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

[jayeriches]

Patiently so sorry for what you are going through...I do know a few people that have conceived and had healthy babies with one tube. Don't give up.

 

[jayeriches]

I just came back from my appt with the new Dr. He finally got all the test and autopsy results together. It was so depressing...the losses so far are unrelated. If I get pregnant again...it will be a hard pregnancy...the goal would be for me to make it to 28 weeks...as it's unlikely for me to make it full term. I need to start taking baby asprin and prenatals now. If I make it to 16 weeks I would have to be on lovenox and progesterone. This would address the things that happened with the 2nd loss. With the first it looks like my baby had some genetic abnormalities so it's a good thing he didn't make it because his life would probably have been hell if he lived. They can't figure out what type of abnormality he had, because the cells they took didn't grow. They still have some of his tissue samples so they can send those off to examine the DNA and see if they can figure it what he had that way. He said I can start trying if I want to but I feel like such shit. How can I try again when there is a possibility that the next baby could have some random abnormality that could cause another loss or for the baby to have a difficult (and possibly short) life? He suggested doing IVF but we don't even know what it is we are looking for so how could they check for the abnormality before transferring the embryo? Ugh...why does it have to be so hard???

Patiently im so so sorry hun, you have been through such a shit time, but this really sucks! However dont lose hope as the others have said it is totally possible to get pregnant with 1 tube. I wonder would the nhs offer you any sort of assistance now? x

Emme looking good i hope you get your bfp tom! x

Jay just because 1 baby had some abnormalities it doesnt mean every baby would. Shouldnt lovenox start from bfp?? x

Afm....well temp went up just a tiny bit this morning, nothing major. I ummed and ahhed over doing a test, anyway long story short i got my bfp.

Anyway you think id be happy but i was sucking up the tears on the way to work, im just so stressed about this whole thing! Plus i have no symptoms except cramping! No sore boobs at all! And im sure im destined for another c/p, mc!

Ive started steroids, went to doc to get more progesterone and now shes told me shes referring me to professor quenby in coventry to be under her care as my local hospitals wont take me on under her protocol! So ill have to drive 70 miles for a scan when i have a hospital on my doorstep!

I asked if i could have bloods done after the last chemical and she said no! Needs to be asked for by consultants not gps, what a load of bullshit! I need to know things are going the right way or i have to stop meds. So looks like ill be doing a few tests over the next couple of weeks and hoping the lines get darker!

and to all xxx

 

[lexi374]

Welcome little j sorry for your losses x

Thurl congrats on weight loss, and heres hoping af makes her entrance soon x

 

[patiently]

Lexi congrats i am so psychic arent i!!! I knew this would be your month hun. Try not to stress all will be ok. One day at a time ok. Good luck amd sending lots of sticky vibes your way
Thank you everyone for your comments. x

 

[Sooperhans]

Wow, so much going on everywhere! Little J, so sorry you are going through a loss and please look after yourself. I hope your blood tests reveal something you can do differently next time x

Patiently, Jeez I'm so so sorry you are going through this and I hope you recover very quickly. Can you get help from the NHS to conceive next time?

Jaye, I hope all the meds help you next time. Wouldn't the progesterone start before or just after a bfp?

Lexi.....rahhhhhh hhhhhooooooorrrrrrrrraaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Well done and so pleased for you! That is amazing news but shit you have to travel so far, and you should have a blood test Hope the news sinks in and you can relax sweetie, so happy for you xxx

No Beach, didn't get hcg tested. AF in full swing, Boooo x

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi Congrats!!! there's no reason why this pregnancy should not work out, I know it's hard after a mc, why does the innocence have to be taken away from us?! I am praying for you, sending lots of positive thoughts. I hope I get a BFP too, but am not too positive, yet I am asking you to stay positive

AFM... I went and purchased some progesterone cream on my lunch break and am going to call my progesterone supplements in tonight, I didn't take it yesterday because I ran out. I went to restroom an hour ago and when I wiped I saw cm and a tiny dot of blood, not bright red, sorta like burgundy brown. Went again awhile ago and nothing just some cm. I do feel cramping though, so I go to the restroom expecting to see AF we'll see tomorrow morning if the does not arrive later today... I am still perplexed over FF, I am not positive I did surge when I got the positives or if it was negative because the lines were definately not as dark as the control lines...

 

[lexi374]

Thanks ladies i appreciate it.

Patiently you are my little mystic meg!

Emme just looked at your chart, i think its possible you ovd on cd 17? FX for a bfp tom!

Soop thanks hun i will travel as much as it takes for a healthy baby, it does seem ridiculous though, my gp just wants rid of me! FX for you this month.

 

[notoptimistic]

Started spotting today how did I get preg naturally twice each time on the first cycle trying and now it has been over a year and I can't?

 

[Nicki123]

Congrats Lexi!! That's such fab news. As patiently said, all you can do is take it a day at a time. I would say 'try to relax' but know how tough that is!

