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

[BeachChica]

Good luck with your appt Monday Madeline!

AFM- the bleeding has really started so I stopped my progesterone although my temps seem to be unusually high. Does anyone know if it just takes time for all of that to get out of your system? I bought a new car yesterday so that has me excited and is helping me keep my mind of of things. Alright girls, on to July!!!!

hi BeachChica

I don't know how long it takes for supplemented progesterone to leave your systemI think it depends on how you take it whether its via a torched under the tongue or through the use of a cream. If its a cream then because it is absorbed by tissue its takes longer to be metabolised but he liver. But if AF has started then levels must have dropped for that to happen and I would have thought BBT would then have dropped as well. Thats a bit of a mystery.....

FX for July xxx

Hey Ladies! I had my u/s yesterday and baby is 7w3d! with a hb of 152bpm! we are over the moon! my hcg levels @5w5d were 11,588!

Beach congrats on the car, that's really exciting, what did you get? xx

Ayclobes congratulations, wishing you a h&h 9 months xx

I need some advice if possible ladies, today I am on CD26, yesterday afternoon I had like an ache in my left ovary area, it lasted all afternoon and did have seconds where it turned into a pinching type pain. I decided to do a hpt and I got a bfn, I then thought I'd try dipping one of my ovulation test strips in to the cup, and within seconds this dark line started to appear. I have never got a positive ovulation test before so I couldn't believe it. The line got really dark, and I am fairly confident it was positive. My question is, does anyone know what it means to ovulate so late? I have attached a pic of the test because I'm not the best at reading these strips, the line did get quite a bit darker after this pic was taken. xx

Thank you! Was the test line as dark or darker than the control line? if so, then that was a positive opk!

hi thurl

late ovulation can decrease chances of conception I think this because the luteal phase is inadequate, poor egg quality, wrong timing for implantation. Sometimes these things can just be a one off but maybe it would b worth mentioning it to your Dr anyway. I have read there are a number of treatments for LPD so if this was the issue you could address it straight away.

The test definitely looks positive. Let us know how you go won't you

Congrats ayclobes thats wonderful news xxx

BeachChica - a new car! omg that is exciting

i ovulated super late the cycle i got pregnant--but that was b/c of the follistim shots i was on..and i did progesterone starting at 3dpo and my baby bean is healthy! hb is 152bpm!

 

[thurl30]

Thanks for the advice ladies, I have a feeling that I missed the full surge and just caught the tail end of it hence why the test doesn't quite look positive, I have taken a comparison today and it's totally negative now. We did last night just in case but it's unlikely it will lead anywhere. Madeline I have heard alot about LPD and because I never know when I ovulate it's really hard to know what my normal LP is. I am going to test daily again next cycle, but carry on beyond CD20 which is where I normally give up testing, this could be where I have been going wrong. Thanks again for the advice, I find it all so confusing xx

 

[Madeline]

hi thurl

This could be really important info for you definitely. I agree it is totally confusing

My cycle was 26 days instead of 28 the way it used to be I was ovulating CD10 but for months we were presuming around CD14 so we didn't start doing it till day 11.

I started B6 supplementation in case i had LPD and acupuncture, my cycle went back to 28 days and I O'd day 12 last cycle when I got my BFP.

I think they can test for this maybe you should get to your Dr and ask for the test just to make sure. It is so vital to know when you O and to make sure you are O at the appropriate time in your cycle.

how long is your cycle normally?

hi Beachchica, Thurl, Nicki, Soop and everyone

I wish you were online...I have just had the results of my blood test this morning from my gyno and my hcg at 4 weeks and 3 days is 1400! She thinks there is a good chance I am carrying more then one. I am sitting here and I am feeling really overwhelmed and stressed. I am in shock. I couldn't get out of bed this morning from the nausea to have my test early so I got in there late but they rushed it off anyway. I just didn't want to hurl on the nurse.....

I have to have another test thursday to c wats going on. It must be a mistake. Hopefully it will all b sorted out by thursday and I will get normal readings. There is no history of multiples on either side of our families and its really rare so its practically impossible right?

thks for listening

Hi everyone,

Madeleine, glad your numbers are good and try not to worry too much about what they mean. If it is twins then you will be fine and that's a blessing so try not to stress

Soop, hope you get your appt through soon and fingers crossed there's nothing to worry about and your body is just taking a while to settle down It's horrible when you get pregnancy symptoms and you feel like your body is playing tricks on you

Beach, sorry AF has arrived and fingers crossed for you next cycle.

Hi to everyone else, I hope you're all doing OK, whether pregnant or TTC - lots of and to you all.

AFM, still waiting - It's a weird feeling knowing that a massive change is just around the corner, but not knowing when it's actually going to happen - I feel like a ticking time bomb! I'm ready now so whenever she wants to turn up, that's fine by me! For any of you that want to see, I've finally attached a couple of nursery photos and a bump shot.

[Madeline]

hi ladyfog

wow I am so excited for you how awesome that you are so chilled about it can't wait to c the pics

thks I have calmed down now.I don't know what the gyno was thinking there is no history of twins in my family at all so the high levels point to something else. Hopefully not something sinister just a really healthy singleton

babydust to everyone i hope we will have more good news soon xxx

Hi everyone, back after my lovely weekend away and have today off work

Madeline... Wow sounds like you had a bit of a shock! glad you have calmed down a little now, bless ya. You are probably right, sure it's just a very healthy baby. When will you find out for sure?

Ayclobes, congrats on your healthy scan, wonderful news.

Lady the nursery is so cute! You are all ready so come on baby, make an appearance soon!

Emme, I know you have your scan today so I'm thinking about you. I hope it hasn't been to stressful, you have been so patient and waited so long.

