No worries Brooke, I hope this helps. The HPT on the bottom (which is the really light one) was done the day before the one on the top.

Sorry about the BFN Kate but I am glad you had a nice time, welcome back!

 

[Brookegarrett]

Thanks mon... I am feelin very doubtful about gettin a bfp... I figure I'm out again this month.. We won't get to try again until September... I hope u all r enjoyin ur day... Sorry Kate about the bfn

 

[Mon_n_john]

Did you test again today Brooke?

 

[kgriffin]

thanks ladies
mon - is this your bfp!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mon_n_john]

I so wish Kate. That was my positive from June. I miscarried 2 days later.

Brooke just wanted to see what a really early positive looks like on the internet cheapies.

I do have my appt. with my specialist tomorrow morning. I'll let you all know what she says tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Good luck Brooke! You should be able to do a hpt in a few days right?

Kate - glad you had some fun. Sorry it is till a BFN - but you're still testing early aren't you?

Welcome Collie. I'm sorry to hear of your loss - you were much farther along than I was with both of mine. It must be very hard on you.

Thanks ladies for your words of wisdom about DH and I. I was so frustrated that night! I know he really wants a baby too and sometimes it is hard to be in the mood- so I've let it go, he's not intentionally sabotaging it. We were able to BD last night - I believe I'm on CD 10-11. So by the cycle days if we get in lots of BD this week we should have a good chance this month. I just hope I'm Oing during this week and that it didn't already happen last week. I still seem to have some CM (although not as much as before) and I'm still having some twinges. A lot of times I can feel when I O. But I've just had weird feelings this whole month so far - so it is making it hard for me to tell what is going on for sure. We did talk a bit about it and I think he'll be on board for every other day this week if he's home. I want it to catch an eggie - I hope his work schedule will cooperate!!!

Thanks for the welcome ladies!

Not sure what is happening with your OPKs. I think the best time to do an OPK is between 2-8pm (and try to do it around the same time each day). Have you done another pregnancy test yet to confirm its negative? Did your Dr give you any advice around TTC again? And were they able to give you a reason why you miscarried in the second trimester?

Yes, I have had a few negative pregnancy tests now. My levels must have fallen really quickly because I was getting negatives after just 2 weeks but I dont know if the levels fall quicker because you have given birth

Our doctors never said anything about trying again. So I'm taking that to mean we dont have to wait! My GP said they normally recommend one cycle but that is just for dating purposes. Our daughter had a choromosome disorder called Turner Syndrome that caused her lots of problems - too many for her to cope with unfortunately. However, the good news (ha!) is that it isnt something that should happen again we dont have an increased risk or anything, they dont really know why it happens its just 'one of those things'

Still only slight lines on OPKs... hoping something happens soon!

Baby dust for us all!

i am not gonna test til tomorrow...i cant handle another bfn...BUT im thinkin thats what its gonna be this time..so i guess itll be september b4 we are officially tryin again...we are goin to NTNP...for the next two months...i am goin on a new diet tomorrow...i am still really down bc idk what we are doin wrong

[Brookegarrett]

[kgriffin]

im sorry mon, i must have missed reading something there, hopefully your appt goes well tomorrow, ill be thinking of you...

i am still testing early future, i thought buying ic`s were a good idea, and well, they arent. now that they are in the house i use them all the time.

 

[collie_crazy]

Good luck to anyone testing today

Mon - Good Luck at your appointment today, we're all anxious to hear what the specialist has to say!

Mirage - I'm so sorry the witch made her appearance, keep your head up and know that you get to O again soon!

Future - I'm glad you and DH were able to bd, hopefully you'll get your SOON!!

As for me af still hasn't arrived.....this may sound like a silly questions but is it possible to conceive after a mc before you have your first cycle? My levels were below 5 a week ago, the nurse told me at my appt then that I should expect to start anyday. I'm so confused....and anxious.....

What is your opinion/recommendation on caffeine while ttc? I sure love my morning cup of java!

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday morning (although at times that seems unimaginable!)

 

[Lily_Hope]

Hi TxMom

I have heard of people falling pregnant straight after a miscarriage and before their first cycle!

I don't know if its a myth but apparently you're more fertile after a miscarriage. Not sure how true this is!

I have definitely reduced my caffeine intake whilst TTC and usually have half a shot only in my morning coffee at work. If I feel any symptoms I switch to decaf and as soon as I find out I am pregnant I will switch to decaf for sure!

 

[TxMom2Be]

Thanks! I don't want to take a hpt yet, I'd rather wait it out than see a bfn......Who knows what my body's up to, it took us NO time to conceive the first time and my DH's family is known for being extremely fertile.....

I think that I will start brewing the 1/2 Caffeine that I bought, at least it'll be something!

I know exactly how you feel about taking a hpt. I do not want to bother with that so just waiting it out to see what happens.

Glad to hear that the DH's family is very fertile. That's a plus!

TxMom - yes it is totally possible. There are a lot of threads on here about that- you could do a search for them. It hasn't happened to me though (we tried after the 2nd mc). After the 1st MC we waited the 1 cycle Dr. recommended and were pg again the following cycle when we could try again (which ended up being the 2nd mc). So now after my second we've had 1 cycle and are going to see what happens this month. If it goes like the last time, then I think we have a really good chance of a positive again this month.

Mon - let us know what happens today! Good luck!
