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

[monro84]

Beach---I know what you mean on you have to do it no matter what basically. I think I am coming down with a UTI, started having symptoms last night. It's probably becuse of all the this week. Its been 5 days in a row now. I finally got my +opk this morning and usually O the next day. I have to get it today and tomrrow morning and I believe I would have all my basis covered cause he will be leaving tomorrow to go out of town and will not see him again till Sat or Sun. However he is more sore now from bd last night. I told him to get ready for a marathon a few weeks ago I guess he did not believe me..

Soop--Hope you get a supprise bfp this month that is your sticky.

About the UTI I took a cystex last night to help with the pain. I tried to read up on it about ttc would it affect anything but only thing I found is the cystex cranberry juice liquid supplement is suppose to sway to a girl. This was not what I was taking. Does anyone know if it is ok like it does not hurt the sperm, fertile cm, or implantation? Would not mind a girl though?

 

[BeachChica]

Soop - you never know what crazy things might happened when you are actually not trying!!! Good luck

Monro - I usually take Cipro when I get a UTI and drink lots of water. Not sure if that would be Ok for you to take for TTC, maybe do some googling about it. Your BD schedule sounds great this month. Keep it up and good luck!!!

NSN - Any updates???

AFM - I had my appointment today and I am measuring a couple days ahead at 6w+2d with a heartbeat of 102! They had a doctor do the sonogram this time. She said that little beans heart probably just started beating yesterday! She said she really thinks the bleeding I had was implantation and that little bean has implanted in a great spot. It looks like there is only one in there and everything is looking good so no explanation for the high HCG numbers.
She also took a look at my ovaries which no one has ever done at this stage and she could tell which one released the egg. Crazy! But she did say that my corpus luteum is active but not as active as it should be so its a good thing that I am on the progesterone. She said without it I would really have a problem.
My homocysteine is also high again so my doc is changing me from Folic Acid to Foliguard which he said is double the amount and should be absorbed by my body better.
Lets hope everything will go well this time. I go back in 2 weeks. Here's a pic of our little bean (not a great pic as I took a picture of my picture with my phone)

Just wanted to pop in to leave a quick note - I've been scrambling to try and get a million things done for our 12 day camping trip up to the Yukon/Alaska (hence not being around). So, just a quick note to say -

YAAAAAY!!! Congratulations Beach!!! Ive been stalking this thread with anticipation. So very glad to hear that things are going splendidly.

Quick update on me, my beta went up to 197 on what I think was 19dpo (a week ago on my last beta draw...hoping its up near the 1000s now). I'm definitely thinking this bean was a late implanter so I have started "counting" my weeks by when I think I implanted (at least 2 days later than normal). I know my numbers are still low but I'm trying to stay positive - Doctor said that my number was still in the normal range for 4-5 weeks pregnant. And, I've read so many hopeful stories with women whose betas started low and their babies just took a bit of time to "catch up". My symptoms are increasing (I swear my breasts grew 1/2 a cup size overnight...I'm quite small chested and this is unusual for me) so I am BELIEVING that this baby deserves a chance. I know in my heart that our forever baby is coming to us soon

Anywho, must run. Apologies for not being able to write back to you all individually, but I have been reading every day. The good news is I think everyone is doing A-OK right now

Bumble, sending all my positive thoughts to you, and glad they are going to do some investigating.

Yeeeeah Beach that's fabulous news, so so pleased for you

I'm feeling quite abit better today although still have quite a heavy cold. Last night I sat down and kind of twisted to the side as I sat and felt what I can only describe as like I tore something, or a pop type feeling, anyway, all day today I have had these funny pinching pains all over my tummy, and I think I had a couple of spots of blood on the toilet paper today. I just have this feeling that I could actually finally have done it this cycle, but even if I have then these pains are just like my last pregnancy so the idea that I could have done it fills me with fear. My question is, if I really am 6dpo, then is today too early to be implanting? as other than af (fingers crossed it isn't) then I can't think of any other explanation for the blood (the dots were so tiny it might not have even been blood). I don't normally get these pains during my cycle, and they aren't af pains, I'm confused and worried now

 

[Sooperhans]

Beach, fantastic news! Soooooo happy for you. Yayyyyyyyyyy! Thank you, never know with the not trying!

Thur, everything is firmly crossed for you xx

 

[Emmediva]

Beach, you have a peanut!!! I'm so happy you saw your beanie!!! happy & healthy 9 months to you!

Thurl, I think my beanie implante around 5dpo, I got a faint positive at 9dpo, so it is possible. Lots of baby to you! I hope you caught the egg!!! I have a good feeling since you have that temp hike and a cold.

Hope, are you getting another beta? I hope your numbers continue to rise and beanie gets snuggled in

:wave: hope to see more BFP's and great updates from all the preggos

 

[wookie130]

Beach, that's EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopestruck...keeping my fingers crossed. We've just got to keep on praying!

