TTC after miscarriage before AF

[tag74]

Tag- my lines were so light that I convinced myself I wasn't pregnant. Then, if I got lucky, I'd be happy. But yeah, there were nights, waking up at 2 to go to the bathroom, POAS, and getting a faint line that I just stalked the internet.

Today I tested with a digital (Clear Blue Easy) and it said not pregnant, so I guess I have my answer. Onto the next cycle. I know it will happen sometime soon

I'm sorry Xan... I hope you're doing ok!

I am sorry xanzaba, I how it works out next cycle.

Tag- that HCG sounds like it is going up steadily now I hope it keeps doubling at a good rate for you.

Tiny- How was Fridays appointment? Did you feel better after seeing the genetic counselor?

Thanks mssk, I am praying with everything I got.

I have been making sure I track everything this month since my brain seems too overwhelmed to remember symptom details. Cycle day 23 and I have some convincing early pregnancy symptoms but a big part of me in convinced I am feeling them because I want to feel them. O was hard to track this cycle-my cycle seemed all over the place I had watery CM cycle day 10 only 3 days after AF was over. But with bding almost every other day it made CM hard to track. I had watery CM then EWCM then watery again. O calendar predicted my fertility window at 14-19 based on previous cycles. I guess whether it was the 10th or the 17th as calendar O day the wait is on. We ended up bding the 10,13,15,17 and 19 so bases covered...but I am surprised to be symptomatic this early?! Maybe it is just AF coming. I hate waiting.

Waiting completely stinks but I totally think you have it covered!

It was better than I expected I guess. I guess our chance of miscarriage per pregnancy is 40% and the chance of a live birth of a child with abnormalities is 1.5%, sounds like our imbalanced embryos are most likely to miscarry, which is good. But I feel like 40% might be pretty optimistic. But... I guess we keep going for now

Good luck to you!

Feeling O pains, I'm day 30+ of course, I bought opks, I should try one out.

Tiny, it still sounds promising. Sending lots of baby dust.

Oh Tiny I know it must be so frustrating and a lot to take in but I am so glad that you got in there to get answers. I just know that you will get your rainbow!

I woke up nauseous today among other symptoms. AF should be due any where from the 28th-the 1st. I usually am 30 days when I do have normal cycles but with the Provera it could be a little shorter or longer. Since I am not completely sure when O occurred I promised myself and DH I would wait till 9/12 to test. I don't know if I can keep that promise. I guess I am just afraid of seeing a BFN.

 

[xanzaba]

Ooh Mssk! Hope this is it! In the past, how many DPO did you get your BFP? Oh the suspense...

AFM- It has been okay, my temps are up more steadily now, so it's possible that huge dip was an O dip, not implantation. I guess the BFPs were leftover from the miscarriage, because otherwise I surely would have gotten AF (or at least symptoms) by now. But honestly my temps have been all over the place, especially when I was traveling, so who knows. It's aint over until auntie sings this month.

The latest I could have O'ed was last Wednesday, so I'm using that as my gauge. In that case I still have about 10 days to wait for AF.

Xan, I don't think you can O with HCG in your system. Some people just don't get a lot of HCG in their urine even though it is in their blood. I really think you should get betas every couple of days, it's really the only way to know which way it is going. I hope it is a sticky baby that is just being stubborn!!

Mssk 9/12??? What??? Oh helllllllll no! Lol if you know that you are after O for sure I would give it 9 days at most! But that's because I'm just impatient. Lol. Good luck with your waiting! I'll be here waiting to see your bfp!

 

[TinyLynne]

AFM - I did do an opk last night, definitely not positive, but there was a line there, so maybe I'm finally getting close? I temped this morning, it is pretty low, so I definitely haven't Od yet!

I'd be ok taking a month off if my body would just behave normal! I mean, I haven't even Od and most people would already be into their normal cycle by day 33!

We are looking forward to keep trying, just need to get MY body on track now.

