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

[BeachChica]

Hi ladies :wave:

JW - Progesterone definitely seemed to be a bit low for me this time. My testing pre-pregnancy was normal but after I was pregnant it was definitely low. I was put on Progesterone but by that time I was about 6 weeks. A lot of things I read said you really should start right after O. I was a little hesitant about taking it, as it prolongs a bad pregnancy but with the low values it looks like I need it. I am sure I will be on it sooner next time.

LadyFog - I don't smoke or drink and actually every time I get pregnant I actually start eating really good and cut out sodas. I don't know what else to do other than maybe some exercise. I am not overweight but I am definitely in need of some cardio for my health.

ayclobes - are you temping? I find that using FF is really helpful and like patiently said, there are a couple times that I would have stopped doing the BD thinking that I O'd but I keep it up because I hadn't had the temp spike yet. Most I've read suggest doing the BD over other day leading up to O, then the day of O and day after (just to be sure )

NTAT - sorry you had a bad day a work. I totally understand! We too will get there one of these days!!!

How is everyone else?

AFM, just got out to our boat where we will be spending the long weekend. I brought my bottle of champagne that I didn't get to enjoy on New Years since (1) I was pregnant and couldn't drink and (2) I started spotting that day so i was really stressed. So my New Years will be this weekend and I am hoping to toast in a much better year in 2012!!!

[BeachChica]

Omgosh FloridaGirl! That is so great Congratulations! You must be ecstatic!!!

If you don't mind me asking, why are you taking the Clomid? I am not sure it would help in my situation but it's on my list to ask about at my next appointment.

 

[patiently]

FLORIDA!!! omgggggg yeaaaahhhhh!!! im so excited for you!! this is amazing, clomid can lead to multiples aww this is amazing news have you experienced any symptoms that are different from a singleton pregnancy? so thrilled for you hun x x x

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Thanks ladies I actually found out that I've got 3 sets of twins in my family! (Grandparents, great aunts, etc)

Patiently, Ive just had horrible MS. Like REALLY bad.

 

[RaspberryMini]

Wow congrats Florida! Awesome news!

Sorry I've been a bit missing lately, it's appraisal season at work and I have a few members of staff reporting into me as well as my own to do and my deadline is tighter this year as we are off to California in 10 days!

NSN - I did quickly check in on you see how you got on, I am so so please for you, one milestone down and the next scan will be here before you know it! Did you say a while ago you were off the Vegas soon? We are going to be in Vegas from 2nd Feb, just for 3 nights. Not sure how much I'll like Vegas without the cocktails! Will have to just hit the shops!

Not much to report here really, got a hospital appt on Thursday to see if they want to out me on baby aspirin for my long haul flights and had my 20w scan date through on 23 Feb! Hoping that goes quick, can't wait find out if we are team pink or team blue! Other than that I'm finding this to be funny stage, not really sick anymore, but look more fat than pregnant and can't feel anything yet, so it's just business as usual really. I want a badge to wear "no, I'm not getting fat, I'm pregnant!" managing 3 times a week at the gym, cardio only plus a weekend swim so I'm quite pleased with myself for that.

Sorry to hear your news too Beach

Lots seems to have happened while I've been off to the ladies who have been having a hard time, to the ladies who are trying and to everyone else!

 

[Ladyfog]

Wow Florida - the thread's first set of twins! Congratulations! Are you nervous? It's such a wonderful blessing, but we've got friends with twins and it's hard work too!

RM, so glad all is going well. I've only just started getting back into exercise again as I've been feeling so tired, so I'm jealous of you're gyming and swimming! I've been walking, but really want to get toned up again as I've got a bit wobbly over the last 4 months! I did my fitness DVD for the first time today and it felt really good so I'm going to try to mix that with some yoga, which I love, in the week too. We'll see how it goes! I know what yo mean about feeling fat - I didn't think I'd feel so freaked out, but I think you get so used to watching your weight while not pregnant it feels strange letting go and watching your weight creep up.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend

 

[lexi374]

Florida wow twins congratulations that is so exciting!!

Beach i hope you had a good weekend and got to enjoy your champers.

NTAT sorry you had a hard time at work, i work in a nursery... but i find this ok to deal with, its just that there constantly seems to be some1 or several people (parents etc) pregnant. I find that the hardest.

Patiently any symptoms?

Ayc did you get plenty bed in?

Nsn so pleased for you that you had a great scan, i think this 1s a keeper

RM and Lady time seems to be flying with you guys

AJ how are you doing?

JW Good luck coming off the progesterone, not long now til you're 12 weeks

Tweak how are you getting on?

Sorry if i missed anyone

AFM AF showed on thursday 2 days later than expected, which means i had a 12/13 day lp this month, 2 days longer than normal. Not sure how that happened?? I was throwing up mon night with a bug so maybe that delayed it? Cant remember the last time i was sick, knocked me for 6!

Im trying soy again this cycle as i had last month off x

 

[patiently]

Lexi so sorry AF came i hope next month is your month and you get your bfp!!!

Ayclobes...do you think you have all bases covered?

RM are you hoping for pink or blue? enjoy your holiday!!

AFM 7dpo and nothing to report really, no sensitive bbs which i usually get when pregnant so thats not reassuring...but have tons and tons of creamy cm!!! seriously its shocking! sorry tmi! small cramps here and there but i tend to get that most months...and if anything i feel more tired but that could be due to waking up at 4.30am every morning for work! trying not to symptom spot but its so hard!! really hope this is my bfp month ...and if not i will be prescribed 100mg of clomid, though i already ovulate on 50mg so dont really want to increase the dosage as im sure the s/e will intensify! anyhow sending lots of baby dust to those who are bd and testing soon! and to all the ladies who have approaching scans hope all goes well...

