Megs-I am jealous of your vacation. Its so great to get away!

Melfab-I am keeping you in my prayers. Patience and Baby dust to you!!!

Kells-So sorry you are down. Each time a cycle is dwindling down its such a wash of emotions. Hopefully this time though yours will end in a bfp!

All is okay here. AF HAS MADE HER PRESENCE KNOWN!!! TMIII TMII TMII. Aside from the mc, this being only day 1 is bad. It's very heavy and clotty. I have never had that (aside from the mc), it's crazy. I still wonder what all the "feelings" were on my right side ovary, since I am clearly not pregnant. I called the re to announce af's arrival, but missed their call back, so i left another message on the nurse line and am waiting. This month they want to do the beginning u/s, if all is well then they want me to start clomid. At the risk of sounding like a brat, I don't want to take clomid, I want to have fantastic s** with my husband and get pregnant@!@!! Yes I warned you it would sound like a brat. So anywho I made the u/s apt, there is no use worrying about the clomid right now since they want to check cysts out first before I take the clomid. Ahh the beginning of a cycle!

Only for us is this such an event!

wow Jenny: why 6 months? That seems a little extreme.

Well, last night I was thinking i was going to throw up so I thought it was going to be a BFP for sure but then I started having little cramps today and then they went away so I am going to say no BFP for me, but i will still test on Sunday to make sure.

mel- don't lose hope yet! I had cramps the last week of my 2ww when I got my bfp. I was so sure that AF was coming so I didn't even want to test. Hope you are pleasantly surprised.

Jenny- Holy Cow! 6 months? Your poor DH! I hope they lift the restriction. That is a really long time!

Nannars

05-31-2007, 03:53 PM

Jennyleigh-Wow 6 months, I would probably turn into a S** maniac for the shear reason I couldn't do anything. But if it will help the lil one, I'd sign up for it too. Gluck!

Melfab-I am trying to send you positive energy. Did you feel it? :-0 It's just so frustrating.

U/s is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I am curious to see how everything is. I am still off of met. Getting off of the met strangely didn't effect my cycles. We will see tomorrow!

hey gals. Sorry for not posting much this week. I feel like I am always posting about being depressed but it is just how I feel the majority of the time right now. I have been doing good with eating right and exercising but the past 3 days have been awful, I could just crawl up in a ball and cry all day long. Work has been difficult there is a girl that just got married last week and started ttc on their honeymoon, I just know that next month she's going to come in pg. Anyhow I don't know what to do anymore I can't even stand the thought of hearing about a pregnant woman, seeing one, seeing babies or hearing others talk about their babies. Am i completely crazy??? I'm beginning to think I am. All I want is to be happy and that seems impossible.

Anyhow, I am supposed to be O'ing in the next week or so. Counting down to my RE appt on 6/17 and trying to lose as much weight as possible.

melfab- Can't wait to see your results on sunday. Hope it's a BFP!!

nanners- sorry about AF! Hopefully June is the month for both of us!

jenny- hi!

hi to everyone else. Hope your all doing better than me...Send me some happy dust I sure do need it.

jl- I'm sorry that you are so down. Don't feel bad for posting when you're feeling depressed. That's when you need our support even more. Do try to be a little more positive. I have days where I feel pretty happy and days where it's really hard to stay positive. I know it's easier said than done. I also know what you mean about preg ladies and babies. I'm skipping a baby shower this weekend and I've kinda been avoiding one of my friends that's prego. But you need to take care of yourself emotionally too. Sending lots of happy dust your way.

Kells- How was the clomid? Side effects, did ya feel bad, gain weight, bloated??? Do tell. I am filling my prescription this afternoon. Conservatively at 25 mg, but taking the next step all the same!!

Re had great things to say about my ovaries. They I think I understood correctly had 10 follicles in each one, does that sound right? He didn't that I know of have anything negative to say. How exciting!!!

melfab15

06-01-2007, 02:55 PM

nannars: I am feeling the positive vibes all the way here in Cali but I still have sick feelings and cramps so I am predicting a BFN. I will test on the 3rd and 7th though becuase the OPK sticks were so weird that RE didnt know when I had ovulated.

Kells: how are you feeling babe?

Nannars: congrats on the good follies growing!!!!

JL: things will get better, they have to. I agree though, take care of yorself, pamper yourself.

megs&david: were your cramps just like AF cramps? Did you have any PG symptons with the cramps?

Nannars

06-01-2007, 03:32 PM

melfab-with bfp 1 i had dull af like cramps prior to bfp

Just to let you know I had horrid heartburn with some nausea and was soooo tired just before my BFP. I also had cramping and my back ached and my boobs hurt just like before AF. Since we were not trying at all I was waiting for a BFN but no AF ever showed tested one day after she was due and it was positive. That is what drove me crazy each month because symptoms are so similar. And we were out of our house at the time because it was July and we had no AC from a week long power outtage and we were eating out every meal and sleeping in hotels/on floors/cots etc so I just wrote of the nausea/heartburn to eating so badly for a week. Lucky me the nausea continued. Wishing all of you guys baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

megs&david

06-01-2007, 06:55 PM

mel- yes my cramps were exactly like AF. I had sore nipples- but I also get that with AF. I was also gassy and tired. Nothing to out of the ordinary for AF. I didn't even want to test- I was so sure that AF would come. Don't give up yet!

Nannars- I am only crabby/moody for the five days that I take Clomid. I am not sure if I O sooner or not b/c I haven't Od on my own since TTC. The worst part to me is the hot flashes. Everyone at work can tell when I am having one because my face will go from pasty white to beet red all of the sudden. You are only going to be on 25 mg though- I'm on 100. The month that I only took 50 mg I didn't have any symptoms. So maybe you will be okay.

Thankyou ladies!

Nannars- i put on noticeable weight... i'm normally thin, i'm very lucky to have a high metabolism but i really did get podgy and bloated, it lasted a week and then my tummy went back to normal quite quickly. I don't think the weight gain is a perminent thing so don't worry too much about putting on long-term weight, i think it was mostly trapped wind haha!
I soo badly want clomid to work for you first round!
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s184/Baileybobs/23_33_15.gif

Awe thanks lady! Dh got to dtd thanks to you and yours this morning TMI, I told him it was your first round of clomid and bfp. Not that I'm o'ing right now, just getting some practice in!! I have a friend who complained about gaining weight on clomid, like you she got pg first round and also said the weight did come off even though she was pg. Congrats Congrats Congrats!!!

So not to rain on kells parade, but I was supposed to take my Prometrium last night. I chickened out. I was so excited for June 1 to come so I could start TTC, but now that it's come and gone I'm having my doubts. I'm a little freaked out and I'm super worried that I will O on my vacation. Maybe I'm not as ready as I thought I was. Did you all experience this? How do you deal with all the conflicting emotions about TTC? I feel like it's almost like I'd be no longer grieving for my lost baby if we move onto TTC again. Does that make sense. I know it's a little ridiculous because I will always grieve for and remember my little one that I lost.

Girl, I'm still not sure and it's been 6 months. I have not been as active ttcing as I was prior to mc. Just scared. I really think this is my first real month to take it as seriously. I had conflicting emotions not where I was worried about forgetting baby 1 or no longer grieving them but with not wanting a baby 2-I WANTED BABY 1. Prior to a mc for a woman (broad stroking it i know all women are different, but i think this is pretty true for women with fertility issues) okay back to prior to mc for a woman, you get pregnant-finally after temping and timing and 500 runs of bw a couple times a month-Yeay it finally happens pregnant. In my case-fantastic lets tell everyone and share all of our happiness. Finally you have a really being to put all of your previous dreams into. Even though over course i had worried about everything, at the time i couldn't even fathom what would go into a mc. It was one of those horrible things that I was so thankful to have not had to go through. My mom didn't have trouble ttc and had 2 pregnancies and 2 babies! No one on my dad's side had had mc that I was aware of, I felt I was worrying because that's how I am, but deep inside just felt everything had to turn out okay, but at the time I didn't think I was strong enough to handle it. Now after going through all of that, I think I will have trouble getting very excited like the first time. I worry about falling in love again and losing it. I had the "natural" mc, again what's so f'in natural about it-SORRY LADIES HATE THAT TERM. So anyway I worry that I have one of those clotting disorders and will lose another pg before they figure it out. ((Hugs JL-don't want to make you sad)) But again like I thought before I can't imagine going through it all again-so it causes/ed me to question the whole ttc process. I think maybe now (again think) I am ready to face whatever comes at me. God has a plan for me. No I don't think God said I want nannars to have a mc, but it's just part of something alot bigger than me. SO I am going forward with this clomid 25mg and also with the timed intercourse. If I get pregnant and make it to 9 months with hopefully 1 baby :o who is healthy-Fantastic! OR If in some awful way this pregnancy isn't viable then I will push further testing to see what the problem is, and then hopefully could start again fully knowledgeable of what needs to be done. Who knows how long this amount of clarity will last again Megs it took 6 months for me to get here. We are here for you and I will keep you in my prayers!!!

Kells- Congratulations. I have been keeping an eye out to see how everyone is doing and I was so happy to hear your good news!

I was on clomid for a while early, on while ttc. At that point I didn't know about the PCOS. I gained 5-10 pounds each month that I was on it and it was real weight gain, not just bloating. It was terrible. I really didn't like being on it and I never o'e while on it. Fortunately for me I have never had to go back on it. Metformin alone seems to do the trick for me. I have known some people who have no problems at all on clomid though and have great success. I hope that any of you who have to use it get good results without too many side effects!!!

Baby dust to you all! I think of you often and check to see how you are most days.

melfab15

06-02-2007, 03:40 PM

kells: congrats! I am so happy for you babe! If you do not mind telling, what were your symptoms??? I also saw on the other board that you POAS with an OPK test, what is the theory behind that? Can you please explain?

esarah

06-02-2007, 04:52 PM

I completely understand the fear you guys feel about ttc again after miscarriage. It's so hard. I really wanted a baby but I didn't want ot lose another one. I lost 12 pregnancies. It was a terrible every single time. There was this drive in me though, I really wanted a baby to hold and raise and I couldn't stop trying.
After 9 miscarriages while ttc #1 my new doctor, who had diagnosed the PCOS, decided to talk to a specialist who suggested testing me for a clotting disorder. When they tested me my results were very borderlline so they took a little while deciding if I need to be on a blood thinner. They decided to go ahead with it a couple of days later (I was already pregnant at this point). I took the heparin through about 32 weeks and then the perinatologist decided that was not my problem and took me off of it. Within a week I started having complications including preeclampsia. Fortuantly, I made it to 37 weeks and had a perfect little girl. I had a bad feeling about them taking me off the heparin and then I started having problems when they did. Still convinced that I had no clotting disorder the perinatologist told my doctor never to give me blood thinners with prengancy again. This devastated me. I knew that was what I needed (along with metformin) and it was the only way that I was able to carry my daughter.
When my daughter was 4 months old I found out I was pregnant again. They wouldn't let me have the heparin, I miscarried. I planned for it. I knew it was going to happen. It didn't matter, it was still as devastating. Then when my daughter was 10 months old I found out I was pregnant again. I begged for the heparin with no luck. I miscarried again. I was just angry that time. Angry at the perinatlogist that forbid me to be on the heparin, angry that this could happen to me AGAIN! A month and a bit later I found out I was pregnant again. I was so happy and I figured that this time I would be able to convince them to give me the heparin. My doctor was reluctant and my numbers were going up so he decided to talk to the perinatologist who told him not to give me the heparin again. I knew how that one was going to end up. I started having some spotting and my doctor decided to get another opinion. The high risk ob he talked to said, "If heparin worked for her last time why not try it again?" So, I was going ot be given the heparin but it was too late. I had already lost my baby at 8 weeks. I was upset again. I was angry wih my doctor this time. He acted differently for a while after that and I could tell that he felt terrible. He promised me that he would put me back on the heparin as soon as I had a positive pregnancy test again. I was still upset though because I had lost three pregnancies that may have been ok if I had the heparin. I also had no idea how long it might take for me to be pregnant again. Five months after my last miscarriage I found out I was pregnant again and got the heparin right away. I was still scared of losing the baby but I felt more comfortable with the heparin. I still didn't tell anyone for a while. At that point I almost didn't even want to say anything here on the boards. I didn't want to bring anyone else down with me if something went wrong.
Fortunatly, I am still preganant this time. It hasn't come without it's problems but I am still pregnant and most likely the baby will be ok. I have learned to be much more assertive with my own medical care. If I want something I will tell the doctor in no unsure terms and he has come to listen to me. I told him that I didn't wnat to seethe perinatologist this time if I could avoid it and certainly not the same one as last time. He siad if I need to go it will be ok and he will still keep me on hte heparin despite what the peri says. He said, "I am not going ot mess with anything since something seems to be working." I appreciated that I am am still very happy with my regular doctor.

