Me and DH discussed with the clinic on the probability of delay due to the mc the clinic said advised not until nov . This time it will be an FET for us.

GHA. I just made a really stupid mistake and made a fool of myself at work :-/
There's kind of a competition between us and the HQ in the US, so everyone in my office just laughed it off. But I just want to bury myself somewhere! Argh. So glad todays over!

 

[Nina83]

Hello ladies.. I would like to join in..

I had a m/c in sept and a d&c shortly after we have been trying since 2007 in breaks and since 2011 till date has been an ongoing effort and in aug was my 1st bfp.

we are trying thru ivf (donor eggs).

Hi Gloria,
I'm so sorry for your loss
You guys have been through so much. I know you'll find support here, there's a bunch of wonderful women here.
I hate seeing new faces here

 

[bluestars]

What happened nina? Can you laugh it off too? Xxx

Wow, it's been busy in here. Lots to catch up on!

LL, Your chart is looking good! I hope those "signs" are good ones Thanks for the congrats I didn't realise that 13 weeks was second tri, lol. I actually was wondering the other day when second tri was, everything I read seems to be different. Sometimes I see 13 weeks, sometimes 14 weeks, and the book my doctor gave me says 15 weeks. No, I didn't buy maternity clothes, just regular clothes for now (just a bit looser). I feel kinda weird about going into a maternity store already... silly I know.

Blue, I'm glad to hear the doctor doesn't think you have PCOS and that your previous hormone checks were okay. Hopefully he's right and you'll get good news this month and will have no reason to go to another specialist
Yeah, it probably won't sink in for a while. I came home from work yesterday and hubby proudly announced that he had "found" our stroller, lol. Now I'm wondering if he's been scheming with my mother, lol.... wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

Nina, your chart is really looking good! Symptoms sound good too. That's great that your healthcare covers fertility treatments, I hope you won't need it though I wouldn't feel bad about 2 lbs, I've gained a few in the last year myself as well

Linny, glad you've got some indication of where you are in your cycle, it's so confusing after m/c!

Gloria, so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like you've been through a lot over the last few years! You are, of course, welcome to join in It's a lovely, supportive group of ladies.

 

[bluestars]

I took over 12 weeks was me out of the first trimester haha! Sooner the better ! Xxx

 

[Linnypops]

Hey ladies. Well, I'm stumped I just started bleeding, or I think it is .... It's kind of mid brown. It's only been 20 days since the start of mc though. I'm normally a regular cycle of 28. Is this normalish for after mc. I was expecting to wait at least 4 weeks!

 

[Nina83]

It's fine! My AF came 24 days after both D&C and MC. I was super surprised- I expected to wait a while. Mine actually started spotting at about 21ish days and then on day 24 AF hit.

Nina - That is really nice that Israel is so supportive of families, but I can definitely see how there'd be added pressure if you have troubles. Very nice about "free" fertility treatments, though. Fertility treatments aren't covered here, so I know I'd never be able to afford IVF if I needed it. I also for some reason had no idea you lived in Israel. I do remember you saying you used to live in Canada though. That is really cool!

If you look at our charts, our 7 dpo and 8dpo temps are exactly the same! We really are cycle buddies this time.

Sorry about your BFN, but definitely too early to get a BFP! When will you test again? Also - I've put on a couple pounds as well (just since the m/c). I don't think it was even pregnancy weight - just from stress-eating. Sigh!

Sorry you embarrassed yourself at work. I hate when I do that. But I am sure everyone will forget about it so no need to worry!

Blue - Yay, I'm glad you probably don't have PCOS. Too bad you've received some conflicting information. Hopefully everything is great now!

Linny - Congrats! That's great if Ov already happened. Hopefully you covered all your bases. That is SO sad about your niece, but I am glad she has you and your mom to love her as if she were your own.


Gloria - Very sorry about your m/c. Sounds like it has been a very long process for you. I hope the IVF works this time!


Lindsay - Yes, different places vary from 12-14 weeks being 2nd trimester (although I've never heard of 15)! I think here most people stick to 13 weeks. So feel good that you are considered 2nd trimester at least by some.

That's exciting your hubby found a stroller! I really hope you can dive right in and get excited about baby things soon. It makes me sad to see you so disconnected from it.

AFM - I am 8 DPO and craving all things salty/acidic and carby (dill pickle chips, dill pickles, italian bread dipped in oil & vinegar, and pasta)! This is nothing unusual for me during PMS, but I can't help but notice that the first time I craved dill pickle chips was when I was pregnant. I know I'm just being stupid though. This made me think - Lindsay, have you had any preggo cravings yet?

Aleeah - It's officially October and we're all going to be wondering about your appointment every day now since you didn't tell us the date. So excited for you!

