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

Ok ladies I am confused I was playing with my chart and on cd 10 I put the temp all the way up to 97.82 which there is no way that my temp was that high then. It changed my O day to cd 13 and I never O early so am I really 6 dpo today instead of 5?? Chart is in Signature. :shrug:
 
Hi ladies :wave:

Sorry I haven't been around for abit, to cut a long story short my mother and father in-law have both been in hospital last week, my father in-law is home and ok now, but my mother in-law was diagnosed with cancer yesterday and it's been a bit tough, I'm ok though and me and hubby are just being positive about it all :)

I haven't had time to read back on everything, but hope you are all doing ok.

Beach hope you're ok, I have been thinking about you :hugs:

I have kept on top of my temping, and I do actually seem to have had a slight increase in temperature, still not sure if it's enough to say I O'd or not, but it's better than last cycle. I have a doctors appt on Saturday to see about pcos xx
 
Sorry Monro, can't help on the temping thing - don't really understand it. But big thanks for the beer recommendations, will definitely try the Michelob Lime Cactus, sounds yummy!
Never heard of that or Bud Lite Platinum but will look out for them both :thumbup:

Thurl - sorry to hear about your MIL, cancer is a horrible thing (I recently went through a scare with my mum). Glad you are both staying positive about it. There are lots of things they can do these days :hugs: to you and DH.

did you put the wrong temp on on cd10? When i was temping (my sept cycle last year i got pregnant with my angel), i ended up o'ing on cd12 that cycle and the only thing i was really taking was maca root--help regulate my hormones and baby asprin.
 
ayclobes--No I did not start temping till cd 11 I usually start cd 8 or at least 10 but for some reason I did not till cd 11. I went back and looked at all my charts and there are not any of the that is above 97.8 on cd 10. I even put in 98.03 on cd 10 and it still says I O'd on cd 13 (however if Iput in 98.04 it says the cd 14 was O and if I put in 98.1 then it says I had not O'd yet:dohh:) go figure. I think it is safe to say that cd 13 was O day. Hope so got better :sex: in then we dtd at 12PM and I was able to keep laying down a little bit.

Thanks anyways when will u find out what team u are on.:pink::blue:
 
Emme - Congrats on being Team Blue :blue:!!! Do you have any pics to share?

Ambi - I have not been successful at keeping a pregnancy yet but I have been through pretty much all of the RMC testing if you have any questions. All of my tests have come back normal with the exception of being heterozygous on the MTHFR gene which is causing a high homocysteine level (I am on meds for this) and once I am pregnant I have tested low for progesterone, so I am also on supplements for this starting at 3 DPO. The whole testing process took about 3 months for me. They test for things in waves to try to rule things out, if everything is normal they start the next set and so on. There seems to be a lot of time in between with all the testing and waiting for results.

NTAT - Glad everything is coming to an end for you. Are you going to start TTC this month? Have fun in Orlando next week - I live just a couple hours from there. Are you going to Disney?

Monro - all this talk about Bud Lights I think I will have one this weekend too!!! :drunk: Wow you got a lot of BDing in this month!!! :sex: FX for you!!!

Thurl - I am so sorry about for MIL and FIL. I think being positive is a great approach! Your chart is looking a lot better this month!!! FX for you!!!

How is everyone else doing? :wave:
 
thurl, sorry - that sounds difficult but good you and OH are being strong. and good luck on saturday.
 
Thurl--Looking great looks like you actually did O now. Was your timing good for :sex:? Thats greatr for the dr appt. Hope they find out that day what makes your cycle so irregular. So sorry about your MIL and FIL. Glad your FIL is out of hospital. I know how it is to have your MIL diagnosed with cancer mine passed in may from pancreatic cancer she fought it since Nov 2009 when she found out and was cancer free from surgery in tampa, fl from July 2010 to this April when she found out she had a mass again. We sent her back to tampa on mothers day and she pass a wk and a half later her service was on memorial day. However since just a few month I have heard of great cancer treatments and advancements so I am sure she will be ok. What kind was she diagnosed with and what stage? So sorry again GL , and GL and FX this month you get a sticky baby. :hugs:
 
NTAT - Glad everything is coming to an end for you. Are you going to start TTC this month? Have fun in Orlando next week - I live just a couple hours from there. Are you going to Disney?

