Lovely Ladies TTC

[bbanner19]

So sorry for your loss MrsGoose. I also recently had a MMC and now I am on my first cycle really TTC again. I know I how hard it is. When I got my first AF all the emotions came back to me for a couple days. On CD7 now and just waiting for Ovulation day to come. Good luck to you! By the way, what was your old username??

Thanks bbanner. I think we might have been friends on my old one i think. It was ..Julie..

I am nervous for the first visit from AF but I want it to come soon I want to get back to normal. How long do you wait to TTC??

 

[bbanner19]

Hey Julie!

I actually started to try as soon as I had my emotions in control and felt that I was up for trying. I didn't hold out too much hope of getting a BFP before AF, but I was surprised when AF came. Now I am really trying and should be ovulating in about 7-8 days.

Where are you at in your cycle?

Where are you at in your cycle?

I am not even sure I just stopped bleeding a few days ago (like completely stopped no spotting or anything) from the D&C. But the last few days what would seem like normal cm has showed itself not quite egg white though. I haven't kept track of this cycle much I just started back up on fertility friend and temping again. I'm not sure if my hcg levels are low enough for any ovulation so I'm just waiting for AF before actively TTC. I'm doing alright emotionally I have a couple of triggers that set me back a couple steps but for the most part I'm better.

Was your first AF after mc very different??

Was your first AF after mc very different??

AF actually came exactly 30 days/1 month after my MC which is in line with my regular cycles before getting pregnant. Then when AF came it was slightly different but not much. Bleeding lasted half a day longer than normal and the first half was heavier than normal as well. All in all my body handled it pretty well. I was lucky to have my body bounce back so fast. I think I will just chalk it up to being young... Haha.

How far along were you?

How far along were you?

I was supposed to be 12 weeks but the baby stopped growing at 10 weeks. So far I feel like my body is bouncing back really well from the D&C (which I elected to do instead of doing naturally. I didn't want it to try to deal with that while working. Which worked out well I was able to take a week off work to deal with everything easier than doing itat work. I felt zero morning sickness after the procedure and all of my pregnancy symptoms disappeared.

I'm 24 and that was my first pregancy. We are in the process of buying a house which should be settled by mid feb. I am hoping to fall pregnant at around the same time. Last time I was functioning well until about 7 and 1/2 weeks and was sick sick sick with morning sickness. It would making moving impossible.

I'm excited to try again. The timing should work out well. Hopefully. I'm anxious for AF to get here so I can start from scratch and have a good day 1 of cycle to start from. so hopefully I only have a couple weeks to go before she will show her face. ill be so excited! haha!

I will be crossing my fingers for you with ovulation right around the corner!!

Its amazing how similiar we are! I am 25 and this was my first pregnancy. DH and I are also currently in the process of buy a house as well which hopefully we should have everything settled in the next couple months.

I didn't have any morning sickness since the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks, but I didn't have the miscarriage until 9 weeks. I had a natural miscarriage, but not by choice. It came faster than I could do anything about it.

Good luck with everything. It doesn't happen often that you wish for AF to come.


Where is everyone at?? How are you all doing??

 

[..Julie..]

You're right not often do we wish for AF to show her face. Good luck to you in the coming day!!! Sending good thoughts and baby dust your way!!



Do a lot of you ladies out there chart your BBT?? I am going to look for a new thermometer.. and was just looking for some suggestions??? I'm not using anything special right now but am starting to second guess the accuracy on it. It seemed to work before while we were TTC back in August... Just not sure. Any advice would be great!!

 

[minuet]

Julie I've been using the BD Basal Digital Thermometer from Amazon.

This is it here https://www.amazon.com/BD-524560-Basal-Digital-Thermometer/dp/B001AM43VY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1356844913&sr=8-5&keywords=basal+body+thermometer

It has an annoying constant beep though, which hasn't bothered me/spouse much since I switched to temping 'down there'. Also it beeps when it has the reading, and I turn it off and go back to sleep. In the morning I can just turn it on and the reading is displayed.

Hi ladies,

I'm back from our skiing trip (we had tons of snow), and I really enjoyed the time away

Julie - I am very sorry for your loss

Still haven't had time to catch up with everything on here, but hope everybody is doing fine

For me things are still in the limbo. DH has to get an SA and has been quite frustrated/depressed (I think I had mentioned that we did some home tests). We are still sort of TTC, but my gut feeling is that we'll need to get referred to a fertility clinic. I'm actually not feeling too bad, but my DH isn't taking it too well (not too surprising)...
Anyway, I'll keep everybody posted...

