May ttc after loss.

[Nannars]

:P Here's hoping May is a successful month for all that are here. We each have been through so much. Let's hope some of us get to ring in the new year with apple juice and big ole' bellies!!

[kells22]

AMEN to that!!!
Good luck everyone!!!

[jlbroyles]

yes amen to that!!!

I *think* I am O'ing today. I thought I was yesterday but I had some O cramps most of the morning so I think today is O day. At least I hope it is. My temp was 97.7 this morning which is relatively low for me. Pre-O my temps range from 97.5-97.9 and I took my temp this afternoon and it was 98.9. Now I know your not supposed to take your temp after you get up or throughout the day but I always do anyway even if it doesn't mean anything. But anyway I'm pretty sure today is the today and I hope we caught the eggie. We have been bd'ing every other day since cd8 and we did monday and tuesday night. I'm guessing I will be testing on 5/16 or sooner. If I do get a bfp I need to get heparin so I will probably start testing around 11dpo.

Anything new with anyone else?

[melfab15]

i have decided after talking to the RE yesterday that I will test on sunday if still no AF but i am not holding my breath becuase i was gone at outdoor education with my students the week i ovulated and only got to BD one day with a positive OPK. Here's for dreaming but not holding my breath.

JL happy BDing

[Nannars]

Melfab-I am keeping my fingers, toes and heck even legs crossed for you now (dh is having sa done on friday no bding). Best wishes! Please note that I had only bd'd once prior to o on my bfp. We did bd the day after o, but I'm thinking that was too late. It only takes once and you have met that requirement!

Jl-Girl ya'll need to come up for air! Every other day since cd8-my dh wouldn't know what to do w/himself if I was that persistent. Sounds like you have all bases covered. Now we just wait..But while you are waiting I will pray for you as well.

Kells-Have you started taking the clomid yet? Did I miss that post? If so how is it going?

Nothing new with me. I still have one foot in the ttc bandwagon, the other is holding fast into the ground in fear of another mc (jl-you are so strong, I admire you so much). I guess in the back of my head I hope that if I do not put too much energy into ttcing and I still get pg, then IT JUST HAS TO BE. Since I had the "natural" mc (what a horrible way to describe it, what is **(&&^ natural about a mc) I do not know if it was a "fluke" occurence or if there is an underlying issue. I can only pray (i pray for everything have ya'll noticed) that next time will be a successful, healthy, happy one! We are going to get back on timed intercourse. I just haven't been as serious since the mc. The re is REALLY wanting me to get on the clomid. I guess maybe I don't want it that bad or I would already be on it. Lord have mercy RANT RANT RANT. long story short Nannars is conflicted on getting pregnant again in fear of another mc. sorry ladies to rant so.

[Ishall]

has anyone gone through the ivf process? if so, can you tell me a little about your experience. that is our next step (though we will do a 4th iui while waiting for all the paperwork to go through). we have to go to a mandatory class 5/23 and they're making it seem like a huge deal, but from what i read it doesn't seem that scary. the only scary part for me would be mulitples - but only bc of my weak cervix which couldn't hold one baby in. but if it works for us i would be so thrilled. i need this to work for us bc i am getting to the point where i'm losing hope.

[kells22]

I'm STILL waiting for af... GRRR :twisted: i'm really frustrated right now! If she doesn't show by sunday i have to take another lot of provera... I've never had to take two loads of it! :cry:

[jlbroyles]

Nanners- I understand that completely. It's hard to be completely on the ttc wagon in fear of another m/c. I heard this quote somewhere that describes my feelings perfectly..."my desire to have a child is stronger than the fear of another loss" I know how scared you are, just know that we are here for you. :)

kells- can't believe you still haven't gotten af...are you sure your not pg?

[kells22]

I tested last friday negative so no i'm not pg, even if i were the provera would still make me bleed. I'm really getting upset now... why am i having to wait so damn long to get what i want so badly????? Sorry i just can't hold in my frustrated emotions any more!

[JennyLeigh]

Hi Girls - I wanted to pop in and say Hi and that I think about you often. I hope that May is the month for your BFP and you get a New Year's baby!

((HUGS))

Jenny

[Kimmiec]

So a few days ago I went out and bought some OPKs just for the hell of it. To see if I was going to O and to get an idea of when I would be getting a period soon. Wouldn't you know it the second day of testing (yesterday) I had a positive OPK. I have NEVER seen what a pos OPK looks like. It was a miracle to me when Keelies preg test came back pos because I had been told I wasn't ovulating. This feeling I'm having now is so bittersweet I just don't know how to feel.

