Late July/ Early August Testers!!!

[Dandi]

Same here. I have an old friend due on my would be due date and so many ppl have posted their pregnancy news since my mc. It's hard to see.

 

[bushj09]

AF due July 28th... hoping for a positive result early August :-D

 

[Angel_blues]

May I join? We aren't trying anymore, can't handle the stress and disappointment I should be Oing this week, we've just been bding every other day and af is due the 26ish... Feeling ewcm but negative opk... Not sure what to think!

 

[mummy2o]

I feel the same. Someone announced their pregnancy since I had a miscarriage and its only been just over a week! I also had a dream two people announced they were pregnant on facebook. Even my dreams are taunting me! On the plus side I've stopped bleeding so we're going back to our usual plan. Have sex daily, although the times we hardly have sex works best for us.

Oh everything 😔 I really feel for you. That must be so hard. I am dreading the same news myself. I have 2 friends currently ttc and they only started since they found out about my second MC. You can guarantee that they will both fall before I do. I dread the day where I will have to fake smile. I just wish I never said anything now as they have just jumped on the bandwagon and had no intentions of ttc.
It's great that your DH is so supportive, mine is too. It's a great help especially on days were frustration kicks in. How long has it been since your loss? I'm on cycle 4 since we Lost our second angel, but only month 3 of ttc. So it's not been that long at all, but some days it feels like forever

 

[Trying4first1]

Sorry ladies, just seen the other replies!
Dandi that's awful. That must be so hard for you at times. Life really is awful. I have a friend who was only 4 weeks behind me, but it's weird I'm happy for her as she tried for 8 years and needed IVF. It's the people who go 'oops' we had an accident or copy what I'm doing that annoy me.
Welcome bush! 😀 defiinatley feel free to join!
Angel- know that feeling or so well. Me and DH are just going to do every other day when I get some fertile mucus. Cd12 and no sign yet ..........
Mummy2o- definatley the worst time for people to announce, it can't be helped but it helps you feel just that little bit worse. My friend gave birth just 2 days after my D and C so I had no time to get my head around what happened. I love her and her little man though but at the time it was so hard to deal with and support her as I was trying to support myself through my own grief.

 

[Angel_blues]

Reading your posts, I'm SO happy I don't have Facebook! I couldn't imagine my emotions if I were to constantly read announcements... I feel for you ladies, hang in there!

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hello ladies!

Its my first month ttc after a loss in April. I can relate completely with all of you. There are 4 newborns between close family and friends and they are just lovely and am happy for their families but my sisters just commented WOW What a baby boom this year...etc....etc... and I just want to kill them right now...completely forgeting about my loss...my sweet angel that is in heaven....
Sorry i needed to vent....
And I dont use FB either...this was in Whatsapp....feel like blocking them and call them bitches!

Trying4first1 my first loss was in march (that one was a chemical) and then last cycle I lost another one at 6+5 (thought it was only 5+6 but for some reason was compelled to do the math again but it was 2 days after we first saw the heartbeat so I guess the doctor was right we were almost 7 weeks).

I just got a +OPK today (CD 17 witch is normal I usually get a +OPK CD17-19) so I made DH stay awake long enough to BD before he wen't to bed for an early morning shift I'm really hoping that this cycle will work since I would rather skip using femara if I can but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I had a dream last night that I had already given birth to a little boy and I was breastfeeding and I swear I woke up to a very sore left breast (the one I had been using to breastfeed). The dream made me really sad though when I woke up.

I did tell a person really close to me about the MC yesterday since we know her really well (family member) and she had a MC last summer at the same time and she was just a far along as I was and for the first time someone knew how to make me feel just a little bit better. (somehow the only people who know have had MC them selfs but it is a little different for them I think since they all got pregnant really soon after and have their babies now and just say it will happen really soon). Anyway it just somehow made me feel better when she said I'm so sorry you lost your baby and you know you can always talk to me about anything and just that made me feel really good (there was more talking but that is the short version).
Since we have a family reunion out in the country right around the time AF is coming back I think that will make a huge difference to me because I'm pretty sure that will be almost as hard as the MD itself.

