TTCAL waiting (not so patiently) for our rainbows

[dan-o]

Oh cami hun I really hope 2015 is the year for you xxx

 

[Beckzter]

So sorry Cami I have been thinking of you today too. Hope you've got your feet firmly up and resting

Hooray! Great news about your scan Dan-o, fx it's one more step towards your rainbow

I can't imagine how the first trimester it must feel for ladies who have had multiple miscarriages, I am petrified to be pregnant again and so far I've had one mc

Moodiness is still here, had a few light random cramps during the day but no sign on AF yet.

Hi ladies, wondering if I can join you? I had a natural mc in October and bled for 2.5 weeks. It's been 3 weeks since I stopped bleeding so 5.5 weeks since mc in total. I'm still getting a faint line on pregnancy tests so I'm hoping that will be gone soon. I'm using opks to see when I ovulate but thinking AF will show before then!

 

[Beckzter]

Oh course Kelly, welcome I'm recently new too and the ladies here are lovely.

Kelly welcome - we have lots of fabulous bfp on this thread but also some ladies waiting (not so patiently! lol) for our rainbow babas so it's a great but hopefully lucky place to hang out!

Afm - had an attempted break in at home last night by 3 blokes whilst we were asleep - they rang the doorbell to see if anyone was home and then broke the window lock trying to get in. My honey, who is 6ft 4in got up and let out a massive roar and chased them off! Luv him to bits xxxxx We found a crowbar on the ground outside the window this morning and rang the police and CSI lady came round tonight to take fingerprints & found another tool in a bag outside the window -- f**kers is all they are!!!! But so glad they didn't get in and harm us or our beautiful kiddies! Complete scumbags ....... obviously career criminals chancing their arm and we are really hoping the ppolice got some good fingerprints ....

anyways on a positive note -- cd13 today and got a + OK today and managed to get another bd in before all the excitement last night - so fingers xd this month!

 

[Kellya009]

Thanks Beckster and Sunshine!

Sunshine that is so scary!! I can't believe that happened! Good they got scared off and I hope the police catch them! Hope to see some good news from you at the end of this tww too

Cami, my fingers are crossed for you this next cycle. I hope you are feeling a bit better physically and mentally (although I know it's much easier said than done). Here's to a better year in 2015 and I hope the specialist can help you!

Beck, did you take any tests today? It's funny, I actually always had better luck with IC. For some reason I ALWAYS show my bfp first on IC - even before it registers on an FRER. I think it takes awhile for hcg to show in my urine though. I always get late BFP's (around 12dpo on early response tests), and last time I got my hcg tested two days after my very first squinter faint BFP and it was at 95.

Tasha, I popped over to your journal. Congrats hun that's wonderful news!

Dan-o so happy for you that your scan went well! Yay!

Babytots how are you feeling? Is your cold any better?

Kelly- welcome to our group! I'm sorry for your loss and I wish you the best of luck TTC. I'm happy to have you join us on our journey!

Sunshine - crazy news about your breakin. Yikes! I'm so happy everyone is safe and okay.

No news here. I'm feeling alright overall. Still exhaustion and cravings, but no sickness yet. I'm actually feeling pretty anxious this week. Today makes the 5 week mark in this pregnancy, and I lost my last baby at 5w6d (bleeding started at 5w5d) so I feel on edge every time I go to the bathroom or feel any stretching pains/cramps.

 

[babytots]

You should be getting regular scans anyway, with your history, surely?

You would think that but my hospital is tight. If epu refuse I'll be heading straight to PAL to put a complaint in.

Glad that baby is measuring ok. Hopefully you will get a scan pic soon Its not my hospital policy either but I always ask them for one. My reason being that if something were to go wrong I have something to remember the baby by. Its worked in my last 4 pregnancies nice to have them to look back on especially with my angel.

So went to my doctors and asked the receptionist for my results she was so vague told me the hcg confirmed the pregnancy and that there was no further action needed regarding my progesterone. I asked for a copy of them to be told to go back at a later time when she wasn't busy. So I went just before the school run. I'll attach them below you and Tasha are probably better then me at deciding wether the levels are good or not.

Camichelle sending you more hugs

Welcome to the group Kelly so sorry for your loss.

Sunshine how scary for you all I hope your ok and not too shaken up. Hopefully the police will get some decent fingerprints and find the b@stards.

Sil glad to hear you are well. Sending lots of sticky thoughts your way I hope you get through this next week with no problems. Its so hard when you come up to the stage of when you lost your baby. For me its the 7,8 and 9 week mark. 3 weeks of being on complete edge x

 

[babytots]

This is the hcg x

 

[babytots]

And the progesterone along with todays tests finally darker then the control line on the frer x

 

[sil]

Babytots, your tests and numbers look awesome! I actually had one FRER left in my cabinet. I told myself I would not test again this pregnancy but you inspired me and I'm glad I did. It gives me a piece of mind to finally see that line so dark. Actually, the line today at 5 weeks along is darker than the line on the test that I took when I started losing my baby at 5w6d last pregnancy so it gives me hope that this bean is sticky

Today's test at 5w:

Test from when I was miscarrying at 5w6d:

It feels really reassuring to see my test is darker even though I'm not as far along

 

[babytots]

Thanks Sil. Slightly worried about the high progesterone level as it shouldn't be that high til the second tri.

Really confused as to how far along I am as well. By lmp I would be 5+2 though as I ovulated 2 days later then the norm it would make me 5 weeks. But then if I count how many dpo I am (19dpo) and add on 14 days (of which is when ov occurs in an average cycle) that would bring me to 33 days and 4+5. Confused.com. Want to be accurate with my dates for when I book into the epu as I really don't want to go then have to fret there is no h/b as its too early.

I can't see your test hun there appears to be an equation where the photo should be. Can see the one you posted from your last pregnancy though. x

 

[dan-o]

Babytots it's perfect. It can be very variable.
My progesterone was 190 at 13 and 15dpo with vincent
and with sidney it was 48 at 12dpo. Quite a big range there!

When was the hcg done? That could give you an indication of how far long you are?
I always just add two weeks on to my DPO to date myself as my ov is often early.

 

[dan-o]

Ps. both your and sil's tests look amazingly reassuring, lovely lines!!

 

[babytots]

Thanks dan-o thats reassuring to know. My bloods were taken 2 days ago so at 17dpo. x

 

[dan-o]

So I make you 4w5d if you are 19dpo! Does that sound right?

 

[babytots]

Yes thats what I worked it out to be by adding 2 weeks to 19 but I am on cd 37 with ov on cd16 if ov was on cd14 like an average cycle I would be cd 35 making me 5 weeks exactly. Does that make any sense at all lol. x

 

[dan-o]

Yeah nhs just date you from LMP don't they, then knock a few days off when you get a scan.

 

[babytots]

Yeah I'll probably just stick with lmp the most I'll be out by is 3 days as I won't have ovulated before my positive opk.

Sil I can see your test now. It looks fab!! x
