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

[Ladyfog]

Thanks so much for your happy reactions guys - it means a lot . I'd love to stay on this threat with you all and if anyone at any time feels sensitive about me posting about anything, you just have to say. I'll be sensitive and really just want to continue supporting you all and see you all get your BPFs too!!

Lexi - as NSN said, happy shagging Just do it lots and hopefully you'll catch that egg!

I'm so glad I waited to test this time. I drove myself mad last month symptom spotting and testing only to be disappointed. This time I thought, "well if I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant and testing won't make any difference". I know I'm saying that from the point of view of actually getting a BFP, but I think it would have been OK if AF had arrived too as I was less worked up about the whole thing - Raspeberry Mini, be patient if you can and hoping you get good news too!

NSN, my LMP was 26 September so 5 weeks ago today. It means that I must have O'd no later than day 14 rather than the expected 16-17. I did have lots of EWCM on day 11 which I was surprised about at the time and we started BDing around that time. I had twinges in both ovaries this month which is unusual for me though so wondering if that had anything to do with it. Maybe I O'd twice?

Good luck everyone else - if I can do it we all can!

[Ladyfog]

No worries ladies!!

Thanks for all your lovely kind wishes - still can't believe it's happened but trying to be happy and not too scared. Can't see past the first scan yet, but keep telling myself that people do get pregnant and at the end of it actually end up with a baby so maybe that will be me this time. I hope so with all my heart.

It's lovely that we can all be there for one another

 

[Tweak0605]

Ladyfog - CONGRATS!!!! OMG how awesome!! I would love for you to stay here!


AFM - had a good weekend away and trying to catch up some. We got lots of snow, in a freak October snowstorm. Crazy busy at work, and just waiting for ovulation I guess. Not much going on otherwise

 

[justwaiting]

Ladyfog - Congratulations on your bfp thats great news. I think a few success stories on this thread will be good for all of us. those people who are telling you that being pregnant does often end in a baby are right. I hope all of us when we get our bfp's will also get our babies. keep us updated on your progress. I look forward to blod photo's and alien photo's and then actually looking like a baby photo's!

AFM cd5 for me and cycle tracking begins again this friday. I have decided I will do it this month and if no success I wont do it until after my holiday in january. I hate focusing on it and it didn't matter that I had sex on the right day last month I still didn't get pregnant. It's out of my hands. so one more tracking cycle and then back to just bding but I'm actually feeling pretty good about this month although it's only early days!

 

[Ladyfog]

Thanks Tweak and JW

I read a good plan for egg catching and thought I'd pass it on - I did it properly a couple of months ago (it was probably too early after my MC for everything to be working again) and then kind of did it last month, although I was a bit tired from work last month so wasn't quite as enthusiastic!

1. Start BDing every other day at CD8, then start testing for O at day CD10 for 10 days.
2. If you get a +ve OPK then do it every day for the 3 days after you get the +ve and then go back to every other day.
3. If you don't get a +ve (like me - I'm rubbish at catching my LH surge) then continue to do it every other day until day 30.
4. Test on Day 35 if AF hasn't arrived.

I think I've remembered it right - I think it's good as it means that even if you O early, there's still a chance you can BD at the right time.

JW - I said exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago - I didn't want to be in a 2ww over Christmas, especially as I found out I was pregnant with my first last Christmas Eve. Where are you going on holiday? Is it somewhere hot to escape the winter? Good luck this month

Tweak - not long now until it's action stations

 

[Lily_Hope]

Hi everyone!

Can I join this thread? We've been TTC for over a year now & I've had two miscarriages. One was early at just 5 weeks and the second was at almost 8 weeks which they suspected was ectopic so I had to have surgery. I've had a number of tests since & everything seems fine! We took 3 months off from TTC after the 2nd miscarriage in late April and have been back trying for 3 months now.

It's such an emotional and sadly a heartbreaking experience as I'm sure you all know too well. I'm still feel like I'm on a roller coaster as one day I'm really positive then AF will show up and the disappointment kills me.

I would love to get to know you all and offer my support to you too!

 

[Tweak0605]

JW - We're pretty close in cycle days! How long are your cycles normally?

Ladyfog - thanks hun! We kinda tried the SMEP plan last cycle - BD'd every other day till the + OPK then that day and 2 days after. Didn't work unfortunately Hopefully this month is the month!

