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

[patiently]

Lady im so happy for you!!! congrats you will be a mummy to a baby girl! team pink yeayyyy!!!

NSN glad you had a good scan on monday and dont worry the 3rd will be here before you know it...hope all goes well and you feel just as good as ladyfog on the 3rd...

Lexi did you get to bd eventually? is your OH feeling any better

AFM its my little sisters scan tomorrow and i said i would go with her but ive had to ask my mum to go instead as i cant face it...i have never seen my baby in a scan so i wanted to keep that special moment for when we have our little one...it might sound selfish but for now i have got to think about whats best for me...i have picked up my third round of clomid today so will start tomorrow...hopefully it will be my last and bfp clomid cycle...

 

[NewToAllThis]

Lady - this is totally and utterly the best news I've heard in ages. So so so pleased for you. And a baby girl too

Patiently - sorry AF got you and sorry about your sister and you not being up to going to the scan. This is totally understandable and I'm sure she will realise this.

Sorry, no time to catch up with all - just my update

Had Doctors apppointment this morning and she agrees that its not right to wait this long for AF (16 weeks on Thursday) so she's sending me for an ultrasound to check my uterus and ovaries. I should get that appointment through in the next couple of weeks.

She will also refer me to fertility clinic if not pregnant by August/September. I go back to her for bloods then and she will refer me at beginning of Oct which will be a year since m/c. Can't refer me before then. NHS rules!

Its a step forward - just hope the u/s does not reveal anything sinister. She mentioned cysts on ovaries and fibroids too, although she said that the fibroids probably would have been spotted by now given that I have had several u/s whilst pregnant.

In other news, I got a 'nearly positive' opk this morning. Very strange as it was only a couple of weeks ago that I got the last 'nearly positive' one. Just shows that everything is out of whack at the moment.
Now got to entice DH into bed - that's the hard bit.

Wish me luck

 

[Tweak0605]

ayc - good luck!!!

patiently - sorry to hear AF came hope this higher dose of Clomid will work for you! I took 50 mg from CD5-9 and O'd on CD20. My chart link is in my signature. Shows a clear shift upwards, and is basically mimicking my Sept. chart. Although I didn't get pregnant then, I'm hoping it will change just a tad this time.

Lady - I'm so so so glad to hear the scan went well!! A little girl, how precious!! I'm always so positive at the beginning of the TWW, and then it slowly fades towards the end. Hoping it will stay up!

NTAT - I'm so glad they are doing some more work on you, to see where AF is. It's definitely not right for it to take so long. Hope it comes back with a quick fix. And I'm glad they'll send you to a FS too, if you're not pregnant by the middle of the year. All the luck to you!

AFM - I'm just keeping with the TWW. 4 DPO and was really crampy yesterday at 3 DPO but they seem to have disappeared today. Left nipple has been very weird, like sensitive and pain at times. I know it's way too early to feel anything, but I've never had that before. Hope it's a good sign, but don't want to work myself up again.

 

[justwaiting]

lady I am so so very happy everthing looks fine and your having a little girl. Thats just amazing and hopefully smooth sailing. They just might have been the taps of little feet after all!!!

Patiently sorry af came.Hopefully a higher dose of clomid will work and it's abfp for you ina few short weeks.
tweak good luck this tww, I hope it flies by for you. fingers crossed
NTAL I'm glad they are looking into things for you, hopefully nothing sinister and easy fixed get you back on the road to being a mummy. Looks like you have a plan for the next few months which is reassuring. Good luck bding!

afm - 12 weeks today!!!! I'm scared shitless of my scan which is in just under 2 hours. My progesterone did a little dip yesterday from 75 last week to 48 this week, still within normal limits but confusing and scary. I just want to see a little wiggling bean. I know u all understand the anxiety I'm feeling. All I get from everyone out here is, it'll be fine.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

AFM, had some pain the other day so not sure if my first AF after MC is on the way. Hope its not too painful as i know they sometimes can be after MC. No tissue results back yet, I hope to hear something soon!!!

Good luck to everyone on that is in TWW!!

 

[ayclobes]

i think i just got a faint + test..my blue dye one shows a faint +, and my frer is so faint, so i inverted it on picnik and there is a light line..im not saying anything until its a straight up positive though!

 

[marieh2008]

hi ladies i have a lovely cold but we did the deed last night and its my fertile week so i just wondered can i take anything i doubt very much that this will do it for me because once in a month and timing it etc havent done any of that. But we hadnt tried in a few years we did before for 2 years and we got pregnant but obviously that didnt end well. we hadnt done it in a couple of years for his health reasons but last night he superised me and i havent fell so much in love for a longtime. but i feel awlful coughing all the time so i doubt we have a chance. please help your advice is welcome.

 

[marieh2008]

Just got back from the hospital and everything's perfect!!!!

