TTC a Rainbow Baby & Looking for March BD Madness Buddies!

[babysteps007]

Hi ladies,

My husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first child after two cycles of trying. I had a short luteal phase of around 10 days since coming off the pill, so I used Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and Pre-Seed the cycle we conceived. It was the happiest time of our life. Such simple, beautiful happiness. Everything seemed perfect.

We found out at our 12 week NT scan that our baby's organs (including the heart) were not inside the body. Doctors gave us no chance for viability. While they are running tests that will come in four months or more, they think it was a "fluke". Had a D&C on January 22nd. It was the worst day of our lives. How can you go from such vibrant happiness to such sorrow in a matter of seconds?

I am trying to heal, but I can't help but be hit with a huge surge of sadness every time I see a baby clothing store, a stroller, a pregnant woman (I can't help but check out women's bellies now - it's an addiction and the only thing I see). I yearn for the pregnancy symptoms I no longer have.

We tried right away after the D&C - the doctor said there was no medical reason not to try, but did suggest waiting once cycle. I got a negative HPT 20 days after the procedure. Ovulated 6 days after and got my period 7 days later. My period was the worst I've ever had. I hope that's a sign that my body has cleansed itself and will hopefully regulate everything. Maybe even give me a longer luteal phase.

Now I'm on CD #6 and looking for some buddies who will be BDing their brains out in March! I need a lot of positivity, but also welcome venting!

I'm so sorry for what you've been through, my heart breaks for you and your husband. I miscarried at 11 weeks so never quite made it to the 12 week scan, and am just finishing my first af (like you, we did try last month but no luck). So March is going to be a 'busy' month for us too! I'd love to be buddies, I have my opk's and pre-seed ready to go!

Hi ladies, sorry for your losses. I won't go into too much detail, you can see from my tickers my losses. As for my latest one, I got bfp's Sunday and Monday, then practically nothing on further tests today. Just awaiting af to show now, feels imminent. Hopefully my cycle will just crack on as normal and back to it. Xx

Sorry for your loss, we lost our baby boy at 16 weeks because of a neural tube defect, awful time, and even though he'll always be apart of our lives. We have been trying again after being on folic acid for the last 3/4 months.

My AF is due today so far no sign and only bfn but I have a positive sign about this. (Thursday would have been our lost boys due date) so I'm hoping it's a bfp and our angel is sending us a sign.

I think when your ready you will know, so good luck and keeping everything crossed for us all.

So nice to meet you all, though I wish none of us had to be in the this part of the forums.

How is March BD Madness coming along? I'm so very eagerly awaiting my O - hopefully within the next day or two...or three. I'm on CD #14 - but I usually O on CD #16. Which would would mean exactly on my 20 week mark. 7 weeks after losing our little one. It has to be a good and bittersweet sign, right? We will get our rainbow! Please, please, please, please! I've been so positive since AF came and I saw my OBGYN, but now I'm feeling really exhausted of trying to smile and work out and go to work and act normal. What else is there to do, but keep moving forward, right?

Of course, I've scared myself now into worrying about MTHFR gene mutations - something my naturopath suggested I get checked out for. It makes me want to run to my doctor and the lab right away as I am on 5 mg folic acid, which should be good and more than enough, but if you have that issue you need a special kind of folate. I hope I'm just scaring myself and that everything is okay.

Let's all get our Rainbow BFPs!

Sorry for your loss! I mc January 28th 2016 at 7weeks (stopped growing 6weeks 2days). Natural mc. It was really tough as I was excited to see that little heart beat at my 7wk ultrasound.

Well this is my second month ttc. I think I am 4dpo (I used clearblue advanced opk, and cheap line tests) but had some conflicting smiley face vs lines. So I am either 4dpo clear blue or according to line opk 2dpo. Anyway looking for some support during the tww. Last month I drove myself crazy!

TTC #3

HI! 42 year old..I m/c on 2/28/16 trying for #3. I was only 6 weeks and it happened naturally but sucked nonetheless. I'm on cd 11 so hoping to O in the next few days!

 

[babysteps007]

Here for you ladies going through the TWW! I'm on CD #20 and still no LH surge or temperature spike. I really, really hope it happens soon. I'm terrified that we'd had such a great lead-up with BDing and eating healthy and not drinking and exercising and that we'll be slapped in the face with an anovulary cycle. Please pray for my ovaries. Let them release as many eggs as possible, lol. I'll take triplets over no baby.