Anyway, I know I rambled on and I know a lot of you at least know part of my story already. I just want to say that it is scary to ttc again after miscarriage and it's terrible to have another one but I have had 12 miscarriages and somehow have been able to have 2 sucessful pregnancies (well, still keeping fingers crossed on that one) and you don't forget your losses and the child or children you have do not replace the child or children you lost. They are amazing though and so worth it if you have the strength to get through the fear of ttc again. I am certian that all of you are strong women. Even if it take more time and more loss then you ever imagined most people do go on to have sucessful prengancies. It's hard and honestly I don't think I could tell you how I was able to get through it so many time. I guess I just had to take things one day at a time. I wish there was something I could do to help all of you feel better about things. I hate that it just takes time and patience to heal. I hate that you are all going through this.

megs&david

06-03-2007, 02:11 AM

esarah- thanks for your story. I did know some of it from when I was on pg board. You are such a strong person. I made my doctor test me for clotting and bleeding disorders. They said everything was normal but that I was extremely anemic. That was probably partly due to the m/c.

I guess I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that's scared. I hope that I can get pg again and that I will still be as excited as I was the first time. I'm not that scared to get pg again but I don't think I can take another year of this whole process. I was really starting to get really down about all the BFN's. I'm hoping my body will remember what it was like to be pg and get there faster. I can't take more bad news every month- I know it will be worth it though if I can finally hold a little one in my arms. We haven't really told anyone that we are going to be TTC again this month. We already get comments that we should take time off and "relax." I still didn't take the meds tonight. Maybe tomorrow. DH doesn't really get it- sometimes I think he just misses having to BD every other day and that's why he wants to TTC again. I'm sure that's not entirely it, but I'm sure that's part of it. I guess I'm still trying to deal with a lot of my emotions. I've come a long way since my m/c but it still gets hard sometimes. I'm so glad that I have you all to talk to because I feel like no one else gets how I feel. Thanks for listening- Please keep praying for me that I have the strength to TTC again. I really think that it's time. I don't want to sit around doing nothing and feeling sorry for myself.

06-03-2007, 09:17 AM

Esarah thankyou, it's not sunk in yet so i won't be posting on the pg board just yet but hopefully soon i will and everything will be fine!

Mel- i was extra emotional, and am suffering from insomnia, oh and also better sense of smell but these weren't why i tested early. I tested early because i had extreme ovarian pain... so much so that i was petrified i was pg and it was an ectopic!! I still worry over that but then i'm worrying over everything at the mo!!

As for using an opk as hpt :oops: I looked up on it a while bach on www.peeonastick.com and it was the only thing to hand so i gave it a go!

06-03-2007, 03:15 PM

ok girls well even though I could test today, I have decided that Thursday will give me a better more realistic outcome since we do not know the exact date that I ovulated. So, thursday is testing day for me.

nannars and megs: how is your weekend treating you guys?

Fantastic! So far knock on wood..No strange side effects from the clomid. I did have a tight feeling in my ovaries last night that stopped me in my tracks for just a second, not sure if that was clomid or the fact that af has gone away. And so far no weird weight gain, very concerned about that might I say. Last night I was munchie, not like me. I eat dinner then I'm DONE. But I fixed my munchies with lowfat/no fat stuff, weighed this am and all was well. I have been working so hard to lose this weight, gaining because I'm pg that's a given, but just because of clomid-not excited about.

megs&david

06-03-2007, 07:02 PM

Nannars- I didn't gain any weight on Clomid. I was just grumpy and had hot flashes. Hope all goes well. If you can make the five days without any s/e I don't think you'd have any at all after that. Notice any mood changes at all?

Mel- Are you going to be able to hold out until Thursday?

I started spotting last night. So maybe AF will show on her own anyways. The last three days I have had a couple sharp pains in the ovaries- some were quite painful. But they weren't like AF cramps. I'm going to hold off on the Prometruim until AF comes or spotting stops. I actually want AF to hold off until June 10. If she visits before then I will be on vacation when I O and then unable to do IUI. So if AF comes before then we might wait another month because I don't want to waste a Clomid cycle without the IUI since DH has a few issues with his soldiers.

jlbroyles

06-03-2007, 07:14 PM

glad the clomid seems to be going alright for you so far nanners. Hopefully it will continue and you'll get your bfp this month!

megs- hope af is showing for you on it's own. That would be great news! And I hope the timing works out how you want.

melfab- can't wait to hear your news thursday. good luck holding out to test!

as for me I am on day 14 today and waiting to O. Last time I wrote I was really depressed but for some reason the past couple days have been better. I have been focusing on Dh and our anniversary coming up on the 29th. We went and looked at diamond enhancers today so hopefully I will get that later on this month... :) Anyhow all I have wanted to do the past 2 days is BD! It's crazy...anyhow off to figure out dinner!

Nannars

06-03-2007, 07:55 PM

jl-so glad you are feeling friskee!

megs-no side effects at all, except the lower ovary feelings. dh will be leaving for Atl tomorrow and won't be back until thursday so he will miss psycho clomid lady-if she ever appears.

melfab-you are so strong might i add for holding out. i would have already found me something to p on. i'm so impatient!

jlbroyles

06-03-2007, 08:08 PM

me too...I would be POAS'ing like crazy. I give myself the excuse that the earlier I find out about a pregnancy the better chance I have to save it...

melfab15

06-03-2007, 08:18 PM

well girls, i am sorry to say that I wish it was becuase I am strong that i am holding out to test but actually it is becuase I am so FREAKING scared. I want this more than anything and the symptoms have been so mixed. For the past weeks here are the symptoms that i have had:

insomnia, sleepiness
cramps, nausua
cravings, food adversions
waking up in the middle of the night to pee (which i never do)
. . . . weird huh?

I am tempted to POAS with an OPK but I am afraid the get my hopes up. Kells, thank you for sharing some of your symptoms with me, the last time I was PG the RE kept telling me that I wasnt so I never paid attn to the signs and so now I can not remember what they were.

melfab15

06-03-2007, 08:19 PM

Yeah I got the top!!!!!!!!!

Baby dust to all!!!!!!!!!!

jlbroyles

06-03-2007, 08:22 PM

I know how scared you are, I am like that every month now! Let us know if you decide to POAS on a OPK...ya never know. Symptoms sound good!!

2 weeks from today is my 1st RE appt. Getting sooo scared about that. Still trying to lose a couple more pounds before then.

megs&david

06-03-2007, 11:13 PM

mel- that sounds exactly how I felt when I got my BFP. I almost didn't test at all! I sometimes feel abnormal around here b/c I don't really like POAS. I get super nervous everytime- maybe I should do it more often! LOL!

Okay so I posted this morning that I was spotting. Sorry if what follows is TMI, but I need to share. Last night I was spotting on my pantyliner- it was just brown though. This afternoon there has been nothing on the pantyliner and I have slight brownish discharge only when I wipe. I'm not having any AF symptoms except slightly sore bbs, but nothing like they normally get. What does this mean? I really hope AF comes on her own, but I want her to wait until June 10. Did this spotting thing happen to any of you when you had the first AF after the m/c?

megs&david

06-04-2007, 01:29 PM

I can't deny any long that AF is here! So today is officially CD1. This is the first time AF has come unmedicated this whole year- I think July 2006 was the last time. I know that's a good thing, but I don't know what that means for this cycle. I might be sitting this month out too! I'm so bummed I feel like crying.

melfab15

06-04-2007, 02:15 PM

megs: I am so sorry babe. I know that seeing AF really sucks, and that is never what we want. The only thing that i can say is that at least you do not have to wait, knowing you are not PG, for AF to come. I am sorry that I do not have a magiv wand to wave and make your day better, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today babe. Feel better!! :)

Meg-I am so sorry you are down. I remember my first cycle after mc and it was weird in that (in my case) my mc for the most part was like a cycle-I don't know it just seemed like it brought back all of that sadness. One thing I can tell you for sure is it does get better.

Melfab-Test already-Geez! :P

Jl-How are you and your anniversary preps?

All is well here. Dh is out of town till the end of the week. :cry: I have been cleaning. I don't even think anything is left on tv-it might be a pretty boring week. But OH>>I can get my rest for the next week of the BD MARATHON!!!!! Yeay for dh, he's so excited!!!

Nannars - I was reading your post from the previous page and wanted to add something. There's something that women who have suffered a miscarriage don't get to have the next go around pregnancy. It's that unadultered, naive excitement of being pregnant that only comes when you haven't experienced a loss.

I know for me, this pregnancy has been accompanied by scared, nervous and fear miscarriage. In my opinion, no matter how many times I get pg again, it will never be as "free spirited" as the first time. Now we wait to tell people, I won't buy anything, I don't allow myself into baby shops, etc. It's just a different space to be in the next time around.

So, from that perspective, don't worry... what you're feeling is perfectly normal. Sadly, a miscarriage robs you of really enjoying the joys of pregnancy in the future.

Nannars

My thoughts and feelings to a T. So glad you dropped by. We will all be joinging you soon-this summer is going to be a positive one for the pg loss ladies!

06-04-2007, 10:17 PM

thanks nannars for the postive thoughts!

I am afraid to test too early and a false BFN becuase the first day that I could have test was yesterday all the way until the 11th I guess. That is my window since we are unsure of the ovulation dates. That is pretty big and I just dont want to get down for no reason, that wouldnt be healthy for the baby if I was really PG and it just hadnt shown yet. So it will be thursday girls. . . sorry.

is anybody else testing with me? Somebody POAS with me just so that i am not as afraid please :wink:

Nannars

06-04-2007, 10:41 PM

Girl you know I'll poas anytime! In case you really don't want to do it alone. However I will be 9 dpo then so it would be useless, but I have definitely been guilty of it more than once :lol:

I posted on the fertility page, but thought I would post here. I feel like I'm obsessing about all of this- sorry! I had a good flow yesterday and counted it as CD1. It was all brown and enough where I had to use pads. Today I have nothing on my pad and brown only when I wipe. (sorry if TMI) So is this still considered AF? I really wish I knew what is going on inside my body- why is it so messed up?

