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

[wookie130]

What a lucky day it's been for this thread.

Beach, I'd err on the side of calling your practitioner now. That way they can start working on a plan of action for you...betas, early scans, etc. You're on the progesterone now, which is great, but I'd push for them to do at least one set of betas, and an early scan between 7-8 weeks. That's what I'm doing. Good luck!

 

[Emmediva]

Wow so I am away for a couple of days and come back to lots of news!!!

Lady, congratulations your princess is beautiful!!

Bumble, so sorry you had a bleed I’ve had it three times with this pregnancy and it scares the heck out of you! I hope you get no more scares

Andrea, I am so happy you are much better and baby is fine I hope things continue to improve

Beach, congratulations!!!! I’m so happy for you! This is indeed one lucky thread!!! Lots of sticky baby Beach, I would try to get an early scan & blood work. With you having losses before you need to get checked asap. I got my 1st beta at 13dpo I believe. 1st ultrasound at 5weeks 6days.

Nicki, OMG!!!! YAY for you!!! lucky thread I tell ya!!! Lots of sticky baby and I would try to get an appointment, are you on progesterone supplements?

Three BFP's in a row, what a lucky lucky thread!!! Hoping to see lots more!!

Hopestruck, congratulations!! Lots of sticky baby

Lexi, aww so happy you are feeling your baby move
:wave: Hi to anyone I may have missed. Sending tons and tons of baby

AFM, I am just waiting on my appointment on Monday, hoping to see the baby again and ready to ask some questions about birth etc. I’ve watched The business of being born and Pregnant in America, and I must say, they are very informative movies. I’ll be 14 weeks tomorrow!!! YAY!!! I’m still going home every day and looking for my babies heartbeat it reassures me to hear it. I need time to fly by

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks ladies - So I called the doctors office today (my RE) and they had an appointment tomorrow or August 14th so I tool the one tomorrow. Better safe than sorry right, especially after my 4 losses. :sad:

Wookie, Emme - are you seeing your regular OB or a specialist? I am torn who to go to. I have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow but I am wondering now that I have been though all of my testing if I should just go to a regular OB, as long as they would be willing to monitor me as closely (scans, etc) as the specialist.

 

[Emmediva]

Beach, I am seeing a regular OB/Gyn, she knew about my 1st miscarriage. She put me on Progesteone supplements at my request right away and then monitored me with my 2nd miscarriage, I knew right away I was going to miscarry because she was following me closely. With this one she did 3 betas to make sure HCG count was progressing and gave me the early scan to make sure there was a fetal pole & sac, the heartbeat was an extra that was not expected so early so you can do either. Which ever will support you, ask for tests & early ultrasound.

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks Emme - I went to the specialist for #3 had bloods and scans about every 10 days to 2 weeks but its definitely a different experience than going to a regular OB,. The specialist office is more like a hospital setting. I guess I will see how it goes tomorrow and what he thinks.

 

[Nicki123]

To all the ladies worrying about the faintness of their lines (I.e ME today!), this thread is a sanity saver the lady who started the thread had a bfn at 14dpo and a faint + at 16dpo. She went on to have great blood results at six weeks and is currently 10 weeks. Others on the thread saying they didn't get a strong line til 8 weeks etc!

[wookie130]

Beach, I go to an OB/gyn. There are actually several in the same office, and you're never quite sure who you're going to see in person, and I have no idea which one would deliver me. Fortunately, they're all great in the clinic, so I don't have much to worry about.

 

[Misswish]

Wow this really is a lucky thread!! A huge congrats to Beach, Nicki& Hopestruck. How amazing is that getting three BFP in a row!! So happy for you all!! I wouldn't worry about the faintness of the line it's definately visible. Yay for you ladies that's gr8 you're feeling calm Nicki. I couldn't get into my doctor earlier when I first found out so I just rang the medical centre & asked whether she could ring back & give me a script for progesterone & a form for 7wk scan. Sounds gr8 you three being bump buddies.
Goodluck to everyone esle that is TTC you're BFP are coming too

Hi ladies, thank you soooo much for your encouragement. Just wanted to give an update. I took another FRER this morning (14dpo) and the line took forever to come up. When it did it was essentially the same darkness as yesterday's (13dpo). I know there are many factors at influence a test's darkness, etc etc but I honestly just don't feel right about this one. I'm thinking chemical. With my history, I just have to prepare myself for the worst at this stage. I'll go for the 2nd beta tomorrow, and obviously that will shed a lot more light into what's going on. In the meantime I'm going to drop off again for a bit... Try to distract myself until I get a more definitive idea of what's going on here.

Sending you all my best, I'll check in again in a bit.

I hope you're wrong, but take care of yourself.

Hey ladies, I don't check the thread for one day and look what happens! Beach, Hope, Nicki congratulations on your bfps, bloody fantastic news. Lexi you felt movement, that's amazing. Really am so pleased for everyone. Nicki I want that rug!

