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

[mommylov]

So, we didnt bd last night. DH really wants to stick to dr's orders this time and says that if we dont fall pregnant this month, then next month he will listen to me. Woke up this morning with what I thought was O aches. Went to the dr for a follow up scan from tuesday and my uterine lining "looked great" and was at 12 which is awesome! She then goes to check the folli and tells me that it looks irregular. Before I could freak out she said "It almost looks like you are in the process of ovulating". I KNEW IT! I told DH after we left that we shouldve bd last night. We were contemplating going home to bd before we went to work this morning lol. The dr said that we are fine to bd when we get home and have time so thats the plan. She also said that if I dont fall pregnant this month, that she is going up the clomid to 100mg next month. She said from the looks of things, I should be fine with the increased dose. I hope I fall this month!

thrul--so sorry the witch came.. but Nov is s great month for the baby to be born. It's my b-day month

mommylov--oh no lol. Well either way I do want them close in age probably no more than 2 yrs apart if I am lucky and it does not take another 2 yrs to get pregnant. I am not going to get on bc after birth b/c so will probably be ntnp for a while but it will be nice to not have to worry about when I O and testing before af is due. I could not do that while ttc way to anxious but will need a break from pregnancy for a little while lol. I always hoped that I could find out around 8 wks that I am pregnant so I would be half way over the 1 trimester and alot of my friends found out then to so much eaiser. But I am not that patient and I was pretty regular.
OH wow that great I bet you will catch that eggy this month so cool you can see your self O. Get all you can tonight since you said he has low sperm count then those 2 days you did not bd will strengthen the sperm. GL

NTAT--LOVE the scan so excited for you

lexi--she is too sweet so precious I hope I have one like yours

Nicki--oh so fun I vote for a cruise also.

wookie--will keep my fx that you will be able to have the Vag birth you want.
I can't wait till I start to feel kicks.

Beach--Not really I really just copied what I did in Aug of 2011 when I got pregnant with the twins/triplets. I stopped all the new vitamins I was taking and just took prenatels, baby asprin, vitamin E, and vitamin b. I used preseed and the weird thing is I started biting my nails again. I had quit since April or May and we started back ttc around then. I really did not think that it had worked this month b/c we did not bd as much as I wanted to. I figured since he was fixing to leave the day I O'd or the day before I O'd then it would lower my chances and he did not finish the monring he left b/c he was to excited on his trip. Whats funny is he tells people that I got pregnant when he was in Missouri which is technically true lol.
Have you called on the betas yet?

 

[mommylov]

2 years apart is perfect! I think the no bc is a great plan too so that way it will give your body time to heal from the pregnancy and gear up for the next! Plus if you continue to take the prenatals while breasfeeding, then you will def be in great shape to ttc #2!

My hubby actually doesnt have a low sperm count but we have never gotten him tested so who knows. I think all the issues we have had are from me. We started ttc back in May of 2012, I fell pregnant that first cycle then baby had no heartbeat at 8 weeks so had a d&C. Got cleared 2 months later and tried again and got pregnant again but this time I mc naturally at 5 weeks so seeing as how Ive gotten pregnant twice pretty quick with no meds, I dont think its him I think its me. The dr did all sorts of tests on me and only found the MTHFR 1 copy which I take Neevo, extra folic acid, and baby asprin for. The baby asprin is something I wanted to and the dr said I didnt need it but it wont hurt anything either so Im taking it. I think she started me on clomid to help get better sized follicles and help with the progesterone during the LP but she has me on Crinone starting 3 days after ovulation just incase the clomid doesnt do anything. Hoping this all works!

Hi girls - just a quick update from work. HcG from 1/30 came back at 57 and Progesterone low at 5.8. She mentioned wanting me on progesterone right away. I hadn't started my progesterone at 5 DPO this month because I didn't think I was going to get prego this cycle but I did start it on the 30th when I got the BFP so hopefully the 10 day delay is not an issue.I am getting the HcG tested again today so hopefully it doubles.

 

[mommylov]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Beach! How far along are you?

Beach, have you gotten it done yet? I'm on pins and needles waiting for your results! I remember how hard it was waiting on the results for my last beta series...it was tough, to say the least.

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks girls, I had my beta's a little while ago. Won't have the results until Monday though ugh!

Mommy - by LMP I would be 5 weeks today but if you look at my chart, O was late for me this month at CD 18 and possibly implantation 12 days later on CD 30. I had the first beta done on CD 34 so that's only 4 days after implantation which I think is when you actually start producing the HcG. So hopefully being that low is normal. Everything just seems so late this month. Not quite sure what that egg was doing for 12 days as it took its sweet time strolling down my Fallopian tubes!!

 

[wookie130]

Beach- Hang in there!

 

[mommylov]

Its still early beach so try not to fret... I found this chart and you are still within range. Monday's results will hopefully bring some peace of mind

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml
* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman&#8217;s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks Mommylove - Hopefully everything is OK, since I was really in that 4 week range when they were taking, plus a pokey slow egg!!

 

[ayclobes]

Hey ladies! my induction date is in 4 days! I cant believe it!

Beach - congrats! hopefully your beta results is a good one!

 

[BeachChica]

How exciting ayclobes!! In just a couple days you will be a new mom! (I know you have one other right... but I think this will be your first birth).

 

[ayclobes]

Beach - yes you are right, T is our great nephew, but he'll be our DS once the adoption goes though//is final. He just turned 1 on 1/31! We should have a baby on 2/6 or 2/7 depending on how long labor lasts for me!

So, we didnt bd last night. DH really wants to stick to dr's orders this time and says that if we dont fall pregnant this month, then next month he will listen to me. Woke up this morning with what I thought was O aches. Went to the dr for a follow up scan from tuesday and my uterine lining "looked great" and was at 12 which is awesome! She then goes to check the folli and tells me that it looks irregular. Before I could freak out she said "It almost looks like you are in the process of ovulating". I KNEW IT! I told DH after we left that we shouldve bd last night. We were contemplating going home to bd before we went to work this morning lol. The dr said that we are fine to bd when we get home and have time so thats the plan. She also said that if I dont fall pregnant this month, that she is going up the clomid to 100mg next month. She said from the looks of things, I should be fine with the increased dose. I hope I fall this month!

Hi there, my dr actually has me on the prenatal Neevo, 3 mg of folio acid, and baby aspirin. The baby aspirin wasn't something she said I had to take but I asked if I can just in case and she said yes and that it wouldn't hurt anything. Seeing as how I have mc twice, she said that the mthfr definitely could've played a role since it interferes with our bodies being able to process folic acid. That's what the Neevo is for. It has the folic acid already converted so that my body can just absorb it. You may want to ask your dr about it.

 

[Nicki123]

Beach, just wanted to say i have my FX for some great beta results for you tomorrow.

Ayclobes so exciting, your time is so close!

 

[wookie130]

^^wss!

 

[BeachChica]

Mommylov and Amazing - I also have high homocysteine due to the MTHFR. My doctor prescribed Folgard 2.2 for me after my body was not absorbing OTC Folic Acid well. I take it twice a day. Many believe it can contribute to miscarriages. Not 100% sure if that is my issue though because the MCs I've had that were tested have been chromosomal issues and not sure it would contribute to that. I also take baby aspirin. My doctor doesn't feel strongly either way that it would help prevent a MC but he feels there are so many other benefits to baby aspirin and it wouldn't hurt, so I take that too. Good luck!!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Good luck for your betas tomorrow Beach thinking of you

 

[mommylov]
