Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

I called and spoke to nurse who called the doc on-call. She said its too early for an US, so they ordered bloodwork and progesterone levels. Hubby and I are gonna drive out now. They said call in the morning for results AND to see how my dr. wants to handle everything from here.

I know you ladies are right about worrying about what the doc has to say. Hubby says same thing, but I still worry about an 'I told you so' feeling he may have. I'm sure he'd never actually say it, but...

Either way, I finally joined my DH's insurance plan this month, so we'll have PPO then anyway. I'm thinking of switching to Northwestern's Women Hospital on the 1st. I'm with a good doc and network now, but Northwestern is the best. At least I'll have initial numbers, I guess.

Well, we better get outta here if we're gonna drive up north to Evanston now. Talk to y'all soon.

I have you in my thoughts and prayers!
 
Will be thinking about you. Keep us posted and I am so glad you called.
 
So, still no sign of AF... been majorly sick and blegh feeling, but that's just the flu/illness I have.
I'm not sure what to make of this cycle... I've been so up and down and unsure/sure about whether or not this is going anywhere.
Me and DH are both kind of freaked out and worried and just generally concerned with why things are going as they are. Last time we got pregnant, we were NTNP for only 1 real cycle. It's kind of heart breaking that we're looking at our 3rd cycle after the ectopic pregnancy and still nothing... It baffles me that we could catch so quickly the first time and not have the same thing happen this time... I dunno, I know we've only just started trying and there are many women who try much longer... but it's just so confusing after our previous luck, (or bad luck, however you look at it). :shrug:

Anyway, sorry for complaining. :blush:

menb - good on you for calling the Dr, if he gives you hell then he obviously wasn't the doctor for you.
 
colta - i know! what the heck is going on? we got pregnant really fast too and now after the loss, nothing. i am just as confused. hoping you get your bfp this cycle. have you tested?

berdc - congrats on seeing baby and hearing the heartbeat today. that is so awesome!

menb - good luck on your numbers. don't worry, the dr isn't gonna be upset with you. they are there to help.

television - you are you doing? haven't heard from you in awhile.

Hi! I'm on my first cycle but not sure if I should wait one more to ttc again. Any positive stories to share? Should I give it a go this month... it's been 7 weeks since my D&C.
 
So sorry for your loss. Lots of positive stories here. We had one bfp the first cycle and 2 in the second. So far everyone is doing well. That being said only you will know when you are ready to try again. I had my d&c in sept. this was my second cycle ttc and I got my bfp 7dpo. Numbers are shooting up. So trying to remain calm. That's not really working out for me. But I have been pregnant for 16 days and I really hope this is my sticky bean.
 
Yeah where is television???

And Menb... How did it go at the dr?
 
Could this day get any worse? Still feeling yucky and now spotting red too :(
 
Doc office was uneventful. Just had blood drawn. Said results will be ready tonight, but doctor will need to read them and then let me know. In the past, I had my blood on thursday nights and my doc would call by 2pm the next day. I'm assuming he will give me a call tomorrow.

At this point, I'm feeling a little better about what he will say. In the back of my mind, I still worry about failure and the possibility that failure would be my fault for going for it now. But, I'm okay with it. I've decided to switch doc offices anyway with the insurance change. My current doc is uber convenient for me when I'm at work, but switching to Northwestern is a win-win. It's 'close' to work and 'close' to home. Well, as close as stuff can be in Chicago. :)

I'm out for the count. Hubby is like, seriously it's not even 7:30 yet. I'm like, dude do you know I've been wanting to go to sleep since about 6!! :haha: :sleep:
 
Welcome RS,
Sorry we had to meet on such yucky terms.

So, I'mma be completely honest with you about the wait or not to wait...If I would have had the will-power and the nerves to wait, I would have. There will always be the wonder if I wouldn't have had the 2nd MC if I'd waited for my lining to thicken more. Who knows, but...?

You have to do what's best for you, your body and your family. I'm a teacher, so we were trying to plan around the school year. I love my job and my kids and really wanted to not have to take too much time off from the beginning of the school year, so we tried right away. (My first MC was in September at 8 weeks and my 2nd MC was the first week of Nov at 5weeks). If this little one sticks, it looks like our plans of not missing school are out. This little one is due first week of September 2012, so... I'm also 35 and will be 36 in the summer, so age was also a factor for us. We want two and we are just starting now.

There are lots and lots of success stories of couples trying right away and having healthy babies, so you certainly have a chance. Either way, good luck to ya...we're here for you no matter what! :hugs:
