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

[HopingCarter]

Hey Kika!! If you're on your phone, it is going to be a reply at the very top above the first post of that page. If you're on a computer, there should be a post reply button at the bottom below the last post of the page. Hope it's right..and if AF came yesterday then today is CD2, woohoo!!

Laska my bday was sept 17 so 4 weeks after my d&c! And hopingCarter you make me laugh Bc my dh an I joke now about what a chore bd'ing was last month. It's like when you know you are ttc it somehow makes it not as fun lol. This month while I'm still trying I'm hoping to make it a little more fun and not so like "okay hurry up" haha that sounds awful!

 

[HopingCarter]

I know right!! This will be our first official month "trying" because when we first decided to get pregnant and it feels like so much pressure, even for me, so I can only imagine how the hubbies feel. He seems just as excited as I do though to at lease try because yesterday he was READY. He actually asked me "so when do we start" lol...wait until we're 3 or 4 months in and we'll see how he is then lol

Wow- we're almost birthday buddies! Now I have to ask where at in Missouri do you live? I was born in KC. Live in Arkansas now though. & uh GO ROYALS!!!!!

Ladies- I am SOOO ready to be off of this progesterone- I swear I've swelled up like a balloon this week- hardly anything fits. I'm so glad I only have to wear scrubs to work! It's also been causing diarrhea/upset stomach almost everyday - sorry TMI! Tomorrow is my last pill then I should start my period on Saturday or Sunday. We shall see.

Well, 11 dpo and used a first response this morning and it was definitely a good positive! I still don't have any symptoms like I did before (sore bbs) but I have had very mild cramping starting yesterday. The only thing I will say is I have been extremely congested. I know there is such thing as pregnancy rhinitis which usually starts later in pregnancy but every morning I am stuffed up and sneezing and I can't help but think its a symptom as I do not have allergies or a cold. I have my first appointment this morning with an NP at my OBs office. I plan to discuss the use of progesterone. I really don't know what to do because I've never had my progesterone levels tested but on the other hand they say it can't hurt the baby so why not take it as a precautionary measure. I'm happy/surprised right now though because despite my two previous miscarriages I feel calm instead of anxious. I feel good about it this time

Pharma, my period started on 15th October so CD 3 for me today

HopingCarter, i see the "quick reply" but it doesnt show the smiley option.

I now clicked on reply with quote and deleted all Laska said but on my right i now see the smileys window and i can use cool smileys like and haha

HopingCarter i didnt know how to baby make when i was 24 so we just stopped using protection when we decided we were ready and since we were young and not in a hurry we never charted,temp'ed, etc, just babymade whenever we felt like it...and 12 months later we saw a doctor andd found out we got problems and stuff so for the next 5-6 years it was pretty much assisted conception until June, when we weren't trying, we didn't even kiss during my ovulation week and i fell pregnant. So it must have happened right after AF was gone, we made love on day 7 and day 8 of a 26 days cycle. So better start 'ing early on the cycle

Fingers crossed everyone

hugs

Brittany thats awesome

Is it your first baby? how far along were yo when you had your miscarriages? You should talk to OB about having an early scan to see baby's heartbeat and Ive a feeling we'll all have sticky beans by Christmas s so have plenty of rest/naps, good food, cuddles and kisses from hubby and let your bean grow nice and strong inside you for the next 9 months

(i did a stork for each of us, and a few extra for the girls who may join later, or for us if someone ends up with twins)

Hi Kika!
I have had two miscarriages back to back. The first one was a chemical and it was the first month off birth control. The second miscarriage was a missed miscarriage; I started spotting without pain at 14.5 weeks and the fetus measured 11 weeks. Unfortunately, with the second pregnancy I established a heartbeat just days prior (10.5 weeks). This time I plan to get labs to make sure my progesterone is in a healthy range but I wont get any early ultrasounds and will probably check for a heartbeat by Doppler closer to 12-13 weeks. Having heard the heartbeat at 10.5 weeks by Doppler the second time I thought that I was in the 'clear' but I wasn't so I want to wait until closer to the second trimester. I know it sounds weird but you can have such a normal appearance to the pregnancy and get blindsided (at least that's how I felt at the time).....although I should have known something was up the second time when I had an abrupt decrease in morning sickness (all day sickness) at the time I lost my baby.

