ladies, hope you all have a wonderful long weekend (well at least the ones in the US). i'll probably be checking in every so often since i don't have anything major planned. SMMOM - that episode w/Jinn and the bear was supposed to be a flashback of when he initially go married. they said it was the year of the dragon or something, which was a few years ago and the next one isn't anytime soon. plus he mentioned in that episode when someone asked if he was delivering the bear to someone else that he is not the father and has no kids b/c he has just gotten married. it's pretty confusing. i wonder if he survived that blast and if not, i wonder if he'll show up like jack's dad keeps popping up. oh and what happened to claire?! so confusing, but so good. ERIN - continue to keep us posted, i'll be checking in to see what you find out whether through an hpt or your dr. JSTALEY - have fun away w/your family and mil. hope you enjoy relaxing and reading. BRYANDI - a picnic at the beach sounds wonderful. i'm thinking maybe i'll do that too. hope you enjoy! later ladies! ↑
AF came today while I am working. I sobbed in the restroom. The dr office didn't ever call but I know the answer. BFN. At least I know that I ovulate because I had a spontaneous period without having to take provera. Thanks ladies for all your support. Now once again cd 1. ↑
Erin, I am sooo sorry. I was totally banking on this month to be the one for you! I can completely understand you being upset about it. I know how much you were hoping for this month to work out. ↑
Hi guys. ERIN I am sorry to hear about AF, but as you said it shows everything is working as it should and as I have said all along, if not this month, then next month. I know how hard it is to wait, and how nothing anyone says takes away the disappointment. But this is your chance to start anew. A new month for a new chance at BFP. You are so going to be a brilliant mummy, your time to wait is now but it will soon be your time and good things come to those who wait so imagine how good it will be for you when it happens! Thinking of you sweetie..... ↑
Hi girls, prepare yourselves and im sorry in advance but this going to be a long one as i have a lot to tell you and im feeling like i need to get it all out so i can feel better afterwards. Had my big follow up scan yesterday and consultants appointment. In a nutshell heres what they said. During the scan they still cant find anything physically wrong with Tyler, but the consultant is convinced that something chromosomal is wrong which cant be picked up on a normal scan. So he is sending me for a 4D scan which will be next tuesday and they are hoping this will pick something up which hasnt been previously. There is the threat of downs syndrome, plus others there. Obviously I am hoping they dont find anything and that he is perfect - but im going to have to wait and see, again. The fluid count has now dropped below critical, 4.8cm. As i dont appear to be leaking fluid, well i could be but it must be just tiny amounts at a time, if i am, thats why the consultant thinks theres something else wrong. Im no longer in a tropical environment so it seems strange that its dropping faster now im in a cooler place. I guess i can see why the docs leaning the way he is. Hes also sending me for some addtional blood tests for some unusual infections that i may be unaware of, that are not normally tested for during pregnancy - i dont even know the names of them. He just said they want to rule absolutley everything out. The placenta is still unusually large and unhealthy - like someone whos been smoking or worse during the pregnancy, which i find quite upsetting seeing as ive made every effort i could to give this baby only good food and ive never smoked or heavily drank or worse - in my entire life. Anyway, its still low lying anterior - the worst possible one to have on top of everything else which means an unusual ceserean birth. They have to make the incision higher and theres more risk to the mother due to bloodloss or subsequent rupture or infection. They told me there is a chance that this might not happen, if it moves up for example, but that its only a 10% chance because its so big and heavy and because normally placentas in this position tend to move in the final few weeks and im obviously not going to get that far. The prognosis theyve given me for how premature hes going to be - it could be that on tuesday when i go for the scan that they keep me in and start infusing liquid or just go for it, depending how bad the placenta is and if they find anything wrong with the baby, or whatever. Im looking at the chance he may be born at 27 weeks, or maybe il hold on until 32 or thereabouts, they dont know for sure. Girls my mind is so full of stuff im finding it really hard to cope. Ive prayed very hard for some strength for us all to get through this and have the best possible outcome, but im steeling myself for the worse case scenrios aswell. I mean i could be about to have the most defining moment of my life about to happen, either giving birth to a severely handicapped premature baby, or worse, that he dosnt make it, or even that something happens to me during the ceserean and that dh is left with