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

[Sooperhans]

August - thank you for writing about your experience and congratulations on being 21w with a girl! Such good news!! Are you still taking the aspirin? If so will you take it throughout? Did you stop progesterone at 12 weeks?

Nicki, thanks for your answer, was the clotting test a blood test? If not what did it involve?*

Thank you everyone inc Beach, Lexi, I know it's such a contentious issue with doctors - why can't they all bloody agree what they tell us?! It's the same with my thyroid condition, for years I was told I couldn't increase my dosage, I felt like crap and finally on my 5th doctor or so I got it raised, all the others before her said I was fine when I clearly wasn't. I hate these grey medical areas...I'm now worrying about taking it and causing harm but for now I will go with my doc and hope that if I am pg that everything goes ok...I'm worrying before I even have a bfp!*

Patiently, Ooooh I was wondering about you and now you post, not quite as psychic as you but it's a start, lol. That's great that you can predict others and I hope you turn your skill on yourself, starting in 2 week's time! Sorry about your bfn, I hope AF comes quickly for you and you can begin the bd marathon!

Oooh Lexi just saw your scan date and I was like, why is that date familiar? Just looked at my calendar and that's the day I'm due to test!! Fx'd....looking forward to hearing good things from you that day

Dodge, I hope you get some quick fix answers from your testing

Littlemiss, GL with ntnp, I wonder how many people do get their bfps in this phase, you do hear about it a lot.

Madeleine, Wookie, how are you? Wook I hope you feel better after your group. Your profile pic is interesting! Lol xx

 

[Madeline]

Hi Lexi wow i didn't even know you could buy a dopler and you heard a heart beat ...I am almost speechless with excitement for you

Hi Sooperhans, Nicki, Lexi, Beach Chica I have been reading about the aspirin debate, sounds like the issue is in a state of flux, not enough reliable research available. I would personally be careful about taking any drug long term though.

Congrats August I am so happy for you

Thks patiently I have my fingers crossed for you too

Emme

Hi dodge hope you are ok

baby dust for everyone

Quick update from me, CD9 no positive on the OPK yet. We have started doing it anyway lol Random - has anyone heard of Randine Lewis "The Infertility Cure"? just curious downloaded it tonight.

Thanks everybody!

Soop, I was on the progesterone for a little longer than 12 weeks. My doctor tapered me down to one a day at 11 weeks and then had me finish what was left of prescription taking it every other day at 15 weeks.

I did not have any testing to see if it was a clotting issue so he wants me to continue on it until right around delivery. He said if there is an underlying issue that stopping it suddenly can still cause issues.

 

[Sooperhans]

Madeline, yeah go for the bd'ing anyway and GL! You might miss your surge with an opk.

Thanks August, it's always useful to know what other people have been told and what their experiences are. I read some people take it until full term, 3rd tri or 12 weeks...so lots of differences there! X

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Soop, yes I had a blood test for the blood clotting thing. This was the one thing my Dr did get me tested for after the 2nd mc, It might be worth you asking your Dr, It was pretty straight forward x

 

[August79]

There really is a load of differences. I expected to be taken off of it around 12 weeks from my reading on here but that wasn't the case. I had no problems taking it. The only side effect was tiredness but who is to say if that was the pregnancy or the progesterone?

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Nicki, hmm wonder why my doc didn't send me for one, I guess I would have to come off it now to be tested and what if I have a bfp around the corner, wouldn't that do harm if I needed it? I'm going around in circles here, lol x

August, I would guess that was the general pregnancy, how are you feeling now?

 

[August79]

Really good actually, thanks for asking. I am a little anxious because I am not really feeling her move yet. I *think* I feel her sometimes but nothing definite yet. I did invest in a doppler and that helps to give me reassurance in between visits. My energy is good and the sickness and "sour belly" is almost gone.

 

[Sooperhans]

Ahh, I'm sure you will feel her more soon, it's good that your energy is better, "sour belly" doesn't sound very pleasant!? X

 

[Misswish]

Hi to everyone,
How are you all? I havent been on here for awhile. Sending hugs to everyone that needs it.
Emme my thoughts are with you and so sorry to hear that. I really hope its not that case. Its just so unfair I'm sending you lots of hugs.