[jlbroyles]

are you trying again right away kimmie? I understand what you mean about it being bittersweet. I'm sure you are happy that you got a positive opk but it also means completely moving on from the baby you lost. I feel that way all the time.

As for me I think I am 1 or 2dpo. who really knows. I am going to test on mother's day I know that is probably stupid...my bf at work today her husband came in and asked her if I was pregnant...apparently I was glowing. WTF???

[melfab15]

well AF saved me the money wasting a PG test. She came for a mean old visit today. She has been killing me!!! Hope that you all having a great weekend.

[jlbroyles]

so sorry for AF mel but at least you didn't waste money on a pg test. Hope her stay is short. Are you trying naturally again this month?

Well the symptoms have started...we'll see what happens next week. Friday I had some weird stomach issues. It was like pressure in my lower stomach and I felt really bloated. Since then I have had some minor cramping, temps are obviously still high, today I have been so tired I had to take a nap, bb's have been tingley and sometimes sore...oh well another week of obsessing. :)

anything going on with anyone else???

[megs&david]

Mel- sorry about AF.

jlbroyles- I hate the 2ww. I obbess over the tiniest feelings. Hope this is your month. G/l holding out another week!

For me, it's only been 2 weeks since m/c. I go in tomorrow for hopefully my last hcg check. I am hoping it's negative because then we can start the countdown to use the Prometrium. I'm just tired of waiting already for AF! Hope you all have a good rest of the weekend.

[melfab15]

jlbroyles: we will be trying natually until the end of June. At that time, if we are not PG yet, we will take part in that trial where we get an IVF cycle for $3000. I am pretty excited about that but hoping that we do not need it.
I am hoping that all your symptoms are for the best jlbroyles! Have a great week!

[jlbroyles]

oh yeah I forgot all about that...well hopefully you won't need it but at least you have a plan b.

megs- hope your hcg is zeroed out so you can get af soon. Are you going to try naturally?

I feel like a fat cow today I am so bloated and bb's are swollen...ugh I wish this 2ww was over.

[megs&david]

mel- Good luck this month. Hopefully you won't have to go for plan b!

Jl- bloated and sore bb's are a good sign. I hate the 2ww! Hope it flies by for you.

I'm not really sure what we are going to do yet. My RE is not being very specific. I asked if we needed to use protection at least until my hcg levels are negative and she said it was up to us. But she doesn't want me to get pg this month either. Hopefully AF will come on its own and save us some time, but we will for sure take prometrium if it hasn't come by middle of June and then I plan on starting the Clomid and IUI the next cycle.

[kells22]

I'm finally able to ttc again... Af has arrived so i can get back to clomid tonight yay!
I hope everyone is ok today!
Take care ladies x

[megs&david]

kells- congrats on AF. It sucks waiting for her. Good luck. I hope this is your month!

[melfab15]

kells: welcome back babe! We missed you! How are you feeling?

[Nannars]

Jl-8dpo, How exciting! Here's wishing you have a blastocyst! Or is it a different stage at this point? All in all here's wishing!

Melfab-I hope this month/summer is it for you.

Megs-Hope af shows her ugly face soon so ya'll can get back to trying!

Kells-Let us know how the clomid makes you feel. I have a friend that gained weight on clomid-like 5 lbs! wth. Not sure if that's true for everyone, she's the first I've heard of it.

DH's sa came back..SPECTACULAR! So that is good. I have chickened out of dtd this week. This is THE week. I have actually had helacious amounts of cm too. I have never had it like this-Eweee. But now I'm scared. Maybe this means I am not ready. DH is ready, but I have conflicting feelings. Sooo we will seee.

Here's wishing lots of bfp's to you ladies!

[megs&david]

nannars- I would think it's totally normal for you to have conflicting emotions about TTC again. I don't think that doesn't mean that you are not ready though. I hope you get it all figured out. If this isn't your month maybe you will feel more ready next month!

[megs&david]

okay one more thing. Did any of you lose a bunch of weight after m/c? I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks. I am not overweight so that is a lot for me. Did any of you experience this?

[ndinkel]

I lost five pounds in about two weeks. At the end of the pregnancy I weighed the most I ever had, 110lbs. I wsn't sure if it was the lack of wanting to eat or the loss of the baby.

