Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

My face is also so ugly and broken out since I stopped taking bcp last APRIL- so right after my d&c I went to the dermotologist and got meds. They're not good to take, while pregnant but I figure I'll stop when AF finally comes. I was just tired of feeling bad about my appearance.


You're 14 dpo now?!? How long is your LP usually? Are you already "late"?? You should get an accurate answer now?? No, I understand not wanting to see a BFN. Good luck! And sorry to hear about the pup. That's always hard.

AFM- my results came back and confirmed a chromosomal abnormality. No more wondering and no more tests for me for now. It's nice to get an answer.

I broke out for MONTHS after stopping the pill as well. It SUCKED. I felt like a 14 year old again. It finally calmed down a month or two ago. I still get little pimples around AF (like now), but nothing embarrassing. I'm 13 dpo today, 14 tomorrow. My luteal phase has been 12 and has been 16 before, so I really don't know what to expect. Plus, I've heard that clomid can make the LP longer. Although, 14 dpo should give me a pretty accurate reading. I'm so afraid of bfns!!!

So, what do you do with the info about the chromosomal abnormality? What does that mean?

Happy Belated Birthday Rosa!!! Sorry I'm missed it. Sounds like you had fun.

MsJ glad you're back in the game!

Soleil and others fx for us all!

Ok, I'll stop hounding you.


There's different types of abnormalities- a couple of different kinds would have meant DH and I would have to have karyotyping done and referral to a geneticist. The type that this one was - trisomy 16- is one of the most common causes of mc and suggests that it was just a random occurrence. So for now we are all assuming that we've just had bad luck 2 times. Hopefully no more! I just keep thinking- ok I'm "only" 30...will be 31 next month. Are my eggs bad already?!? There's tons of woman who are older who have healthy pregnancies. Ugh. I still have a lot of questions myself. I posted a thread under TTCAL hoping for some insight! The doctor gave us the go ahead to try again- now I just need the witch to hurry the hell up!!

 

[Regalpeas]

That's the spirit keep trying!

I'm glad you're feeling better. I agree it is sad because you officially know it's over for that babe, but it gives you something to look forward to which you haven't had for a little while. What are these thyroid antibodies you speak of? Are you taking thyroid medication? I don't know much about thyroid issues and ttc, but I have heard it can cause problems. I also slacked on the vitamins, but am finally back in the swing. My face is also so ugly and broken out since I stopped taking bcp last APRIL- so right after my d&c I went to the dermotologist and got meds. They're not good to take, while pregnant but I figure I'll stop when AF finally comes. I was just tired of feeling bad about my appearance.

I have antibodies to my thyroid - its an auto-immune thing. At this stage my thyroid is still functioning fine but it means that potentially in the future it could fail and I could end up with hypothyroidism cause my own body has attacked my thyroid (thanks for these genes Mum - I really appreciate them!). So I am not on any thyroid meds at this stage but I am now taking selenium as it can help to decrease the antibodies which is good from a TTC point of view but also probably good for my long term health as well. Most doctors won't give me any thyroid meds as my thyroid is still functioning and so they just monitor it.

Don't you just love the myth that pimples are a teenage problem?? Hang on a sec I finished being a teenager about 11 years ago so why do I still have zits???

 

[mrsmax]

Rosa - that sounds really exciting - esp as first month using Clomid. Really, really good luck. If you get your BFP it will give us all some hope...

 

[mrsmax]

Dumb computer - I just deleted my post! Soleil - really good luck this month,. This is my second month using pre-seed and I too have high hopes for it!! Dont worry about missing the O day - the day before seems just as important. Bbay dust for the weekend

Soleil Breeze, I loved reading your last post. I totally relate, we all do - that's why I love our little 30's TTC #1 thread.