a horrible situation. Im not being negative im just trying to really look at the best and worst things that can happen and prepare myself. On the other hand, I may be able to hang on a few more weeks or another month or two until the placenta gives up, it may move and i may have a much more positive birth followed by a totally normal, if small, baby. Thats what im trying to focus on!! And inside me somewhere i do think thats whats going to happen. I do feel that this baby is ok. I just have this horrible cloud hanging over me which im trying to deal with. On top of everything (i told you this would be a moaning session!) Im still having chronic backache which is preventing me sleeping and im like the walking dead without all this worry. So im going to get reffered for some phsyiotherapy today hopefully and see if they can help me. Im barely sleeping for an hour before i wake up in agony and i need some help. I cant take any painkillers, given the precarious situiation with Tyler. Oh and i forgot to tell you i had a steroid injection yesterday and have another one this morning to help his lungs develop faster. They put me on extra iron to help in case i have the ceserean and theyve put me on alert to stop taking the aspirin soon, as this may encourage more bloodloss during the surgury. On the other hand its probably the one thing thats helped him survive so long. I should feed this back to you girls but the consultant said it was a blessing id taken it off my own back as this will have helped the obviously rubbish placenta give something to tyler. Otherwise i may have lost him several weeks ago as it would have failed much earlier. So its a toughie to know when to stop taking it and the consultants told me to continue right now, and hopefully they can give me at least a few days notice about the birth and il stop taking it immiediately as they tell me. If your wondering how my poor overwhelmed dh is taking this, hes being great. Hes my rock. Poor guy is still just picking up a few odd jobs here and there but nothing permanent yet so hes stressed about that. He has an interview next thursday though so we are praying that comes through. Its for a trainee management position so that would be wonderfull experience if he can get it, or ive told him just look at the interview process as great experience and not put too much pressure on himself to get the first job first time. After all, it is the first time he will have experienced anything like that before. Its not the same over in DR or Haiti!! Hes quite taken back by all the problems were having with the baby as things like this are rare where hes from and i keep saying 'welcome to western civilisation!' supposedly a better life, but far more problems and stresses. Im just focusing on all the positives i have right now. A wonderfull, loving husband and family who are supporting us right now in so many ways. A strong shared faith. Possibly a beautiful fighter of a baby on the way. Im being reffered to one of the top 3 most advanced hospitals in the UK so that gives me some hope for Tylers survival. And lots of friends who are always there for me. And you girls rooting for me aswell. Im so so sorry i havent been able to keep up with all your lives, i just have so much stuff on my plate right now. Oh in other news my second sister in law had her first baby on tuesday after a horrendous ordeal, 48 hours of contractions, getting turned away from the hospital twice because she was only 2cm dilated, having to go through an attempted forceps delivery and the baby would not budge, so they rushed her in for a ceserean and he was 10lbs 9oz!!! And was enormous and all swollen up and bruised from being tried to be pushed out of somewhere he was never going to fit. So we are are really angry with the hospital that they didnt pick up on the fact he was huge and didnt induce her earlier. I mean they let her go 1 week over, even though they knew he was going to be large. Poor girl is so shattered. Also he was rushed off to intensive care because he wasnt breathing very well and had a high tempreture, and now he has low blood sugar, but hes going to be ok in a few days theyve said. He just needs to rest up after the stress of a traumatic birth. So shes still going through the mill of it poor girl. Ive been to see him and he is so sweet, but after i left i felt really emotional, i think its seeing them both have their babies, despite the nasty births and theyre all going to be ok. I just want mine to be here and to be ok too. So now im an aunty for the first time, which is kinda nice. I wish i could be focusing on that more and didnt have so many distractions!! Anyway girls id better go, ive been typing this since 5am (when i woke up) and crying on and off is not helping me with my beauty regime. I have to go and sort myself out. I thank you for listening and letting me offload all these feelings im having. Say some prayers for me and my little family and il be thinking of everything youre all going through. Erin im sorry af came. I know you must be devestated, but its a new start and i know you will make this a good month. Who was it that correctly guessed im from the northeast of england! That dfid make me smile. It was probably all the 'me mam and me dad' stuff right. Sorry, i had almost lost my accent but it came straight back when i got home, much to dh's amusement. Anyway i must go and wake myself up and put a face on. I look sooo rough. Enjoy your 4th july you us ladies and il update asap. Wish me some peace for during my steroid injection today in my thigh muscle, it hurts believe me! Take care all x x x x x ↑