Yes, we're continuing to TTC. I'm 37 now so feel that I haven't got time to waste.
Got the all clear from the hospital this morning and am being referred to Professor Quenby in Warwick (who Lexi has seen) for the NK cells biopsy.

I hope to have it tested before getting pregnant again, but as I don't get pregnant easily, I'm not prepared to waste any chances I may have. And as you're supposed to be more fertile after a natural m/c, I'm not waiting!

Yes, we're doing Disney as well as Universal, Seaworld and Busch Gardens (that's near you isn't it?). DH has never been although I've been 3 times, it was about 15 years ago now so a lot will have changed. I'm so excited!!!
 
Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a good day :)

NTAT hope all is ok with your mum now :hugs: That's good news that you will be tested for the NK cells, GL with that, and have a great trip sounds like alot of fun coming up at Disney :)

Beach thank you, how are you getting on? :hugs:

Monro I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL, it's a horrible thing :hugs: I will be honest and say I don't actually know much more about my MIL than it's CA and the mass is pushing down on a nerve which has caused her to lose the use of her leg, we thought it was something wrong with her knee and never expected this in a million years, but she likes to protect us and isn't very forthcoming talking about it. I'm sure I will find out more as we go along, she starts treatment next week to shrink the mass so will just have to see what happens.

Oh I need to say... I OVULATED!!! :happydance: :happydance:

Well, I think I did, I am fairly certain this cycle for the first time in ages. The fact I O'd on CD26 is a seperate issue, but I'm proper chuffed that I finally popped an egg! So I didn't BD anywhere near my fertile window with everything that's been going on the last time we did was CD21 so I don't really have a shot this cycle. The strange thing is, I stopped taking all my vitamins a couple of weeks ago because I had a feeling they were messing up my cycle, I don't know whether there is a connection or not, so next cycle I am going to temp with no vits except of course folic acid and see what happens
 
Well I just got news that I was not expecting and was hoping I would get well into my pregnancy (when I got pregnant). MY SIL IS PREGNANT (4 to 5 wks):cry:. (Read more about her in my journal intro). She told me by texting me and asking if I still had her pregnancy pillow (she lent it to me last yr when I was pregnat). I to her yeah I still have it. Then she text back mind if I use it again soon. I really am happy for her (well sorta). I know if I was pregnant then I would really be genuinly happy and that I had someone to go through it together. I feel really bad b/c thoughts have crossed my mind about her maybe loosing it early which is terible I know and I really would not wish for it on anyone esepcially since I have gone through the heartach so many times I really hate myself for thinking that . But I would be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind. However since they have been trying for a girl hoping they have another boy would not be that bad would it:winkwink:. I guess because she already has 2 boys and her DH is in the Airforce and they can't afford to drive to see us which is only 30 min away but yet they can afford ANOTHER Baby. And he now has to reinlist when his time comes up in 2014 or 16 (I can't remember) these factors make it so unberable that she is now pregnant with her third and I am still working on my first. I can only give it to God to take away these bad feeling that I have towards her b/c I really do not want to think like that and I really want to be genuinly happy for her:(.

God I just feel like I am going to cry. I was hungry but now I have lost my appatite. Why can't I just feel happy for her instead of sorry for my self.

