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

[patiently]

I dont really have major symptoms so still feeling quite scared. And been cramping here and there. Especially after i use the bathroom sorry tmi! Im trying to relax as much as possible but its hard. I guess i can only be thankful for each day that I am blessed to be pregnant. Thanks ladies for your support x

I don't know what I could've said, lol. I'll try again....

Hi Lexi, yep life is a b*tch sometimes, you poor thing, especially when you consider all the ages of your little angels. I'd have had a lovely little bump by now - went to a comedy show a few weeks ago, lady next to me was pregnant, starting telling me about it and volunteering info - including her DD, which was to the day the date of my first angel. Thought that the world was taking the piss! We will so appreciate our lasting pregnancies when they come

Hi to sosad and nsn, and thanks Lexi and Beach about temping. Guess what I've been reading up on! Ok so I've had a look at charts and thermometers, is there a recommended cost-effective brand that I should use? Saw a Babymed one and wondering whether to go ahead and get.

Beach that's good you feel ready to ttc soon, lots of luck to you

Lexi, I was expecting AF a little while ago, under normal circumstances, my cycle is 28 days but I know mc can affect it all and since I didn't have an in-between bleed, I haven't had a AF since October! It's been 37 days from when the heavy mc bleed started but 41 days from when spotting originally started. Hmmm wondering whether to give the doc a call maybe this week, as I'm cramping but nothing else? Had quite a lot of cm about 2 weeks ago.

Argh Patiently, that's AMAZING!!!! So pleased you got your bfp, and try not to fret about it, take it easy as much as you can. Are you able to get an early scan at your local epu? If you are cramping they should be taking blood, can you ask again maybe when you go on Thurs? I have everything x'd for you xxxx

 

[lexi374]

So sad you are very welcome here

Soop oooohhhh what did you say lol!!

Patiently big hugs hun, deep breath!

Beach yep 3dpo seems the norm, she just said if you take it straight after ov you could have ectopic! Im only being given 7 days at a time by my gp so thats a bit crap!

Nsn you are never insensitive to others, and we love hearing from you!

Afm cd12 blah im ok, bd sun and today, then will do thur-sun everyday hopefully! Dh has been given his agenda!

 

[lexi374]

Soop posted at the same time lol, nothing offensive there!!

Ok forgive me for the stupid ? but your not pregnant again are you?

Apart from that then i guess 37 since heavy bleed is not that long maybe give it a little longer then go back to gp and see if they can check everything is as it should be.

You will need a basal thermometre, i got mine from boots but im sure theres plenty online etc. Then register with fertility friend.com and you can put it all on a chart there and it will help tell you when you ov etc.

Good luck.

 

[BeachChica]

Patiently - I know its hard but don't worry about the symptoms. Its still so early!!

Lexi - I didn't know about the ectopic. Yikes!! More the reason to know exactly when you've O'd

Sooper - BBT's can range from very inexpensive to expensive. I picked up a fairly inexpensive one at my drug store. It was about $10 US. Also, you can go into Fertility Friend and use their program for electronic tracking for free. Its great because they also have an app that you can also use on your smart phone. I think they will give you 1 free month of the VIP level but even the standard level is fine for this purpose too. If you really like the VIP features they often have specials to upgrade. I used the standard for a long time and just recently upgraded to the VIP for $29 for the year. If you have any questions feel free to ask and the girls love to look at the charts if you add a link to your sigi and can help with analysis!

 

[BeachChica]

Oh, so forgot to mention. Finally got AF today!!!
Its crazy to be celebrating this isn't it!!!??? So having my Day 3 blood test on Thursday!

 

[lexi374]

Yay beach

Hi ladies,*
Just came across this thread and would really like to join if thats ok. Had a chemical pregnancy yesterday and had a loss at 5 weeks in December. Being ttc since aug.*
Feeling pretty sorry for myself and glad to see that many on this thread are quite far along in their pregnancies after multiple losses.*
I am so sorry for all your losses.*
Brief history, regular 28 day cycle but spot a week before period and think this impacts on implantation. This month was prescribed progesterone for the first time. Delighted to get bfp on Saturday and Sunday but test was negative Monday .
Have now stopped progesterone (cyclogest). Does anyone know *how long I wil likely wait for period?*
Wishing you all lots and lots of very sticky baby dust.

