Looking for TTC buddies after MC

[elmum]

So sorry Peanut. We are hoping with you and for you.

Thanks ladies! How are you all doing?

Well I think I ovulated but my temps look weird. I don't think FF is going to know where to put the O day. I have a cold also, so I think that has messed with it too. I think I'm about 2-3 dpo
I'm going for a blood test tomorrow to check for hormones from O so maybe that'll tell me more? Also seeing the Dr before for my scan results so I'll see what she says. Last week was just so bloody stressful so I know that's really messed me up. So annoyed.

I'm definitely out this month I only had 1 insem and my donor went on vacation during my fw.

How long are your cycles? It seems like when you have 2 cycles I barely have 1 lol.. I think I will be fertile around the 28th.. So far away lol

For all the ladies that have more than 2 children already do you have any advice for me for when I eventually pop another? I hear too many stories about how hard it is and how you never have time for the first. Also my son will be 4 in December do you think a big age gap will affect the kids interaction?

Peanut, my oldest DD was 5 when my youngest DD was born. It’s worked well for us. However, now they are almost 16 and 11....will be a huge gap for our new LO. I believe they’ll adore her though.

Well I was about 25 days the first few months after MC ovulating around CD13/14, then last month I started taking Vitex (not sure if this is what made a difference) and it was more like 28/29 days but Ovulated around CD17. If I actually did Ovulate this month, it was about CD20 but I believe it was delayed because of my awful stressful week last week. I think today I'm about 4-5dpo but FF hasn't given me the O date because my temps have been weird, probably to do with the cold I have and not sleeping properly etc.

I got my scan results today. Everything looks good, normal uterus and about 12 / 13 follicles on each ovary so that's a good number. I went for the blood test to check progesterone and stuff too, despite not quite being a week past ovulation, but the Dr said do it anyway cuz they should see some hormones by now. She'll call me Monday with those results.

I had a 3 year (and a little bit) gap between DS1 and 2 which I found really good. DS1 was at the point where he could keep himself entertained if I was feeding or wanted to have a little nap while DS2 was napping. He was also really gentle with him too, no issues with leaving DS1 on the floor for tummy time etc and worrying about DS1 picking him up or whatever. A friend however had a smaller gap between her two and her DS1 just loved his baby so much he would be on top of him on the floor or trying to get into his cot, never deliberately trying to hurt him, but just at bit full on. I think it comes down to the kids though. I don't think there'll be any issues with your son being 4, if anything he'll be a great help and your next one will just love having him around and the interaction between them will be simply gorgeous.

Hey ladies hope you are all ok.

Peanut I'm sorry you were feeling down the other day, are you feeling any better now? CD1 is often a really rubbish day! I hope you are feeling more positive now, look after yourself.

I've more or less given up ttc. My cycles don't seem right anymore, weird periods and I don't think I ovulated a couple of cycles......no o symptoms that I'd become used to each month for last year and a half. No positive OPK's, although I didn't use them much ( didn't want to get sucked into POAS crazy again! Lol) I didn't try and bd at any particular times, didn't avoid it either but I had no idea where I was in my cycle last couple of months as it's been so messed up!
I'm much less focused on ttc now and not been on this forum much, clears your head a bit!

I've been quite busy otherwise and I think maybe that's it over for us, we have our 2 boys and perhaps a 3rd is just not meant to be???

My due date for Tiny is coming soon, 22nd July, today I would have been 34+4, I can't believe how quickly time has gone.

Sending some to you all xxx

Hi BabyBrain - so sorry things haven't been good for you with TTC etc. I'll be thinking of you on 22nd July. I can't believe how fast time has gone either. I've not kept up with how many weeks I'd be now, too painful, but my EDD of early Sept also seems so close. Often have those "what if" moments. xx

I finally got my crosshair on FF app. It took my Ovulation date as the day I thought I did also, so that's good. I'm 6dpo so lets see how long I can hold out for testing. TRYING to be good and at least wait until 9/10dpo. I've had so much stress and sickness this cycle I'm not holding out too much help, but I will also be devo if the witch comes again.

I hope everyone is finding time to relax this weekend. x

Hi ladies. Read through these pages and I'm so sorry for all the losses. I just lost ours on the 8th and it frickin sucks. I honestly think you ladies that have lost more than one especially and still trying are so strong. I think if we don't get pregnant again in the next few months or it happens again i think im don't. We have dtd 2 times already. Still spotting here and there. Hcg 200 on Wednesday and will check again next Wednesday. We live 6 hours apart so ill be driving over every couple days. If it doesn't work before first af after the loss ill be not wanting to really try anymore. I don't think im going to use opks or anything just dtd whenever we can.
You lovely ladies are amazing to keep trying.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Oh no Crusher, I'm so sorry
All I can say is take 1 day at a time, your mind may change from one minute to the next about what you want to do (mine sure does!). You are so much stronger than you think too. If you don't fall pregnant straight away dont forget its not your fault, your body may just not be ready. I totally understand the need for it to happen asap but I've always given myself 1 cycle but I know others have gone on and conceived with no problems 1st try. There is no right or wrong. So sending you lots of and hugs. I hope your hcg drops quickly xx

 

[Poppiebug]

So sorry for your loss Crusher. It's never nice to welcome a new reader / posted to this thread, but you are more than welcome to chat here with us.

I'm on 9dpo, caved and tested, bfn of course, I'm not really feeling symptoms either way and I guess it's a bit too early. My bfps in the past were more like 10/11/12 dpo.

My Dr phoned with my blood test results, I wasn't exactly sure about all the things she was testing for, but progesterone looked ok as did most things except the AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) was a little bit low? I have had a google around but I'm not too sure on what that all means, she said things might just take a little longer because my follicle count was good and everything else was ok. I'll follow up with her in a couple of weeks, hopefully it'll be because I am pregnant this cycle though.

 

[crusherwife44]

Thanks ladies. I get my hcg checked again wednesday morning. Hope its just already zero now.
How are you ladies?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your levels drop super quickly - I know it hurts to have to keep going back to an office full of pregnant ladies just to get your miscarriage blood draws. Hang in there.

 

[crusherwife44]

My draw from yesterday was 24. Hope I'm ovulating this weekend because I'll be with my hubs then and wouldn't have another chance most likely