Maybe I will get some good news soon also. but since I said what I did above maybe karma is a bitch.:devil:

There is a smilly on another board that has the smiley face with a gun and the smiley face puts the gun to his mouth and pulls the triger. I need that one (I am not going to do that but it would symbolize how I feel). I need a freaking drink.:drunk:
 
Thurl--That is how my MIL was she did not want to trouble anyone and be a burdin on anyone so we did not really find out how bad she was feeling till a few weeks before she passed you would basically have to beat the truth out of her. Women like that are the strongest ones in my opinion.

Yeah for ovulation you still have a chance it might be slight but sperm can live in optominal conditions for 7 days. You never know. :shrug:

I have never been to any of those places either my dh went to disney world and maybe universial but he was probably 6 or 7 and does not remember it. He would not want to go either unless we had a kid he does not know how to act like a kid again he is all so serious and adultish. I watch some cartoons and he is like what are you watching that for that is for kids. (where is a rolling eyes smiley) lol.
 
Hi Monro, I'm sorry to hear what's happened, I know exactly how you feel, my SIL is going to be anytime I'm certain and I'm dreading it, it's perfectly natural to feel upset and deep down you probably are happy for her your emotions and feelings are just proibably in the way. Anytime you need to rant just come on here and let it out :hugs:

My MIL went in for another MRI today, then we got news that she was sent straight to A&E so my OH and SIL have been at the hospital all night, they just got home, basically the scan has shown a few tumours right by the bottom of her spine, they are going to operate tomorrow morning to remove them, they did say everything is treatable so I'm hoping they are right, will see how things go tomorrow but they are certainly not hanging around which is good.
 
Thurl--thanks so much:cry:.:hugs:
That is good that it is treatable. Wow that is good they are so proactive and wanted to do the surgery that quick. I will be praying for you and your DH and MIL and FIL.:hugs:
 
monro, i hate that feeling. right now, my childhood friends are all having babies all over facebook and i sometimes have these waves of getting sick to my stomach! yet i cant look away. it's a relief to have the ladies on here to be genuinely happy for. it makes me feel like less of a green monster! thurl, good luck to her. many people do recover from this and i'm pulling for you all.
 
Thank you all so much yall do make me feel better.:hugs:

On another note, I decided to take my temp just for the hell of it (I temp vag) and it was 99.96:shock:. Ok so I took my temp orally and it was 98.91. How can it be that much of a difference? I did take a drink of water 30 min ago to take my folic.acid but thats it. I am trying to hold long enough to test. :blush:. I will take it again later but all I have been doing is cutting my toenails. Maybe if I am pregnant I just discovered a new symptom :dohh:
 
Monro, after a lot of therapy and large support group sessions, I came to learn that what you're feeling is COMPLETELY and ABSOLUTELY NORMAL for women in our situation, and it hurts even more when it's a family member. You are entitled to anything you're feeling, actually, and you should not feel guilty. It's natural, and the only thing that will begin to lessen these feelings toward pregnant friends and family is when you become pregnant yourself with your actual rainbow baby. That is literally the only thing that has truly helped me so far. And God forbid, if something goes wrong with this pregnancy, I'll be right back to where you are...those feelings of resentment when I hear someone talking about their pregnancy, and the adversive reactions to seeing pregnant ladies, etc. It's a terrible to feel these things, and those feelings are usually followed by guilt...like, "Why can't I just be happy for ________?" Or, "I feel like a crazy person. I feel jealous and bitter." Well, just know that this is a natural response, and it does not make you a terrible person. It makes you NORMAL under the not-so-normal circumstances.

:hugs: You'll get your time, honey. Your own baby WILL fix this...and I pray it's right around the corner for all of you waiting.
 
Thank you so much wookie that is exactly the way I feel. I know you ladies know it all to well also.:hugs:

Well on a maybe better note. I took a test at 8:30 last night (I had held for 5 hrs) it was an IC and it took a little longer than usual for the dye to go across but there was a light light line that had a hint of pink :shock:. I had nothing to drink at that time. Well b/c I was in disbelife I was like no that is all in my head so while it dried I drank 1 beer (that really made me burpy and gassy even more so than I was which is usually one of the first signs). I took another 2 hrs later after the last at 10:30 and it was lighter then the first one but I still saw a line.