[lexi374]

Hi dreamin and welcome, i was exactly the same a couple of weeks ago positive tests on the wednesday, positive digi sat, then tested the following wednesday and it was negative. This was the first time id used cyclogest too. The last pessary i did was the wed am and bleeding started fri am. So just a couple of days. Sorry for your losses also.

 

[dreaminghopin]

Hi thanks for replying.
So sorry for your losses. Are you going to take cyclogest again this month? Not sure if my doc is convinced by it. I got if for pre period spotting. My progesterone at day 21 was 34. Fingers crossed AF comes soon.*

 

[lexi374]

Yes going to take it again this month. My gp doent believe in it either, i have got it only for 7 days, so supposed to start 7dpo and then test at 14 dpo if bfn stop. But think i might start at 5 dpo. I dont spot before period, but my luteal phase is only 10/11 days. Fx you are not waiting too long, will you try again straight away?

 

[Neversaynever]

Dreaming....welcome and sorry you've found yourself here I would say your 21 day numbers are more than enough...it's normally 15+ after ovulation. Progesterone isn't always the wonder drug and many docs in the UK don't believe it helps. I believe if your body isn't producing enough...the cylogest won't do any harm to help...if the pregnancy isn't viable...that will become apparent soon enough too.

Hope that hasn't come across as too harsh

Temping is a good thing to do ladies that don't do it...plenty of help in here so ask away if you're interested

Beach...come hither witch...and glad to see you can move on and get day 3 tests done

Lady...hope you're not burned to a crisp

Lexi...thanks for saying that...I do try to be sensitive still

Stoooopid double post

[Ladyfog]

Just popped in quickly but didn't want to read and run after reading your news patiently!!! A cautious but big congratulations to you! Lexi is right, cramping is perfectly normal at this stage (in fact it's normal all the way through - I still get a bit crampy now) and I had very few symptoms this early with any of my pregnancies, this one included. Just think of all the people who get pregnant by accident who don't even realise for a few weeks. NSN is right, just take each day at a time

Lexi, hope you are OK hun, it's so tough when others get to have the 'big reveal' and you want that moment so badly. It will be you one day soon .

NSN, so glad all is going well, I've been stalking your journal, but not had time to post for a week or so. We all love sharing in your good news and you're never insensitive

Beach - yay for AF!!

Welcome sosad You cound like you fit in perfectly - we all have to go through the limbo of recovery after an MC, it doesn't mean that we are not TTC in our hearts. What are the blood tests checking?

Welcome Dreaminghopin, and sorry for your losses

AFM, had a bit of spotting today which scared the bejeezus out of me, but think it's just because me and DH have been up to more BDing than usual . Typically the little lady was having a lazy morning so had to wait a while to feel her kick and calm me down a bit. She's wriggling away in there at the moment though, which is a big relief.

Lexi, we've got a few names on the list, but all top secret for now! We've started to call her Myrtle for now but I don't think that's going to stick once she's born!

 

[Neversaynever]

Lady...argh for the scare...stop shagging seriously though I had the same on valentines day..told him he was on a ban as it freaked me out for three days and the doppler was used far more than normal

XxX

 

[Ladyfog]

I know!! - it's DH's holiday treat though It helps now I can feel her, as I know she's in there OK.

 

[NewToAllThis]

Lady...argh for the scare...stop shagging

As usual NSN, you don't mince your words love it!!

Congrats Patiently - as I posted in your journal, I bloody knew you were preggo when you fainted. Big giveaway. Keeping everything crossed for you hun

to all the newbies - glad to see you're all coming to join us - welcome!

The biggest fattest squishiest hug of all is saved for Lexi today. Thinking of you on your angels EDD. I have been thinking of you today and its my turn tomorrow. We'll get through it hunny

AFM - still no f**ckin AF. Docs next week I think.
As for yesterday.... well....
I received a voicemail on my mobile from a health visitor 'introducing' himself and wanting to arrange an appointment to meet me before the baby is born....

WTF

I took the voicemail in the middle of the office and was visibly shaking after listening to it. I simply cannot believe that this has slipped through...

Its my EDD with my 1st angel tomorrow and I'm 6 weeks away from my EDD with the twins. I REALLY don't need this at the moment

Thanks I'm confused about progesterone levels. I had been advised that anything above 30 was considered good in the uk and my 34 was normal but certainly below average. I think you are right that I should not put all my hopes on it helping me get a sticky bean but I am going to try it again next cycle if doc agrees.
