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

[thurl30]

Thanks Beach, glad to hear you are laying around, you need to relax

 

[Emmediva]

Beach, I like your productive Saturdays

Thurl, almost O time!

AFM, we have a hurricane supposedly headed our way so OH is out getting supplies today. I hope it dies before hitting land

 

[Emmediva]

Oops almost forgot, here's my bump pic 4.5 months along.

 

[lexi374]

Nice pic emme im saying boy!! Hope you stay safe and the hurricane moves away x

Emme--I think I am going to try a few more cycles the way I have been with just the supplements I am taking (I'm fixing to jinx my self) I am usually pregnant with in 3 or 4 cycles, and luckly they are usualy pretty text book O on cd 14 and 14 day lutal phase. If I get an early bfp (under 12 dpo) and go on to m/c then I will try something different. I really don't like the progestrone b/c af got me this Sat and it was way heavier and clottier then it usually is worse than last month when I had the early m/c. I actually told him that I was going to break it apart and put it in is food lol but I won't do that I already took it back to GMC and got the 40 dollars back. He refuses to take vitamins now b/c about a month ago his stomach was hurting and he was going to the bathroom like 9x a day they thought he had diberticulitus (sp?) but he had a ct and everything was ok. But i had gotten him some generic mens 1 a day and he was taking them when it came on so he believes it was the vitamins so he will not take anymore .
Be careful in the hurricane.

Beach--I just don't think I have a progestrone problem b/c last month I got my bfp and on cd 21 it was 24 so it was great. Now if it is possible to have good progestrone and when you get pregnant then it goes down that might have something to do with it but is that even possible. Next time i get a bfp I am going to ask for my progestrone to be taken with the blood test each time to and if it increases I should be good. I just don't like it it made af worse that it has been I guess my lining was way to thick b/c it was really clotty and heavy. I mean (tmi) I was changing my tampon (the super kind) every 3 hrs. Then I ran out of the super and had to use the regular and had to change it every 1 1/2 hrs.

Thrul-- I did a frer fertility test one time and you are suppose to do them on the 2 or 3 cd. I had just had a chem and I did it after and I had 2 blazing lines, and the blood test had come back a back to 0 for hcg but they still said don't trust the test. I did an shg last month and they said overies looked good so unless it is administered by dr don't worrry about the test.

 

[BeachChica]

Oh Emme - I did not know you were in Louisiana!! Be safe! I am in Florida (Tampa) and they were completely freaked out here all last week about this storm with the RNC here.

Monro - Strange, I never noticed heavier periods on the progesterone.

How is everyone else doing? Its been quiet!

 

[thurl30]

Emme hope you keep safe and the storm moves away

Monro thanks for the advice, I think because I suspect I have pcos I thought the test might come back positive anyway (apparently if you have pcos or irregular periods then you are more likely to have elevated fsh)

My chart looks a bit more stable this cycle, perhaps I have got the hang of taking temps now (don't want to jinx myself there), hopefully that means I might actually ovulate this cycle

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

 

[kmp]

Hello ladies, I have been very quiet, but been reading daily! I just have a hard time keeping up and don't want to post selfishly. Monro, I just wanted to comment that I had a few REALLY bad afs after the septate surgery as well. Like you said uncontrollable bleeding requiring a tampon and a pad and both changed in a couple hours! So it may not be the progesterone as I have never taken it. My more recent surgery was May and this cycle was the first time my period wasn't SUPER heavy. I am cd 16 now so should o tomorrow and hoping I will not have another af for awhile

 

[thurl30]

Good luck KMP, sending you lots of

 

[BeachChica]

Good luck KMP!

Thurl - I looked at your chart earlier when I posted and it looks much better! Are you using OPK also or a monitor?

 

[thurl30]

Emme so sorry I also meant to say fab pic I guess boy too

Beach I'm not using anything this cycle, I just want to relax a bit, recently I have spent so much time using opk's and pg tests that I thought I would just with DH and temp, I actually think the temping is putting my mind at ease now because I feel a bit more in control

 

[Nicki123]

Hi everyone. Just back from the festival, did three full days and am totally shattered. I'm getting too old for all this now! But had an amazing time, saw the Cure, Foo fighters and Kasabian among others. Am quickly catching up on BnB before having a snooze.

Monro sorry AF got you. It's so hard not to test early once you start thinking about it isn't it. I'm 10dpo today and trying to hold out til 13 or 14dpo... We'll see!

