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

[Nicki123]

Hi Petzy - sorry for your loss just to confirm that opks pick up the pregnancy hormone too. I've had fun peeing on an opk when pg before (cus they're cheaper than pg tests!)

DS - oh man, was that the same person who sent you those 'helpful' messages before??

Hope everyone else is ok.

 

[Petzy]

Okay so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here goes: so I'm just in the end stages of my miscarriage, bleeding is almost done and I am just light spotting now. My hCG was down to 430 on Tuesday. I was planning on going again next week on Tuesday or Wednesday to test it again. Anyways, so Ive seen so many different stories about when to start OPK's again after a miscarriage. So I just got home, and for shits and giggles I decided to take an OPK. It was a blaring positive, and I do mean blaring! Now I am pretty sure that there is no way that I could be ovulating already. It is just too early! So do you think that this is just the leftover hCG in my system waiting to get out? Maybe I should wait to use my OPK's until next week sometime? Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Usually you won't ovulate til levels are below 5. The OPK os probably still picking up the HCG.

Are you getting levels checked again?

Thanks girls! I'm getting checked again next week so hopefully it's much lower and I can look forward to starting my OPKs

 

[Petzy]

Thanks Nicki, it was fun! Lol but now I will wait it out. And I'm trying to make a ginger baby myself lol.

Good luck to you this cycle xx

Ladies, I have discovered the secret to getting pregnant... Apparently you just have to have unprotected sex.......

Yes..... Someone just said that to me....

<&#9632;&#9632;&#9632;&#9632;&#9632;&#9632; Wow!
I am amazed at some people's sarcasm. Really, let's see we aee doing IVF because the sex isn't doing it. Dohhh.

Maybe we are all doing it wrong, maybe sex isn't the option swallowing or punching holes in condoms is the way. Opps wrong hole. Roflmao.

Here is to hoping for low low numbers so you can get an rainbow baby.

Doctor said both tubes are blocked. Only option is IVF. We could do embryo freezing so if the one attempt at IVF doesn't work we have embryos and it's less than half the price of IVF. But hubs told me on the way home he doesn't really want kids and doesn't really wanna do IVF and only is so me and his mom won't bitch at him about not trying. So... Idk.

 

[Nicki123]

DS ... I'm so sorry. Shit.
See what DH says in a day or two. He might just be having trouble digesting the news. It's a lot to take it. I think you deserve another one of these

 

[DSemcho]

Is this true????



The last sentence

Im really sorry you had to hear that from DH.. I am in somewhat of a similar situation.. DH doesn't want them nearly as bad as I do - he is ok if we didn't, and he is ok if we do. If it was his choice he probably wouldn't, but he knows how much it means to me and is on board with TTC. I wish he was more passionate about it but I cant force him. I know when I was pg, he was getting excited, so maybe part of this is self protection for them?

Give it a few days.. how do you feel?

Embryo freezing seems like a good option financially so you don't have the full IVF $ burden with every attempt.

Did the doctor say there was no option to have surgery to unblock your tubes?

 

[DSemcho]

We're only doing IVF once cause we are moving in a year and a half and don't know where we are going and have to save for that. And no he didn't, there is a large language barrier cause he is Turkish.

I know that sometimes surgery is an option depending on how the tubes are blocked so perhaps a second opinion or follow up before you get into the IVF process?

 

[DSemcho]

Surgery is more expensive. And we have to pay out of pocket, military insurance doesn't cover fertility treatment.

 

[HannahTTC]

Well I myself have an update, not a good report.

I guess my body tried to ovulate but failed to do so this month. My period showed full force tonight. I am very disappointed. I was hoping it would not til next week when I could get my Femara.

Looks like it won't be til December when I will be back on my Femara cycles.

 

[DSemcho]

Aw Hannah I'm so sorry

 

[ttcmoon]

DS - I am so sorry to know about your blocked tubes.It is really hard to digest.I would also prefer IVF over surgery.In Surgery you get more cycles and can try yourself but in IVF they actually fertilize the egg in lab.So in my personal opinion IVF gives more hope.Also as your insurance is not going to pay you for any of them, you need to take care of the finances as well.
But tube surgery is better option for long term!Take a second opinion if possible.
Did your hubby got ready to go for IVF at last?

Hannah - I am so sorry dear

Nicki, Petzy- How are you doing?

AFM - I went for follicular scan today and seems like I stopped responding to fertility injections.My follies are not growing as much as they should.The lining is not good as well.I am doomed!I am only spending money and time without any result for long time now, really tired
My IUI will be on next week it seems.I really hope this one works.

 

[DSemcho]

We are doing the IVF and looking into embryo freezing if we have enough embryos. (freezing for one year plus implanting is only $2200 here where we are spending $3600 for IVF).

Also I read on a website that if you are experiencing extreme pain during a HSG that your tubes can close on their own when they are normally open.. Is that true?? Cause if it is then maybe they were only closed during the HSG cause I was in pain.

 

[Nicki123]

Hannah - so sorry AF arrived early and messed up your cycle this month. I know that feeling of missing an opportunity, it sucks. Fx for December.

DS I hope you figure out the way fwd soon.

Ttcmoon, so sorry things aren't going to plan. Have they given you any reason why the injections might have stopped working? I will still keep my fx that the IUI works.

AFM I went to an adoption meeting on Thursday and it was great. DH is totally on board. We are going to stop ttc if nothing happens by January (our 4 year anniversary of ttc) and move onto adoption. I am so excited that next year, one way or another, I will finally make progress towards being a mum. Oh and also this means only 2 cycles more of baby sex!! I am so over BDing and can't wait to get back to normal

 

[DSemcho]

Hahah Nicki!! I know what you mean about being tired of BDing for a baby... literally in the 3 weeks we are not TTC out of the month we have sex MAYBE 3 or 4 times! We both get tired of it. I'm happy to see that you are making progress! We're still in the discussion stage because of how much it might cost us if we have to go that route! one thing a lot of people keep telling me is to keep TTC because "so many people give up and adopt and then end up getting pregnant".. But I think you'd love that if it happened! Good luck!!

 

[Nicki123]

BDing is very tiring indeed! So over it now

In the UK you are asked to stop ttc when you adopt because they want to know you are 100% committed to it. And I think that's how it should be, you shouldn't be secretly hoping you get pg in the meantime. When we go down the route I want to do it full-on, no ttc. I want adoption to be my choice not my 'backup plan' and not to feel disappointed that I haven't had a successful pg in the meantime. I really am not remotely fussed if my future child is biologically mine or not and I'm also not fussed about having a baby, I would be happy to welcome a toddler into my family, so I know we are more 'suited' to adoption than some others. I am really excited about it!

I'm sorry you have to pay for adoption where you live, it's such a shame for the children needing a good home.
