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

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Monro, I hope that is what the headaches have meant with me, I'll take more if that's the case! I've now got the sniffles off dh, inc coughing and sneezing...I hope it doesn't cause any probs this early on
I've got an acu appt this afternoon, so I hope she strengthens everything up for me.
About the "Junior" debate, go for what you want the most. I personally think we get the last word on that! Ages ago I said a boy's name to dh, who was like "def not"....then the other day, he said "you like that name, don't you"...lol...so hopefully our preferences sink in with them!

Wookie - all the luck and best wishes in the world to you today, I can't wait to hear more about little Hannah

Emme - Jonathan in GORGEOUS!! Love his hair!! Great pic, I hope you have settled in well with him? I'm just sorry you can't have more time off work But enjoy every minute hun, it's lovely to hear from you

Ntat - everything crossed for you on Sat! I can understand your apprehension, but I hope you have an amazing experience, looking forward to hearing your details hun

Nicki - congratulations on the new addition to your family; I soooo hope the next time is you hun xxx

Thurl, how are you getting on? Get the cbfm if it will help you - I nearly got one before and they are slightly cheaper on Amazon. Hope you are good chick

Mommylov - fab prog results!! I hope you are doing well

Kmp how are you? Beach, hope you are well! And everyone else? xxx

Afm...like I said, I've got acu this afternoon, I hope she finds all my pulses in good shape, and any probs I hope she fixes effectively! I've got this week off work with the pup, I'm so pleased I have this time and not having to sit at the desk. I'm trying to rest as feel shattered and what with this lurgy too, I'm trying to give myself a break. Whilst running after the pup a bit too, he loves the snow!
I went to the docs yday, I got a blood test form for thyroid levels, hcg x2 (48hr), more progesterone and I told her the only thing I'd done differently this month was to forget to take my mini aspirin - well actually I ran out and didn't get any more for a few weeks. She said in that case, stay off that now and carry on with the progest and vits, etc. I hope I'm doing the right thing by not taking it....hopefully. So I had blood test #1 this morning, and another on Fri morn. It was the only other 2nd appt I could get. Which means I may get test results #1 by the end of this week, but the other will be Tues at the earliest I guess. Which means I'll be back at work....god I so hope the results are good Trying not to worry but we've got everything riding on these....fxd.

And then I called the EPU today, they said last time I was there that I could come back through them next time for early scans. I have got one booked on April 4th, which will be 8 weeks, it was the earliest I could get with them - I wanted one at 7 weeks but hopefully it goes quickly. They said obvs if anything happens between now and then, then to call them back and we'll reassess. I hope I don't need to!

I hope it's all for real this time....xxx

Thanks Soop and hope acu goes well for you hun! Ive heard such great things about it but Im afraid of needles. heheh If it makes you feel better, I forgot my little pill case all together this morning. DH freaked out and said that I should drive home during lunch to get it. I just said that Ill have to take them when I get home. I take 3 1mg folic acid, 1 prenantal (NEEVODHA) and 1 baby asprin. I was told I didnt NEED the baby asprin but that it wouldnt hurt anything to take it. Howcome you are taking it? Maybe your dr is right and you might not need it? Hope that time moves quick and that its time for your scan in no time!

Emme, your little man is just darling! Thanks for sharing pics and hope you are having a good day at work!

Soop, best of luck this sat at your scan!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks mommylov! Had a nice acu session. Yeah, it's been really good for me, in that it regulated my cycles and gave me richer, better blood too. With the whole needle thing, I'm not a massive fan but I don't tend to look at them much or at all, and that kind of makes it easier.

My acu lady was so enthusiastic and positive...basically I'll be going every week for the first tri, then once a month after. She said the success she has had with other pregnant ladies has been significant: in fact, there's only been one lady having acu to then still go on and miscarry. I hope I don't make it a 2nd!! Eek.