 

[monro84]

Beach--Congrats so excited for you. I still think that either one is hidding or its a girl. I don't think cipro is good to take if pregnant so I would say its not good while ttc. I wend to dr got lab done and they said no white blood cells so no infection or caught it very early. I got antibotics though and told them before they prescribed them to me that we were ttc.

Hope--thats great stalking so see u/s or next set of numbers

Thurl-good luck hope its getting very cozy in there and stuck really good.

 

[horseypants]

hi ladies, mind if i join you?

I've had two losses and am trying to conceive number one...

The first one was very early on in September 2011 (though it stuck around so technically a mmc), about when this thread started, and my more recent loss was also a mmc but baby's heart stopped beating around 9 weeks. I had a d&c on May 10th.

...I think I'm about to o but suddenly not in the mood and either is my poor dear fiance'. I have some reading to do to catch up with you all.............

 

[Nicki123]

Hi ladies.

Never - So want to hear your news!

Soop- fx for your one off bonk, stranger things have happened. But if not lets hope Sept is a lucky month. I hope all the testing goes ok.

Monro I hope you catch that egg.

Bumblebee - so sorry for what you're going through. That's so tough. I had left over tissue after my first mmc d&c and went through all the emotions of thinking I was pg again. It's so cruel. Big

Beach-lovely scan pic of beanie

Hopestruck - great PMA! Baby will be loving those positive vibes.

Thurl - sorry you've been poorly, hope you're on the mend. 6dpo isn't too early to implant, one of the ladies I follow seems to know exactly when she implanted and swears its 6dpo so it could be.

Welcome horseypants and sorry for your losses. Your picture is intriguing!

Hello wookie, kmp, Emme ....I'm sure I've missed some people, so sorry!

Afm, have had a great week. Had Tuesday off, spent 3 hours at the hairdressers (bliss) then met DH for lunch then went to watch Greco Roman Wrestling at the olympics (bizarre but fun), went to watch more olympics in hyde park tonight (amazing atmosphere) and off to the wedding tomorrow which I'm really looking forward to. I'm cd11 today, those 11 days have flown by. Feeling good! X

 

[kmp]

Nicki, I am so pleased you are doing soo well! and look it is time for o again!!

Beach, that is greeeeaaat that you heard the heartbeat!!!!! this is the first time you have had that experience right?? Can't wait to get there someday myself, congrats!!

Hope, that is a relief to hear that things are going better for beanie!! Are you getting betas repeated again soon?

Soop, thurl, and monro GL and fx'd for you girls!!

Hi Emme and wookie

I am now 13 dpo and know I am out Got a bfn and had "starting af today" type cramps. I must admit i had a pretty big cry about it, but now I am just waiting for af to start and thinking about the 25th when I will o again...

 

[BeachChica]

Hope - I think the 197 sounds good for 4-5 weeks. I think I was at 215 on my first HcG around that same time. Good luck!!! When is your next appt? You are going camping too??? Between you and Wookie you girls are making me feel like getting out my camping gear!!! Oh how I love to go camping!!!*

Thurl- 6dpo is not too early for implantation. FX for you this cycle!!!

Monro- hope you feel better soon!!!

Horsey- welcome to the group and so sorry for your losses. I totally understand just not feeling like it some months. This is a difficult journey after losses.

Nicki- going to the Olympics sounds amazing! Do you live far from there? I always love see see where everyone is from on here! It's so great that we are sharing experiences from so many places around the world!!!

Kmp- unfortunately this is not the first time seeing a HB. I had about 3 scans with HBs last pregnancy and still had a loss about 9 weeks I did look at my scans today though and last pregnancy I was always measuring behind. At my 8 week scan I was only measuring about 6w+5d. I hope that the fact that this one has better measurements is a better sign. FX!! *BTW- you are not out until the witch arrives!!!*

 

[thurl30]

horseypants sorry to hear about your losses, but you are very welcome here

Nicki so pleased to hear you have had a good week, I'm gutted I didn't make it to the olympics now, would have loved to have gone to the diving or syncro swimming! Have a great time at the wedding

Kmp don't count yourself out until the arrives, I have everything crossed for you

Beach your measurements are a good sign I just have a feeling that this one is your rainbow

to everyone else

My temp dropped this morning, that's 2 days in a row below FF's coverline, I always take my temp at 6am, this morning I woke up at 5.15am and did get back to sleep although obviously only for about half an hour, so I don't know how that would affect my temp. Anyway, I think it's probably all in my head, but would quite like the next week to hurry up so I can test and find out one way or another I'm off for a late shift at work now Have a great day everyone xx

 

[BeachChica]

Thurl - I still think your 5:15am temp would be good enough. I would go with that. You chart is very interesting this month, is this your first month temping? FX that the drop was an implantation dip for you. I have gotten them on my pregnant cycles (see my chart below). It always freaks me out when I see it but apparently its a good thing!

