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

[Sooperhans]

And I agree, how can you be borderline? You either are or you aren't, not everyone's lp is bang on, I know I haven't been. This bloody test is stupid, lol x

 

[lexi374]

They think everyone has a 28 day cycle and ovs on cd14, what a load of crap we aint that lucky! It should be 7dpo so if you know the day you ov then go with that. I was oving around cd19 so it hadnt gone up enough by cd21, also didnt realise til i temp'd that i only had 10 day luteal phase! x

Thanks hun, would love for this bubs to be here before xmas but as first babies are usually late i know that's not likely!

 

[Emmediva]

Sooper, I agree with Lexi, a test done at 7DPO will tell if you've Ovulated. I would take the BBT calendar with you to the appointment to assist.

Lexi, love your bump pic!! I need to add mine, I am huge though lol. As to your arms hurting, I am so sorry to hear that. They offered the flu shot here at work for free, but after doing research and weighing the pros and cons, I decided against it, so I did not take one. I hope your arms feel better soon.

AFM, I went to my ultrasound appt on Friday, so they could finish the anatomy scan on the baby. Well when the tech started he was sleeping so she got some cranial shots and also saw the 4 heart chambers as well as the heartbeat, and kidneys. But then he woke up, I guess due to the prodding of the probe. So she had a hard time getting him to cooperate, the baby literally flipped and gave her his back, so she pushed harder trying to get him to turn, which he would not, so she basically made my abdomen hurt from all the probing She was able to get more pictures of other areas like the abdomen, fluid etc, but I was ready for it to be over. When I went home I was in pain, so laid down for a couple hours and then took the trip to visit my OH's cousin in Tennessee, I was not looking forward to the long drive but I did have lots of fun. We got back yesterday afternoon and were able to relax a couple hours before we went to bed. OH wanted to but I declined, I was TOO tired and to be honest, I feel so tired and worn out now, that it's the last thing on my mind. My belly has been hurting more today, not sure if it's from the round ligaments or the trip, or both. I have my maternity belt on but I still hurt when walking around or standing/sitting. I hope my body gets with it and gets used to the extra weight, if not I may have to take maternity leave before I am ready to go into labor...

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you for your advice both, I will ring first thing tomorrow to get a Fri appt hopefully.

Lexi - you never know re dds! I'm getting excited for you x

Emme, sounds like you're still suffering, lots of rest to make up for the w/e! Pleased you had a nice time. And pleased all checked out ok in the scan, sounds like you have a right wriggly one there

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls :wave: sorry I have been MIA. I have all kind of crazy things going on with work lately, just trying to get all caught up...

Nicki - I am so sorry that it ended up being bad news for you! Glad the surgery went as well as can be expected. On to next month right.

I might have to join you ladies for the declutter party. We are getting ready to put our house up for sale soon so I think there's lots of decluttering needed!!!

Soop -Your OPK loks great!! I hope the Acupuncture works for you. A lot of girls get prego right after doing it!!! We are due for some good news in here.

Sath - welcome to the thread! Great group of ladies here at all different stages of their journey which is nice!

Lexi - you look great in your bump pic!!! Gosh how time is flying! 30 weeks already!!!

Emme - glad everything is going so well with your pregnancy and everything checked out with your scan. Get some rest! Wouldn't it be nice to start maternity leave this early!!!

Wookie - glad things are going so well for you this pregnancy. Do you have any bump or U/S pics to post?

Monroe - sorry the damn witch got you!! Ugh so frustrating isn't it!!??

Thurl - How are you doing? I was laughing when I read your post about sleeping with your mouth open. Have you started your alternate temping method yet?

:wave: Hello to everyone I missed.

AFM - started temping again this cycle. Not sure if I am back to normal or what. AF was very dark and light then last week I had some spotting so who knows what's going on. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with my temps. I think I may wait another cycle or so before TTC again just to be sure everything is back to normal down there.

And I agree, how can you be borderline? You either are or you aren't, not everyone's lp is bang on, I know I haven't been. This bloody test is stupid, lol x

By "borderline" they mean you're having a weaker ovulation, and yes, that exists. I had this issue myself, my body would release an egg, but it wasn't bringing forth the BEST egg, nor was it firing it out strongly enough...and this is usually due to lower progesterone levels. I was put on Clomid to strengthen my ovulation, which in turn produces higher progesterone. And lo' and behold, I became pregnant...twice!

 

[BeachChica]

Wookie- when you say your body was not putting forth the best egg, what do you mean? I too ovulate and have oow progesterone and as you know I have had a lot of MCs. Because the ones that have been tested have been chromosomal issues I too wonder if I my body I'd not putting forth "the best egg." The docs don't want to put me on Clomid though because they said I am not having any trouble getting pregnant and the high chance of multiples with Clomid brings with it a new set of risks and issues.

 

[Emmediva]

Beach, if I were to take maternity leave this early, I probably would have to do Short Term disability and not get my full pay which would not be good. Granted I would LOVE to rest at home and get full pay but that's impossible lol. So nope hopefully no early maternity leave. I want to get as much $ as possible LOL. Wooks is right in regard to ovulation not releasing strong eggs, I really think that was my issue when trying to get pregnant. I tried for more than a year to conceive and it was just not working, and I knew I ovulated every month, I had my period like clock work and felt the ovary release the egg. The doctors always said everything checked out ok with me but nothing was happening . That's when I decided to look into natural supplements to boost my chances and produce stronger ovulation, not long after I started taking them in August did I fall pregnant twice and then with the one I'm carrying.