Feeling quite positive all in all. Ive got a bit of a question out of it though....what dates do I go from?? She calculated from my ov date, which puts me at 3 weeks. The doc goes by last period, which puts me at 5 weeks on thurs. It's quite different! She said NHS always goes by af date, when I told the epu, they said 8 weeks for my reassurance scan. But if it's actually 6 weeks, am I going to see anything?? I'm desperate for the idea of seeing a hb....again if I get there. Not sure really which one to refer to....xxx

 

[mommylov]

I would def go by what the dr is saying. The reason I say that is because you will know that based on the testing and what not they do, they have specific criteria that they go by and have been for many many years to determine gestestional age. It has worked for this long and not saying that your acu person is wrong. There is a 2 week window there from LMP and conception which is why women dont give birth all at the same time. Some 38 weeks, some 39, some 42. We are all so different and so I dont think anyone can really tell us for sure. Which do you feel is more acurate?

 

[Nicki123]

Emme your little man is gorgeous, he has proper grown up hair! Adorable x

Hi everyone else, hope you're well, flying visit x

 

[BeachChica]

Soop - after a loss unfortunately I don't think the worry will ever go away until you have a baby in your arms. I am sure some milestones will help though. Sending lots of prayers for you! Looking forward to hearing about your test results! Oh, and usually dates are tracked from LMP.

Lady - that's terrible that they keep moving Elsa's date. Such an emotional roller coaster for you thinking the day is here, then its not.... ugh!

Monroe - Congrats to you on a BOY!!!

Wookie - can't wait for your update!! Good luck!

Mommy - the temping takes a couple months to get used to, but I love taking mine and actually feel a bit lost on what is going on with my body when I don't temp. Try to stay positive - your little one will come, some of us just have to work harder at it!

Emme - what a great pic!!! How are you doing?

:wave: to everyone I missed!

First of all CONGRATS!!


IMO and experience, your OV date is much more accurate. My doc went by my AF date and I would measure a few days off from his calculations because they based it on a 28 day cycle and ov'ing on/around CD 14. I was on a 30 something day cycle and did not ovulate until around CD 17. That doesn't sound like a lot but it can make a difference especially in early scans.

I did see a hb at 6 weeks with my second m/c but I was not expecting to due to being so early. So you may or may not see anything if you're right around 6 weeks.

I went for my first scan at 5+5 by LMP and there was a heartbeat. I was totally not expecting there to be one, it was amazing!

 

[mommylov]

That's great!!!! So happy your lo has a heartbeat!

Thanks Beach! I think youre right in that it will take some time to get use to temping

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you everyone....I just went back to the docs and they said again go by lmp, whereas acu lady is all about the ov date. I'll have to remember both! Either way, I just hope I get to the early scan...and see something. Beach you're right, you never can fully relax into it :'(

They are still trying to work out what to do with my thyroid tabs....as apparently the hcg effect can kick your thyroid into working a bit more, which has shown uo on my latest blood results. I raised my meds myself, they are going to call a specialist to see the best course of action. Hmmm

The other blood result was on my betas....as of Tues AM I was 1,119 highest I've been! Ever. I have another blood test on Fri, I soooo hope it shows the appropriate increase....

I hope everyone is well today? Xxx

 

[mommylov]

Ohhh do they think there is a posibility of twins?!?!?! How exciting!

 

[Sooperhans]

Mommylov, my Dad's a twin! That would be lovely......not sure the numbers would mean that though at this stage. I looked on google for an average chart, and it seemed to tally with that, for the 4 1/2 week timing. We'll see! I just hope this one sticks and that the next set of numbers show a good increase. Me and dh are almost daring to believe it, but remain cautious at the same time...

 

[mommylov]

This is your rainbow babe and you will bring this baby home! So happy for you!

Ive been feeling weird this cycle. I really feel like Im pregnant. No symptoms just a gutt and heart feeling. I have has come moderate cramping on and off for the past few days and my temp is still high so Im keeping my fingers crossed. Im about 9-11dpo and I testeds this morning and it was a bfn but I havent gotten a + before af was due in the past. I just dont know what to think

 

[ayclobes]
