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

[BeachChica]

Beach, if you're prescribed the Prometrium progesterone pills rather than supplements, my strong advice to you would be to take them before bed time, unless you want to walk around in a dizzy sleepy fog all day long. I've heard it can make you feel like a complete crack head, and most ladies seem to think it's a lot better if taken before bed...it may help you sleep like a rock, you never know!

Wookie- if I am supposed to take 2 per day can I take them both before bed? Maybe he will let me do 1 suppository in the morning and the tablets at night. I need to ask about that because I will be on them during my trip to Europe.

Sooper- for me, a temperature drop like usually means AF for me but that may not be the case for you. Will your doctor run some blood wok for you this week just to check? It would probably be best to do that before coming off of the progesterone. I think you are ok with your LP length. I think it's considered short if it's under 10 days. Definitely print and take your chart with you when you go to your doctor. Many doctorslike to see them.

Patiently- I think I worked myself up over the test. I had what they call a "vasovagal syncope" after the procedure. Basically my body when into shock and I felt very lightheaded with slight nausea. I have heard that you should not TTC the cycle of the procedure for fear of ectopic but also that many women fall pregnant the month after the procedure because it sort of clears you out in there. Also, like the others said, don't let what others said upset you. I am small too. Just shrug it off!!! My mom always told me that the best things come in little packages!!!

Hi there, sorry to hear about everyones losses

I am 29, and have been TTC a healthy pregnancy since October / November 2011, I have had 2 early pregnancy losses so far, and am currently dealing with a horrible long cycle.

I would really like to join your group

xx

Thanks everyone x Beach thank you I'm going to print my chart and have an appointment with my doc. Although with the blood work won't she just tell me if the hpts are neg then that's it? You don't always get blood tests v easily here. I'm not sure. Not having the best day today, been in floods of tears on and off. I just want it so badly like everyone here and I'm confused by the signals I've been getting, it's like I can't trust my body anymore! My cycle is supposed to be 29 days but it's a bit all over the place. I'll see what the temp is tomorrow...did another one a couple of hours later and it was sky high, but not my first temp of the day so I don't know what to think.

Thurl, welcome hun and sorry for your early losses. At what point were they? How long has your cycle been? Have you had any type of testing and are you temping at all? It's an interesting insight into ovulation. Your timings are similar to mine, we started properly ttc Oct 11 onwards and have had 2 losses at 7w2d and 5ws. Have you ov'd this cycle do you know? Xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh and Patiently - 5ft and slim sounds lovely to me! Do not worry xx I so hope it's your turn soon, along with all the other fab future-mums-to-be on here

Hi Sooperhans, thanks for your message

I'm sorry to hear about your losses, we are really similar by the sounds of it. I started to loose both pregnancies at exactly 5w2d. We didn't BD at all last cycle to ensure my body recovered, that cycle was 34 days. The cycle I am on at the moment is a bit of a nightmare, I am currently on CD47, we have been BD'ing this cycle but I'm definately not pregnant. I think I did ovulate although a lot later than expected, I didn't test with an opk I was just going by the natural signs. I haven't had any tests yet, except a blood test to confirm my last pregnancy. The doc isn't really interested yet, I have to have atleast 1 more pregnancy loss before I can get help, also I am quite overweight so I know what the docs will be thinking.

I haven't temped before, I don't really understand it yet, I have just bought a thermometer though so I probably will start soon, that might help to curb my obsession with P'ingOAS!!

How about you? Have you had any tests or help from your doc?

xx

Beach,
Wow, that is heartbreaking that you saw the heartbeat 3 times and they didn't even get to determine the cause of loss. At least you know the 3rd one wasn't viable, not that it is that much of a concellation.

I heard that orals are not as good as suppositories. That being said, I believe that I am switching to them for my trip as well. I'm not going to bring needles and shoot myself up. I heard that you can deposit certain progesterone pills vaginally or take them orally. Please ask you Dr.

Soop,
I don't chart, but from what I gather it's not a great sign when the temp drops. As always, it's not over till AF arrives.

Patiently,
It sounds like being around family is so stressful. Most people like being petite and slim. It's certainly not a bad thing. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself. It sucks that she has your would have been due date.

Thurl,
Welcome. I'm sorry about the circumstances that bring you here.

Thanks KatM, congratulations to you xx

I have no idea, honey. LOL!!!! Maybe run a search on it in the forums, and on Google!

Welcome Thurl! I'm sorry for your losses as well.

I am on progesterone supplements in the tablet form. When I was on 2x daily, I would take one in the morning and one in the evening before bed. I was worried that it would make me really tired but I found that I was able to function normally since I was up and moving. When I took that second one at bedtime though it would not be long until I was out for the night. Mine were 200 mg. Once I hit nine weeks, he has allowed me to go down to one pill at bedtime.

Hope that helps!

Hi girls! Hope you had a great Easter!


Sooper - Sorry you had a bad day today You can't use the later temp. It has to be your resting temp so the first one in the morning only. I was thinking that your doctor would be able to check for pregnancy through bloodwork. Its more accurate than the HPTs. My doctor insisted on it before allowing me to come off of the progesterone. I will watch your temps over the next couple of days too. Maybe the drop today was just a fluke, we'll see.

Kat - are you going on the oral or suppositories for the trip?

Thurl - welcome and sorry for your losses.

August - thanks for the info on the progesterone. So you did not feel tied during the day on them? Mine are just 100 mg taken 2 times per day.

 

[August79]

Beach, I did feel tired but not so much to say if it was the progesterone or just the pregnancy if you know what I mean?

 

[BeachChica]

Oh got it. I guess it is hard to tell when your pregnant with the exhaustion that come with that.

 

[August79]

Exactly! That was one of my first symptoms and still a persistent one lol

 

[KatM]

Beach,
I think I am going to now ask my Dr to allow me to bring the injections. The girls on my pregnant after RPL site have greatly encouraged me to do so. If the injections are working for me, I will try and stay with that. I will also bring orals just in case something goes wrong with the injections.

Thurl,
Thanks for the congrats. I get pregnant everytime we try... It's keeping it that has been the issue in the past. Praying this one is my sticky.

August,
I am so tired each time I am pregnant too and this is my first time on progesterone. I think fatigue is the most common pregnancy symptom. Thanks for the info about the orals just in case I need to take them.

 

[Neversaynever]

Just dropping in to check on you lovely bunch

Chucking masses of and whatever's...because I was on the whatever wagon after being so gutted everytime

XxX

 

[thurl30]

Hi Kat, I'm sorry to hear that, I have that problem too it's so frustrating. I really hope this is your sticky one xx

Hi Beach, thank you, I'm sorry for your losses too, all I can say is that having a group like this is exactly what I was looking for to help encourage me to keep trying so thank you for welcoming me xx

 

[BeachChica]

Sooper - your temp is back up today!!! That dip yesterday could have been an implantation dip. Don't loose hope, you're still in this girl!!!! I would wait a few more days and then test!!!!

Implantation Dip:
The term implantation dip is often used to refer to a luteal phase dip that occurs around the time of expected implantation (7-10 days past ovulation). While this pattern does not always result in pregnancy, the term is often used because of the timing of the dip and because this pattern appears with greater frequency on pregnancy charts than non-pregnancy charts.