Ishall

06-05-2007, 01:59 PM

I'm trying to be really happy today and just focus on my anniversary with my dh, but I decided to poas today hoping to have a wonderful anniversary surprise, but it was a bfn. i was supposed to wait until thursday because that would be 14 days after my last hcg shot (which i never really understood why i had to do anyway), but i figured it's already 17 dpo and my temp dropped a little, so i figured the hcg shot was out of my system and i could get a valid test result. i didn't tell dh i tested because i don't want him to be upset too. our first anniversary is when we got our first bfp with our baby girl 2 years ago, so it's especially hard to be still ttc and getting a bfn today. i shouldn't have tested today. so now we have to figure out what the next steps are because we left our RE's office still confused last month. he told us if IUI #4 didn't work we could try 2 more but with the hcg injections, but since he decided at the last minute when i had this 4th IUI that i would start the injections this time. Then he talked about possible tube blockage and having to check for that, and then possibly laproscopy before we move to IVF. I am not looking fwd to all of those new meds we learned about for a IVF cycle. Up to 4 shots a day! Anyway, I just needed to vent a little. Sorry, it's been all about me. I am just trying to push myself out of this depression I've been in. I wish you all luck.

06-05-2007, 04:23 PM

I'm not even sure why I popped over here. I did have two miscarriages before a successful pregnancy, but I'm not TTC. Something told me to pop in and read. Anyway Ishall did I understand you to say you are doing HCG and IUI but haven't had your tubes tested to make sure they aren't blocked? If that's the case, it seems way backwards to me. My tubes were checked BEFORE we ever did our first IUI. If you have blocked tubes, IUIs are worthless. That's why my RE checked my tubes before starting IUI. Anyway, just thought I needed to throw that in.

As for the rest of you, good luck. I know the pain you are going through all too well. Just know it will happen for you!

Nannars

06-05-2007, 06:25 PM

melfab- wake up wake up!

ishall-i too have to 2nd the fact that they haven't checked your tubes. that be like putting a women on clomid before checking male factor, some things just go hand in hand. it really isn't my business, but if you have any doctor doubts maybe you should look into a different one. it was hard for me to go to a different doc and that was only after 7 months, i do feel for you and what you are going thru. feel free to vent away!

hello leslie thanks for dropping in!

06-05-2007, 09:49 PM

Megs - You need to take a hpt. I had brown spotting (heavy and light) for several weeks on and off before I started getting sick to my stomach and took a test and there was a bold BFP. I had very little symptoms that I could recall and since I was still waiting for my first period since the D&C, I thought the brown spotting had to do w/ a weird first period. Lo and behold, I was pregnant, and it had to do with that. Good luck, girl!

Nannars

06-05-2007, 10:18 PM

ladies-i really believe time is standing still. this is horrible. i really shouldn't be griping. but i guess i had the whole 35 day cycle thing down o'ing on cd19, I had that figured out-I always had that 19 days to be FREEEEE. NOW I am clomid WTH is my O psycho woman! I have to hope God will give me an earlier o so that I can have earlier excitement or disappointment. ===Hopefully excitement. I think being home just me and the dog right now isn't helping. I need stimuli! Well maybe I should go to bed, and then I when I wake up it will be a whole cycle day later!! I have issues :lol:

Again I pray for you ladies to have sanity!..and O'dust!...And baby dust!!

06-05-2007, 10:39 PM

06-05-2007, 11:26 PM

hey ladies...long time no talk. I'm doing alright...just waiting to O still. Am on CD16 and had lots of dull aches in my ovaries and a little bit of cm so I'm guessing O is on the way!! Yay!! BD'ing lots in the next couple of days.

nanners- I feel your pain. I feel like the past 2 months have been a standstill, it has gone by so slow!!! Preoccuping myself with our anniversary has helped. DH said that tomorrow his project at work is to plan a surprise...ooohhh I hope it's good!!!

melfab- you are so not a bore!! Maybe tired b/c of the baby growing inside.. :) I am so hoping this is it for you!!

megs- I'm sorry this cycle is being confusing already for you. hang in there...

ishall- I'm sorry things haven't been easier on you. Happy Anniversary!! Enjoy your DH you two will get through this!! I'm really pulling for you...

Hello to everyone else and lots of baby dust!!!

megs&david

06-05-2007, 11:51 PM

Nannars- how's the Clomid treating you? Any bad s/e? I hope not. I always O on CD19 as well (but only when I'm on Clomid). But this month I'm hoping for CD20 or later so we can do our IUI! I feel like time has stopped and I'm only CD2. I feel like a crazed woman totally obsessed over my cycle! I can't stop though!

mel- hope you're extra tired b/c of a little one! 2 more days to testing- well really less than that! I'm so excited to hear your hopefully good news! Any new symptoms to obsess over?

JennyLeigh- I sent you a PM.

Ishall- I'm so sorry that you are going through a rough time right now! I hope you get your BFP soon- hopefully before you have to have IVF! You can vent anytime!

jl- I hope you O soon! Then onto the 2WW! I'm glad you have something to look forward to. How many years have you been married? Hope DH thinks of a great surprise for you!

I start Clomid tomorrow morning! Yucky! I hate how I feel when I'm on it. AF is being so weird. I'm not freaking out as much. I got so stressed at work today and was also stressed about AF pretty much disappearing. But she showed up again stronger late this afternoon. I will just be glad when she is gone and I'm done with the Clomid. Nannars I know what you mean about how the first AF reminds you of the m/c. I hate it and I want her to leave. I've hard a really trying day at work- one of those days where nothing seems easy and nothing goes right. Plus AF came and with her a little PMS. So now I feel emotionally drained and super sad about the m/c. It's weird how that deep ache justs hits worse than other times. Well off to bed for me. Hoping for a happy easy day for all of us tomorrow.

thanks for the encouragement ladies. as far as checking my tubes first, i wondered why he didnt do that, but he said since i already had a pregnancy he didn't think my tubes were a concern. he thought because of pco i just wasn't ovulating, so he started me on clomid. and the clomid took away whatever ewcm i had so that's why i needed the IUI. anyway, i guess he'll check them now and see. it seems backwards to me too.

melfab15

06-06-2007, 01:31 PM

ok girls, well I didnt POAS but I gave in and went to get bloodwork for HCG. I will know the results this early evening. I am holding my breath but I do believe that the Lord is mighty to make miracles happen. I have had one before so I pray that I will be blessed with another miracle again soon.

Ishall

06-06-2007, 03:54 PM

well, i'm spotting, so i guess i'm out this cycle. i have to schedule a hsg now to see if my tubes are blocked. has anyone does this before and could share some insight? i'd appreciate it. i think i'm going to have a nervous break down. i can barely see the keys i'm crying so hard. this is just so unfair. anyway, i'm going to post this in the other boards too in case someone misses it here. well, i wish you all good luck ladies.

Ishall & Mel- I'm so sorry. I feel like crying myself right now reading your posts. Mel, I really thought this was it for you! You can vent and cry all you want. We all know how unfair things can be. I will be praying for you both!

megs&david

06-06-2007, 06:31 PM

I don't know if I'm just overly emotional or what (maybe from the Clomid). I just found out that my friend who's pg is due the same day that my baby was due! I don't know why it's hitting me so hard. I knew that she was pg (she is the one that told me about 1 week after I m/c and gave me a lecture on staying positive!). I am working the late shift this week so I have to stay until all the patients go. I'm here pretty much by myself and crying! I feel almost angry with my friend. It's not that I want her to have m/c too, but I keep thinking why my baby? This whole thing really is so unfair. I just want you all to know that I am praying for you all (and myself of course) that we will all get another miracle. I just need to get through the hurdles one day at a time. Thanks for letting me vent... again! :)

ishall and mel- i am so sorry for your bfn's. it seems like with each one i will think okay god just has to bless me this month, you ladies just have been through so much and deserve this happiness. hopefully we will be delivering lots of babies next spring!!

megs-clomid is okay, i weighed this morning-gained 5 lbs. it has to be water weight because i haven't been eating much, what i have been eating has been healthy. hopefully i'm just puffy right now and it will go away. good luck starting yours! also thanks for the o info, i have been wondering when i will since i have clomids assistance. have you bought your cough syrup yet?

How is all? Okay here. Got my hair done today, colored/highlighted and cut! It is my 12 week treat! I like to do stuff to my hair, it's fun. Dh comes home tonight, bd marathon starts tomorrow. We might get some practice in :D :shock: :P I am going to pick up some cough syrup before I have to pick him up from the airporti. I am trying to stay positive, but not too positve. Either way I go I will have an emotional breakdown if bfn, i always think maybe there is a way of preparing yourself to go forward and not get upset about the past(bfn). I don't think I'm capable. All or nothing! Bye ladies!!

Ishall

06-07-2007, 08:39 PM

i wish we lived closer too. i have no friends closer than 5 hours to me and i work part time with a couple of women all over 60. even when i was teaching, becuase my husband runs the facility the school is on (but not the school), i couldnt really be firends with anyone because they still saw me as "the boss's wife" even though he's not their boss. i had my support group last night, for families that have lost a baby. i think i told you guys before that everyone who lost their baby since we've lost our's has either already had another baby, or is pregnant now. last night one couple brought in their newborn daughter. we like to support one another for successful pregnancies and healthy babies, but it's still hard to be there. anyway, i am going to schedule my hsg for next week. i'm ready to just throw in the towel though. it's only been 2 years but it seems like forever, especially becuse we lost our baby.

jlbroyles

06-07-2007, 09:49 PM

hey girls. I have had a much better day. I'm pretty sure that today was O day which is obviously good news. DH and I bd'd last night and tonight so hopefully we caught the eggie. I am going to start testing on father's day which is 10dpo and also the same day as my RE appt. So we'll see...

I don't like coffee but would love some hot chocolate! (all that talk about us meeting up!) I so wish we all lived closer, I trust and care more about you girls than some of my in person friends here. Look at me getting all sappy...

melfab- hope your hangin in there. any sign of af yet?

ishall- hope you tubes are clear and you can get moving soon

nanners- how's the clomid treating you? have fun with the sexcapades!
I'm worn out from ours!

06-07-2007, 11:39 PM

nannars- I did get my cough medicine. It was hard to find it without a ton of other medicine in it. I hope it works- can't hurt though. I also ordered my preseed. Never tried it before- again it can't hurt.

Hey girls. I feel so emotional. I am so sad and weepy these last two days and the hot flashes started today. I hate Clomid. I really am praying that this works because I can't do this again. I know it's probably the Clomid but I feel as sad as the day we found out about the m/c. We have been planning a camping trip for this weekend for months. My friend who I just found out has the same due date as I do will be there. Can I do a whole weekend with her? She was such a close friend. We were both struggling to TTC and now I can't even force myself to be happy for her. It's almost like I blame her for everything even though I know it has nothing to do with her. It hurts so much. I can't even talk to her anymore. We have hardly spoken since the m/c and she told me she was prego. What is wrong with me. I feel like such a horrible person. Ok, I'm gonna go. I have some more packing to do. Thanks for letting me sob to you all. Please pray for me- this TTC after m/c is harder than I thought!

jlbroyles

06-08-2007, 07:33 AM

megs- I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. I just wanted to say that I know exactly how you feel. I first time I was pg back in november the day after my m/c I made the mistake of going right back to work and wouldn't you know it a coworker announced her pregnancy...oops I got pg on birth control. Anyhow, I was distraught b/c she is due around the same time that I would have been. Before she announced it I could stand her and actually talk to her but after I couldn't stand to even look at her. Luckily for me she quit 2 weeks later thank god b /c I just couldn't take it anymore. Well ever since she quit she comes back to visit every 2 weeks and now she is 34 weeks pg. I get an awful feeling in my stomach and just leave work when she comes in b/c I can't even stand to look at her and it brings back that awful m/c. I know it's not completely the same but I just want you to know that I know what you are going through and to hang in there. It will get better and you will be pg again!

