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

[Nicki123]

Beach I am so happy for you. You must be thrilled! Stories like yours keep me going.
Remind me, did you do anything different this time or was it just 'good luck'?

Nicki - I did not do anything extra this time, actually I did less. I am usually taking all kinds of vitamins, progesterone after O etc. But this time I was just so exhausted about all of it that I wasn't quite as into doing all that stuff and paying so much attention to TTC. I was still taking my temps and trying around O but just tried not to stress myself out about it as much.

It's the age old recipe to success - stop trying. Worked for me

 

[honeyprayer]

Ditto!

 

[wookie130]

Well, and on the other side of that coin, I tried REALLY hard the month we conceived our rainbow...lots of OPK's, Clomid, B-50 complex, progesterone after O, prenatal vit, preseed, fertility monitor, baby aspirin. LOL!!!!

 

[BeachChica]

Wookie - I can't believe Hannah is 6 months old already! Where has the time gone!!???

 

[BeachChica]

I kind of meant were you taking any drugs or any meds to prevent mc (not to try and get pg) - New I know you were following Prof Qs protocol for NK cells, I couldn't recall if you'd been diagnosed with any reason for your previous mcs Beach and given anything to 'take' this time? But it sounds as though you weren't and things just worked out this time

Yeah, I kind of forget that people do get pregnant without a struggle. that was just another issue to add to my long list.

AFM - I'm starting to feel institutionalised *rocking back and forth foaming at the mouth* I don't know how much more I can take in here. I need to go home. It's driving me crazy.
Anyway, wont get too hung up on talking about it as majorly emotional and Darren has gone home so feeling lonely

Here's some Hugo pics to cheer us all up

Awwww look at little Hugo.

I can imagine you just want to get home New ... Do you think it will be soon? I hope so! X

 

[honeyprayer]

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time NTAT I hope Tuesday comes quickly for you!

Hugo is absolutely precious I love his cute little outfit! Looks all snuggly and soft.

 

[honeyprayer]

A question for all:

Do you think you'll start a pregnancy journal (once it happens or whether you are currently pregnant and also to those with their rainbows who have a pregnancy journal)? I've been debating the idea and to be honest, I feel like as soon as I start one, something bad will happen :/ Yet I would like one to eventually go back and read. Not sure what to do!

I'm really hoping its Tuesday Nicki. His last antibiotic is Tuesday am so hoping they remove the canula then and we can go home. I know that I'll have to discharged by paediatrics so its waiting for them to come round which may take a while. I asked one of the midwives what my chances and its one if three possible scenarios. Either, yes I can go. Will need further obs for 12 hours or repeat bloods doing. I hoping for scenario 1

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time NTAT I hope Tuesday comes quickly for you!

Thanks I just love dressing him in cute outfits but stuck with short sleeved ones due to his canula. Good job it's warm in the hospital.

I started a preggo journal after my official dating scan so was about 14 weeks. I did hear a rumour that admin ask you to move on once you finish first tri but not sure if that's true or not

I did feel like you though that it would jinx something but with the impending threat of being booted out by admin, I bit the bullet. I know how tough it is though to not feel like you will jinx things.

 

[honeyprayer]

Thanks NTAT. You are exactly right :/ I feel like I'll jinx something! And as crazy as it sounds, I'm still trying not to let myself get so attached just yet. Best I can do is take it day by day but it still seems so difficult to believe it'll work out.

Sorry to be such a downer but it's nice to finally admit to someone that this is how I've been feeling :/

I really hope you get scenario 1 on Tuesday

 

[BeachChica]

Nicki - sorry, I misunderstood. I have never been tested for High NK cells as nobody seems to really be interested in testing for this here in the US. I kept bringing it up but it's like they never knew what to do about it. Based on the fact that my MCs that were tested were all chromosomal problems I really think I just have a bunch of bad (and possibly old ) eggs. I am hoping that I just got lucky this time and found a good one. I did test low for progesterone on other pregnancies so I did start talking that when I got my BFP, even though I was supposed to start 3 DPO.

Honey - I too feel the same way about starting a journal. I want to start one to document my journey but I have never felt "safe" doing it, if that makes sense. I may start one soon.

 

[Bibliophile]

What a cutie! Hope you can go home soon.

There is a note in the TTC journals section that says you can keep the TTC journal until the first tri is over and then you have to move. I think that's what I'll do.

It's only natural considering what you've been through to feel like this. Please don't feel that you can't talk about it as we're all going or have been through what you are feeling. I didn't get attached to this pregnancy for ages. I think I was well into 20+ weeks before I stopped saying 'if' this pregnancy works out and not 'when' I have this baby.
I was supposed to be contacting the professor who treated me to let her know the treatment had worked - I still haven't done it. I kept saying 'I'll do it after 20 wk scan' and then I'd say 'I'll do it after I get to 30 weeks', then I said 'I'll do it when I hit full term at 37 wks'
When I reached 37 weeks, I said I'd wait until I'd had him and he was here safe and sound. So you see, the worry doesn't really stop.

Hugs honey, you do it when you're good and ready.

 

[Nicki123]

Thanks Beach, your story does give me hope and i'm hoping i get lucky too some time soon. I do feel that if I keep on trying, everything will just line up perfectly one time and i will have a pregnancy that works out. I just hope I'm not waiting too much longer...

Sending a big hug over to New and crossing my fingers you get to take baby Hugo home soon.

Beach and Honey, when you do start your journals, I will be following!
