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

[NewToAllThis]

Ntat, I was in tears reading your story. Firstly you did AMAZINGLY well, with all the shit that got thrown at you. Well done for resisting the general c section, well done for dealing with your pain with the poorly administered epi. Were you induced in the first place due to passing your dd or another reason? I hate to hear how many points your were let down by your 'care givers' and that nurse who didn't check Hugo is appalling. You were so strong to push for all you were worth when you had been through so much. You ought to be so proud of yourself and I'm so pleased Hugo is doing so well now, bless him. Xxx

Afm....I've been back and forth from the hospital a couple of times this week. I've felt quite wet and leaky down there, still am...like watery. They checked for hind waters on Thurs at 6.30am, said it wasn't but took a swab. I'm hoping to hear the firm result on Mon. Also I wasn't 100% on the amount of movement I was feeling, so I've been hooked up to the monitors a couple of times and all fine. I've tried to take it easy the last couple of days, I was walking about quite a lot before and I'm wondering if I wasn't noticing some movements at times. So I'm pretty much waiting it out this weekend to see what's going on. Was quite scary on Thurs as they were talking about inducing me and I'm really not keen if we can help it! Will keep you updated xxx

Thanks hun. I was induced due to being 13 days overdue. It was an awful experience but do you know what - I have my rainbow and I am so thankful for that. I did think at the time that I'd never get over what I went through, I was very traumatised but as time goes on, the memory becomes less and less.

Hope you don't need to be induced and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your rainbow. You're team yellow aren't you? How exciting.
I can't believe you're nearly there.

The doctor didn't attempt to unblock and idk what he wants to do. They can unblock it we are paying for this out of pocket. He didn't tell me a lot cause he speaks little English. From my research PID can, STDs and are Endo. I had two occurances of PID in early 2011. Never had a STD, and idk if I have Endo

Ah right I see. So could be anything really but the PID could be responsible then. It's difficult if there's a language barrier.
Would be cheaper to unblock them than do IVF but I understand it's all money and the TTC wagon is an expensive journey.

Hope you can get some answers soon

Got DH's Spermiogram results. Some of it I don't understand... I'm translating the words from Turkish to English that I don't know, but even then I'm lost, I can't wait for Monday. Does anyone have a clue? I don't think it's good....

I can't see it properly - may be as I'm on my phone, but looks pixelated.
My DH has a low count so if you can give figures, I might be able to shed a bit of light on it for you.

Hi girls! Just popping in quickly to say hello! Hope everyone is doing well :wave:


Honey prayer- will you be on bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy? Oh gosh that would be terrible but definitely worth it to get your rainbow!!!

DS - isn't your hubby in the military? I thought they would cover some of your treatment, maybe not IVF but the blockage etc!

Soop - your almost there!!! Hope your little one stays put a little longer but you will have your rainbow soon!

 

[honeyprayer]

So far I've been told it's for the remainder of my pregnancy I've been referred to the high risk assessment unit at a different hospital and have my first appt with them on Tuesday. Hoping it goes well :/

To be honest, I am terrified and so scared.

Well it would cover some things, like HSG, 1 insemination and 6 rounds of Clomid, and one SA. Which I've had a HSG done on base, 1 round if Clomid and DH had a SA done. But put they can't help us anymore cause there is no OB/GYN on base. So they are leaving us on our own.

I hope everything goes well for you!


DH's semen analysis came back. He still has low motility and the head of his sperm are to big. He's been saying no to IVF but his mom convinced him last night.

 

[Nicki123]

Soop lovely to hear from you. You're so close now! Sorry it's been a weird couple of weeks but it's reassuring they have you hooked up to check baby is ok.

DS sorry about the blocked tube. I hope you and DH work out where to go from here.

New I will write about your story in your journal but

Hi everyone else! Afm 4 dpo now so just waiting ...

Oh gosh, well keep is posted. So does that literally mean in bed off your feet all day or can you still do things around the house? How does that work with you job (if you work?)