MISSP, thanks for telling us about Tyler and the fluid and the placental problems. You sound so stressed and tired. I am so sorry that you and DH have to go through this. I pray with all my heart that Tyler is ok and that your gut feeling is right. Why are they making you wait til Tues to get another scan?? Because of the weekend?? I'm sure that Tyler is moving about or you wouldn't be writing this but would be at the ER. I am glad that you getting the steroids because those help so much. I'm sure that you are water logged and so tired of water. You know that this is not your fault and you have done everything in your power to help him. Please let us know if anything happens but it may get crazy and I'll just keep praying for you until I hear the good news that Tyler is fine. I'm glad that they can't find anything physically wrong with Tyler. Thank you so much for all your kind words. I know that what you are going through is so rough and I appreciate that you took the time to write a sweet comment to me. I had a rough night and cried throughout my dinner because another friend told me she was pregnant with twins and my other friend ask me to go to her sono with her on Monday. I don't know why this month is different than any other month. I just couldn't help being sad. Thanks for listening and you know that we love you and will be keeping you in our prayers. ↑
Miss P (sorry I don't know your name) it was me who guessed about you being from the north. I have spent a lot of time in England, am married to an Englishman and am from an English family background so "mam" just switched the light on for me! I am so sorry you are going through such a tough time, I can truly empathise as I was told similar issues with my daughter during my pregnancy and she turned out better than fine. Not the liquid issue you are having but she had markers for Downs and I had several ultrasounds purely and simply because the doctors wanted to look and look and look. Since they can't find anything wrong with Tyler, why do they continue to think something chromosonal is not right? I'm not discounting your worries by any means (as I have said, I have been there) but not everything turns out to be as bad as doctors say it might be. Just continue to stay as strong as you are, count your blessings as you are already doing, bask in your husband's strength and love, pray if that helps you and focus on the end result - Tyler. Everything you are already doing. You are doing everything you can by eating well and taking great care of yourself, you are being a real trouper. The strength you are displaying and learning is what you need to cling to, what a woman you are and what a mummy you will be. I am crossing fingers, toes, arms and legs for you right now. We are all here for you. Unfortunately, things in life do get tough sometimes, and we have to take the bad times with the good - sometimes the hardest thing is just simply not knowing what is coming next, good or bad. I'm saying prayers for Tyler, you and your strength right now as I type. ↑
Good morning ladies !!!!!!!! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !!! That is for all us AMericans !! For all you Europeans it probably just means it is literally the 4th of July !! HAHA. ERIN...I am so sorry about af...but you are right...atleast provera is doing its job and making you ovulate. MAybe it will take a cycle of two of that and it will happen on its own !!!!! JUDI....I thought the episode was with JIn marrying someone else !!! SO I am now confused !!! As for Claire....her dad is dead..so I am assuming she is now also. Especially since she visited Kate and then vanished. ANd let her son go !!! I guess we will have to wait for a couple more months to figure this one out. But My guess is that he did not leave the show...alot of them have gone off to do movies and come back !! MISSP..... I am praying for you and Tyler !! I am glad they are maturing his lungs...as that is important for him to come early !!! I hope that tey are wrong and that he is a perfectly healthy little boy...and you can make it to atleast 32 weeks. Bt if he is born at 27...then knowing you had him in the best hospital with the best care is all you can do. And that you have done and taken every step necessary to give him health and a good start. You did what you could and now it may be time to let the doctors do what they can. I am praying all is ok. Please Please let us know asap on Thursday what they say at your us !!! Ladies...I am off to get my day started...All us good here for Carson and I. I am still having thoe nasty sharp cramps and pains like all of you....freaks me out everytime !!! But I think he is good as he is wiggling alot these days. YUP...still dancing Carson !! HAHA. OK...we have to take dd to get fireworks and everyone is coming to our house..so gotta finish cleaning !!! ↑
