Waiting for ov after mc. 8BFPs so far!! *"the list" page 291*

[Elizabean]

Rachel - if it makes you feel better, my mom didnt get a positive test until 6 months with my sister

Wow!

 

[penguin1]

hi ladies, sorry ive been a no show on here. been super busy with work and mary kay. congrats literati on your bfp! hoping for a happy healthy 9 months!
rachel, sorry for your bfn, its still early and everyone is different, not all late bfps end in m/cs. you just have to think positive!
I saw a few posts about progestrone lotion, where can you get that? I spoke to my dr and he said that was one thing I could try to stop from getting af when I dont ovulate. just finished my 2nd af for the month, so now I wait for af next week and see if my cyst has resolved so I can go back on my meds again. hoping for a xmas bb at least.

 

[Jrepp]

You can buy it from Whole Foods or amazon.

 

[Literati_Love]

Penguin- I sure hope your cyst has gone away so you can try again this next cycle! A Christmas BFP would be amazing.

 

[Anniebobs]

Hi everyone, remember me?! I've oved now so I'm passed the dangerous point where I'd be tempted to try so have allowed myself to venture back over here! I am feeling a whole load better now and I'm looking forward to having a relaxed Christmas without the stress of ttc. Only 2 more ovs to go till we can get back on the horse! Going for cd21 bloods next week and then will be referred to a specialist (who will hopefully redo the bloods seeing as they're being done way too late but what do GPs know!) Feeling positive about next year.

I haven't read back through everything but oh my god literati I'm so happy for you huge congratulations on your bfp hope you have a fantastically uneventful 9 months!

And congratulations on all the positive scans, what a change from a few months ago. Can't believe we have some rainbow babies in the second tri already

Good luck to everyone trying this month, fingers crossed for an early Christmas present

Welcome back Annie! So glad you're feeling better and calm and sounds like you're dealing with the ttc 'break' really well! It's been an eventful couple of weeks, can't believe it's only 3 weeks since my bfp. It feels like forever! Glad theyre doing bloods. Hopefully after the break it'll be much clearer what's going on, or your body will have had a nice break ready for your bfp! Xxx

I know it feels like way longer than 3 weeks! I am so much more chilled out, I'm just enjoying dd a lot more and keeping busy. I really don't want to try right now, it's been such a headfuck having the 3 losses I am so happy to just end this year with a big glass of champagne and start afresh next year

It is so lovely to know that by the time I do get pregnant we will have some big rainbow bumps in here, it feels like there will be a happy ending for all of us eventually

Welcome back Annie - glad it's not been too hard on you!

I've self diagnosed myself - I'm either getting the flu or I'm pregnant - I never get this hot. It's November, I'm in South West England, my OH was wearing a coat (he NEVER gets cold) and I was really contemplated undoing my coat. I'm hoping the latter but I can guarantee it's the prior No sign of AF yet but thinking back to all of my cycles since I came off the pill I have until the 5th to wait I feel constantly sick so if I'm not pregnant I'm going to have to have a serious talk with my body about what it's doing
Ooohh I can't remember if I mentioned it here - the tests I'm using are cheap ones I've never used so early (the only time I used them was to check my levels going down after my mc) and on them it says 'reads from the first day of your missed period. Can read from 25mIU and above' but isn't 25mIU for before your missed period? Anyway that's given me the extra boost not to test today as if I am it might not read it until tomorrow. Now do I cave and test tomorrow like the poas addict in me is saying or do I wait until Sunday so I'm possible 2 days late and gives AF to come if I am a few days off?
Sorry I'm rambling now
Hope everyone's doing well today!

 

[Munchkin30]

Rachel that does sound promising and honestly if you've only used ICs. Particularly the same batch, I'd be trying a branded test in case they are duds. BUT in my first 2 cycles after my mc I felt more pregnant than I ever have (even now) and got my bfns. I was gutted because I was so convinced. I don't know if I was pregnant but it was chemical or my hormones were still wappy but I was convinced.

I really hope this is your bfp but if it's not you're not crazy. If I were you if be testing tomorrow but I am a Poas addict!

 

[celine]

Annie you should try garfies GP she (thinks she) knows everything
I was thinking of you cos you are also one of our "oldies" im glad you are somrelaxed and enjoying your dd, a great physical and also a mental break xxx

I have to share but you know i mentioned a friend who lost her baby at 30 weeks when it was discovered she died in utero? She obviously isnt herlself she is a friend thru bnb so ive never met irl, anyway a mum at the school run the other day said to her "if its any consilation, three kids are a nightmare" i mean...surely burying your baby is worse? I felt so angry!

Ive had scary thoughts now that this is so real like wth was a thinking etc, but the joy i felt seeing that hb....made everything right. I hate being pregnant, ive never been good at it, i feel like shit but i know losing a baby doesnt compare.

Annie - Like the way you're thinking - if I'm not pregnant this month I shall be having a glass for Celine/Munchkin/IAW/Eliz/LL and anyone else who can't drink by then - so I will be very drunk on New Year Hic!

Celine - My Doc is the best at least she has referred me for the abdo scan (on Monday) so I will have to fit it around a meeting at my sons school and work quickly have the scan and then back to work - I'm sorry about your friend who lost her baby - and also the woman on the school run how damn insensitive of her. I would say 3 may be hard but I wanna give it a go - I believe I will be good at it! then as I walk away I would probably say so shut the f'''' up!

