Ultra sound in 2 weeks. Had my beta drawn today. I'm just so nervous. My wondfos haven't gotten any darker, but the first responses have. I thought this stress would be gone after I got the bfp lol. (Sorry I know I'm being a whiner)

 

[Arohanui]

Fern - how are you, hun? Did you have the HSG? Thinking of you.

Congrats on the BFP's - wishing you very healthy and happy pregnancy's.

I think I also missed Kath's birth - wishing you well!

DH and I have been BD'ing at least every two days since I stopped spotting after my ERPC. We have no idea when I'll O, or even if I will O, and I'm still waiting for an appointment with my FS to discuss going back on Clomid (which I desperately want to ASAP). But I just remembered I still have the Letrozole that was prescribed for me just before I got my BFP, so I've made a decision that if I don't have an appointment before I get my next AF I'm just going to take it. I have 6 cycles of Letrozole, and an appointment with the assisted conception unit to talk about IVF booked for the beginning of September, but I don't know if we'll be offered IVF now that we've conceived on Clomid. I can't use OPK's because the hormones from the MMC will throw off the results. I feel like we're in a bit of limbo at the moment, which is hugely frustrating, but I guess we're just going to keep on trying.

Arohanui - thanks for the well wishes. Luke arrived safe & sound on July 29th. I've been thinking of you & hope you are doing ok. I would do exactly what you've described & go ahead with the femara if you haven't heard anything by next AF. Have you tried any cheap opks? You might be as to test out the hormones before a peak? Although maybe that's just my inner poas addict speaking. Good luck, I hope you don't have long to wait before your sticky bfp

Fern - thinking of you. Hope the hsg went as well as can be expected.

Nimbec - there can't be much of a tww left for you now can there??

Swimmy trust me when I say that you are not the only one who never stops worrying. We lost 3 babies after 2 healthy pregnancies. I am now 34 weeks pregnant with our 3rd miracle son and I still worry every day. If he goes to long without moving I start talking to him asking him to just please move for me. It is so unfair to think before my miscarriages I never gave these things a second thought but now I worry all the time. It kinda has taken the joy out of my pregnancy compared to my first two healthy full term pregnancies but I try to not worry as much as possible... easier said than done most of the time! I have my fx that everything is good and your lo is getting very comfy in his/her new home. Keep us updated!

 

[mommasboys2]

Congrats Swimmy!

Two BFP's in August, hopefully this means something for the rest of us!

Momma- 4 weeks! That will fly by. Are you ready to meet your bundle of joy? I'm so excited for you! Are they planning to induce you, or c-section? Good luck to you!

alicia- I don't have experience with OPKs but the CBFM always has me start testing on CD10.

AFM- CD 26. AF should be here in a couple of days. The last couple mornings I've really put myself into my workouts to help with the aggression I've been feeling. LOL. I'm much calmer throughout the day if I wear myself out right away. No other exciting news here. Hope everyone is well!

They are planning on inducing me at 38 weeks which is why I only have 4 weeks left instead of 6. They have to monitor little man since I have to be off of my blood thinner for 12 hours prior to delivery. As for now we are planning on an all natural delivery so fx that works. With my other two I had an epidural, but with the blood thinner injects the risks are just to high for me so I will gladly deal with the pain. I am beyond ready to meet our little one it has been 5 1/2 yrs since our first loss and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only 4 more weeks of worrying then he will finally be here.

 

[swimmyj1]

Thanks momma - my hcg was 55 and progesterone only 10 im already on 200mg of progesterone and my doctor won't increase it or do shots. But I'm even more upset at the nurse that called and told me they don't recheck it EVER?!? Because it only seems to make moms more upset, sense there are many factors that can throw it off. Ugh guess I'm waiting for my ultrasound on the 3rd then. It's silly that im also upset that I dont have any morning sickness or breast tenderness.... Fingers crossed this bean stays and grows

 

[nimbec]

Hi all very quick post

Swimmy I take 2x 200mg cyclogest a day in LP could you lie and say you have lost some to get some more or tell them it's not acceptable given your history to refuse giving you anymkre? Doctors can be such twats!!!!!! Congrats and fx all goes well

As for me I'm having the weirdest symptoms...very big boobs, period type pain but only 10dpo and then tonight I gagged and puked in sink when cleaning teeth which hasn't happened since I was preggy! These of course could all be progesterone induced symptoms but I haven't had them the last few months. Bring on crazy me lol!!! Will test tomorrow morning but only have crap tests! Heading for big disappointment again grrrr chances are very slim so goodness only knows how I manage to 'wonder' every month!! Lol

Good luck Mommasboys not long now !

Hope everyone else is ok??

 

[Fern81]

Hi ladies

Nimbec - come ooooooonnnnnn bfp!!! Geez hun it would be awesome if it happened finally. And then of course for Arohanui. And Jules. And all of our other new thread friends as well! One thing that gives me a bit of hope (if not for me then at least for everyone else) is that on most threads that I stalk, the women do end up pregnant one way or another even if it takes a while.
I hope those symptoms mean something!! Keeping everything crossed. x

Swimmy - aaawwww I really hope everything is fine and that you will have a happy and healthy pregnancy . I agree with Nimbec sometimes doctors suck!!! If you are paying for it why oh why can't you have your progesterone levels checked? Doesn't make sense.

Mommasboys - I'm so excited for you! Do you have the nursery & everything ready? Hope you can get the natural birth you want hun!

Arohanui - definitely go for the letrozole lol I also wouldn't wait for the dr if it was me . I do hope that you manage to ovulate and that your cycles start to go back to normal.

Jules - how are you? Hope you are OK hun. Thinking of you.

AFM - Have been feeling so down in the dumps for the past few weeks. DH and I've been at each other's throats to such an extent that I went to my parents for a while. Don't know if it's the stress of the move or WHAT. Things are a little better now though.
So I had the hsg this morning and it wasn't that bad. The dr and nurse were both AWESOME and it was over fast. Everything looks fine so my previous dr made ANOTHER diagnostic mistake by claiming that my left tube was completely occluded.
Went to see the FS after. He says, so OK; hormones, lining, follies and hsg all look fine so we still don't know why I can't fall pregnant. He again suggested IUI but says that it doesn't really address any issues in my case because we have no male factor problems, also no cervix or CM issues so it won't really increase our chances. He says the one thing he would suggest is IVF because everything starts to point toward me having problem eggs or maybe even NO eggs. The IVF procedure will help determine and diagnose problems in that area.

My husband said that he wants to do 1 IUI and 1 IVF so that we don't look back one day and regret not trying everything.

So the plan:
Next cycle a CD 13 u/s and timed intercourse (dr said he won't charge me for the appointment)
IUI sometime this year (I'm still not convinced)
IVF next year or the year after (we will have to save up!).

In the mean time I still have some clomid in my cupboard.... and we will be dtd around O time this cycle again so I guess it counts as trying. So over this.

Have a good weekend all x

 

[alicea]

Sorry if tmi ladies but i have woken up today with a very swollen labia, is this a side effect of the clomid?xx

 

[jules87]

momma that is very exciting that you have just 4 weeks (a little less now!). FX that induction goes the way you want!

Swimmy- I would enjoy the lack of symptoms... I'm sure they are on their way! I hope your Dr pulls their head out of their arse. Try not to stress too much though. Many *hugs* your way!

Nimbec- FX that those are symptoms of good things to come!

Fern I'm sorry you and your hubby weren't getting along. Surely its the stress of all the housework and moving. You two should go on a date night! Get all dressed up and just go do something that will make you two happy.
I just want to give you lots of after the appointment with the FS. I know they think it's great news when all looks great, but at the same time you are sitting there wondering why you are there then. I'm glad you guys have set up a plan for the future. I think it's wonderful that your hubby is so active with decisions in ttc. After we hit the 2 year mark mine pretty much gave up. I'm the only reason we are still seeing a specialist and actively trying. I mean he's up for anything, but he doesn't really help make decisions.
Can I ask, how do you know there aren't any cervical issues? Is that something they actually check for? I haven't actually talked to my doctor about that... so I'm curious if I need to.

AFM- AF is due today or tomorrow. I'm getting the typical low back pain and cramps.
DH and I talked about ttc next month and beyond; we've decided that we can't afford all the things the doctor is "prescribing" and we are going to have to wait. We need to pay down debt at the moment. So maybe at the beginning of 2016. Then our Health Savings account will be replenished as well. I'm annoyed that we have to put it on hold, again! But, I'm also a little relieved. I'm just going to concentrate on getting healthier for now.
DH and I are celebrating 7 years tomorrow!

Have a wonderful weekend all!

 

[jules87]

Sorry if tmi ladies but i have woken up today with a very swollen labia, is this a side effect of the clomid?xx

Alicia- I've been through 2 rounds of Clomid and didn't have that side effect... Where are you at in your cycle?

 

[alicea]

I am on cd8 this is my 1st cycle on clomid. I went to the loo earlier and it had gone bk to normal lol. Xx

 

[nimbec]

Hi ladies very quick message will reply properly later once I have my head in a better place! No suprises here BFN gutted can't believe how cruel my body has been this month. I think this is the end of the road for me trying I just have to be able to move on with my life. Will message and reply to everyone later on. Hugs to you all.

 

[swimmyj1]

hcg did not double only up to 83 my doctor wants to do one more set of hcg's in 2 more days and she increased my progesterone but pretty much told me it was a lost cause and to expect a MC ...... this sucks!

 

[babyjourney89]

Hi guys! I'am new here, Trying to conceive baby 1. This month i didn't track when i'am gona ovulate however i did have the ovulation pain. Anyway, i did use hpt and there is second line which is really faint but can be seen easily. I'am kinda scared that it will go away, though i did use internet cheapies, tested like 4 of them and 1 FRER stick. There's really faint control line but appears like within 1 to 2 minutes.

 

[k4th]

Alicia - glad it's back to normal!!!

Nimbec - x

Fern - I'm pleased that your tests have you the all clear. But gutted you don't have any answers. Does that make sense?? I understand why you don't want the iui, but you never know... And the plan for ivf is a good one. Sorry you & your hubby have been having troubles, but it does sound like he's come up with a reasonable plan for you. I hope you can start to enjoy your lovely new home together

Swimmy - so sorry hun drs aren't always right - I'm still hoping for your bean to be a sticky one

Baby journey - we're you on clomid this month? How long have you been ttc? Hope your lines get darker

 

[babyjourney89]

Hey K4th, This is my first cycle with Clomid, my Obgyn asked me to have 2 rounds of clomid, Even though i ovulate normally.

Looks like a bfp to me hun. Congratulations!

 

[kittykitchn]

It may be different in the U.S, but here the max they prescribe you is 6 months. Apparently it can be quite detrimental to take any more. Does anyone know why exactly? And is there really any harm in taking a couple of extra months? My dosage was halved so I have 4 months spare.
I've just finished my 6th round, and was thinking of taking two more months.

Hopefully someone can shed some light. Thank you xx