(((HUGS)))

no sign of Af yet but I hope that she comes soon so that I can get started with IVF.

I took yesterday off work and hung out with family that was in town. We did a lot of fun things and it made me feel a lot better about the BFN. For once, it was nice to know that I was not responisble for the crying kids that i was with. I dont know, but for once i wasnt wishing they were all mine. it was a great fun day and now I feel rested and ready to move on with IVF!

megs: i hope that you are feeling better.

megs&david

06-08-2007, 02:43 PM

I'm feeling a lot better today. I did cry once this morning at work, but it ended as fast as it came on. I think night time is just really rough for me. We will be camping this weekend and I am hoping that I will be able to destress a little and have fun.

mel- Has AF always come for you? Are you sure you didn't test too early? I'm sorry that you are having to wait around for her so you can move on toward IVF.

jl- Thanks for the support. I know a lot of us have gone through something similar. I still want to be her friend, but it's a hard time right now. She is a really good friend and I hope that I can eventually get over my feelings. Also I'm glad you finally O'd! Hope you have a fabulous surprise on Father's Day.

ishall- i'm sorry you are having a rough time right now. I hate moving to other steps in TTC. I always freak out because I don't know exactly what to expect. Good luck with you HSG. Hope everything is clear and open.

Nannars- I wish I was more adventerous with my hair. I had my hair professionally highlighted once and now I'm afraid to do it again. My hair is super dark brown and the highlights were supposed to be a lighter brown but they turned red instead. It still looked okay, but it wasn't what I wanted! Did you get your cough syrup? I got mine. When are you going to start taking it? I thought I might start on CD14 since I won't O until CD19. Does that sound right? Hope you are having fun BDing with DH!

megs: well i had a blood test on Wed and I thought that blood tests were like 100% accurate and could tell as early as 7DPO. Whether I get Af on my own or not is always anybody's guess. 50/50! The weird thing is that the test is negative and so I know that logically it is right but my boobs still hurt and i am still nausaus. This is weird . . . .

Mel- NO NO NO NO NO NO it can take implantation like up to a week, at 7 dpo you can do the p4, but the hcg!! Lil guy being slow getting settled in means no hcg yet. Please retest, for me. I can't believe they are putting you through this!!! There is a JOLUKE on the boards and at I think a ways after dpo they tested and negative, she ended up finding out at like 10-12 weeks yep she was pregnant. Girl, I take back all of my sorry's for your bfn. It very well possible could be a bfp. Please Please Please retest.

Here is Jolukes response to a post i did back last year, subj was bw being - when actually it should be ++

Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 3:01 pm Post subject:

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

Not only have I heard of it, I had it happen to me. Though I am not sure how far along I really was (dpo), I had an early bt with dd that came back neg and I would have been at least 2 wks pg. I think they figure I would have gotten pg on April 19th and I had the test on may 5th that came back neg. Then I waited for another "cycle" to pass (they counted one little bit of spotting as a period) anyway I didn't end up finding out I was pg until I was 12 wks and didn't know how far until I was 14w3d. It can happen, so just trust your body.

God bless, Johanna
_________________

Found this melfab..

Q: When does implantation occur?
A: Implantation occurs 7-10 days after Ovulation. Theory/research has that the absolute best day for implantation is 8dpo. It can happen at 11 and 12 dpo as well, but along with the wait comes an increasing chance of miscarriage. You may have a little spotting along with implantation, faint twinges of pain, or scant spotting when you would have expected AF. Also, if you chart, you'll want to note that the implantation dip is a myth. Dips on your chart are generally caused by an increase in estrogen (as around O) or perhaps other factors, but are not proven to be tied to implantation.

Q: How early can I take a pregnancy test?
A: Since implantation usually occurs around day 8, a few days after that hcg may be detectable. If you are regular, the best thing to do is wait until the day after 'AF' (Aunt Flo, your period) is due. If your period is irregular, give it two weeks and a day after you had expected AF.

and I found this

the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (better known as hCG) is produced during pregnancy. It is made by cells that form the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine wall. hCG can first be detected by a normal blood test about 11 days after conception and about 12 - 14 days by a urine test. In general the hCG level will double every 72 hours. The levels will reach their peak in the 8 - 11 weeks of pregnancy (the third month) and then will decline and level off for the remainder of the pregnancy.

I have dark hair too and I agree they can really mess it up. Red does sound cute, I teeter on the red quite often-mostly in winter. Right now it's caramel highlights. the blonde always ends up looking brassy. I got my cough syrup, I actually started it on cd10, but I haven't been doing it consistently.

Nannars

06-09-2007, 07:08 PM

I've read that about hsg's too, that it helps clear things out. I just wish we would've done this oh, 8 months ago when i first met with this RE. anyway, it just feels like i'm fighting a losing battle. i wonder if it's meant for me to have a baby. i mean, i already got pregnant with no trouble at all, and then God took her from me. and now, i can't even get pregnant. how do I know if motherhood is just not the plan God has for me? I mean, i hope that's not the case, but how do i know? If God doesn't want me to get pregnant then i won't, so when do I throw in the towel?

Ishall, I hate that you having such a hard time. I have wondered the same as you as to whether it is or isn't part of the master plan. If it's not then I'll take it (kicking and screaming), but I will also exalt all options before like you say throw in the towel. BUT if they haven't tested male factor or checked your tubes then there are still possibilities. I think if you feel like you have love to share then it was meant to be. Hope you get to feeling better! ((((HUGS)))))

so I called the RE to tell them that I am on day 1 and they said that I have to go in tomorrow at 10:15 CA time and start my first IVF duties:
bloodwork and an US. Tomorrow is also the day that I found out which group that I am.
(reminder: I am participating in an IVF trial where 1/2 the group get BC pills for 2 weeks before the injections and the other 1/2 of the group doesn't)
I kind of want to be in the BC pill group becuase they get to start the treatments as soon as they finish thier pills. The other group has to wait to start treatments until thier next period and that would really stink. I want to get the whole treatment done before school starts again so I can relax and not stress.

Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend!!!!!!!

Thanks Nanners for being so supportive. I know you've been through a lot as well, so it's good to see you have so much stregnth, time, energy, and listening ear to lend to others. I really do wish you the best of luck with everything.
Mel, I hope you get to be in the bcp group too. I'd hate for you to "skip" a cycle. Good luck, and I hope this is it for you too.

Hi everyone. I got back earlier from camping. It's so good to be in my nice clean air-conditioned house. Hope you all had a great weekend. This weekend was really hard with my friend. I tried not to be in a conversation alone with her. A couple of times the talk was all about her pg and baby and I would go over and hang with DH for a while until they all started talking about something else. I still feel like a bad friend to her, but I need to heal a little more emotionally until I can really be a good friend to her. I'm finally on my last day of Clomid. I really hate this stuff!

Mel, I'm glad AF finally showed and that you can get going with IVF so soon!

Ishall- I'm sorry you are having such a bad time right now. I often question God's will for me as well. I get so worried that it will never happen for me again. But I have to trust that God's plan is perfect and that He loves me and wants what's best for me. I just keep doing my part and when I run out of options medically or financially then I will throw the towel in and think about adopting. I will pray that you find some hope. Good luck with the HSG.

ok well I was put into the non BCP group but I am ok with that. So now we are ttc on our again and I will go back on my next CD 1. I also found out that i will be O'ing while we are on our cruise. YEAH!! We might come back with a suprise

Melfab-I am excited for you to begin a new journey. Now what are the anticipated dates with this trial

Megs-I am so sorry you are having issues with your friend. The friday I got the call about my hcg levels dropping I was supposed to leave out of town to host a BABY SHOWER for my best friend. Of course I couldn't go out of town and drive 3 hours, well at least the re office advised against. Maybe you could be truthful with her about your feelings and she would probably understand ?? Or you might not be comfortable to discuss those things with her yet, which I could understand. It sux that you hate your clomid, the 25 mg which is quite conservative didn't really have any effects on me-watch me have a litter :-) I only say that cause I've been watching way too much discovery health and it seems all these women who were on a "low dose" of clomid and had big time multiples, so I've been worried.

Ishall-Hope things are going better for you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

JL-Come up for air! Where are you? Do you realize it's been like 4 days since your o-I think ya'll have covered all bases. tee hee, please come back so we can help you over analyze all of your twinges. Please - it's what I do best! (((hugs lady)))

Well I am really hoping we get some more grads before the end of summer. Yes, selfishly I want to be amongst them. I should..SHOULD be oing any day w/in this next week. Not sure what clomid is going to do to my o date. I'll keep bding till it comes. I am so impatient with this. I am not even really enjoying the bd'ing because I am thinking about tilting my hips and if I am oing and whether it's gonna work and if this clomid doesn't work how long will i be on it and wonder if the clomid will mnake me gain my weight back-THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I have said this before but i mean it when i say i really hope ya'll have more sanity than i have. Ta Ta ladies off to jump dh!!

jlbroyles

06-12-2007, 07:09 AM

well I think I got my O date wrong. Last week on thursday when I thought I was O'ing my temps never went up. I started to get really frustrated and mad about it and figured I probably wouldn't O. The thought of bd'ing was making me want to vomit. So we didn't BD for 3 days but then had a weird feeling that I might be O'ing on Sunday. I had some weird cramps I hadn't really experienced before and what do ya know I had lots of ewcm so we bd'd sunday night and yesterday my temp went up and today it is still up so I'm guessing that was the big O. I would have kicked myself if we would have missed it. I guess I will be 7dpo when I go in for my RE appt. on sunday. Is that too early to do a bpt?

nanners- hope you had fun jumpin DH! Come up for air! haha. Hope you O real soon so we can graduate together!

melfab- hope you make your miracle baby on your anniversary cruise.

megs- hang in there girlie, it WILL get better. (((HUGS)))

Hey everyone. I am feeling so much better now that I'm done with Clomid. I think that was the worst round of it ever! I feel so much happier. Plus AF is FINALLY leaving- it's about time too. This was the longest period that I have ever had. I'm ready to start BDing. I think we will even though I probably won't O until around CD19. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help things along. Today I have felt some twinges near my ovaries. Hope that means those follies are growing!

jl- I would think 7DPO is too early to test even with a blood test. You could still get a false negative. I would try and hold out as long as you can.

nannars- thanks for being sympathetic. I probably should talk to her. Even though we were camping together, I tried not to talk to her very much. I'm glad Clomid went okay for you. Any sign of O yet?

mel- how's everything going for you?

kpollo04

06-12-2007, 01:08 PM

Hello everyone! Although I have been reading the posts on this site for quite sometime I have never ask anyones advise. I got PG in March with the help of Clomid and had a miscarriage at 6 week 5 days, our baby had stopped growing at 4wks 3days. My cycle started all on its own 5 weeks after the miscarriage. My questions is, has anyone had their cycle regulate after a miscarriage?? Typically I have 3-4 cycles a year so when I started on my own this time I was shocked. After talking with my dr I am supposed to wait and if my cycle then start clomid this month, the only thing is that they will only let me take clomid for 2 more cycles (already done 3 cycles when I had the miscarriage), what is the next step if clomid doesn't work???

