Ttc #1 Positive thinking buddies, sticking together. (13 BFPs, 2 angels)

[Michellebelle]

Back to TTC for me. Started heavy spotting today and they did an ultrasound and the sac is deflating. I could see it on the screen. so I'm having a d&c on Monday morning. Sad, but since we knew this was a likely possibility, I'm feeling okay. I'd rather it happen now than several weeks down the road. We will wait a cycle, then can try again and hopefully it happens quickly!

 

[TinyLynne]

Oh Michelle! I'm so sorry for your loss it is horrible regardless of if it was expected or not. Allow yourself to be upset if you need to, it's ok. Take care of yourself and I hope you will get your baby soon.

 

[hanrh]

Oh Michelle I'm so sorry. I agree with tiny, please allow yourself to be sad and grieve. And make sure you look after yourself. I can completely understand where u r coming from about wanting to try again ASAP tho. I hope all of your doctors are being extra supportive.

hugs all around.

Hey ladies can I jump in I would love to have some positive friends on here while TTC. Little back ground have been on BC for 2 years, actively trying for 13 cycles now. Waiting on getting the results back from my DH's SA (fingers crossed!) and finally this cycle my doctor put in orders for me to get my 21 day labs this cycle.

Trying really hard to stay positive I was so sure last cycle was it but moving on and looking at the bright side.

Michelle - I really hope your ultrasound today gives good news. Sending lots of good vibes your way!

 

[hanrh]

Swimmy - nice to see you over here. This is definitely the place to come for positive thinking. These ladies have helped me through a very hard year!

 

[Michellebelle]

My d&c today went well. Now I'm just in bed recooperating. It feels good to have it done with and have that closure.

 

[swimmyj1]

Michellebelle - I'm sorry you get plenty of rest I'm glad you found some closure with it.

SA came back today not good and we are being referred to a specialist finally ... i'm trying very hard not to play any blame game but my DH has brought up a few times now that I should just be with someone now because he's not going to give us kids. Any suggestions?

 

[hanrh]

Michelle so glad that your d and c went well. I know I've said it before but make sure you make time for yourself. Are you able to have much time off work to recover?

Oh swimmy I'm sorry about your results. Has the doc who did them suggested anything? I would imagine that your dh feels like his masculinity is being questoined in light of the results - he doesn't really want you with someone else! Make sure you talk to each other about how you are feeling. I have read lots of success stories about certain male conception vitamins - does he take any? I make my hubby take one pregnacare for conception for men tablet every evening and I've definitely found it easier to conceive since (whether that's a factor or not I'm not sure?!). When will you be able to see the specialist?

 

[laura2lyn4]

Michelle I am so sorry!!! Just remember that this cycle you WERE able to conceive!! It doesn't always work Out unfortunately but you did make a tiny baby and the next one will Be healthier and strong!!

Welcome, Swimmy! So sorry to hear about your husbands SA :/ definitely be there to support him through all he is going through, maybe you can do extra special things for him to let him know you love him regardless and you will find a way to work through things. Make him a special dinner, get his favorite movie, maybe surprise him with tickets to a sports game?? Fx a specialist will be able to provide some help for you!

Hanrh does it look like maybe you had a small temp rise? Can't wait for your O day!

 

[TinyLynne]

Sorry to hear Swimmy, but there are still options. I'm sure he does just feel bad, though he shouldn't, he didn't cause it, and it doesn't make him less of a man. I hope the specialist can see you soon to get you on the right path to baby.

 

[hanrh]

Laura yes I think I might have ovulated yesterday as temp
Is going up. However it's hard to tell as temps were all over the place at the beginning of the month due to the mc. Got my peak on my monitor tho!! Yay!! Just off to make myself a pineapple core smoothie!

 

[laura2lyn4]

Yes!! Gotta get that in!

 

[hanrh]

Haha!!
Oh I forgot to ask, did you find out the sex yet?

 

[TinyLynne]

Mmmmm pineapple!!! Yay for peaks! I love seeing that egg on the monitor, it's an excitement booster for sure! Good luck to you!

We have decided to take this cycle off from ttc, and then start femara or clomid next cycle.

 

[laura2lyn4]

I got my blood drawn yesterday, they said it takes 7-10 days after that to find out. I'll
Probably pick up the results in an envelope so DH and I can look together, and then in a few weeks have a gender reveal party for family/friends

Tiny that sounds like a solid idea, that might be just what you need to get a strong little squishy!!

 

[Loobs]

Michelle, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss Baby fought a hard battle!

Swimmy, welcome! This thread is full of awesome ladies, their support is amazing. Sorry the SA results weren't great, your poor DH must be going through a horrible process at the moment. Hope they're able to suggest something for you!

Hanrh, your chart is looking good! Got some good timing there!

x

 

[hanrh]

Tiny - that sounds like a good idea hope that it's the winning formula for you!!!

Laura I love the idea of a gender reveal! Have you any ideas on how you might do it?

Yay hello loobs! Wow 30 weeks already!!!!

FF has picked up ovulation for me so I am 3dpo today! Yay!! Hoping so much that it's a good cycle!!

 

[TinyLynne]

Good luck Hanrh! Let the wait begin! Lots of prayers to you!!

 

[swimmyj1]

Good luck hanrh!!! Hoping this month you get a BFP your chart looks great!

Loobs - can't wait to hear when you find out

looking forward a little bit for my labs stinks they are 2 weeks away lol. me and DH had a good talk and we decieded that we are going to wait see how my labs are then if they are good he's going to keep using the fertilaid and see if we can increase his count for another 6 months and what not. if not then we will head to the specialist. feeling better that we have a game plan lol.
