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

[BeachChica]

Soop- I am so, so, sorry We understand and are here for you so feel free to vent here or PM me. You will get your rainbow!!! I am glad you're going to see the doctor, between your symptoms this month and the clot I think it's a good idea.

 

[Nicki123]

Oh Soop I'm so sorry Hun... We were all rooting for you this month. We are here if you need to talk / rant etc and promise to be a lot more understanding and sympathetic than MIL

Madeline, how you feeling? I never had sore boobs with any of my pgs, even when I know they were going well, but I did have other symptoms. So you def don't have to have sore boobs, everyone is different.

Emme hope you and the olive are well. With my third pg I had that awful taste in my mouth, I had to suck hard boiled sweets all the time to stop it driving me mad.

Hello Lexi and your peach, Beach, Lady, ayclobes, Patiently and everyone else x

AFM, back from a lovely weekend with my girl friends. 10dpo and My spotting continues, not heavy at all, very sporadic and light but it's there. I feel less like its implantation now, think its been going on a bit too long.i think it might just be annoying spotting. Anyway I think my expectations are back to normal now which is a good thing.

 

[Madeline]

hi nicki

no new symptoms to report unfortunately....Everything feels quiet physically. I haven't tested yet its 12DPO for me today 3 days till AF. My temp was elevated another .1 of a degree this morning but I did my temp 1 hr later then I normally do not sure if that makes a difference.

I haven't had spotting before but i have read that it can be IB it can also apparently b breakthrough bleeding if progesterone fluctuates. Have you ever had issues with progesterone?

Sooperhans hope you are doing ok xx

Beach Chica and Nicki and everyone - OMG

I wasn't going to do a test till AF was due but my temps have gone from 36.5 to 36.6 to 36.7 this morning and I thought I might as well get it out of the way and move on. Well I did the test and straight away got a !

I will b honest and say I am really excited which is ******** I know because it may not work out but I just wanted to share the news with you all. Beach Chica you were right you were right :happy dance: you were right too nicki my boobs are not sore and yet I have tested positive :happy dance:

I don't know if it means anything but when I was last pregnant the positive was faint and gradually got stronger after I missed AF. This time I am 12DPO and it is really dark. So I guess that means the cramping I was having on CD22 and CD 23 was implantation.

I am sending out pregnant vibes for everyone

Hi Everyone,
Sorry soop about the bfn. That really sux I was hoping it was your month. Sure is hard. I hope you get the support to help you through this time.

Ladyfog you sound organised & glad you're enjoying mat leave. Was interesting what you said about DTD. I can understand Lexi being scared. I too havent DTD since end of may. My DH has been away for work but even if he was here I would be worried too. I just want to wait until my 12 wk scan. See what happens when Hubby gets home!
Last week I had a stomach wog on mon, then had a cold& indigestion & bad nausea& no appetite. Felt pretty crappy up until today. Had accupunture today & had a couple needles for nausea & think it helped. Actually feeling hungry for a change! I get bad constipation aswell. Any tips to help with that? I have my 7 week scan fri & feeling a bit freaked about it.

Emme glad to hear everything seems to be going well.

Congrats to Madeline! That's gr8 news!! Hoping all goes well. Sending baby dust to everyone that's ttc.
Patiently that's nice you went with your sister & offered to be birthing partner. I hope you are going ok. One of my friends that is pregnant is worried her hubby might not be home from work ( as he works away aswell) in time for their babies birth. She asked me to take her to hospital & support her etc if he isn't. I offered to aswell I just hope it's not too stressful etc! Hopefully he'll be home coz it would be an amazing experience.
Anyway I'm going to go & eat .

[Sooperhans]

Thank you everyone xxx I think with the DD thrown in next month (31st July) I've got myself really emotional. My AF has gone all weird, after the clot and day 1 of bleeding, it's gone to virtually nothing. Every month seems to be getting worse, not better. The earliest appt I can get is Wed PM. I'll report back.

Madeline, that's great news x Hope everyone else is well x

 

[lexi374]

Soop been thinking of you, hope you are ok.

Madeline congratulations thats a great line, looks like my 1 at 14dpo, my 1 at 11dpo was much lighter. FX for you this time.

Lady glad you are getting sorted dont forget to put your feet up.

Misswish, constipation has been my biggest bug bear, drink loads of fluids and i also took lactulose quite a bit, and even then i struggled! It has got a bit better the last couple of weeks tho but still not back to normal.

Hi to everyone else, 1st day back after 2 weeks off, im tired!!! x

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Lexi xx Not great but I'm sure I'll get there soon. Meant to say docs won't even let me book Wed pm, I have to call Weds AM to try. Sigh...well hopefully I'll get seen, this weird AF is freaking me out.

Put your feet up now after your first day back and happy 2nd tri. Beach I so hope this is your time hun and Nicki sorry you are having this spotting x

 

[Nicki123]

Congrats madeline. Thats a great line for an early test!

Oh Soop...I think i know how you're feeling, i feel totally bummed out today. Its horrible isnt it. Just like last month, i had a really vivid dream last night that I had a 3 positive pg tests. Despite promising myself I would wait til 14dpo, I did an IC at 4.30am this morning when I woke up because the dream had me kind of convinced. Its 11dpo and i got a BFN. I have had a bfp at 11dpo before so have totally convinced myself I'm out. The spotting is less today but still there a bit. I called DH for a pep talk and he said all the right things i.e this is our first month of properly trying Again (if we don't count the one off bonk last month which I'm not going to Cus it makes me feel better not to!) and that it took us 4 or 5 cycles on the last two attempts. Ah, the voice of reason!