MissP I am so sorry things sound so scary right now. I am sure
that every possible scenario has run through your mind. I will think of you
and picture only the happiest possible scenario happening to you. I am relieved that
your doctors have finally reacted and you are getting referred to the best hospitals and they
are doing everything to rule every last possiblility out. I was worried at first that you were getting
better care back where you were before. Hang in there. Please let us know what happens! I hope everyone had
a great 4th! ↑
Hi girls, well here i am awake at 3.30am again, absolutley shattered but cant sleep. At least its giving me some quiet time to catch up with you girls! Thank you so much for all your lovely thoughts, it really means a lot to me. Everyones being so lovely at the moment. It really makes me feel even more emotional than i already was and keep bursting into tears everytime someones nice to me. Still today is another day and im going to try hard to be in control of myself. Tylers going to be fine, i just hope my feelings are right and the doctors are wrong. I guess il find out in just a few days. Im praying a lot and i think thats helping me stay focused and be positive. Bryandi - i know what you mean i was starting to think that i should head straight back to DR, it took me almost 3wks to get a scan and see a consultant here because of all the red tape, but im so glad that they are finally looking out for me. Sounds like you had some nice family plans for the 4th, hope you had a great day. Hi smmom, thanks for your thoughts. Dont worry i will keep you updated, probably tues or weds, depending on the news and what happens. Ive been told to pack a bag to take with me just in case they keep me in. I have no idea what to pack - baby things or not?? I havent even thought that far ahead. This whole thing is going a lot faster than i expected. He only weighs about 2lbs right now so what on earth could i buy him anyway?? I dont even know if hes coming next week. Anyway, im sorry about your crampyness, ive had a few sharp ones recently aswell and last night had trouble breathing during the night. I think i must be lying too flat and maybe need to start propping myself upright so as not to squash my lungs. Or could it be some kind of side effect from the steroid injection? Any thoughts? Hi Lilymommy and welcome. I think the reason they think its chromosomal is because ive never had any feelings of loosing liquid, therefore they are assuming that something the baby is doing is causing the fluid to decrease. It started at about 18wks which is another factor, as this is around when they start to produce the fluid themselves and take over from the mother. But, it dropped to 9.6 and then stabalized at 10cm for a month and then dropped to 7.6 and now its 4.8, so it hasnt been a steady decline like you would imagine if the baby was causing it due to a defect somewhere. So im not sure. Im glad to hear your daughter was fine after all that worry. A lot of people have positive stories so im just trying to focus on that, but at the same time its hard because i dont want to be in denial about it either. im trying to stay 50:50 if you know what i mean. So where is your dh from in the uk and where did you live/spend time here? Hi Erin, you sweety, of corse you are having a hard time and i remember well crying for 48hrs every af that arrived whilst i was ttc. Its so hard sometimes. And then you eventually get a bfp and a whole new worry starts. The upsets never go away i guess, at least they havent for me yet!! You will get one eventually. How many months is it since your mc and how long did it take you ttc before? Keep positive, and you do sound like a positive person and you will get there in the end. I think everyone on this thread has conceived again within 6 months of joining us so thats quite a good statistic isnt it. The counselling we get on here allways helps us feel better and they say that the least we worry the easier it is to get pg again. I wish you all the best for this month. Oh as for your question, Tyler is still kicking me - not as active as he was 2 weeks ago but they are saying thats normal because of the decreased fluid making it harder for him to wiggle around. He is in a breach position and i have a low anterior placenta another reason why i wouldnt feel him constantly like other 6month babies. I have borrowed a doppler from a friend and like this morning - if i dont feel him for a few hours i listen into his hb which is allways strong around 140 - 150ish, so that makes me feel a lot better. Judisarah, big hopefull wishes for your ttc this month and i know its your first time trying right? so i hope it goes well. Jstaley, glad you enjoyed your break, sounds like it did you some good, im sure the sickness will ease up soon, for me it was 16-17wks. All you other girls, im saying hi and il try to catch up soon. Right well its now 5am or something crazy i might try to get a few more hours. Speak soon x x ↑
