ttc after a d&c

Doggie, hope your first day back went well.

Thanks, It did go well. No-one really said anything to me and the kids were happy to see me. I thought I was going to cry when I first saw them but held it back. It was nice to stay busy but I miss reading all our posts and relaxing a bit. Work is stressful right now with testing going on and trying to figure out what everyone needs. I hadn't bled for two days and lord behold today I have brown spotting, ugh! Does that mean I am almost done? Hope so so I can look forward to AF and then tww :) it has only been 10 days since m/c so I guess it is in the 2week range for bleeding afterwards.

I read some posts about age. I will be 35 this year, the big year for the drs. to start testing for other things and making you feel that your age is sooo old as far as reproducing goes.

Take care

You are still young! But I know what you mean, they get you all paranoid with these tests. Next time around I will probably do amnio, they actually suggested I do. I am 32 turning 33 this month.
 
Amnio is done during late first trimester correct? I had a test done at 10wks 13.5wks 16wks and then 20wks at twenty weeks is when they gave me any anwsers to all the testing. I understamd whynow but still broke my heart to learn i had to terminate. Ill never have fluid injected out of my next baby after learning of mc risk after it. They have a way to measure the neck and look at fluids since it only tests for down syndrome.n trisimy 21.

Dust ladies seems like many are in tww!! How exciting. Fxd for your appt weds i wish af would just start 100% for you!

:dust:
 
YAY! I finally got a call back! So the RE suspects this constant spotting is indeed my AF. She is having me come in on Wed to do blood work to try to pinpoint my CD1. They want to do the HSG (run dye) this time to check both tubes are clear. Naturally I get off the phone with her and use the restroom only to find a "heavier" drop on my pantyliner! Unless AF rears her full ugly head tonight giving me an official CD1, I'm going in Wednesday. :witch:

Happy Happy b-day Amy!! I only have 1.5 weeks left of being 32 :nope: Try to make this year the best! Hope your bfp comes soon.

Amnio is usually done at about 16 weeks. The test you are talking about 10, 13, and 16, is that the one where they do a blood test, ultrasound (which measures the fluid down the neck and back), then one last blood test? If it was, then that is the Sequential Integrated Screening. I had that test and got totally screwed up after it. I was told from the first blood test, my results came back negative and I had a far less than likely chance of trisomy 18 then most woman my age (32). Then they did the detailed ultrasound (measurements of spinal fluid and other measurements) at 13 weeks and told me that i had a 1 in 100,000 chance of trisomy 18. Last blood test they gave me at 17 weeks. I found out during my mc that my chance of 1 in 100,000 went to 1 in 8 from the last blood test. How is this possible? They can't answer me yet. They told me it is very odd, and that it doesn't happen. I no longer have faith in this test (obviously from my experience). Still haven't got autopsy results, so I don't know what in the word happened to my son or to my pregnancy. So they have already started suggesting me to do an amnio for the next pregnancy. I too am also terrified of being the 1 in 300 who will have a mc. So I am pretty much torn on what to do for next pregnancy.
 
The way i see it is let them do all the screening and blood tests but in my heart i will love my child no matter what so i wont have amino. Its a very touchy choice but u will make the right decision for you when it comes. I just dont want to create any possibility for another loss for myself on my own doing. :hug: as to anwsers i had none either even with autopsy :( they said it just happened and it wasnt chromosomal. We will have our healthy lo just hang in there.

Angel very nice profile pic! Im so glad they are keeping a close watch on you. Hopefully youll have a bfp soon. Thank you also! No symptoms really. Tired but could be normal for me. Tonight for about a minute i had strange stomach sensation through entire stomach and it followed with light cramping on right side then disappeared. Came out of no where. Fine now. I feel out and emotional. Either way this wait for this cycle is by far the worse. Ill be testing in 6-7 days if i can hold out or af doesnt arrive. Guess time will tell..so hard to have patience. Oh. One last symptom i usually get with af my (.)(.) are sensitive and i feel im imagining they are bigger. Our minds can be our worse enemy...

:dust: we indeed need some bfps on this thread soon!!

Bethany miss you :hugs: <3

I just read up on amnio, according to some articles the mc rate of amnio is much higher than they let on. I dont know if this is true, but either way I am not taking the risk. I'm extremely paranoid because my 6 year old has special needs, from a combination of damage during the birth and maybe genetics. She is very intellectually smart, but she suffers from bipolar/ocd/adhd combination. I home school her, and it is a struggle everyday. So i am so scared that my next child will also have mental illness, but there are no tests to find that out anyways. And on the patience thing, well we just bd last night and I want to be pregnant so badly that even though it is physically impossible for me to even be anywhere near pregnant yet, I feel like i am pregnant already.lol. So I am extremely impatient, don't know what in the world I am gonna do. I feel for you on the waiting, it is HARD. Hope you get your bfp this month!
 
