Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[Munchkin30]

Hi brunette. So sorry for your losses looking back it seems like no 1 was so easy wasn't it?!? We tried for 3 cycles and had a very easy straight forward pregnancy. It seemed hard at the time but in hindsight it was a piece of cake!!

When were your losses? What tests are you having? Seems like you at least don't have a problem getting pregnant in the first place. Are you trying now or waiting for results? Xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

We lost our first at 5+3 on 26th November, second at 4+2 on 27th January and our last loss was at 5+3 on 9th March.

It's been a tough and heartbreaking journey. We sadly lost my husbands Nan last week too. Not sure how much we can take to be honest.

We saw the Gynae Doctor on 21st March and had bloods done 3 days later, they are doing Karyotyping, Blood Clotting, Thyroid etc. Still waiting for those results. They should be back in the next 2-3 weeks. I've had progesterone checked at 8DPO and that was normal.

Hi brunettebimbo, sorry for your losses and sorry you're having a rough time. I hope the tests throw up something you can fix easily so you can get your rainbow.

Hi brunette, nice to see you here. I think I accidentally unsubscribed from a few threads on my phone as not seen you around for a while, how are you doing? This is a lovely thread, lots of nice chatter

Munchkin sorry your cycle is being so confusing. I went thro the same thing after my mc and my af was long like yours too. It's so difficult. I really hope the acupuncture will help you to regulate your cycle but also it's really helped me relax. I was completely obsessed with getting pregnant quickly after my mc (not saying that you are at all) but now although i really want to be pregnant I'm more chilled about my cycles. I'm sure that's the acupuncture. I almost feel a bit numb about it and very calm. Let us know how your session goes!!

We are going to the in laws for Easter. And over my fertile window so I don't know how much bding will get done in all honestly. I hope we don't miss it. Anyway half way there now, on the m4, such a waste of a beautiful day but there we go! We got up at 7am but everything seems to take us an age!!

Have a lovely Easter everyone xxx

Also munchkin I've been thinking alot on your husbands snakes and ladders analogy. It's really good and has honestly helped me a lot with the "not fair" thoughts. There are so many instances I can use it. So anyway I told husband about it and he thought for a minute and then said.... So after all our snakes we should be due some ladders soon right?! Ummm yes!!

It hasn't been an easy start to the year, lost my beloved cat, our pregnancy, my gramp, and found out about my work friend being ip so very ill, hopefully ladders are due soon

Hey ladies, please can I join too?

I have had three early losses since Christmas all around 5 weeks. The last two have been back to back.... It's heartbreaking to get a BFP then for it to be taken away so cruelly a week later. It sucks

It took us a MC and a year of TTC to get our little boy Harvey. This time round I'm conceiving every time we try but am having trouble sustaining a pregnancy.

Brunette - So sorry for you losses. Your situation sounds very similar to mine. I've been referred for testing & had my bloods taken yesterday but don't get the results for another three months! Have decided to have a break this month to give my body a rest & then try again in May x

Hi Kate, sorry for your losses.

Hi new ladies m so sorry for your losses havng so many losses over the festive season must of been aweful

I dont belong in this thread but ive been where you are and after two back to back losses im due my third at last. After two straight forward pregnancies it killed me inside last summer to lose i lost the first on my sons birthday..i dont even remember that day.

So im here to cheer you all on xxxx

 

[Munchkin30]

Hi Kate I'm so very sorry for your losses. It's crazy how our bodies change after a pregnancy. You can't guarantee anything! Sounds like you and brunette are having similar experiences. I don't know if I could do it but in your case I think a break might really help, pregnancy, however short, will be messing with your hormones and uterus and lining etc and maybe your body needs to get back to equilibrium if you've been pregnant every cycle?

Mrs W yes I love the snakes and ladders analogy, and yes we're totally due some ladders now! I think the acupuncture will really help. We had a 2 hr session, the first hour was talking about anything and everything. I didn't know how much she needed to know but we basically went through the story of my life! I learnt a lot about how I only relax by escapism, ie reading, watching telly, driving, coming on here! And how I'm
Always living in the future. She says my problems are definitely mental not physycal which I agree with. She said something about my heart flow, I didn't quite get it! Then we had 45 minutes where she kept checking my pulse and them put needles in my legs and tummy and then give me an amazing neck massage. I felt much more relaxed and happier afterwards, although it could just be the massage! She also said red wine is very good for the blood and she thinks my blood needs nourishing because I don't eat much meat and all the bleeding I've had. So red wine it is

I told her I wanted to feel more relaxed about ttc and not so fixated and if I could get to where you are mrs w I'd be over the moon!!

Hope you manage to get some BDing in over Easter! I'm technically meant to start BDing today for smep but I'm still bleeding so no chance! I think I'll wait until I start at least getting a faint line on the opks. I know thus cycle will be stupid long xx

 

[Munchkin30]

What's everyone up to this Easter weekend? Xx

 

[Button#]

I'm off shopping this afternoon by myself for a bit of retail therapy. Other than that just a relaxing one.

 

[celine]

Munchkn i love ur acupuncturist bring on the wine!

This weekend not much really, we took side wheels off ds bike so will attempt it later today. Im probably gong to drag my bottom out to the park with kids as hbby dong some house diy and since he is not the diy type...the kids are working on his nerves.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Huh!! All the work on blood nourishing my acu has done and he never mentioned red wine!!

I'm at my in laws now, chilling out and hubby and I have a date night tonight!

Welcome katestar, I think I've seen you in various threads before, I'm so sorry for your losses.

Button, retail therapy, bliss! Did you buy anything nice?

 

[Button#]

New bag, shoes, jeans, purse and clothes for OHs birthday (he hates clothes shopping so easy for me to buy him stuff for presents). I spent far too much and I'm very happy about it!

 

[Button#]

Are you going out somewhere nice for your date night mrs w?

 

[Mrs W 11]

Sounds like heaven button! Glad you enjoyed it!

My in laws live in Swansea so we are going out for dinner. There's a nice brasserie type restaurant, really chilled out vibe and you choose your meat/ fish from a central island and then it's cooked and bought to your table which is cool. It will be nice to spend some time together and chat. X

 

[Button#]

That sounds lovely mrs w, hope you have a nice evening.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've conceived twice when I've had red wine around O! Could be coincidence though!

 

[celine]

Mrs w you and dh should totally check yourselves into a hotel for the hour after your date night! Teehee

 

[Munchkin30]

I agree celine and yes red wine is definitely the way forward! At the rate I'm going I'll conceive triplets we got an evening out last night because my sis is up, I drank a bit too much so I've got a day of Easter celebrations with a fuzzy head. Oops. And we dudbt get any BDing in because I'm still bleeding. Joys!!
Happy Easter all!! X