[kells22]

Mel- i'm feeling very good now that i can start ttc again... The wait was totally draining me of every ounce of patience i could find!!

I think af is actually going to leave soon, unusual for me to have a short period (not complaining though!) I really hope all of our dreams come true ladies... We all deserve it soo much!!

Nannars- the last time i took clomid i didn't put on weight but i will keep an eye on it and let you know!

Hope everyone is having a pleasant day xx

[melfab15]

kells: This is my second cycle after my MC and it was REALLY short for me. It was about 4 days . . . nice, dont get my wrong but the first day was a killer. I got so miserable I actually took a vicodin just to sleep. I never do that. Hope that you all have a great weekend!

[Nannars]

Kells/Melfab-I agree that the few cycles I have had have been much mor painful. Normally prior to mc they were just an inconvienience, now I find myself reaching for the ibuprofen. Melfab-Not that ibuprofen is similar to vicodin, but definitely more painful for me.

I have reached out to the "boys". Poor dh, since his sa came back good, I have been "not so friendly". Today however we dtd, if it happens it was meant to be, if not then I don't have to worry about mc'ing for the time being. I should be o'ing ( I am hiding from the thermometer too!), luckily I o every month, but I o late'ish, around day 19. The only time I have o'd late since being dx and on met (now off of it), I got pregnant. Maybe that's why I mc, I was an extremely long cycle. I o'd like on day39 I think. Well I wish you ladies the very best, and a Happy Mother's Day, it probably won't be "Happy", but personally I do feel included. I haven't voiced that to anyone. I did tell my husband, I don't think he "got it". Who knows, he's always trying to be strong for us. What a good man. Well that's all for now-Hugs!

How's Jl doing?

[melfab15]

nannars: me too. I O'd on CD45 the time that I MC. I wonder if there is something behind that.

[jlbroyles]

JL is not doing well. I am 99% sure that AF is around the corner. Last night we went to the mall and there had to have been like 500 pregnant women...ughh. Just not in a good place right now. Considering taking a 3 month break to lose as much weight as possible but we'll see.

[Nannars]

jL-You know I have became the queen of "breaks". I am not really trying to NOT get pregnant, but the whole knowing where my cm is at any given time is over (well unless its evident). So gl with whatever happens.

Melfab-On the long cycle thing. I have wondered if it was "too old" of an egg, and not the greatest quality, if that makes any sense ??

Today was okay. I went to visit family 2 hours away. My cousin (theme from Beverly Hillbillies is playing at the moment to set the scene) who is 21 and just this year got out of jail...She was in jail because I think she was stealing to pay for her substance abuse problem. (not judging, just stating). She was still hanging out with or still was part of a bad crowd, DRUGS/CRIME ETC. Anyway well she's due with a baby boy (i had no idea-zilch) , guess when she is due???????August 19!!!!!! I am trying to not to play the whole , "OH SHE IS PREGNANT AND I AM NOT" , but ladies lets face it, i am so thinking it. And I admit it's not right for me to think that. For me to even think that my baby should be here and hers should not, is just horrible of me! But I admit, there was a bit of harbored envy (not of her situation-ya;ll know). Her and I would be identically along pregnant. How that for irony? I think nobody told me on purpose. I guess it's better, kind of like pulling a band aid off really fast. I did have an aunt bring up my baby, I did not feel like discussing it today. She just said it in front of everyone. I guess had it been more secluded it would have been okay. Instead I was like I"M OKAY, everything is good. Sometimes peoples timing is just OFF. Well ladies guess I'll go. Hugs!!

[melfab15]

Nannars: I wonder that too. Hmmmm . . . . .

[kells22]

Nannars- Just before i found out i was pg i had a heated conversation with my brother about his wife and him not taking precautions but still not wanting a child... Well about 2 weeks later he told my mother they were expecting! My mum broke the news to be and to put this mildly 'i wasn't amused!'
I then found out i was pg with twins, that took the edge off the anger i felt towards them, it was easier to bear because i was having children too!!
I found out my pg was definately failing on the thursday and got told My nephews due date that friday... 11 aug- MY DUE DATE I took it hard for a while and kinda held a grudge but i can say with all honesty that now i'm totally over it and looking forward to my nephews arrival... I don't know how i will be around the time my Sil gives birth... we'll see!
We really must give ourselves a pat on the back for being so strong... most people have no idea how hard it is to ttc. We all face it head on, accept bad news and enjoy good, we are already great parents... And we will get our time!!

