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

[Sooperhans]

Haha, everyone's having a go at clearing out....Wookie it's def good but painful to start! I meant to do just one drawer yday, then did the whole chest of drawers, a 2nd chest of drawers and then the wardrobe! Feels good! There are a few more hanging clothes, they are next! Yes Nicki it's addictive!

Good luck tomorrow Nicki xxx

Acu was good! I had a chat, went through all my medical stuff, she said she has a lot to do! On feeling my pulses, she said she needed to first address weaker areas including my heart, blood, spleen and gall bladder. I had 5 needles in in total. Some felt a bit weird, almost fizzy at times! She wants me to come back in a fortnight initially, I did say that money wise I can't afford it all the time, so we are seeing how it goes. Fxd it all works quickly! Xxx

 

[lexi374]

Nicki thinking of you today xx

Soop glad acu went well, im ok thanks hun just feeling shattered this week starting to find work hard. 6 more weeks and im outa there!!! x

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Lexi, yes I'm glad I went and feel positive, if it works I would be over the moon.

6 weeks, wow! I can't believe it! That's so exciting xx

 

[Sooperhans]

PS do you think acu can work, like immediately? I'm CD16 and got a pretty convincing looking opk this afternoon....what do you think?

 

[Sooperhans]

I haven't been o'ing until cd20+!!

Nicki, hope you are OK. How's everyone else? Beach, how are you getting on hun? xx

 

[NewToAllThis]

Wow, Soop, that's a really good opk
Best get on with the . I'm intrigued by acu, been pondering over it for a while now-but I'd imagine its a bit pricey for multiple sessions.
But suppose its well worth every penny if it works eh?!

 

[SATH]

Hi can i gatecrash. Ive been having accu too after my 2nd mc in august. Ive found it good so far this cycle i ovulated day 19 just hoping i get a longer luteal phase.

 

[Emmediva]

Soop, I agree with NTAT, that OPK strip looks great, girl go at it hope the catch that egg!!!

Sath, welcome to the thread.

AFM, I have another ultrasound appt today, seems they were not able to see everything at the anatomy scan at 22 weeks. The baby was moving way too much. Only good thing is I'll get to see him again and I will ask them to confirm the gender just in case LOL. On another note I'm feeling really huge now, it's getting harder to get up and go. My OH wants to take a road trip to Tennessee for the weekend, 6 hrs away, and I am really not feeling it... All I really want is to sleep in for the weekend, and do nothing. My energy level is null

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you ladies...dtd done for today! Next one tomorrow and then the day after, yahooo!

Emme, you are completely allowed to do v little and you need your weekends to rest. Certainly not travel all that way, I'd remind dh that you are doing an important job that is tiring you out! And let us know what happens on the scan, gl x

Sath, welcome and sorry for your recent loss. Yes join away, how many acu sessions have you had? And I notice you are hypothyroid, me too. Crap, isn't it! My acu lady yday said that weaker pulses in my spleen could be down to the thyroid...has yours said anything? X

 

[monro84]

Soop opk looks great go catch that eggy.

 

[SATH]

Thanks for the welcome. Sooperhans yes she said something about thyroid causing weaker spleen weak kidney. I'v been 3 times so far lots of needles in abdo and back and some herbal tablets. Noticed my hair is growin i have really thin hair cos if thyroid hate it. Have you ever been told thyroid condition puts you at higher risk of mc?

 

[Sooperhans]

That sounds similar, when we finished this appt she said next time she'll prob have to work on my kidneys. Hopefully it'll boost both of our non functioning thyroids! That is great about your hair thickening, do you think that is down to the herbal tabs or the acu? I have some patches in my hair and it's def not as thick as it used to be

Well, one of the reasons I am trying acu is that the docs are saying the mcs are not related to my thyroid. Which I think is bs tbh! I'd read that it can affect later mcs, what have they told you? As soon as I got my 1st bfp I had my levo raised to 175mg, I used to be on 125mg. I've been really reluctant to come back down as I heard the right meds should be in place not just at bfp but before. As a compromise, in the last couple of months I've come down to alternating 150 and 175mg. What are you on?

The docs seem to be so sketchy about what it affects, I hope acu can fill in all the gaps that the western medicine leaves......x

 

[Nicki123]

Hi SATH, welcome to the thread.

Hey Soop - good looking Opk! I remember on my second cycle I think of acu, that I got a +Opk on acu day. She had stuck loads of needles in my stomach. I like to think it can work pretty fast.

Hope everyone else is well. I'm recovering well after my erpc on Friday. The drs and nurses were lovely and made it as 'pleasant' as these things can be. I spent friday night just lounging and snoozing, but felt pretty good yesterday so was up and about. I have no pain and the bleeding is already really light. DH and I went out for a meal last night, it was nice to get a bit dressed up. Have some friends coming around for a roast dinner in a bit so all in all it's been a good weekend.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Nicki, it's been bd central recently, maybe one more just for luck!

I'm pleased that it went as nice as it could for you, it's a nice idea to dress up and feel a bit special. I'm pleased you have friends around you as well today. Take care my lovely xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

I mean that it went as well as it could, not 'nice' as such. I feel for you going through all this. I hope you get lots of help x

 

[SATH]

Hi, I'm on 75 mcg a day. I did start to increase it as saw my level was 2.9. I was referred to a specialist obs/endocrine clinic but never got that far. Very annoying as my GP had been stressing to me that I had to have it under really good control straight away but then just left me to do it myself. Debating whether to increase it myself taking 75/100 mcg alternate days.

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey Sath, I assume when you say 2.9 that it's your tsh? That has a bit more scope to go up, I would argue that you could prob go to 100mg outright? Can you ask your doc to do a trial? And retest? Can you push for the referral? I'm always bugging my doc about this and my fertility, think she's sick of me!

Nicki, how are you doing? How is everyone else?

So my doc wants me to have my thyroid levels tested and also the progesterone....must admit I'm nervous about not taking progesterone this month...especially as I'm hoping to have caught the egg. So basically the same thoughts as last month! My doc said the test will confirm I'm def ovulating. Hmmmm.....

 

[lexi374]

Hi everyone....

Nicki im glad fri went as well as could be expected, and that you managed to have some time with friends over the weekend.

Soop fab looking opk, sounds like you have had a bedathon so fx this is your month!

Sath welcome im sure you will find great help and comfort here.

to everyone else i hope you are well. x

I went to see the nurse fri for my whooping cough jab, and she said are you getting the flu jab? I said no, she said why not and to get to the point told me that i would be having both today and that was the end of it!! She was a total bitch! Anyway i had 2 dead arms so did ni=ot sleep at all fri as couldnt lay on my sides or front or back!

My flu arm is fine now but the other 1 is still really sore, although better than it was and still got a lump and a rash on it!

Anyway 30 week bump shot as promised.....

Spoiler

Belly bar came out that morning was getting sore x

 

[lexi374]

Soop it will if done at 7dpo not day 21! My test was done day 21 and they said borderline! How can you ov borderline, you either do or dont, anyway after sometime i realised it was because i ovd later than day 14!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Lexi and lovely to hear from you, your bump looks totally gorge!! Only ten weeks or so, what a lovely Christmas this year for you

Ok so I'm confused...so the test is designed to be 7dpo? As I've just been told to make sure it's 7 days before af is due, and as last month was cd40, she said to have it cd33, which would make it massively past 7dpo! I might try and get it at the end of this week then, at least I could take the progesterone again sooner? X