I know though that I'm not as upset about not being pg as I am about the spotting. I had it really badly between mc 2 and 3 but it seemed to clear up totally when we weren't trying. And now we are trying again its back!! Why is that?? Sometimes I wonder if I have low progesterone. I tried to talk to my dr about low prog before but he said giving supplements etc is not proven to help. Even when I went for all my tests at the hospital after mc 3 they didn't test for low prog saying it wasn't a proven thing. But then why are so many other people prescribed it?

Oh dear sorry for the downer... I have been feeling so positive for so long I knew I had to have a wobble sooner or later....Hi to everyone else I'll write more to you all soon!

 

[Madeline]

hi soop i am so sorry, i can c you r feeling really down...theres no doubt that its hard not too when yr cycle isn't right hopefully u can get in to c the docs asap, don't they have emergency appts set aside? i am thinking of u

hi lexi thks it is dark, maybe thats why i woke up at 6am this morning w nausea? hope u r doing well its always hard coming back from holidays.

hi nicki

you have to get to the bottom of this spotting thing can u get a second opinion from another doctor? don't worry wobblies seem to come w the territory

[BeachChica]

OMGosh Madeline - that is great news!!! I went straight to look at your chart from your first post before I read the one where you announced your BFP!!! Oh and your pic is great!!! Don't forget to mark your BFP in your chart!!!

Misswish - I am wondering if your symptoms are just pregnancy symptoms/ms...?

Soop - Like Madeline said, I would tell your doctor that you are passing clots and its an emergency. If I were you I would exaggerate a bit to get an appointment. Tell them you are losing sleep over it etc.

Nikki - sorry you are feeling down. If you want progesterone tested you should insist on it. If they don't want to test you I would find another doc. Keep in mind that progesterone fluctuates a lot. I had a normal progesterone level when I was not pregnant but once I was pregnant my progesterone was not at the level it should be. There is no harm to you in taking the progesterone, so not sure why they will not prescribe it to you, just as an extra precaution.

I have a question for you girls that use OPK's. I don't use them, I just rely on my temps to get me in the "window" but if I don't get a BFP this month I think I might get some for next month. Does anyone have an online place where they order these?
Other than that just waiting for Friday to test....

 

[Madeline]

hi beachchica

thks that exactly the reaction I had when I saw the BFP come up straight away stick then jumping up and down lol Weird thing is I wouldn't have tested for a few days except for our conversation on temping. I have been diligently keeping my temps btw lol then she I went up again from 36.6 to 36.7 yesterday it just got me wondering, i didn't really think it was going to be positive but there it was. Still don't believe it. Just got blood test results for progesterone and it is 95 which is apparently good i am just waiting on the hcg results which hopefully I will get later today.

I use OPK's and i find them really great sort of like a green light lol I buy a packet at the supermarket of 7 at a time. The instructions say test doing the day but I have received my positives at night around 9-10pm I think this is because it takes a few hours for the LH surge to show up in urine. So I test lunch time, afternoon and night on my peak days.

Soop i hope you have been able to secure an appt I am worried that they are brushing you off when it is clear you need to c someone straight away. Nicki I hope you are feeling better you and Soop have had such tough time lately. Hi lexi hope you are well and work is not to hard to get up for after your break

ps just got my hcg results 97 at 13DPO which is apparently good so I have to do another test in a few days to really c if things are looking good...

[Nicki123]

Morning - am feeling much better today. Amazing what a cuddle and good nights sleep can do. Did superdrug test today, still bfn, feel ok about that though its the spotting that was getting me down. So Have decided to go to see Dr next week but to see a diff One - my usual Dr admits he isn't a fertility expert but there is one who is so will see him re spotting and progesterone. Feel better just for having decided that Also am going to give temping a whirl again next cycle so lots of positive action.

Soop how are you doing?let's cross our fingers for July

Beach, I just buy ICs from Amazon they are really cheap. Some people prefer the smiley face ones but I find them expensive and the ICs seem to work well for me.

Madeline glad you got good results!

Hello everyone else, here's to a much cheerier Tuesday x

 

[Madeline]

Sorry about the BFN Nicki xxx I am glad about the change of doctor though that sounds really positive definitely another opinion and from someone who specialises in the area and even then another opinion from another specialist after that until you get a satisfactory answer. I am glad you are feeling a little better

madeline xxx

 

[BeachChica]

Oh Madeline! I am so over the moon for you!! All of your labs come back great!!! I do like to temp, it really makes me feel in tune with what's going on with my body. I actually still continue to temp when I am prego. I don't know why but I always feel like the worst is going to happen and I want to prepare myself for it. This early for you I would say maybe you could continue but then you should probably stop so you don't cause yourself unncessary stress like I like to subject myself to....

Nicki - so glad you are feeling better today and I am glad you are going to a new doc. Do you see a regular OB or a specialist? I have been seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist for my issues after my 3rd MC and he will monitor me until I get to the 12 week mark and then I will go back to my regular OB.

Thanks for the info on the OPKs girls. I am going to check online.

AFM - another high temp for me today. My LP is usually 11 days so I should know something in the next couple of days. FX!!!

 

[Madeline]

hi Beachchica thanks so much thats so lovely I totally get why you would keep temping its a control thing I can relate I am just getting into it myself and it is kind of another level of awareness. I feel hotter for e.g.. At the gym today I was only a few minutes into warm up before my training session and even though it was 8 degrees! I was hot!

So another high temp that is very exciting I can't wait for an update 2 days is not long to wait are you experiencing any symptoms at all? FX for you !!!