Please help! I have no idea what to expect!

megs&david

06-12-2007, 04:26 PM

kpollo- I am exactly where you are. I got pg in March, m/c in April at 7 weeks. I haven't gotten a natural period in a year and 6 weeks after m/c AF comes all on her own. I haven't met with the RE so I'm not sure if I should expect AF to be regular. I just got done taking Clomid so if I O then AF will come anyway. My RE is only letting me do three more Clomid cycles including this month. I have also done three previous months on Clomid. The next step for me is injectibles with IUI. This is really uncharted territory for me so I have no idea what to expect either.

kpollo04

06-12-2007, 04:43 PM

At least I am not alone, I am supposed to call my RE if I don't start another cycle so that we can start clomid again but to be honest it makes me nervous I pray that I don't have to do through it all again. Good luck to you this month, keep me informed on the progress.

Nannars

06-12-2007, 06:12 PM

Hello lovely ladies!!!

Kpollo-welcome aboard. I can say since pregnancy/mc I have been cyst free, so that is a plus-i guess. If clomid doesn't work for me then re wants to do an iui.

Jl-So glad you and dh covered all bases. I think it would be too early to test bpt, but definitely you could get your p4 to know whether baby will need progesterone supplements. Gluck!

Megs-AF for 9 days!! You poor thing!

All is well here. I have a horrible headache so left work a lil early. Still no increased cm or temp rises, so we will continue to bd..and bd..and bd. Bye ladies!!

jlbroyles

06-12-2007, 08:38 PM

is it just me or does time seem to be standing still??? I feel like I will never get past 2dpo...haha I've been here twice. Been feeling alright today, exercised twice but I have had feelings of wanting to vomit the past couple of days...yuck. Hope you all are well!

Nannars

06-12-2007, 08:41 PM

yes jl i have to agree. may i add that my first bfp i was in the 2ww twice-so maybe this will be the hot ticket for ya'! i know each month i swear i won't do this, but omg!!! i just do not have the patience. i guess if i would hurry up and o, at least then i could have something else to obsess over. yes time is definitely standing still....very still.

megs&david

06-13-2007, 12:29 PM

nannars & jl- I know what you mean about time standing still! It seems like I started this cylce a month ago and I'm only CD10. AF is finally gone. I have been feeling twinges in my ovaries and had the beginnings of EWCM but I think it's a fluke because I shouldn't O until CD19. Maybe it's all in my head! We did BD last night just to be sure. I need to go get my OPK's and I think I'm going to start them early. The nurse said to start them on CD14, but I think I'm going to start tomorrow. I need something to do to feel pro-active and I have not POAS in a long time! I just wish I would hurry up an O already!

melfab15

06-13-2007, 06:23 PM

megs, so glad to hear that you are feeling better. What a rough spell it has been for you on clomid.

nannars: I am sending you some patience dust.

kpollo04: baby dust your way babe! Here's to no more clomid.

Nannars

06-13-2007, 07:58 PM

Hey ladies, I'm still waiting..and waiting! But i am getting a bit more positive in that I "normally" o at least by cd19, well I am currently cd15 which means that even if the clomid doesn't make me o earlier (what I was hoping), then I should o by sunday. NOW if clomid makes me o later!!!!! I will be so pi$$y! Enough already, but please do not make me use my pitiful cards so early in the cycle. I try not to be poor pitiful me until AFTER my bfn, but we are hoping this one is a bfp so maybe I could play the pity card early-nahh. I will try to stay postive and patient. Hope you ladies are doing well!

kells22

06-14-2007, 10:44 AM

Nannars-I really hope O hurries up for you!

kpollo04- Baby dust to you!

Meg- sorry clomid gave you a rough time!

Mel + jl- good luck to both of you... Baby dust x

melfab15

06-14-2007, 03:22 PM

nannars: how are you doing today? No pity cards for you missy!!!! Baby dust to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nannars

06-14-2007, 07:18 PM

Thank you so much melfab-BECAUSE I believe you can keep your pity cards at least for awhile. I am not wanting to get too excited but I did have a temp spike today...And we bd'd 0-5, 0-3, 0-1 and twice :-) today!, so maybe this is it, if not then we have lots of bd'ing to cover the bases!

Melfab-How are you? Are they giving you anything different for the ivf? Shots? Pills?

Jl-How are you doing? Would you like to share some details with the group so we can assist in the overanalyzation of every twinge? TEE HEE

Megs-Are you and dh bd'ing accordingly? Best snap to it!

Ishall-You around? Are you better? I hope so, i still got ya in my thoughts!

Kpollo-What's the newest with you?

Well I hope I didn't miss anyone. Hope all is well. Yall throw some o dust at me!!!!

Nannars

06-15-2007, 06:40 AM

Ladies I do believe it's official and a big feat for me...I o'd on cd15!!!! I am so excited, I have never o'd that early!!! I have never been so happy to be in the 2ww! I can handle a 28 day cycle, the 35's GROAN! Hope everyone has a happy friday@!@!!

megs&david

06-15-2007, 02:00 PM

Nannars- I'm so excited for you! Hope you survive this 2ww! I'm really praying this is it for you. I'm so excited I could jump up and down right now! I'm so glad you O'd early!

DH and I already started BDing every other day. Once I get a positive OPK the nurse said to BD every day. I can't wait! I asked this question on the fertiliy board too, but when you BD do you put your hips/legs up for a while? I have not done this in the past because we had IUI, but this month I might try it. Does it really help the swimmers? How long do you stay in bed?

Nannars

06-15-2007, 02:14 PM

*blushing* Awe shux Megs :-)

I have done the hip tilting, just normally will put a pillow under my buttfor a lil bit, but I do always just go to sleep afterwards, then I end up having to wake up to go to the restroom a few hours later. All in the name of love :oops: Did you ever do the cough syrup? I'm so bad, I bought the stuff and touched it twice and that was it. Gluck lady!!!

megs&david

06-15-2007, 04:27 PM

I did do cough syrup. I've only been taking it for 2 days though. Hope it helps! I got really excited this afternoon. I had the most EWCM I have ever had, EVER! I hope that is a really good sign. Maybe my OPK will be positve tomorrow. I have never O'd before CD18. Don't know what to think.

Nannars

06-15-2007, 06:37 PM

Ooh Megs that's a great sign!! TMI The day before O I had the weird stretchy ewcm, and we also bd'd! Megs are you temping?

jlbroyles

06-15-2007, 09:40 PM

sorry I haven't posted much this week. I have been really busy and exercising my arse off. I have lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks! Anyhow I *think* I am 5dpo and of course having symptoms. BB's have started tingling and hurting, today I have had cramps, and lots of ovary twinges. What is up with that. I'm not feeling optimistic about this cycle considering AF is not due for another week and a half and I'm already getting cramps. Oh well, getting nervous about my appt. on sunday.

nanners- sending you patient dust, I figured out my EDD if I'm pg and it would be 3/3/08...only 2 days before you. I hope we both get to keep these edd!!

megs- good luck with the robitussin and I hope you O soon!

Have a great weekend!

Nannars

06-15-2007, 10:23 PM

Jl=hope your cramps are implantation related. and many congrats on the 8lbs, you are so devoted! very exciting that are hedd's would be so close-fingers crossed fingers crossed. my bb's are killing me as well. i swear the clomid made them hurt, or they were hurting because of af, then they hurt cause i'm oing, then they could be hurting because af is coming back or maybe i'm pg-GROAN.

odust to megs!!!

hello ladies!!!

megs&david

06-16-2007, 12:10 AM

Okay I'm off for vacation for a week. Good luck jl and Nannars with the 2ww. I hope all your symptoms are a good sign.

Mel- hope things are going well for you. I know you've been busy with the end of school.

I'm hoping to O soon and I'm hoping that we conceive on vacation. That would be really cool. I will miss being away from the boards for a week? Who will obsess with me about every little symptom? Hope you all have a great week!

melfab15

06-16-2007, 01:20 PM

megs: have a great vacation and do lots of baby dancing.

I usually put my hips up on pillows for 30-40 minutes and then I pee after that so that I do not get a UTI. thos really suck. My re told me the pillow thing so I do it.

Nannars: congrats on O'ing so early babe! That is awesome!!!

Becuase I am waiting for my IVF to start, I am not allowed to take any medications except me prenatal vits and my metformin ER. Until my next cycle starts we are just going to use OPK and some good ol fashion baby dancing. Also I am hoping that since I will be O'ing on my cruise, that it will help us. Maybe we can come back with a anniversary suprise!!

bbmk2

06-16-2007, 02:10 PM

Hi everyone! I'm so glad my account is working again. :D

It's been several months, but I'm trying to jump back in and get caught up!

kpollo--After I lost the twins, it took 2 months for AF to reappear and I've been o'ing regularly ever since. What a miracle.

megs--Hope you are having a great time on vacation!

melfab--Wishing you luck with O'ing and lots of FUN on your cruise! Where are you going?

nanners--Sending lots of baby dust your way!

jbroyles--Awesome results with the exercise! I'm sure you've lost more than 8 pounds by now. I finally got my sorry, depressed self back to the gym two weeks ago. AGH! I'm up to 3 miles on the treadmill, but the scale doesn't seem to be moving much. Are you dieting as well?

OK, that's as far back as I went. Update on me--we've been doing some 'practice rounds' with Femara. The first month we totally overstimulated my ovaries, so last month we cut the dosage in half. Unfortunately, I somehow miscalculated my dates and missed testing for O. My brain is seriously not the same after losing the babies. Anyone else experience that same frustration? Anyway, next month we'll try again to see if the dosage is right.

Wow, we may have some March babies among us...good luck to all you girls in the 2ww.

Betsy

Nannars

06-16-2007, 06:30 PM

Megs-Happy Vacation! I will be thinking of you!

Melfab-So many ladies get pg on vacation, something about relaxing and having no worries! You and dh just bd ya'lls lil hearts out, if it happens fantastic, if not then there's always the trial!

Jl-We are one day closer in the horrible 2ww! Oing early truly was a god send because if I had to be patient for an extra week, I would be pulling my eyebrows out as we speak!

BBMK-So glad that you are "back in the saddle". My brain girl it took like 6 months for me, so frustrating yes! I had to get the midset that if it happens great, if not well there isn't anything I can do about that. It took awhile.

Here's praying for lots of March babies!!!

jlbroyles

06-16-2007, 06:39 PM

bbmk- good luck with the femara!!

nanners- how are you holding up? any symptoms to over analyze yet?

melfab- have a great cruise and have fun trying for your miracle. :)

Today has been weird. I feel bloated, bb's hurt, ewcm, more ovary twinges, cramping...WTH!! Tomorrow is our big appt. with the RE. We'll see what happens...

megs&david

06-17-2007, 12:59 AM

Hey everyone. I'm on vacation and I think this will be the only day that we have internet access. Guess what??? I had a positive OPK this morning and a slight drop in temps. I can't even believe it. I have never O'd before CD19 before. I have had horrible orvary pains- I hope I don't get OHSS. We are on vacation with our friends. Tonight is the only night that we are sharing a room and of course we are fertile today! We had to ask them to take a 25 minute walk so we could DTD. I was a little embarassed, but it will be worth it if I get my BFP this month! I had to keep my hips propped up even after they got back. Oh well. I have had a ton of EWCM. I'm glad the Clomid didn't dry me out. Well, I gotta go. Everyone is in bed and we have an early start tomorrow. I am just feeling so happy that I O'd so early and I'm a ton more relaxed since we are on vacation. I can't remember when I have been this happy. Sorry I don't have time for personals. I can't wait to get back and catch up with you all.

bbmk2

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had my 1st RE appt. yesterday and it went really well. He put me on Met ER 1500 and clomid next cycle if I am not already pg. He didn't even mention anything about my weight so I was happy about that. I had something weird happen in the middle of the night last night. I had this really intense pain in my stomach, it was like behind my belly button, in my right ovary and my bb's started really hurting. It lasted about an hour. I don't know maybe it was from my first dose of met, right now I am extremely nauseaus.

how's everyone else doing?

melfab15

06-18-2007, 05:12 PM

wow megs . . . what a "great vacation" that you must be having! Hey you gotta do what you gotta do girl!!! LOL!!!