I am 95% sure I am starting my second M/C. It's hard to understand all the lingo on this page. What should I do now? Try AGAIN? Or have tests completed? What tests should I ask for? My first pregnancy was as normal as they come and I have a beautiful 14 month old girl. Lost the last one in November at about 7 weeks. I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and going in for another hCG test to see if I went up or not. From all the bleeding today, I'm going to bet it's not good. Had an U/S on Thursday and they did fine a heart beat but it was only 79. I just don't get it. Am very frustrated and confused. ↑
MISSP - honey, i can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling. as i was reading your post, i wanted to cry for you b/c it's so stressful. growing up, who knew there were so many issues in having a baby. but like LILYMUMMY and many other women who have had a scare, God willing, you and Tyler will be fine. when my mom was pg w/my youngest bro the drs gave her a scare too telling her that something was wrong with him and that his head was much bigger than his body and he wasn't in proportion and what not, but God bless, today he is a 10 year old who is healthy, well-mannered and not to mention good looking (like his sister, haha). i am praying for you and tyler, babe. and i'm so happy that your dh is your rock. that's great. please continue to be as positive as you are. btw, thank you for remembering that this is the first time for us ttc after the mc. ERIN - i'm sorry about AF. cry as much as you need to, sometimes doing nothing but crying helps. i'll be praying for you as well as for MISSP. now you and i are about 4 days apart in our cycle and maybe we'll get our bfp together this month. SMMOM - glad to hear you and Carson are doing well. hope you enjoyed the 4th! KENDALYN - welcome and sorry for your 1st loss and sorry that you may be losing again. please let us know what you find out as soon as you do. good luck! everyone else, i don't think you have said much about yourselves so i'll just give a shout out to you all... JSTALEY, BRYANDI, SHANA, LEXXY, SHAB, CLAUDS, COL, LISA, SARAH. ↑
Hello ladies...Hope everyone had a good 4th !! Ours was really fun..lots of people , lots of food, and lots of fireworks. It was great !! MISSP>...I am still praying for you and Tyler. I am hoping everything will be ok. But to make you feel better, my doc even told me a couple weeks ago that most babies can survive if born at 24 weeks..... so Tyler's odds get better with every day he is inside you !!! And the steroid shots they are giving you are important for him. As for packing your bag...pack clothes to wear home, a robe, pjs, tooth brush and paste, makeup,hair stuff. I would not ack anything for Tyler yet, as he will probably be to little to go home right away. I pray everything goes well for you. KENDALYN....I am very sorry for your loss. I pray that you get better news at your doc appt. Keep in mind that babies HB just starts at 6-7 weeks, so it could be a low rate. Also...many of us on here have had heavy bleeding and are still pg with healthy babies. So there is still hope for you !!! JUDI.....how are things for you?? I hope your 4th was fun also !!! OK ladies..I have much to do today..talk to you all later !! ↑
Hello ladies, I know many of you have a long weekend so I am hoping you are getting to enjoy it. Erin, I am sorry to hear that AF showed up. I think the good thing is that you did ovulate and
af came on without the help of provera. It is a step forward in ttc. Kendalyn, I am sorry you are going through a misscarriage. It makes me sad each time someone new joins the thread because its always under such sad circumstances. But I am always glad because this, I think is the best place to find support and understanding. It helped me enormously a little less than a year ago. And it's still helps today. MissP, I cannot believe all the stress you are going through. I can't begin to imagine all the things you are thinking. I keep praying for you and Tyler. I think that he is just fine in there... He is definately a fighter! He has been fighting since the beginning. I hate the fact that doctors make you go nuts for nothing. They do this here in canada too. I will keep praying for you and your baby boy. I will also be waiting for an update from you. Sorry this is short ladies, I have been feeling very tired lately... Take good care of yourselves. I love you all. ↑
Today is cd 4 and yesterday I had a sono before I started third round of clomid. My uterus and my ovaries looked good even though my ovaries had so many small follicles (typical PCOS). But nothing that would stop me from taking another round of clomid. My largest follicle was 7mm. Believe or not, I am still waiting on the blood work that they took last Tuesday. I know that the Bhcg is neg but I wanted to know my progesterone level. I have another sono on cd 12 since I am taking clomid 100mg (same as last month) cd3-7. This cycle I am pulling out all the stops and will try aspirin 81 mg every day and robitussin 5 days before ovulation. I am even doing some research on Vitex. Has anyone taken that before?? It is suppose to naturally increase your progesterone and increasing your LH. I am going to talk to the doctor again after this cycle (if it is still BFN), and definitely ask for the IUI again. In the meantime, Allen (DH) is going to get his sperm count tested, although I know that it will be good. ↑
