[BeachChica]

Hi ladies :wave: Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Still battling this stupd cold. The coughing has gotten so bad that I've had to wear a pad. I cough so hard to the point where I'm almost going to throw up and/or pee my pants. Its awful!

 

[wookie130]

Beachchica, pop some vitamin C, or drink a nice tall glass of orange juice! Kick that cold in the arse!!!!!!!!!

Me, I'm on CD 12. DH and I just BD'ed. I'm on "high" on my CBFM, and the afternoon smiley digi OPK's are still yielding negatives, but I still have to take one later today, so we'll see. I'm definitely approaching my fertile window.

Just catching up on everyone's news.

Patiently, I'm so sorry you are still going through such a shit time, it really isn't fair Everyone is right when they say you can still get pregnant with one tube though so please don't give up hope. I have a friend who has just had an ovary removed due to a large fibroid - her ovary hasn't been working for quite a while but her body had already learnt to compensate by ovulating every month from the one. So, just because you have one tube doesn't mean you'll ovulate less frequently. Are your family being any more understanding? Has being in hospital made them realise how serious what you've been through really is?

Lexi - Big congratulations!! I really hope this is your sticky bean - I didn't have many symptoms at the start either - just cramping and pulling in my tummy. The sore boobs didn't turn up for a couple of weeks.

Beach - Happy birthday! Hopefully you're progesterone supositories are are birthday present in disguise - your chance of a baby this year!

Congrats lukus - just take one day at a time

To everyone who dealing with disappointent this month - remember that the first day of AF is also the first day of a new cycle. You will all get there eventually.

Good luck to anyone who is waiting to try and test!

AFM, just ticking along really - everything is going well. Only 8 weeks left a work now, which seems crazy!! Almost as crazy as only 10 and a half weeks to go until my due date!

 

[kmp]

Stupid Pampers commercial!....made me cry. When will I get off this emotional rollercoaster?!

 

[lexi374]

Hi lady and thanks! Good to hear from you! Eeeekkkk you are nearly 30 weeks!!

Still no symptoms, cramping for a few days but that seems to have stopped now, the only thing i have is insomnia! Wide awake at 5am! Oh and i feel really irritable, i dunno if its pregnancy related, steroid related or just being a moody cow!

Took a frer yest and the line was darker going to do another 1 tuesday and hope its darker again.... As mean gp wont do bloods!

Beach i hope you had a nice birthday and you have started to feel better?

Kmp

Patiently how are doing hun?? I hope you are ok

How is everybody else getting on? xxx

 

[lexi374]

Oh and wookie happy x

 

[thurl30]

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing ok xx

Patiently so sorry to hear what you are going through, but it is definately still possible to have a healthy pregnancy, you just have to let your body heal and keep thinking positively xx

Lexi congratulations, such good news How many weeks are you? xx

I finally got AF yesterday woohooooo!!

 

[wookie130]

Oh, the Pampers commercial where they show all of the newborns and the kitchey violin music??? I KNOW, RIGHT??????????? I've been known to sit there with a bag of chips, and box of tissue, sniffling and bawling over that one. You are not alone.

Well, I'm not ovulating...yet. Digi opk's aren't giving me my smiley yet, but I'm getting close, as those lines were definitely darker today, and the monitor is still on high.

 

[BeachChica]

Wookie - are you getting lots of in???? FX for you this month! I will be stalking your chart!!!

Lexi - what's up with your doctor not taking bloods. That's so ridiculous. I hear you about the insomnia. I think it might be nerves. I was so nervous after I got pregnant after losses. My heart would not stop racing. I felt like I had been drinking Red Bull all night.

AFM - Ugh I had a horrible birthday weekend dealing with this cold. Yesterday I had enough and called the doctor. They called in some prescription meds for me so I hope to start getting better soon. I do feel a little better today. This is all really pissing me off as my chart was looking so good early in the month and now with being sick I'm not sure what's going on. I am not even really sure I O'd, my temps are so low. I have never seen anything like it!! Ugh. AF please get here soon, I am ready to move on to my next TTC month!!!

 

[hopestruck]

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join your group? Thanks so much to those of you who started it and have continued on with it. This is exactly the position I'm in right now. I am in the process of experiencing my 3rd miscarriage in 6 months The first was an empty sac discovered at 12 weeks (had a d&e), second was a natural loss at 6 1/2 weeks, and this most recent one was a MMC with baby measuring 7+2 when I was supposed to be 8+4. I never saw a baby in either of my previous 2 pregnancies, so this one has been especially difficult. It breaks my heart that my little one had a beating heart that just stopped.

Anyway, we're going to start some fertility testing soon to see if we can figure out what's happening. We would really like to start our family sooner rather than later, and it has been a devastating past 6 months lost to failed pregnancies. However, we are blessed in that we seem to get pregnant fairly easily, so despite the depressing reality we're dealing with right now, I do feel positive about the future. I'm hoping that my case is one that has an "easy" solution (e.g. progesterone or heparin).

cheers xx

 

[BeachChica]

Welcome Hope and so sorry for your losses.