JL: I am glad that your meeting with the Dr went so well. Do not worry about feeling sick, it should pass; at least it did for me.

I am just finishing closing up at school and looking forward to Friday. I am also getting ready for our cruise becuase we leave Saturday night.

Nannars

06-18-2007, 07:40 PM

Jl-I had crazy feelings in my abdomen when I first started met. Other than the inevitable gastrointestinal issues-watch out. I remember my stomach just being sore to the touch. dh likes to put his knees on my belly (cuddling at night) and I couldnt' do it. Howevr once I had been on it for awhile most of those things went away.

Melfab-Where are ya'll going on your cruise? My sister and her husband do them all the time, I myself never been on one. Ah someday..

9 more days till testing, but ya'll know me I'll prolly start testing at 8dpo:-)
I go in for p4 tomorrow, hope that goes well. BB's hurt is really all I can obsess over. I am not feeling very positive about this one. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Ishall

baby dust everyone!

Nannars

06-18-2007, 09:18 PM

Ishall-so glad you are still checking in!

i am so done with the 2ww! really why? why? can I not be some crazy fluke person that gets a bfp at 6dpo? no ladies i actually have not tried to poas, but its coming! i just wanna know already!!! i should really stay off of the boards during the 2ww then I'd be forced to entertain myself in some other manner. oh my goodness and i still have 9 more days...

jl-where are you sitting with your 2ww? come go crazy with me :-)

jlbroyles

06-18-2007, 09:57 PM

I am so done with the 2ww also nanners!! I am just trying to survive right now. I'm trying not to confuse pg symptoms with met side effects since this is the 1st day on the full dose. I have been nauseaus all day with a headache, have not felt like eating. But I have also had some cramps and sore bb's, and cm. Who the heck knows...I will start testing soon but not expecting a bfp...

Nannars

06-18-2007, 10:03 PM

yeay jl-thanks for joining me! the beginning of met sux, no lie, but it does work and will cause you to lose weight especially in the beginning. i had lost like 15 lbs within no time, it eventually tapered off and I gained it back (after mc emotional eating) so it's not the miracle pill, but it is helpful where weight control and ovulation are concerned. when are you going to poas?

jlbroyles

06-18-2007, 10:18 PM

I'll probably start poas 10dpo which I think is Wed. When are you starting? if I dare ask... :)

Nannars

06-18-2007, 10:23 PM

let's see if i hold out till 10dpo then that would be saturday morning! that's so far away!!! why can't the friggin re's office just do my lil hcg bw on friday??!!! i could have a whole weekend to be excited!! i called re's office today to see if they would do my p4 and hcg tomorrow, i think the lady was chuckling to herself. why not do the bw, i'm paying for it! awe her comes crazy ttc woman. when is 10dpo for you?

jlbroyles

06-18-2007, 10:55 PM

wednesday...if I can wait that long...

06-19-2007, 05:49 PM

well i got my p4 back...9.05-how crappy. so i am starting supplements today-how crappy..just down in the dumps

will do personals later
hope ya'll are having a blessed day.

melfab15

06-19-2007, 07:58 PM

ok well i am starting my OPK today and will keep doing them everyday until they turn positive. Today was negative but i am only on day 11. hope that everybody is having a great day.

Ishall

06-19-2007, 08:50 PM

mel, i am so jealous of your cruise. dh and i missed our anniversary cruise this year because it's so hard for us to plan...
sorry nanners, i know how you feel. i am so bummed too.
my HSG for tomorrow got cancelled. i called my RE yesterday becuase i happened to read the warnings for my antidepressants and it turns out there can be a drug interaction with the xray dye. so they called me this afternoon to cancell. they were like, oops, there could be renal failure or something like that. so if i hadn't called, they wouldnt thought anything of it. WTF! and so i asked the nurse if i'm still supposed to to come in for u/s and b/w monitioring to see if i have any follies this cycle and if i'm going O, and they don't know. they'll call me back. WTF! why do i seem to know more than my medical team of specialist? and i had therapy today and my therapist says i am holding on to my anger and i don't really want to be happy, becuase then i would be somehow forgetting or letting go of my baby i lost. WTF. i understand what she's saying, but that's not me. i tell my dh all the time, i wish i could be where he is, still grieving obviously, but able to get on with my life. she says i'm consumed with ttc again (which may be so), but i honestly don't know how not to be. she says i need to figure out what i want for me, and who i am, outside of ttc. i have no idea.
anyway, sorry to rant, but i guess i dont have anyone else to talk to. 45 minutes every 3 weeks is about all i get with my therapist.

Nannars

06-19-2007, 08:54 PM

Nannars

06-20-2007, 08:29 AM

Ishall-Have you thought about seeing another doctor to get maybe a different perspective? Just an idea. It is stressful to change doctors so far in, I did but I'm glad i went thru the stress in the long run it was for the better.

Jl-Are you testing today? How exciting!! Do you need a cheer? Give me a P..O...A..S..Give me a b..f..p..What's that spell-Big Fat Healthy March Baby!! Glucklady!!

Melfab-Getting ready for you cruise? So jealous.

Megs-even though you aren't checking right now know I'm thinkin about ya'

kpollo-you still around, is all well?

bbmk-How are things?

Well 7 more days till 14 dpo, but realistically I'll prolly start testing this weekend. I don't have any symptoms, NONE. I had sore bb's but that has went away. Not expecting this to be successfull.

Baby dust and O dust to all of us lovely ladies!!!

we have thought about changing RE (though he's supposed to be like the best of the best), but we live in the middle of no where and as is we have to drive like an hour and a half for 7am appts. right now, we go to johns hopkins which is a great hospital, especially in this dept. our other option is shady grove in DC, which is only a RE and fertility center. i might look in to it though. i'm just really upset with all the up and downs. i feel like i'm on an emotional roller coaster all the time. i even missed my little brother's graduation today because i was scheduled for the hsg and since it was just cancelled yesterday, i didnt really have enough time to get a reasonable plane ticket to NYC. my mom had me on speaker so i could hear when they said his name though, which was nice. anyway, complete tangent. well, i hope you all are having a better cycle than i am. whatever babydust i missed out on this cycle, i wish it all to you. so lots of luck and extra baby dust.

Hello everyone. I'm surprised that I am getting an internet connection right now. We are tucked way back in the Rocky Mountains in a cute B&B. I'm feeling so much more relaxed and haven't thought too much about the 2WW. But I will turn in to my normal crazy woman TTC when I get back I'm sure! LOL. I just can't help it. I think I'm 2DPO but not really sure when I actually O'd. I will have to put my BBT into FF when I get back home this weekend and see what it says. I could possibly be 3 DPO. I haven't even figured out my POAS date. So I'm pretty relaxed about it right now.

Nannars- Thanks for thinking about me! I have been wondering how you all have been. I'm sorry you are going crazy in the 2WW. Are you having any pg symptoms?

JL- Have you tested already? I really hope you get your BFP early- wouldn't that be nice?

Ishall- I hope you get things sorted out soon. It sounds like you do know more than your RE- That's sad.

Mel- When do you leave on your cruise? Hope your last days of school went well.

Well, I'm off to bed. I will check back in with you all on Saturday!

Ishall

okay, my RE actually called me just now (he called himself for the first time ever), and apologized about having to cancell the HSG. Then he told me to come in tomorrow for u/s and b/w to see where I am. Duh! So, I guess we'll see what's going on now. Depending on how far away I may be from O, then we might still be able to do the HSG. But get this, I just went to go tinkle, and I think I had ewcm! It's been so long since I've seen that, and I never look for it, I wasn't sure what it was at first. *TMI* There was also some slight spotting/brown looking stuff in that first wipe. Well, I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow. Thanks guys for being so supportive and keeping me sane.
megs, glad you're enjoying yourself. keep relaxing but have fun.
jl, did you poas yet? let us know, let us know!
nanners, hang in there for a few days before you poas. mondays usually suck, so this can be something to look forward to...
good luck ladies!

Am i the only one w/o a fun summer vacation planned? I need to get on the ball!

Ishall-So glad the re contacted you and things seem to be more positive.

Megs-I am so jealous of you right now, it seems you are having a blast.

Jl-Where are you , how are you progressing? (poas??)

Melfab-Happy bding on your cruise!!!

I am wanting to poas so bad, but i want a positive one, such a brat! Hugs ladies!!!

Sorry I haven't been around much this week. I have been so busy getting ready for this weekend. anyhow, I did start poas and bfn so far. But I may only be 10-11dpo so I'm not worrying about it yet. Not feeling optimistic so we'll see. I'm leaving this morning to go out of town with dh. will be back monday. Have a great weekend!!!

Ishall

06-22-2007, 08:04 PM

jl - have a great anniversary wknd with dh. keep poas. i'm sending lots of bfp dust to you. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/shall18/bfpdust.gif
mel and megs, you guys have fun too. baby dust! http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/shall18/78.gif
nanners, don't worry, you're not alone. we hadnt planned anything for this summer either. (but after our news today, we started talking about it.) i wish you lots of patience dust and baby dust too. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/shall18/patience.gif
so, i saw the RE today, and apperently i O'd on my own! and on like cd 14 or 15 too. crazy! so he says, well good thing we didn't do the HSG because you might be cooking something in there. so, i guess i can keep hope alive this cycle. i'll test in 2 w and we'll see. in the meantime, the nurse tells me to call on cd 1 to reschedule the HSG. (obviously, no optimism from her). so, please, please, keep your fingers crossed for me.

JL- How's everything going? Any new news?

Nannars- have you POAS yet? You only have a few more days!!!

Well, I put my temps into FF this morning and it says I am 6 DPO and I thought I was 5 DPO. So that's good news. I O'd on CD14 which is an amazing feat for me! We got back from vacation at 2:00 am last night! I'm glad I have a couple days before I have to get back to work! Hope all is well with everyone.

(I posted this on the fertility site but i wanted to post it here too cause you guys are awesome!!!)

megs: I am sure the DH liked that. We are leaving for our cruise today and my DH was picking out lingerie for me to take. A little anxious is he??? :wink:
Here is hoping that you and I come back with vacation miralces. I am OV this coming week so this just might work out great!!! The only time that I have ever gotten a BFP before was when we were on vacation when I was O'ing. LOL. Good luck megs

Good luck and baby dust to all while I am gone. DH and I are going on a cruise till July 1st and we are going to stop in and see cuddles too. YEAH!!! BABY DUST TO YOU ALL, I WILL MISS YOU!!!!

