Meli, I bought some cranberry juice, but haven't started drinking it yet I feel like it should be all gone by now though, finished the on Monday (she only gave me 3 days). Get the feeling it wasn't enough.

 

[Middysquidge]

Thanks Meli! Have been having a lot more cramping today, I want to test tomorrow but I only will test this early if I see the dip tomorrow and a rise again so 10dpo like last time but am thinking I won't get a dip, no two cycles are ever the same but I hope I do!

Don't think your out yet, your not out till AF gets you! Fx x x x

 

[vegasbaby]

Stef: Hope everything works out with the house. Home inspectors don't feel like they are doing their job unless they find something, so hopefully the foundation is in better shape than he thinks. Hope that UTI goes away too. They are horrible!

Angel: You are so lucky to have snow! I'm hoping we see some while we are home in Memphis, but it is doubtful. No way we will ever get any here in Florida. Glad the tornadoes stayed away from you. Scary stuff.

Jasmine: I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. So far it is sounding good. You are right about the charting. Other than O being pretty obvious the rest is anyone's guess. My BFP month didn't feel or look all that different than some of my BFN months (and I had a lot of those for comparison purposes). Any IB? I never got it, but that seems to be a really positive sign. A BFP would be the best Christmas gift ever.

Meli: How are you?

AFM: Yesterday I went in to fill out all the paperwork for the new job and the people who interviewed me all came to congratulate me and say how excited they were that I would be working with them. That really made me happy. I then ran all over town because they needed me to take a drug test and a physical (at two different places so totally inefficient). I still need to be fingerprinted, but can't do it until we get back from vacation as the lady who does it is on vacation. I'll start sometime at the end of January. I also went in for my weekly blood test yesterday and hope to hear the results today. I'd love for it to be negative already, but I expect it won't quite be there yet.

We are from Memphis too! I graduated high school in Munford, just north of Memphis past millington. Do you know where that is?

Jasmine,



stef,

hoping the cranberry juice works it's magic!!

vegas,

Glad to hear the wheels are in motion, sometimes that stuff takes much longer to even start. You can enjoy your time with your family
and start gearing up to work in about 1 month...I hope this job is a great fit for you. It sounds like your co-workers are nice. That's great because there's noting worse than working with a person/or people you can't stand I'm sure we've all been there!

fx that your blood test finally comes back below 5. keep me posted!

afm, i am 4dpo. i was feeling bloated and gassy yesterday, but I suspect it was due to the food and pina colada i had
at our xmas lunch...

 

[StefNJunk]

vegas, the inspector may have been right about this one. We haven't had the paneling removed from the basement yet, but I brought OH's brother up to the house yesterday. He's looking to become a home inspector himself, so we figured he could tell us if the work that's needed is worth it. Anyway, he and OH found a matching crack on the opposite end of the house on the outside, so we are expecting to see it on the inside, as well, meaning the inspector was right. We'll find out this weekend, hopefully. It doesn't mean this house is out, not at all. If the seller is willing to get the repair done (anchoring the wall, not sure how that works, just know it's expensive) or lower the price of the house so we can save the money to get it done ourselves, we will still be buying this house. We both REALLY hope so, we really love this one.

As for the UTI, I have to go in again today, bleh.

 

[jenkb123]

Stef - I hope that the seller is cooperative!! A new house would be a fantastic way to start the new year. If they don't cooperate then you just have to trust it is because there is a better house out there waiting for you!! Hope the uti is gone and the doctor can confirm it.

Meli - Hope you caught the eggie!! Sounds like you had a yummy xmas lunch!!

Vegas - Fx'ed for a good blood test result!! I am so happy for you with the new job!! Such a great way to start off the new year.

Jasmine - Hope this is your month!!

Afm - I am at cd12. We are trying to follow SMEP this month. Hope it works!! I am not sure when/if I will o (no such thing as a regular cycle for me). Time will tell!

Hope everyone else is doing well!! Only 4 more days until Christmas...scary...I need to get my shopping done!!

 

[Middysquidge]

Hey Vegas, Let us know about the blood test, I really hope it's good news for you! Great news for your new job, that must have been a relief! It sounds like it's going to be a really nice place to work! I didn't have an IB or a drop in temp or anything no clues at all this time! I'm thinking it's a BFN but we'll see, am testing again tomorrow with a FRER! Arggghhh!

Stef, much luck with the house, I really really hope you can get it! I have a good feeling even from here in Yorkshire, I hope it's the one! Boo to uti, big fat boo!

Meli, gas is a good sign, Pina colada even better! Haha!

Jen, good luck with SMEP it's meant to be the perfect thing to do for ladies who have had a miscarriage, it has a really good success rate! Enjoy getting jiggy over christmas!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, I love the Christmas build up, it's so exciting! x x x

 

[vegasbaby]

Hum, I could have sworn I already posted something, but it is not showing up. So here I go again.

Angel: Yes, I now Munford! Haven't been there is years. Do you still have family there?

Stef: Hope the sellers help you out as I know you really want the house. Good luck at the doctor. Hope they can make that UTI go away for good.

Meli: Hope you get your bfp soon. You could have it in time for New Years. Let's all hope 2013 is our lucky year.

Jenk: SMEP should cover all the bases even if your don't track O. We tried it one month, but ran out of steam before O got here. Good luck!

Jasmine: Good luck. I wanted to test like every day, but it go sooo expensive. I bought some internet cheapies, but they arrived the day after I got my bfp. I did use a few to confirm, but have quite a few left. Guess I get to use them now (though I wish I didn't get to).

Got my hcg results and I'm down to 17 (last week was 42). This is still not considered negative, but at least it is going down. I go back in two weeks (they are giving me Christmas off since I'm so low and I will be out of town). Hoping that I will be negative at that time. Last night I couldn't sleep which was common for me the night before I start my period, but nothing has happened. I'm guessing it will take at least another two weeks and I doubt I'll ovulate. Of course I am not allowed to get pregnant so I guess it doesn't matter. Regardless, I am tracking my temps just to see what is going on with my cycle. Well, I need to go and pack.

 

[Middysquidge]

Have a great time hun, sorry to hear you are feeling low. I guess your levels will be back to negative in two weeks! Ready for the New Year.

Oh, I'm such a tight arse when it comes to pregnancy tests, those frers were like the most I have ever spent in my life, £10 for two, I always use internet cheapies! x x x

 

[angel2010]

Vegas, my husband's family lives in Covington still. We go there a couple of times a year. After high school, we lived in Cordova off Germantown Parkway.

 

[StefNJunk]

My body is making me want to pull my hair out.

So I went in for my appointment yesterday (Planned Parenthood). Waited 45 minutes. They then called me back to basically say, "Oops, we forgot you were out here, the NP already left for the day." So, with driving time and sitting in the office, I wasted 2 hours. The assistant said she would talk to the manager about doing something.

Went back in today, got there 15 minutes early. Didn't get called back for 45 minutes. Found out the manager is on vacation... so no talking to her I guess? Couldn't even get a discount on the payment because of that. What a crock!

So I got tested again for the UTI. They said nothing about it, but did test me for BV, since I requested it. I do have that. They apparently don't test for uterine infection, so hopefully that's not part of the problem. She also tried to imply that OH could be cheating on me.

I got my prescriptions from their office. When I got home I noticed neither of the bottles had any directions on them, and they gave me no info packets. Luckily I realized before they closed.

I WILL be contacting the manager after the holidays.

 

[jennc]

I was due June 25th and on Black Friday I started bleeding. I already knew what happened but since the closest hospital did not have a sonogram machine, they told me to go home and rest. When I started bleeding heavier the next day, I went to a different hospital and they confirmed my worst fears. It was my first child. I decided on having the D&C. I haven't had my first period again yet and the doctor told me we had to wait at least two cycles to build the uterine wall back up. I am terrified to try again. Not just for fear of miscarrying again but all the other things that go along with it. I'm afraid that my fear of another miscarriage may lead me to be less happy about being pregnant again. I fear that the excitement just won't be there again. I told everyone when I found out that I was pregnant because the joy was just too much for me to keep to myself. It was very hard to tell everyone what happened but at the same time, everyone has been very supportive. I can't imagine how hard it must be for women who had to suffer in silence. Whether the fear is normal or not, know that you are not alone in it.

Hi Jennc, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss It's not very nice to have to come into this part of the foum but there are a lot of us going through the same thing together here. Where abouts are you based?

I don't know if you have read a lot of the thread but I was due June 3rd with my second child, it was a mmc at 12 weeks (9+3) and had a d&c the next day. I haven't waited to try again and am currently in 2ww. When i first had the d&c I wasn't sure if I even wanted to try again, I didn't know if I could put myself through that again but I soon came round!

I understand what you're saying about it taking the magic away, especially with it being your first it must have been even more of a horrible shock, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sure though when you get your rainbow baby it will be just as special but you'll always have that niggle that probably never goes away but the baby will be all the more special because of your loss.

Big hugs,

Jasmine x x x

 

[jenkb123]

Vegas - Glad to hear the number has dropped. I think by the time you go in for your next test in two weeks it will be 0!! I hope you enjoy your Christmas away with your family!!

Jasmine - I think they know that us ttc women will pay to support our poas habits!! They do make those tests really expensive. I have some ic I got recently. Before they came I spent lots on tests. It seems like an extra insult when you get a bfn on a test you paid $10-20 for!!! But I know when the time comes I will be back in that store paying too much for a test that I can trust more than the ic's.

I really hope you get your bfp!! I have my fx'd for you!!

Stef - That is incredibly frustrating. I would be making a complaint to that manager too!!

jennc - I am so sorry for your loss. I can relate to a lot of what you have said as I am also ttc #1. It hit me really hard when after a year and a half of trying we finally got our first bfp only to have a m/c. Trying again is a scary thought. Especially just after going through a loss. You will know when you are ready again and for some people waiting a bit is a good thing. I think fear is very normal. I think we have all experienced it. Like Jasmine I have decided to try again. I waited for one af after the m/c. It seems all doctors have different advice about how long to wait. I didn't have a d&c though so I think that makes a bit of a difference with the lining.

I am very grateful that I have not had to suffer in silence. Talking to the women on this forum has been very helpful to me. I am glad you found it too (although I wish you would not have had to join us in these circumstances!) Talking to people after this loss I am always surprised how many people have had m/c's. People that I see on a regular basis and talk to but they have never said anything about it before now. It has taken some of the magic out of pregnancy, knowing how common it is, fearing it will happen again. I will have a different experience next pregnancy. But I will also have a much bigger appreciation for my rainbow baby when the time comes!! I will not take it for granted and I hope I will be more conscious of others and what they may be going through.

 

[Meli_H]

Stef,
omg! that was horrendous customer service. they should be ashamed of themselves. i do hope that you follow up with the manager! and the nerve of her to imply that dh was cheating!!

JennC,
sorry...

vegas,
that's great news of your numbers dropping more. I am sure that you will start the new year right and the next time you get your blood drawn, you will be negative !

 

[Meli_H]

Hope everyone else is doing well!! Only 4 more days until Christmas...scary...I need to get my shopping done!!

Jenkb,

when are you testing??

 

[jennc]

Jasmine- I'm sorry about your loss too. Until I met my husband's family, I had never known anyone who had a m/c. I helped my sister in law through one and going through it now, I have no idea how I managed to help because I had no clue what she was going through at the time. My husband doesn't quite understand why I joined this site because so many of his family members have experienced it but it's almost like I feel bad talking about it with them because I don't want to open old wounds for them for the sake of my own healing. I know it will always be with me but that it will get easier with time. I thank God for my pastor. He said a prayer for the strength of my faith even before I knew I had m/c. That seems to have helped. I know it will come in time.

Jenkb123- Thank you for your kind words and welcoming me to the forum. I am truly sorry for your loss as well. I know now how difficult it can be. My doc said we have to wait a couple of cycles before trying again. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but our sex life has definitely taken a hit. Did you experience that as well?

I had a D & C just after thanksgiving. I thought I read somewhere that my menstrual cycle should start back up in 2-4 weeks. Any idea when I should start to worry?

Hi Jennc,

although you may want to wait a couple of cycles before ttc, i tmay help you feel that you are being proactive and doing something in the meantime that you wait to ttc.
You can use OPK's daily starting, maybe day ten or so after your mc started. It may help reassure you that your body is healing and getting right back on track. and you will be more in tune with your body for future baby making!
i got pregnant the first month i ttc, and I mc at ten weeks on Nov 1. I was shocked that I got pg so quickly. After my mc, I started paying attention to my body and using opk's. I think I am more aware of my body than I've ever been.
anyways, just my two cents. It reassured me to know that my body was healing, it may very well help you.

afm, my period started exactly 31 days after my mc, and I used opk's and confirmed that I o'd exactly 15 days later, but everyone is different..

 

[Middysquidge]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I might not be coming on here and posting as often now until I can properly start ttc in February. I just feel that time will go so slow if I come in here as often as I have been and I will drive myself crazy. I need to forget about ttc until February, concentrate on moving house and then when it's time to try again, I can start obsessing again! It's not healthy to be thinking about ttc as much as I have been lately and the arrival of my first af (on Christmas Day) has hit me harder than I thought. I was told by a very reliable psychic (clearly not) that I would conceive in December/January this year, this was a long time ago, so when I originally conceived in September I was worried and I was right to be but I guess I always thought we would catch again in December and since we can't try now in January I have kind of lost my faith a bit. It's a longer story than that really but that's it in a nutshell!

I wanted to wish you all the best on your journeys, there may well be some BFPs on here by then and I'll be routing for and keeping an eye on everyone of you, just not as often! I wanted to thank you all for the support you have offered to me in this thread during the last 6 weeks, each and everyone of you deserves and will have your rainbow baby one day not far from here!

Take care June Angels!

Jasmine x x x
