Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[urchin]

Hmmmm I can't think of anything offhand - but if anything comes to me I'll let you know

 

[lucylou7]

Pink you are a very strong woman

Thanks FF, either that or crazy stupid... i think because i've was told from 6 weeks onwards that things weren't looking good and also as I didn't have any MS or awful symptoms a lot of the time I just didn't feel pregnant or was subconsciously preparing myself for the inevitable....

I know I was in denial for a while or just wishful thinking I suppose... but i feel like i've already been managing my grief for longer than the 2weeks since the actual MC.

And actually if i'm truly being honest with myself and you girls in the process I just want to be pregnant again asap

Big hugs Pink... we will all get there i just know it! xx

Well had my D&C yest, all went ok, feel a bit battered today but it's really helped knowing everything is out and all is clean in there, it's strange (don't know if this is just me?) even though I had the u/s that confirmed no h/b whilst the baby (we called it egg-bert) was in me I still felt pregnant and the news couldn't quite sink in, now it all feels a bit more real.
DH wants to start trying as soon as I'm healed in there but not sure I'm there yet, I feel emotionally drained, we've spent the last 3 months trying not to get too excited but of course secretly we was planning the nursery, talking names, arguing about parenting techniques etc so heartbreaking..... And the fact it took us 3 years to get this pregnancy is just b*llocks!!
I'm so scared of going through ttc again only for the same thing to happen

Sorry for rant but my heads a bit all over the place at the moment!

Also anyone else whos had a d&c - how soon after did you start exercising again?

xx

Wannabe congrats on the job.

MrsH congrats on your house.

Afm we had hsg today and everything is great. My tubes are all open. Yipee. Also we went in thinking that insurance wasnt covering the test and we had the money to pay for it. To my suprise the lady at the desk informed me all i had to pay was ourcopay. Not the 2000 dollars i was expecting to pay. I asked why and she informed me that my insurance covered it. I was shocked as they had told me two weeks ago that it wasnt covered and then bam today insurance covered it. Everything seems to be working out nicely and im thinking this will be it. We are going to have iui sometime next week. I will know more after ultrasound tomorrow. Fingers crossed that we get bfp this time.

vjp - that's good news, it's always sweeter when it comes on unexpectedly!

StickyB - I'm afraid I have no experience of D&C (and precious little of exercise )
but I'm sure someone will be along who does.
I opted to try to MC naturally (with the option of going back if it didn't start within a week - and luckily it did) Although I went for a scan afterwards to check that everything had passed, when I had my next period I actually passed the tiny baby.
The only reason I know this is because it got caught on my pad - but there is was, the size of a rice crispy. I was working away at the time, in some strange hotel, crying my eyes out and putting a brave face on it the next day.

I think from the body's point of view, if it will happen quickly, a natural MC is probably kindest - but emotionally, I think I would opt for a D&C, so that I was absolutely sure I wasn't going to be faced with that again

 

[MrsHowley81]

Happy Friday everyone!!

Sticky I am sorry you are having such an utter s**t time, I do hope that in time you feel better

Vj Great news on the tubes and the Insurance, I love it when you get a nice surprise like that.

We found out hubby is getting a payout this month from the Fire station which was an unexpected nice surprise

Well 14 days to go and still counting, you lot are really going to get annoyed with my count down now

 

[PocoHR]

Ouhhh Mrs. H I am so excited for you. Two weeks is coming up so soon! That is great news about the payout as well, I love getting surprise money.

@ash- I think a while ago you asked me what maca is and I rudely have not responded yet. I am sorry! Maca is a supplement that is supposed to help support your endocrine system. Here is a link about it: https://natural-fertility-info.com/maca. Just another fertility "potion" I am trying

@urchin How many more sleeps until your scan now? Is it just 3? I hope you are still feeling delightfully naseaous!

@Sticky - I am so sorry you are going through this. I didn't have a d&c with my miscarriage and it did kind of drag out the emotional healing process I think. Take all the time you need to feel ready again, because one thing you can be sure about is that eventually: you will be ready. So, just wait for that time and give yourself a well deserved break.

@vjp - I just love it when things fall into place, your story sounds like serendipity to me! FX it continues on this way and leads you to a beautiful bfp and baby

afm - My cycle is not being really normal this month. I am not sure why. I had a good amount of spotting on CD 9/10, which is odd for me. I am still having light traces of spotting but no EWCM, and normally by now my cm is at least starting to change, but nothing really so far. I don't know what to think! I am taking maca and wondering if it is to blame? Although that seems unlikely.

About twice a year I ovulate a week late, so perhaps that is what is going on too. I am glad I sprung for a packet of opks, because I might need them to stay sane over the next week! The maybebaby microscope shows ferning for me already (I tend to have a lot of ferning though), and the opk has a faint but certainly negative line. I think O is either coming or going... I just wish I knew which. DH is going to be getting a lot of this month as a result of all this uncertainty

 

[stuckinoki]

Hey ladies.

Wanted to drop in and say hello!
We had a BFP and then another miscarriage earlier this month. My doctor wants me to start taking 200mg clomid next couple cycles to see if it gives me some more healthy eggs!

