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

[KatM]

Welcome River.

I am soooo sorry for your heartbreaking loss. It's good that you joined this supportive thread.

Soop,
Good luck with your testing.

Beach,
Wierd saying this, but I hope AF shows for you so you can get your testing done.

AFM,
Just returned from my new Drs and began taking baby aspirin. Came out negtive for the urine PG test, but it's a bit early. He drew blood, so I should know more tomorrow. If I am PG, he will start me on progesterone. He also wants me to chart my cycles. I am soooo happy that I switched Drs. He seems very proactive.

Kat- hope you're pregnant and won't need to chart, but if you do, Fertility Friend is great for tracking! You can use their basic program for free or pay extra for a VIP membership. I had the free one for a long time and just splurged and got the VIP when they were offering a special on FB. Good luck and let us know if you have questions.

 

[River12]

thanks for all your kind words.
it has most certainly been a very hard few months for us but we are getting there.
I have taken all your advice and that of my Dr's and we are waiting for a full cycle before ttc.We have arranged a holiday at the end of this month to just spend some real time together. I think we both just need to take a step back from everything and take some time for ourselves.
Never thought I'd actually say this but I can not wait for AF to arrive.
Wishing you all luck and I will keep in contact for sure throughout this journey.
I truly felt like no one could understand what it feels like and I am grateful for this thread. you have already helped me!

Ladies I'm just popping in because there seems to be a lot of new ladies in here

On my phone so can't do my usual fat responses but want you know I'm reading all the time and hoping for all of you.

Have to say that I am really pleased you are all supporting each other and getting through these shitty times with help because unless you've been through the losses...nobody gets it at all.

Massive to you all, love and everything chucked at you wherever you are in your cycle. I really must post more often but don't want you to think I'm being insensitive

Hi everyone - Beach did AF arrive? Hope the witch cooperates and you get your scheduled day 3 testing! What will the sonogram look for?*

Thank you Lexi, yes I feel better thanks and I'm going to try to go to the Thurs lunch "mother's meeting" and hope I don't get the question about if I'm having babies any time soon. I've already been asked that once and it really took me back! I hope your working week has been ok? Gl with the bd'ing and I hope you catch it this month

I've settled a bit more into the temping thanks, although I still end up waking up beforehand wondering what the reading is going to be! The progesterone is ok I think, feel a bit yucky sometimes but not as bad as I was dreading. Had a couple of weird symptoms that could either be pg or progesterone, dammit they are pretty similar when I read the se! A teeny bit of spotting amongst others but I went so lightheaded today I saw massive stars and I do wonder! I've got 2 FR tests and I'm tempted to give one a go tomorrow, I hate the waiting!*

Kat - I'm pleased you got the ok for the baby aspirin, I also asked mine and she said the benefits outweighed the risks, so I've been on that and pregnacare conception supplements. Have to be a bit careful with supplements as some can affect my thyroid meds I'm on. That side is doing ok ATM, sometimes my neck feels constricted/swollen but not too bad for now.*

And as for the charting, I can give advice from a novice's point of view, having only temped for a month. Beach, Lexi and Patiently have given great FF advice!

River - good on you for getting some time away and for yourselves. Hurry up AF so you can get going again!

NSN - our founder! Lol, please please continue with updates, and Lady too if you are still around the thread if you are about. How are you doing? Thank you for setting this thread up, it's been great to vent and also for experienced advice xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

Ps I don't know where the * come from when I post...they aren't subliminal messages, please ignore

 

[lexi374]

OOOOO soop i wonder if your spotting and temp dip were implantation?

Will be interesting to see your temp over the next couple of days.... GL

Nsn keep posting!!! Lady, florida, jw i hope all your bubs are well!

Afm Cd 13 feel a bit crampy... have never ovd early since ive been temping so hope im not gonna start now as we have not got enough bd in!!
We got caught early last month at cd15 but i thought that maybe due to chemical, am usually around day 18. Didnt get to bd last night as dh came to bed late and was up really early, but he promised we will tonight. Hes trying to catch up on work before we have a week off next week. Why is it my fertile week always seems to come at the busiest times?!

