Anyone MC in April wanna buddy up for encouragement?!

[Finallytrying]

I woke up to EWCM this morning!! WAHOO!!! im gunna be joining you ladies in the 2WW! I was shocked bc that means i Ov'd at my normal time!! i thought i wouldnt have bc my first MC i Ov'd a week later than my normal time! And i thought for sure with my 2nd MC i would Ov later bc it was ALOT heavier of a MC....

Im so excited!! Even if i dont get a BFP this cycle, im just glad my body is kinda back to normal!

(I also wonder if it was the soy nuts i was eating at the beginning of the cycle that helped bring my Ov to be normal?)

That is so exciting!! Hopefully we caught our little egg because hubby goes back and forth on me getting pregnant before af, we did have on Saturday the day of my positive opk but I'm not sure if we do it again if it will be too late... Why are men so undecided

 

[Little J]

haha, yea Hubby wasnt sure if we should be more "careful" this time around since i had 2 MC in a row, but we both decided its just too wierd to use protection..... plus, medically there shouldnt be any reason to need to be careful as long as we felt ok about it.

So we have been going about our business as usual. I wasnt sure when id Ov (i was actually thinking id Ov this coming weekend just like how i did last MC) so we did the deed friday night and yesterday (i mean i didnt lay there like they say to for a bit to give the guys a chance, but its better than not doing it at all!) sorry tmi...

We were probably going to do BD tonight one last time.... just to cover any bases. Bring on the 2WW haha (never thought id say that with such excitement! haha)

 

[Finallytrying]

We did three days before positive opk and the day of so if we don't catch it, it wasn't meant to be.. Although hubby thinks we are probably pregnant.

So now it's cutting out coffee, alcohol, although I may have to have some here and there to deter the questions from my family but if I get a bfp then there is none. I am still taking the aspirin as well as the pre natal vitamins, which these ones seem to have more vitamin in them because when I go pee it's got that neon effect (tmi) where as the ones I used last time didn't do anything.

Hi ladies I've been lurking in the wings for the last week just reading everyone posts so thought I'd say hi as it's getting closer to my hubby coming back from his 6 month tour in afghan so we can try again. I had a chemical pregnancy (just under 5weeks) in April ( he was home on his leave mid march so we managed to catch e egg unbelievably as he's only gets 2 weeks home). He's home in just over 4 weeks! Getting excited now, although since having the mc I've had a few tests done, hormone profiling to. Heck everything is working ok, as was on depo injection until march 2011 and still having irregular periods, well basically it's come back my estrogen levels are low so doc has referred me to gyny as he's worried it could be premature menopause! I. Hoping he's being over precaucious tho as I'm only just 30 and there no history in family!

Been to homeopath too and he thinks definitely not and believes it my stress levels are so high Im all out of balance. Hope so!

Good luck to u all!! Xxx

Yes i am still taking my low dose aspirin and pre-natals (my prenatals vitamins do that to me too with my urine!) If i were u id get 1 more BD in, just in case... bc they say once ur get ur +OPK that means ull ov in then next 24-48 hours.

I am the same way, i defo steer clear of anything once i get my BFP, i still drink alch here and there until i get my BFP but i dont go crazy i usually stick to wine in my 2WW. haha It really feels nice to be in the situation again, thought itd be a while before i was in the 2WW

Welcome lisaloo, I am so sorry about your loss but excited for your hubby to come. Hopefully you catch an egg and have a sticky bean. Are you going to go back to the dr to see if they are going to give you anything for the possibility of low estrogen? Hopefully you get some more answers about what is going on and they come back saying they did the test wrong and everything is good.

Hi ya Lisa!
Your body still may be coming back from the depo shot.... depo deprives your body of Estrogen.... so maybe its just taking your body a little longer to remember how it all works! But yes stress is also an inhibitor for hormones (ive learned that as well peronally.....i just need to relax somtimes!) My mother was on depo for a while and it took her over a year to get pregnant with my little sister (where as it didnt take her long at all for myself and my older sister who is 13 months older than i am) but she wastn on DEPO before she had my older sister and I. Excited hubby will be back soon for u! good luck with everything!

I will try and rope in the hubby tonight.. I gave him very well thought out reasons to why I don't want to wait and that if the dr said it was a chromosome issue then the chances of it happening again are low and he agreed and if we do miscarry again we will be closer to having tests done to see what is going on.

hear hear! I think guys dont understand and thats why they need to be reasoned or better explained. Even if you were to MC right away again (like myself) that doesnt mean it happend bc your got pregnant again so fast.

I agree about if it happens again then ur another step closer to getting answers as to why it keeps happening... it sucks the Dr.s follow a protocol on having women go through 2-3 heartaches from MC before they do anything. I see where they are coming from bc things like MC do happen for fluke reasons but seriously... emotionally is not nice and if we feel the need to bite somthing in the butt sooner than later, i think we should be able to!

I say you put on your finest and seduce him, he will have NO way and being able to say no Iv got my fingers crossed for us in the 2WW!

and hoping for our soon-to be ovulators to have some good eggies!

Thank you. I'm hoping it's the depo and stress put together and that it's something easily fixed Xx

Hi all - does anyone know if OPKs and the CBFM really don't work immediately following a MC? I haven't gotten my period yet, but got a positive OPK (all last week they are negative, so I know that its not my mc hormones making it positive). The CBFM didn't go to "peak" today, it was just "high", but the OPK was DEFINITELY positive....

no idea, sorry hun..... i tried OPKs a couple times and they never work for me...even when i used them for 2 weeks around the time i "shoulda" ovulated (before and after) and i never got a +. But one of those times i fell pregnant so i have no idea why they dont work for me but works well for everyone else?

The opk worked for me after my mc but before they only got close to positive, I got my positive this time cd28 and I don't know what I am feeling but i think it's ovulation pain on my right side today. I would take two more tests today one in the middle of the day and one before bed and then te same tomorrow morning afternoon and night because you might miss the surge.

 

[baby_bray]

I've been using the OPKs this cycle (first time) and so far so good! I got my first positive yesterday on CD13 and I got them today too, even darker. So I think I should OV probably tonight, I've been feeling some mild little OV pain on my right side so fingers crossed!!

Goodness, it sounds like we're all OVing or getting ready to! My only hope is that this turns into a big group of lovely bump-buddies!! One can hope right?

I had my GYN appt today and the doc was great. I thought I'd have to fight to get any testing done but she was already one step ahead of me! I had a big blood draw today to rule out the antiphospholipid syndrome (sticky blood) and then she put a standing order in for a progesterone level check but she didn't want it this cycle coming off the MC, she wanted it next cycle on day 21. And then she said "If you don't end up pregnant this cycle! You're obviously very fertile!" (she said it in a hopeful/happy/good way) so that eased my mind a bit. We'll see!!!

@lisaloo82- I wish I could say "welcome" to the group, but I wish none of us were here in this group and all had little sticky beans...sorry you're here, but we've got plenty of support to go around. This has been a fantastic place to get it all out there, vent, and to get a little bit of hope back again!

@smythdm- I don't use the CBFM, but I know that it is supposed to monitor LH and estrogen to identify the fertile days...so maybe the OPKs are picking up the LH but your estrogen could not quite be back? It's a thought.
*Edit* sorry Little J! I dunno where I pulled that one from! whoops

Hi Lisa- That's so exciting he'll be home soon, I hope you catch your eggy! I too was on the depo in the past and I have suffered two losses this year. My last depo injection was September of 2010 and my cycles didnt return until about November of 2011. My losses were in January and March. I have used protection for the most part since then, for my own sake emotionally, as well as my bodys, but am ready to continue trying now. Do you think the depo has had any effect on your ability to conceive and carry? After all I've been through I hate the depo, lol. However, I think the break in between will be beneficial for your body and I wish you the best!!!

CBFM i am assuming clear blue fertility monitor? which i dont use anything other than keeping an eye on my EWCM for ov. Iv tried the OPKS but they never work for me....i think you have me confused with someone else who posted thanks for the info tho!

Hi ladies,
I was just catching up on every ones post. I'm a little jealous of all the going on and ovulation. I haven't felt any symptoms of ovulation yet but the sucky part is I can't BD with DH anyway. I've only just stopped bleeding a couple days ago so we couldn't BD then and the nurse told me no intercourse for two weeks before my pap recheck which is just about 2 weeks away so we are staying clear. I just can't wait for that to be over so I can get on with the baby making I am happy that this is forcing me to wait a cycle though.
