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

[Emmediva]

Sooper, I know, I was shocked, in a good way , I was totally expecting the worst. That spotting at 7 weeks scared the hell outta me I know I was a mad woman at the time... I like being proven wrong I hope you get an appointment soon for your scan, it sucks that those people are taking their dear time

Wooks, once again congratulations, and ask for the progesterone supplements!! Lots of baby I'm so happy for you

 

[Sooperhans]

Ayc congratulations, sounds like it's all falling into place for you x

Wookie, I'm made up for you, what great news you bring! Big big and Fx'd for you.

Emme, I'm so pleased it's all on the up for you and thanks, yeah hope a date comes through soon

Happy weekend all xxx

 

[Misswish]

Congrats Wookie that's gr8 news
Ayclobes congrats on the double joy coming into your home & lovely that you are going to look after dhs niece.
I hope soop you get the scan you want soon. Would be frustrating.
Hi to everyone esle
I'm not on clomid. I'm taking low dose aspirin & progesterone pessaries. Im also having accupunture. Twins runs in my family on my dads side. I have twin aunties & twin cousins. Also DHs brother has twin daughters. Not sure if that makes a difference. I asked whether they could tell whether they are fraternal or identical but they can't tell. I've always joked about having twins so it's amazing. Just keep hoping everything keeps going well. Was interesting talking to someone yest at my work that has twins, didn't let on that I'm having them too.

 

[wookie130]

I've got some progesterone suppositories now...the doc finally caved! She probably wishes I'd just leave them all alone up there at the clinic! LOL!

 

[Madeline]

Congrats Wookie that is such fantastic news
Soop I am so sorry you have to put up with that process which seems way to slow and unfair. I hope you can get your scan soon
hope you are well Emme xx
Acylobes - Congrats on you upcoming adoption
Hey BeachChica thinking of you

[ayclobes]

Thanks ladies! we're super excited! my sil keeps telling me that we're pushing irish twins--siblings born less than a year apart! I have zero appetite, and im exhausted. I've been craving a chicken sandwich from bk with cheese, bacon and lots of pickles on it! annnd some icecream from dairy queen! ahhhhh!

 

[wookie130]

Oooh! Dairy Queen sounds diviiiinnnne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Reeces Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard or Brownie/oreo hot fudge sundae!!!!!!!!! My ass is getting bigger just thinking about ice cream today.

 

[Emmediva]

Ok you guys so I am freaking out again... I just went to the restroom and when I wiped I had blood, and it's more than when I spotted barely.... You could see the blood on the toilet paper I'm so scared y'all... Just when I was thinking all was going good I get this

 

[wookie130]

Emme, this sounds so much like one of my besties IRL...she bled/spotted/bled throughout the entire first trimester, and her pregnancy was considered a "threatened miscarriage."

Well, Ms. Threatened Miscarriage's name is Zoey Christine, and she's due mid-Aug, and is currently 3.4 lbs, and kicking momma regularly.

Get to a doc and get scanned again...it's your best and only real reassurance. There's NO shame in it, particularly when you've had recurrent losses, and bleeding with the current baby.

 

[lexi374]

Hello ladies! Sorry i have not posted for ages, i have been reading just feeling really tired. Everything you read says energy level improve now, im still waiting for it. Sleeping badly every night though. Started to put weight on the last couple of weeks, appetite has def increased!

Emme try and get a scan to put your mind at rest, lots of people do bleed and all is ok, hoping the same for you.

Wookie congratulations hun!

Ayc congrats on the adoption 2 little ones to look after!

Misswish wow twins thats amazing but a little scary too!

Madeline congrats to you too do you have a scan booked?

Nsn itll be you next before we know it!

Soop bloody nhs i hope that you get an appointment through soon its no fun being in limbo, are you still trying in the meantime?

to patiently, nicki, thurl, beach and anyone i forgot....

 

[Madeline]

hey lexi

sorry you are feeling so tired. I hope you start to feel a little better soon and start to get a good nights sleep. Theres nothing like a good nights sleep to make you feel better.

I don't have my scan till July 26th as my gyno is away unfortunately... it feels like a long wait...

Emme i am so sorry of course that would be worrying. I hope you can get in to your Dr for some advice to put your mind at ease.

Lady I hope everything has gone well and when you are strong enough you can give us some exciting news xxx

how is everyone else going?

[Ladyfog]

Hi, I'm still waiting! Just wanted to pop in and let you know that nothing's happened yet - so frustrating!

Congrats Misswish - Twins would be so exciting, but I must admit, I'm glad there's only one in my tummy!

Lexi, I started to feel better after about 16 weeks, and the lack of sleep has never really improved for me - your body does get more used to it though so hang on in there

Congrats wookie! Fingers crossed for your betas

Emme, remember your scan showed a HB so you have that to reassure you. If you need to, get to the Drs and arrange another scan. FX everything is still fine.

Ayclobes, glad everything is going well.

Hi Nicki, Soop, Madeleine and everyone else . Hope you're enjoying your weekends. I'm watching the Wimbledon final - hopefully the excitement will get this little lady out . If not, I'm going to clean the house and hoover the stairs - what an exciting life I lead!