[melfab15]

kells: you are very strong and you never know, you may be PG by the time that she delivers too. Good luck babe!

[kells22]

Thanks mel... I really do apreciate this board and you guys, you all keep me strong!

[Nannars]

hey ladies, how are all? JL-What's going on? Any news?

I am in the 2ww, closetly though. I have gotten much better about not worrying throught the WHOLE 2ww. We bd'd on 0-1 and 0 day. Not the best , but there have been plenty of times where we bd'd all of the time and BFN. So if it happens this time then at least I will know conception to the minute. Well got to go dh just home! Hugs!!

[melfab15]

nannars: I hope that this is it for you. It onyl takes once and the baby that I just MC was a great sign of that. Miracles happen everyday!!!

[megs&david]

I think that I am getting ready to O- without meds! My temp dropped .5 degrees today and I have a bit of EWCM. It has been 3 wks since m/c. My REI said as long as it has been 3 weeks and my hcg levels are down we don't have to use protection any more. But now that I am there and about to O I am freaked about it. I think I might wait until I at least get AF again before we stop using protection. I really want to get pg again, but is it okay this soon?

[kells22]

Meg- people have got pg straight after a m/c with success but i personally wouldn't reccomend it... it takes time for the uterus to recover and for the endometrial lining to become strong and healthy again, so your chance of another m/c is increased if you get pg right away.
I m/c'd in 2nd feb- and this is the first month since then that i've actively ttc'd. I didn't use protection the other months but wasn't 'trying'
Take care x

[Nannars]

Good luck Megs-I agree with Kells on waiting. NOW don't get me wrong I didn't wait, didn't get pg either, but there is/was a lot of emotional things that I had not sorted even though physically I was okay.

[Nannars]

Jl-Wherever you are I hope you are okay. I do hope you are not beating yourself up, I just have to know your house full of babies are coming ya'lls way. (((HUGS))))

Well I kind of cheated. Well sort of. I called the doctors today. I am cd24 5dpo and am feeling the need. I called to have some bw done to confirm ovulation. Even though last week I had huge gross TMI amounts of cm-NOTE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT IN YUCK QUANITIES. So then I started temping and we bd'd ovulation minus 1 and ovulatation day. So it's a possibility. And since I have lost another 6 lbs recently (seriously in like 2 weeks wth), I just know that's what will happen. You hear that alot where women lose weight and BAM. So this has got to be a positive ending no matter what. A. I get pregnant and hopefully will go full term to a healthy happy baby. B. I am losing weight and will have a bit more time to lose more, so hopefully i won't be unhealthily big during pregnancy. I really worry about that being fluffy already that when I get pg, I won't be able to move OR when the baby's born the weight will stay forever and I won't be able to play with my babies. Yea like ya'll I sure we worry about everything! (((HUGS LADIES)))))

[kells22]

Nannars- i really hope it's A. your pg and minus 6lb!!

Time is dragging for me because i'm so excited to be ttc again... i can't wait to O so i can go into the 2ww... and then i can't wait to test! Ha! I think i may go a little crazy this month haha! :lol:

I hope everyone is alright today. Take care my friends! x

[Nannars]

Awe thanks Kells! I have a friend that was having trouble conceiving and on her first month of clomid-BFP!!! She is now 14 weeks, so best wishes!

[kells22]

Thanks Nannars. I took clomid for 5 months last year... thats how i got pg with twins. I was on a low dose 50mg. This time i'm 100mg so i really hope that it will halve the time it takes to get me pg again! x

[megs&david]

Thanks for your input guys. My temp dropped even lower yesterday to 97.1 and was up to 97.5 today. So I'm not sure if I O'd on my own or not. I will keep monitoring. We did BD, but used protection. DH really wanted to try again this month but I ckickened out! As much as I want to be prego again, I want to give the next baby as much of a chance as possible. Plus I'm still pending on my b/w for clotting and bleeding disorders. Next month will be our month.

So kells, I am like you- I can't wait to just get started already! I hope that 100mg does the trick for you!

Nannars- I hear what your saying about the worrying. I never used to worry this much until I started TTC. I hope you are A. pg and 6 lbs lighter. Good luck!

