hormone crash after ERPC

[Blu10]

Awwww lol, have you ovulated now fit? Hope this is your month! Im annoyed at how a loss makes you react, have just put tampons and towels in my bag for work just in case arghhhhh. My cousins wife announced that shes due october yesterday and i cant imagine getting to 3 months.
Right enough moaning - its friday, hope everyone has nice wknd plans? Im worried about hopie, hope shes ok xx

Yep I did ovulate so that is something to be thankful for. Got +opk Monday and after I plugged my temp into my chart this morning I got crosshairs showing that I o'd on Tuesday. We've dtd all week so I feel good that we did everything we possibly could.

I think I know what caused the past infertility issues but the only way to prove it will be if I get pregnant again.

I really believe everything will be okay for you Blu - the odds of having a healthy pregnancy are in your favor, especially since you already have a healthy son. One of the doctors told me after the m/c that getting pregnant in the first place is the biggest hurdle because you have a 0% chance of giving birth to a healthy baby if you can't get pregnant in the first place - from there your chances are very good. I know it's hard to believe after loss though.

Also, I don't see anything wrong with you packing tampons and towels - it's not as though it will cause something to happen. Not the same, but I sleep with the stuffed monkey DH bought our baby every night because it brings me comfort, and I stopped sleeping with stuffed animals when I was a little child!

 

[Blu10]

Thanks fit. I feel more chilled now. Oh the monkey sounds sweet, i so hope this is your month too. Were so lucky to have this lil support network xx

 

[bernie86]

Im a little worried about Hopie too! Hope you ladies have a nice weekend!!!

 

[Blu10]

Hey my girlies, just to update i tested again just for fun and my two lines are now bright pink, i think i actually believe it now! I am pregnant eeeeek!!!! X

 

[jaspie]

Yay!!!! Awesome!! Hundreds of hugs and congrats to you Blu!! And is that excitement i detect?! sounds like a strong pregnancy to me xx

 

[Blu10]

Haha thanx Jaspie. I don't feel excited as such but also don't feel anxious or doomed. I'm happy to take each day as it comes right now and be grateful. I'm going to tell DH this weekend as it seems our little seed is sticking x

 

[hopie2015]

Friends! Sorry it has been so long. Very rough week. Thank you so much Blu and Bernie- sweet you were thinking of me. Oh my gosh Blu-- CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wanted to write last weekend but didn't get to and say that with this new job you are going for-- maybe after efforts this past month you already are pregnant---and now sure enough you are. Wow! I had a really really good feeling for you it was going to happen this month.
Congratulations!!!! Glad you are feeling more confident now after this latest test. So incredibly happy for you.
Bernie- how are you feeling? Are you about 8-9 weeks now? Hope you are doing great! Thank you so much for the prayers. Saying prayers for you each day for a smooth and easy pregnancy. I have such a good feeling for you.
Jaspie- how is your fiance feeling? Is he in physical therapy? That will help tons but a slow road, I know. Saying prayers he is feeling much better soon. Congratulations on starting new job.. it sounds great.
Fit- how are you? I wanted to write the other week after reading your post-- that is so great what your hubby said about pregnancy may not be this month, or next, but he has a good feeling it will be in the next 6 months. I have such a good feeling for that too for you in the next several months for sure. How is your FIL doing?

Very rough road for my mom. She has had kidney failure and is on dialysis. This was a complication I never thought about. If it weren't for this, she would be recovering nicely now, I think. So we are hoping and praying so hard her kidneys come back. She had perfect kidneys before the surgery..this was some sort of allergic reaction to the medication/antibiotic, so we are hoping function fully recovers in a few weeks. I was staying at the hospital 12 hours a day and on Thursday completely crashed. Had headache so bad I could not see straight and I never get headaches! So have learned the hard way to take better self care. Will take time off later today and get back to apartment with fiance to get my stuff at apartment in the city.. It has been one month since I've been there.

Your good news helped cheer me up. I have such good feelings for all 4 of you on this board, baby dreams are happening! As for me, I am not even sure anymore what sex is. Hahaha.

Appreciate your thoughts and prayers..Prayers have gotten my mom this far, and I am grateful.
I will be better with checking on this week. Take care everyone and congrats again BLU!!!!!!!!!

 

[jaspie]

Hopie! So great to hear from you glad you are okay. I'm sorry your mum has more complications. Fingers crossed once the treatment works in a couple of weeks her kidneys will be fine again. I will continue to pray for you and for her. I'm glad you're looking after yourself better now too
OH is recovering but slowly, he is having physio yes and they're pleased with his progress. He has good and bad days but overall he is improving slowly. We're planning on going on holiday in a few weeks time so that will be lovely.

Yay for telling DH Blu so glad you're doing it this weekend! Let us know his reaction!

 

[Blu10]

Thanks Hopie, Im still in shock but hopeful that things may just work out somehow. Its so great to hear from you though, I was getting pretty concerned. Im sorry to hear that your mum is still poorly, you are both in my thoughts!
I thought id buy another FRER and do it with DH so that he sees the pink line before I do haha 😉 tesco were all out of FRERs last night and were at a Christening all day today so Ill get one tomorrow. Things are still ok for now, felt a little tired and nauseous yesterday x

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Hopie, so glad to hear from you. Sorry about your mom's kidneys and hope they get better and she's off dialysis soon. Hope your dad is doing better too. Glad you're going home even if it's not for long. Remember to take care of yourself too.

Blu that is a neat way to surprise your DH. I look forward to hearing about his reaction.

Hopie, thanks for asking about my FIL. Sadly he took a sudden turn for the worse and passed away late Friday night. I still can't wrap my head around it, he was fine at Xmas and looking forward to meeting his new grandchild! Even if our baby had lived they would not have gotten to meet...

Thanks as always for all your support ladies, both with my TTC anxiety and my FIL.

 

[jaspie]

So sorry to hear about your FIL fit, my thoughts and prayers are with him and all of you

 

[Blu10]

Oh fit, im really sorry about your FIL hunni, big hugs to you and DH xxx

 

[bernie86]

hopie- Im so glad to hear from you, I was praying for everything to be ok! Sorry about her kidney's but Im sure she will recover!
Fit- Im terribly sorry about your FIL. I hope you can find comfort in his peace and that he is now healed in heaven.
Blu- Im so glad you are finally believing that you are really Preggo and that you get to share with DH now!get ready to join the nausea club!
Jaspie- glad to hear DF is doing well with his recovery.

AFM-
This weekend was a little tough but good at the same time... Saturday marked a year since my Dad passed. So my Brothers, SIL, DH and I went out to eat at his fav spot and went bowling... seemed to make it a little easier.
These pregnancy symptoms are definitely staying in full force! which I find comforting and reassuring, but this kid doesn't seem to like anything I eat! And Ive been exhausted of course and trying to keep my cool at work, but everyone there is on my last nerve for some reason, and yet no reason at all. I wish for the time being I had a separate office to myself where I didn't have to talk to someone else unless they needed me to do something. Im also realizing that me being preggo is not really much of a secret anymore, because of the no drinking and probably the face I make while eating... but people are being polite and not asking this time around.

 

[Blu10]

Aww Bernie, hope there were some lovely memories of your dad over the weekend. I feel so lucky for every day I have with my parents, theyve been the best mum & dad and we have so many wonderful memories.
Im glad to hear you still feel very pregnant lol, that lil bean is definitely sticking around!
Ive let DH in on the secret with a clearblue digi lol. Ive had some waves of nausea/ extreme hunger the last few days and feel pretty knackered which totally reminds me of how i was with DS, i have a good feeling this time. Cant wait for more BFPs from our girlies x

 

[hopie2015]

Oh Fit, I am so very sorry to hear about your dear father-in-law. So sorry.
So fast and sudden, I am sure you can't yet wrap your head around it, and thinking back to Christmas time- so difficult. How is your husband doing? Please know many prayers are being said for you and your family and many thoughts being sent out to you.

Bernie- that is so nice you guys went to your dad's favorite places this weekend. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad- I know you said how ill he was but I did not realize he passed away just last year. Your strength amazes me and inspires me.
Thank you so very much for your powerful prayers...Greatly appreciate it.

Jaspie- glad fiance is doing physio. I bet by next week he will be feeling a lot better and stronger. I know the surgery is much different, but I had a back injury a few years ago-- whoa--the pain (couldn't move at all for 2 weeks) Truly believe physio is what got me better faster than expected.

Blu- so awesome you told DH and it is feeling more real now, huh?

Will write more this week. Fit- please keep us posted when you have time on how you are doing. We are all thinking about you. Take extra good care of yourself.
xo

 

[Blu10]

Its very real now Hopie, i even have tender (.)(.) and tiredness lolllll. Trying not to overthink but feel positive.
Hows mum?x

 

[hopie2015]

That is soo exciting Blu!! I am so happy for you.
Thanks for asking -- My mom is doing better, thank God. We're sitting here in hospital..she keeps telling me stories of my childhood. Not sure if i said this on here but she had kidney failure- most likely a reaction to the medication or antibiotic used after the surgery. Her kidneys were perfect before, so we are praying they come back. Very long road but I am so happy and grateful she is talking and she can take a walk up the hallway now! I would do anything to have my mom longer..just anything.

How are you feeling today?!
How is everyone doing?
Thinking of you Fit..

 

[jaspie]

So glad to hear your mum is getting better Hopie! It sounds like she's come on leaps and bounds! Hope her kidneys come back asap.

Af started today for me yay! I had a 12 day lp which is almost back to pre mc as it was 13 days then so my body is very nearly reset I'd say. Yay!! Looking unlikely we'll be able to try this month but that's ok I'm feeling fine with waiting and am hitting the gym hard and focusing on getting myself fit again and it feels great! Going to book our late deal next week so we'll be going away the week after next eeeek! Still not sure where....either Sharm El-Sheikh, Canaries, Greek Islands or Cyprus wherever we are in the mood for on the day! Think Egypt might be a bit hot for us though it's 38 degrees there atm! OH is next to me now buying his swimming shorts online haha!

 

[bernie86]

Hopie- so glad to hear that shes doing a little better.... enjoy the convos. thats special!!!! Continued prayers that she will get to go home so that you both can get the rest you need!
Jaspie- any of those trips sound amazing!!!
Blu- Im glad you are starting to feel those symptoms! they really do help to keep you calm as time passes!

I've had a couple better days with the nausea which is nice, but I really need to make it through week 9 with out stressing and having to see the Dr. because Im worried, so I'd like to continue feeling like poo til at least my 10 week appt. pretty much next week needs to just go quickly!! ( last MMC happened at 9 weeks found at 10) It sucks knowing that I'll never get to just enjoy pregnancy with the excitement and innocence that I did last time
