Our journeys to baby #2

[flou]

mdscpa. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. And don't worry about the venting. Everyone needs to do it from time to time. And thats the great thing about coming on forums like this is you can vent and express how you truly feel and all of us understand and sympathise with how you feel. I have definitely had my moments of thinking that its not going to happen and maybe I should accept DS being an only child even though I am desperate for more. Personally at the moment I am happy to keep trying but I am not sure how long in reality I want to try. I am also petrified of being pg again, even though I hope for it. Its a crazy and stressful journey!

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Flou.

Ftale - FX yesteday's temp was ID and temp starts picking up again. When will you test again?


AFM, another drop and it's below CL expecting her today so I'm on the lookout. If not, maybe tomorrow as FF predicted.

 

[FTale]

Hey, I think today was the last day of testing for me. I have no idea why it was high this morning.

I have all my pms syptoms and a bfn Osom on 11dpo so I know I 'm out.

See you on the May board my board. There is a HUGE chance I won't even try this cycle because we will be literally on the road as I ovulate...LOL.. May through July will be be doing some thing with the doctor. If she wants to do IVF then it will won't be until I lose 40lbs and that will take a while. Or she may want to try IUI with injectables. Either way, I'm with you on this journey.

My temp keeps rising and I have started to have all sorts of symptoms. Still dull pelvic ache, have a sore back and my hips are aching, yucky taste in my mouth and really tired! But nothing clear on my tests yet. Think I'll test another brand, since I read that One Step can take some time before showing despite it beeing a sensitive test.

 

[mdscpa]

Div - sorry about the bfn maybe it's just too early for that brand to pick it up. FX you get a line from today. Temps looking great.


Ftale - Sorry you're feeling you're out already Like you, not really sure if we're going to try like try try this cycle as well. FX you get your before seeing your doc for IVF/IUI.


AFM - she did arrive yesterday so I was right about my LP being 11dpo. Now, to figure out my O symptoms just us to time BD appropriately. Gonna take forever again to O.

 

[FTale]

FX for a bfp, your temps look super!!


Mdscpa..I love your post. I hope we do too. I won't be able to take anymore meds though while I wait. It will be a true miracle indeed. And I hope your body Os sooner rather than later this cycle.

 

[mdscpa]

I hope we do O soon. FF is so confused with my cycle, so do I. For the last 3 cycles I O'ed CD13, CD41 then CD34, go figure where my fertile stats are now. But i'm glad I'm O'ing and not having anov cycle after each ovulatory one's as I thought was my normal since starting TTC#2. Gonna be more tricky this time.




Div - sorry for the bfn hope that chart really brings you soon.

 

[FTale]

mdscpa: Have you tried fertiliaid or Conception fertility vitamins? I triec the Conception ones this cycle for a lil bit but stopped because my tummy was feeling weird but look at my temps this cycle??? They look good and my ovulation wasn't as painful. I'm tempted to start them again and see if it was just something I ate that day. Normally my temps only look that good when I'm on Clomid.

I hope this cycle is no O cycle for you. Forgive me if I already asked this but do you take anything at all besides vitamins?

 

[mdscpa]

With DS, i tried fertilaid for 2 mos before i went back to clomid then back with fertilaid again the month we conceived him. This time, we tried fertilaid for 2 mos (1 ovulatory and 1 anov) bfn. So not taking anything at the moment but checking out if we can give PH pro (fairhaven product as well) a try or just see a specialist again. It will be clomid for sure and I hate it due to bad side effects but I always release 2 eggs with it just not conceiving.

Same here, I release so many eggs with Clomid but never conceive. I have not gotten pregnant since 2009 (on my own).

I wonder what it is. Have you ever had any tests done on your ovaries like AMH? I think I have to do a repeat one on Monday. I'm nervous 3.94 I think was my last one at 39, I'm 41 now.

I think you will get pregnant soon. You charts look like you O good. Could just be a matter of the eggie having trouble implanting. How soon can you get to see a spec?

 

[mdscpa]

2009 was too long and I'm sorry you had to go that long. Hope you get your baby#2 soon. Praying for you hun.


I've never done any tests since DS' birth but before it was all normal just not ovulating (weak O) sometimes. My thought exactly about implantation. I'm thinking my lining isn't good because during my clomid cycles they always see that my lining isn't that thick so they put me on progesterone just to help with it. But I wasn't taking progesterone with DS so maybe everything is normal?

 

[FTale]

Our bodies change with every pregnancy. Delivering my daughter was rough on my cervix. Plus having the cerclage in prior didn't help either. I've only had one issue with anyone getting into it though and that was the stupid doc who tried to do my last iui. It was ridiculous. Anyway (trying to not think of that time .lol)

I'm thinking its the lining too though. My has always seemed too thin or too thick and vary rarely just right. My cycles are not really heavy either. Only 3 1/2 days with spotting at the end. I usually tell FF more days so it doesn't mess up my crosshairs or AF start date..LOL..

Waiting for cd1 before I start my vitamins again. I've been lazy last couple of days.

 

[flou]

I think I am now 1dpo and its just the waiting game. I hope we some bfps all round soon!

 

[DiviniumLiv]

14 dpo today (or possibly 12 dpo) and I am out for sure. No progress on the tests at all in 48h, so now I know I'm out.. Guess af will show up any day now.

 

[FTale]

sorry div
What do you have planned? Tests?

 

[DiviniumLiv]

FTale - I have absolutely no idea.. I'm thinking of talking to a private clinic since the doctor I saw at the fertility clinic treated me badly. She questioned me for even beeing there and thought I was silly and that chemicals where completely normal. A few maybe, but not over 10 chemicals in 15 months! I have had my uterus checked on cd 3 and it looked fine, as well as my ovaries. Haven't had my progesterone checked yet though.

That's right. I still want to shake that lady.

THAT many chemicals is not normal. Sounds like hormone/implantation matters. I would get my bloods checks. I did today..ouch feel dizzy after they took over 10 vials from me. I ate lunch like a champ though.

Please get checked out. You could be holding your rainbow baby by now since you can clearly get preggers. Its just matter of getting the lil bean to stick. I'm so curious as to what is up for you. So very sad.

Keep us posted on how/what you are doing

 

[DiviniumLiv]

FTale - I will definitely keep updating you guys on how it's going. Got a prettty quick response from the private clinic and I'm thinking of making an appointment there, even though it costs like 100$ (900 sek). But if it could get to the bottom of what's wrong, it will be worth it in the end.

It took some time ttc our son too. We did some fertility tests after about a year - all my tests were good, but my husband had lower motility % on his little swimmers (but on the other hand had tripple the amount!). They did a check of my tubes and uterus with a saline solution and even though they couldn't see any blockage, I got a bfp 2 weeks after that! Took 17 months in total and not a single chemical pregnancy at all.

The only thing I know has changed for me since then, is that I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia in october last year. Not saying it has anything to do with all my chemicals though.

 

[FTale]

It may have, Div. Fibro. is no laughing matter. Its so debilitating. Its like a ghost that kicks your butt but no one can see it. My best friend has it and its suspected that I do as well. My worst is being fatigued. Especially if I eat anything that is not a whole food like fruits or veggies.

I don't know how its tied in but has to be.

Well, hopefully after my saline flush Thursday I can finally conceive. My HSG didn't help at all..

FX you can achieve #2 soon.

 

[flou]

Divi I hope you get some answers soon.

Ftale I hope the saline flush went well. Fx for a bfp soon.

Afm not much to report. Half way through tww and haven't really noticed any symptoms. Maybe thats a positive thing, who knows!