Are you waiting to MC on your own this time or are they planning another D&C for you? Have any of your losses been tested? I am hoping that the testing gives you some answers and that it will be an easy fix so you can get your sticky bean!!

 

[hopestruck]

Hi BeachChica, thanks for your note. I'm very sorry for your losses as well .

I'm trying to wait to M/C on my own this time. My doctor gave me misoprostol to jumpstart the process, but I want to wait at least a week to see what happens. It's been 3 days since I started spotting, and I think things are starting to pick up. I'm experiencing AF cramps now so I am anticipating things to keep going from here. I will be so glad if I'm able to pass it naturally rather than use the miso - I hear nothing but horror stories about the stuff! The next best option would be a d&c, but again, hopefully things will progress on their own.

No, I haven't had any tests done yet. They offered it to me after the last loss, but I refused on the basis that I'm young, healthy, and have no history of any issues in my family. However, with a third loss now, we are definitely going forward with the testing.

What about you - have you had any tests done? I'm curious to see what the process is like. From the sounds of it the tests take forever to carry out. *argh*

 

[Loopyla]

Hi ladies hope you're all ok, I posted quite a while back and havent been back on here for a couple of weeks hope u dont mind me joining u all again!I just had a read over the last few page to catch up.

Beach -happy birthday
I've just got a question and I was hoping someone could help me im proper confused, we r trying our last month before we get referred to the fertility clinic and have decided to use the superdrug ovulation sticks, i started using them on cycle day 7 and got a positive. But everyday after that I have got a positive or nearly positive and its been over a week, Im still using them because i got 2 packs. am i doing something wrong here, Ive followed the instructions. Im confused :S
xx

 

[Emmediva]

BeachChica, I hope you feel better soon, so sorry you the cold has not gone away.

Hopestruck, I am sorry you are going through this, it is so hard to lose a lil beanie I hope the testing gives you your much needed answers and hopefully like you said they can prescribe something to help you.

Wookie130, get lots & lots of in there rooting you on!!

Lexi, WTH is up with them not wanting to do a beta?? This would SOOO put your mind at ease! I'm mad with you!

Kmp, so sorry the pampers commercial got you down itsucks we have to have such a hard time getting out lil baby.

AFM, I am starting Soy Isoflavones today!! CD5-9 here we go, hopefully I have a good outcome. I go to the doctor on Friday for my lab results, I am worried the nurse just called me last week to tell me the results were in but gave no info other than telling me the doc needs me to take baby aspirin every day while TTC. doctors!!

Hopestruck - the D&C's are not really bad. I have had 3. Its helps you move on a little faster and you are able to have the tissue tested which might not be a bad idea since you are on MC #3. I had MC #3 tested and it was a chromosomal problem. MC #4 was supposed to be tested for me but something got screwed up at the hospital. It would have been helpful for me to have the results of both to see if they were the same issue or something else. Just something to think about.
I did start seeing a RE after my 3rd MC and went through all of the testing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. Most of my testing has come back normal so there were really no explainations for my losses. My doctor just chalked it up to bad luck. They did discover a high homocysteine level which I now take extra Folic Acid for. I did get pregnant with #4 after the testing and tested low for progesterone. My non-pregnant levels were fine but after pregnancy they were not up to where they should have been. By the time I started taking the progesterone I was already at 7 weeks so not sure if it would have made a difference taking it earlier. I had about 3 scans where I saw a HB and everything was looking OK until I started bleeding at about 10 weeks. Since the tissue was not tested I have have nothing to go on for this loss. Next pregnancy (I am on a 6 month break and will start TTC again next month), DH and I will be on an antibiotic from CD3 for 10 days and I will be on Progesterone starting at 3 BPO to see if it makes a difference this time. I am also on: Prenatals, DHA, 2mg Folic Acid, 200mg CoQ10 and baby aspirin. The testing process does take about 3-4 months because they test in stages. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[hopestruck]

Thanks so much for all the info BeachChica. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't given any answers. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. That's great that they are taking a precautionary approach and have you on some antibiotics and other supplements. I took prenatals, extra folic acid, baby aspirin and royal jelly this time around, but it obviously was not enough for me. I am slightly encouraged though, as this pregnancy made it farther than the last two (in terms of baby's development).

I did have a D&C with my first loss, but I healed much faster from my natural M/C which is one of the reasons I'm hoping to do it again. I think they did testing on that one, and she said they would report back if there was anything to report (ie. if it was NOT chromosomally abnormal). I never heard back, so I am assuming that was the case. The second one happened at home, and to be honest I never even saw any tissue - must have been a very early loss. This time around, they gave me a little canister in which to put the "products". I'm quite upset by the prospect of having to dig my baby out of the mess and carry it away in a little plastic jar, but if it gives us answers, I'll do it. So hopefully we'll find out something.

I'm so not looking forward to 3-4 months of tests Truthfully I hope they identify something in my blood right away so we can start thinking about trying sooner rather than later.

Thanks so much again.
