The LTTTC thread for everyone.

I hope you guys are right. I do regret the earlier scan. Even though I was warned there wouldn't be much to see, that empty sac has haunted me!

Yep, it's like PTSD for the infertile. I can't even imagine someone with a history of losses. You'd want to pull some teeth out or something just to distract yourself. It must be like walking on eggshells.

Yep that pretty much sums it up, thinking you would never get something, getting it, spending all your time being terrified it will be ripped away. It's exhausting! I have a new respect for the strength of ladies that have had losses.

I always thought this too Jen until I had the losses and I realized fear of the unkown is much worse. I have learned very quickly that you accept it and move on I always thought I'd be devestated beyond words but I just accepted it and got on with thingsI still fear things but the only difference now is I know I'll be ok

Crystal I love you girl...you are he who gave me hope that it could happen after soooo many years

Yes and no on the DHEA ...I've been taking it off and on since lady Oct or Nov but I hadn't taken it since early June. However it is supposed to stay in your system

I really think this is because of the fewer follicle count and the tricking the body thing last month

 

[Milty]

Oh I did test again and sent the pic to Liz ...but she is having snuggle time


Oh and just FYI I thought I was texting Liz but I actually texted my DH and told him to enjoy snuggle time

Which was almost as good as earlier today...in the middle of a conference I had somehow unlocked my phone and face time filled my sister...it was great she answered hello how come you are face timming me I thought you were out of town...do you have a sunburn??? That's when I got it cut off

 

[crystal443]

I think it was your last cycle as well, wow hey if that's all it was going to take!! Will you need to go on progesterone or anything? I think your body just needed to be reminded Thank goodness for that cyst now!!

Another Festivus Miracle

I think we LTTTCers give the TTCers a run for their money

awww snuggle time for Liz!! If that were one of us she'd have the police banging down the door to see the test

I laughed when I read you face timed your sister in a conference

 

[Milty]

Ohh my phone was on vibrate but since it was face time it was really load

 

[Milty]

Ok I've sent Liz a portfolio ...

 

[H0pefulagain]

Okay, Lizzzz!!! Snuggle time is up! Chop chop! We neeeed to see the portfolio!

 

[Milty]

Of course you guys know what this means...

I get to post Liz BFP pics

 

[LLbean]

lol it was TV time...not snuggle time lol

here you go ladies but first...Jennifer01...keeping my best thoughts for your scan tomorrow!!!!!!

 

[H0pefulagain]

Question for yall....

Right before and the first day or two of a new cycle, I get a headache and what feels like a fever but never registers as such on a thermometer. My head aches like a sinus or major stress headache and sometimes it becomes a migraine. My "fever" that isn't an actual fever leaves my skin literally very warm to the touch, both to myself and others who may touch me. But if I take my temp, I am not running an actual fever. Tylenol will take the edge off it but it never makes it stop. This also is now happening after I ovulate.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did you ever find out what was going on with your body?

 

[LLbean]

and one more

 

[Milty]

Same thing right??

By the way it's all the same test I'm just trying to capture the best hotel lighting

 

[Milty]

That sounds kinda like Peace with headaches and rashes...

 

[H0pefulagain]

I don't get rashes, but my skin itches a LOT if I'm not busy doing something. Not one place in particular either...just intermittent and irritating itching and I always expect to find a rash but there isn't any.

Does Peace know the cause of hers?

 

[Milty]

Yes immunitity issues ...that's why Crystal and her are on the steroids and baby aspirin and one more I can't spell

 

[LLbean]

ok played with a few of the takes...here you go

 

[crystal443]

Milty- I can def see a line in photo4 and photo6:Thumbup: I think its lighting and angle in the others that make it hard to see There's no doubt there's a line there by the time you get home to hubby it should be darker or you could just do a digi and hand it to him


H0peful- I did get headaches at O and AF every month like clockwork and I do get low grade fevers etc at this time of month too. Milty is right so does Peace, now with DHEA it cut the headaches back along with the intensity of the pain DHEA works as a mild steriod, not the same as Prednisone but in a different way and FS said he's still not sure how exactly it works so well for some women SInce I've been on Prenisolone I haven't had a migraine with AF this month if that helps

I also get eczema around O and AF, achy joints and just not feeling well in general Have you been tested for anything before? I know Peace will tell you this but if you think you may have immunity problems then Is Your Body Baby Friendly by Dr.Alan Beers is a must read. very eye opening

 

[crystal443]

I def see the lines Milty you must be soooo excited or still in shock?

 

[H0pefulagain]

Liz & Milty, it so tickles me to see the pics! Thank you so much for sharing them!!

I'm starting to suspect my progesterone level is not where it should be. The new monitor we got is indicating such although the testing done not quite a year ago did not show such. Now I'm worried. I've miscarried 6 times and auto-immune issues run heavy in our family (3 children with chronic illness that is an auto-immune disease and they are our only biological children).
