Back again! Looking for friends!

[wishin4bump21]

Hello ladies!

After waiting two months I'm finally back TTC. My body is not behaving though which is incredibly frustrating.

I had an ectopic pregnancy back in November, had a endoscopic salpingectomy (my tube wasn't removed, just cut and the pregnancy removed), and was told to heal Dec thru Jan. I could start trying in February.

I impatiently waited, had a normal period in January, and I'm now on Day 55 of my cycle :-/ I've taken a pregnancy test and it's a BFN.

My doctor has prescribed medication to jump start my period and I'm hoping that this time it will take. Due to me traveling for work I'll start taking them next Wednesday in order to be back in my home town to ensure I'm ovulating (I have PCOs so there are more hoops I have to jump through)

I am looking for some friends who are trying also and want someone to hear their gripes, be a shoulder to cry on, or speak to for support, I log on constantly. I hope to hear from you lovely ladies soon!

Hi Ladies,
I'm fairly new here.... my husband and I are now TTC again. we lost our beautiful 7 year old girl in 2014 to cancer. so many emotions. but we feel ready to grow our family again. this is month 4 of trying I am trying not to get too excited. am currently half way through TWW. sorry if this is not the right place to post.

 

[wishin4bump21]

I'm so sorry for your loss Hun. I'm here if you ever need to talk. You're right , there are so many emotions as you go through this process, especially when you've suffered a loss. We're stronger together, don't ever forget that.

 

[lesondemavie]

I'll join in. We're still struggling a bit emotionally with our MMC from earlier this month. Waiting for AF to return and then if we're ready back to ttc or at least ntnp. We were so looking forward to becoming parents for the first time this September.

Romans - I'm so very sorry to read about your little girl

Wishin - hope those meds are just the jump start you need!

Hi all I'm in too I'm 4 weeks past D&C body is starting to recover, I feel for all of you ladies with the pain of loss I'm always online if any of you need to chat, this site has been great for me, so many women world wide helping and supporting each other my love to you all on our journey xxx

 

[lesondemavie]

Lost I so agree! I check the site daily and am also always here. Are you also waiting for AF to return?

 

[lostmom]

Hi lesondemavie

I had my D&C on 27/1 for a MMC, I'm spotting for the last few days so I think its a really light AF.. I checked my HCG level 10 days after D&C and it was a BFN so my levels would have been under 25, I think I'm kinda text book normal but I've been reading articles that women not getting AF for 10 weeks or more and that their HGC levels dropping really slowly. so physically back to normal emotionally very raw, this would've been my partners first child and I really feel for him, we are also back at TTC/Ntnp!! hope to get back on track for March, how are you feeling? any signs of AF yet?? keep me posted I'm on here too daily

 

[lesondemavie]

BFN this am and my temp is up in post-O range. Could just be pg hormones still since I didn't temp until now, but hoping from the BFN that it's not. If I'm right, should get AF by next Friday which would put me right back on track with my usual cycle. Fingers crossed.

 

[lostmom]

Hi Ladies hope you are all well


lesondemavie I wanted to TTC again just after my D&C and before AF but it wasn't the case for me AF is here for sure not too heavy but here!! well at least now I know I should be back on track for March!! I never did the temp thing ever just used CM/O pains to guess, I only used OPK for the first time this month never got a positive so I guess our bodies can be a puzzle at times, maybe our hormones will settle down, have to say hate seeing a BFN I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you sometimes women do get PG before their first AF after a MC... have a feeling March might be lucky for me I'm off on holidays and I'll be celebrating my birthday so I should be super relaxed and have a full two weeks of BD lol!!

Hope to chat again soon xxx

 

[lesondemavie]

Oh we're preventing for now until my next AF. The BFN was more so I knew that the higher bbt wasn't due to pg hormones still circling around my system. I'm happy to see the BFN. It means that my system is getting back to normal and that there's hope for the near future. I'm also experiencing a huge spike in anxiety which always happens at 3 DPO for me like clockwork. All signs are pointing to AF arriving by late next week. I did opks and bbt and everything looked good, but it still took us 6 cycles to get our first BFP. Hoping this next one happens sooner. I really want to be pg again by July for sooo many reasons.

