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

[thurl30]

Oh Emme, you can't say you haven't tried bless you, so what's the latest you can go? x

 

[thurl30]

by the way, I was told a good way to start things off is to do a load of ironing

 

[monro84]

NTAT--Sorry I cannot help you there but GL. It will all be worth it in the end.

Ayclobes--Oh wow so sorry you have been going threw all that it seems like you get well at one thing then get another. Did you get the flu shot? I am not planning on getting one but I was just wondering.

Emme--Sorry you have not dilated any yet but Lexi is proof things can happen quick so just be prepaired to go any minute he is in position.

Thurl--I don't get the ironing part

AFM--AFM--Sinus/drainage better today. Last night I got sick after an hr or so of eating celery and peanut butter but I don't really think that was it. First time I got sick at night. However I was able to eat a good bit afterward then went and laid down to digest. I weighted myself last night and I have a scale that tells body fat and water %. Usually my water precent is between 51 and 56 but last night it was 45% . I guess I need to drink more water to keep from getting dehydrated but I am not a real fan of water right now.

Monro some of my friends told me that standing doing ironing for awhile is a good way to get things started

Sorry you were sick, I guess it's that mixture of hormones you have going on right now. I don't know how those scales work, but if your water is lower than normal then definately up it a little bit, dehydration does all sorts of things, can you add a bit of juice to it to make it more appealing? x

Ahh got it now. . Thanks I have not tried adding anything to the water yet I really might need to. I do like ice cold water but I cannot drink it quick before it gets room temp. However I am about done with a 16.9 oz bottle I know not alot but more then I have had for a few days. I have been worried about a UTI b/c I got them alot before being pregnant but I do not really feel like I have one. In the mornings I go and it kinda hurts but after I drink enough I am ok. I also don't have the urgency in going. Do they feel diferent when pregnant . I have heard from some that they did not know they had one until the dr told them they did. My back does get pains in it were my kidneys are sometimes but then it sometimes goes away so I am not sure if its just a back ach or what.

Found an intersting aritcle

Sicentist Discover why some women suffer repeated miscarriages

I kinda thought that that might be what was happening to me b/c of my loss in July since it implanted so late like 13 or 14 dpo late. I think I just got luck on this one.

 

[thurl30]

How about adding some chopped lemon or lime to your water? My friend gets UTI's alot, and when she was pg she had a couple, and she knew she had one because she said it was just like before she was pg, so I guess everyone is different x

Hello all hopefully some of you remember me...I have been on and off this thread from the early days, but have just been stalking for some time. So I know all of your stories. In case you do not remember or are new, I had an early mc in Aug 2011 and an ectopic in dec 2012 that lasted a looong time. Then found out i had a septate and had two surgeries to repair it, most recently in May. I have been ttc again now since end of july and yesterday at 11 dpo I finally got my bfp!! Hoping its a good sign that I got it relatively early as my others were like 14 dpo and the surgeries improved my uterus a lot (not perfect). Now I can't wait to call the dr. tomorrow to ask for betas and schedule an early scan! Wondering how early they will do one. I will be high risk so I'm sure they will get me in as soon as possible, but not sure how soon is possible. I hear Ntat got one at like 5weeks 6 days. Sorry for the selfish post after not posting in soo long but I do feel connected to you all after reading all along and have shared in your joys and prayed for your troubles, in the background.

Lexi had her baby? OMG!!!! Congrats to you, dear!!!!!!!!

 

[Ladyfog]

Just a quick post to say well done Lexi! So glad your little lady has arrived safe and sound.

Don't worry, your bits will get back to normal in time - the good thing about an episiotomy (if there is a good thing!) is that it'll heal nice and neatly. When I finally had the courage to have a look down there I was pleasantly surprised! Get your midwife to check it on one of her visits once your home

Pregnant ladies, the hormone drip does hurt, but I'm not sure it's any more painful than natural contractions, they just come a bit thick and fast while they're getting the levels right. Lexi's right, don't be afraid to go for an epidural, and gas and air is just lovely!

Hope anyone feeling grim gets better soon and hi to everyone!

AFM, Elsa is doing well and we likely to be heading to GOSH in feb for her operation but no date yet. We saw the consultant on 27th Dec and he's really pleased with her. She's above average height and weight so growing really well despite her poorly heart too. Not sleeping great at the moment as she's got a cold and just finished a bout of teething, looking forward to getting an uninterrupted nights sleep one day!

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Lady, lovely to hear from you. Glad Elsa is growing well - the op will be here before you know it and then your little lady will be getting better

Lexi how are you doing?

Thurl I'm sure it was a man who came up with that ironing theory!

Monro, hope you're well. That's another interesting article to add to my pile!

