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

[Emmediva]

Monro, my numbers were in the 100,000's when I had my scare at 11 weeks 2days, so I think it slows down till later LOL.

NTAT, great that you and your husband are doing much better, I know cell phones can get in the way sometimes I've noticed my SO and I barely talk when we are out eating, we are mostly on our iPhones so yeah I can see it can be an issue
I hope you get answers about the NK cells, and I know what you mean about wanting something wrong to fix it but at the same time not wanting anything to be wrong. I think the lining is an issue though, I wonder why they can't give you anything?! How long is your luteal phase?

 

[NewToAllThis]

Emme, my LP is between 12-14 days so I reckon its ok - what do you think?

My cycle is normally 26 days, ov on CD12/13. This month, ov was CD13 and cycle 28 days.

 

[Emmediva]

It sounds right, my cycle was always 28-29 days and I o'ed around 13-15. Have you tried taking Wild Yam supplements? You take it after ovulation is confirmed, it contains natural progesterone and estrogen, so it can help thicken your lining.

Thurl - I know you have tons going on with your family at the mo so just wanted to send you a

Emme - lovely pic! I love seeing what the BnB ladies look like, great to put a face to the name. I haven't been so brave yet...

Ambi - oh that is such wonderful news! You must be on

Ayclobes not too long left for you now.

Monro, great numbers you've got going on there.

NTAT, I know exactly what you mean about the NK cells tests, I feel like its my last hope too and if that's also normal I'll feel a bit unsure of what to do next. I want them to find a problem that they can fix!! Glad you are Darren are doing well now

Notoptomistic how are you doing?

Soop what dpo are you on? Have my fx for you so much

Afm - thanks for the well wishes ladies, had a wonderful time in Copenhagen. It was our 3rd anniversary (though we've been together for 16 whole years!) we did loads of walking around and sightseeing by day, and visited a few christmas markets so im feeling festive now We stayed in an apartment so could stay in some evenings and watch dvds and eat in cus it's pretty expensive. We got through lots of wine and the first DVD of the Killing box set (how apt for Copenhagen!) Unfortunately work has been absolutely manic since I've been back so it feels like it was weeks ago already. Oh well!

Have my consultant apt on Friday, so many questions ...

Wild yam, thanks for that - I will look it up. Have been trying to find some natural supplements to help and so far the RLT seems to be the only thing recommended.

 

[NewToAllThis]

Nicki - gl for your consultant appointment. Make sure you write a list of your questions cos if you're anything like me you'll go there with a head full of things to ask and then mind goes blank when you're in there.

 

[SATH]

How is everyone doing? Soz been a bit quiet as late. It was the dreaded due date y'day it was a tough day we released a chinese lantern last nite it was such a beautiful clear nite the moon was huge. Praying i'll b pregs for the next one in march x

 

[monro84]

ayclobes--My FX you'll go into labor before the can induce you also. GL

NTAT--I will be praying that you get the result you want on your NK test. Have you tried Maca root I think it helps in regulating hormones and that might help with thickining your lining. I know the feeling in wanting to find out what is wrong if I loose this one I don't know what I will do. Not sure what other test I can take. I never had an NK test I don't think they do those much in the states. I think the next route would get my DH to get a sperm analysis.

Emme--well mine is slowing down I hope that does not mean anything. It was 9988.4 on Mon then wed it is 14460.5 that is 89 hrs doubling time however I have read over 6000 it takes 96+hrs but it levels off around10 wks or so. So my numbers could still get as high as yours did. Just so nervous about the scan tomorrow praying to see a HB. Love the baby bump pic.

Nicki--So glad you had a great anniversary. Sounded fun. Me and my DH will be married for 7 yrs next July but we will have been together for 12 in Feb. on valentines day.

SATH--So sorry you had a bad day that sounds like a wondeful way to remember your angel.

AFM--My numbers Mon was 9988.4 wed they were 14460.5 so they are slowing down I think it is still appropriately going up though because I have read that once it gets past 6000 then it takes over 96 hrs to double and mine were at 89 hrs so that is still above normal doubling time. I have my scan tomorrow so nervous about it. I am praying there is a HB I read somewhere that usually over 10k there is a HB and I will be 1 day from 6 wks. but then I will have to wait till at least 7 wks 2 days before I can go back unless I make an appt with my regular OB here in town instead of my RE 2 hrs away. The manager will be out of town next week and I have to stay here unless it is absolutely necessary for me to have an US next week at my RE.