 

[Linnypops]

Gloria - Sorry to hear of your loss, it's really hard - and waiting till Nov I can see is frustrating - from the article i once read - FET is a safer and more effective route? That's good news! I can dig up the link if you like but i'm guessing you may know this. X

Lindsay - Yeah it's good to know where i stand ...second tri! That's brilliant! congrats X

Nina - Ahh! Thanks love, you've put my mind at rest. It is just light atm, only when i wipe. So expecting the proper business soon. Your chart says 10dpo - are you poas soon?

Literati - Yep, she's a real wonder. And AF has begun, so i'm beginning to feel a bit more normal! Have you tested yet? x

 

[Nina83]

Lindsay, I think it would be more than OK if you put on a few pounds! You've got a bun in the oven!
Mine has been emotional eating + pregnancy weight. I know you don't gain in the beginning, but I did eat MORE. My eating habits are horrid to begin with, so I started eating properly. I gained weight, like I was supposed to, and then bam. Emotional eating took over from there, plus add on the fact that I had no desire whatsoever to pick myself off the couch.

We are lucky we have great health care, but other than that, we pretty much get nothing else from the country/government. The grass is always greener on the other side

I did POAS- nada.
I feel like crap today. I have a dull pressure on my right side, limbs are all achey, cervix is sky high and from what I make out of it- softish. CM milky.
I just feel out. Don't know if I should POAS this evening or wait it out.

LL- are you testing or waiting?

How is everyone else doing?

 

[bluestars]

I don't think your out nina is high and creamy not all good signs! Your still really early I think you should wait till cd 10 to start testing.

In pregnancy I done the opposite I lost nearly 4 stone in like 3 weeks near the end! I
L be glad to gain the next time.


I'm plodding along in my cycle... Cd 8 today... Might start BDing tonight.. Then every other day will I get a pos ... Not sure. Had very raunchy dreams last night think my body's telling me I'm in need

Apart from that I have been chasing cows and trying to catch my mad dog lol... Beats being stuck in haha! The life of a farmers 'wife' haahaa.

How's everyone else?

 

[crysshae]

Gloria - I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to this wonderful group.

Linny - I'm glad your niece has such wonderful family to care for her. Yay for AF! It's so weird when we say that.

Nina and Literati - Fingers crossed for you both! I'm so hoping to see some pretty BFPs in the next few days!

Blue - Lol! Sounds like you need to move some of that cow chasing energy inside.

Lindsay - No need to feel weird about going into a maternity store already. I'm glad you have some more comfortable clothes. So cute your DH found a stroller...and that he conspires with your mom.

 

[Lindsay109]

Linny, that's good that AF is on her way (it's not very often I say that!), that way you know where you stand and can start fresh The first regular cycle after m/c was the lucky one for me, so hopefully it will be the same for you!

LL and Blue, well I like the sound of 12 or 13 or even 14 weeks being second tri, lol. Yeah, the only place I've seen 15 weeks is in the book of information the OB gave me. It's got lots of good info, but made me rather depressed to think that I'd have to wait until 15 weeks to be considered second trimester, lol.

LL, lets hope that the cravings are a good sign Your chart looks good! When are you planning to test? I've had a few cravings here and there, the weirdest one was root beer (since I don't normally like it). Other than that I've been craving fruit, and carby things, and have a lot more of a sweet tooth than normal (I don't normally go for sweet things, salty is usually my weakness, lol). I am very happy about this pregnancy, it just doesn't feel "real" yet.... almost like it's too good to be true... which is why I think I'm feeling funny about looking into prenatal classes, etc. Everyone who knows has been very excited for me, so I'm hoping their excitement will rub off.

Nina, the few pounds were gained before the pregnancy, lol, not the good kind. I will be quite happy if the scale has gone up by my next doctors appointment though Your chart is looking really good hun, it's still quite early so hopefully in another day or 2 you'll have 2 lines

Blue, sounds like a good BD plan especially if you're having "raunchy dreams", lol, your OH will probably be happy about that. Are you really chasing cows?

Crys, how are you doing today?

Aleeah, I am also waiting to hear about your appointment when you come back

As for me, not much new. Still having weird pains here and there, the seem to be worse at night when I wake up and my bladder is really full. I may call the doctor today and just let them know so they can tell me if it's something I should be worried about or not.

Hi linny, Thanks.

I have tried 2 ivfs both were fresh transfer one was with my own eggs and the last one was with donors.. I have read alot about FETs but in most cases its recommended so as the retrieval is a very stressful process and 2 days after retrieval is the ET. In my case using donor eggs was not stressful but now i do worry as i wonder if it will work should i do a 5d instead of the same 3day etc.. Im waiting AF once it arrives will see the clinic and want to go ahead with the earliest possible... soo anxious!!

Hi linsay pray you feel better soon..

 

[Lindsay109]

Thanks Gloria. Excuse my ignorance, but what does FET stand for? I am not familiar with the IVF acronyms. I really hope they can get you in asap for your next round!