Thanks Jen and Amy. They want to do HSG (run dye) between CD7-12 and do cycle monitoring CD12-14, so dating :witch: arrival is important.

Jen, I know I've said it before, but again...my heart goes out to you, well each of you. I am glad we have each other to get through this. Any symptoms for you? (I hope I didn't miss a page!)

Amy I forgot to say I hope colleaguezilla was on her best behavior for you!

Lol. She actually got me a nice small gift which I thought was nice but she was in a mood today. She is going to Europe in two weeks so maybe she is just really in need of this vacation. Idk but I hope she comes back without the attitude:cry: the gift she got me was a book what to expect when you're expecting. I actually wanted to get this book but was going to wait until I was pg t get it. None the less it was nice of her :flower:

Hope you all have a wonderful evening and thanks again for the bay wishes! :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
:hug: im very very sorry about your dd. My aunt has 4 special needs children and one has doen syndrome so even though he is 7 he acts like a 2yr old and will be in diapers his whole life. I know they have many issues and idk how my aunt and uncle raise them on there own without help. They are amazing. So are you! Its incredible that your able to care for your child. Anyways i just wanted to say they there fifth child (the youngest). Came out perfectly normal though testing sad different. She is a doll and gets my aunt through the day. She is 5 now. Also my 4yr old nephee was said to have a disorder and almost terminated the pregnancy he to is perfectly normal. These choices are extremely hard to make but i believe eachone of us know what we can handle and whats best for you. Your next child could be perfect so have faith! :hugs:

Amy i love that book! Its great! So glad you have it now :) it was very nice of her! Hopefully her vaca makes her come back relaxed and easier to work with and youll be able to share good news with her! I take it as a sign your bfp will happen!!!
 
Morning all! Hope youre all well? Good luck again with all the BFPS we are hoping to get this week/month!

Well i did an opk yesterday mornin negative, yesterday afternoon at 2pm, positive, one this morning positive, will be doing another one at 2 pm .... BIt hard to believe since its only CD9 but would make logical sense considering my last pregnancy if i were to ovulate earlier than i think i do...

Or i could be gearing up to ovulate and then dont for another few days ( my chart says fertile period is in five days so god knows)

Either way plenty of BDing i think, might jus go into the 2ww from my estimated fertile day just to be safe and not get any disheartening BFNs ... WOrk today (GRR) Cant be bothered, i cant concentrate at work when all im focused on is TTC TTC TTC xxxx
 
brought a first response today dunno why just couldnt resist and got :bfn: now i feel really low :cry: it was a pack of 2 so will do the other one on sat with first pee of the day to be 100% sure but looks like im waiting for :witch: to appear and will be back on the countdown to ovulation. FX someone else gets a :bfp: this month need some good news x
 
I hope you get your BFP !! So youre in the 2ww?
See i have no idea, im starting to think ( hopeful thinking probably but i just rang the triage nurse and she said it sounds likely ) that i ovulate a week before i think i do, did you read my previous posts about my opk and previous pregnancy etc? xxx

lots o people ovulate around day 14 but some ov eraly nad some late so u r most likely one of hte ones who Ov early. the key to gettin preg is to know when u Ov so u have a great shot now hon xxxxx
espeacially after a loss it can change the time u Ov temporaily .xx
 
Happy Monday ladies! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY! :hugs: All of this talk about BFPs puts a smile on my face! I am certainly cheering for you all! :happydance:

I am waiting to hear back from the Dr's nurse today...I caved and called because I am STILL dealing with this pseudo-AF. Today makes day 5 that she has been lingering, but no whoosh, here I am! :witch: And exactly 2 weeks ago I got a BFN...I just don't want to miss my O IF this is indeed the real thing (just coming light and lasting forever). I'll probably start using my OPKs tomorrow (I have heaps of the cheapies).

Danni, I vote you test Thursday, that makes CD28, right? You'll be testing same time as Laura and Jen if I am not mistaken. :af:

Jessica, it is interesting my RE references my age because my regular Gyno was 36 with her first and 38 with her second...she never expressed concerns. One would think a RE would be sensitive with the age thing seeing as 1/2 of her clients are advance maternal age <---I really hate that label! :growlmad:

hey if its exactly 2 weeks after ur bfn, then it sounds like it might be real af and not pseudo babe. 5 days of light sounds like could be af. my first was only 2 days spotting, one day bleeding. and i usually have way more than that. i rang my odc loads o times after d and c if i was worried about anything, im lucky htey dont seem to mind :)
lots testing this weekend so, we surely get one or two bfps , if not all :) xx