[Nannars]

call me crazy, but I swear I am feeling some feelings in my lower right hand regions. wonder what's going on down there. ooh maybe its implantation. guess if i'm right i can pull this email up in 9 days! hmm

[jlbroyles]

nanners- Sending you implantation dust!! Sticky baby stick!!! :)

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been really depressed lately and didn't want to bring everyone else down. I have had several breakdowns at work lately and I think my co-workers and beotch of a boss think I am crazy. DH and I even had a little tiff the other night.

Anyhow, I don't know what's going on with me. The last time I tested was tuesday I believe and was bfn. I am 99.9999% sure that I O'd either on 5/2 or 5/4. I have had BAD AF cramps for the past 3 or 4 days. I thought for sure AF was coming but everytime I go to the bathroom there is not even a trace of blood but loads of CM. I have had high post O temps for 17 days now. So basically my thoughts are that either AF is on the way very soon or a delayed bfp is coming. Who knows...if no AF by monday morning I will retest. Right now my stomach/ovarys is really achy. In some ways I just want something to happen even if it's AF so I can move on...

[Nannars]

Jl-Maybe your lil one is being hard headed-Hope so!

Well ladies here are my symptoms sore boobs, achey nether regions, indigestion (wake up burping up night before's dinner-not normal), I would bet that I was pregnant. AND I DO NOT GAMBLE. SO we will see. I would definitely be surprised if I wasn't. Maybe I'll have the dr's office to a hcg as well as progesterone tomorrow when I'm there. I'll let ya'll know!!

[jlbroyles]

ok so I had the faintest of a line tonight. I am confused. I thought if I was late that I would get a dark line. I don't know maybe I am seeing things. But I would swear that I am preggo. I had AF type cramps for like 3 or 4 days, they were the worst cramps I've ever had, but today they are gone and there has been no trace of blood. The latest I could have O'd would have been 5/4 which would make me 16dpo. If no preggo I should be getting AF. My temps have been up for at least 17 days and today they were in the 99's. I am going to test in the am and get a beta to be sure. What do ya'll think?

nanners- I hope we are preggo together!!!

[Nannars]

definitely go get bw, that will ease lots of things for you. i will pray for you tonight and keep everything crossed for ya'! (((hugs))))

[kells22]

Jl + Nannars- i hope you are both pg... come on, let the bfp's roll in! x

[kells22]

Things are going so slow for me... I had to wait all this time since m/c to start ttc and now waiting to O... then waiting to test, i'm just so fed up with waiting! Come on O already!!! Time is dragginggggggggggg! :roll:

[jlbroyles]

sorry to disappoint but I think the faint line was in my head. I started spotting this morning and expect full blown AF by this afternoon. This majorly sucks donkeybutt. I have made an appt. with an RE for June 17 so until then I am going to exercise my butt off and eat healthier than kirstie alley to get under 200lbs by then. Thanks for all the thoughts.

[melfab15]

nannars and JL: wow girls. I am starting to not be able to keep track of your girls. it seemed like it took so long for us all to get BFP then we all MC together and now you guys are back to the BFP boards? Oh geesh!

JL: i hope that it is just minor spotting and that you test again today and the line is still there. Love ya girls!

[Nannars]

melfab-well not official for me yet. but keep up the positive thoughts!

jl-if af isn't full force i wouldn't rule a bfp out yet. gluck!!

I had bw done this morning, but they wouldn't do the hcg reading since I am only 8dpo. GROAN. So i go in on sunday morning for hcg-fingers crossed!!! They did run the progesterone and it was 11.5, so I am on the prometrium. here's hoping for a bfp!!!

[jlbroyles]

it's full flow and nasty...this really sucks. This is the last natural cycle then it's off to the RE on June 17. I took this a lot harder than last month. ughh I hope this gets better soon.


G/L nanners

[Nannars]

awe thanks jl- i really have my hopes up this time, it will be harsh for me as well if all of this ends up coincidental. :-( hopefully not though, trying to stay positiv

[melfab15]

oh JL, I am so sorry that you are having a rough period. my last period was harsh too. I hope that you feel better soon babe!

[Nannars]

jl-just figured out you meant physically hard af, i didn't read right. hope she is wearing off. ((hugs))

Melfab-any symptoms you would like to share with the group to over obsess over? i am the queen of it this month.

kells-any sight of o yet? i have heard that on clomid you may o later. heck for us that o late anyway, wonder when it will happen? gluck!

i started prometrium yesterday, not sure it that's the reason i cried all through american idol-but i did from beginning to end. oooh whee i best end up with a bfp this month or i am gonna be some kind of set up for heart ache. after emphatically swearing i wasn't going to emotionally do to this to myself- I HAVE...

hope all ladies are doing well!