**to add to my symptoms this time around---increased yellow CM.

Laksa, I live in St. Louis. We have some family and dh went to school in kc at umkc. We're actually headed there Halloween weekend and yea I'm cheering for the royals since my cards didn't play so hot this series!

Kika, I'm cd3 also today so we're cycle buddies! Hopefully this is our month!!

 

[HopingCarter]

Brit, I'm so happy for you!! I just have a feeling this will be a sticky for you and before you know it you'll be in 3rd Tri!!....I hope this is going to jump start more bfps and sticky beans on here...
I was the exact same as your second pregnancy. I heard the heartbeat on a doppler at my OBs office at 10+2 and I thought I was in the clear because my OB said that my chances of miscarrying at that point was less than 1%. I didn't have any decrease in symptoms, as a matter of fact I had the symptoms until almost a week after the MC. Anywho, in good news, today we get to make WHOOPIE!!
So Kika, I will be taking your advice and kissing and hugging and loving my hubby until I make my baby lol! .....then and the waiting game lol. I'm trying to be as positive as possible. Thanks for the stork

 

[aPharmD]

Hi Brit! I'm new on here but wanted to say congrats!!! Hopefully you're starting a trend for all of us!! ��

And hopingCarter... Good luck!! And most importantly have fun!! ��

 

[MommytoLBG]

Congrats Brit!!!! Sticky bean dust being sent your way!!!

Get busy Hoping!!

Thank you Kika for the stork! Hopefully your feeling about little beans by Christmas is right!!!

Hi to the rest of you!

 

[Kika7]

Hoping, i really like your family status "TTC #1" how did you do it? I couldnt find it in the drop menu

I was reading about temping in the 1st time moms thread, then i did a lot of googling and now i want to try temping I cant choose a therm though, some say rectal, some say oral, does anyone here temp, or shall i go ask in the other thread?

hugs

 

[HopingCarter]

Oh right underneath that same box, it has another box and it tells you what your current family status is and then the line underneath gives you the option to type in your own words. Then when your done just save it

 

[brittay21]

Well, so far so good! I have started progesterone capsules (vaginally) twice daily until 13 weeks. I still don't really have symptoms other than mild cramping for the last several days. It's hard not to analyze but just when you think your out, surprise! Good luck to everyone

 

[Kika7]

Cramping is a great symptom Last time i had no symptoms cause i didnt know i was pregnant (we were using protection kinda) but now i know i had lots of symptoms...

Brittany im so happy and excited for you. Did the actually test your progesterone levels or they gave you prescription cause it cant harm baby anyway?

Hoping, im going to go try change my TTC status, wish me luck haha Ive a feeling it wont work grrr

hugs everyone

editted

changging status didnt work for me hoping that the actual conceiving will work better than changing status...good luck everyone.

HopingCarter, when i clicked to view your profile, your family status is actually Trying to conceive (TTC), but when you post, underneath you name I cant see your family status, I only see TTC Rainbow #1 awe that's so sweet FX for a sticky one

 

[brittay21]

Kika,

They started me on progesterone without any bloodwork. A 'spot' progesterone level is not of any help really and the range varies widely. It is so hard, because you don't really know what to do. Like you said, it can't hurt the baby which is their rationale. As I lost my last baby at 10+5 I wondered if it really could be progesterone but they say that sometimes a women's progesterone drops off suddenly and we don't know why.

Lol Kika, FX that your conception will be fast and effortless. I don't know why it's not working though. I changed the status to TTC Rainbow #1 just to make sure I was giving you the right instructions and obviously I still didn't. BOOOOOOOO Now I'm frustrated I'm gonna try it one more time

 

[Kika7]

Totally, off subject, ive been feeling depressed lately not sure if i want to move country and leave my family and friends, and job behind and jump into unknown and not have a job and start new family without even knowing if i can ever have babies...

May be i should give up on the idea of having a family and focus on career, friends and nieces, nephews...

how's everyone doing?

hugs

 

[HopingCarter]

Good Morning Kika!! I am doing well today. I understand your conflict too. Whatever you decide, I hope you still come back here and still chat with us if it's to stop TTC. I don't think you should give up the idea of TTC, but in the end I know you'll do what's best for you and your future. Either way, we'll be here to support you