Kmp yes I remember you! Congratulations, happy and healthy 9 months to you and let us know if you manage to get an early scan (I'd say they are much more reassuring than betas)

Hello everyone else. Not much to report here, quiet and relaxing weekend. Have started opks to try and catch ov so I know if I'm booked into see prof Q at the right time x

 

[wookie130]

Lady! I'm glad Elsa's doing well, and thriving despite the heart defect...hopefully that surgery will fix her right up! I'm also glad to hear that episiotomies can be a GOOD thing...I don't think I'll be able to look at my nether-regions for ages afterwards, though!

KMP- I'm sorry to hear about the ectopic last month...but CONGRATS on your new BFP! I'm hoping with the septate removed, that you're now on your way to your rainbow baby! Please baby, stick in the right spot!

 

[monro84]

Emme--anything progressed yet???

thurl---I might get some lemons and do that. I found a drink that is sparkling water that I am in love with. But it has green tea extract 50mg so not sure if alot of it is good or the baby. It also has suralose as sweetner in it I found another that has asperthaine (sp) but I know thats not good but I did not find that out till I was about through with it. I don't think it hurt anything.

kmp--congrats on your BFP!!! I know your excited. I had my septate removed Dec 2011 and I am now the farthest I have ever made it. Are you high risk b/c of the etopic that you had in Dec or septate removal? I had my first scan at 4 wks 5 days b/c I had a pain on my left side but turned out to be corpus luthum cyst. GL and Sticky dust. Praying LO is in the right place this time.

Lady- So pleased Elsa is doing so good.

Nicki--I am doing good so far got an pap, GD test, Blood work, and US on Thurs. GL with catching O.

AFM--Feeling better with the cold/sinus congestion. I have reached less then 200 days today . I have been having some cramping but I am figuring that is growing pains since I can still hear the HB on the doppler. The HB has gone down some now its in between 165-170 (active) and 150 to 155 (sleeping/nonactive). MS has gotten worse in the last week or so I thought it was suppose to get better as you get farther. I had a sad dream last night where I woke up crying I have not done that since I was 8 or 10 but I drempt that I was in a church type place and it had a long glass hall into another room. That other room contained a loved one that passed that family members individually were allowed to visit for a certin amount of time like 60 seconds maybe 3 minutes very short amount. I just went in there and hugged my MIL and started crying and did not stop I even got in trouble for staying longer than the alotted time limit. She was like a second mother to me I just miss her so much and wish she could share this pregnancy with me here on earth. she would have been in the delivery room proably keeping my own mother from worrying so much and calming her down lol.

Hi girls.. havent posted in here n awhile. So great to see some of you are pregnant now! As for me, I am in the tww at the moment. I went into this cycle super optomistic seeing as how I changed drs and have been on rx prenatals, extra folic acid, and baby asprin due to the MTHFR but Im an emotional wreck today. I just want to cry and am preparing myself for a . I know its only 4 dpo but I just cant help it.

 

[NewToAllThis]

Sorry guys, selfish post alert.
I just need to get this down otherwise I think I am going to go mad.

After a successful scan last Thursday, everything has gone downhill. I started spotting again on Friday and after hospital orders, I rested all weekend and returned to work on Monday. Spotting is there, and hasn't gone - it is't heavy, only when I wipe but is brown and I have had a couple of stringy bits in it.

I have had my scan for the 17th brought forward to this Thursday 10th, but I just feel that it is all over once again and I don't know how to begin to cope.
I had such high hopes for this pregnancy with the NK cell diagnosis and the treatment plan (which I have stuck to religiously!)
I know I'm talking like its all over and I don't know for sure that it is, but I am at my wits end.

Sorry for the rant

 

[mommylov]

new, I truely hope that isnt the case and that thursday you will see your healthy bub. Ive heard of some women going through what you are going through and they went on to have healthy lo's. They say that there are many things that can cause the bleeding like cycts and it might be a good thing that your body it getting rid of it. I hope everything goes well for you on thursday.

 

[NewToAllThis]

Thanks mommylov, I hope you're right but I'm sceptical at this point

 

[mommylov]

Understandable... our innocence when it comes to pregnancy has been taken away from us due to what we have gone through I really hope it goes well for you at your scan and hang in there... you never know what will happen and this can just be something perfectly normal

 

[ayclobes]

Monro - I had a flu shot in oct/nov...but i still ended up getting the flu bug that was going around in december/january! my dh had it at christmas and i knew i'd end up getting it at some point in time. I had strep, flu, and then i had a yeast infection! ughhh!

 

[lauraemily17]

Hi ladies :wave:

Mostly silent stalker here. NTAT. I really hope everything is ok. You are taking Claxene? A blood thinner, well more accurately an anticoagulant? Did the spotting start after you started taking it? Could that be somehow causing the spotting as anticoagulants make you more prone to bleeding?

Good luck and congrats to all the rainbows and sending lots of from my little rainbow baby to everyone else.