MISSP, thanks for the kind words! I hope that I conceive within that 6 months of being apart of this forum. How are you and Tyler doing today? Is he still dancing around?? Glad you got that Doppler. I’m sure that puts your heart to rest. Speaking of rest, are you getting any? I know that you are so stressed but I hope that you can get a little shut eye. Any luck on DH getting a job? You know that I love you girl and I will keep on praying for you and Tyler. KENDALYN, I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time. When do you get that next Bhcg? Please let us know the results. Are you still bleeding? I will be wishing you the best. JUDI, I am excited that I have some cycle buddies to keep me company. We could be like SHANA, BRYANDI, and JILL!! Except it would be JUDI, LISA, LEXXY, KATH, and I!! That would be so cool if we could go through our pregnancies together. We are only 2 cd’s apart so we can test just about the same time!! SHELLY, I’m glad that Carson is still dancing away! You always sound so busy in your post like you are always moving at a thousand miles an hour!! You are just nesting away!! How are you and Shireen doing?? Any word on that breast lump?? It is still there? LEXXY, did you take an ovulation test yet to see if all that cm was because you ovulated?? Let us know!! LISA, where are you girl?? I miss you and want to know what part of your cycle you are in!!! SHANA, where are you girl?? How is Sophia?? KATH, how are you doing? Anyone else I forgot, sorry!!! ↑
Hello Ladies....happy Sunday !!! Yesterday I got to do nothing...except clean up mess from Friday...and it was nice. Today will be the same...my only lazy weekend in a long time !!! Carson has been kina quite this weekend...maybe he liked the sound of all the fireworks !! My neighbor just found out she is pg...she has had 2 m/c's and I am pulliing for her this time around. ERIN.....I am hoping your doc will do what it takes to get you pg...that is if it doesnt happen this cycle !! Have you ever heard of Preseed....I know several women on here that have taken it and gotten pg that cycle...and are still pg !! Look into it !! I would say take that along with the aspirin. SHAB.....feeling the exhaustion during the last 6 weeks or so is so normal. The faigue comes back to haunt you in the end....I hate it. But these little ones are worth it. LEXXY, JUDI, SARAH9, CLAUDS, SHANAT,KATH, BRYANDI, KENDALYN, AND EVEN JOURDAN.....HELLO ladies...please check in so we know you are ok, and let us know what is going on. OK...I must go make muffins for the DH !!! ↑
SMMOM/SHELLY - if memory serves me, i believe i actually mentioned the same thing to ERIN a few weeks ago about preseed. i have heard great things about it. ERIN - i have not tried it, but will if i don't get pg this cycle. have you looked into it? i am guessing you probably have tried it since you have been trying to for so long. SHANA - did you announce to everyone this weekend like you initially said you were going to? or have you already announced to everyone and i just missed that post? SHAB - good to hear from you. your edd is coming up! you will seeing shireen soon. how many weeks and days are you now and when is your edd? MISSP - how are you hanging in there? did you say your next test is on tues.? JSTALEY - you back from your family vacation? how was it? LEXXY - did you test or t least tell your dr about getting frisky w/o protection, hah? LILYMUMMY - what's going on with you? KENDALYN - are you still w/us? SARAH, LISA - where you at? have we permanently lost CLAUDS, COL and CYNNABABY? anyone heard from them in any other threads? MISSH/JOURDAN - i am going to email you soon. ↑
as for me ladies... i have a HSG on tues. to find out whether the adhesion in my uterus is a big enough issue to warrant a hysteroscopy. i hope and pray not b/c that would possibly, if not probably, mean that i have wait more before ttc. i have already started the clomid (ERIN, my dr gave instructions to start on day 5, i wonder why we both have different days of starting). anyhow... i really really want to ttc this month. i know there are no guarantees that i'll get pg, but i am hopeful and at least i'll be on my way, right? please pray for me ladies! i want to find out that the adhesion will not mess w/my ttc and will not cause another mc, God willing. praying and hoping for us all! ↑
Hi girls! I am back from vacation. Boy there is alot to catch up on! I haven't had a chance to read all the posts yet, but just wanted to say hi and I hope your all doing well. I am relaxed and rested. AF showed up for me yesterday so I am excited that we will be officially ttcing again this month. I will post later when I have more time. DS wants supper.... ahhh vacation wasn't long enough! Much love to you all! Lisa ↑
Ladies! Happy Sunday, I hope everyone is doing ok - MissP, you are in my prayers, I hope you were able to get some rest. ERIN - AF showed up Friday night, so it looks like you and I are only 2 days apart on our cycles. And Lisa is a day behind me...Yay Cycle Buddies! No idea what the CM was...ovulation test was negative then AF showed up a couple days after. I told the doc about getting frisky and she said it wasn't a big deal.