I am so so so relieved and Patiently, I do have that ear to ear smile . We also found out that we're having a little girl which is just amazing. We had kind of geared ourselves up for a boy but I don't care at all. I think DH is still getting his head round it!!!

We didn't get a photo this time but have the anomaly scan in 3 weeks time so I'll get one then. They checked her all over and we got to see her feet with little toes and hands with tiny fingers. They checked the flow of blood through her heart and everything looked great! The nuchal translucency has all gone and the consultant said that there's no reason to think that the 20 week scan will show up any problems. We're almost back to a normal pregnancy!

I am still in shock, I feel like my share of good luck has finally arrived.

Great news so pleased for you. x

 

[patiently]

ayclobes yeaaaaaaa!!! im so excited for you are you testing tomorrow morning a line is a line is a line at the end of the day...really hope this is your bfp!!! FXed though im feeling pretty darn confident!

JW so sorry you are feeling anxious its totally understandable but hopefully everything is fine and all will be well...how did your scan go?

Beach i hope its not too painful for you and you are ok...

Tweak i hope your experiencing a few of your bfp symptoms keep us posted on your progress when will you be testing? GL!!!

NTAT GL hope you get down to bd lots!!! entice away!!!

AFM was meant to drop my younger sister off for her scan today but something about this whole arrangement isnt adding up...she keeps saying shes been to the drs but by now she wouldve had some documentation or be referred to a midwife by now or have a scan date...she doesnt know how many weeks she should be either which is really weird as she told me her dr gave her an estimate...but the weeks have gone on and she still says shes 6-8 weeks how is that possible...also today she was meant to have a scan but didnt go and instead went to her gp's for folic acid...and said actually they changed the date this morning...how is that possible..also the hospital would refer her for a scan not the gp surgery...i know because we are at the sma eone and im going by what they done for me...sometimes i think shes pregnant but being irresponsible and not going to check ups etc and other times i feel that shes lying and that shes not pregnant at all...its really starting to confuse me and she is in general a compulsive liar..i feel bad thinking that she isnt pregnant if she is but i cant shake the feeling! and all she does is complain its driving me crazy she complains about everything and i just wish i could be in a position to have pregnancy symptoms...argh whatever! sorry ladies just feeling a little irrate!

 

[lexi374]

Lady im so happy for you that everything looks great, a baby girl yay!! and 'baby rapey'....

Patiently i hope your sister understood about the scan, i totally see your reason for not going, fx for you the higher dose of clomid works

Tweak good luck hun, not long til test day

JW how was your scan? Happy 12 weeks

NTAT im glad the docs are finally sorting you out, hopefully you will be back on track soon

Nsn not long til scan day! I think everything is gonna be great this time

Ayc congrats hun

Beach, florida, pink, marie, AJ, August, Hope all is well x

AFM ... had a bit of a melt down last night. When we went for testing last year, i asked DH to ask his doc for SA test as the hospital never mentioned this and i wanted to cover all areas. His gp didnt think he would need 1 as i had been pregnant 3 times but she agreed. He also has 3 teenagers.

He had the SA beginning of January, and tests were back within a week, i picked them up from the doc we got home and tried to make sense of them. So from what we could see all was ok.... sperm count needed to be above 20 million his was 94 mil, motility needed to be more than 50%, his was 63%.
So far so good. Couldnt see anything about morphology. Anyway was putting it away mon night and i had another look, on the next page i see 'normal forms' 2% !!!!

From what i can make out, that means only 2% of them are normal! I wanted to When DH got in i asked him to phone his doc and ask them to phone back and go through the results, still waiting for the doc to call!

He spent the 2 weeks of xmas drinking everyday, so i should be shocked it was as good as it was. I thought we had a problem with me and the nk cells i never really thought there would be a problem with him, i dont suppose he did either! I spent all day tues stewing on it, and getting more upset and frustrated, just feels like we have got even more against us now!

When i saw DH in the eve i said id bought him wellman vits and he was taking them! He just gave me a look and i lost it! Told him it takes 2 and i feel like im doing this own my own i just want him to co-operate, id asked him before to cut done on his coffee. He said he didnt realise that was the reason why he just hears me nagging him, i said for goodness sake you are not stupid why else would i be saying it! And dont moan when you are told you need to put out just get on with it! Im really bad at bottling things up and then exploding!

Anyway i was sobbing and then we made up, he said we are both on the same page etc and he will do what it takes to have a baby, he will take the vits, cut down coffee and alcohol- He hasnt actually drank this year, and we are gonna have sex twice a day this week! I told him once a day was plenty, they need time to refresh, and that i wasnt asking him to cut anything out, just moderation.

So we still need to hear what the doc says, i want to know if this makes it harder to conceive and also if this could have been a contributing factor to the miscarriages. Ive read conflicting info, some say abnormal sperm would not be able to penetrate the egg, while others say it would create a weakened embryo, resulting in birth defects or miscarriage.

