Cheers to BFPs in 2-0-1-7!

[Sheece]

Fluffy I'm keen as mustard to hear your bfp updates! Happy to hear anything you want to post

And I'll add in the chorus too, I also felt completely normal until about 5 - 6 weeks. In Hindsight the only symptom I really had was that I didn't get the usual sore boobs 2 days after ovulation.

However I don't know how the HCG injections factor into that. It could be that the HCG injections are at a way higher amount that you would have in early pregnancy, hence the full on symptoms. Now you aren't taking them, it could just be normal hcg levels in your system, so your symptoms wouldn't be as severe?

Hoping its that anyway

Alligator - we had a mmc too in July, at 8.5 weeks. Quite similar! Always happy to chat if you want to vent, etc xx

Thank you everyone for the good wishes, makes me feel so much better ^^ I was fully expecting to wake up to AF this morning (I usually get my period over night / in the mornings), but nothing so far. 15dpo today :S AF should show today, if NOT I will test tomorrow morning. Nerve wrecking. I felt such obvious period cramps last night again, I was so sure, but nothing yet this morning... I feel like my body is playing mind games with me!

@Sheece
Yes, the injections give me (roughly) the level of someone 6 weeks pregnant, so it would make sense that symptoms feel less strong now. I'm somewhere between giddy/excited and super nervous/trying not to get my hopes up :S

 

[Alligator]

Sheece, thank you! I am so sorry for your loss. How has your recovery been? Did your cycle return? We found out July 20 our baby had no heartbeat and long (terrible) story boring I had a d&c August 2...so my MMC is crossed over two months, lucky me?! Still waiting to get back to normal but I have had cramps the last 3-4 days (they've felt like period cramps and even ovulation cramps but I never cramp this long or terribly!!!). Hoping I see AF in the next 2 weeks or so. I had next to no bleeding after my d&c and my doc yesterday said I've healed perfectly and no bleeding is a good sign. So hubby and I are not exactly being careful as we resume relations...we'll see! I hope you're well

So sorry for your loss, Alligator. Hope your cycles return to normal soon. How long have you and hubby been trying for, if you don't mind me asking? Completely gorgeous wedding pic by the way!

I'm of course with Sheece and Alligator - definitely want to hear as many BFP updates as possible! (Fluffy and I have a shared journal anyway, but this obvious applies to anyone else!)

Any news Abe??

 

[abennion]

I did take a test, and while it looked BFN when I first took it, the ladies on the forum say otherwise. I was going to retest this morning, but chickened out. Beta is on Monday, so we should know by Tuesday whether or not this cycle worked.

 

[Alligator]

Thank you, Steph1607! That photo is from the top of the Banff gondola...totally the best thing hubby and I did on our wedding day! It was so cold (like almost freezing, it's on the top of a mountain after all!), in early May. I may not look it but I was so cold LOL.

I feel guilty, we've only been trying since May and we got pregnant on our second cycle TTC (and the first we were in Spain on our honeymoon, so it was a bit of a mess and we were more NTNP). We felt so lucky and blessed and I did feel a little guilty falling pregnant so soon. I don't feel that way anymore, as we lost that baby at 8.5 weeks. I am hopeful that I am fertile and we will have that good luck again but trying not to get my hopes up too high, given our loss.

 

[steph1607]

Keeping all crossed Abe.

Oh well, what's a bit of cold if you end up with photos like that! Where did you go in Spain? I used to live there for a bit 😊 Oh definitely don't feel guilty, we are all on very different journeys and nobody can ever predict how things are going to go for them. It's a very good sign that you managed to get pregnant so soon though. I know what you mean about trying not to get your hopes up. I think we all tell ourselves not to, but it is so hard!

 

[Alligator]

So hard, Steph! Impossible not to get your hopes up!

We were in Malaga and Madrid in Spain...it was wonderful, we would go back in a heartbeat!

 

[Sheece]

Alligator - I've gone about 2 months too. Basically baby stopped growing around June 25, found out June 29, had the d & c july 4. I didn't have too much bleeding after either, just the night of.

Then at CD33 I started spotting, and that lasted for 2 weeks (yesterday was the first day I wasn't spotting). Figured it was just spotting but now know that it was probably AF.

So good thing is that it came "on time", or for me early, at 33 days. Bad news is that I missed the window for IUI because I thought it wasn't AF!

And now I'm CD15 suddenly, back on the natural route for this cycle. OH & I weren't careful either Docs told me wait until first AF to try again, but I just waited until I felt healed and comfortable.

Abe - I commented on your journal, but I saw the squinty line on the test too. Fingers crossed for Tuesday!

 

[polkadotpixie]

Hi ladies!

Sorry I posted a couple of times then went awol, I've been trying not to obsess so much!

Abe, your chart looks great! Really hoping this FET has done the trick and you get your BFP on Tuesday!

Fluffy, sorry to hear about the PCOS diagnosis but super exciting about the IUI, can't wait to hear the outcome!

Sheece & Alligator, so sorry to hear about your MC's, so hoping you get your rainbows soon

AFM, I'm 7dpo in my 7th cycle. Temps are looking great but I have very little hope at this stage. I'm fully expecting to require fertility treatment. My CD21 & CD3 bloods came back okay (although Estradiol was quite low on my CD3 bloods) & my husband is having his SA this month & if no luck by October we'll be referred to a specialist

 

[Fluffycookie]

Girls, I just got off the phone with my clinic who said only blood work will tell me for sure, but it should be safe to test today at 16dpo. I went ahead and tested: O.O

[Sheece]

Fluffy!!!!!

Congratulations

So happy for you!! There is no doubting that line, wow!

 

[abennion]

Oh fluffy what great news! Congrats! What a beautiful line!

 

[sarah34]

Yay!!!

 

[Fluffycookie]

thank you everyone :') I can't quite believe it yet, waiting for that blood draw tomorrow but... this could be it!

 

[Alligator]

YAY Fluffy! That is a strong line.... wooo!!!

 

[swedengirl]

Congrats fluffy! So happy for you!

Hopefully you other girls get your BFPs soon!

 

[Sasha92]

Fluffy congratulation! So happy for you!

I thought I'd come back afyer being awol for a while!

How are you all doing?

I'm on CD5 of cycle 2 after the misscarrige and really hoping we catch the egg this month! Hoping for May 2018 babies all round!

 

[Sheece]

Fluffy - how did beta go?

Hey sasha I vote for May 2018 babies too I'm on CD17 of first cycle after d & c. Well what I think is first cycle anyway. Feels weird to temp again after so long!
