On the road again... a place for women getting into the TTC groove again.

[RedWylder]

@Cary- my thoughts are with you and I sure hope answers are in your future.

@Ak- how's that TWW treating you? Have you tested yet?

@Topanga- Darn that witch!!

@Starry- Im so glad you're with us and you're feeling better. I know the emotional roller coaster all to well.

 

[RedWylder]

Isn't it funny that this is one of our first thoughts now?? I would be exactly the same way. A couple of days before ovulation this month, DH thought he might be getting the flu. I was like, "ohhh, poor baby! I hope you're not getting sick! ... but seriously, even if you are, we're going to have to have sex next week."

^^THIS is SOOO true. I can't believe that one of my first thoughts about my husband's impending surgery and possibly fatal disease was "Damn, no baby for me". I feel so incredibly selfish and ridiculous for this thought and it just goes to show how unfair it is to have to wait so long. It turns women into crazy people.

hey all. I am new to this online forum thingie But thought its a good way to communicate with other hopeful mommies sailing in my boat. I had wht my gyno calls, a chemical pregnancy on jan 13th 2013... LMP was nov 21, 2012....I was getting faint but positive 2nd lines on my HPTs. Then suddenly on the said date ie jan 13th, I started bleeding and passed a big blobby clot. My heart ached on seeing that.... I decided to move on. Now its like 25 days later, and I am having sore boobs again...We r actively ttc... Dont know my ovulation date coz its just the first cycle after the chemical....Also my cycles were slight irregular always....

 

[RedWylder]

Welcome Hopes!! I've been there. I had a chemical as well but don't fool yourself into thinking that chemical doesn't mean you weren't actually pregnant. It's just an early miscarriage.

The sore boobs is a good sign but only time will tell for sure if you may be preggo again. I will say that it seems fairly common for the first AF after M/C to mimic pregnancy symptoms. I was sure I was pregnant again and yet here I am, 3 months later and very much not pregnant. Take care, and let us know how things progress!

 

[Carybear]

Awwww red... I actually got teary eyed reading your post! That is so awesome... Isn't it amazing how a listening ear and a plan of a tigon can make everything seem so much better... Sending your way and a thank you for sharing... Somehow it gives me hope too...

Welcome hopes! I too am on the third month after miscarriage and still hoping for a BFP. FX'd for you.

Tomorrows the big day... Hoping for some answers instead of crazy stares...

 

[aknqtpie]

Red - I am glad your doctor listened to your concerns and acted on them. Sounds like you have a good plan to move forward.

Hopes - Welcome!!! I am sorry for your loss. Sore boobs could either be 1) BFP! 2) AF 3) Ovulating... I just went through my first ovulation since my D&C.. and my boobs hurt the last 3 days. Today was the first day they stopped hurting..

TWW has been horrid.. no testing yet.. as I am only 1-3dpo (could of O'd anywhere from Sat to Monday)..

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. You're obviously really concerned about your husband's health. When you want something so deeply for so long, it's natural that you're going to be upset by any setbacks, no matter what they might be. You'll help nurse your DH back to health and be TTCing before you know it! This is just a bump in the road!

But I agree, this process absolutely does turn us into crazy people!!!! [My DH would say we were crazy to begin with, heh!]

 

[aknqtpie]

I am "unstable" lol

 

[Carybear]

Ok... Back from the doctor... It was both good and bad... He scheduled an ultrasound for the 25th of February... But didnt do one today. He did say that he was willing to work around the insurance issue with fertility and code things certain ways. He also said that he was willing to look into some options. So, it will all start with the ultrasound. I am 9dpo and the pregnancy test at the dr was negative... Maybe there is still hope for a BFP this month.

Should I go ahead with the ultrasound my regular GP ordered. She coded it as for my thyroid so I know insurance will pay for both. What do you all think?

 

[Topanga053]

If insurance will cover both, I would do it with the specialist. Might as well do it with the person most qualified to give you the answers you want.

 

[Carybear]

Well, my GP coded it as having to do with my thyroid. The gyn is because of abnormal AF. My last two AFs have only been about two days long.

I'm thinking the insurance will pay for both because of the different codes.

 

[Starry Night]

I would always choose the specialist over the GP if offered the choice. If your insurance will cover both then it might be good to get two different perspectives. However, it might also make it extra confusing if they contradict one another.

Welcome, Hope. I don't want to be a downer but I also experienced very pregnant-like symptoms with my first full cycle of TTC at ovulation and at AF. But definitely not pregnant. It could very well be your bfp and you won't know unless you test but our bodies can play cruel jokes on us after a m/c and is absolutely heart wrenching. It's good to keep that at the back of your mind as you test.

AFM - af is ending so about 2 and a half weeks until I ovulate. I hate long cycles sometimes...

 

[RedWylder]

It's always about 2.5 weeks for me as well Starry! I hate how long it takes. It sounds like the clomid I'm going on next cycle is going to help jump start my ovulation and hopefully get things happening faster.

 

[Starry Night]

Good luck with the clomid.

A little rant but I'm seeing bfp after bfp in all the other threads I'm participating in and am starting to get frustrated. I know I shouldn't because it's only been 1 full cycle of TTC after my latest m/c but it's still so hard when other girls get their bfps and I haven't even ovulated yet! Just impatient, I suppose.

I'll be taking my next hpt on March 12 provided AF doesn't show.

 

[aknqtpie]

Right with you Starry.. hopefully we are soon!

 

[Topanga053]

Just thinking the same thing, Starry! And I'm starting my 5th cycle post-miscarriage! I feel like one of the only ones left from when I started here! Oh well... I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.

 

[RedWylder]

Good morning ladies. It's been quiet on this thread which I can only assume means that we're all trying to distract ourselves by doing normal every day things. How are you all feeling? I'm 4 dpo and there is such a slim chance I could be pregnant this month. Due to my hubby's surgery, the last time we BD'd was 4 days prior to ovulation. And while the timing was crap I still feel hopeful. Why do I even let myself feel this way?? Anyways- my chart is looking lovely-see below. My temps continue to get higher. The last time my chart looked similar was when I actually was pregnant so that's probably why I have hopeful feelings.

Once I hit 7dpo I can go into the doc and have them do my progesterone level check. Darn you TWW!

 

[aknqtpie]

Good morning! I am 7dpo... I will probably start testing on tuesday... :-/ Probably early, but I am feeling hopeful!

 

[RedWylder]

A lot of people get faint bfps on 8dpo so not TOOOO early. Good luck!

 

[aknqtpie]

I tested this afternoon .. ... I have to buy more tomorrow.. so I probably won't test again until Tuesday. Unless I make a spontaneous trip to the store tonight...