Hi everything!
So sorry that you are also going through this too. Like you I have also had a chemical (5+1) and then d and c at 9 weeks, but baby passed around 6 weeks they think. I'm on cd13 and only just started getting EWCM today so I'm guessing ov be Sunday or Monday as I have 30 day cycles ish.
Sounds good that you got that BD in! Fingers crossed you catch the egg! Defiinatley be nicer to avoid any fertility meds. I have one more go naturally before I go for investigations so hoping third time is a charm.
Those dreams are awful as they do feel so real. However I sometimes believe that it can be our future babies spirit visiting Is to let us know hat they will be here soon (that's what I like to think anyway).
A trip to the country sounds good. It's a great distraction for when AF shows up too! AF is defiinatley very difficult especially when you have tried so hard that month with all the BDing. I dread mine each time but now I'm just expecting it as I feel that my body is taking a while to get into a pattern post d and c. Do you temp as well as using OPKs?

 

[Lala77]

I'm feeling really down ... So I hear all of you talking about people being due when you would have been due. I have two coworkers who are due this October when I would have been due. I work in a 12x12 room with them everyday. I've gotten better at being happy for them and I try not to beat myself up when I can't be. The night before I miscarried my cousin called to tell me they were pregnant ... With ... You guessed it ... THE SAME DUE DATE! They even have the story we would have had of finding out on Valentine's Day.

Anyway ... We are just starting fertility support. We both had tons of blood testing and my husband gets to provide a "specimen". Anyway, I just had a HSG for the first time. Doctor says everything is perfect. I heard a little rumor that sometimes the procedure makes you more fertile afterwards ... Anyone ever hear that before? Just looking for a little hope.

I also have a 30 day ish cycle I'm pretty sure I did all I could in the BD department this month (will have one last go at it tomorrow) was a little scared that going to work out pretty hard soon after BD would ruin today but mr.google has convinced me that it's okay.

I am remaining cautiously hopeful but I'm pretty ready for femara. The funny thing is that my DH reminded me the other day that this month is the one month that I always said would sort of have the worst timing possible since I would be due during my last final exam but at this point I'm not going to stop ttc for a month if this month was the one that was meant to be.

I like that vision of the dreams it really made me feel good.

I've heard that HSG makes you more fertile so here is to crossing all fingers and toes =) I so understand you with trying to be happy for others I'm having a really hard time doing this myself and feel really bad about not being happy for them

 

[Dandi]

I've heard that you can be more fertile after HSG, my doctor even said that she sees that a lot, so good luck!

I got some test results back and it looks like I may have an auto immune disorder/thyroid disfunction that may have caused my mc and be contributing to my fertility issues. I have to go in for more tests next week, but I'm feeling relieved that there may be an explanation for everything and that it can be addressed. DH goes for SA Friday. We're still giving it our best shot this month though... What's meant to be will be!

Just wanted to tell you that I also have hypothyroid and hasimoto (hypothyroid auto immune), My levels are down to 10 after selenium and NDT so hopefully yours will get down to =)

 

[Dandi]

I sure hope so! A friend on another thread has been waiting to ttc while her levels got regulated with meds. After 6 months of wtt, she got the go ahead 3 weeks ago, in just enough time to get one bd session in that cycle and now she's pregnant. Literally the first try after getting her thyroid antibody issues in check. Very encouraging!

Well I was not that lucky my levels have been less then 10 for well over a year now with no luck and 2 losses (I'm kept almost hyper because of this and hyper does not affect mc). I really hope that something will start to happen now after they put me on metformin (after that I've had one early loss/chemical so I'm trying to take that as a good sign) so I'm crossing my fingers that it's what was missing.

Hey! Sorry to hear that you are feeling down too! Just feels like a black cloud always follows. Horrible times, but hopefully these will turn into good times soon 😊
Yes a hsg can make you more fertile if there was any 'debris' blocking the tubes. My friend had her tubes unblocked and fell pregnant only 4 months later after 18 months of trying!

I'm sure your timing was great. I think is ttc addicts do everything right but still we doubt ourselves. Good if you are feeling ready for femara. In a way I wish I could have help as I'm feeling like I'm trying again just to loose another. Have to loose 3 here in the UK before any investigations. However I have had day 21 and that was all ok. Hoping it's all bad luck, which obviously I'm doubting.
Defiinatley don't worry about timing if it's meant to be then it's meant to be 😊
I believe that life is mapped out for us. The reason I'm not pregnant is because in meant to have a particular baby in my life if that makes sense. Just getting impatient now!

 

[Trying4first1]

Just did an OPK for the hell of it. I'm on CD14. Went back into the bathroom and it's a blazing positive! I've never had one this early ever! So glad I checked on a whim now. Luckily me and DH BD last night. Hope he will tonight now too. Fingers crossed! If he doesn't I won't be happy lol