Kmp good luck catching the egg this month

Thurl I'm glad you realised you were holding the fertility test the wrong way!! Keep at it. I think trying a relaxed approach for a few months isn't great idea. Can't hurt can it.

Emme no more housework for you! Feet up. Tell DH it's his turn for a while. Nice bump pic.

Lexi, beach, hope your beans and bumps are growing nicely.

Hi everyone else! Sorry to those i missed, Feeling a bit brain dead so off for a nap on the sofa x

 

[monro84]

Emme--great bump pic did not see it earlier. I think boy to maybe its a mind thing though since you are wearing blue lol.

Thrul--GL this cycle I think O is right around the corner I know you said opks don't work but have you tried them this cycle maybe you have a short surge and you miss it.

Kmp--That is the way it was the first month after the surgery very bad and heavy. it lightened up a few months later. Idk why it was that heavy this month. I didn't realize you had septate suregery also, or maybe you had told me before and I just forgot . Hope this is your month for your sticky baby go catch that egg. .

Beach--Idk maybe it wasn not the progestrone. .

Nicki--Have you had anything out of the ordenary like spotting or any symptoms. You have a lot of will power I don't think I could go that long unless I just thought there would be no way that I could have caught it this month GL

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Monro. No spotting but I think this is good, i have occasionally had mid cycle spotting in the past but not on the months when I've had BFPs. My whole body is aching after the festival so I don't think I'd notice any symptoms! I am hoping my will power will last a bit longer

 

[Emmediva]

Ugh so now it's supposed to be a category 2 hurricane when it hits us, great now I'm more stressed and still at work so I can't do anything I hate hurricanes

 

[BeachChica]

Thurl- I think you have a great plan this month! I like to temp too, I even do it on the months I'm not trying because I like knowing what's going with my body.

Emme- do you have to evacuate?

 

[Sooperhans]

Hi all, hope you had a good bank holiday in the UK - Nicki, Reading sounds great, i love the Foos! Did you see Florence? I'd like to see 2 Door Cinema Club too. I went to the Blur Hyde Park gig a little while ago, it was amazing!! Good luck for testing in a few days' time hun!


Thurl, lots of luck as you approach O, hope this is your month x


Noto, so sorry the IVF hasn't paid off yet, lots and lots of for you for next time x


Kmp how are you getting on?


Lexi, well done for getting out there on fb, bet you got lovely of reactions on there. Keep resting, v exciting that bump is growing at a good rate. Are you at the names stage?


Monro, sorry af came for you. I have had more clots this yr but if anything my afs have been a lot lighter, I've been on progesterone every month since March. So maybe the procedure is resulting in that, as kmp said?


Emme, great pic! I think I'll join the boy camp! Oh no about the hurricane, will you leave? Have you had one before your way? Stay safe, I hope all is ok.


Beach, pleased to hear you are resting, have you got any bumpage to speak of as yet...


Afm...well af arrived Sun, more large clotting, it seems that's how it goes these days. Really quite light otherwise and I expect today or tomorrow that'll be it. Well....I've ordered some ov predictor dip tests, as for once on holiday I'll be able to test at 2pm, the optimum time. Going to completely go for it on holiday, bd central, hehe. I want to come back to a bfp!! Hopefully dh gets his test results today, fx'd all will be well. Doc wants me to have the prog blood test later this month, don't like the idea of skipping progesterone that much though. Hmmm. Really totally ready for a big month and totally ready for my holiday, 1 week today, wooooo! Xxx

 

[BeachChica]

Soop - I like your plan this month A holiday is a great time to work up a BFP! Did you tell your doc that you were planning on really trying this month? Maybe he can test your progesterone while you're taking it. I don't think you should stop for testing if you are trying this month. He should just check to see if supplementing with the progesterone is getting you to the right level. I can't remember, but did you ever start taking the baby aspirin? That might help with some of the clotting.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Beach, hope so! The first time we conceived was on honeymoon, so hoping to get a bfp, feels like it's been ages.

Think I might give them a call, I'm not sure why I can't be on it and be measured like you say. Dh is waiting for a call back on his sample today......

Yeah, have been on mini aspirin since the prog in March, bit weird with the clots.

How are you today? x

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey, so the dh got his sample results today... Mobility and volume all fine, just the 'liquefaction' time is a little longer, so where it's normally 1 hour to become more watery, his was 2 hours. The doc said keep trying as normal and maybe repeat the test in 3 months. Has anyone else had this or know anything about this? Thanks x