Xan- With my son we were trying but I had irregular periods and did not feel pregnant so we didn't find out till 7 weeks. With our daughter I tested up till 14 dpo and all BFNs (DAMN BLUE DYE!!!)until what I thought was AF then didn't get a positive/ find out until Dr. tested me due to severe pain at 6 weeks. Then with the first loss this March I got a BFP 12 dpo very faint (Blue dye). Second loss this May 10 dpo BFP though progression never got much darker over 5 days of testing.

Tiny- I know, I don't think I can handle waiting. I guess I'm realizing that I am not prepared for a BFN or a loss and when I test if I don't see a blaring line I am going to die of stress. Fall semester starts next Monday and my husband starts a new job Wednesday so I wanted to make sure if AF doesn't come it is not due to stress. But, I am sure I will cave. I feel pregnant- I am just scared I'm wrong lol.

 

[mssk]

Tiny- I am sorry that your cycle is all over the place. Maybe this long cycle will give your body what it needs. I know how much those long cycles suck though!! I hope that you O soon.

 

[TinyLynne]

If you feel like it, then I believe you! After being knocked up so many times I would say you are a pro and I trust your judgement! I will be (im)patiently waiting to see your BFP. And just remember that stress can't delay your period, it can only delay ovulation (which would push your period back, but it wouldn't change your luteal phase)

 

[mssk]

Well woke up today and all my symptoms were gone . Cramping since I woke up and is getting more intense as the day goes on AF is due sometime today-the 1st of the month. I think I am out this month. I don't feel pregnant at all anymore.

 

[TinyLynne]

Sorry mssk. But AF and PG symptoms can sometimes be the same! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- you're not out until AF, so... Hopefully you're just used to the symptoms? Keeping my fingers crossed.

AFM- On CD 33, longest cycle recorded, and FF took away my cross hairs. Definitely ovulated, but when? It just looks like a steady rise in temps. I have a ton of pressure, which could be AF or pregnancy symptoms. I wanted to see the doctor this week, but our dog became really sick and with the new job and a sick puppy, I just didn't have the time to do anything but to let nature take its course.

 

[mssk]

Thanks ladies. AF usually shows without cramps so this morning would have been weird either way with the cramping. But, now they are gone and I completely passed out and napped with my daughter for 2 hours so who knows FX I hope I am not out this month.

 

[mssk]

I'll be keeping you in my thought Xan. I hope this is the month for you. Did you BD steadily throughout the month? I wasn't quite sure when I ovulated either. But, this month I wrote literally everything down so I can compare it next cycle if need be.

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- we did bd pretty continuously throughout the month, but there was a time where we missed 3 days, and I had a huge dip about halfway through it. If I did O at that time, I'm 15 dpo and I should get my period tomorrow, or it would have passed.

Sorry for the rambling, but that's where I am right now

 

[mssk]

That's not rambling lol! You should see me I think I am driving myself crazy. Me and my BFF google have been looking things up all day(this has not helped my state of mind). It is funny you say that we missed 3 days too. I could be anywhere from 11 dpo to 18 dpo I really have no clue fertile cm from cycle day 10-19.

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- hope that AF is staying away.

AFM- Today was CD 34- unprecedented. Nothing this cycle is precedented.

But the puppy is doing better, so I'll take that!

 

[mssk]

Aww glad your puppy is feeling better. It must be a bad week for pets. My cat is in kidney failure now . AF is not here yet and cm is getting thicker so that is good, I think? When do you plan on testing?

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- I'm sorry your cat is ill. It's so hard watching innocent pets suffer...

After FF took away my crosshairs, so I discarded a couple of temps I was unsure about that looked wrong, and it gave me crosshairs near where I thought I felt O like pains that last time right before a temp rise. Now it predicts that 16dpo is Wednesday, so if AF doesn't arrive I'll test again then. If I get another faint line I'm calling the doctor for a blood test.

 

[mssk]

I hope that we both get some good lines this week!