 

[honeyprayer]

Yup, in bed all day. I can get up to use the washroom and take a shower but other than that, nothing. It's horrible! But I hope it works and will be worth it in the end.

I'm signed off work completely for now and they are very understanding. I'm lucky to work in a position where I have great benefits and still get full salary while at home. I don't know what DH and I would do if we didn't still have my income coming in... It would definitely make things harder considering we just bought a house!

I've lasted the week on bed rest now so I'm hoping it continues. I meet with the high risk unit tomorrow so I hope they have good news for me or at least a plan. Apparently a treatment option is a cerclage which is a stitch in the cervix to help keep it closed. At this point, I'm wiling to do anything to keep her in there!

 

[BeachChica]

Wow that's great about your job. We just get 12 weeks off and only partial pay during that time so going out early would definitely be tough for me. I have heard of other girls on here getting the stitch and doing well with it so keep us posted about tomorrow!

 

[DSemcho]

Do you get paid while you're off to??



Ladies I have a question. Have ya'll ever heard of a way to unblock a fallopian tube withou surgery or another HSG? I've seen castor oil packets might work but I don't know.

 

[mommylov]

Get rest honey and hope that everything is ok. That is super sweet of your work!!!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

oh my gosh, congratulations hun

I'm so so pleased for you and welcome up the world little Blake!

Details please. Weight? Pic?

I know you must be so relieved as I remember your NT result etc. See , we all knew he would be perfect.

Well done mummy and welcome to team boy they're ace!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you so much Ntat, I know it is a huge relief everything is ok!

Born Mon 4th, 8lbs 2oz, I've tried to attach a pic here, hopefully it has worked.

Woo Team Blue!! Xxx

 

[NewToAllThis]

Aww, he's absolutely beautiful lots of lovely hair - did you have heartburn, lol.

Half an ounce bigger than Hugo was too. Did you end up being induced or did he decide to come on his own accord? I must admit I can't help feeling jealous of people who have their babies a bit early or on time after going 2 weeks overdue. They were the longest two weeks of my life

Boys are the best

 

[honeyprayer]

Congrats Soop!! He's beautiful

 

[NewToAllThis]

Honeyprayer, been meaning to post to you. How are you doing?
So sorry to hear about your cervix being short and being put on bed rest.

 

[honeyprayer]

Thanks NTAT. Holding up as best as I can. Met with the high risk doctor today and he's recommended I get a cerclage (stitch in the cervix to help keep it closed) so I am going in for that on Thursday. :/ I'm scared but if it helps keep her in there longer than it's something I'm willing to do!

I feel lucky though because the doctor I've been assigned to is actually head of the department so I feel confident that he knows what he's doing. He's also the doctor who will be performing my surgery on Thursday.

I guess this is just another hurdle to get me to my rainbow! But as I'm sure you know, we're pretty willing to do just about anything. You showed such strength during your birth story that I only hope I can show the same amount through this trying time.

 

[Bibliophile]

Congrats, Soop! He is adorable!

Hope the stitch goes well, Honey. That idea skeeves me out a little. Lol. But whatever it takes is exactly right!

 

[DSemcho]

Hey ladies... Had an appointment with my Women's Health doctor here on base because my tubes are blocked for a second time within a year... And basically there is nothing they can do but run a STD panel on me.... To see if I have Endo they would need to do a laproscopic on me, and they don't do that here... So basically unless my fertility doctor (which we have to pay for out of pocket) can figure something out.. I still don't know why he didn't attemp to flush on his own...



How're all of you doing?

 

[BeachChica]

Oh my gosh Soop - Congrats!!! So excited for you and welcome little Blake! Can't wait to hear all about it! He's beautiful - and whoa - a lot of hair!!!

Honeyprayer - good luck with your stitch tomorrow. Will you still be required to be on bedrest or will they wait and see.

DS - ugh so frustrating. How much longer are you stationed there or do you have any trips home soon to visit family? Maybe you could have something done here in the states?

How is everyone else doing? :wave:
