Late August to September testers - Who's with me?????

[justwaiting]

Patsy - Of course you can join us . I will put you on the list. It's nice to have you with us. Let us know how your going.

9Babiesgone - I can't imagine what you have been thru, I'm a mess after 2. Your an incredible woman. I hope this month is your month to get your sticky baby. Have you had all the testing done? XX

AF finally stopped so I can get started on my BDing as of tonight. My husband doesn't know what he's in for after 4 months of not trying!!!

Vaurissa,
I'm sorry for your loss, hugs to you. It's hell going through a m/c, much less a m/c and a chemical.
I feel the same way about testing late, too much disappointment and I'd rather not know too.

Exactly. I have heard too that the more sick you get the better hold the bean has. I am sure that is just a tale... but... :-D LOL

Where are you guys stationed btw, I was over there in both Baumholder (3 yrs)and Kaiserslautern (3 yrs). As a matter of fact my DD was born in Landstuhl at the military hospital of course. LOL

We are stationed at a NATO base in Geilenkirchen, over near the border of the Netherlands. We're about 3.5 hours away from Kaiserslautern, wish we were closer, that's a nice area! Small world, where are you now? We love it here.

Welcome Coshea Vaurissa, Clause81, 9babiesgone and Jojo.
It's great to have you hear, the more the merrier sharing our TTC journeys.

I agree with the ladies above who said they'd rather wait to test then find out and have a chemical, I agree but I have no will power and always test at about 10dpo (lol)
I have a bag of 10miu tests and 2 frers and another first response waiting in my drawer, for the beginning of next month, but I think I'll have ultrasounds and blood tests with my tracking anyway so may not need them, never hurts to POAS!!!

Oh and by the way my name is Kellie!

Oh I know what you're talking about, when it comes down to it, I always have the strong urge to test. Ugh! Going to try my hardest to resist this month.

Anyone here use Fertility Friend? I do and it says I am 4 dpo today. It confuses me because my temperatures look so low and I ovulated early (which is great, if I actually ovulated!). Sigh. It's only the first real cycle post m/c (well, I had AF last month, immediately after the m/c) so maybe everything is just different now. Anyone experience this? https://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php?d=2011-07-26

Katy i tried fertility friend but I found it made me concentrate on it too much. I prefer the natural approach. but I will say you af will probably be all over the place and maybe never the same again. My periods come on time but they are always different ovulation occurs later than it used to but still happens atleast. I hope someone can help u with your charting

 

[Elhaym]

Hi ladies! Mind if I join you?

I'm CD1 on my first AF after my MMC, and I'm joining a testing thread already

Test date is 11th September for now, I'll update if I ov early/late.

Good luck everyone! xx

Yes, I feel like I'm doing charting to see if everything is working in my body, but it's not really helping, which defeats its purpose. I like your approach, it's much more relaxed than mine, which is ultimately going to help conceive .

25th August for testing for me! for all xx

Hi mrsrof, I was wondering how you were, hope you're OK! I hope this is your cycle.

Welcome to all of you that have joined since the last time I posted - Praying for for us all in August/September!!!

I went to have blood drawn on Wednesday, the second time since my mc - The nurse informed me that last week my hcg levels were already down to 7, so this week they should definitely be below 5. DH & I are so excited, should be expecting AF anyday and then the official countdown to O begins!!

When are you ladies going to test, before you expect your next af or wait until you're "late"?

The first time I feel pregnant was when we were out of the country for our destination wedding, needless to say I wasn't sitting around the house anxiously waiting for each day to pass - We were so blessed to fall preggo immediately the first time, I'm hoping for the same thing this time around!

Happy Friday to you all!!

 

[Elhaym]

I always wait until the day AF is due to test. I'd rather just get AF than see BFNs, and also I am terrified of getting an early BFP and AF arriving. So I'd rather wait until I know the witch is late!

Hope your HCG is down soon TxMom! I didn't get bloods done but used ICs, got a BFN 8 days after my ERPC and ovulated 2 weeks after that so hopefully you're not too far off! x

I have a lot of testing done, the only thing they can tell me is one of my babies I lost had edwards. and the rest most of them werent tested, bc it was so early, and I have progesterone deficiency. but that doesnt seem to matter that much, bc I have tried those.

good luck and baby for all of us!!!!

Good morning ladies!

Well, I am 14DPO today and took another FR and still BFN. However, I decided to take a 2nd look at the FR tests I did days ago and sure enough, 1 of them had a second line so it seems I had a chemical pregnancy this month. I'm definately not pregnant now as there is no line now.

I'm disappointed but in a weird way relieved and surprised all at once. I say relieved because with all the BD that DH and I did I really doubted that the sperm and the egg didn't meet.

At the same time I say relieved because I just got diagnosed with high natural killer cells that interfere with the egg implanting. Knowing how those cells do that (spraying toxins on the embryo) I am relieved that I'm not pregnant any more because I don't want my body to hurt my poor little embryo and for it to have some major health problem because of it.

Luckily I see my specialist on Monday to discuss my test results and I'll mention this chemical pregnancy I just had. I'm sure she's going to recommend aggressive treatment and I am onboard. I have a feeling that the next time I get pregnant after having treatment it is going to stick!

Babydust to all the other testers!!!

Hi Katy, I just started using fertilityfriend myself and it calculates that I am 4 dpo today also. I have had one cycle since my mmc and it was very short, only 22 days. From the looks of things ovulation occured very early this month also and so I suspect another short cycle. My cycles tended to be on the shorter side pre-miscarriage, anywhere from 24 - 28 days, but never this short. Still, rather shorter than longer I guess.

Has anybody noticed any pain during sex? Or is everything all back to normal? Things just feel a bit tender at times, kinda like bruising. I'm sure I'm over-worrying but I've been feeling mildly crampy for a few weeks now and I wonder if there's a connection.

 

[patiently]

Lovely ladies i just wanted to ask if any of you were doing anything different this time round...i have had 2 mc and am contemplating taking baby asprin...without medical advise..not sure if its such a good idea..i just dont want to have another mc...my dr's wont do any blood tests either...GL to us all!! let the b'd and O begin so we can roll on to our BFP's!!!

 

[9babiesgone]

I am taking clomid this round to make my eggies better quality, and I am taking folic acid, and a fertibella, I am trying it. also cramp bark in case I do get pregnant to help keep it.

Hi Patsy,
Yeah, it does seem like my cycle has really changed since the m/c. Hopefully it is back to slightly shorter cycles, averaging 28 days instead of 30/31. More chances to make a baby, I guess .

I did notice pain during sex for awhile after the m/c, probably for the two weeks after it, I felt like really tender. It's been a month and half now, and I feel perfectly fine.

Patiently,
I'm sorry for your two losses, hugs.

I'm not really doing anything differently, just trying my hardest to be healthy and distract myself (other than my b&b time) . Just eating well, getting good exercise and taking it easy on the caffeine, avoiding alcohol/cat litter...

I have heard of baby aspirin use, but I don't use it myself.

What is cramp bark? Where do you find it?

I'm sorry for your loss.
Your attitude is so positive, that is wonderful! I'm sure that as soon as the doctor's got you on treatment for the high natural killer cells, you'll have a healthy pregnancy..