Now fmu has not been to good for me lately and I have this theory that when the egg starts to implant it lets out abunch of hcg then as it implants it starts to level off to small amounts untill it is deeper and more connected then it starts to put more out. I believe this b/c last night I got the possible light faint positive and a temp dip this moning which I always get when pregnant but fmu nothing.:shrug:

Now I know I am very early I am going by I O'd on cd 13 so I would have been 7 dpo yesterday. Last year when I got a bfp at 8dpo with the twins/triplets I had the same thing happen took a test on 7dpo in the evening and a light but bairly noticable line but there was a line. The next morning nothing. That evening at 8dpo the line was back. I did not get a good bpf till 9dpo at 11:00am so that is why I have my theory and I believe that I am pregnant.

I emaild the RE and told the nurse about my light line and asked if I could get orders for a blood test and progestrone test with all the blood test. Just to make sure my progestrone is going up accrodingly. I did not take any this cycle just wanted to do it the way I have been with vitamins and baby asprin it worked last time.:winkwink:
 
Well if you want to look at the test from last night I cannot get a good pick of the line but it is there with the naked eye this is also a pic of the test dry they are all the same test.

Ambivalent, The only test I had was the Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) that checked to see if my tubes were open, I had one back around 2000 and then another in 2010, both times my results were fine. In my case I knew I was ovulating, I got my period every month and it was fairly regular, but my boobs stopped hurting around AF so it led me to believe my progesterone was low. Around July last year I started tracking my temps to ensure I was ovulating, I got more serious as time passed and started researching natural fertility supplements. I started taking them in September, I wanted stronger ovulation and to ensure I was indeed ovulating so I took Vitex herbal supplements and got pregnant with my 1st in December but miscarried a couple weeks later, I believe it was due to low progesterone, I didn't have insurance due to a new job so couldn't get access to test nor to a prescription. I continued to take supplements this time changing from Vitex to Soy and got pregnant again in March, I asked my OB/Gyn for Progesterone supplements and she conceded after much insistance on my part. I unfortunately miscarried a couple of days later, this was a chemical though, the egg implanted late around 17dpo, for this cycle I took the soy from cd3-8. I didn't take anything for the following cycle, I was depressed but for April 19th's cycle I changed the dates, I took Soy from cd5-9 and got pregnant in May :happydance: I took progesterone from 3dpo to 16 weeks per doc's orders.
I wish you the best of luck, TTC to is rollercoaster of emotions, ups & downs but it is so worth it in the end :dust:

NTAT, I second Monro's comment about Fertilaid or Fertility Blend for men, it has been shown to increase sperm count, if youo can't find it, get L-Argenine, it is great for increasing count :thumbup: I would also suggest you take Mucinex to thin your cervical mucus take it beginning one week prior to OV, and also use PreSeed lube if able to. I did get some decent pics, my lil one is not shy at all!! LOL he had his legs spread wide open for us several times :cloud9:


Monro, it is normal to feel anger or resentment towards other pg women. It's great though that you are acknowledging these feelings and working on them. Don't feel bad for telling us how you feel, remember we've all been there :hugs: As for the test, I'm srory I can't see anything, I hope you can see a clear line tomorrow morning, that'd be wonderful!!

BeachChica, thanks I did get some pics, he was moving so much though LOL the tech barely had enough time to freeze the image and save them. This is one active :baby: I actually have 4 pics of his weewee :blush: :haha:

Thurl, chart looks great! Sorry about your in laws.

:wave: hi to anyone I may have missed

AFM, I did the Quad screen Aug 28 at my doc appt, and I got the results yesterday. It all came back normal, no indication of any abormality, thank God. I am now endulging and enjoying my pregnancy :cloud9: I am so in love with my little boy and he's not even here yet :cry:
