Any one else hoping to get pregnant in March?

[Hanskiz]

Hi all,
I had an EPRC yesterday and am hoping to atart TTC as soon as I feel better - so ideally getting a BFP in March - anyone care to join me on this journey??

 

[hollyw79]

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my d&c done a week ago. I took a HPT on Friday - 2 days after the surgery (which would be a week from when I started bleeding) and it was still pretty positive. I took one this morning and it's definitely lighter thank GOODNESS! Have you decided when you will check to see when you'll get a BFN? I NEVER thought I'd be looking forward to a BFN but I am now!

Also, last night was the first night in almost a month that I actually WANTED to with my husband- but the doc has that 2 week guideline so I am going to wait until next week. I didn't think I would want to be intimate so soon- but I do... so I feel ready! A March + would be wonnnnnnnnnnnnderful!

Hi hun,
So sorry for your loss hun, having your EPRC just yesterday as well it is such an emotional time. I think focusing on TTC will help you through this awful time, just dont put to much pressure on yourself.
In answer to your question - YES! I would love a BFP this March especially as it will have been 1 year since my loss last March.
Good luck hun and I look forward to hearing about your journey xx

Hello ladies,

Great to have some company!
I shall be doing a HPT in two weeks and assuming it is negative and I feel up to it we shall make a start then...
Obviously it's wildly optimistic to think I'll get pregnant straight away but no harm in a little optimism!
I've not found it difficult to fall in the past - and I feel very lucky - so here's to some GOOD news in a few weeks....
Good luck - my fingers are crossed for you.

[Coltsmommy]

Me me me!!! I should be ovulating around DS's 8th birthday, hopefully it will be lucky and make him a big brother!

 

[LiSa2010]

ME TOO!! I want to get a in March!!!!

so sorry for your losses. this is my 3rd cycle after m/c in Oct 2010. I am testing on March 15 or so depending on when I O, I have a 12day LP (lutheal phase). I usually O around CD13-CD15. today is CD9. will also be following SMEP this cycle, using Instead Softcups after , drinking Ruby Red Grapefruit juice for fertile CM, Mucinex to thin out CM, taking my prenatals, and I think that's about it... what are you ladies doing to get your March ?

FXd we get our March !

 

[hollyw79]

Ok, let's just pass around a BFP for everyone!!!! That'd be super awesome!

babyhopes2011~ I definitely agree that it's best to not tell your DH when you get a positive OPK- in January when I did get preggo- when it was "time" .. my DH had performance anxiety- we thankfully managed to "get there" .. but I know for future that only I (and you ladies!) will know when we get that nice + OPK!

LiSa2010~ I haven't read much about the ruby red grapefruit juice.. does it taste good??

What I plan on doing- I plan on doing exactly what I did in January honestly. We DID use Clomid and an IUI - that will have to wait at least 3 cycles before that can be introduced again- but hopefully we won't need to go there! BUT- I made sure we BD'd EVERY SINGLE DAY from cd9-the day after O.. that was FUN! - and tiring! lol .. I also plan on taking the mucinex/guaifenisin and also making sure my DH takes it too bc it can help sperm.. and also making sure DH and I take all of our vitamins consistently.

What are your ladies thoughts on baby aspirin after having a miscarriage?? My doc said it wasn't necessary as I only have had 1 miscarriage- but geeeeeeeesh- I do NOT want to ever go through this again ...

 

[Flowerbaby]

Hmmmm....i like the sound of the ruby red grapefruit juice! I mite try some of that, how much are you drinking a day??? Im gona opk, take my folic acid and calcium and before, during and after ov, yeah right in my dreams i can imagine my dh saying!! Lol! xx

 

[Hanskiz]

I reckon we'll just have a lot of sex! I was thinking about getting some pre seed too.. anyone tried that?
To be honest both this last pregnancy and my DD were 'one hit wonders' so I'm really just hoping that we live up to our previous record!
Both of those happened when I was tracking CM and it really does seem to work!
Just got to get through the next couple of weeks before even making a start - very frustrating - but I don't want to risk infection and think it's wise to let myself heal a bit.
Good luck all!!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Hey holly, i was thinkin of taking baby aspirin?? I just dont know wen to start? im having routine bloods and investigations at min as im 35 n had 2 m/ c's so am waiting on my results first i think. Another 7 weeks to go yet til we get them!! I think i may ring my gp once i get my bfp n see if he would advise it..im sure he will say no!! It does sound like it works though for some ppl. Yeah am defo not telling dh this month, will be telling you guys and thats it! Got a couple of nights out/meals planned wen im due ov so will put him off the scent then at least i wont be sat in at home climbing the walls knowing its ov time and hes not showing any interest! Dh isnt up for bd'ing in demand!! Ha ha ha so thats my cunning plan!!!

LiSa2010~ I haven't read much about the ruby red grapefruit juice.. does it taste good??

I like the taste of it. some people have said that it's bitter tasting so they add lemon juice to it or sugar. I buy the ruby red one cuz it's much much sweeter than the regular juice... if you buy some, make sure that it says, "not from concentrate", Tropicana makes it and that's the one I'm drinking.

They say only drink 1 cup as it is acidic and this is bad for the s. Only drink it up to O day.

I've never tried preseed but heard lots of good things about it..they also have another lubricant called Conceive Plus and women on here swear by it...

I've read that baby aspirin is a "can't hurt" type of thing. I took it the whole cycle but I've read that you should only take it up to O...

good luck ladies!!!

 

[LiSa2010]

I never tell hubby when Im Oing cuz he says, "its too much pressure" LOL LOL so I just seduce him when it's time....

 

[hollyw79]

Hanskiz- lots of sex miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight work I think that's the first order of business on the menu!! I haven't tried preseed but I DO recommend the guaifenisin to help the CM AND the sperm.

This is a GREAT article:

babyhopes2011~ I've heard a few different ways of taking the baby aspirin. One of my good friends lost 2 babies and her doc put her on it with the whole "it can't hurt- MIGHT help" .. she took it from cd1 throughout her whole pregnancy until the last month- the last month she stopped before delivery. She carried that healthy baby to term- she is now pregnant AGAIN 9 months after her last one was born and is 12 weeks along and still taking the baby aspirin. I also know some ladies that just took it from cd1-O. Personally- I am not really using it for 'conception' so much - more as to sustain the pregnancy so I would plan on taking it until 7-8 months for myself.

I know some docs say no but COUNTLESS fertility specialists put their patients on it- that to ME says something. I've thought about even taking it every other day- just to help- I really don't think it will hurt- as long as it's baby aspirin. I will do WHATEVER I can to prevent this so I am prettttty sure I am going to this time around.

LiSa2010~ thanks for the advice on the grapefruit juice- I am going to give it a whirlsy!

 

[Hanskiz]

I've never heard of this... Is it supposed to help prevent m/c? I might give it a go... Anyone got any useful links? I'm gonna google it right now!

 

[hollyw79]

It's one of those things that "MIGHT" help... but they don't know for sure. Supposedly it thins the blood and makes sure enough is flowing to the baby. I've read a ton of different links and they all say pretty much that it is undecided if it can or can't help. I just know my good friend used/uses it now and has had 2 healthy pregnancies after 2 miscarriages- plus a few ladies over in the assisted conception posting section have as well.