I tested today. of course, I'm only 10 DPO. So unlike me to test when just last month I was adamant about just staying away and waiting for to come. I have a big language test to study for and getting my lesson plans ready to start my own classes soon. I guess I just wanted to know so that I can get it out of my head. Of course the exact opposite happened - now all I can think about is how wonderful it would be to be pregnant and how nice a Thanksgiving baby would be! One good thing that came from it is I'm not at all disappointed about the BFN.

Reasons why I think March would be a wonderful month to be knocked-up (I have to let it out somewhere):

• A Thanksgiving Baby! Gives me an excuse to really celebrate Thanksgiving even though I'm in another country.
• It wouldn't be so cold when I finally deliver.
• I don't have to worry about slipping on ice while really pregnant.
• Good weather during my 1st trimester.
• For some reason, I'm really looking forward to showing my belly during the summer.
• Cooler weather during the fall when I'm about to pop!

I'll likely not get preggers this month, but still ... a late Nov baby would be so nice!

 

[mrsmax]

Crumbs - that is so cute!! I love your list of reasons to be preggers now - I really hope you get what you want.

I always wanted a spring baby, now I dont give a damn!

HA! Your at the end made me LOL for real! I'll test on Thursday unless AF comes, or I highly suspect her arrival. So, the abnormality was of the mc, not of YOU, right? Just a fluke thing? I hope you get AF soon so you can start again!!

Rosa - that sounds really exciting - esp as first month using Clomid. Really, really good luck. If you get your BFP it will give us all some hope...

Thank you! I still don't have much hope, although I'm 14 dpo today with no cramps, so that's good news. It all depends on tomorrow...think good thoughts for me!

Crumbs, I love your list! Those are all the reasons I want a November baby, too! I used to want an April baby for maternity leave reasons, but now I just want a baby! I won't even mind if it's born on Christmas day!! I think it's funny that you want a Thanksgiving baby when you're not American!! Where do you live? (btw, Thanksgiving is like the best holiday ever! I love it!)

 

[Crumbs]

rosababy, I'm Fxing for you It would be so cool if the luck of the Irish truly worked for you (us ) this month! I've had a little shamrock pin beside the computer, a souvenir I got from Malahide Castle a few years ago. Hoping for some luck my way as well!

Last Thanksgiving I managed to cook for a party of 9 all by my lonesome! It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself (it's the most I've ever cooked in my life) and as much as I love it, it's really tiring and would love to have another excuse to continue it.

I honestly wanted a September baby, but right now November sounds so much better

 

[rosababy]

You're American! Why do you live in Sweden? Just for funsies? Cool. I've never been to Sweden. So you know all about Tday. My mom and brother have late November birthdays, and it's fun to combine with Thanksgiving.

I hope I get my lucky Irish baby! My brother just had a baby and named him Seamus. VERY Irish!

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Crumbs! Great list! November would be a great time to have a baby! I'm getting less and less picky about months though! My first due date was in February and at the time I thought- well that's no fun. Winter birthday parties? Ugh. Now I'm thinking "Winter Birthday Parties!!!! YAY!!!" Ice skating! Snow ice cream! Hot chocolate!! Haha! I'm pretty flexible! I know we all are!


And I love cooking big meals for family. I cooked Christmas dinner for 12 and it was so fun!

 

[Crumbs]

Yep, I'm Armenian. I'm used to snow but the cold is really tough on me. We've had the coldest (record-breaking) winter recently and I just can't wait for it to be Spring already! It's a really pretty place to visit in the summer time, so much nature, but the winters ... I'm so over it!

hopefulmama2b, wow I'm impressed! Cooking for 12 is quite a feat!

 

[SMFirst]

hi all

I've been having issues with this site for a few days - it keeps jumping back to the homepage so I can never post!!

Rosa - So sorry to hear about your friend's dog The loss of a pet is so hard (we had a scare with our cat on the weekend and since we treat him like our child we were so upset!)

crumbs - that's cool you live in Sweden (wordly experience) - I like your November baby list too !

But like everyone said, I have no preference for when I have a baby now...

hopeful - glad you got some answers..

MsJmouse - best of luck these coming weeks for TTC!