Lily - Welcome sorry about your losses You're in good company here. This whole experience is a roller coaster, and I feel the same way as you. I get my hopes up too early in the TWW and get so disappointed when AF shows. I had a MMC in March, and an early miscarriage in June, and have been trying almost 1 year total. This 5 month stretch of TTC, after the 2nd miscarriage, is taking it's toll on me.

 

[Neversaynever]

Tweak... hun

Ladyfog....we can barely manage rudies twice a month never mind that amount how are you feeling?

Lily...welcome sorry you are here but the support and understanding is really useful...like a little family the hope of seeing those two lines at the end of the month bringe so much emotion and yes...the disappointment is crushing and I say soul destroying...one day....we will all get our rainbow babies and I will be cheering everyone of us on

Raspberry...you holding up ok?

Lexi...started your mission?

JW...don't be harsh on yourself sweet

to everyone

XxX

Congrats lady! hope you've got a sticky bean this time around.

never - because I couldn't get the endo biopsy done, I will start taking progesterone a few days after I ovulate. My LP's are 10-11 days, so maybe that's my issue.

Afm - feeling really crappy about things today. Found out dh's cousin delivered a baby girl this morning and between that news and halloween last night with all the cute little ones, I am literally fighting back tears today. I knew she was due any day but it just reenforces how rotten things are for me and makes me feel guilty I feel this way. And now I'm at work and I get to see my manager's belly bump. Sorry to bring the thread down just a bad day.

 

[futurephotos]

Ladyfog- congrats!!

Patiently- I'm glad your friend was supportive of you when you decided not to go with her to the baby expo. As for ttc and feeling like financially it could be difficult- I think that where there is a will there is a way and that things have a way of working themselves out. If it were me I'd keep ttc. If we waited until we were out of debt we'd never have a child. I don't feel like money is a good reason to put the rest of your life on hold.

Lily- I just recently wandered into this thread too. Glad to see you over here too

mpepe- it happens to all of us. The kids sure were cute last night! Made me want one all the more.

Hi everyone and welcome to any newcomers I'm still holding off testing but my CBFM started flashing m today so it's not long now!

TBH no idea which way it will go I don't feel pregnant but nor do I feel Like AF is about to arrive. If AF does arrive then we'll try again one more month then take a months break as we've got a trip to the US late Jan/early Feb and if we kept going I'd still be I the risky early stages whilst we are there - I don't mind going pregnant but past the risky time but I don't want the added stress of being in the early stages of pregnancy and on my holiday!

 

[Ladyfog]

Mpepe, don't apologise for feeling down, we've all been there. It's times when you see others having their babies that remind you what you've been through and what we still don't have, and that's tough. It will all be OK in the end though

Lilly - welcome! Sorry for your losses, but we will support you the best we can.

Hugs to everyone else Remember every day that passes is another day closer to that BFP

AFM, I have had the fear so badly today. Tummy and hips are achey and it just takes me right back to last time I was pregnant. I know it's normal, but I've been caught out twice with MMCs when I thought everything was OK so just don't feel I can trust my body anymore. I have a Drs appt tomorrow so she should arrange for an 8wk scan so it will be good to start the ball rolling. Sorry to winge when I've been so lucky.

Raspberry - when are you going to test? Well done for holding out!

I don't think you can always tell - I was convinced I wasn't!

 

[RaspberryMini]

Hey ladyfog going to wait until Friday AF should have arrived by then. I've promised myself to wait it out and think that it's no biggie if it BFN. It's my birthday this month, then Christmas, then we have a holiday. I'd love for it be BFP just feel like I have to focus on the other positive things going on for me right now.

 

[justwaiting]

Ladyfog - The concerns you have don't mean ur wingeing, we will all be the same when we get our bfp's. It is very hard to trust your body when it has let u down more than once. Good luck with the scan and the drs apt let us know how it goes.

Tweak - My cycles are 28days or there abouts (been abit all over the place) I'm on cd6 and we started the bding last night, just practice for next week! how long are your cycles? I think I remember us being very close last month in testing.

Welcome Lily, Sorry for you losses, you've found a wonderful bunch of women.

Good luck raspberry.


Hi to everyone else and I hope everything is going well for everyone.