I hate emotions! I was in such a good mood this morning. I was even feeling hopeful. Then we went to our good friend's birthday party. She gave me a hug when we first walked in and blurted out that she's expecting. I guess she found out on Father's Day. We are in the same Bible study. We have been TTC since their wedding last April and they get pg the first try! I've only O'd 3 times ever! Plus today is the 2 month date since we lost our precious little one. I feel like I'm losing it all over again. I just hate that I'm going through all of this and I hate that I can't feel happy for people when they announce that they are pg! It makes me feel so bad for myself. So now I'm feeling really hopeless about this cycle and so sad that everyone else is having babies. We now only have one couple that we are friends with that aren't expecting or already have little babies. When will it ever be our turn?

Hi Megs--I'm so sorry about your loss and the continual reminder that other pregnancies bring. It is hard. And it sucks. It seems that a day doesn't go by when I'm not confronted with the pregnant belly of someone. Some days I handle it fine and other days I just want to run away screaming "it's not fair!!!" My losses were in February and it is getting easier--SLOWLY. I think you are around 8 weeks since your loss and that seems to be a really hard time for most women with losses. Please know that what you are feeling is totally normal.

Pregnancy announcements do seem to just set me off. The only time I've been truly happy to hear of someone's pregnancy was my cousin who had lost a baby herself and really stepped in to support me when I lost Rebekah and Jacob. I was actually inspired by her news and I hope to one day inspire someone else with my happy news after such a sad time. You will do the same!

If you ever want to just talk about your loss and not be sucked into the TTC world, come over to pregnancyloss.info Great board, great info and great women who can share in your pain and frustration.

Thinking of you-
Betsy

Megs-I'm with ya. Today we had a family bbq and what would ya know surprise "we're pregnant", my dh's cousin would got married 9 months after us. Would ya know they just stopped taking bcp to see what happens , and how fantastic. blah blah blah scream scream scream. I really do think I would doing okay until they just kept on and kept on. Baby doctors, and baby beds, and baby nAMES, and baby friggin everything!!!!! I'll post more later, dh is trying to get my mind off of the day.

megs&david

06-25-2007, 08:29 AM

Nannars- I'm sorry! I hate that. DH was afraid to say anything b/c the one time he did, I burst into tears. I think this one actually upset him too. Yesterday when I brought it up, he was telling me how unfair it is and that they have no idea what a big deal getting pg is! He's so sweet. Anyways, it's kinda made me lose some hope and I've shed way too many tears. I think the only thing that will make me feel better is if I get pg.

bbmk2- thanks for the encouraging words. I hope it does get better, but I'm hoping to get pg again soon! Then maybe I won't feel as bad.

megs&david

06-25-2007, 08:31 AM

I forgot... Nannars, have you POAS yet? Any sign of AF? I hope this is it for you! I was super close to POAS this morning but I was just barely able to contain myself! It's too early for me to test yet!

Nannars

06-25-2007, 06:43 PM

Megs-I swear chica we are in sync. Dh same story yesterday, he ended up getting sad when we went to Target (target usually cheers me up), there were babies and pg mommas everywhere, he ended up saying lets just go. Then I felt worse for him, ah what a cycle.

I poas'd today-bfn :( , so no more till my bw on Wednesday. Temp is still up for what it's worth.

How is everyone??

megs&david

06-26-2007, 11:20 AM

Nannars- I hope that your bfn was just b/c it's too early. I hope you get a surprise tomorrow with your b/w.

JL- Where are you? Did you have a fun weekend? Did you get any surprises? Have you tested again? We haven't seen you in a while on here!

Mel- Hope you are having a great time on your cruise. I'm praying we both have vacation babies!

So I figured out that if I get pg this month my EDD is 3/9/08. I want to be hopeful, but at the same time I am scared to get my hopes up too high. I'm just trying not to POAS and trying to find a lot to occupy my time!

Nannars

06-26-2007, 12:27 PM

Megs-So happy you are preoccupying yourself. I am wishing great things for ya'.

Ishall-How are you? Aren't you in the 2ww?

JL-How was ya'lls trip? What did ya'll decide to do? Have you tested?

Okay I'm awful. I called into work today. I do believe the progesterone makes me positively exhausted. I just feel tired all the time. So I have vacation and personal time to use. I left early yesterday, if I weren't on hte progesteron I'd swear I was coming down with the flu. So I was supposed to get bw done tomorrow, but since I was off today called re's office so I will have bw done today YEAY. Not sure if they can give results today, but I will just be happy to get it over with. I am thinking I will go get my nails and toes done, which should make me feel better. It's getting to my due date and I had hoped to be pg by then, the thought of not shakes me up a bit.

Lots of Baby dust to all of us!!!!!

megs&david

06-26-2007, 12:37 PM

Nannars- I feel like we're the only ones on here today! LOL. I hope you get the results today. Mine only take two hours- but we have our own lab, it's not send out. I hope you do pamper yourself today. You totally deserve it. I have been thinking that if I don't get my BFP this month, then I will let myself go for an hour massage. It helps to relax! Even though I'm finding stuff to keep me occupied, I am still obsessing over every little symptom. This is the worst one: I have been making DH check evernight to see if bb's are getting bigger. That was the most noticable thing last time. LOL! I hope I'm not the only one that does that. I was also so tired yesterday that I fell asleep on the couch. I never do that. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I hope there's a reason!

06-26-2007, 05:46 PM

Ok - so going to the doctor the first time since the mc is a little hard, but a little hopefull at the same point. Once I got over the initial - I guess I am not here for my pregnancy check up, and through the questions I was ok. It looks like we have a plan now at least. If I don't have my period on my own within 2 weeks, I will start provera - I need 2 cycles before I can start trying again. But she will induce those cycles if need be. Then after that - back to Clomid! So lets see that puts me TTC in August or Sept. Not too teriablly far away. Can't wait though! Hope all is well! Just you know I am the worlds worst at trying to keep up with the boards -but I am going to give it a honest effort!

Nanners - Sorry the progesterone is hard on you! I hope it gets better soon!

Mega - I hope this is it for you - keep you chin up!

Bady dust to everyone!

Hello ladies,

I know some of you saw my posts in the other forums, and I want to say thanks for the support. For the rest of you, I got a BFP on Thurs. June 21st, followed a few hours later by AF. Got blood work done Friday and Monday, and found out my numbers had gone from 26 to 3. I am doing better today, trying to look at the bright side of things, but it just plain SUCKS! And now I am playing the "what if" game with myself. I have no idea why I miscarried, it could be the obvious progesterone levels, or just not a viable genetic baby, could be I over did it while at camp (which I tried so hard not to, just in case). Dh is upset, but he is more upset and worried about me, and I can't tell him how to make it better, because there is no way he can. At least now we know I CAN get pregnant, and what it takes, which for the longest time I was thinking my body just couldn't do it. so that helps....but it still sucks to be so happy for a couple of days to have it ripped out and devestated the next. and now, to have to wait this cycle out, a whole month off before TRYING again, then having to wait and hope that the same thing doesn't happen. And now, I am afraid to test at all, that I will end up with AF again after a BFP and go thru it all over again.

Sorry for the rant, and rambling...just had to say it somewhere.

jlbroyles

06-26-2007, 06:36 PM

hey ladies. things have been crazy around here. This past weekend was not our anniversary trip it was my uncle's wedding. It was fun but dh and I are both tired. We drove 19 hrs in the 3 days we were gone. The thought of getting in a car makes us both want to vomit. Anyhow, this coming weekend is our anniversary trip...friday is our anniversary. Anyhow, all I know about it is that we are going to baltimore, not sure what else. Yes, I have poas and obviously it is bfn, if it was bfp I would have found a computer and posted so ya'll could be the first to know. I guess I"m not out yet since AF hasn't arrived but not feeling positive. Cramps have started a little bit and bb's are really tingly and sore and I am really bloated. Anyhow, we are done messing around. This next cycle we are doing clomid w/trigger and IUI. If I end up with 15 babies then so be it. :) We considered taking 3 months off and try to lose a massive amount of weight but the thought of taking more time off from ttc breaks my heart...and dh's. So I am still going to stay on WW, exercise and do this stupid a$$ clomid.

queen- I am so sorry that you m/c. That is the same thing that happened to me. I got a bfp then 2 days later had a m/c. Hopefully you can get back ttc real soon!

BABY DUST!!!

Ishall

06-26-2007, 06:57 PM

Queen - I am so sorry for your loss. It is such a devastating thing to go through, but feel free to talk to the ladies here, because they are so amazingly helpful. Again, I'm really sorry about your loss.
Nanners - Give it a few more days, and poas again. I will cross everything for you and send a lot of bfp dust your way.
JL - You're not out either for this cycle. Poas again later, and let us know. Good luck hun, and welcome back from your anniv. trip.
Megs - A few more days and you'll be poas too. Sending baby dust your way too.
Texas - Waiting to ttc again is very difficult after a loss. The time seems to take forever. But, hopefully you'll get there soon and you get another bfp soon. Good luck to you.
I'm testing next month, maybe 7/4. I'm not exactly sure when I O'd because when I had my u/s and b/w on Friday they said I had O'd already, within 48 hours or so. I guess on Wed., so I'll wait and test and maybe get a 4th of July suprise.

Nannars

06-26-2007, 09:41 PM

Wow you ladies have been busy!

Megs-Hope your bb's are bigger! That's so funny. Guess mine are so small that trick won't work for me :roll:

SS-Stupidly I went ahead and went to my annual 5days after mc and it really was traumatic for me. I hate this for you, but so glad you have a plan. Hoping a lil spring baby is in the works for ya'!.

Queen-So glad to see you posting. Everyone over here is just great, it makes you feel good to know others have sort of been in your shoes. I hate that you are playing the what if game. It's not your fault, you just have to know that.

JL-If no af then you are not out , still holding out for ya!

Ishall-Hoping a lil firecracker for ya'!!!

I had bw done today but since it was in the afternoon then they won't tell me the results till tomorrow. A teenzy bit crampy, but nothing else. Well dh is being needy, :-) bye ladies! he just read that and sighed. ((HUGS))

kells22

06-27-2007, 07:44 AM

Nannars- i am praying you get a bfp confirmed from b/w tomorrow!!

Queen- i'm so sorry for your loss... i really hope you get pg again soon with a sticky bean!

Ishall- i am praying that you get a bfp soon, you all deserve it so much!

JL- you are always in my thoughts, i feel positive that you will get a precious baby... or fifteen :lol:

Take care ladies, i am thinking of you all xxx

megs&david

06-27-2007, 10:52 AM

Nannars- Any word yet on the b/w? Good luck. I hope it's happy, happy news.

sstexas- I only had to wait one month, but it felt really long! Try to find as much to occupy your time as possible! I still hate going to the doctor since m/c. Two weeks ago I fell and hurt my leg, so I went to my gp and she sat there looking sorry for me and said, "So how are you holding up?" I hope it gets better.

Queen- I am so sorry that this is happening to you. Please feel free to vent here all you need. We have all been there! My DH was so worried about me for a long time after our m/c. I think the best thing he could do for me is just hold me when I was crying. He was also really good about fielding phone calls and keeping the house clean. I think it made him feel useful. I am keeping you in my prayers!

j/l- hope your anniversary trip is great fun! AF has not shown yet, so you are not out yet!!!

Ishall- We are almost testing buddies! Good luck to you!

