that we will get there, we will be bump buddies this year - PMA!

Emme - how are you doing? I hope the spotting stopped as soon as it started.

Beach, so glad you had a great trip. I love Barcelona too. Sorry you haven't got your holiday bfp but fx June is lucky for you.

Good luck working the Doppler Lexi.

Thurl, i hope your cycle sorted itself out. And eat pizza until it does!

Good luck with temping Madeline, let us know how it goes. I am rubbish at it so use opks instead but I seem to be able to detect my surge quite easily, I know some people miss the surge and prefer temping.

Lady....Not long now lady ...exciting!

Soop Fx for a June BFP for you!

Hello Patiently, NSN, ayc and anyone else.

So glad it's the weekend, because of the bank hol I'm having to squeeze 5 days worth of work into 3 days so I'm exhausted, and also have a busy weekend ahead. No rest for the wicked! At least I have acu today so might get a hour to chill. I have friends coming over tomorrow so have to get up early to tidy... And then it looks as though I might have to work a bit on Sunday. Cd10 and I'm meant to start SMEPing this weekend but I'll be too blimmin tired at this rate! Shame ov couldn't have been last weekend when we were on our break and feeling romantic.

 

[BeachChica]

Lexi - good luck with that doppler! Like the others said, I think its really hard this early. I bet once you get used to it and find the "spot" you will be a pro at it too. Don't cause yourself extra stress with that thing though!!!

Soop - your symptoms sound good this month!! Do you typically get that during your cycle? I have everything crossed for you.

Madeline - if you decide to start temping, add a link to your chart so we can all stalk you!!!

Emme - has the spotting stopped? I hope so!!!

Wookie - I hope everything went well with your support group,. Don't stress about it. Your body it just recovering and gearing up for your sticky bean!!!!

Nicki - Happy

ayclobes - that's great about your beta's

Hope everyone else is doing well. :wave:

AFM - still exhausted from my trip and trying to work on laundry and unpacking a little each night before I pass out. Hopefully I will be back to normal this weekend. I think my temps are getting back to normal and AF is just down to spotting now. Ready to get on with it this month!!!

 

[Madeline]

thks sooperhans, wookie, thurl, emme, ayclobes, lady, NSN, patiently hope you guys are all doing well

[dodgercpkl]

Ok... I've had some sleep, let me introduce myself. My name is Teri, I'm 37 and my hubby (Anton) is 30. We've been trying for 2 years and have 2 mc's to show for it. One was a beta hell one that took 2 months to get through, stop bleeding and get my hcg down, and it happened in December. The 2nd happened a week ago and was very fast and caught us totally by surprise. I started bleeding red moments before I boarded a plane for a weekend trip and knew it was over.

Neither of my pregnancies made it to 5 weeks, so both are considered chemicals. Luckily, I have a pretty great Endocrinologist who is willing to start testing me (with a pretty comprehensive set of tests) to see if there might be a cause for these repeated mc's. I'm hoping to get some if not all of the testing done through my insurance, but if not, we'll pay out of pocket so that we can get answers even if it's just that it was bad luck.

I stopped bleeding yesterday other then just a hint of a tinge every few wipes, but as far as I can tell (assuming that I'm feeling the right bits) my cervix still seemed closed as of yesterday, and my temp (first temp I've done in a couple of weeks) is still above the coverline. This all worries me because of the horrible dragged out nonsense in the first mc. I did test this morning and got a clean negative on an IC which makes me feel better but not completely sure.

 

[Madeline]

hey dodger i am so sorry for your losses I hope the tests reveal some useful information so you can move forward w confidence. Mc'ing is a stressful disruptive time i hope your cycle returns to normal asap.

[BeachChica]

Hi Dodger - Welcome and so sorry for you losses! Hope you can get some answers with the testing but don't get discouraged if you don't. I have had a ton of testing and they really haven't found anything. Its so frustrating. Will you wait to try again until you go through all of you testing? My doctor did find some levels that needed adjustments through meds so he wanted me to wait through testing. Good luck to you, this group is great, with girls at all stages of this journey so I think you will find a ton of support here.

 

[dodgercpkl]

@Madeline - Me too. I'm a PCOS lady too, so my cycles have never been what I'd term as regular, but I'm really hoping that they will stay as relatively 'normal' as they were last cycle.

@BeachChica - Yeah I know that there is every possibility that the answers will come back telling me that it was just plain bad luck. Sadly I am hoping that they will find something easily fixable wrong, but if not at least I will know that I've done everything I could to try and prevent it from happening again. As for waiting, we've already jumped in bed yesterday 'cause well... a month was too long for both of us , but we will be asking them about that and seeing what they say at my appointment on Monday. If we need to, we'll use protection.