Trust me to be the downer post....I'm shitting myself about Monday and what they are going to find. I've had yet another clot in af...I don't think I'm ever going to get there and for the first time I'm thinking about giving the ttc a miss for a while. It's too hard, I've gone up 2 dress sizes with all the weight I've put on and I just don't have any energy anymore. I've had to leave work early from sobbing and I've made an idiot of myself. I feel so old and so heavy with it all. I'll see what they say on Monday....sorry to moan x

 

[kmp]

Oh Soop, sorry to hear you are feeling so down. There are sooo many ups and downs in ttcal. I totally understand when you start to get that feeling that it is not going to happen and nothing works out right, but once you get your forever baby all of this will be worth it! It just does not seem fair sometimes and frankly IT ISN'T, but i am sure by your online personality that you will be a wonderful mommy!.. hopefully soon. Have you had an hsg recently? Just asking cause I have had two and fibroids can cause clots. Most fibroids do not cause any harm, but if large enough may need to be removed..

AFM, I am now cd 16 and was disappointed with another high on my cbfm (was hoping for a peak). It sucks cuz I was not able to ttc last month as I was still recovering, but I know I was super fertile with tons of cm and ov symptoms and now I can ttc and I don't even feel o coming Still hoping I will have one healthy egg to be fertilized! This is my second month on soy and I am regretting taking it since I don't have problems with o and am fearing it is messing me up...I guess we'll see what happens.

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Well don't worry sooperhans I'm going to have to bring down the post too. Yesterday had seriously heavy bleeding sent to the epau at hospital had bloods taken etc but now having really heavy bleeding and clotting going back tomorrow for more tests but looks like miscarriage no 3 in 1 year. I feel like giving up x x x

 

[Emmediva]

Soop, don't stress, I had blood clots all the time with AF, I thought it was normal and they were TMI big clots, like I could feel them come out sometimes. Total ewwww moment!! I really never thought much about it, but when I didn't get pregnant, I started taking the supplements. I was told by my RE I have a fibroid and it's been seen twice with this pregnancy, yet here I am. I was told mine wouldn't cause any harm to the baby unless the egg had implanted close to it, which by Gods glory the egg attached on the opposite side. So hang in there, don't give up. You WILL get your BFP. Are you taking any supplements to make sure you ovulate?

Kmp, how much Soy Isoflavones are you taking? And do you drink or eat anything drink your cycle that contains soy?

Bumble, so sorry you are going through this are you supplementing with progesterone? I really feel that has helped me with this pregnancy. I have a friend on BNB that bled lots through her pregnacy and she just had her baby a week or so ago. I'm hoping it is not a miscarriage. We are here for you.

 

[wookie130]

Bumblebee...I really hope you're wrong, and you're not losing yet another. You're in my prayers.

Soop...awwww, it's hard, I know. Nothing can bring you down more than TTC and loss. If you need to take a break for a while, we will understand.

 

[BeachChica]

Hopestruck - I hope you are wrong but like wookie said, please take care of yourself!! Some women don't get dark lines until much later.

Soop - I am so sorry you are feeking down. I know how you feel about wanting to give up sometimes. This journey is so hard. Try to stay positive. I am very anxious for your appointment Monday, I hope it will help provide some answers. Are you seeing a specialist? Also, regarding the clotting, are you taking baby aspirin? This might help a little.

Bumblebee - I hope this is not a MC I am here if you need to talk. I have had 4 MC's in 13 months so I know how difficult it is. Are they going to scan you?

 

[lexi374]

Soop dont feel bad about posting.... good news and bad here remember that!

I have felt exactly the same as you many times before now, all i can offer is . If you feel like you need a break from ttc then take one hun. For me i felt like i needed to keep plugging away, but ive got a few years on you...

I know you are scared about your scan but one step at a time, lets see what they say first, ok? I think you will get there sweetie have a little hope x

Bumble im so sorry i hope you are not miscarrying again, please let us know how you get on, we will be thinking of you x

 

[Neversaynever]

Soop...massive sweetie this really is such a tough journey that shouldn't have to be so hard emotionally, physically or anything negative my advice would be do what you feel is right. I know for me, my turning point came when I started my journal on here, it was a perfect outlet so if threads were upsetting me or I didn't feel sociable, I could still let my feelings out and felt much better for it and without the worry that I had to put the bright face on all the time. I also have a fibroid that was found with my first pregnanacy...doesn't always mean bad news just know that we have all felt like throwing the towel in at some point...we will still be here with and stuff for you.

Bumble..I'm sorry you're having a scare..I truly hope that it's not another loss

Beach..I think you're right to see someone sooner rather than later too..plan of action etc

Thurl...hope you get your peak soon

and to everyone

XxX

 

[Nicki123]

Hey Soop. Big big from me. Only you can know if taking a break is the right thing to do, but I have to say that mybreak did me the world of good. During that time I did lots of thinking and chatting with DH. I also went out and had lots of fun before getting myself healthy again. It was the best time and really sorted my head out. Whatever you decide we are here for you. Will be thinking of you on Monday.

Bumblebee I'm so sorry...I really hope it's not another mc, and have my fx tightly for you

Hope I also Have my fx for you. Don't give up yet - read that thread about some ladies not getting strong lines for ages.

Kmp I hope eggy makes an appearance soon.

Beach how did your appointment go?

Hello everyone else x

I took 110 mg day 1-3 and 165 on days 4-5. I don't eat anything with soy in it really. I am starting to feel a bit more like o is coming, fx'd

Soo sorry bumble, I am sure ur stomach is in knots, I would tell you to try to be calm, but I know it is not possible. We r here for you either way...