AFM, I feel really weird, I don't know if it's normal... I feel my OH is acting different towards me, we used to sit together and cuddle on the sofa and now we sit on opposite ends. At night he always used to hug me till I fell asleep and now we are on opposite ends of the bed, especially since we switched to a King size bed. Many times I'll feel him near me but not enough to hug me... I don't know it's just different... I asked him once and he said he was scared to touch me because I'm pregnant, but at this stage of the pregnancy, I am beginning to feel self concious and his attitude is not helping He kisses me good night every day and in the morning kisses me good bye, then kisses the belly and says good bye to Jonathan. But I feel weird... Don't know if it's normal, advice?

 

[ayclobes]

Beach - When we lost hudson, they said he had developed an extra 13 chromosome, and part of me thinks it was a bad egg to begin with. But now this lil man is healthy and growing..and moving around in there like everything..but he does have his lazy days. Have you thought about injectibles at all? i did those the month/cycle i got pregnant with lil man. They say the injectibles are supposed to help with egg quality.


When i got pregnant with lil man, my lp was all out of wack because i didnt even O until close to cd30..due to the injections/slow protocol.

 

[lexi374]

Emme i think maybe blokes are a bit weirded out by this pregnancy thing!! Lol!

Mine has not been near me (which im actually grateful for!) and has only felt her kick a couple of times, i dunno i think they struggle to get their head around it all, and i think the losses perhaps make them more detached?

And pregnancy makes us feel a bit vulnerable and insecure, i wouldnt worry if everything else is ok. xx

 

[lexi374]

Oooh ayclobes it's V day tom for you!!

 

[Nicki123]

Soop and SATH - I hadn't realised thyroids caused so much trouble. Am adding is to my growing list of things to quiz the dr about. and Wookie am also adding 'not best eggs' on the list and ayclobes 'injectibles'. The poor Dr is going to dread seeing me....

Lexi, hope the jabs arent hurting anymore.

Emme - hope things get a little easier for you, don't like to think of you being so uncomfortable already And a for OH, I think you just need to have An honest chat with him. He needs to know if he's making you feel awkward, I am sure he doesn't mean it

Beach, very exciting about house-moving! I want to move next year. Totally understand you wanting to give it another month before ttc again x

Hi everyone else

Afm, had a bad day yesterday, was feeling very tearful / upset / tired/ annoyed by every little thing, but feeling much brighter today. Phew. I can cope with the odd wobbly day here and there but only if it's inbetween lots of better ones.

 

[lexi374]

Thanks nicki my flu arm is fine but the whooping cough 1 is still a little sore although much better than it was!

Sorry you had a bad day yest but that's totally normal, i found they crept up on me when i least expected it. After the first 1 i bottled everything up but then burst into tears in the work canteen a couple of months later. Dont even know why.

A lot of the time id think i was fine then dont even know what would set me off and id be in floods off tears, poor dh didnt know what to do and i hated being like that. I guess its a normal part of the grieving/healing process. Be kind to yourself sweetie x

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi, you're right pregnancy does make you more vulnerable, which is why I need him to show me he loves me more than ever. I just need his support you know

Nicki, I've decided I am going to talk to him about it, he just need to be more affectionate, not just when he wants to but over all. As to feeling down, it's understandable, I hope and pray the days get easier for you as time goes by. Huge, ginormous to you my dear.

 

[JFG]

hey ladies
Sorry i have been around much lately and haven't kept up to date with you all. Hope you are all doing ok.

I am 10 dpo today and its my mmc baby due date today and got another BFP!! I am so happy but also so scared as its very early days, af isn't due until sunday and i had a chem pregnancy in August! trying to keep PMA though and hopefully this is 3rd time lucky!! My DH is 30 in 1st week Nov this would make his birthday so fingers crossed its here to stay, haven't even told DH yet and not sure whether to wait until next week after i've missed af!

Just a bit worried as i have no symptoms whatsoever no sore bbs nothing

 

[BeachChica]

Emme- I think it's normal for them to feel awkward with you being pregnant but I definitely would talk to him about it. It's omething you not want him to gt out of the habit doing especially if he was so good about it before.

JFG- congrats on your BFP!!! we were due for some good news in here. I really hope this will be 3rd time lucky for you!!!

 

[ayclobes]

Lexi - yesss! ahhh! i can't believe it and the fact that i'll be in the 3rd tri in 3wks! wow!

 

[SATH]

AF arrived y'day not surprised as timing was out. My 1mc due date is looming next month how do you get through it.

Great to see a new bfp congrats

 

[ayclobes]

Sath - I had a mmc last november, and i guess since i knew the reason why the baby didnt get continue to grow made me feel better---the baby would have been a DS baby and baby did develop an extra 13 chromosome.

 

[Sooperhans]

HivHi ladies, ahh Nicki sorry you have had a bad day or so, I think you are doing really really well. You are so brave but if you aren't feeling it some days then go with it, let it all out and the next day is a new day. I hope it all gets better from now xx and yes, thyroid stuff is shit! Hope you can get it ruled out...

Jfg yay, great news! Sometimes no symptoms is a symptom in itself...I'm sure I read it somewhere. Let us know how you get on, and did you tell Dh? I'm sure he'll be excited whenever it is that you tell him

Emme yes best to talk it through and explain you aren't made of china and a lovely cuddle still would be welcomed, especially if he spoons you! Hope the belt is helping you xx

Beach, sounds sensible to wait a cycle or so, have you got any further testing your way? Have you considered anything like acu/reflexology to help get your strength up? After everything you have been through

Ayc great news on V day!

Lady, is there any further news on Elsa? Hope you are ok

Sath, sorry af showed, argh hate that witch! Give yourself time on your edd, I'm not sure anything out there will make it better but some people light candles, which I think is nice. And lots of cuddles x