Ishall

06-27-2007, 05:27 PM

okay, i have a question that involves disscussing gross stuff, so if anyone is brave enough to read, any input would be helpful.
so, 2 days ago i had a cross btwn ewcm and really gooey brown stuff when i wiped, with really not much in my undies when i went to the restroom. it was only a little and didn't show up again. then today i have the same thing, but i had to wipe even more and i had a whole lot more in my undies. so, i've read about possible implantation spotting, but is this really considered spotting? i went back and put it in FF for today and tuesday as spotting, thinking that maybe some kind of message would pop up about implantation, but it didn't. anyway, any ideas on what it could mean?
in the meantime - anyone poas again for an update? good luck everyone.

Nannars

06-27-2007, 06:09 PM

Ishall-Could be implantation. I have never experienced that. I sure hope so for you!!

Megs-How are you holding up? It's almost that time! Everything is crossed for you !

Kells-Thanks for continuing to check in with us, we appreciate your baby dust!

Well I am out. Bw came back bfn. This just sux. It does help that the clomid dwindled a week off of my "normal" cycle, so as soon as af comes then I should be back on the crazy train. Hey at least my finger nails and toes look good! Also going forward I'd like to give the 25 mg clomid another chance. It did work and made me o 5days earlier, which is fantastic. I ordered preseed today, gonna give it a whirl. My birthday is in August, as was my due date. I am hoping I am spared such misery and have my bfp by then. If not well the big guy evidently thinks I can handle it and I suppose I will. Also if I may I looked it up today and I would be 34 weeks pregnant had I been able to keep my lil one'. Ah here comes crazy ttc woman

Ishall

06-27-2007, 09:35 PM

i'm so sorry nanners. i know it sucks. and thinking about how far along you would be if you hadn't lost your baby is not crazy, it's completely normal. every time i see a little 2 year old, i think about my savannah, probably even more so this past cycle and i haven't had clomid since may. well, i wish you luck for this next cycle. i hope the clomid does work out for you.

Ishall

06-27-2007, 09:58 PM

i'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my body down so, i found this on www.babyhopes.com:
Every once in a while, the brown discharge in cervical mucus can also be attributed to implantation, in which case you are pregnant. After ovulation a mature ovum, ready to be fertilized is released in the uterus. If this ovum encounters a good sperm and gets fertilized, it means the woman has conceived. When the fertilized ovum burrows into the uterine lining, some blood is often released and passed as brown discharge. Most women hardly notice it, but those who check mucus patterns are very aware of it.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but when i told dh about it i was practically giggling i was so happy. i really really really hope this is it. i do remember having lots of gross discharge in early pregnancy before, but it was so long ago, i don't remember exactly when and why. well, anyway, wish me luck.

megs&david

06-27-2007, 11:15 PM

Ishall- that does sound like some good news! I hope that this is it for you! Do you think you will hold out until 7/4 to POAS?

Nannars- *HUGS* I'm so sorry it was a BFN. Any sign of AF? I'm praying that you will get pg in July and then you won't be so sad in August. It's not silly to think about how far along you would be. I would be 16 weeks today. I think we all keep track. It's a way of remembering our little ones. Keep your chin up. Next month is your month.

I know there has been discussion about OPK's to test for pg. Does anyone know what the line is supposed to look like to indicate pg? I did an OPK today because I have a ton of extra and there was a line, but not darker than the test line. I need to go get my HPT so I can test for real, but it's my way of not POAS too soon. Any insight would be great. Still having pg symptoms- I want to believe they are pg symptoms and not AF symptoms!

megs&david

06-27-2007, 11:16 PM

Ohh, I'm at the top. Hope it's a good sign!

jlbroyles

06-28-2007, 08:00 AM

Ok don't want to keep anyone in suspense. AF has showed her ugly face during the night as expected. I started light spotting last night so I knew she was on the way. Anyhow, on to my 1st clomid/IUI cycle. My RE wants me to take clomid cd1-5 so I guess I start today. A little nervous but very hopeful that this works. Anyhow, I won't be on much until next week b/c I have to get ready today for our anniversary trip!! Tomorrow's the big day and we leave tomorrow morning. It sucks that AF is here though, I guess no anniversary BD for us :cry:

megs- good luck! Hope it's bfp for you and not af!

nanners- sorry for the bfn, hope af shows soon so you can move on. Are you doing clomid again this cycle?

ishall- things sound promising for you too. Praying for your july 4th bfp!!

ta ta for now!! :)

Ishall

06-28-2007, 10:21 AM

are you kidding me, i can't wait the whole 2w! i poas this morning. it was a bfn of course, but i know it's really early, so i'm not completely devastated yet. i think i can hold out for a few more days and try again.
jl - sorry about AF, that sucks. but i hope you have fun on your anniv. trip, even though no bd.
megs - i haven't heard that about opk predicting a bfp, but it doesn't hurt to try and see. but you should get some hpt too. i get a couple from the dollar store, and then like a "brand name" one from a regular drug store for my test date, so i can waste a few before then. good luck hun.
good luck everyone, and sorry for the AFs and bfns.

Ishall

06-28-2007, 07:02 PM

okay, i am spotting brown again. 2 days in a row probably doesn't mean implantation. it's more likely AF on her friggin witchy way. so, the hpt was probably right. FUDGE!!!

jlbroyles

06-28-2007, 07:49 PM

ishall- Your not allowed to give up on 8dpo!!! I say so!!!! :)

Nannars

06-28-2007, 08:55 PM

oooh wee ladies when ya'll are busy ya'll are busy

First and foremost Miss Ishall you can NOT call out 8dpo, you should just now be getting your progesterone checked so that you don't need to be supplemented. 8 days could be implantation, not necessarily af unless you have progesterone issues which in that case have your progesterone checked. I was typing that in my stern typing, could ya tell? Prolly not I'm not good at being stern. Please call that ofc and get some bw done, or have it done locally since they are a drives away. What do ya' think? Is your docs office doing any kind of 2ww testing?

Ishall and Megs-Thanks for the kind words (hugs)

Megs-Just find the closest dollar tree and stack up on hpts! Let us know the great results!

Jl-So glad af finally showed, well you know-now onto new things! Good luck with the clomid, how much are you starting with mg wise? Hey in ref to bd, just have lots of foreplay :roll:

Well as for me no af yet, me and my crazy self have talked myself into them testing too early. See this time I thought I o'd on day 14, I don't normally o till cd19 at the earliest, so now ya'll see where I'm going. So "normally" I wouldn't be poasing till next wednesday 35 day cycle. See I am crazy! So if af is coming please show because I am clearly losing it. Everytime I get negative bw with no af I think of Joluke on the pg/mom board to got a bfn who is now like 4 years old! Please ladies send me whatever dust is applicable to my situation, maybe sanity dust?

Ishall and Megs-Holding out for you guys!!! Good luck and Best Wishes!!

Thanks guys! You're all too sweet. believe me, I don't want to throw in the towel yet, but today it's not just (brown) spotting, it's actually a little bit of a (red) flow. I left a msg at the RE's office, especially bc this is only cd23, but who knows when they call back. we're supposed to be going out of town this wknd (to get my mind off of the 2ww), but maybe we'll just stay home. anyway, thanks for all the well wishes.
nanners, i'm sending you so much dust you'll need a duster!
jl - it sounds like you have a good attack plan. good luck!
megs - one of us has to get lucky this cycle, right? crossing my fingers for you!

okay, so I went to Dollar Tree last night and bout 5 HPT! I dreamed all last night that I got a BFP this morning. But, it was BFN. I'm not out yet though! Yesterday my temp dropped but today it spiked up .6 degrees. That is what happened last time I got my BFP. Triphasic? Who knows. Is 12DPO too last for implantation? Isn't that what a drop and then a spike can indicate. FF didn't say anything about implantation today, but I thought it might still be a possibility. Last time I didn't test until 14DPO and barely saw the line- it was so light I thought I was seeing things and had to have b/w to confirm. So here are my symptoms so we can obsess over them: bb's really, really sore since 8DPO, increase appetitie since 9DPO, slight cramping since 10DPO, and yesterday (11DPO) I was smelling things like crazy. At first I thought it was my imagination, but my co-worker got back from a retirement party on a different floor and she smelled like egg rolls- I asked her and she said that's what she had to eat there. And everyone's perfume seemed extra strong and no one else could smell it. These are all such good signs! I was really hoping for an early BFP this morning. AF usually comes on 12DPO, today. Hopefully she will stay away. What will I do if I'm not pg this month! I have gotten my hopes way up! Sorry for rambling!

Nannars- thanks for the well wishes. I am sending you BFP dust. No AF means you are not out yet! I'm still holding out for you. Maybe your O date was off!

Ishall- hope your RE office calls you back soon. I hate waiting around for a phone call all day! I think I would still keep your plans, you need to try and relax this weekend!

Jl- Hope you are having a wonderful anniversary weekend!

Mel- hope you gave cuddles a hug from us all and I hope that you are having a wonderful, relaxing time!

megs, those are really good signs. i hope this is it for you. baby dust, baby dust, baby dust!
well, AF is here today. and i called the RE's office again and finally got through to someone and the nurse said this is in perfectly "normal" range, as if anything about this is "normal." anyway, i resceduled my HSG for next Friday, so maybe we'll learn something. you see how this whole process is like a roller coaster. in the last 48 hrs i've been up and down and everywhere in between, i'm naucious. anyway, i hope things work out for you nanners and megs.

I got my BFP this morning! I can't even believe it! I felt pregnant, but I was still skeptical. I used two tests this morning- one from the dollar tree and one that came with my preseed. They both had really faint lines on them. I don't really think that two BFP's means a false positive. I will go in for b/w on Monday. My RE office is closed on the weekends unless you need to do an IUI. Please pray that this baby is sticky! I don't think I can handle another loss!

Thanks for the well wishes. I know it sucks when you hear someone else got a BFP. I hope that you all join me soon- This has been my little home and I want you all on the pg board soon! I that any of us have had to go through all of this!

Nannars- I think you should go on vacation when you O next! It seems to help. Has AF shown yet? You should definately do the cough syrup again this month and preseed- I have never had that much EWCM.

Mel- Hope you are having a great time and that you come back with a vacation miracle too.

jl- can't wait to hear about your weekend!

Congrats Megs! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months! :lol:

I'm truly happy for you. Anyone who has gone through a loss is certainly deserving of only happiness from the rest of us. (It's the unwanted and OOPS! pregnancies that make me go insane).

Enjoy the preggo boards...I'm sure I'll be following your progress!

Time for some personals--

JL--Hope you are having a great anniversary trip! DH and I went to the beach this past week for our anniversary and of course, AF showed right before we left so that meant seeing the RE on our way out of town. We still had a great time but it was strange to not do any BDing on our anniversary trip!

nanners--so sorry about AF. Here's hoping for an April baby for you!

ishall--so sorry about AF, too. I'll respond to you on the VA board. That place is totally dead so I guess we can use it as our own personal board. I think when the site went down in Febraury everyone deserted.

StaciV--Hi there. I look forward to getting to know you.

As for me--DH and I decided to start officially TTC in September rather than waiting until October. I just can't wait that long! We are still trying to get the dose of Femara right so hopefully by then we'll have it all worked out.

ROLL CALL--Have I missed anyone on this TTC board? JL, Nanners, Ishall, StaciV and myself. Recent grads megs&david and kells22. What would you ladies think about us starting a memberlist and a graduate list? There aren't very many of us so it would be easy to keep up with. I was just thinking that we are all in various stages of grieving and healing and it would be nice to keep in touch with each other. It can be easy for people to float in and out and just "disappear". I think a member thread might be good for us. Any thoughts?
