Waiting for our BFPs! Please hurry :-D

[Nina83]

Lady that's great news! You were so worried, that must have been great to see!
Bridget- Welcome!

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

LL that's brilliant news! You must be so pleased.

Welcome Bridget. Sorry about last cycle. I hope this is the one!

Im cd45 since miscarriage. Looks like I might be 12dpo and my temp is sky high. I'm won't be testing coz I got a bfn a couple of days ago and just don't think I will be pregnant. I guess the miscarriage just messes with everything.
Got my FS appointment tomorrow and will hopefully get more clomid

Hi Bridget welcome! I hope this board is lucky for you.

MrsB - yeay for af holding off for your appt! Come on clonus, work your magic! Though I have got hopes that this is your lucky cycle already as your temps look good!

LL - fantastic news you saw your wiggly bean! It's looking v good that this is your rainbow (touch wood - I don't want to jinx it for you!)

 

[bluestars]

Ll - thats great!! Soo pleased for you!

Hislo I think thats flew in!

Bridget-welcome honey. Sorry you had such a confusing cycle last month let hope this cycle is your cycle.

I dont feel pregnant if there wasnt a faint line 2 days before AF is due then I take that as im out. Should be getting pretty much a strong line. So sick of this constant negativity. I just dont understand why its taking so long ! I just want to hold my precious baby and love them more than anyone could. I see that here a mother has killed her 3 year old and dumped his body in the woods... how should she be allowed children and me who would give my life for my children is not.

 

[Nina83]

Blue, thats horrible, it breaks my heart when I hear things like that, the poor children, some people should definitly not reproduce.
Some women don't get a positive until af, or a couple of days before. I hope you'll be one of those. Don't give up, you'll hold your baby and it will be amazing
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way and going through this, don't forget that you're not alone, we're here for you

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Blue it makes me so sick how some people are so underserving. How could a mother do that, I just don't understand.
We are all here for u xxx

 

[bluestars]

Thanks guys. I just hope the doctor will help tomorrow xxx

 

[Jaysbaby25]

Just thinking out loud here, but sheesh, seriously. Just pour more salt on my wounds, really. Tell me something I didn't know or try.

Now...
Jaysbaby, welcome
After reading your post I immediatly checked my latest bloods because I remember seeing my tsh also slightly higher, mine was 2.6 last year before my first MC, and then last month it was 2.77. I don't know anything about that, but reading on the internet, tsh levels are considered normal between 1-5, but when trying ttc, doctors say they'd like it between 1-2.
I'd love to hear some more about normal high ranges of tsh- my doctor thought it was fine, but I am definitely worried after what I read today
I hope this is your cycle!
Are any more IUI planned if not? We have also been trying, in total a year and a half, but with 2 MC in between, so no solid year yet- which you "need" in order to get treatment.
2014 is our year though!

Blue, what about those tests?! How are you feeling?
MrsB? Are you around 10dpo now? FX!

And our Pregnant Lovelies- how are you feeling?
I hate asking every post- but I'm so forgetful- how far along are you guys now?

AFM, I'm feeling slightly better, I finally got a good nights sleep. I had a low fever in the afternoon, and then before we went to bed I took my temp again and it was 36, it has never been that low before! I was worried, but I read that after a fever, sometimes the temperature drops drastically, to cool it down or something. I guess that was it. I had a slight lowish fever today as well, but no need for Tylenol yet. And my nose business is clear, which is great after 2 days of being yellow (so sorry for TMI)
Tomorrow I plan on going for half a day at work, I'd stay home but there's a new girl and I need to sit with her. Bleh, she's sweet, but I don't want to go in like this tomorrow.
We stepped out of the house today for some fresh air (DH is also stuffy) and went to buy some house plants. I got a new hanging plant for the studio, and DH is into a veggie garden, so we got some starters. I'm doubtful, but I don't want to crush him! It keeps him busy, which is what is important!

Hi Nina! Yes my primary dr said my tsh was NORMAL and refused to put me on low dose synthroid, even though all i kept reading on the internet is you should have a tsh of 1-2 while ttc!! So,i called the fertility spec. and he put me on the Synthroid(25mg). Ive been on it for about 6 weeks now with absolutely no side effects, so we'll see if it makes any difference!!?
I probably wont do the iui again just yet, we'll see how everything else goes first! Anyways,i hope this is the year for you too! im so sorry about your miscarriages! Maybe call a fertility spec. in your area and see if they would see you? i went way before a year, who knows?

 

[Jaysbaby25]

Dream - congratulations!!! Hopefully you've sprinkled some good luck vibes in here!
Jay - I'm so sorry your IUIs didn't work. So glad you've joined us though. Just remember those were in 2013. 2014 will be better. It just has to be!

Blue - stupid bfn! Hopefully it's just a bit too early. Will you test again?

