Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

[Tasha S.]

Welcome Renaendel! So sorry for you loss, they're so hard!! I hope you find all the support you need on this thread, and that smep works for you!

Sorry for just posting without responding to everyone, but this is going to be a fast one. I just want to ask for all the prayers I can get right now, I just went to the bathroom and saw that I'm spotting........that's how my last miscarriage started. I'm just hoping so much that this will turn out differently than last time! I'm nervous, but I haven't given up hope yet!

Ren - welcome!

Gemma - I hope I O'ed on CD 19. My temp dropped this morning so I have no idea if I did O. Then today, I have painful twinges on my left side. Is it possible to feel the egg traveling down the tube?


Kristina - Thumbs up for the relaxed cycle. Maybe this will be your BFP cycle!?!? . My LP is about 12-13 days long so I got ways to go. I hate the TWW. I hate analyzing every sx!

Tasha - My thoughts are with you! Are you seeing a doctor? Hopefully the spotting will turn out to be nothing!

 

[krystinab]

Tasha have you called your DR.? Lay down and keep your feet up. You will be at the top of my prayer list!

 

[Kdk24]

I haven't posted in FOREVER!!! Just dropping by to say hello!

Tasha... I'll keep you in my prayers! I know how scary any type of spotting can be! Relax and try not stress... Easier said then done I suppose? Stay positive lady!

 

[Renaendel]

Tasha' you have my prayers

 

[Sunny skies]

Welcome Rena, wishing you all the best with SMEP. Sorry for your loss.

Gemma, hope you get all your answers too, it's definitely stressful but worth it if it gives us the answers we need. My DH needed to be nudged, good thing men don't get pregnant Zi don't think they would have the patience we do.

May, I really hope it's your month. I heard the O pains usually are before O but Its possible you can be feeling that egg traveling in your tube.

Krystina, I love how you always put a positive spin on things. How great would it be that you get your BFP and all that cash back.

Tasha, thinking about you and praying all is well. Keep us posted.

KDK, any updates?

 

[stacergirl]

So sorry Tasha! Keeping you in my prayers!

Welcome Rena. Sorry about your recent loss! Hoping you get a sticky bean soon!

May-hoping you caught the egg!!

Krystina-I'm sure bd-ing is much better when it's not required!! Enjoy this month of relaxing!

Oh honey....try to stay calm. How heavy is the spotting? What colour? Any clots? Did you overdo it today, or strain in any way? I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

Sunny... No updates here! I got a promotion/transferred to a new restaurant, I'm a restaurant manager for a well know restauranteur. Which is exciting. We'll be moving to NYC in august for another promotion I'll be getting to open a new restaurant there!!
As crazy as it sounds this would literally be the worst timing in the world to get preggo, so we're takin it easy and just having fun. It's so nice to be able to eat and drink whatever and not worry that I might be preggos. We're jumping back on the bandwagon in April/May.

 

[Tasha S.]

Thanks everyone for your prayers!! It means so much to me!! This morning everything seems clear, I have a bit of a darkish yellow discharge...which could potentially be coloured by a bit of blood, but I'm not counting that as spotting! I've been resting since last night, DH prepared supper and everything. Arrrgggh!! So the spotting has subsided with resting, but now I'm kicking myself for my last miscarriage--which I know I just need to let go of and stop thinking about. But I feel guilty because last time when I saw I was spotting, I didn't think anything about it and went on with my day......could I have saved that one by resting?!?! "Tasha! Stop thinking about that!!" Right?!?! Dove, the spotting was brown, no fresh blood. Although you can bet I had dreams last night that I was bleeding fresh blood, and it took me a few moments this morning to sort through what was dream and what was reality. I haven't talked to any doctor, last time I started bleeding heavily during my first pregnancy, I called Canada's Health Info phone line and talked to a nurse who said 20% of women spot in early pregnancy. I haven't seen a doctor yet, so I don't know if I should talk to someone. I'm tempted to call the clinic that will be following me and begging for an early scan so I can at least hear the heartbeat and set my mind at rest, but DH went to work with the car, so that would mean I'd have to walk...it's not THAT far, about 15 min, but I'm thinking it's better if I rest, right?! Ohhh ladies! I'm trying to relax, but this is stressful!!

