I want a Christmas BFP...anyone else?

[Topanga053]

Johnson- oh no! I'm so sorry. That's really awful to have to deal with that on Christmas Day. I'm glad you're focusing on being positive again, but I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that over the holidays. Hopefully you can tell her that you're pregnant this month! ;-)

Cozmos- Sorry. It was my 3rd cycle too. We got pregnant in the 2nd cycle with our first BFP, so I think I really thought it would happen that quickly again. Trying to remind myself that each BFN/AF just means that we're all one month closer to our BFPs!!!

So sorry for you ladies that the got you! Now you can try for a January baby!

Mackjess- how did your appt go? Did you get to hear the hb?

AFM- I'm super tired all the time and am having on and off nausea. One minute I'll feel great and start to think oh no why do I feel so good, then the next the nausea comes back! They are predicting a big snow storm here tomorrow, and I am hoping we will still be able to go to my parents house for a game night tomorrow night with friends to bring in the new year!

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Happy new year ladies. This is our year, I can feel it! Thanks for all the support, I'd be lost without you. Here's to new beginnings and 2013 bfps xxx

Happy new year, let's hope this year will be it for all of us!

Happy new year! How is everyone doing? Any updates from tww ladies?

I'm 6 dpo and have had a lot of creamy cm the past 2 days. Also some cramping. Too early for me to have any "real" symptoms though I think.

I'm currently cd10. I'm using charting and first response digital opks to help determine ovulation. Apparently, they determine individual lh levels. I'm curious to see how they match up with my chart. Based on symptoms,I believe I will ovulate Friday...but definitely will by Monday based on previous cycles. Pretty much just wishing the next 18 days to go by quickly. Here's hoping this is my month!

Well im ready to ttc and will start this month!! I found out from the doctor after doing bloodwork that i tested positive for this thing called cardiolipin IGA antibodies, which causes unnecessary clotting as i understand...still waiting to see the blood specialist (hematologist) and will find out if i need to take any special precautions for ttc again...i have heard ppl who take low dose aspirin when pregnant to prevent clotting...the doc said miscarriage can be a factor for ppl who have this antibody....so maybe thats why i miscarried in october....

Hello! Last time i was pregnant, i did continue to have creamy cm instead if becoming drier...as well as mild cramping...i remember it being like af was going to show early...this was just days after ovulating!!!! Exciting....FX'd for you!!!

 

[bluebird]

Happy new year everyone!!! AF got me today, damn it! Oh well, new year and new cycle. Good luck to everyone in 2013

 

[Topanga053]

Sorry bluebird! But what a great attitude!

Afm, 15 dpo. No AF, but BFN this morning. I'm expecting AF tonight or tomorrow. My stomach/cervix area feels really weird. I've gotten weird twinges and pulls in the TWW since my MC. Does anyone else get this? I don't know if it's actually from the MC or just my imagination!

DH and I went to the mall today so I could buy a Pandora bracelet. I bought a baby carriage charm to remind me of the baby that we lost and the babies that we will still have! I'm so excited! I play with it in my fingers and think of my angel. I love it!!

 

[Lbrum]

Hey babydoodle, I knew somebody who had that. I think it can be called sticky blood. She'd had 12 miscarriages and once she found out she took one aspirin a day and carried her next baby to term. I think it's really easy to sort!
And Topanga, my partner bought me an angel charm for my pandora bracelet for Christmas to remember the baby we lost. I cried so much but i absolutely love it!

 

[babydoodle]

WHOA!! 12 miscarriages! God bless her...thank God she found out about the 'sticky blood' its scary to think i have something wrong with my blood...that seems to be a good 'term' to use to describe it though....its so sweet to receive something to remember your little angel!!

 

[cozmos]

oh my god 12!!!!!!!!! thats madness......youd of thought she would have been tested sooner?

 

[JohnsonGirl]

12- that's so scarey- brill she had a baby eventually.
Babydoodle- I have a clotting problem and had to inject with heparin everyday. Unfortunately I had a mmc- who knows if it was the blood issue or another cause. In my next pregnancy I will inject and take aspirin daily.
AFM- DH is going away for 10 days now and I haven't ovulated yet I think I'm out already!! Looks like I may have another long cycle, hmmmm!!

 

[Lbrum]

I don't know how she managed it tbh, I don't think I could go through it. The stupid thing was they kept asking for tests but the doctors kept shrugging it off and in the end it was something so simple

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Does anyone feel more aware of their body after mc? I think I'm gonna ovulate (opk getting darker) and I have such cramps in my right lower abdomen. I never noticed these changes before.....or maybe I just didn't know my body as well as I do now? It's new though.....and odd!!

Um...Im TOTALLY with you on this!!! Ii swear I could feel something happening in my right ovary over the weekend when i was supposed to ovulate...its probably true...a lot of women can 'feel' changes in their bodies if they make themselves aware enough...

hey...i saw that you said you have a clotting problem too, mine was also a mmc...i am wondering what is your clotting disorder called? All i know so far is that the antibody that came back positive for me was called cardiolipin AB (IGA)....im just really impatient to know if im going to need aspirin and i havent been to the hematologist yet (waiting for the referral)...im a little annoyed that my OBGYN couldnt help me on his own!!!

Yeah I agree!!

 

[JohnsonGirl]

My clotting issue is hormone dependant. The docs are a but unsure on it but I had multiple blood clots in my lungs a few years ago and they think its related to high oestrogen. They told me at the time that I would have to take heparin if I got pregnant because it was very likely I would form clots again. To be honest I was more worried about myself getting sick than having a mc- that sounds selfish but I was in ICU on oxygen for a long time when my lungs were bad. Anyway- that wasn't very helpful, sorry babydoodle! I'm going to ask more questions this next time- and take the aspirin as well as inject heparin.

Morning ladies! Where is everyone in their cycles??

I'm on CD33 and no sign of AF yet. My post-miscarriage cycles have all been exactly 31 days, so I was expecting AF to show up two days ago. I haven't even had a tiny spot. I think my cycle was irregular pre-miscarriage (I just never charted, so I don't know for sure), so maybe my body is just reverting back to its old irregular cycles?

I took an HPT two days ago and it was BFN again, so I don't think I'm preggo and I don't have any pregnancy symptoms. I hope it resolves itself one way or the other soon! If I'm not pregnant, I want AF to start so we can start a new cycle!!
