The ALL NEW Chart Stalkers Group - Come stalk with us!!

[Cleo]

Hi Mrs. N -- I'm interested to know your soy theory...OH and I both went off soy in about April. We had read that it wasn't good for fertility. What have you heard?

Gypsy -- it depends when you usually ovulate...I usually started around CD8 - CD10...

Kelly -- sooo get where you're coming from. We stopped charting for a month, but then I got frustrated NOT knowing if I ovulated or what my luteal phase was! You have to decide what's best for you and go with what causes you the least amount of stress.

Hope all the other ladies are doing well!

Cleo- Congrats!!!! You look great!

Hi ladies.
Would it be okay if I was added to the chart stalkers group? If it's not, i would understand.
Given the recent loss of our baby, I feel as though I have no control over anything. ... not that I am a control freak, but i feel helpless. We are still grieving, but part of me feels anxious to try again. We love our very much, and will never forget our sweet but I feel like if I started charting again, it would help with the healing process. My DH agreed. Due to insurance issues, we wont be able to try again until the summer , but i still wanted to temp just to make sure we get the hang of things (since we only did it for about a month in august). Do you ladies mined if i join, even though I wont start ing until Juneish?

P.s. I wont be able to start charting for about another month. I have to wait until I get the and the doc said it probably wouldn't happen for another 4-6 weeks.

 

[kstancook]

Yes, we want you here!!! Always welcome as far as I am concerned!

[Guppy051708]

should i wait until my next period to stat temping??
I probably should, huh? URG! im just anxious!!! The doc said it would be 4-6 weeks before I got a period again...but i just NEED to do something!!!

and, I [maybe] have some good news! we may be able to get insurance earlier than we thought so hopefully we can start trying in december!!

 

[SarahMelissa]

Guppy if it were me i would be temping just so i knew what was going on, it cant hurt can it?

 

[kstancook]

same here I would be temping too!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks girls.
I am currently in Cleveland, ohio at a pretty nice hotel. the DH has an interview today and tomorrow with Progressive. It's a nice mini-vaca, and thanks to Progressive, we dont haveta pay $ i REALLY REALLY REALLY hope we can try pretty soon.

Does anyone know what progesterone and those other hormones are like after an MC? The doc said it would be safe to try after I get the but im scared that my hormone levels would be messed up...sometimes i wonder if thats what happened with my baby because I had just came of BCP. Any ideas?

 

[kstancook]

I dont know...sorry!

Guppy did you actually have a normal after BCP or did you get pregnant straight away??? I have heard that a lot of women that get pregnant before getting a normal AF after BCP will often have a MC because your body hasnt had a chance to get back to normal yet. It is recommeneded that you try and have 3 normal cycles (but at least 1) off BCP before becoming pregnant.

 

[Guppy051708]

i did get pregnant my first cycle off BCP. I thought that too, but when I talked to my OB/GYN she said that it was perfectly okay to get pregnant that first cycle, and that the only reason some dont advise it is because it makes it tougher to figure out due dates. (but we were temping and everything so that wasnt a problem). She asured me that it wouldnt have an effect. She also said that any "fake" hormones are out of the system within a couple of days. Really, the only problem would be if i Ov or not, but i did. I read on my BCP box that there are no known causes of a MC due to the pill. Heck, i even know ppl who got preggo while they were on the pill and didnt know it- they didnt MC....though now that all of this has happened...i dont know if i believe the doc...sometimes I think that BCP wont ever get blamed. Bc in the States, they make you go through 2-3 MC before they will test your blood or anything else. They just blame it on a "chromosomal mismatch"...but the thing is my doc never even looked into it. Its bull crap. Im starting to think it was bc of BCP. And yet other women will never know the truth because they blame it on crappy DNA before even knowing what really happened....sorry for the rant. but its frustrating.

anyways, we are going to wait a couple of cycles either way. I just dont want to risk it again. I would LOVE to get preggo ASAP, but I dont want another . I want my . So i am trying with everthing in me to wait until the very end of dec. (if everything goes through w/ insurance).

 

[SarahMelissa]

Yeah its hard to know what to believe some times hey. Well i hope you can try again soon and get that sticky bfp

Welcome Guppy

Kelly9 - enjoy your break away from B&B. I can't wait to see you back here all renewed and refreshed xxx

 

[Guppy051708]

Does anyone know if UTIs (urinary tract infections) can cause a miscarriage? I have been told by some that they don't, but i have also read online many cases of woman going through a miscarriage and getting a + UTI test the same day. Coincidental or maybe that could be a cause (even though UTIs are common in pregnancy)?

The ER doctor called me (finally, a week after they tested me for a UTI during my miscarriage last Saturday). They said I had to go on Macrobid for a UTI. i was very surprised by this! in the past 9 months I have had 3 diagnosed UTIs by doctors and had been prescribed meds. Though I am almost 100% sure that I have had a UTI nearly EVERY month for the past 10 months. (I had them frequently as a child, and I know very well what to look for and what they feel like). The last doc (before this ER doc) put me on Macrobid and its supposed to be the best stuff. But i read that Macrobid can actually CAUSE more UTIs if taken more than 1-2 to treat a UTI. Anyways, i didnt have any of the usual symptoms. I am just having trouble accepting the fact that this could have caused this. The thing that gets me is that i even told the nurse who did my history that I have a large history of UTIs and yet they never once tested me before the miscarriage...ugh!

Sorry for the rant, what do you think? Could it be a cause or not? I do NOT want this to happen again.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Sorry Guppy i have absolutely no idea on the topic, hope someone else knows something for you though.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks anyways, SarahMelissa! You've been a BIG help!

The DH and I have both started taking herbal supplements (AZO Cranberry). I have also invested in some home UTI tests. Hopefully the combo can get this rid! And next time I will know for sure that I have a UTI and get it taken care of ASAP. Call me crazy, but i think im gonna take them weekly (at least) when I do get preggo again!
