TTC my Rainbow Baby! Looking for buddies who log in often!

[StillPraying]

Gagrlin sorry AF came but glad that you can move forward now. WONDFOS at the ready!!!!

Wish glad your appointment went well! Hopefully all your testing comes back perfect so you can have that piece of mind. My DHs mom had both of her babies in her late 30s so don't let that stop you!

Haha confuzion I'm with you on the money thing. I ordered wondfos from Amazon and got so excited over them arriving.

AFM..bleeding came back. *sigh* fx this is over soon so I can be in for Oct ttc.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Oh Still that really sucks. I hope it stops soon. Do you have a follow-up appt? Sorry if you already said.

 

[confuzion]

Cheapie OPKs or those clear blue smileys? I always loved those smiley OPKs but I'm gonna try not to spend the money on them unless it takes a while again .

For now I have the wondfos

You should post a pic when your start OPKing. I get excited over tests whether OPKs or HPTs

Confuzion, he ordered CD3 hormones + AMH which I did today, baseline ultrasound CD6, saline ultrasound CD10, CD20 progesterone, and also semen analysis for DH. My guess is that all of this will be normal...I suspect that our longer time to conceive and the early loss could just be age-related. The one thing you can't fix!

GAgrl I really hope this is your month! Baby dust and glue to you!

Yeah seems like that's the standard. I got the same exact tests my first month with the RE--except my husband refused to do the SA. He said he would rather not know . But he had knocked me up 4 times already (granted none stuck), so the RE let it go.

We never got to do the progesterone test because I actually got pregnant with my daughter by then (fully natural although the RE did want us to start on some FSH injections but didn't get that far). FX same happens for you . For me, they also had to order a recurrent pregnancy loss panel. My MTHFR was the only thing that came up.

What a bummer! But I say if it stopped for a while it will stop for good soon. Hang in there!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Still.. Yup I'm ready. If I don't get a bfp this month it sure won't be for lack of trying.

Conf- I probably will.. I'm still iffy on spotting a positive. I usually start on day 10 and do 9am and 2pm.. To try and not miss the surge.

Dh and I plan to bd every other day until I get positive opk.. Then we'll bd every day for three days.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Confuzion wow you sure went through a lot to have your first...I hope it happens quickly for you next time!

Gagrl, that sounds like a good strategy.

Not sure how successful we will be this month...DH has his SA the same day as my saline ultrasound on CD10 so we will have to abstain for at least 2 days before, and then we will be at the cottage with his parents on CD11 and 12! Will have to do some uber quiet BDing with MIL and DIL in the next room, d'oh!

 

[StillPraying]

Gagrlin sounds like you have an awesome plan! Definitely won't be a lack of trying. You do opks 2x a day??? OMG I need to learn lol I haven't used them before.

Confuzion OMG that's a lot to go through to have your dd, although I'm sure she's worth it hopefully you won't have to do all of that this time around!

Wish haha at the silent bding, honestly I think that's fun so long as it's not my parents hahahaha. Idk why but it's different when it's my own parents hahaha. Well I'm keeping my fx that your tests come back perfect!

AFM the bleeding yesterday was very very light it's gone again this morning so really hoping it's letting up. I had it in my head that I'd be ttc this month but I think it's probably for the best that I'm not. A Halloween BFP would be so fun

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I use them twice so that I don't miss my surge

 

[StillPraying]

Gagrlin that's so smart maybe I will try that. No bleeding today fx fx lol but I did get ewcm today so I'm hoping that's a good sign??

 

[WishnandHopn]

Still I'm glad the bleeding has stopped, and ewcm is certainly a good sign! I think I O'd less than a week after the spotting stopped.

I've had the best luck using my opk's only first thing in the morning, could never get a real strong positive any other time of day.

Currently in the process of filling my bladder for my baseline ultrasound...what fun!

 

[StillPraying]

Isn't that strange how opks work differently for everyone? Guess it's a hormone thing. Let us know how your ultrasound goes!


It was more like watery cm, I didn't realize there was a difference until recently lol still spotting here and there but I'm hoping after this month I'll be somewhat back to normal.

 

[confuzion]

Still.. Yup I'm ready. If I don't get a bfp this month it sure won't be for lack of trying.