 

[monro84]

Niki--Good luck catching egg this month

Kmp--not over yet kup.

Horsey--sorry to hear that I am new too but just had my 5th loss, but I feel good about this month. I felt like that after my first loss but what keeps me going is knowing every month I try I am one month closer to my sticky baby.

Thurl--maybe temp drop is good thing. It might be a little lower than it normally is since you took it earlier.

AFM--I think I should O today. I got the last bd in last night and that is all till Sun. I did try this morning but it was not going to happen. He is so sore he had problems putting on his pants this morning poor guy. 6 straight days of would probably do it to you. We started on saturday because I thought I was going to O wed but the m/c threw it off I guess.

Think I am still ok If I O today or tomorrow? It should be today.

 

[Emmediva]

Horsey, I'm so sorry for your losses, TTC is very hard after you've experienced a loss. We've all been there, some of us have gotten back into the race immediately and others have taken time off.

Nicki, sounds like you've been busy in a good way, have fun at the wedding and good luck this month!

Soop, good luck this month hon baby to you.

Monro, with all that you've had, your chances of catching the egg are excellent!

Bumblebee,

Kmp, sorry to hear you got a BFN and think you're out, TTC is a roller coaster, you wait to O, wait to test and then start all over. You'll get there though!

Thurl, I've had temperatures dip below the cover line for my 1st pregnancy and this one, so fingers crossed it's an implantation dip!!! EeeK! If you didn't get up or drink water then waking up at 5:15 and falling back to sleep is fine.

Andrea (NSN) went into labor in the early hours this morning (US time). I've been glued to her journal but no other updates, I hope she is already holding her precious baby. I'm dying to know if it's a girl or boy!!

AFM, a little sad today, today would've been my EDD for my 1st pregnancy and mc, I do feel better knowing I am carrying a baby again and knowing I made it past the dreaded 6+4, but I still wonder what could've been. I wonder if I had been on progesterone supplements, would that have made a difference, IF, IF, IF... I pray that I will be holding this baby next August 10th, and he or she will be around 6 months old at that time. I will always miss my 1st beanie

 

[BeachChica]

Monro - with all that BDing sounds like you've got your bases covered. Your poor DH!!! You really wore him out. Hopefully this will be your month but if not next month can you wait until your line starts getting dark on your OPK to start? They recommend only doing it ever other day leading up to O then the day of and day after. That might help keeping him from getting sore.

Emme - Sorry you are feeling down today. This journey is so tough and the what ifs... well those are just the worst!!!

Yeah for NSN - gosh what a long week it must have been for her!! Can't wait for her update.

 

[horseypants]

morning ladies, thanks for the warm welcome. OH and i came together a bit last night and had a good talk about whether to wait or go ahead in the next few days. we came down together in the middle so i betchya we will try if the timing falls right. beach chica, congrats!!!! you're a sweetpea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thurl, i think it is possible it lowered your temp but i don't know the rest of the context other than you woke up a touch early. i notice when i do, mine can be significantly lower, even if it's only an hour's difference. something about how deeply you're sleeping at the time?

monro, wowee zowee! i really wish i could say my OH was that sore this morning but alas you and i may be on the 2ww wait together. yes! how long have you been trying for? i've been trying a little less than 2 years now, but i only pulled out the whole bag o tricks more recently, about a year ago i'd say?

kmp

emmediva, what made you try the progesterone? i'm torn between using something like that or aspirin, or just giving it a third blind go with fingers crossed.

heya wookie, missed ya! yay bean!

 

[thurl30]

everyone

It's the weekend yaaaaaaay

Thanks for all the replies, the only thing is I didn't think quick enough when I woke up at 5.15, so what I did was fell back to sleep some time after 5.15, and then woke at 6 as normal with my alarm and took my temp then, so I didn't actually take it at 5.15 which would have been the sensible thing, I didn't get out of bed or anything, but I reckon my body was quite awake by 6 even though I had fell back to sleep. Beach I agree my chart is all over the place this month, this is my first month temping, I think it's because I rarely have 3 hours undisturbed sleep, I tend to wake somewhere between 4am and 5.30am, so perhaps I need to bring forward the time I actually do my temp

 

[Emmediva]

Horsey, for almost 3 years my boobs stopped being sore before AF, so I knew my progesterone level was low. I actually tried herbal supplements to get pregnant and it worked, I didn't have any success prior to using the supplements. I got my doctor to prescribe Progesterone supplements to increase my levels, nourish my uterine lining an allow a fertilized egg to implant.

Thurl, go to this site https://www.babymed.com/fertility-awareness/basal-body-temperature-bbt-charting-introduction
It gives you more info about temping. You are okay within 30-60 minutes of the normal time you temp.