[melfab15]

well since you asked nannars: I am having loads of EWCM, it feels like I have peed my pants. (sorry for the TMI) but the OPK stick is negative. I have only had them work for me once before but anyways DH and I are trying to DTD every night until it goes it away. So far so good but I am tuckering out. Send some love dust my way please.

Lots of sticky dust to Nannars and lots of feel better dust to JL!

Kells: how are you?

[jlbroyles]

thanks mel and nanners. I'm slowing getting into this next cycle. I'm hoping my body kicks itself into gear before this appt. on 6/17. I do feel so much better today as I followed through on my Weight Watchers and exercising plan. I got on the scale this morning and it said OUCH!!! I just hope I can repeat my good behavior tomorrow. I'm also excited because tomorrow I am going to get a pedicure...I haven't had one in 5 yrs!!!

Sticky Dust to nanners...
O dust to kells...
LOVE dust to melfab...

[megs&david]

I posted this on the fertility board too, but wanted all of your opinions as well since you all have been through m/c.

I have a quick question... I thought that I was going to O over the weekend. My temps went from being 97.7 almost everyday to 97.1. The weird thing is that I am still having low temps and they are not increasing. This morning was 97.0- that makes like 5 days at a low temp. Now I am probably messed up because I'm not on meds this month. But just now I had a lot of wet EWCM- it felt like I wet my pants. But my cervix feels hard and low. Isn't it supposed to be high and soft? We aren't TTC this cycle because of the m/c. But I'm monitoring things as a test to see what my body does on its own. Anyone ever had this happen? I'm not sure if all this means I'm going to O. Any thoughts?

jl- I'm so sorry about AF. It's not fair! Hope she goes away soon so you can get going on that BFP!

mel- maybe the OPK's are not working for you. Especially if you have EWCM. I hope that's a good sign. Have fun BDing!

Nannars- I hope this is it for you. Are you having the same symptoms as you did last time? When do you get to test again?

Kells- I understand about the waiting. It takes forever for things to get going again. But I guess I can't complain as it's only been 4 weeks. The last time I wasn't on any meds it took me 6 months to get AF. Hope your wait goes fast for you. I think these boards really help pass the time.

[kells22]

Nannars, mel- I o'd today YIPPEE! I'm feeling soo excited now!

Nannars- yay that is the best news that yr pg... i know it's not confirmed yet but i have a good feeling about this one!! Sticky, sticky vibes comin your way!

Mel- sounds like O is heading your way... i hope so much that june will be our month!

Jl- how are you? i'm so sorry af is being horrible for you. I really hope you are alright!

[jlbroyles]

yay kells. It must have been all the O dust I sent your way...haha

I'm doing alright today. I just finished exercising and need to clean the house...then it's off to lunch and a pedicure with a friend.

[Nannars]

Melfab and Megs-I swear if you look back on my profile for early dec you'll find a post where I said the same thing in regards to wet pants feelings. And that one ended in a bfp!! So good luck to ya'

Megs-I have never really been able to get the whole cervical position thing. Temping has always been pretty easy for me.

Kells-So happy you o'd, did you and dh cover all bases? Hope so, now your in the horrible 2ww-hope it goes by fast!

Jl-so jealous of your pedi, i haven't had one in forever. maybe if bfn this time i'll treat myself. a pedi and a margarita! just jokin i don't drink

well I poas today 5 days early this afternoon and not pregnant. i even splurged and got the digital kind, but it did have two in the pack. When should I use the other one? I get bw done on sunday, but ya'll know I'd love to know before then!!!

Nannars- luck has been on my side these past few day's, i have covered all bases! I feel nervous at the moment because i know i'll be dissappointed this month if bfn... i mean i'll be REALLY dissappointed!

Megs- i've never done the cervical positioning thing, i have a hard enough time with opk's! I don't think i could take anything else to stress about!

mel & megs- i have charted my ewcm for the first time this cycle and BOY did i have loads of cm around O! Our bodies are amazing don't you think?

JL- hope you feel more relaxed after your nice day and pedi- are you wearing sandals to show your lovely pinkies off? haha!

Hope everyone is alright today!

