{CLOSED GROUP} Journey to BFP and Beyond!

Ohmygosh zay! Glad you are OK that would have been a terrifying experience!

I did read a lot of good things about rainbow light recently too, but they also use synthetic folic acid unfortunately. There aren't many that use folate, and I'm only going to switch vitamins for one that has folate rather than folic acid.

Okay what is the difference between these?
 
Oh no Zay! I'm sorry, I'm so glad you are ok though, sorry I you're going through all this extra stress at once!

Thanks Natalie, it's too bad because I really love their prenatals, i will have to look into synthetic folic acid a bit more.

Terissa-:happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance: I am sooooo happy for you, you have been through A Lot with you mc and aftercare, please keep us posted!
 
T- folic acid is man made and not absorbed the same by the body. Folate is what is naturally found in veggies, etc. I also take the rainbow one prenatal that Jamie takes (plus the DHA). I just try to load up on veggies that I know contain lots of folate when I can.
So happy for a faint bfp. Keep us updated.

Zay- I hate that for you. It's just one thing after another. Big hugs. Hope things settle down for you soon.

Afm- another bfn this morning. I'm so frustrated and upset because I am still convinced. AF due today sometime so we will see. My boobs just keep hurting more and more, which is the exact opposite of what my body does before I get my period. My worry now is that if I do end up with a positive test in the next couple days... I will worry that the pregnancy won't be viable or that something is wrong because I am sure of O date. I hate this so much. I joked with DH that I feel like jumping off the roof today. Snowed (or should I say iced) in for two days again this week, so nothing to do but sit around and and wonder. On the bright side, I did get a lot of work done from home yesterday.

I can't tell you a lot but what I can tell you is the obvious which is folate is a natural source of full like acid where as most prenatals contain full like acid that is synthetically derived obviously natural is always better but for me I just love their pre-needle so much that I will honestly probably stick with them, their food-based vegan they don't have any extra additives you can take them on an empty stomach and so much more...I guess for me the positives of rainbow light prenatal's outweigh that one negative but it's still worth looking into
 
Haha sorry I use talk to type a lot so things are misspelled often ha ha I meant folic acid not full like acid lol
 
Here are a couple of links about the difference

And if you have the MTHFR gene mutation (which up to 40% of the population is suspected to have) its actually essential to avoid folic acid as it cannot be used at all and builds up a toxin.

Terrissa that is so exciting!! Please keep us posted!

Zay and Kylee - sorry about the BFNs :( Hang in there! And Zay I'm so glad you are ok, what a scary experience! Schedule a massage for this weekend, you deserve it!

Ugh I am having a terrible day, committed a huge error at work (I am an attorney, and I basically sent a document to opposing counsel with another attorney's comment still in it, and it made us look really bad). So now my supervisor is pissed and I am super embarrassed and stressed, and I'm supposed to ovulate on Thursday! I can't deal with work stress on top of TTC stress!! :nope: I know that TTC has really been distracting me at work but I'm starting to realize how bad it actually is, and if this goes on it will not be a good situation. Argh! Thanks for listening to my venting...
 
Coucou-oh no! I'm sorry that happened! That would be really embarrassing, just remember it was a mistake, no matter how much they might be unhappy with you, it was still a mistake, you're a human being, we all make them! I really hope you can try to destress a little!
 
Terrissa, CONGRATS!!! Your feelings about this month were right :wohoo::wohoo::wohoo: How are you feeling?

Natalie, I’m always impressed by how much research you do and how much you seem to know about the best supplements etc. I also wish I could go more natural but I just have to take whatever’s available here and hope they’re ok.

zaycain, you’ve really been going through the mill lately. I’m glad you and DH weren’t hurt but it must have been so scary! Hope things will be better for you from now on.

Kylee, any updates? It’s so annoying when our body “misbehaves” like that. My boobs used to hurt before AF but not since the miscarriage, so I’ve stopped relying on symptoms. Some women don’t get a BFP till past 16 DPO so I don’t think it’s a sign that the pregnancy wouldn’t be viable.

Leigh, oops, sorry to hear about what happened at work. We all make mistakes but I understand how embarrassed you must be feeling :hugs: I hope it blows over quickly with your supervisor etc.
 
Leigh- oh no! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Like Jamie said, it was just a mistake. I know you feel awful, but it will (hopefully) blow over soon.