Thanks for your post August it was very interesting. Its always good to hear what other people are doing and have been told. I was wondering about the baby aspirin and progestrone aswell. My doctor has recommended them both so I have been taking the aspirin while TTC. Congratulations on being over 21wks pregnant that is exciting. My doctor said to come off the aspirin at a certain time while pregnant but i feel worried if i do it might be a problem. I have had a test for blood clotting problems but havent found any problems but they couldnt find anything wrong in all the tests they have done.
I took a pregnancy test last week and found out I'm pregnant. Feel a bit freaked out about it all. I just hope everything goes well this time. I've spoken to my doctor and she wants me to have a 7wk scan and start taking the progestrone pessaries. I had to order them in so will hopefully get them tomorrow. Every little symptom kind of freaks me out at the moment. i'm trying to remain calm and positive though.
Lexi that is great you have heard the baby's heartbeat on the doppler!
Patiently I'm sorry about your bfn. its really hard seeing that. you sure are psychic though wow! I hope you get your bfp soon.
Lady not long now. How exciting
I hope everyone esle is going well and sending baby dust to you all.

 

[Sooperhans]

Misswish congratulations, I'm really happy for you it's good to hear another bfp and I hope very much that this is your rainbow baby I can totally understand you feeling freaked out and I hope that as time goes on that you are able to be reassured by your early scan. It sounds like your doc is proactive too. Do you have a scan booked in? X

 

[Nicki123]

Big Congrats misswish on your bfp! I know you have been trying acupuncture as I've seen you in that thread, so I really hope it helps to make this your rainbow baby. Fx for you, and I hope you don't freak out too much. X

 

[Misswish]

Thanks heaps Sooperhans & Nicki I really hope this is my rainbow baby too. Yeah I hope the accupunture helps. Haven't got a scan booked in yet but will have to get that organised soon. Trying to keep positive. Thanks for the support.

 

[Sooperhans]

Rooting for you! Pls let us know how you are progressing, or if you want to vent your freaking outness...

Hi everyone

I disappeared last week because we decided to have a couple of days away very last minute, I really needed that!

I can only have a quick stop today but will come on here tomorrow and catch up on everything I have missed, although I did spot your bfp news Misswish....congratulations to you and I wish you all the luck for this being your sticky one xx

It's my 30th birthday today, I'm excited about what the day holds, my dh and I have both got the day off work so hopefully we will go out and about, but it's also a milestone, and I had always planned that I would be a mum by the time I reached this milestone ...but onwards and upwards...and now my plan is to be having a successful pregnancy by the time I am 31

Hope everyone is doing ok and had a good weekend xx

 

[Sooperhans]

HAPPY 30th THURL!!!! Have a wonderful day and I hope you get spoilt. I'm 30 in September, good year eh? I too thought I would be there, but it's only a number and you may have a pregnancy in your 30th year still. Have loads of fun xxx

 

[lexi374]

Misswish big congratulations!
I know you will freak at every litle thing, i did and still do. You just gotta get through it anyway you can i dont think the worry ever stops. At least you will get a scan at 7 weeks that will hopefully reassure you a little. Baby steps hun deep breath.

Thurl happy 30th sweetie, you are still a baby in my eyes! I will be 34 in aug, i came off depo just before i was 30....its taken so long and we still dont have that baby, the years really do start going quicker the older you get! Forget all things baby today and just enjoy your day with dh, i hope he spoils you.

Well my 2 weeks off start today and its lashing down! Have the midwife coming this afternoon.

to all xxx

 

[Madeline]

Happy Birthday Thurl

Soop...man I'd had said the woman behind the counter..show me your certificates or shut the fuck up

As for the aspirin debate..so many conflicting opinions which is damn frustrating IMO. A girl off here decided after researching herself silly drives to take it..had a scan at 6 weeks and there was a clot which was not good and she was told to stop taking the aspirin immediately. I know in the UK they don't like scanning until 7 weeks and by then it might be too late. Another girl I know had three losses..all around the 6 weeks mark..her tests came back with a slight clotting issue and is now taking the aspirin and she's 33 weeks pregnant. So...I think you have to make a decision for yourself

Misswish...congrats and sticky your way..please keep everyone updated in here

Patiently...sorry you got a BFN

Madeleine..happy go catch the eggy

Thurl...happy 30th have a fab day sweetie

Wookie...how're you doing?

Lexi...so chuffed you found the HB..amazing how two days can make a difference and enjoy your 2 weeks off

LF...how's you and little lady?

Nicki..how're you doing?

Beach...all ready for this month chick?

I know I've missed people sorry but I don't mean too

Chucking you all hugs and stuff as usual

XxX

 

[Sooperhans]

Hehe Never can you come to Boots with me next time?! I just unprepared for her judgemental looks and I withdrew into myself. If I went back maybe I'd tell her to eff off...think hb was ready to on my behalf when I told him! I literally worried all weekend and lost sleep over it. Hmmm....I'm taking it for now, thanks everyone

Lexi, hope despite the rain that you are having a nice relaxing day, yay to time off! Do you have plans? Oh and 34 is a good age! Xxx