[melfab15]

somebody fill me in, what is cervicle positioning?

[kells22]

Mel- this is a bit graphic but it should answer your question!...

Begin checking your cervical position after you have completed your menstrual cycle. When checking your cervical fluid or position - insure that your hands are clean and fingernails are not rough.

There are a few positions that you can be in to check your cervical position. It will depend on what you feel the most comfortable with. Which ever position you choose should remain consistent throughout the length of your cycle. Some women prefer and have no problem checking while sitting on the toilet - other women find it difficult to locate their cervix in this position during fertile time and may need to either squat down on the floor with knees bent and open or putting one foot upon the bathtub or toilet seat.

With one hand holding back the vaginal lips insert the other hands middle finger into your vagina. Move your finger up until you hit your cervix. It should feel like a rounded cylinder shaped mass within your body.

The position of your cervix will vary within your cycle. It will be low in the first phase and start to rise closer to ovulation and then will lower again after ovulation has occurred. When checking for the first time and are unsure what low or high should feel like, when high your cervix is almost unreachable with you fingertip.

Once charting and have gone the changes your cervical position takes on - you will have a better understanding of what a low, mid and high cervical position is.

Kells pretty much summed it all up!

Well still no af and i tested again this morning 4days early and not pregnant-which might i add is quite frustrating to have to read on them **** digital tests. I didn't quite think that one out. knew it would be cute to se YEAY PREGNANT!, but not so the other route. Well who knows wth is goint on, I am losing my positive vibes :( :(

[megs&david]

Nannars- don't give up yet! You are just testing too early. Wait until 14 dpo and try again. Your symptoms are a positive sign! Try not to worry about it too much- I know easier said than done!

Mel- kells explained it really well. I have been checking my cervical positioning for a while and it's still hard to tell sometimes. I'm pretty sure that all the EWCM I had meant nothing- my temps are still very low for me and the cervix is still really low. Oh well. I guess I will be taking Prometrium June 1 since AF doesn't want to come.

As for me, I'm trying to take it easy. I have a horrible sinus infection. After a week of trying to convince myself it's allergies or a cold, I finally went to the dr. I now have antibiotics so I'm hoping to feel better soon.

[Nannars]

I knew the post was around here somewhere. *in reference to wet pants*

Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 5:41 pm Post subject: *&%$######## it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well my temp was up to 98.1 today and I've had tmi like wet pants all week long. I told my mom I felt like I've pd my pants. I even looked up bladder incont. ( I know I'm obsessed, I have to be obsessed with something). So for kix I bought a o test ++++++++++++++++. But I know that it is not uncommom for pcos women to get + because of lh levels BUT I took an o test on tues and ------------. Isn't it weird that I've now doubled my poas addiction? So I have been completely unfrisky this week last Do was sunday I think, I will bd as soon as dh gets home but it's probably too late! (((*&&&&&^&^ How did I get in the 2ww twice! Arghh...

[esarah]

Meghan- Sorry you have a sinus infection. I too was trying to convince myself that it was allergies or a cold but I have had a headache for 12 days now and I went to the doctor last night and I have a sinus infection that got really bad and an ear infection. Yuck!

Take care, drink pleanty and rest.

Nannars- Don't give up yet. Take a couple of days break and try to relax in that time. I am not giving up on you yet! I know the waiting game is so hard when you want something so badly.

Good luck to everyone here. I still check in here often because I truly understand what you are going through.

[Nannars]

Esarah-Thank you for the kind words. In the same boat it great to see someone who has faced such sorrow making to that 36 weeks we all strive for-congrats to you.

[melfab15]

nannars: ok I too have had some weird POAS addictions this month. Here is the scoop.

Monday: positive OPK
Tuesday: positive
Wed: Negative
Thurs: positive
Fri: negative.


So we have been BDing every day this week except thur night. I do not know what is going on but i have been nausaus, sharp ovarian pains on the right, crying every minute, and tired. AHHH! This has been a hard week.

[Nannars]

Melfab-keep up the good work!!!

Megs-How is the sinus infection? those are the worst! I will feel just like my face is bruised!

