Hi All,

I just made my first post in this forum on a new thread, but this one applies to me, too, so I'll introduce myself.

I'm 18 days shy of 35, have been TTC since May, and just had my first BFP and early loss in the past few weeks. I think I'm now CD1 of my first post-m/c cycle, which I guess puts me back officially in the TTC category (from Limbo Hell). I'm f***ing petrified, so am really hoping to find good support from old biddies like myself who have also had a loss. My doctor was shockingly unsympathetic, and the local miscarriage support group meets the same weeknight on which I teach, so you ladies are it for me!

Good luck to everyone here-those TTC and those with BFPs!

Hi and welcome
I am so sorry for your loss .
It's a very hard thing to deal with and stays with you for such a long time!
You will find lots of support here xxx

AFM...

my buddy at work who is six days ahead of me in her pregnancy seems to be miscarrying. she is 39 but has an eighteen month old son. I'm trying to stay positive but it's tough.

 

[purplelou]

good morning ladies

I hope Thursday is going to be a good one for us all! (although when I woke up first thing, I was SURE it was Friday...so that's a bit pooh!)

huge bingo-wings (cos I have them!! (thats flappy upper arms in case you're not sure)) to you all xxxxx

 

[Asryellah]

Grkprn - ugh what you are going through must be so tormenting, but I really pray and hope you'll get good news from doc


DrH& LilS - I also have a friend in local ttc-forum and she has been TTC for 1,5 yrs also doing OPK's AND temping and everything always looked like she is ovulating - well surprise when she went to get the bloods..shes not ovulating! There is a syndrome called for that, cannot remember what its called my gyn also thought once I had it but then changed her mind as my bloods were confirmed. I think it was unruptured follicle syndrome (?)

Dash- October is right around the corner girl!! So bring on IVF huh (can you do a happydance? But I mean good plan hun!!)
And go on and munch on those dark chockolate peanuts - YUMMYHEAVEN!!!

Manu

So happy to read your post!!! I am sooo thrilled for you Happy and healthy 9 months love

to you all lovely ladies "old" and new

AFM - doing good, just started yoga ...ommmmmmm.. just had terrible gas problems that night that I didn't enjoy it so much

 

[drhouse]

bugger. baby and bump. you ate my post. anyway take 2.

asry thanks for the kind words, i hope Im ovulating - i did after stopping the pill day 5 (confirmed on USS) after I had those shitty amh results. My RE thinks I am now too. Who knows. I am using the US thermometer, as I bought it on line. never had a F degrees before cf. celcius not used to it. You will have to be gentle with this Charting newbie.

Thanks Dash for your words of support. Im really excited about your IVF and yoga and all the wonderful things you do on this journey.

Asry, purpls, manu, lady H, pad - hugs hugs!!!! Seven is lucky miss pad!

Manu - I love your blog. Its wonderful.. What a great way to remember how things happen.

Grkprn, I'm thinking of you. NO MORE GOOGLE. you do not have an ectopic or a mole!! What will be will be. As I type it sounds trite and I don't mean it to be. You have got pregnant! The baby will chose what happens next. There is nothing more you can do. Please look after your self this is a really tricky time.

pbl welcome!!!

I used a soft cup for the first time. Weird. Well if DH and I did want a shag just in case after my temp went up today (can't understand this charting sh*te) ten mins before work then I wanted to make sure that the swimmers knew which way to go!!!!!!!! Not as bad as it could be.

mirium hope you got news.

Owl, am gutted for you... Hugs hugs hugs. bummer bugger.. balderdash!@!!!

all other ladies... hugs hugs... baby dust...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[purplelou]

DrH - I think with charting, it doesn't much matter if you do F's or C's (iykwim) either way you will see the temp rise after Ov

 

[owl35]

pad - thinking pink for you!

purps - Oh I hate it when I wake up and I believe it's already a day later than it really is! What a letdown! When that happens I want to cry for a brief moment...

DrH - I tried the soft cups for a month too. I didn't really care for them. I didn't feel them but it was always kind of weird taking them out. Once I guess it was sucked pretty tightly in there and it made a popping sound when I took it out like when opening a champagne bottle or something. Weird! DH was like - hey what are we celebrating? just kidding...

AFM - after I stayed home from work yesterday and pumped myself full with sinus medicine, I finally feel some improvement today. Yay! I have beta test tomorrow, but I already know the outcome. I'm getting very discouraged about the whole IUI thing. DH and I are now at the point where we basically think that we will end up doing IVF. So we have to switch insurance in October and then beginning of next year, we'll do IVF. Until then, we'll just keep doing IUIs and hope for the best. I am a little freaked out about IVF though, because it's basically the last stage and what if that doesn't work either? Then what? Do any of you IVF ladies out there have the same fear?

 

[padbrat]

DrH you sound so Brit! It cracks me up! I also think it doesn't matter if you do c or f... FF will adjust, you need to tell it though lol.

You could always try my method of getting preggers.... get really pished and have hangover sex... even worked this time for me!

Wait wait wait... I am joking ladies.. this is not the advice to follow.... I am not responsible for your livers! LOL

Drh I so hope you are right and no 7 is lucky. It has been a long hard path.

Owl pleased you are feeling better x

Grk... how did you do?

Purps... the same thing happened to me... I was convinced it was Fri.. wishful thinking I guess.

Heyya Asry! I have the same gas problem! Oppsie!