DH has agreed to IUI when we get back to the states~! Hooray! We got orders to NC for next month! I am so excited to be leaving Japan...it couldn't happen soon enough.

I'm looking forward to being able to see a real specialist out in town when we get back, rather than the military docs I've been dealing with and I'm thrilled that DH agreed to the IUI!

Hopefully I get a run of good luck!

 

[Chels710]

Hi ladies, just wanted to quickly check in. Still no AF! She's usually right on time, but it's not completely unheard of for me to be late. I'm not getting excited becuse I feel like she will be here any minute.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Terrible night because of clomid. Last night was my third pill and it was not good. I had hot flashes that woke me up every hour and I found myself waking up crying about ... nothing! Terrible! They're not as bad as I thought they were going to be but I had no side effects with the first 2 pills so it just really threw me off. Only 2 more to go, thank god. Do you ladies think I could be experiencing side effects because it's building up in my system?

 

[PocoHR]

@stuckinoki - That is so amazing that you get to go back to the US, and that your DH has agreed to IUI! It looks like things are really falling into place for you. I am really sorry about your loss I hope your next bean comes with extra sticky juice.

@Chels - I hate having to wait for AF when I am sure she is coming, such a pain. Did you test anyway, or are you completley convinced this isn't the month? I am a big fan of always checking with a little test....

@Ash - Yikes, that does NOT sound fun. I imagine that it could be building up in your system. Or, maybe its not the clomid exactly but the hormones it affects. Sorry you had a crap night, I hope you get some decent sleep soon! Only two more... you can do it

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks poco! I'm sure I will be fine I just have to get through two more nights. OH wants to go to Atlantic city tonight and I think I'm going to go ... I take my pills at 7:30PM so if I go down to atlantic city I think it will take my mind off of stuff and I'll be fine. I was emotional because I was soooo hot and couldn't sleep .... stupid reason to cry but it was really frustrating! So I think going out is going to trump laying in bed ... since that wasn't really effective last night!

 

[PocoHR]

Definitely, I would go out too, its a great idea! You'll be so tired when you get home your body will have no choice but to sleep. I've always wanted to go to Atlantic City, it sounds like a fun place. Hope you have a blast!! Oh and you should keep a big thing of ice water next to your bed, maybe it will at least make you think your cooling down

 

[ashknowsbest]

I was apprehensive to tell OH yes we could go but I really think it's going to be a good idea! And yes, I will be so tired it will be nice =D AC is fun! If you ever get a chance to go you should definitely try to make it there! Go to the borgata, best place there! I always sleep with the window open and last night it was in the 30's and I was still hot ... so weird! I guess now I know what I have to look forward to with menopause!

 

[PocoHR]

Wow, those are some hot flashes, 30 degrees is cold! I guess its something for me to maybe look forward to as well. I kind of suspect I'll be getting some clomid in the future. If you find anything to cure them, you'll have to let us know!

 

[vjpfeif]

@ash: I know exactly how you feel. This was my sixth round of clomid, but it has been awhile since i had it last. I had no side effects until 2 days ago and i took my last pill tuesday night. For the past 2 nights i have had the night sweats, its been horrible. I turned the air down to 65in the house to try to cool off. I understand completely. I hope yours get better soon.

On a side note i had ultrasound today and they saw lots of follies. Biggest one right now measured at 11. Sounds like another scan on tuesday, trigger tuesday night and iui next thursday if all continues well. Fx.

 

[urchin]

Nahhh - count down in half days if you like MrsH - we're all right behind you xxx

@urchin How many more sleeps until your scan now? Is it just 3? I hope you are still feeling delightfully naseaous!

Just 3 more sleeps now - and the scan has been brought forward to 2.30 now, which is much better than half four!
Enjoy all the extra strumpage chikkie

stuckinoki - Am so sorry to hear of your loss - this really is the most heartbreaking occupation ... I wouldn't wish ttc on anyone
I didn't know chlomid has any effect on egg quality - but I hope it works for you chikkie xx

Hi ladies, just wanted to quickly check in. Still no AF! She's usually right on time, but it's not completely unheard of for me to be late. I'm not getting excited becuse I feel like she will be here any minute.

Hey Chels - well if she's coming I hope she manages not to spoil your weekend for you xxx

Sorry to hear you're having such a crap time of it Ash - I've never had chlomid, but I did have some really horrid injections in the run up to my fibroid op ... these turned my cycle off and gave me a false menopause - cue nasty hot flushes

AFM I've finished work for a week now and am just counting down the sleeps til monday
still very nauseous - drove all the way home scanning the roadside for places to be sick, but luckily made it home to the welcoming embrace of my own bog
Then had a real yearning for chip butties - which Mr Urch hunted and gathered and brought back to the cave

Hey Ash... The crying whilst i was on clomid was a killer for me too hun, i do think that its because its building up in your system hun... the things we have to go through hey hun?! xx

 

[ashknowsbest]

Yeah but when I hold my baby in my arms I know it will all be worth it. And it's really not that bad. I mean it does suck don't get me wrong but I did expect it to get worse! It probably will get worse actually .... I'll just have to wait and see. I feel fine today but I haven't taken it yet!
