Any other summer D&C's trying for fall BFP?

[Kika7]

Laska, treat yourselves to nice dinner, movie, cocoa and something more, you guys deserve a break and distraction from all that's happened.

HopingCarter, i only write here, but i also read the normal TTC forum, ttc after a loss, and ttc over 35... I pretty much know how to babymake, i think, but then 0 result in over 10 years

I'm excited about it though and i hope it happens to us all very very soon

Mommy, how old were you when diagnosed with celiac (you can choose not to answer that), I tested positive for antibodies in 2008 but my GP didn't think i had it, her argument being if i didnt have it as a kid then i dont have it. Back then i thought it's easier to just give up gluten anyway than argue with her and insist on having the biopsy. I was off gluten for two years and during that time i had 3 unsuccessful IUI, 2 unsuccessful IVF, and 1 unsuccessful ICSI, then i just gave up on everything - staying off gluten, love, hope, life, everything was whatever...

...until recently and so I,m staying off gluten...and it's damn hard...how do you do it?

Hugs

Laska AF showed up Friday evening. It was really spotty for the first couple of hours then like a flood, she came FULL FORCE. I have been having the worst cramps ever, and my normal remedy of Ibuprofen is doing very little at this point. I knew it was going to be a rough one because all of my menstrual cycles are, I never had a light one so it was expected, I suppose. CD3

Laska ~ glad you are feeling a bit better. Hope your nite planned was relaxing and you were able to enjoy each other's company. Dinner sounded good!

Hoping ~ yay for AF! Now you can officially start! Sorry it's so horrible for you though...

Kika ~ I am in a few of those forums as well. I am definitely in the over 35 category. As for the celiac...i was diagnosed last June. Positive for antibodies June 7 (I was 36-birthday is the end of June so just before I turned 37). Biopsy confirmed it July 17. I actually had NO issues until end of March that year. Then I was having a lot of right side flank pain and abnormal bms. Went through various tests...gallbladder, kidney, blood work, etc...nothing. I had been tested in 2007, only because my sister was diagnosed then and it was negative. She was 28 when she was disposed but she also has diabetes since age 7. With the history they tested me again and yep positive. And I haven't looked back since. Do I miss some things? Absolutely. But we didn't eat a lot of gluten filled foods in our house anyway. So it wasn't a major shock to daily living. I have learned to adjust my baking and cooking. It's hardest when on vacation and at others peoples houses or events...message me anytime you want with questions!

I have also read that Celiac can affect fertility and lead to miscarriage. So when I had my first mc, I flipped and immediately blamed that and mostly myself. Dr reassured me that it had nothing to do with it (for me specifically). But I am still nervous about being pregnant again, for many reasons of course.

Are you thinking that gluten has a played a role in fertility issues for you?

D&c July 15th - testing on October 18th

 

[Kika7]

Yay, Phoeniix, best of luck, any symptoms yet?

Since I only post here, I decided to check in --> CD 27 yay as long as AF shows tomorrow... My cycle went from being 30 days for years to 26 days a couple months before i got pregnant. Im scared of long or short cycles as Im over 35 and long&short cycles might mean beginning of menopause :/

HopingCarter, how many days since DC for AF to show? Im sorry it's painful have you tried hot water bottle

Laska, progesterone used to make me very sleepy --> same like pregnancy, so relax and enjoy and hope it leads to a sticky pregnancy like next week soon

MommytoLBG, i wish to think it's not gluten that kept me from getting pregnant last 10 years. Ive heard it messes with fertility, I'm not exactly sure how, though.

In the past, I've had trouble ovulate :/ I would not ovulate even after IVF hormone stimulation, so ya after high doze of whatever hormones they gave me i would eventually ovulate.

Also my lining wasn't thick enough...but mainly i would say was untreated quite high NK cells. We found out about the NK cells after my last ICSI and were going to do the treatment (which is more expensive than the ICSI) but a month later I was diagnosed with hydrosalpinx

So many many many factors and all quite complicated too... Ive kind of gave up on everything and anything after the hydrosalpinx news...and how i got pregnant naturally and made it to 9 weeks is kind of mystery to me...and to my doctors too.

I don't know if I would get pregnant again, and if i could carry it to term...but sure i'll try I'm now very excited and positive and hope it works.