Hey Thurl, it is so confusing isn't it... Hope you make sense of your cycle soon.

Soop, how are you doing? Have been thinking about you too. Do you have a date for your first test? Its nice to have a date to focus on, we need little milestones along the way.

Beach, sorry you got a BFN, let's keep our FX for a lucky July for all us ttc ladies.

Hello everyone else, hope you're all doing well.

AFM, still buzzing from my amazing weekend, went to see a great gig and had such a great weekend away with DH and our friends. Went to see the Dr today, he was very helpful. Spent a long time going through my notes and is sending me off for my progesterone test. he said its the only one I haven't had so I'll have the full set then he also starting talking about clomid as some of my (many) previous scans showed up a few cysts here and there, I don't have any pco symptoms though and am happy to go without for the time being but nice to know he is happy to suggest other things down the line if needed. Oh, and he asked if I was taking baby aspirin!! I said the other Dr advised not to but he seems to be all for it. ... Wasn't sure if he meant to take it now, I assume it's when I get a bfp? Anyway, he said to go back and see him when I get my results so will line up my questions for then.

 

[Madeline]

hi nicki

glad u had such a great time away wow your new Dr sounds far better thats fabulous it will b interesting to c the results of the progesterone test.

i have to test this thursday to c wat the hcg levels r doing.


madeline xxx

 

[Nicki123]

So happy about the new Dr Madeline, he said he had a plan for me which is great. I love a man with a plan

Hope Thursday's tests make everything more clear for you.

 

[Emmediva]

Beach & Sooper, how are you ladies doing?

Ayclobes, glad the scan went great!

Madeline, have you had an ultrasound to see the sac etc? Fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy.

Lady, love the baby bump pic & nursery looks awesome! Hopefully the princess makes her debut soon!

Thurl, I never liked OPK's just so darn confusing, I'd rather temp all day long lol. Good luck, I'm hoping it wasn't late and you still have a chance to catch that eggy.

Nicki, I'm so happy your doctor appointment went well! Hopefully your progesterone test comes back fine, but if not remember there's supplementation available! Regarding the baby aspirin, I was put on them while TTC it helps the lining of your uterus. So I would suggest taking them along with your prenatal vitamin now.

AFM, went to my doctor appointment today, boy was I a nervous wreck! I barely got any sleep last night. I went into the appointment expecting the worst. I told the doctor about my lack of Morning Sickness and lack of Constipation. She asked me if the symptoms had gone away, I told her that they never actually showed she said I may be one of the few lucky ones that don't get it. Anyway she proceeded to say she was going to try to find the heartbeat, to not worry if we couldn't hear it right away etc etc... Mind you my appointment had been for 8:10 and there I was at around 10:15 still waiting to know if all was ok my patience was deteriorating... After what seemed like hours, probably more like 2 minutes lol, she found my peanuts heartbeat!!! Oh my god! I love that sound and I started getting teary eyed (as am now) I glanced at my OH and he had the biggest smile ever! I asked him if e could hear it and told him it was out baby's heartbeat, beating loud and strong
So another stepping stone down, and more to go my next appointment is July 30, hopefully we can see lil beanie at that appointment
to all and lots of baby

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Madeline that's great news about your test results, how are you feeling about the potential of there being more than 1? I think that's awesome, although it's so early on it might just be a single but very healthy one, either way it's all looking good so far for you, congratulations xx

Nicki welcome back, so pleased to hear you had a lovely weekend. Also good news about your Dr, it's fab that he spent some time looking through everything xx

Lady your nursery is lovely, and your bump is lovely too, hope to hear some exciting baby news really soon xx

Emme congratulations to you, that's lovely news, hopefully you get to see your healthy little beanie at the end of the month xx

to everyone xx

 

[Madeline]

hi nicki that is so great, i mean this is important and u needed someone to take it seriously - i like that plan lol - thks i am sure everything will b fine thursday xx

hi emme i am so happy for you that is a real milestone on so many levels, life changing just life changing - thks emma no ultrasound yet only 4 wks 3 days. i think i have to wait till wk 6 but i think u r right that will b an important bit of info.

hi thurl how r u going? thks xx i am happy about the results i guess while highly unlikely it is possible i have more then a singleton on board.My gyno said that women in my family could pop two eggs and not know it basically as i am not on any fertility drugs. She said it may just be none has had both eggs fertilised before. I will be honest and say that when you read the stats on twins it is confronting and thats why I had a little freak out moment yesterday because of the risks. But having thought about it I have concluded that it is so unlikely that the better explanation is a healthy singleton and the chances of something sinister going on are also very small also so I should calm the fcuk down lol

i hope everyone else is doing well totally cheered up vy your news emma and nicki

LF...is she here yet LOVE the bump, nuresery and pram...what pram is it btw?

Emme..fantastic news

Madeleine...my first beta was at 4+3 and was 1043 and there is only one so I wouldn't worry

Can't remember who was asking about OPK's...I used them intially to pinpoint when I was likely to O in conjunction with cervix position and cervical fluid because my cycles were regular...I no longer needed the OPK's and in fact..they caused me more stress to be honest if you do want to use them...I suggest you get a batch from Amazon..test twice a day (around 10 am and 4pm) on the lead up to O and then three times a day when you are likely to O as some people have a short surge.

Noto...thurl....patiently.....Nicki.....acloy...lexi....misswish...beach....wookie....and no doubt others I have missed..sorry

XxX

 

[Madeline]

thks NSN thats reassuring. I think its the loss thats making me concerned as I have read that high numbers can mean Downs apparently or Trisomy. I guess there is no choice but to wait and see...