 

[Madeline]

OMG Lady I can't believe it! i was sure your next post would be the big announcement. Well it will come soon enough but you must be tired of all the waiting I am watching the Wimbeldon final as well how could I not and murray is playing so well too its very exciting

[Bumblebee2408]

Hi Ladies,
I wondered if I could join i'm 21 engaged to my partner we've been TTC#1 for a year now and have lost 2 little angels but we're still keeping going

 

[wookie130]

Hey, Bumble! So sorry to hear of your losses...we've all been there on this thread. Keep plugging away at it, as that's all you can do!

Lady...ugh! Are you getting impatient? I certainly would be at this point! I'll be sending you "labor and delivery vibes", and hopefully you can get this show on the road!!!

 

[Nicki123]

Hi everyone, it's been nearly a week and there is so much to catch up on.

Firstly ..... HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you Wookie. I am so happy for you, I've been following your journal and I know its been tough for you so I am delighted for you and your lovely Brad

Welcome bumblebee, sorry you find yourself here and sorry for your losses but I hope you find some comfort here.

Emme I'm thinking of you, have you managed to book a scan to reassure you?

Lady - I hope Wimbledon did the trick! It was very exciting. Looking forward to hearing some news soon.

Lexi hope you're managing to get lots of rest

Ayclobes, wow a baby and an adoption! I think that's amazing, you must be over the moon.
Same for your misswish with your twins. Awesome.

Beach I hope the egg drops before you DH goes away!

Soop, make sure you nag the Dr again re your scan, they really need a shove to get moving sometimes.

Hello everyone else

Afm, cd11 and got a +Opk today. Really early for me, I usually ov cd16 - 19. The line was really strong. Oh well I'll just go with it, DH will be getting lucky tonight

 

[hopestruck]

Hello ladies! It's been a while. Just thought I would stop in to let you know where I'm at! Shortly after I introduced myself to this board a couple of months ago, I ended up taking a hiatus from B&B while I did some testing for recurrent M/C. I'm sorry I haven't been more active...this board moves so fast, I find it hard to keep up!

Congrats to the ladies with the new BFPs, and welcome to those who are new here. This really is a lovely group of women.

AFM, the time away from B&B was actually a really nice mental/emotional/physical break to be thinking about things other than TTC for a while! So last week I finally got my results back, and the tests (frustratingly, but I guess thankfully) indicated that all is good, normal, well and healthy. SO, that leaves us in the "unexplained recurrent miscarriage" category. Irritating as heck, but the doctor says I should be glad that there's not something more serious going on that could have other adverse health effects. So I'm trying to stay positive! Apparently my prognosis for having a live birth is still very high...somewhere between 60-80% in my next pregnancy. Here's hoping

Since we don't have any real answers, the doctor is going to try baby aspirin + progesterone for my next pregnancy. I was on baby aspirin during the last one, which got farther than the others had. The cytogenetic testing showed that our baby was a chromosomally normal boy . I'm really hoping the progesterone will help the next one "stick".

I'm on CD 12 now and waiting to O. OH is out of town from today until Wednesday, so I am KMFX that I don't ovulate until CD 17! (my norm)

 

[Emmediva]

Wookie, thanks so much for sharing your friends story. It gave me more hope.

Lexi, so sorry you're feeling tired but happy all is ok with you.

Madeline, sorry you have to wait till July 26, it sucks that you have to wait so long.

Ladyfog, the little lady is probably so snug in your tummy I know you are ready to meet her though. Hopefully she decides to come out soon.

Nicki, I hope you catch the egg!! Good luck, go go!!

Ayclobes, congratulations on the adoption, I hope all goes ok. Double blessing.

Bumblebee, sorry for your losses and welcome to the group.

Hopestruck, that's great that the doctor is putting you on baby aspirin & progesterone! Are you already taking the baby aspirin? It's best to start while ttc so more blood flows to your uterus

:wave: hi to everyone else. AFM, I did go to the ER last night. I was just so worried because it was more like light bleeding anyway I got there and told them what was going on. Got admitted and the doctor said it would either be a miscarriage or a threatened miscarriage... He said he was goigng to check my HCG levels to see if they where within the normal range or not. And they would also do an ultrasound. They did both an abdominal and a vaginal ultrasound. The tech would not tell me anything though said I had to wait for the doctor to see the images and he would tell me. Anyway I got in at 10:00 p.m. and around 1:30 a.m. the doctor came in to tell me my HCG level was more than 99,000 close to 100,000 and that my ultrasound came back fine, phew, he said beanie was measuring around 11 weeks and hb was 160. so I felt way better. He said to take it easy the next few days since it was a threatened miscarriage. He thinks the trip to Houston and me walking around the next day may have had an impact. So I'm just taking it easy. Thanks for your support ladies

 

[Madeline]

hi Emme I am so glad you got in to see the doctor and that the results are so good. I don't know anything about a threatened mc but if a few days rest is what you need to do then of course put your feet up. I hope you are feeling better soon xxx

[hopestruck]

Emme, how stressful! I hate it when they won't tell you or at least let you see the numbers/images. I am SO glad to hear that everything is OK though! at over 11 weeks, you are almost in the clear. I'll continue to send positive vibes your way.

Yep, I am already on the baby aspirin Doc wants me to start progesterone as soon as I get my BFP, but I'm hearing from some people I should start it right at Ovulation? This is making me a little nervous! However, my losses seem to come a bit later, so I'm thinking early progesterone levels are likely sufficient (I came up in the normal range of the mid-luteal phase in my bloodwork). Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks ladies