I'm staying off gluten (just in case), I take high doze Omega3 fish oil without vitamin A and with added vitamin D (that's to tame my NK cells) and I walk 30 miles a week to help reduce inflammation (from NK cells and gluten antibodies)...I hope it works, and may be it working has nothing to do with what i do or didn't do...don't know what to think about it now --> just really hoping it works

hugs

P.P My bday is end of June too

 

[HopingCarter]

Laska I hope you had a great weekend with hubby. It's good to hear your getting to the progesterone. I hope it does what it's suppose to and more for you. FX for your sticky bean hun

I will be praying for you to get your BFP too Kika! I know it's a long time coming and you deserve to get that sticky bean soon. Sorry to hear you've had to go through so much

Hi Phoeniix, FX for a !

I can't wait until we get our first bfp on this thread! I think I'll be more excited than they are.

 

[HopingCarter]

Oh yes, and kika my D&C was on 9/8, so it was 32 days after. Not sure if that has any relevance to what I have to look forward to with other cycles but I hope not. I never tried to hot water bottle before. I tried the hot towel Saturday but after 1 hour I gave up when it didn't work.

 

[Laska5]

I'm really enjoying everyone's posts on this thread! Thank you everyone for joining in- it helps to know I'm not alone!

After an emotional breakdown last week (seriously it was bad) - I'm still feeling better this week except I'm having to be strong for a friend who I work with & who has been having a rough week. I was looking forward to going into work Friday morning to vent to her about my awful week (she's had 3 miscarriages in the past) but first thing when I came in - she was already in tears about her bad week - which she absolutely has had a rough few months. So Friday, Monday & Tuesday I have been staying strong for her & listening to everything she is going through- it's really been real exhausting. I just need someone to listen to me- I feel selfish for saying it but everytime I try to bring up something related to me- the subject gets changed back to her! I want to be a good friend & be there for her & I hope I'm not sounding completely selfish- but I'm also feeling very weak & vulnerable right now- I have hardly any strength left to be the support for someone else! whew! I can not wait for my anxiety to get back to normal!

mommy - thank you so much! Friday was very relaxing, I have a wonderful husband!

Kika- hoping to hear from you soon with a BFP!

Pheonix- testing day is almost here for you- the wait is always the hardest!

hopingcarter- so glad to hear your AF came! happy dance for you!!!

 

[Kika7]

CD 29 and still no AF and no PMS either i was hoping for 28 day cycles ...I'll keep you all posted, fingers crossed to everyone testing October and November...I cant wait to join the testing group in December

hugs

 

[brittay21]

Well, last night I decided to test and to my surprise a very faint BFP! I was around 8 dpo so definitely a surprise. One thing I will mention to everyone is that I have had NO pregnancy symptoms whatsoever. I have had 2 prior pregnancies both with early symptoms and it seems like after the D&C maybe things are different. Of course this is just the beginning and hopefully it sticks! I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey

 

[MommytoLBG]

Good morning lovely ladies. I will respond to you all later, but first wanted to post this...

Sorry if it causes some emotions, but I feel it is important to all of us...

Today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day (here in the U.S).

I am honoring my baby and all babies who are now little angels.

 

[aPharmD]

im late to joining but had a D&C 8/20. got AF back 9/13 and tried this past cycle but unfortunately got af back again today. looking for some friends for this journey!

 

[HopingCarter]

Hello aPharmD. I'm so sorry for your loss, and also for that showing up this month, but I'm happy you've found this thread. The support here is so amazing! I wish you luck on this journey and lots and lots of

 

[aPharmD]

thank you! where is everyone at in their cycles? anyone around cd1? or anyone waiting to test?!

 

[Laska5]

Congrats Brittany! Thats so exciting!

Welcome Pharm! I don't know where I'm at in my cycle- I'm on progesterone right now as my body has been messed up since my d&c on 8/15- it's been an awful emotional roller coaster & I am SOOO ready for it to be over with! Based on what the doctors has said Saturday or Sunday should be CD1 for me, but we'll see what my body decides to do!

 

[aPharmD]

Laska I was reading some of your posts on here. So sorry for your issues. It's bad enough with the loss and it's even worse dealing with the frustrations of not having your body back to normal. Hopefully the progesterone does its job and you'll get a new cycle. All I kept saying I wanted for my bday was to get af. Only time I'm my life id ever ask for that. good luck and keep me updated!

 

[Laska5]

Thank you pharm! My birthday was September 14th- almost a month after it happened. Would have been awesome to of had Af back then!!! Oh well- I'm trying not to dwell on my frustrations to the doctor!

 

[MommytoLBG]
