Does anyone know when I'll turn into a "BnB Addict"? Lol I was just noticing some girl on another thread who had 2 thousand something posts and was an addict, so I must be close?! Haha jw.

Nope, but im curious too! Maybe 2500?

 

[morganwhite7]

I just searched through my Bump thread and saw a girl w/ 2,600 who was an addict too, so I think you're right.. And close to it!

Aww Aaron saw your kitty on IG last night and was like OMG so cute! Who are they?! I was like yes haha she is the one who sent me the "Aden and Anus" swaddler. It's a hilarious joke now in our household.. when he called me from work he was like "Ummm it's a package from Amanda? It's an awesome swaddler, Aden & Anus (Anais ) I think?" LOL he is an idiot. But your kitty is so cute.. We looked for hours online for one but they're all $1000+ for Persian/Himalayans. We decided we'll wait til Marley's older and get one for her birthday or something lol.. how cute would that be. OH and your juice is impressive too!

I wouldn't over think this cycle too much. You could be off for a month or two post MC. I know that your fertility is also potentially really high post-MC, but your O date could be waaay weird.

hmmmmff - wrong answer babe, lol.... augh. I need to be pregnant. I can't go to denver and try for 9 months. It's so fucking hard to see everyone who had the same due date as me progressing. It literally makes me want to kill myself.

 

[morganwhite7]

Ouchie mofo Softcup is right. Sounds fertile.. by chance already O on those days without OPK's on your chart? Jw. Keep POAS.. FX'd it comes soon. Boobies usually won't hurt until after O, due to the progesterone surge after eggie pops

 

[VivianJean]

Had a full-on meltdown the other day - screaming deranged panic heart palpitations and then sat in the bath under the shower trying to figure out how long i could hold my breath underwater. I'm not kidding when I say this is hard. It's like watching someone else perform your life- oh wow, you're 11 weeks now.. oh snap so am I... oh wait no im not because I fucking lost my baby.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Amelia please don't say that dear. Hugs sent your way.
And I am going to sneak into Dh appointment tomorrow I think and talk to the Dr.

Sorry. There are just days that I really don't think I'm going to make it through.

I have 14 days until my housemate gets back into town and I'm not alone all evening. It's why I'm trying to focus on losing an almost unreasonable amount of weight. If I'm totally fixated on losing 10lbs and exercising and measuring all my food, then I'm not going to be fixated on opks and missing another chance to get pregnant... one focusing on my dreadful 2-0 pregnancy record.

Amelia, many of us in these 2 boards have experienced miscarriage and can relate to how horrible it feels to watch others go on with their pregnancies that were pregnant as the same time as you. But you will get another chance. If you look at the stats for this board, each of us that experienced a miscarriage got pregnant again within 3-4 months of our miscarriage, with the exception of waves who got pregnant first cycle after. So while it's a shitty feeling and it feels like it's never going to happen right now, it will. Most doctors tell you to not even try for 2-3 cycles after a miscarriage, even though we don't listen. Your body just needs time to heal

 

[NDTaber9211]

Amelia- I don't know what it's like to lose a baby so I don't know the pain but it hurts me to see you say things like you literally want to kill yourself. I hope the move to Colorado is just the thing you need and you get your rainbow baby

I forgot to do my opk today but I do have a buttload (or should I say vagload ) of ewcm. I am going to bd today when dh gets up just in case. My ob/gyn is pretty much shoving me towards an infertility specialist now. Won't really address my questions or anything. I don't think she will be willing to switch me to fermera after clomid. I am going to ask anyways and see what happens.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Get her to show her stats, maybe you can see how Mirolee got on it.

 

[frsttimemama]

Amelia, I get how you're feeling. To say it sucks doesn't even touch it. I get that. Ask for help.. talk to a professional. Let someone help you. Don't do things that will harm yourself please. Losing too much weight can affect ovulation.. just something to consider. So sorry you're having to go through this.

 

[frsttimemama]

Id find a new one, Nichole!

 

[VivianJean]

Nicole - take that vagload (you made me snort hot coffee up my nose) and walk to a new doc that let's you explore your options.

I'm sorry my honesty is grating. I'll tone it down. It just feels very very futile right now. Realized I told my mentor I was pregnant before Christmas and she sent me this beautiful email about new life. Made me want to punch through glass. Just sent her and "update" email and now we both feel like assholes.

Oh I know losing weight will affect ovulation if i lose too much... but I'm a good 10 lbs away from that even at my goal weight (although what I'm losing is only going to move me firmly into the "healthy" category and away from the "overweight" where I'm teetering right now... I'm only barely 5ft2... 10lbs makes a massive difference) - but if i dont drop this weight that I stacked on over the 7 weeks I was preggo it'll affect my thyroid and it'll make it worse for when I get pregnant again... like affect the baby bad.

nichole, fwiw - i was already going to an RE (but that shouldnt really matter).
i had an appt mid-cycle of clomid #6. he said, "if it doesnt work now, it's not gonna work. stats are against you. it doesnt mean you cant keep taking it, but it does mean i have to tell you your chances of getting pregnant drop significantly. i think you should do something more aggressive". i said to him, "we are not prepared to do something more aggressive until X (for us it was March 204). If it doesnt matter if i contine to take clomid, i will do that. in fact, i know that femara and clomid have the same effect on ovulation but different physiological effects in our bodies, so if clomid doesnt matter, then i want to swithc to femara". He said, "stats are still against you; femara and clomid do the same thing". I said "if it's the difference between me having a 40-50 day cycle and a normal length cycle, even if my chances of getting pregnant do not increase, i will take a normal cycle". So he gave it to me. I would use all the ammo you have - you are well informed about the difference between clomid and femara; you realize that the stats are against you at this point (said in snide-y dr tone with quotes); you know she wants you to pursue something more aggressive, but you dont want to yet; all you want is a change in prescription. And you should get it if there are no contra-indications.
(sorry for the long response, but i feel very strongly about advocating for our own health. it's my body. i swear, i would live on femara.).

I very much appreciate this, thank you.

Do you think I should do my last round of clomid or try to switch to fermera now?