Nina - hope you cold clears up. I hate having a block up nose. It's so hard to breathe through your mouth when trying to sleep (not to mention it playing havoc with your temps!)

I'm 6w4d so still stupidly early. I swear time slows the second a bfp appears ( and the tww!). No signs yet but did have a bit of cramping today which I'm praying was stretching. I have a scan on Friday which will be 7w3d, slap bang in the middle of when the twins died. I'm in a constant state of fear!

Thanks so much Hilslo!!! Your def right!! this has to be THE year!!! Good luck to you too!!!

 

[Jaysbaby25]

Welcome Jays- hopefully the femera works this cycle. Ive been trying for a year also. Off to see if the doc can give me anything... I dont think im lucky enough for him to help though xxx

Thank you!! I hope he can give you something!! Maybe femara to start? Did you go yet?? Good luck to you!!

 

[bridget021182]

Thanks ladies. This is my first full month temping. They have been all over the place. I will make a signature when I get home and include my chart from FF on it. I am really hoping that this is my month. Temping is a little confusing for me because my temps have been all over the place. I am now on folic acid and b6 and thinking about starting royal jelly as soon as possible and also read something about taking baby asprin too.

 

[ladyluck84]

Mrs b hope the appointment goes well! Let us know how u get on

 

[Nina83]

Blue and MrsB, you both have appointments today?
FX for good news!

Jays, we were at a FS last year, after about 7 months of TTC and he asked us to wait just 3 more months, I got a BFP 2 days later!
Sadly, that didn't end too well.
Our doctor told us to come back 6 months if we don't conceive again, he told us we obviously don't have any problem conceiving, especially because we caught the egg the cycle after the MC. All our tests are almost perfect, he said it's probably just stress or time.
In all honestly, I know that it takes more than half a year for many couples, most of those who get it on the first try are just lucky, it takes time! My doctor said that it's not fair for those ones to go around and brag or talk about it- because there are NOT the majority of the population! We don't see anyone going around bragging that it took them over 6 months No one talks about that.
DH has another SA towards the end of Feb, and we decided that we'll go back to our Doctor around March and see the FS again then if we don't get pregnant by then. I will definitely bring up the TSH issue, although I know he'll tell me I'm just a worry rat.
LOL, last time he looked at my tests and said he diagnosed me with a severe case or worrisome! He ordered me some time off

Bridget, I love stalking charts waiting...

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

My temp went down very low this morning so I guess af must be on her way. Off to my appointment now. X

 

[bluestars]

Hey Nina,

Rather disappointed with doctor to be honest. He basically said that there's nothing that he can do. If he referred us to the fertility clinic they would just turn us away because it "only been a year" apparently according to him the average to fall pregnant is 18 months. and that its just luck before that. Says he will look into a SA for Dons but he doesnt see it being a problem because we got pregnant a year ago. Said he will send me to the Gynecologist for them to test and see if have polycystic ovaries again because its unclear (but he doesnt think i do because of regular periods and normal hormones). So pretty much a wasted trip. He just wasnt entertaining at all. said he cant give drugs like clomid and femera because hes just a GP...

he is also convinced ill be pregnant in the next 6 months... i dont see it...

Told me to go home and forget about trying, have sex and it will happen. I think hes been thinking Dons has been sticking his penis in my ear!! We arent stupid we know the practicalities of it!!

Came home and got right into my onsie and now lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself xx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Blue sorry u were not impressed with your doc and your appointment didn't go better xxx

We have been put on the list for IVF. I can't decide if im pleased or not. We need to try naturally for a few months and then try 2 more rounds of clomid while we wait. It would be terrible to get IVF and miscarry but it depends on the reason for my recent miscarriage. I need to find those results out to understand this better.

Xxx

 

[bluestars]

I say that thats a good step forward MrsB! Your going to be holding your baby so so soon! Xxx

 

[hilslo]

Bluestars - grrrrrr! I'm so frustrated for you. I don't care what he says 18 months is not normal. I know it's not usual for our group but surely he should be able to offer some help or at least get a better plan for you. I'm so frustrated for you. Could you change him for a better model?

MrsB - I think that's fantastic news!! They can filter the eggs to see which looks best and so eliminate any weak ones. I have two friends who are about to pop or already have popped after Ivf. Fingers crossed clomid will work its magic for you before you get chance to start Ivf but at least you have a plan b. so glad your doctor is being proactive!

 

[hilslo]

Thanks ladies. This is my first full month temping. They have been all over the place. I will make a signature when I get home and include my chart from FF on it. I am really hoping that this is my month. Temping is a little confusing for me because my temps have been all over the place. I am now on folic acid and b6 and thinking about starting royal jelly as soon as possible and also read something about taking baby asprin too.

Do you always take your temp at the same time? Mine varies hugely if I take it anywhere outside of about a 20 min window.

Do you take b vits for a short luteal phase?

 

[bridget021182]

my ovulation chart should be in my signature now. take a look and tell me what you think.