Rachel - Hope you are getting a fever - Baby fever I would try with a different type as well and the POAS addict in me says tomorrow

How are all the pregnant ladies doing

AFM - I am also going to start my progesterone cream - as the one time I took it I got a BFP that cycle - co-incidence? remember though ladies if you are self medicating don't use it before ovulation as it will put your ovulation back and also the symptoms - sore boobs, headaches, bloatedness etc could just be the result of the progesterone and one more thing your temps may be a lot higher - so this makes everything unreliable in the tww just to add more confusion

Celine - People just don't think sometimes do they? Instead of sharing a real & painful moment with another person they'll sidestep it, which leads to agonisingly ridiculous observations like this.

Annie - Hey love, nice to see you're all chilled out and looking forward to some champers and good times. x

Penguin - Hope your cyst buggers off! Is there anything you can do to speed that kind of thing up? x

Rachel - Crossing my fingers for a bfp for you! Yeah I agree, try something like a frer next time if ic's don't seem to be showing anything. I find them so much easier to interpret and earlier results too X

We had thanksgiving dinner yesterday at my sis in laws. A good friend (who is married into the same family as I am, so kind of my sister in law of sorts) was in the middle of her 3rd mc. They have all happened in just over a year. She has a 4 yo and really wants a second but she is 43? and her body just isn't cooperating. My heart was breaking for her!! So sad.
Anyhow, it reminded me of you ladies and how strong you are to go through such loss and keep trying.

 

[Linnypops]

Slg - That is awful, my heart goes out to her. There is still a lot of hope for women over 40, i've read a lot of inspiring stories but of course it's more difficult and it doesn't help anyone going through mc to hear it at that point.....I hope she recovers well x

 

[garfie]

Aw bless her - I can emphathise with her - I'm over 40 and it's a lot harder this time round even in my thirties it was a doddle compared to now

I am grateful for the two I have - and my eldest never ceases to amaze me - he has had lots of pens taken at school, well today he was at school and he just knew that this boy had taken his pen - how did he prove it (they all look alike to me) he recited the unique code to the teacher - he got his pen back hmmmm so even though he has autism and problems how clever was he - I couldn't have done that could you? - just thought I'd share

[GRGirl]

Garfie- good on him! I can't remember stuff like that!

slg- How awful for her I know exactly what she's going through, I'm on 3 since July and it is SO hard

Rachel- I still have hope for you!

Penguin- hope your cyst goes away shortly

Jrepp and the rest of the "Progrsterone" peeps- add me to the list; I'll be starting it this cycle.

AFM- sorry I just popped on briefly guys; I was at my RE appt and saw LL got her + so had to jump on and say congrats- I literally yelled at my appt and when people gave me the side eye, said "My friend got her BFP!" Three ladies in the waiting room were like, "Awww good for her!" I didn't know how else to explain you LL; I figured they'd give me the side eye if I said internet friend

RE Appt went ok. She basically didn't have any answers for me. I have low protein S and am heterozygous for MTHFR a1298c, neither of which should cause MCs. But put all together, maybe there's an issue. So she said I'm starting progesterone this cycle after O, starting coQ10, and continuing high dose Folic Acid, B12, and my baby aspirin. Early next cycle I'll be going in for an HSG to check uterine lining and DF will probably at some point have a SA done. She wants to start with me, though, bc 3 early losses all before 6 weeks typically points to a lining or implantation issue? Clotting disorders cause MCs later on, like 6-9 weeks.

Also said my odds of a healthy THB are still 60-70% even after 3 MCs. I actually cried at those odds, bc they don't sound great But I'll take what I can get, right?

Working today and shopping online for Black Friday stuff. Only spent $33 thus far on 2 nail polishes and a purse. What I wanted to spend was about $300 worth until I realized I should save $ for all of the fertility treatment costs we're going to have

Hi GR sounds like you're getting somewhere with the re at least. I know it sounds rubbish but my instinct is that you might have just had terrible, terrible luck and the next one might be the one that works. I don't know if this helps or not (don't hate me if it doesn't!) but my SIL had 7 early mc trying for her second. They'd stopped trying and a few years later they accidentally got pregnant and now have a beautiful 2 year old boy. She saw re's but no one seemed to find the problem. It was almost like her DS HAD to be born so the other mc had to happen?? It sounds awful but he's such a strong little character we couldn't imagine being without him! Although it's totally totally heartbreaking it may just be a case of keep trying and maybe just not do any early hpts (much easier said than done!)
If I'm being insensitive just tell me but that's the way I see it xxx

 

[Literati_Love]

Annie - so great to hear from you again!!!!!!! I am glad you are out of the tempting period for this month and that you are enjoying the freedom to drink, etc. I just know your rainbow pregnancy will be very soon once you're back to TTC.

GRgirl- sorry your RE appt didn't help much but at least you have a bit of a plan now. I am really hoping as well that these were just anomalies for you and your next baby will be totally healthy!

I am glad you called me your friend. we are friends - no one needs to know it's online! Haha

Garfie- that is so clever of your son! Autistic people are often extremely intelligent.

Celine - how insensitive of that woman to tell your friend! People are so rude sometimes.

 

[slg76]

Garfie-how wonderful that you see your son's talents and not just his problems! Sounds like he was indeed being very clever.

I've had several friend tell me that they aren't sorry about their miscarriages because it led them to having the specific children that they do. I don't think it helps any of us now but hope we can see it that way someday.

How is this only CD4?? Really? I was so excited to ovulate that now the wait is seeming like forever.

 

[Literati_Love]

Slg - ugh, your TWW is taking forever for me too! I can imagine you are feeling pretty antsy by now! I do hope some good news is waiting for you in a week or so.

It's rather dead in here today!!! I thought I'd have lots to catch up on after work but no such luck!
