TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Me too!! Soooo hopeful for you!

I'd say bf-Ing does take time and energy, but is worth it if u can. I respect those that can't, but I recommend at least trying it for a month and then make a decision. The hardest days the first few weeks. For me I never had bad nips (tiny tiny bit of soreness/tender). It is exhausting and u feel like u need space, but every day it gets easier and more enjoyable.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Nikki how much were you producing at one week?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Well I'm back from the Dr. She along with the specialist don't want to give me Clomid first they want to try femera. They will have me take it cycle day 5-9 next cycle.
I have to go back next week and get a mole removed

 

[morganwhite7]

YAHOO Katrina!!! Femara, imo, is better bc of what happened with Mirolee! Oh my I am so excited for what these next months might bring for you!!!

Rachel- My boobies worked great, and if I remember correctly I was at 300 ml at 1 week and 500 ml by 2 weeks. I want to snuggle your baby lol, she is so precious.. I show DH all of your pics. She reminds me of Jaxon, so tiny. Any ETA on when she'll be able to go home?

Just got finished with my 37 week check up. Evan is doing great but my cervix is completely closed. Makes me so nervous for what labor will actually feel like since I have been in pain for the past few days and nothing! Guess I will start walking again and try to really get something going!

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, that is great! Hopefully yoy won't even need it!

Sarah, that stinks! Fx for progress! !

I'm not totally ruling it out, but it freaks me out" Idk why.

Feel free to post whatever girls.. I talk a LOT during the day!

But as for now.. It takes a lot to grow a bean so goodnight. Talk to you all after my vomiting episode tomorrow morning lol.

SCAN in 11 hours!!!!!!!!!!

hello im new to this i was reading and this website really gives a lot of information. i read your post and though maybe you know about ttc after a d&c or can give me some advice. here's a little bit of my story i had a mmc at 11 weeks and got a d&c done on jan 16 2 1/2 week's after d&c (jan 30) me and my husband started to ttc again after the bleeding and discharged was over, so i waited 2 week's took a test came out negative kept testing 1week afetr at home several times giving me all negatives, decided to go to the doctors because i though maybe it was the test i was using, they gave me a check up and a screening everything was good my uterus my cervix she said that i can keep trying since all looked good, still having hope they did both a urine test and a blood test, so the urine came out negative but the blood work showed 6.5 on hcg level, this was all after the time i conceived which was 2 1/2 weeks after d&c but in between from then till now me and my husband was still having unprotected sex, so i waited 3 weeks to go to the doctors that's when i got hcg 6.5 she gave me a follow up for the 10th which was yesterday but i'm still waiting for results.(rREALLY HOPING FOR LEVELS TO RISE) is just confusing because i also had a late period last month for 5 day's and me and my husband as i mentioned kept having unprotected sex till this day. so question is, is it possible that maybe i have to wait longer because there's a possibility that i could of gotten prego any of the times me and my husband have done it or is it possible that the 6.5 means i am and my levels are going up? please help i need as much information we have been trying so hard to have a family and the 6.5 is kind of giving me a lot of hopes but don't want to over due it i dont want to disappoint myself.

Hi, jpaduani20. Welcome to BnB. This thread is closed, meaning we don't allow new people to post. Its not that we don't like you, its simply that there are a lot of us as it is and we don't want anyone to get forgotten. The other boards on BnB are great, best of luck.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Katrina - That's a nice jump!!!! lets hope this is the cycle for your BFP!

Sandy - Sorry DH is sick! I hope he feels better soon!

Sarah - Glad your appointment went well! I hope things start progressing for you soon!

 

[RobertRedford]

yay for Femara, Katrina!

Pains went away last night, advice nurse said if they got worse to go in. They were bad but they suubsided. phew.

Dr's appoinment didn't really go that well. I have to go back on my lunch break to have labs taken for a beta hcg, and then two repeat draws every 48 hours after that (so thurs and sat). I'm a wreck now, I know that its really too early to see anything but the dr almost made it seem like something was wrong because we couldn't see anything. She is sending me for a formal US today to see if they can get any better images. Im having to remind myself that im only 4w1d, and its normal to not see anything yet.

 

[morganwhite7]

Oh Amanda, telllllll me about it. I was like 5 weeks and bleeding and they told me that miscarriage crap ONLY bc they couldn't see much on US... well guess what, you can NEVER see much that early! Other ladies just don't get checked that early so you never hear about it. Don't worry love. Is the sickness still lingering? That's always a good sign. I appreciated every hurl during those scary early days lol.

Oh and be forewarned, my numbers didn't exactly double every 48 hrs. I think I went in 72 hrs later and they still hadn't. And she's a-okay

 

[goldstns]

Omg...the worst fear IV ever had....dh got a call from daycare that Alia was having trouble breathing!! We sped to pick her up and went to ER. Thank god she seems ok. They r testing for rsv....respiratory virus because it was going around her daycare. When dh got the call from her daycare he told them to call 911 if they needed to.

 

[RobertRedford]

Not sick right now, I have mild times of nausea but no throwing up yet today. trying not to freak out. the doctor did preface the US with saying that there was a really good chance that it was too early to see anything. She asked my LMP and pulls out her date wheel and goes "so, you're realllllllllllllyyy early and we might not be able to see anything"

 

[RobertRedford]

oh my gosh Nikki, keeping you all in my thoughts. Hoping miss Alia is just fine! How scary, hang in there momma!

 

[goldstns]

Rachel I didn't pump till week 3 ... And I was getting 4oz on average in a pump session. However don't compare to me because since high school IV had high prolactin issues and was on meds for it so I could get my cycle. So it might currently be increasing my production

 

[goldstns]

Thx Robert ...i think Alia is fine. Right now we r laying in ER bed together and she's sleeping on my chest. Her o2 level and hr seem fine.

 

[jury3]

Katrina-Femera is definitely a good thing! I'm so excited for you!

Amanda-Try not to worry. I'm not sure why they would even do an u/s this early...they should probably have just started with hcg. I'm sure it's all fine

Nikki-So scary! I'm glad she's doing ok though. Keep us updated!

I'm having obnoxious bh today. I get pressure in my chest like I need to breath deeply and my stomach gets hard. Anywhere from 3-11 minutes apart. Not painful and definitely not consistent. I think I'm going to shower and then I'll lay down for a little bit and see if that helps. I've been trying to drink a lot of water bc I know I didn't have enough yesterday. If they keep up after that I'll call my doc. Otherwise I have a doc apt tomorrow.
Anyway, here are some pics for you girls. I included one of my bare belly to show you girls my awesome stretch marks...lol You can also see where I finally got my linea nigra. My belly looks so lopsided too. What's funny is I tried to take the pic myself buy my belly is so big and my arms are too short, I couldn't fit the whole thing! DW had to take it for me lol




A pic I sent my mom a while back showing her how big I was. Had on the same shirt last night, so sent her an update lol

 

[RobertRedford]

love your twin belly, Julie!

Thanks, I agree. I'll get my labs back by the end of the day (hopefully) and will be more at ease. I read up on U/S at 4 weeks and no one sees anything at 4 weeks. its hard to see anything even at 6 weeks. it was awfully stupid of her to expect to see anything then. just threw up again and i'm oddly comforted by it.

 

[asmcsm]

Julie cute bump pics! Can't wait to see what little Olivia and Greyson look like!

Amanda, I had my first apt at 5 weeks exactly and all they could see was a thickened endometrium. The only reason they even did an US is because the student midwife was clueless at calculating how far along I was even though I told her I have longer cycles.