No news from me. 15dpo. Still bfn. Still no AF. At this point I am done being in limbo and just want to know one way or another. Getting another round of snow again today and stuck working from home once again. I love snow.... but talk about *groan* right now. I think being home has me crazy. At one point I was nearly convinced that my tests were negative because of the hook effect and that I managed to somehow still be pregnant from January. Because my boobs are so sore it isn't even funny and that didn't happen until 6 weeks or more last time. I would be around 10 weeks. But then I remembered that I worked up to a positive opk a few weeks ago, which isn't possible if I'm pregnant. And I never had any ms. Being house-bound has me losing my mind. HELP! Lol
 
Ugh Kylee that's so frustrating! I hope maybe baby just implanted late and your bfp is coming! :)

Thanks fleur! Feeling fine right now. Took a frer this morning and got a very clear :bfp: trying to relax and enjoy it. Any news for you?!
 
Aww Kylie, there must be so many things going through your mind right now :hugs: Wait another couple of days and test again?

Terrissa, congrats on the clear BFP, I'm so excited for you! You've been through so much lately, this has to work out! When are you due, beginning of November?

I’m officially in denial mode for some more time. I still have no symptoms but I’ve decided not to get blood tests done because they won’t necessarily tell if I’m having a missed miscarriage again. I haven’t taken another pregnancy test or checked my temps because I’m scared of what I’ll see. I might ask for a scan at 6.5 or 7 weeks, if I get that far, and in the meantime I’m just going to ignore it all. :ignore:
 
Fleur that's so smart and I'm going to try to do the same! If it so happens that I do lose this baby for whatever reason, checking my temp every day won't change the outcome, it would probably just let me find out sooner. But I'm trying to relax and just enjoy it one day at a time. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I know right now there is life forming inside me and I will be excited about that! :)
 
Yaya congrats Terrissa and Fleur! So happy for you both!!! Please keep us posted on everything. I totally think you guys are doing the right thing just embracing it and not worrying, that is the way to go. Try not to think about it too much except to feel happy :)

Kylee that is so frustrating!! I hope it's just a late BFP. Good luck and hope you can relax as well soon.

Thanks everyone for the cheering up on my work blunder, ugh. I am feeling better today but still haven't really spoken to my supervisor much (he works in a different office). I'm planning to just forge ahead with the other work I have for him, and then also tell him I need to step back from his case because I am so busy with other work. I think that will be good for me, our works styles just do not mesh.

Also, positive opk today!! So that is great news, I am excited for the TWW this time. Imagine O will be tomorrow, and then I will start the progesterone on Saturday night.
 
Yay I'm so glad there was a silver lining for you today Leigh!

So for you ladies that temp, let me first tell you I don't know a lot about it at all, but today just out of curiosity I decided to temp, just an fyi I am normally around 97.8, I am 3dpo and my temp today was 99.8! This is not normal for me and I'm not sick, does this mean anything? Or is it way too early?
 
I'm also not a temping expert, but from what I've been reading I think it's if your temperature stays elevated like that for more than two weeks (up until when AF is due) then it would be a sign that you're pregnant. Of course, you'd probably get a positive test by then anyway. :) Hope this is your month! Keep us posted on your symptoms!
 
Terrissa, I’m adopting the same attitude, taking things day by day. Today I presume I’m pregnant, tomorrow is another day. When are you going to see a doctor?

Leigh, glad you’re feeling better today. Hope your talk with your supervisor goes well. Yay for the positive OPK, everything crossed for you!

Jamie, I’m no expert either but temp spikes/dips can happen. As Terrissa said, your temps have to stay elevated (above your coverline) at least till AF. You’d have to temp the whole month to be able to see the difference between the pre-O and post-O temps though. Do you have a link to your chart? We could have a look if you want. Hoping this high temp is a good sign for you!

I’ll probably take a pregnancy test next week, and maybe blood tests in 10 days if I still don’t have any symptoms. DH talks to the embryo and tells him to start acting up because I want nausea and sore boobs and all the rest!
 
How far do you think you are? AF isn't due for me until Saturday or Sunday. If ask goes well I probably will see my doctor around 7 weeks.

Woke up today feeling a bit crampy which really had me worried. :/ breasts still sore so I'm looking at that as a good sign. Ugh, I wish I didn't have these UPS and downs. Every time I get a little twitch or something I don't want to jump to "oh no am I losing the baby?!? . I did not expect getting pregnant again would be this stressful!
 
Thanks Terissa and Fleur! I know to really know anything I should have a basis but I do know typically my temp Is below average, today it's still up! What is your cover line? I don't have a chart but if I don't get my bfp this month I'll probably start charting. Fleur-maybe it'd help if you googled how ever many weeks pregnant you are and no symptoms, I know it's helped me to stay positive this cycle, I'm only 4dpo but I'm always reading these crazy early symptoms women have and it helps to read about other women who don't experience symptoms until much later if at all! I know my good friend didn't find out until she was already 2months (she still had a normal period and though she skipped one it wasn't uncommon for her) her only sign she had that prompted her to take a test was she got query while eating an egg and she said the only time she ever got sick eating eggs was when she was pregnant!