Alot of people seem to be taking baby aspirin.... the doc at the hospital i saw when we went for testing said i could take if i wanted but there was no proof it would help, but then when i saw professor quenby she said not to take it as the latest studies showed it did not help and actually the people on it did worse. She was upset as she said it had blown years of research out the window..... Just thought id mention it, i dont know anymore than that. x

Thanks Hon for all the info!!!
Looks like I won't have to chart.

Please continue to post as it gives me hope that we too will end up with a healthy pregnancy. Thank you for starting this wonderful thread and for sending us all light.

Soop,
I truly hope no one is that insensitive on Thursday. You have true will power holding off on your FR. Try to wait until at least 12DPO. I tested negative on a pee test yesterday even though my blood test was positive.

Yes, I am doing the baby aspirin. The Dr feels it won't hurt, might help.

Lexi,
Thanks for the info. I am still going to take it after 2 losses.


AFM, I am hesitantly happy to announce my HCG is 12 and my progesterone is 11.2 about 10DPO. I go back for another blood draw tomorrow and a progesterone shot.

This is the 3rd time I am pregnant this year, so we won't truly count it until we see a healthy heart beat.

I look at this as Step 1.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Lexi! I know, I keep thinking it's going to be a bfp but getting v impatient as I don't know anything still! Despite your busy time I hope you get the bd'ing in, even if quickies! I'll see how I go on the aspirin but I do hope it doesn't do any harm...

Thank you Kat, I hope not either! Hopefully it'll just be the usual chatter. The last person asked me in the kitchen at work, it was her last week in the office. I was too shocked to know what to say, so I ended up blurting out that actually I've had 2 mcs...don't think she'll be casually asking anyone else the same question in a hurry!

That is fantastic news Kat and I know you are hesitant but I hope this is your baby for keeps. Really pleased for you xxx

Lexi - you say your ov timing isn't coinciding with your time off, I know what you mean - my timing for testing/progesterone isn't great - the doc said she'll prescribe more if I get a bfp, with the bank hol coming up and only enough to last Tues, I'm fretting already because I don't want to lose any days! Flipping bank hols, lol. I'm going to put in a request anyway and hope she signs it off FX'D!! Xxx

 

[lexi374]

Congratulations Kat i hope this 1 is sticky!!

Soop it will only be quickies! No time for romance this week lol!

I hate it when people ask that question too i never know what to say and mumble we'll see or something like that! Will keep my fx for you.

 

[KatM]

Thanks Lexi!

For quickes, I slip on a nightie. It helps speed up the process and adds a tiny touch of effort.

 

[Sooperhans]

Kat, I do the same! Dh loves the short satin ones, lol. Hope you are putting your feet up after your great bfp news?

 

[wookie130]

Kat, I'm sending you a ton of prayers and sticky dust for your new little bean!!!!

C'mon, and STICK this time!!!!!!!!!

[BeachChica]

[KatM]

Kat!!! OMGosh what great news!!! congratulations

Thanks Hon. I am staying level headed about it. Until I actually see a tiny baby with a strong heartbeat, I'm not celebrating.

 

[wookie130]

I don't blame you a bit for containing your excitement...I'm sure I'll be the same way this next go-around, Kat!

We'll be excited for you!

 

[Ladyfog]

Hi all the new members - we've had a bit of a flurry!! Bare with me and I'll try to get to know you all.

Congrat Kat - fingers crossed for you this time.

Good luck to everyone else, where ever you are in your cycles - sending you all lots of

AFM, off work ill today with a stinking cold. It's the first time I've been ill this whole pregnancy. I guess it was bound to happen eventually but I'd do anything for a lemsip right now - having to make do with paracetamol and honey and lemon! Apart from that, everything's going well and I'm starting to think about buying stuff for baby - I'm constantly amazed that I've made it this far!

 

[wookie130]

Awww, if you've made it to week 27, Ladyfog, then your baby girl is more than viable at this point, and is truly your rainbow! I say go hog-wild, and shop, shop, shop!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

[Sooperhans]

Hi Lady! Lovely to hear from you and sorry you are under the weather. Hope you are putting your feet up! Week 27, that's amazing...there really is hope after loss! When you are better, have a fab time buying lots of cute little bits xxx