Patiently and Jaye, sorry to hear what you've been going through. Sending you positive vibes and

 

[Emmediva]

Jayriches, I am so sorry I am not understanding what they told you about lovenox? My ob/gyn ran some blood work for me last Friday, she told me if the tests determined I needed it I would have to take it as soon as I got a BFP?
Thanks Lexi, send me lots of baby
Notoptimistic, I've heard sometimes the body gets used to the amount of Clomid and needs to have a higher dosage, what is the dosage you are taking?

 

[notoptimistic]

Emme, I was on 50mg a couple cycles ago (for just one cycle while I was waiting for my first appointment with the RE) then no meds last cycle while all the testing was going on.tThos cycle I was on 100mg and had my first iui.

 

[BeachChica]

Emme - FX that you just had a little implantation bleeding. Your temps look good!

Jay I agree with the others. ! chromosomal problem does not mean you will have others. They should be able to give you some answers from the tissue. Also there is IVF w/ PGD which is what they have recommended for me due to my losses. They would fertilize and then test the embryos for chromosomal problems before they are implanted. It's quite expensive though, but a good option for some peace of mind!

Lexi - Whoa... a BFP!!! I know how you feel after the losses, it's hard not to stress but enjoy, one of these HAS to stick for us!!! Think POSITIVE thoughts!!! I've heard a lot of people talk about that Prof. How is your sickness doing my the way? I had a crap night of sleep last night with all the coughing!

Sooper - so aorry about AF but glad you are on to the next cycle. Yeah for the temping!!!

Noto op- do you temp? That might help pinpoint O for you. DH and I were "shooting in the dark" for our first year. I never realized you had such a short "window of opportunity". Now after charting we usually get pregnant on our 2nd cycle of trying.


So I have I have a funny story for you girls....
so I just got home from work, checked the mail and porch like I always do and whoa!!!!.... what do I find... a PACKAGE!!!!
It's my this weekend birthday, so it seems fitting that I would receive a box at my door right!!!??? It was well packaged and said "perishable" on the side, so I thought what is this... maybe someone sent me a dessert for my birthday!!! Well I open it up (super excited still about the arrival of it) only to find that its a box if vaginal inserts (progesterone) in a huge box packed with ice packs and bubble wrap. WTF That's no birthday present!!! On top of that they sent me a $60 bill to go along with it!!! Trying to get this sorted now with my insurance! UGh!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Beach and yes, yay for temping! Although as much as it informs, it does also confuse me! Easily done Now I have a month of it under my belt, it's onwards and upwards, bfp I'm coming to get you in May....

Ah lovely that it's nearly your birthday! That is funny, expecting something nice and tasty and getting suppositories instead! Not quite so appetising...I hope you get lots of decent surprises and gifts still. When's your actual birthday? And then holiday - lots to look forward to!

I'm expecting the pre-seed to arrive at work next week. No point in getting it sent home as I'm not there. I do imagine a scenario where a colleague asks if it's something nice, as everyone often does with deliveries. Wonder what their faces would be like if I come out with "oh the usual, just some sperm friendly lube"....hehe!!

Xx

 

[wookie130]

Lexi...CONGRATS!!! Praying this is your sticky bean!

Patiently, I'm finally getting caught up around here, and I wanted to tell you how sorry I am you're going through this nightmare. You can definitely get pregnant with one tube, dear. The only direction your journey can take from here on out is up, you know? Sending you tons of prayers, girl.

 

[Lukas]

Hi ladies, I have been away for a while have some news got mine and dh tests back and everything is normal so we thought we would try again last month and I am now 1 week wait I have tested and it has come back POS I couldn't believe I am happy and nervous at the same time.. I am seeing my OB in 2 weeks I really hope this one stick.. Just want to share with you ladies... Hope you are well and sending you all baby dust xx

 

[BeachChica]

Sooper- my actual birthday is Sunday. It's the big 39 for me I told DH this is my last year of my 30's (boooohoooo) good luck to you this month! Hopefully May will be a great month for the rest of us!!!!

Lukas- congrats! FX for you

 

[wookie130]

Congrats Lukas!

 

[Emmediva]

Congratulations Lukas!!
Beachchica, happy early Bday! Hopefully you get a lil bean for a gift
AFM, I am so confused my temp was super high this morning, I was feeling positive, then I went to the restroom to pee, when I wiped my spotting had got worse I am now at work wearing a pad and have light flow & light cramping. I am out this month, goodbye to a 2012 baby... I know the odds were against me getting pregnant this month since I had a Chemical last month but still and the high temp just baffles me. I took a progesterone supplement last night, but even before on progesterone my temp dove right on cue for AF... I hope my doc has the results from my blood test back soon.

 

[Sooperhans]

That's great Lukas...2 bfps in a week here, a good week for this thread! Hoping the trend continues. I hope your check up shows everything as it should be

Ah, that's exciting Beach! You are one day after one of my sisters, and also the Queen! I love birthdays and hope your dh, family and friends make a big fuss of you!