Hope you have a fantastic birthday !!!

 

[wishin4bump21]

Hello ladies! I'm so sorry I haven't posted! I've been traveling for work all week and it's thrown me off my regular schedule where I'd check in daily. I can't wait to get home tonight, see the hubster, and then login and talk with you all! I look forward to reading your encouragements, your stories, and being a friend for everyone. Talk with you all soon!

 

[Jojojojo76]

Hi ladies. Can I join this thread please? Am TTC after two miscarriages. Just waiting for AF after second miscarriage then we'll be trying again!

 

[lesondemavie]

Hi jo, I'm in the same boat. I never thought I'd say this, but hoping for AF by end of next week.

 

[Jojojojo76]

Hi jo, I'm in the same boat. I never thought I'd say this, but hoping for AF by end of next week.

Hope AF comes soon for you! I've got a couple more weeks wait I think. As I've had two pregnancies and miscarriages close to each other I've only had two AF since last July which feels a bit wierd.

 

[wishin4bump21]

Hello ladies!

I hope we're all having an epic Saturday! I'm currently taking medication to get my AF going as it has been 58 ish days since the first day of my last cycle and I'm getting so antsy.

I'm hoping that we all get our AF soon so that we can start trying again. It is very frustrating and I'm glad that we're all here supporting one another. Like I mentioned earlier I was traveling for work and working 12+ hour days so I wasn't able to log in until today. I look forward to speaking with you all more and learning more about one another and supporting each other!

The hubster and I have been married for 5 years and we've got 3 fur babies so we're excited to get our family started.

 

[lesondemavie]

Hey wishin, hope you get some time to relax after all that work! We also have three furbabies. They're a band of quirky rescue cats and we love them to pieces. Hoping for 2 kids here, but really just need to focus on the first for now.

So sorry to hear about the long cycle. My brother's wife is having trouble with long cycles and annovulation since coming off of bcp, and I think it really has her down. Not sure if she does forums, but I keep thinking about inviting her to join in on here so she can get some support and see she's not alone.

 

[jinxii]

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you, PCOS and all. We lost our daughter at 19 weeks, which was just over 8 weeks ago. I got prescribed my progesterone to start my periods again as well as Femara so just have to go and get it filled. I keep wondering if I really want to do this again since I didn't immediately go out and fill it like I did the other times. We tried for fifteen years to get our baby girl and were so ecstatic. As we all know, going from so happy to so sad is just the hardest thing. Our nursery is half done and it seems we're in limbo right now. I know I am going to move forward with it, but it's really freaking me out. I hope everything works out well for all of us!!

 

[gym_bunny]

Hi ladies... wondering if I can join you although I'm not able to start TTC just yet? We lost our daughter at 29 weeks, unexplained, almost 5 weeks ago now. I'm waiting for my first AF, who knows when she'll get here but I've never been so anxious to get my period before so that I know my body is getting back to normal. HPT showed negative this week so one step closer. My temps have been all over the place obviously because of hormones but temping helps me to feel like I'm doing *something* since we can't TTC yet.

We don't have any living children yet, Celeste was our first. We do have 3 furbabies (2 pups and a cat) that keep us busy.

Jinxii - First off I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know what you mean about feeling in limbo; I'm not able to go into our nursery yet (all furniture is in there but crib isn't assembled and no artwork had been hung yet) bc it represents what we don't have, so we just keep the door closed - basically all baby items have been put in there. I am terrified also but counseling is really helping with both grief and anxiety, although I'm sure it will be majorly ramped up when I am able to hopefully get pregnant with our rainbow.

 

[lesondemavie]

Hugs all around jinx and gym . My heart goes out to both of you . All losses are hard but there's a unique sort of grief and ache when it is your first, when you've been trying for so long, or when the loss is so late. We're all on different journies, but hoping for the same outcome. A healthy baby in our arms to love, and hold, and teach, and nurture. Sorry if this seems sappy. I'm coming up on a month since the ultrasound showed my MMC and feeling particularly gushy. Hoping the moodiness is just a good sign that my new cycle is about to start. Hope the witch gets us all soon, and we're back on the ttc train (if we're ready) with hearts once again full of hope!
