First time moms - TTC after a loss

[aPharmD]

Good luck HCas!!!

Hope you get your BFP, HCas!!



AFM- I'm either 10 or 12DPO today. I agreed with FF assessment of when I ovulated until I started spotting. I think that I'm 12DPO, so AF is probably right around the corner. On the upside, we've got an appointment on Thursday to meet with the OB/GYN here and get our recurrent m/c testing on track again. So hopefully we won't have to wait too long to figure out what's going on.

 

[HCas]

Welp got a BFN but tomorrow I'm calling an RE to schedule an appointment. They'll do ll the testing and everything to see if there is anything else preventing us from getting pregnant and tell us what to do next.

Kinda disappointing but oh well

 

[aPharmD]

Good luck HCas!! How many dpo are you?

 

[HCas]

I'm 15 dpo now. Still no sign of AF but that's not new. Monday I go to the RE to start looking at infertility

I'm actually really scared.

 

[aPharmD]

Well that sure stinks! Howeverrrr... At least maybe that doctor can help though! It's always good to have answers.

Try not to worry about it. This of it as a way to get answers. I've been going to the doc about infertility for almost a year now. My clinic helped me get pregnant after a 2 year period of nothing after my first loss. I credit them with helping to jump start my fertility again. Now we're going in for RMC help, so I'm hoping it will lead to our first take home baby.

If you have any questions about the whole process, I'd be happy to answer them, if you think it will ease any of your fears.

Thanks guys

DBZ I wouldn't know where to start! I'm worried about asking the wrong questions or not remembering to say certain things.... I also over research so I'm terrified that they'll go "Welp can't do anything but use the big needle and pull those eggies out." I realize I am doing this to myself but I have really worked myself up. Never thought I'd be at this point at only 22 ya know.

 

[aPharmD]

HCas, maybe try writing down some of your questions before you go in and that way you can make sure not to forget anything. I did that for my post d&c appt and I'm glad I did. Have you tried any fertility meds yet? There's a lot of things to try before ivf so don't lose hope or get yourself too worked up! And I research everrrrrything! It's not a bad thing to be informed!

Sorry for your complications HCas!! I will be praying for you and I hope the Docs figure it out for you. Don't give up honey like aPharmD said. FX'd for a good outcome love

 

[HCas]

Thanks guys ^^

Happy Halloween!

Hey ladies, any of you had to take cytotec to help pass the remaining product? I had some extreme bleeding and was rushed to the ER last night. They said they still saw something leftover. My hcg is down to 300, so I know it mostly worked itself out so I really didn't want the d and c like they suggested. My obgyn agreed the medicine might be best. I took 400 mg vaginally about two hours ago. Nothing happening yet. I pushed it as far as I could...is it possible it's not in far enough or does it just take a while?

Hi all...I'm going to join you if you don't mind. I'm scheduled for a d and c on Monday. Blighted ovum. This is my second misscarriage, my first was in March of this year at 10 weeks. It's been a rough road, but I just want to have a baby so bad I can't wait to start trying again.

Hubby and I are struggling with why this keeps happening and it's so hard to stay optomistic about the future. I'm going the d and c route as my misscarriage at 10 weeks was natural and the most painful and horrific thing I have ever been through. I know that this would be physically easier because I was only measuring 5+4, but emotionally I need to start moving on.

I am so sorry to hear about all of your losses and I hope that we can all move to through the journey of having our first lo together.

 

[HCas]

@tcinks Sorry I can't help there. I hope everything worked out. If it didn't however I would call your doctor. They might be able to shine some light on it.

@Stacy Welcome to our little family and sorry about your losses. I hope everything goes smoothly and you can start trying again quickly.

Hello, think I might join too - I wanted to find some ladies who are TTC #1 like me...I think TTC when you don't already have children is a different experience.

A little about me - I'm turning 34 next week and celebrating 5 years with DH in two weeks. We starting TTC in Feb this year and I got pregnant on the first try, but m/c just a week later, so I was 5 wks. We tried unsuccessfully for another 5 months.

I had my CD3 blood work done and found out that my FSH was 15 (which is bad). After I got that test result I started doing acupuncture & Chinese herbs. On the advice of my acupuncturist, we stopped trying for 2 months while she worked on getting my cycles healthy. We just tried again in Oct but BFN...CD1 is today.

Surprisingly this is the first month that I haven't cried on CD1...probably because we are going to Napa in a week where I will be enjoying plenty of wine! I was sort of stressing out that if I did get my BFP right before Napa that I'd be worried about m/c early again the whole time we are in Napa (plus of course I wouldn't be drinking, which kind of defeats the point of going!).

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. Hopefully we will all get our take-home babies soon. 2014 has not been a good year for me and I'm just hoping that next year will bring some better luck.

 

[MJsBabyShaw]

Stacy, just wanted to say sorry about your miscarriages - wishing you a speedy recovery after your D&C on Monday. Sounds like 2014 has not been good to you either...looking forward to 2015. As my DH told me "Just wait - 2015 will be good." I sure hope he's right!

 

[Stacyb782]

Thanks MJ...2014 has been rough. Moved to Texas from Michigan for hubby's new job in August, grandma died in August as well. Hubby and I have been married just over a year, so I know this isn't what either of us thought we would be going through. All my years growing up I thought having a baby would be so easy. Just dtd with hubby and that's it.

Sorry for my ramble. I'm so sorry for your loss too!! Hoping 2015 is better for both of us!!

 

[HCas]

Hi there MJ welcome to the group. Sorry about your losses. Hope you have fun in Napa though! Sounds fun.

 

[aPharmD]

welcome! I know I'm going to try really hard not to cry if af comes again this month. I'm currently in my 2ww at 4 dpo. I hate this wait more than anything!!

welcome! I know I'm going to try really hard not to cry if af comes again this month. I'm currently in my 2ww at 4 dpo. I hate this wait more than anything!!

I get really crazy during the TWW...very emotional and I am always symptoms spotting, riding the roller coaster of "I just know I'm pregnant - this is my month!" to " ughhhh...this is NEVER going to work!" I despise the TWW.
