The BFP Before The 'Would Of Been' Due Date Thread - Any Joiners?

[armymama2012]

I'm sorry Kerri. I will be praying for you.

I'm sorry Kelly. I understand the feeling. I miss my son every day. Sometimes I dream about him but that is rare lately.

My daughter's birthday went well. Not a large party but enough for her to enjoy it. Daniel's birthday party is in 13 days and it will be even smaller because of our money being tight.

Daniel has an infected rash on his neck so he is on some heavy antibiotics for the next 9 days.

Thanks army. Nice to hear your DD's party went well.

AF is due today. I have never had a test this dark. Stick baby stick!

Yeah it sucks. At this point I'm just waiting for the D&C so it can be over and so I have something to look forward to again. Life really is unfair.

it sure is honey.

I still have hcg in my system nearly 3 weeks later. Ugh. Had blood taken yesterday should get the results sometime today. Really want to be at zero soon so I can ovulate already. Ugh.

 

[3xBlessed]

Kelly with my first miscarriage I still had enough hcg to produce a positive pregnancy test for almost 8 weeks! I hope it goes down quickly for you!

 

[Kelly9]

Oh gosh that better not happen. With a D&C I'd think not! My Levels were at 25 yesterday so I expect when I get my blood redrawn next Tuesday they'll be below 5. I hope so anyway.

 

[3xBlessed]

I had a D&c with my first miscarriage, I thought the same...that it would drop faster! Strangely enough it dropped super fast with my third miscarriage that I let happen naturally. Sounds like yours is on its way down so my fingers are crossed you ovulate soon!

 

[Kelly9]

It's going down for sure. Apparently your lining can build with hcg in your system and you can ovulate when the number reach 5 or below so hopefully this means I won't have to wait as long to ovulate.

 

[girlinyork]

My first AF was seven weeks after the d&c. On Valentines day. Oh joy

 

[Kelly9]

That's what I would expect a period 6-8 weeks after D&C but I would ovulate two weeks prior to that. I'm 3 weeks post tomorrow and will do another ic hpt. Hopefully it'll be negative without a squinter.

So I am having very sharp pain in my left ovary. Not sure if its another ruptured/leaking cyst or if I'm actually ovulating. I just took my last 3 ovulation tests (they were a bit old) and for the first time since Daniel was born there is a very clear line on them. The line is only half as dark as the control line. For the heck of it I also checked my CM and cervical position. CM was creamy and cervix is low, hard, and closed. Does this mean I already ovulated? The last time we had sex was 9 days ago. I have been randomly checking my CM and it was creamy 10 days ago.

 

[Kelly9]

Maybe? Hard to tell cause all the normal symptoms aren't there or were missed. But it's not uncommon to have O type symptoms randomly without O'ing if you haven't ovulated or had a cycle yet post partum.

I would like to join in with you all if that's ok. My husband and I tried for over two years and just when I'd given up hope I fell pregnant. I found out at 13 weeks that the baby's heart stopped beating at 9w 3d. It was crushing for us. I had a d & c at 14 weeks and I'm now on CD 11 after the D & C. Our due date was 12/22. I am due to see a perinatologist in August to be sure there is nothing going on. Having some women to talk to would be a blessing at this time. No one in my family understands. My sister's baby is 2 months old and they are constantly tagging me in photos of her. It just breaks my heart and I know they don't mean anything by it but they don't understand. I was told to wait until after seeing the perinatologist before trying but I know if my body is ready it will happen so I'm not waiting.

So sorry for your loss I wish we could press the delete button on the whole possibility of miscarriage!

I understand completely how is so hard to have a little baby around when you battling and even worse when you have just suffered a loss. I hope they find that it was chromosomal and that there is nothing wrong with you. I agree if the body is ready it will fall, and being your first loss there is no reason to say it will ever happen again.

This thread is very quiet but we on another thread babyandbump.momtastic.com/ttc-after-loss/1968297-ttc-after-d-c-soon-226.html#post33131629 which is active.

thinking about you

 

[armymama2012]

Sorry I've been quiet lately. Packing for a vacation with the family on the beach. I also started a beachbody month long challenge that is short but tough 3x a week.

Well my body has tried unsuccessfully to ovulate 2x last month and it looks like it is going to try again in a few days. I'm at the point that I wish AF would just show up so I can start temping and really know what is going on. We are unofficially TTC now but the official TTC wont be until October if we arent pregnant by then.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[munchy]

Hey guys, sorry to butt in after so long.
My rainbow baby, Dexter Axl was born on the 21st of April 2014 at 36w+5d weighing 7lb 8oz, one week before the anniversary of my miscarriage.
He is a dream.

 

[girlinyork]

He is gorgeous. Congratulations

 

[3xBlessed]

Congrats Munchy! He's adorable!

Hi Army! Good for you starting a workout like that! Exciting!

And yay for being back on the TTC train! Exciting!

AFM - I've realized I'm not dealing as well with all of this like I thought I was. I can run and exercise until the cows come home but the sadness never goes away. I have come to the conclusion I'm pretty depressed. I still function just fine and will continue to do so but am having way too many breakdowns over things lately (new pregnancies in very close core group) and just an overall truly sad feeling that I decided to get some help. I called my doc today to get info on "infertility counseling" where it ONLY focuses on that and I called and made my first appointment. It is July 28 after work so hopefully it helps! They are also going to call in a script for me I think to help get me "balanced" before September rolls around and we are back on medicated cycles, etc. So...that's the scoop on me. I'm still happy Danielle...with a side of infertility depression. :-/ My docs office was so nice and sweet. She told me this was very normal especially after 3 years of dealing with this and 3 losses under our belts and NOTHING to show for it. So at least that made me feel better. So I'm doing something about it and I hope it works. I'm tired of feeling this way every time I see a baby belly or hear a baby story or see a baby post. It sucks. I don't want to feel jealous anymore. I do, however, don't think that will go away until I'm posting about my own miracle.
