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

[Literati_Love]

That's frustrating, apple! Maybe it's time to get a FRER just to see? It sounds promising!

 

[Jrepp]

I agree with LL apple, get an frer. My supposed evap was actually a short lived bfp, maybe yours is a more long term bfp!

Hey ladies, sorry I've been a bit quiet - I've been following and thinking of everyone, though. I seem to be having another anovulatory cycle this month - pretty down about it. Thought that was one thing I could rely on. I feel like things are getting worse over time and I'm finding it hard to keep up my hope. Hitting my due date and not even back trying to conceive, physically. I've no idea whether things will reset with time or what's going on. I'm starting acupuncture next Friday, and am thinking of going privately for an anatomical ultrasound to see what's going on in there. I'm going to wait two more months and if nothing happens, I'm going to see a specialist. Surely it's time for a lucky break?

Sorry for the rant

oh boo I'm so sorry! that sucks and so frustrating. I am in the same boat. missed my date over 2 weeks ago. I hope you can find a good specialist if that's what you choose to do. thinking of you!

 

[penguin1]

oh Apple I hope you get a better reading soon. wishing that af away!

jrepp, so sorry for your loss

 

[Jrepp]

I have been very crampy all day today. What I wouldn't give to see what's going on in there.

 

[celine]

Oooh apple i hope af stays the hell away!
Mrsw i had to laugh, the things we do for ttc eh?

Welcome back annie, how brave u are to have gone to the shower, if you girls are up to it i have a funny story? I too was at a baby shower this weekend, for someone who was due in april like me but of course ive healed and pregnanatnso im ok.
Well only the mama to be knows im preggo cos its a secret so i wore my only lose shirt (black) and covred up wit a scarf. We get there and they serve wine or sangria! Host goes to fetch a special non alcoholiv bev for the mama to be..so i go ermmm, hey can i have a coffee? (Nice save!)
Then the first game, the host shows us to tie a balloon round our waist and pinch a coin inbetween our knees and run, one at a time, like a race.mwhen i go first she says hey just shove it under your shirt..omg i was so embarressed cos i had to squeeze it in there!

Well i survived the rest of the day! Phew. I cant hode the bump so i wore a normal shirt at church and got a few funny stares it was hilarious. I might do that at playgroup Thurs to see the reactions hehe. I will announce Next week Tues...so trying to get my wording correct, i really want to start with "celine iphas been prnant for 40 weeks now and even though it is my due date i have no baby to show. In the kast 40 weeka ive been pregnant three times, two angels loves and wanted have left scars on my heart forever. I am blessed today to share i am almost 19 weeks oregnant and finally feeling optimistic."

Oh wow...i think i migt have found my wording?

 

[apple_20]

Celine that sounds perfect wording.

AFM AF arrived today. Just as I did another test with a different brand to check. It has a very faint line too so looks like another chemical?
Do you think I should go to docs if I've had 2chemicals in 2 months? Im worried now that the d&c has damaged me I'm very down now.

 

[Kittycat155]

apple_20: I had 2 chemicals back to back and now am 5W1D. I had a MC in July and passed baby naturally at home so no experience with D&C. Doctor trip couldn't hurt. Maybe they can US you at some point to check lining/run some blood. Sorry it worked out way it did. I know the feeling of so close yet so far. Hope you are able to find some answers.

 

[Jrepp]

I am so sorry apple! I think you should talk to your doctor, but perhaps you should give your body a break?

 

[Munchkin30]

So sorry Apple.

Celine that sounds perfect xx ANd i love your baby shower story. Makes me LOL!!

 

[celine]

Oh Apple

Do what you thibk best, i think on your shoes id ask the professionals what to do. Its heartbreaking especially since you have a perfect ds.

 

[apple_20]

Thanks everyone. I don't know what I! Going to do yet probably go to the docs though. I just know they will say its just something that happens and I'll be fine etc. Alot of doctors dont count chemicals as mc but I'd rather he knew about them so if it continues to happen he will take me more seriously. Everything I'm going through for baby no.2 makes me realise what a miracle my son is.

 

[Literati_Love]

Apple - I would probably go to the dr about 2 chemicals. It would at least be good for your dr to know what's going on. Hopefully everything will sort itself out and you'll get your rainbow BFP next month though.

Celine - loved your baby shower story! Sounds so awkward. Your wording for your announcement sounds just perfect though!

 

[slg76]

Celine: That is a beautiful way to announce. I'm sure everybody will be so very happy for you. It makes me smile to hear you say that you are feeling optimistic and looking forward to your new baby.

Apple: I'm so sorry you are going through a chemical again. If it were me I would talk to my doctor and ask for an ultrasound to see how my uterine lining looked and to make sure my progesterone was normal. I do know though that it's not as easy to get procedures like that done in the UK. I know I keep mentioning acupuncture but it is believed to improve egg quality. There are also supplements that can help with that. I think the main one is DHEA.

 

[Linnypops]

Apple - Sorry love. Can't hurt to speak to your doctor about it. X

 

[apple_20]

Thanks I will ask as this cycle has just been odd.

Spotting 12dpo then nothing then today 14dpo af except (tmi) it started very light brown turned reddy brown and a bit darker and is now barely anything.

Dear af if you've come to wreck my party please do it properly this is just confusing.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Apple the confusion is so hard isn't it. Treat yourself to something nice over the next few days to help pass the time, warm baths and chocolate with a good book. Maybe it's an implant bleed and not af? That did happen to me with dd. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you. Xx

 

[Literati_Love]

Just thought I'd update to say I heard the baby's heartbeat today! A healthy 165 bpm! So relieved.

 

[apple_20]

Thank you Mrs w. No its far to heavy now for ib but now she has properly arrived at least I can move on. On to February the first part of the month has the least pressure too. Off to have a bath and chocolates great idea!

Litaratilove woop for a HB. Must have been awesome to hear it. X

 

[Jrepp]

Yay LL! Did you have a scan already as well? I can't seem to remember.

Celine - your baby shower story is pretty funny! I don't know how they all didn't notice!?!?

Boodley - have you spoken to your doctor? It seems like something isnt quite right.

Sara - how is the baby making process going with you?

Linny - 16 weeks! Do you have a scan coming soon?

Mrs. w - did you confirm o, or are you still waiting?

Penguin - how's everything going with you?

Afm: still just limping along. I was doubled over with cramps last night, but no spotting or bleeding so I don't know what it was from. Back to a mild ache in my uterus. I'm struggling with my decision not to use opk's this month, but I will persevere. I watched this video on YouTube about the fertilization process, and feel so badly for the sperm. Poor things go through a lot. I'm thinking I might go get some preseed to try this month, but I don't quite know if it will change my cervical mucus or what. I have also read it possibly increases chances of a miscarriage, and I seem to do alright in that department on my own without help. Hubby seems to be ok with my plan so far, which is just lots of bd until after confirmed o. It's really sweet of him, because he doesn't seem to be as easily excited as I am. Uterine scan is on Friday.......hurry up week!