So sorry to write an essay, thanks for reading if you got to the end
Just needed to offload, as i havent had any1 else to tell x

 

[lexi374]

Patiently you sound frustrated too, is there anyway you could find out for sure? x

[Ladyfog]

Lexi I am just the same as you, I stew and bottle things up and then explode at DH. I'm glad you got things out in the open and hopefully DH now understands how important it is to increase the health of his sperm. I know my DH was convinced that it wasn't his side of things that had caused the MCs, but I'm not sure. I hope the Dr can answer your questions, hopefully give you some reassurance and give you some ideas about how to improve things. That's the great thing about perm, they regenerate all the time so there's every chance with a bit of TLC you'll be back on track again soon.

AYC - a line is a line! I hope it's stronger next time you test!

Beach - good to hear from you I hope your test results come back soon. Is AF arrives are you going to start trying again? How do you feel about TTC at the moment?

Marieh, I really wouldn't worry about taking anything at this early stage. Even if you are pregnant it's not going to have much impact if you haven't implanted yet. If you're worried, you can definitely take paracetamol, but if I were you I'd just take a cold and flu remedy. Hope you feel better soon!

Patiently - it does seem odd but giving her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she's just being carefree as she doesn't appreciate being pregnant like you would? She wouldn't have her booking appt where you get documentation until at least 8 weeks so that would explain that - she would have a letter from the hospital though. I would expect she'd be referred to the EPAU if she needs a dating scan to see how old the baby is, but that is done at the hospital and they don't tend to change appts at short notice in my experience! I was referred by my DR for an early scan so that's possible. If she is lying, the truth will out soon so I'd just wait and see. I hope she's not as it would be a cruel lie to tell .

JW - How did the scan go? I have been thinking about you today - I hope it went well.

AFM, I feel like such a lucky girl. I didn't sleep well last night as my brain was spinning. I keep thinking about the night after I found out about my second MMC about how different it is this time round. Its a nice change to be too happy to sleep instead of too sad.

 

[patiently]

Lady im so happy for you its funny you never know where life will take you and after so much sadness you have come out on the other side...so thrilled for you!! i think im just going to believe she is expecting i cant imagine her lying about such a big thing...but its gets to me that its all everyone talks about now...earlier they were discussing how much of a blessing it is to have a baby and tbh i know its a blessing but makes me feel like a failure when i havent been able to sustain a pregnancy yet...aww well!

Lexi I am so sorry you have been down hun....i think its good you told your OH how you are feeling because I dont think they understand the pressure we are under 24/7 we live eat and breathe baby and they just have to bd when needed and eat right is that so much to ask??? well i hope now you have told him how you feel he can try harder and its so amazing that he volunteered to try twice a day lol...so sweet bless him...sometimes they need a firm speaking to to get the message and i hope in your case its done the trick...hope this week you get lots of bd in and sending baby dust your way hun hope its bfp time for you x

 

[patiently]

also ladies have any of you used Robitussin? i was considering taking it as i hardly have any cm during my fertile time on clomid i will also be using conceive plus but just wanted to try whatever i can...any info would be great thanks x

 

[Tweak0605]

JW - Happy 12 weeks! Hope you're scan went well!

Beach - Hope you're doing well, and that AF isn't too painful for you if it comes.

ayc - Congrats! That's awesome! Sticky baby vibes for ya!

mariah - I'm not sure what you can take. I got sick when I was pregnant last January, but don't remember what they said I could take. Not like it mattered though, really I hope you feel better!

Patiently - I'm sorry about your sister I hope, if she is truly pregnant, that she gets to the doctor and not brushes it off. And if she's lying, then that's plain horrible.

Lexi - I'm so sorry I tend to bottle things up too. I hope you can get things figured out soon!

Lady - I'm so happy to hear you so happy!!


AFM - I'm just going through the TWW. Seems like it's taking forever, but at the same time, so fast. I can't believe my progesterone tests are the day after tomorrow!! Still having sensitive nipples, and now excessive CM, and cramping off and on. That's about it!

 

[lexi374]

Patiently robitussin will thin what you already have but will not increase cm, so may not be that useful to you. You should be ok with the conceive plus, have you tried grapefruit juice? Alot of people swear by it, google grapefruit juice increase cm and see what you think. It needs to be pure not squash etc. I tried it a couple of times 1st month just a couple of days before ov, i think it does work. 2nd month i drank it all month but had my latest ov ever that month! cd22! So dunno if it delayed it? I didnt read of any1 else having tht problem tho, but i didnt try it again. I drank tesco ruby grapefruit juice. Have a read up and see what you think

Hi to every1 else will post more later x

 

[patiently]

Thank Lexi i will try that then...thanks a bundle i did have a few glasses of grapefruit juice last month but for about 2 days...lol...so wouldnt see much difference with that i dont think...but thanks again i will try...x