I am horrible. Still testing...Early...and getting negatives... Why can't I be one of those girls who test early and "oh my goodness how fantastic, what dr v my results are in the thousands already and everything is impressively normal, and wow i am the picture perfect view of pregnancy!" YES A BIT DRAMATIC! I have had some dull cramping the last few days, which is out of the normal. For whatever reason I never see af coming, but once she is here then i get cramps. Again I am probably psycho sematic (right word?) , where it all in my head. Well I did buy the digital set that had 3 tests today though!!! AH HAH, How bout that! I CAN TEST EVERYDAY, AND MAYBE TWICE TOMORROW! AH!! Again dramatic. I did do some gardening tonight which got my mind off of bean or no bean for oh maybe 15 seconds. I developed this hobby to keep me from becoming ttc psycho girl (clearly it didn't last long), but I have acquired quite the green thumb. I will post some after pics-they never look that great first planted. I also bought some BLUE nail polish, which is out of the norm for me, but what the heck why not! So I am fixing to shower, paint my toes blue, and sit down to see what the newest is with US Weekly (guilty pleasure). Ladies I wish you all sanity! No I can't bless you with any, but if any of you have any to spare,please by all means... ((((Hugs))))

[megs&david]

nannars- I think that we all wish for that to happen- that the doctor is so amazed at how well everything looks and early BFP. I hope that you can hold out a little longer testing. I also understand how it comsumes your mind. That's how I feel about m/c- I think about it a lot. Sometimes when I am around other people I think that they must be thinking about it too, but they aren't. I hope that TTC will help me to move on a little more.

My sinus infection is not any better. I know what you mean about the bruised face. I have also had the worst headache! But it was only my first full day on medication. I really hope I feel better soon because I haven't had a day off in a long time and I want to enjoy the long weekend. DH is determined to paint the outside of our house tomorrow or Sunday if the rain holds off. We have a couple of friends helping, but I hate painting and I am just not feeling well. Hope you all have a great weekend.

ok so now i would just like to add that realy late last night, I got a positive on my OPK kit so what the heck is going on? Could I have ovualted twice? PLEASE HELP ME YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

[Nannars]

Are you temping? The times I have tried opk's I also had to rely on the ole thermometer. Gluck!

[melfab15]

I do not do the temps because it was so worrysome. Also, my CM has been matching up with my OPK results. SOOO confusing!!!

[kells22]

Hey my friends- i hope everyone is doing alright today!

i have a good feeling about June you know... i really think the pregnancy loss forum will have a few grads in the next few weeks! With all my heart i hope i'm right.

I can't bring myself to leave this forum, i feel so comfortable here with you guys!

[Nannars]

Kells-I'm glad you have a good feeling about June...cause I'm gonna need it. BFN

so sad, why i do this to myself every single time, I will never know. I wish I could find some middle ground with the ttc thing. I just haven't been able to.

Hope all ladies are well!

[jlbroyles]

so sorry nanners. I know what you mean thought about there being no middle ground. I'm either not interested at all or completely obsessed by it. I'm in the "waiting to ovulate" phase right now. Hopefully in the next week or two I will and can get a bfp for our anniversary next month. Here's hoping to June! I have an appt. with an RE on June 17 and am still trying to shed as many lbs. as possible. I have lost 3lbs. this week so I guess that it good, I still have 7 more lbs to go in 24 days.

Anyhow enough rambling...

tata for now

[melfab15]

JL: that is great, contrats on the weight loss! Good luck for a june baby, that would be so romantic. I am doing the same, our anniversary is June 25th. good luck to us both!!!

naners: I am so sorry for the BFN. I am hoping that we can all be June grads and leave this board together.

Kells: how are you babe? I hope that you are having a great weekend

I am waiting to test until June 7th becuase I am pretty sure that I o'd on May 25th-ish so the 7th would be 14 DPO. If AF comes before that or if symptoms start to show then I will test before that, otherwise I am trying to hold out till the 7th.

[kells22]

Ok ladies, i'm down in the dumps.
When i'm happy, i'm really happy but when i crash, i crash hard!
I feel soo negative about getting a bfp this cycle. I just feel like i'm never going to feel how wonderful it is to be pg again!
I think i'm finding it hard because this is my first month of ttc after m/c. I'm dreading testing and seeing that horrible single line, grrr! I'm in self pitty mode right now.
Guys... please give me your words of wisdom and help me out of this horrible state!?
:cry:

[melfab15]

kells: I am sorry! Being down really sucks, i had a break down last tuesday so i know how you feel. Just let yourself be upset but then fins something that you like, for example, i went on a romantic date with DH. Remember, being upset can effect the implantation process so once you have a good cry, get out of it.
