Let's get pregnant in 2012!!!! TTC #1 after loss

[patiently]

Hey ladies can i join this thread...i have suffered two losses in 2011 one exactly a year ago today so feb 4th and another in June and i am still ttc since then...we have been trying for almost two years now! im 24 and my OH is 24...sometimes i feel really positive and other times i feel like ive hit rock bottom and to top it off my younger sister who is 18 found out shes expecting over xmas after being with her OH for less than a month...it seems when we really want something its such a challenge to get it, however when we are not fussed it just comes! argh...i am now on my third round of clomid though i have irregular periods ranging from 34-40 days and do ovulate on my own. I do not have PCOS just ovulate on different days each cycle but since being put on clomid i tend to ovulate around cd18...I hope this is our BFP month this month ladies...GL to us all! sending lots and lots of baby dust to you all x

Good luck to you both. The thing is not to stress, or so everyone keeps saying. Just relax and take it easy, maybe you can do something to take your mind off of it for a while so that you wont be expecting it to happen and then it will! murphy's law. Anyways, I'm praying you both get a stickly little one soon! hopefully this month!

Although I didn't select my setting at TTC.. We are. I MC'd Nov 2011 as well. It was moreso an emotional rollercoaster because I was told:
You're not pregnant... MC... You are pregnant... You only had a threatened MC... Oh you're not pregnant now...

Hmmmmm... Anyway, I guess I was preoccupied over the holidays because we bought our first house and used the holidays to move. I work as a fulltime secondary teacher, so it worked out pretty good.

I am very certain that I am pregnant now, but I cannot get a positive test yet. I tried to home test when I MC'd but couldn't get any result until I got a blood test..
I am 5 days away for the MC threshold and 6 days away from my reschedualed blood test. I'm hoping there are no complications this time...

Good luck to you! I know it can be hard. I went through it in December and I recently found out I am pregnant. Two days late on AF too, so I know I really am! I really hope you get your BFP soon, too! Let us all know how the blood test goes!

With clomid the OPK's always showed + on the morning of 14 and the morning of 15 so I'm assuming I was either catching the surge on it's way up and way down. Although I didn't get my cycle twice so that could assume that it didn't work seeing that it would make me ovulate and therefore my cycle would have come on its own.

Well the letrozole gave me what could have been a + this morning cd 12 so I'm not even sure if these darn things work for me! Anyone have any suggestions? Well either way we're working our hardest to make this our month! Praying for our "golden ticket"

 

[Viking15]

flybaby, I have never taken any meds, so I don't have any advice there. My opks show a fairly short surge in my opinion. Usually cd 13...

 

[flybaby]

Well I'm not sure I don't think I O'd yet. The line isn't dark enough. But thank you for the response! I hate even thinking about it to the point where I gotta use the OPK's but the Dr's office wants feedback on the results so I gotta do it...

 

[Viking15]

I love using OPKs. I basically have a POAS addiction. Honestly, I like knowing that at least something is working right.

 

[flybaby]

Yeah I guess...I see where you're coming form. With my daughter I didn't use anything except clomid and that was enough to think about! Since I switched doctors and they require the OPK's I hate it...I think about it and fret a million times more! I don't care how many people say to just not stress but that's just not feasible! It's been 11 months since we started trying...4 of them were using meds and 3 waiting after miscarriage... And none of them have I seen my doctor other than for a 5 minute consult at the very beginning...I've had 2 appointments that have been rescheduled because she's been in surgery...Another appointment is scheduled for this week so we'll see. It's just a check up...but I feel neglected!

Well ladies can I join too? We are TTC #1 and just lost our first on Saturday (2/4/12). I am still in complete shock and missing our little bean so badly. We are waiting the doctor recommended 2 weeks to BD again (to prevent infection after the D&C), but as soon as that time is up we are going to immediately start TTC again. I have no idea how my cycles will behave after this loss, but I am going to go back to OPKing and hopefully have some luck. I am scared to death that this will happen again, but I also feel like I can't let that stop us from trying until we have the healthy precious baby we both want more than anything.

Sorry to hear it. I just went through that in December, it was the hardest thing.

So sorry! DH & I went through this in november, and we really want out healthy baby!!!


afm - i made an appt with an RE, b/c i want to try clomid or something but my midwife said i should talk to the re b/c he may want to give me something else..im kinda wanting to try femara!

 

[flybaby]

I was really looking forward to trying femara after 3 cycles of clomid and 50+ day cycles and a miscarriage...I've changed my mind! They gave me the option of femara or a specialist and this is my 1st round of femara if it doesn't work (at cd 14 today and haven't gotten a + OPK yet) anyways if it doesn't work I'm going to have them send us to the specialist because at the moment I feel like we're being neglected...

BD85 welcome to our little group. I don't post here much, because I get sad, but it is nice to have some people that understand where we are coming from. I am so sorry about your baby. It really is heartbreaking.
Flybaby, your cycles are 50+ days? That would make me completely loony. Definitely get into that RE and find out what is going on. I really hope that you can get some serious help Please report back. When is your appt?

My OB gives me provera to bring on my cycle. I had my check up today and she said I look like I should be ovulating soon. It's day 15 and haven't gotten a + OPK yet but she said the femara I took can delay it and she also said that next month she would monitor me or we could do something more invasive and possibly do IUI. We'll see... I don't want to use IUI until the last possible chance because that will burn up our infertility insurance for our lifetime... I have to wait until day 40 and if I still get a - pregnancy test she'll give me the provera and I take that for five days and about 5 days later I get my period. So far I really like my OB but she is a busy woman so I hope that if I do get pregnant I still feel like I'm being cared for. My last OB gave me all the time in the world while I was pregnant but after I gave birth she did a lot of things that ended us in the NICU because she didn't do a simple test for my daughter...and other things that doctors shouldn't do!
Thanks for your concern and I know what you mean it making you sad. It's always in my thoughts and I can't get it off my mind!

 

[godskid]

Godskid, of course you can join us. I am so sorry for your loss. That is just heartbreaking. I wish I could say something that could make you feel better, but we all know that's really not possible. It is awful and you have the right to grieve the loss. I hope that you heal quickly and can try again. The idea is that we are more fertile just after a MC so maybe you can catch another egg!

Thank you so much for the welcome message... Got my AF after mc on Feb 6 ...
One of my colleage too got an mc on DEc 29 ... she is here with a biggg fatttt positive now , convceived the month after mc , without an AF in between ...

I miscarried with my first on Jan. 3rd, 2012. I would love to have a child and everyone around be just gave birth or is pregnant. I think it would be nice to be able to talk with people who are in the same boat as you. Would love to chat with any of you anytime!

 

[ayclobes]

7days late and not pregnant..ugh. Seen my new re 2/23 he wants to start doing a trigger shot before I O or around the time to give it the extra push..I did kinda want to do femara with the trigger..but since I o on my own, he doesnt wanna over stimulate me. I'm just waiting for the call from my midwife once they have the plan drawn up, so i can know how much we really have to pay for the treatments. Our ins. covers iui, injectibles ect so thats good! it basically covers infertility treatments too!