Yeah I always get my surge sometime in the evening I noticed. I tested twice a day as well.

She is most definitely worth it. But yes, 2 years and 4 losses (one being a molar pregnancy which you've probably never heard of but it's a complete nightmare) was definitely wearing us down. I was starting to think it would never happen. And now we've got the best kid in the world! Lol possibly a bit biased.

Just BD when you feel like it this month and whatever happens happens. They say women are more fertile after a loss. For me that was never the case. I never caught the egg during a MC cycle and I assume my body just wasn't ready.

Still I'm glad the bleeding has stopped, and ewcm is certainly a good sign! I think I O'd less than a week after the spotting stopped.

How was your ultrasound?


You ladies are making me want to buy some OPKs and start peeing! Lol. Even though no BD will come of it I guess it would be handy to see if I'm ovulating around the same time as I used to before my daughter right?

 

[StillPraying]

Wish how did the ultrasound go?

Confuzion I've heard it both ways, some women were extra fertile (or maybe just good timing?) And others I know of that didn't even O post mc/pre AF I definitely recommend opks just Cuz it gives you something to analyze not that I'm a POAS addict or anything

AFM I got a positive opk 2 days ago so I'm counting myself as 2dpo for the sake of feeling normal for...sanity reasons but I've been getting af like cramps....how soon can af come post mc?

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Still I think it just friends on your body. My post AF was five weeks to the day after my cp.

AFM, I had my post mc follow up with my Obgyn. The appointment went fantastic actually. I'm so thankful for this doctor...

Even though I was still on my cycle he did and cervix check and internal and said everything looks good. He told me that when I get my next positive to call the office and speak to him directly and he will have me come in and do beta's and progesterone and then at six weeks he is going to have me do a viability ultrasound as well. Since I deal with some major anxiety he wants to do whatever he can to keep my anxiety and stress low as it's not good for the baby.

I'm going to keep charting and use opks and take my temperature (when I remember to).

 

[StillPraying]

I'm thinking I'll test on the 21st since that will be a month from delivery, and 8dpo. I'm not banking on this cycle since I'm sure my body is out of wacko but it gives me something to look forward to if that makes sense.

Gagrlin I gave up temping before dd2 as I was just terrible with it lol are you taking anything for anxiety? I was on zoloft for quite a while, I'm looking into natural supplements now.

 

[WishnandHopn]

My ultrasound went well! The tech counted 15 follicles total and she said that was a good number. I'm having a saline infusion ultrasound tomorrow morning, so I'm a bit nervous about that. I'm CD9 today...OPKs are negative the past 2 days and I'm hoping to O around CD14.

Gagrl that is so great that you have a good doctor. It must be so reassuring to know that you will have that kind of support with your next BFP!

Still, yay for having positive OPKs! Along with the ewcm, seems like a good sign your body is getting back on track. Starting to test about a month after delivery seems like a good plan.

 

[confuzion]

SP- yay for positive OPK and to be counting DPOs. 8 DPO is quite early but I did get a VERY VERY faint line at 8 DPO with my daughter so FX!

Wishn - I had an SIS. Nothing to be nervous about. I forgot to take the Tylenol they told me to take before hand but it wasn't too bad. Just got pretty crampy for a little while but it was over very quickly.

Best of luck to you on this cycle Gagrl! Your doc sounds awesome.

 

[StillPraying]

Wish glad your ultrasound went well! What is the saline one?

Confuzion where are you in your cycle?

Honestly I'm not expecting it to happen this cycle, I just picked the 21st because it's a month from delivery. I normally have very regular 30 day cycles but i doubt AF will show on time the average I'm seeing from other ladies is about 5 weeks so I'm figuring she'll show by 1 Oct.

 

[confuzion]

CD22 here for me. My cycles are anywhere from 24-26 days long so I suspect I'll be getting my period very soon. I'm still part time BF my daughter and I have like no milk at the moment. Which usually means period within the next couple days. Might be looking at a 24 day cycle this time.

 

[StillPraying]

Are you waiting for AF to be late before you test?

 

[confuzion]

No not testing. No need lol. We didn't try this month. We'll be starting up around December. So 3 or so months left for me .
