Currently CD 3 and looking for a buddy!

[chelsealynnb]

oh chelsealynnb, I am so sorry to hear that. Did you feel like things were feeling different or was it a huge shock? Either way it is devestating to see the scan and you know it doesnt look right.
Is that not trying but not using protection?

I really hope this is my sticky one, I had some blood work done and my hcg levels look good, much better that the last pregnancies, still not counting my chickens but at least there is hope I am throwing up every morning too so thats a good sign for me, again, the last two I wasnt sick. Still havent contacted my midwife yet though, Im sick of going through the process and having to call to say take me off the books again.

Will keep you updated, if this one works there is hope for us all!

Yes, NTNP means 'not trying not preventing'. Buuuut after I wrote that, I bought some Internet cheapie OPKs lol.

When I was pregnant with this last one, it was different. At first my boobs were real sore, and I was sick with morning sickness. But as time went on, it disappeared. A few days before my ultrasound I even told my friend "I don't even feel pregnant." Maybe it's just me knowing my body, or some kind of intuition, but I went into that ultrasound extremely nervous (with my first two I had no worries at all). As soon as she started the ultrasound, we knew something was very wrong. Poor thing was so small (you could see the head and arm buds) the tech showed us the fetal pole and said even if I had my dates off and the baby was actually 7 1/2 weeks old, she would still be able to see a heartbeat.

And to top things off, my best friend (age 23 - I'm 24) just found out she's pregnant with her FIFTH child!! And she is NOT happy about it! Gah.

I'm CD11 right now so this coming up week will be 100% dedicated to baby dancing!!

I must have O'd hard this month. I didn't see ewcm but definitely wet/ watery and then bam! Two days later my BBs are already slightly sore. The good news is that our BDing was right on time, the bad news is that it probably doesn't matter. I also have a mild yeastie going on, as usual following a round of antibiotics. But anyway, just chillin in my 2ww for a while...

Hi all, I can't believe im writing this email but we have had some very bad news about the baby. We had the 12 week scan and they found that there was a lot of swelling and a large cystic hygroma of 5.6mm along the whole of the baby's back. We then went ahead and had the amnio and the results aren't good. The baby was a little girl but had triplicate chromosones on every pair so instead of having 46 chromosones she has 69. Needless to say there isn't any hope that the baby will survive and it puts my health at risk the longer i stay pregnant.
So i have an app tomorrow to end the pregnancy, the other option is just to wait for the baby to die and that is def not an option.

Obviously this is not the news we wanted, I had high hopes as i have been so sick, and still am, we are def going to take a break from all of this too and just concentrate on the lovely children we do have,

The midwife said she she has never actually seen this*before, having all of them in triplicate. The specialist said there is a 0.5% chance of this happening again so he's not too concerned with us trying again in the future, its just seems like its really bad luck that we have lost so many.

Omg that's awful!! What crappy luck!! (Hugs)

Tryfor1more, I am so sorry. I am praying for strength in this difficult time. A big hug and support I send your way.

Hi everyone! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I haven't posted in a while but was thinking of you all. I am now going into my 12th month of TTC. Had a chemical pregnancy in April and no AF last month. My cycle was 54 days and just got AF this past Sunday. Not sure if that will affect my chances this cycle.

How are you all?

After my HSG I had a huge bleeding cyst rupture/leak that caused a lot of long-lasting pain. I went to the ER because it was so bad and not going away on it's own - now singing to the tune of $5,000 medical debt from it....
My gyno/RE retired suddenly, and I saw my replacement one about the cyst and he wants to do another scan after my next AF.
My HSG cycle AF showed a week early, was unusually heavy *for me*(but not heavy enough to be worrying) and lasted almost 10 days!
When I was supposed to ovulate, OH had a sudden unexpected chest pain episode and he went in the ER and was kept overnight - but at least he has insurance!!! (We only got about $200 in bills from his visit) He is OK now, they ruled out heart attack and just think it was some freak thing, but he has several follow up exams and tests in the upcoming weeks.
That delayed my ovulation, so I'm already on CD34 and only like 7dpo. If I wasn't charting I would be late enough to be freaking lol however it seems like I've had increased appetite the last two days and I'm craving salty stuff - popcorn, potato chips, and fries. Maybe that's good??

Interestingly enough, my sis got pg on a long, delayed ovulation cycle so delayed that she was POAS probably before she even ovulated! Maybe I'll have similar luck?

I'm hoping to have after-HSG increased fertility, especially after that apparent clean-out AF. We only BD'd once in the right time, I think the day before O though, so maybe it'll catch. I also used a Softcup with a drop of Preseed in it afterwards and left it till the next morning. (My sister tried this too, so FX!) Just waiting out the rest of my 2ww now!

This thread has been pretty dead, I was surprised to see it come up in my subscriptions!! I've been over on the LTTTC feeling left behind thread.

Wow oneKnight! You've had a lot going on! Did you test yet?

Nothing too out of the ordinary for me here besides a 52 day cycle last month (didn't ovulate previous month so that delayed everything).

Needless to say, this month has been different too. My Clearblue Fertility Monitor normally shows me as high fertility starting on CD 16 with ovulation typically occurring ln CD 20 or 21. This month it started showing high fetility on CD 10. I am currently on CD 12 and still showing high. I'm hoping my cycle is reglating itself.

Started taking my Vitex tincture again this month and will start natural progesterone cream after ovulation. I had two chemical pregnancies (March and April) and my gyno said low progesterone might be why. Instead of taking prescribed progesterone I opted for purchasing a natural one. This month will mark our one year TTC. We are calm about it and trusting in God's will.

Hugs!