 

[RaspberryMini]

Patiently - I'm secretly hoping for and feeling pink as is DH, we even keep saying she! That's one reason why we need to know time to get our heads around a blue result! Obviously a healthy baby is the only really important thing at the end of the day.

Lady - I've found exercise has helped me with loads of things, I sleep better, have more energy, eat better and (TMI) but its helped with the constipation! I don't know if it's just getting into 2nd tri but I just feel loads better for it. Still waiting for that pregnancy glow though, I look worse than I have in years!

Hope everyone is well x

 

[patiently]

RM fc for a girl but im sure either way you'll be happy x

for all the pg ladies i know you have probably gone through this already or you may not remember but was your symptoms from your current bfp different in your tww than your previous pregnancies and what were your tww symptoms if you can remember sorry to bother you all x

 

[Ladyfog]

Hi ladies

Lexi, sorry AF turned up, and hope you're feeling better now too. Just keep trying and that BFP will happen soon!

RM, I did some yoga today too, which I really love and hadn't done for a while. I'm still getting very tired and that's been the problem with finding time for exercise but I'm setting my alarm a little earlier and doing it when I get up and that seems to be working so far. It's making me feel better about myself as I'm looking after myself - wow, my thighs have had it easy over the last few months though - they ache today!

Patiently, my 2WWs have been been similar for each of my pregnancies, it's the weeks after that that have been different. As a rule of thumb for me, every month I thought I was pregnant I wasn't, and when I thought I wasn't, I was! The main symptom was a lot of CM, but very little else. I didn't really have any symptoms apart from the odd twinge in my tummy until about 6 weeks. Never apologise for asking questions - happy to help where I can!

I guess I'll find out whether I'm having a boy or a girl next Monday as they already know from the chromosome tests!

Hope everyone else is OK and had a good start to the week.

I had weird things like ringing in my ears and more than usual cramping (AF type cramps)

 

[justwaiting]

Patiently - My tww was just like all the others, sore boobs the lot. Until the day before I got my bfp. I was a little nasuea's and light headed at 13dpo. I put it down to spending most of the weekend on a boat and I know it's bad but having a ciggy or two (I am a social smoker but have not even felt like one since my bfp). WHere are you at in your cycle hun?

Lexi sorry about af. You will get your miracle hun. I know it's hard but try not to lose faith.

RM, gender scans already gosh you and lady are flying along. I'll hope for a girl for you. Hope your feeling ok hun. Have you got a bump yet?


afm - I'm off the progesterone for good now. SO excited but will now have to come up with an excuse to not dtd. really can't be assed these days, poor dh lol!

Thinking of you all

 

[patiently]

I really think im out then i dont even have a slight twinge in my bbs which i have had when previously pregnant so not feeling too hopeful...roll on february...argh this journey is so long!

JW glad your of progesterone now...do you have a little baby bump? im sure your oh will understand when you say your not in the mood just show him you love him in other ways x

 

[NewToAllThis]

Florida Girl - big congrats, twins, thats amazing. I must admit to feeling a but sad (for me) when I saw that it was twins. But sooo pleased for you

RM - are you finding out the sex at your next scan?

JW - Yay for being off the progesterone. Hope everything continues smoothly for you. When is your next scan?

Patiently - Hope you aren't out hun. Fx'd for you

Lady - Wow, you're trucking along now aren't you. I'm impressed that you haven't phoned to ask the sex, the suspense would have been killing me, lol. Yay for finding out next week.

to everyone else. I'm crampy today so hoping AF will arrive this month (although I did have cramps last month and nada )
Its DH's birthday today so working til 2pm and then out for a late lunch.

Have a good day everyone

 

[RaspberryMini]

Patiently - I wouldn't count yourself out yet, all the times I got a BFP I was sure I was out, I always seemed to have more symptoms when I got a BFN!

JW - I'm feeling much better now, hope your are doing ok. Don't worry about not DTD, I think me and DH have only done it about 3 times since our BFP, I'm still nervous about it, there's more to life than sex! I don't really have much bump, just mostly look (to me) fat! But my belly is getting harder, and my clothes getting tighter!

New - yes, if baby is co-operating then I'll definitely be finding out the sex, if it's not then I'll have a private gender scan after. I have nursery plans that are gender specific!

and to all

 

[justwaiting]

My next scan is on wednesday the 25th at exactly 12wks. I'm so excited for it, we should get to see baby move and hear the hb finally. I have seen it many time now I just want to hear that little gallop!
I wont be finding out the sex we want a surprise.

awww hun, I'm so sorry I didn't wanna make anyone feel sad If it's any consolation, I'm so scared out of my mind to have two at once.. idk how I'm ganna do it. I feel terrible cause we've tried so long and lost two babies and all I can think about is how scared I am that there are two.

 

[Tweak0605]

Florida - CONGRATS on the twins!! How exciting!!

Beach - Hope you're doing okay.

RM - How exciting you get to find out soon!

Lexi - Sorry AF got you Hope the soy works for you!

Lady - You get to find out soon too! How exciting! I wouldn't be able to stop myself from calling either. Is there any intuitions on what you think you're having?

JW - Yay for being off progesterone!!

Patiently - Don't give up hope yet, think positive!!

NTAT - Hope AF comes soon so you can get back on the TTC wagon

:wave: and to everyone else!

AFM - Just waiting to O. Starting to have some cramps today in my left ovary, so hoping it's gonna come soon. Even if I don't catch my surge, hopefully my temps will show O. We've been good on the every other day BDing so even if I don't catch the surge, we'll have done enough to hopefully get pregnant. That's about it really!