Kd-That's awesome about your promotion!!!! And being a restaurant manager!! Sounds like an adventure!

Thanks again for everything, ladies!!! xoxoxoxo

 

[Tasha S.]

Dove-I was just thinking that this would be around the time of my "would-have-been" period...maybe a few days before (my cycle started around the 1st of every month)...hadn't you mentioned something about getting period-like symptoms in early pregnancy at the time it would have come or something like that?? I'm trying to make sense of this! Are you doing well, Dove?

That all sounds very positive! If you can rest for the next few days, I'd definately take advantage of that.

They say that you can't stop a miscarriage, so no, resting wouldn't have helped last time, do banish those thoughts from your head, and try to concentrate on this little bean--that is now the size of a raspberry!!

Yep, some women get for the entire 1st trimester.

8 weeks is when I had my freak out, thinking something was wrong. Maybe it's just a common time, lol.

AFM, I'm ok...still nauseous here and there, some days are better than others. 17 weeks tomorrow. 18 weeks is when I found out we'd lost our son last time. REALLY looking forward to V day--still 6 weeks away--as my next milestone, and hopefully then I'll be able to relax some. OH has been using the doppler on my belly every night though, to reassure ourselves. No better sound on earth, than hearing baby's heartbeat

Seems like everyone is either taking a break, or starting the nexy step towards getting pregnant. I wish everyone luck and peace.

I mistakenly posted my reply to your first post INSIDE your quote, lol....d'uh...I blame pregnancy brain

 

[krystinab]

can anyone buy a doppler or do you have to have an Rx?

 

[dove830]

Anyone can get one, I bought mine off of Ebay 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter

 

[Tasha S.]

Hey all!! Just want to let you know that the spotting stopped, phewww!! It only happened on Tuesday evening, I've been clear ever since! Thanks again for your prayers!!

Dove-You're almost there!! 6 weeks will fly by!

 

[stacergirl]

Good to hear Tasha!

I went to the doc today and have been referred to a specialist because as I suspected, she thinks IUi would probably be a good option. So I guess we will have to go down that route. Excited that maybe this will work, but sad to get that news-no one wants to hear that. But thankfully because of you ladies I know I'm not alone! Which is good, so thanks!!! I'll keep you ladies posted-hopefully can go next week. I might be looking at the same treatment as snow (Clomid, shot, progesterone and IUi). If only I could be as lucky!! she did say my short lp could be half the problem though.

Hope you all are doing good!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Stacergirl-I wish you the best of luck!!!! There's a couple on my block that have a cute little 2-year-old, and they conceived with IUI, and it worked the first time around...and they had been TTC for a year. I hope you have a success story just like that!! xoxo

 

[snowflakes120]

Tasha - I know my co-worker had a day of spotting around her would-be period day.

Krystina - Hope your last relax cycle is THE one! I just got my doppler off the internet - no RX needed. And it is worth every damn penny. I had a meltdown last week because it wouldn't work - come to find out - it just needed new batteries!

May - Charts looking good girl! I would think that either would be fine. I know I did some a day or so later due to 7dpo falling on a weekend. I'd prolly go on the 9dpo.

Stacer - I know it sucks to hear the news about IUI but I thought of it as a means to an end of the fertility issues/emotional ups and downs and it was. I was actually quite excited when they told me IUI was next. I know alot of people want to conceive naturally but for some it just doesn't happen that way and that is perfectly fine! It doesn't bother me at all! Let me know if you have any questions once you get into it! The progesterone will def help with the LPD.

KDK - Hooray for promo!

Welcome Ren. So sorry for your loss.

 

[stacergirl]

Thanks snowflake-did you and your partner have any diagnosis that prevented you from conceiving naturally? (sorry if you've indicated this previously). My insurance doesn't cover the procedure so we will be paying out of pocket. Since you're in the states, do you mind giving me a price range for how much the procedure eith meds costed? I've googled it but get a wide range of results.

Thanks tasha! I'm hoping that's the case!

May-im hoping your bbt stays high!
