Have you carried on trying naturally this cycle summer?

 

[summer2011]

Yes but not holding out much hope. Feeling crampy today so expecting af any minute. Won't get to try another iui till February due to dh's work

 

[ladyluck8181]

I'm so sorry Summer, I can't pretend to know how you feel but we're always here if you ever need to offload

Thanks ladyluck. Having an ectopic is horrible, but trying so hard and ending up with one is the most depressing thing. Who knows when/if I'll get to see those 2 lines again

[allforthegirl]

pdxmom I am having a crapy roller coaster type of a week so far. He is very low, so causing tons of pressure, BH have been changing, so been told that it could be any day…. so yes I am getting there, just trying to not think about it too much. Have been cleaning like crazy, so yah….

You are so close to the half way mark!! How have you been feeling?

 

[pdxmom]

Have started feeling better since a week or so...had been puking like a crazy person...now trying to put on some lbs as ive lost 11 pounds till now...doc doesnt seem very worried tho as baby is measuring just fine but he has asked to me start working on gaining little at a time...hopefully i shud b able to do so as my appetite is still pretty poor and i cant really eat much...

 

[allforthegirl]

Oh yuck I hated that feeling. I hope that you can do it nice and slowly. I didn't gain very much my 1st trimester, then gained a bunch in the 2nd, now that I am in the 3rd it has slowed right down again. I really don't want to gain like last time LOL

Congrats!!!

How is everyone doing? xx

Hoping you ladies are still around. I read through page 238 and then jumped to the end to introduce myself and see it's been over a month since anyone has posted.

I'm Amanda. I'm 38 (as of Feb 9th, so was tickled to see the new addition that arrived on my b-day! LOL) and lead a pretty active lifestyle. I have 2 boys, 18 and 7, a 7yo DSD and a 2yo DSS. My other kids (er, fids - furred, feathered and finned) are 4 German Shepherds, a Rat Terrier, 7 parrots, and 233 gallons of fish.

TTC has been one heck of a journey for me. My 18 year old was conceived within days of deciding to TTC. I also have a 17yo DD that was conceived in rape that I gave up for adoption, so obviously I was extremely fertile once upon a time. My 7yo was conceived after 2 years of infertility due to blocked tubes (scarring from c/s with 18yo). One tube was opened via lap in 2005, and he was conceived 5 months later. I was told that tube would close back up in a year, so imagine my surprise when we started "trying" 8 years later in September 2013 so we could get referred back for surgery again ASAP, and I got a BFP that same cycle! That one ended with a mmc at 7w4d that we discovered during a routine u/s at 9 weeks. I had a D&C at 10 weeks. We started TTC again right away and got another BFP on 1/17/14. This one is ectopic. And stubborn. Had to get a 2nd round of MTX last week.

13dpo: 46
15: 108
20: 115
22: 185
24: 159
29: 371
30: 478 - MTX
33: 542
36: 616
37: MTX
41: 477 Finally!

My RE says we can TTC again after one period, which after my research, is what we'll do. He says MTX does NOT affect developing eggs, it only depletes folic acid, and it doesn't deplete it completely, and it starts going back up immediately. He says, and my research backs it up, that the 3 month wait is based on therapeutic use, higher doses over an extended period of time, such as for cancer, psoriasis, etc., and I trust him. He's very, very good at what he does, and he's not going to tell me it's ok if it's not. He not only keeps up with current research, but authors a lot of it. His reputation is stellar.

As I'm reading the last few years of posts I'm so inspired by your stories. And thrilled to see the multiples!! I want twins sooooo bad. I want two more babies, and I'm not getting younger, plus even as a small child I saw myself with twins, twin boys specifically, named Jared and Jordan. I've never used those names in hopes of my dreams coming true, and they'd work for b/g twins, too!

Now, back to reading the old posts and getting up to date!

 

[allforthegirl]

I'm still around. Just trying to get used to another monkey to look after LOL

I am sorry you are going through this, but this is a great place to be for support. I wish you all the luck to find your rainbow.

 

[jammers77]

Sorry you're going through this, HerdingMama. I had 2x mtx too. It was a rough two months of blood work and praying that the numbers would dwindle, all the while mourning. Awful, I know. I hope you recover soon and get a happy ending soon afterward.