 

[Nicki123]

Monro - just stopping by quickly to say I hope everything goes well at the scan today. Thinking of you.

 

[Sooperhans]

Me too....good luck! I willl catch up here over the weekend x

 

[Emmediva]

Good luck Monro, hope all is going good with your beanie

AFM, had my checkup yesterday, baby weighs 5lbs 4oz. I'd had some very light spotting (no reason for it) in the morning so they checked my cervix, firm and closed but it has shortened from last checked up, it went from 3cm at 30 weeks to 2.3cm at 32weeks. I'm a little concerned since I've read online that it should be around 2.9 to 4.3cm at 34weeks and as baby puts pressure on it, the cervix shortens and then dilates once it is short enough. I didn't meet with the doctor, it was a nurse practitioner so I am not too confident in her

 

[monro84]

Nicki, Soop, Emme Thanks so much everything is great so far at 5 wks 6 days saw a yolk sac and itty bitty baby dot and a HB of 96.15 He said that was great everything looked great the CRL (crown rump length) was 3.26mm which on the report that he put up online for me to ck says that is 6 wks but the ultrasound said 5 wks 5 days but he said they are a day off sometimes so I am inbetween 5 wks 5 days and 5 wks 6 days I guess you could say I am 5 wks 5 1/2 days lol. The gestational sac in his report measured 6 wks 4 days at 16.52 mm? So so far good he wanted me to come back next week but I told him I could not till that next mon so on my next US I will be 7 wks 2 days that would be the fartherest I would ever have been with a Heart beat if there is one. Still no MS.

 

[Emmediva]

So happy for you Monro!! YAY!!! Don't stress over MS, I didn't have it and I'm almost at the end of my pregnancy. I think I had nausea and vomitting all together like 5 times total LOL. So yeah don't worry

Thanks. I am fine with not having it as long as there is a HB. Hope I am as luchy as you.

 

[thurl30]

Hi everyone :wave:

Ambi congratulations hun, so pleased all is going well for you

Emme fab bump pic hun you look really healthy , can you go and see the doctor about your cervix?

NTAT good to hear you and dh are getting on better now hun, sorry to hear about what you’re going through with the FS, that’s so rubbish they just let you get on with it, and that whole BMI thing makes me really mad, 30 is just so unrealistic! Atleast Prof Q is fighting your corner, fingers crossed something shows up in your tests and they can help you, it’s so frustrating but hopefully it will only be a few more days and you will hear something

Nicki so pleased to hear you had a fab time away, a well deserved break How did you consultant appt go?

Sath sorry to hear you reached your due date, the lantern sounds a lovely thing to do, hope you’re doing ok

Monro I am so so pleased to hear everything is ok so far, this is all looking good hun I have everything crossed this is it for you

Afm I haven't been on here much, got alot on (it's all in my journal so won't go in to it here), that said, I am VERY happy this morning, in the 16 months I have been ttc I have never ever had a positive OPK, but then this morning this happened

 

[NewToAllThis]

Thurl - that's a great positive, congrats. Now get and lots of it

 

[NewToAllThis]

Monro - congrats to you, fxd all stays as well as it is now. Seeing the hb is a great first step

 

[wookie130]

Monro, that's wonderful news. I'm still sending tons of sticky baby dust your way!

Thurl, awesome!!! I loved the smiley digis...I was using the CBFM for MONTHS to no avail, and it was those digi OPK's that REALLY told me when to get busy and dtd...you're going to want to do it today, and at least 2-3 times over the next two days or so. Good luck!!!!

 

[thurl30]

Thanks ladies, how long after these positive tests am I likely to ovulate? I just did some more and they are still smiley We BD'd last night and this morning, I don't want to over do it but realisticly we only have tonight or tomorrow night, what would you ladies do?

Wookie how are you feeling hun? I can't believe you are 25 weeks that has flown by x

 

[ayclobes]

Thurl - that's great! I know with the digi when you get a smiley face, you can expect to o 2-4 days after, but if its a cheapie opk you can expect to o within 36-48hrs or so. i'd keep bd'ing as much as you can this week!

Monro - so glad lil bean is growing and you could see a hb! that's great for 5 1/2 wks! i didnt see preston's hb until i was 7w!