Sorry about AF, but glad your body is back to normal so fast. I am also so happy you are feeling good. It really does make a difference when trying again.

I am 1 DPO today!!! Yay! Let the longgg 2 weeks begin. I felt like the 17 days leading up to O day was long, so I am not too excited about how long the 2WW will feel. FX'd.

Are you using anything this cycle like OPKs, Temping, or help with conception?? Were your cycles normally 28 days before the pregnancy??

Good luck! Wishing you lots of baby dust!

 

[Shannon30]

I am on cd 7 today..af was alittle long this month i guesss because of mc. I was going to wait but might try this month...I usually use opk's. I usually get a positive day 13/14 always. Let's see what happens this month. How are you feeling??? Hope all is good..let the journey begin!!
Talk soon.

Hi Ladies~ I thought I'd check in to see how everyone was doing and give an update on myself. I went for my NT ultrasound and had the blood work done. The baby is doing great, measuring on point with a good heartbeat. Hubby went with me and it was exciting to see him excited. The baby was mostly upside down but the tech was able to get the fold measurements and prelims show there are w/in normal range but I'll need the 2 blood tests results to confirm all is good. I've been feeling good and per my previous posts I really haven't have the normal first trimester issues. MS has been under control, BB are only slightly larger w/tender nipples, and I have bouts of tiredness.

Carley, Smiler, and Hope how are you all progressing. I hope everything is going well also

Banner & Shannon I hope you get your soon!

Hey AWESOME news!!! WOOHOO!!!

You are very lucky with your symptoms girl!!! Lol...I still have bad sickness (well today not bad but yesterday...HORRENDOUS!!) LOL. Boobs not too bad...fatigue...BAD!! I love that my bump is rising above my pelvic bone now..even though I am a fatty anyway!! Haha. Cannot stop touching it

I have my 12 week scan on Thurs (am actually 12 weeks today). A little nervous...but also excited. I just hope bubs is great.

Love the scan pic!! So cute!!

I hope all are OK...good luck with the tests AuCa...I hope the fertility clinic route works wonders for you and your hubby!!

Good luck getting your ladies and I hope those who are pregnant are doing great

 

[Smiler82]

Hey there

sorry ladies I have kind of disappeared from this thread! I feel a little bad being on when most ppl are talking ttc issues but I still think of you guys and hope everyone gets their happy news very soon x

PurpleIvy that's so great about your scan Love that baby was upside down haha So you haven't had many symptoms this pregnancy? I suffered a bit the first few weeks, bad nausea and sick a few times and REALLY tired but I'm 9 weeks now and things are getting a lot better. Which is worrying!! I did have a scan on Friday when I was 8+4 and everything was looking fine, but I still worry. I've never had sore boobs, though they are getting bigger.

Hope everyone else is doing well xxx

 

[hope2903]

Hey smiler, carly and purple so glad everythings going well, I'm ok feel awful lol picked up a bug which has caused me to have vomiting and diarrhea all day started getti.g some bleeding so went to the epu they did a scan and everything's good seen and heard the heartbeat, I'm one day less than I thought and I've got a cyst on my ovary which they said will go away after about 12 weeks, just so happy I seen the heartbeat

 

[bbanner19]

Hey all you pregnant ladies! I am so glad everything is going so well! I was worried because everyone dissappeared!

I am currently 11 DPO today. I took a test this morning and I could very faintly see something if I tilted it and squinted a lot! I took it out of the FRER stick and it got a little darker as it fully dried, but I am not sure if it was an EVAP line so I will not be counting it a BFP until I don't have to guess. I thought for sure this month I caught the egg. I had a symptom with my first BFP back in October that was unusual for me. I tend to be a very regular person when it comes to my bowels and with my first BFP my metabolism got faster on 5DPO and I ended up getting my BFP on 11DPO. This cycle the same symptom happened on 7DPO. Maybe I will get my BFP on 13DPO??? We'll see! I have also been quite nauseous the past couple days and very very tired!!! Hopefully I will be joining you ladies again very soon! The only thing that makes me worried is that I have only had cramping and sharp pain in my right side only by my hip bone...so I am hoping its not ectopic or a cyst. It's slowing moving more and more to the center, but still on my right side.

 

[Smiler82]

Oh bbanner I hope you get a definite BFP very soon I had pain on my right side too the cycle I fell pregnant. I hadn't tested at that point and the thought also crossed my mind that it could be a cyst or ectopic, but thankfully it was neither. FX for you

hope I'm so sorry you caught a bug and made you that ill. The bleeding must have been really worrying; just so pleased for you everything is looking ok x