Hey LadyH. Bad news is awful... doesn't mean it will happen to you though x

Pbl_ge – welcome to our humble thread I am so sorry for your loss. Many of us have gone thru such things & you can see by my siggie, I’ve had my fair share, so I know how you feel. You can’t let it scare you though as RMC only happens to 1% of us (I am just lucky, I guess ) but a lot of other women on here have suffered 1 or 2 mc’s & have gone on to have very healthy babies. The chances really increase w/age unfortunately, so its just one of things we have to endure. We’ll help you along .


Butterfinger – you are doing yoga too? Great minds think alike! I just tried a Yoga Core + Barre class today & I think that was perfect for me as (a) works the core (mine sux) & (b) the barre takes a lot of pressure off of you with holding poses & such since you can use it to stabilize (less chances of hurting yourself). I have been trying diff classes trying to find the right one, so I will try more, but if you find something great for your back, let me know too

Dash – I keep trying to find remedies for the crazies, it’s just nothing is working . Still going to reiki every Wed (almost) & all of you ladies who requested are still on my list! An update: 8 out of 14 LTTC & RMC ladies are preggers – within the last 8 months. And that’s not counting me as I keep jumping on & off that bandwagon. And if you aren’t preggers, you are getting loving, healing energy anyway, dammit! Good luck with telling your MIL – I hope that maybe by confiding these private things to her, she will understand & behave herself A journal would be great for you! It will probs help a lot as you are going thru IVF as well, I say Just Do It!


Owl – did you fly down here to FL in the middle of the night & give DH & I your cold? DH got it 2 days ago & I just started about 3 hours ago, crap! I’m so sorry about the BFN Glad you are starting to feel better from stupid cold tho. I took some Zicam & double Emergen-C as soon as I knew it wasn’t just allergies… So you can just switch insurance & they will pay for IVF after just a couple months waiting??? I guess it dpends on the company & pre-ex clauses, etc. I may have to look into doing that myself (if it’s even possible) this Dec…???

LadyH –

Spoiler

Don’t you get sad or think that’s going to happen to you, young lady! You’ve fought for this soooo long, so you just have to have a sticky fighter in there!

Purps – thanks for the education, re: bingo-wings & thanks for bingo-wing hugs! Don’t worry honey – just 1 more day til Friday!

Asry – Wow, that’s good to know about the syndrome – there’s always going to be something that bucks the system!

Spoiler

OMG, I can’t believe you are almost to double-digits!!!

DrH – Don’t worry honey, like Purps said, it only matters when there’s a temp shift. And the first month FF is getting to know you, so the next months will be easier as you’ll have predicted Ov dates & AF (hopefully not) dates, etc. Never understood what the soft cup does, is it just something to plug you up afterwards to keep the swimmers “up there”?

Pad – I may have to try your method this month! I think I’ve been way to good – it’s not working! Although I take my hat off to you as I could never do it during a hangover Drunken is one thing, but hangover ? You are a very brave girl!

Dwrgi –if lurking

everyone else! Hope you are all having a great day!

AFM – getting a nasty cold, but bombarding it w/everything I have right out the gate. It's not taking me down without a fight! But despite that, great reiki circle gave me wonderful energy last night & then tried a diff yoga class this morning so I’ve been high as a kite ever since last night. It's sort-of an odd feeling - sick & energy high at the same time? Well, back to the grind -just can’t wait to get off so I can ahhhhh....

 

[LilSluz]

GreekPorn - stopped in to check on you. Are you OK?

 

[grkprn]

Hi ladies -- well, here we go -- first of all, I've sworn off Google (for the time being and for my well-being!).

Spoiler

Second, the ultrasound went as follows: They found a gestational sac, but it's abnormally shaped. There was a very small yolk sac, but no fetal pole. They said it didn't look well for the GA of the pregnancy? I'm getting a follow up US on Saturday, but the RE said it didn't look good. I probably won't be going to my RE's office anymore, instead following up with my OBGYN that I've known for 6 years. The RE's office mistakenly put on my report that the yolk sac measured 27mm ?? That is HUGE. At least double the size of the gestational sac. And they said I was on Clomid, which I'm not. I've already made a call to the office to notify them of their mistake. I wouldn't have known, but my sweet OBGYN called me and said, "What is up with the HUGE yolk sac?" He also said that they expect to see a fetal pole or embryo by 6-7 weeks, and I'm right at that stage. Also, my biggest fibroid is pushing up against the gestational sac, which is probably making it misshapen. Anyhow....I'm thinking positive thoughts and what will be, will be.

Also, Pbl_ge -- Welcome!

Sorry I don't have more to say, but I'm pretty mentally drained at the moment. I'll pop back on when I have more energy and read through all the posts. Thanks again for all the and ...

LilS, I just searched for some stuff on my Sky TV channels and found 'yoga for back pain' and recorded it Yes I think you should have lots of - butterfingers (that is me a lot of the time )

That sounds positive that things have at least progressed to having a yolk sac so I will also keep positive thoughts for you as this sounds like good news

I swear it wasn't me! I wouldn't give that cold to my worst enemy - oh wait can have it!!! Tylenol Sinus was the rescue for me!
DH and I are insured through my employer and the health insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments. But the health insurance my husband's employer offers does cover it. It's more expensive per month for us but in the end, it's worth switching to cover the costs for IVF. So maybe you also have the option to switch to DH's insurance? Might be worth looking into.

Grkprn -

I think that is great news! This sounds very positive to me. I keep my fingers crossed for you that you'll have a healthy pregnancy coming up
