PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

So suppliments are liquid, so I'm going to take them everyother day so 1000uiu everyother day would be like 500iu everyday added with my 400iu from my prenatal! One the one hand I just want to mimic my pregnancies with my sucessfull pregnancy...on the other hand I have mimiced them and still m/c'd, this is kinda frustrating but I am going to add the vit D and I don't think it's really gonna hurt anything, I mean if I were out in the sun tanning for an hour or two like I usually do, then I'd be getting way more right?

On another note, tomorrow is a big day for me...while 2 of my m/c's were at 10 and 11 weeks - 3 of them I miscarried right at or right before 5 weeks. So basically if I make it through the next couple of days, then I've got a little hope to this pregnancy and then if 8 week appt is good then I should be okay! Least I hope this is what's going to happen!

3x sorry to chime in late on the Vit D. I have just been told I'm deficient and started on 1000iu a day supplements, told to spend more time in the sun and eat more vit d enriched food. It was part of my pregnancy work up but I had it done at 14wks because my specialist didn't do it earlier. They didn't talk about it effecting anything then the babies bone development and didn't mention anything about RPL. I will ask the ob on Tuesday tho and see what they say.

Cute bump davies.

 

[bumpyplease]

Glad you had a nice evening tracie

Happy 5 weeks charmer!

Good for going out, Tracie!

3x, I doubt the vitamin D will harm you.
Fingers crossed your baby makes it through your critical week! Fxfxfxfx

 

[3xscharmer]

Thanks ladies, makes me feel so much better about my decision! I'm just trying to figure out if I should go buy some lower dosel so I can take them everyday!

SO far today so good...take a look at my tests!
1st one is todays 21 dpo - control line is getting even lighter
2nd is my 19 and 21 dpo progression
and the last two are my dollar store tests!
Funny how the dollars store shows a better progression!

Beth- congrats on the beta!

Tracie- is it easier to get out now for awhile and know izzy is safe?

Pip- I'm in bed just wishing I could get up and eat that soup, looks so good.

Fili- glad to hear you got to see the dr! London sounds awesome if you don't have to drive in the traffic. I can't wait for your bfp, next time is going to be good luck.

3x - congrats on 5 weeks! The vit d test was part of a ton of rpl tests I had done. I don't et sun at all really and esp not in winter in mn, the only time I've been tan in over 10 years was for my wedding (avatar pic was taken from a pic someone took at the wedding). The lines look great!

Hi bumpy n davies and just! Morning heart! Hello to anyone I missed!

I'm getting shirts and bras today, no more delaying , my boobs have entered another growth spurt and hurt! I have nothing to wear anymore except for a lot of pants I bought that are too big but I wear them anyway.

This week we are going to be onions croy, davies n heart! Another veggie that can be bigger or smaller.

She spent the evening with my parents. i kept txting every hour to check on her lol... it was better because we was doing stuff so kinda took our minds off of leaving her.

Morning everyone. Looks like I'll need some soup sooner than later. I'm officially sick for the second time in two months. I can't believe I have another cold. I never get sick. Guess I'm really pregnant! LOL! Had a horrible night's sleep due to sneezing and blowing my nose. Up at 4:30 too. I fell back asleep on the couch but now I'm tired and sick. Blah.

I wish I had some of Pip or Davies's soup. Going to get my husband to buy me some so I don't have to cook. Glad it's a long weekend and I don't have to work tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is feeling healthy!

Hi Hopeful do maternity shirts allow for boon growth too? Onions! Size ambiguity or not that's still pretty big when you think how they started off!! I asked my doc about Femara and he said he only gives it to obese ladies!?! He said clomid might be an option as one of the last resorts for me but thinking of taking it sooner ie this time round! X

 

[filipenko32]

Boob not boon

 

[filipenko32]

Heart your immune system is well and truly supressed! X

 

[heart tree]

Fili that's so strange he only gives it to obese women. All the women I know who have taken it have been slim. Too bad. I never took Clomid but I liked Femara. My friend took both and preferred Femara. Oh well, the side effects from Clomid don't last too long if you even get them, and will be worth it in the long run.

Heart hope u feel better xx
Fili my side effects with clomid was putting on a stone an half with it very hard to shift! Hit flushes for about 5 days a month! An being a hormonal dragon for 5 days a month headaches an that's it like heart said all short term apart from weight gain an that was there throughout! An stayed! My doc said they use femara for cancer patients!!

Hopeful an onion seems smaller to me than an avocado does it u? X

Thanks heart! I know! I thought it was very strange too. Anyway he was a recurrent mc specialist not a fertility man so when i see my fertility man I'm deffo pushing for Femara. Or I'm going to see a fertility specialist in USA while I'm there!!

 

[heart tree]

The Femara is used for cancer patients. It suppresses estrogen which can fuel breast cancer. But if you take it for 5 days at the beginning of your cycle then stop it will supress the estrogen for only the 5 days and then it will surge once you stop taking it. A surge in estrogen tells your body to produce LH and then to OV.

The benefits to Femara is that it doesn't thin your uterine lining or dry up CM like Clomid can. It also clears your system much more quickly than Clomid. It doesn't give you the mood swings or hot flashes either. Nor weight gain. The downside is that it's not as studied as Clomid and it is much more expensive. Mine was $20 a pill and you need 10 pills. You take 2 a day. That's $200! But my insurance didn't cover it. I found antiseptic card online and was able to get it for less.

 

[filipenko32]

So cute tracie!
Davies and heart thanks for the info, I have heard the Femara is better cos less sides but I don't think the uk has caught on yet?? Davies is that weight gain cos it makes you eat more or does it just happen even just drinking water!! I'll let you both know what my fertility man says in 2 weeks.
Onions are maybe wider all round? Maybe that's why it's further on?

Fili, how long does it normally take you to fall pregnant?

Heart, sorry to hear you are sick again but you are right - you really are pregnant!