SMMOM/JUDI - I used preseed the cycle that we got pregnant - I swear it did the trick, and have passed it along to 2 of my gf who are having problems conceiving. I have 2 boxes on hand to use this time around, plus I caved and bought the fertility tea that they sell..I'll try anything at this point!
Well, it's too hot to sit at this computer, but just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing.
Take care and talk soon! ↑

Hi ladies, I just wanted to put in a quick hello and let you all know I am doing ok. We had a very busy weekend and overtime was just approved at work so I will be putting in some long hours this week before I got to Illinois for training. I have to get up early, but I have a very hard time doing that. Lately I have had a hard time getting up at 6 when ds is ready to get up. Plus I still have about 15 things I want to accomplish on our bedroom and the baby's room downstairs before I leave for training. On the bright side we got our bedroom all painted put in the final pieces of our recessed lighting. We also got the floor trim cut and in place. We can't nail it down yet because I didn't get around to putting the final coat of Varnish on the trim around the doors so we need to finish that first. I am very excited about how much we have accomplished. I think we will be moving our bedroom down to the basement soon! Dh is going to work on the baby's room as much as he can while I am gone. We haven't picked out a paint color for that room yet because we are waiting to find out what we are having. Kendalyn, sorry to hear you think you are going thru another
m/c. I hope that it is not true. There have been many ladies on here
that have had bleeding and still gone on in their pregnancy's. Maybe you will
be another one. Let us know what you find out when you get the results back from your
hcg test. Shab, great to hear from you again. glad your hanging in there. I bet you are
exhausted. Hang in there. Won't be long before Shireen comes out to play! Erin, good luck this cycle.
It sounds like you have your plan of attack in line! Judi, I will be looking for your test results! I am also
hoping that there is nothing in there that prevents you from ttc this month! Lisa, good luck this cycle! There
are a lot of you right close together this cycle! Maybe we will have a four day run of due dates similiar to Jstay Shana and I.
Lexxy good luck this cycle! The days clomid is prescribed mostly depends on the dr. and what he/she has had success with and prefers and
also has to do with your background and why they are giving it to you. Smmom how exciting! A new big girl bed and dresser! I have already started
trying to think about what we are going to do for Rory when the baby comes. We need to get him a dresser so we can move the "baby dresser" into the babies room.
Allright ladies I am pooped! Off to bed for me! ↑
Ladies, cd 5 for me and will be my third day of clomid. I just ordered my preseed and vitex. I am going to take everything I can that will help this time around. JUDI, LISA, LEXXY, and I are cycle buddies!!!! I am so excited. This has to be good luck to have so many on the same cycle. Judi is cd7. I am cd5. Lexxy is cd4. Lisa is cd 3. We are all so close!! I am so stocked up this round with opt and hpt. BRYANDI, sorry for all the long hours. JUDI, Bryandi is right. Every dr likes to prescribe it differently. It can either be taken cd3-7, cd4-8, or cd5-9. I have not read any research that has shown that makes a huge difference. What doses are you on?? I’m on 100mg. SHELLY that is so great that dd got her own big bed and dresser! ↑
Hi guys sorry I have been missing in action, my computer is wrecked from a damn virus and needs replacing. ERIN I take Vitex, I have since before my daughter was born. I fully believe in it, I have conceived 3 times very very quickly using it (the first was Lily) ..now if only I could hang on to another pregnancy I would be fine!! Please take it, and B6 is also very good but you do need to take it in conjuction with the other B vitamins. I have been doing a lot of reading about miscarriage and I want to know (to those ladies who tracked ovulation) what day cycle did you ovulate on? Because time and again I am coming across experts saying the the time you ovulate in your cycle is significant as to whether you miscarry or not. I mentioned it to my "specialist" and he said he did not believe that at all. But, I'm curious. Please let me know ladies. ↑
Lily, I have very regular cycles and ovulate around cd12-14. I lost 1 and now im praying i hang on to Shireen for another 5 weeks till my edd on August 17. DH and I actually went to the hospital tour yesterday. It was interesting... Some of the information was very relavant and other is pretty much common sense. It's kinda scary how much they anticipate that you will bleed... They are planning on putting one of those bed pads and 2 sanitary pads in our underwear after we give birth. That can absorb enough blood to be the equivalent of all the blood i have in my body so its kinda freaky... I am sure they put that much as a precaution, since some women bleed more than other. It just kinda scared me a bit... I've been having cramps like i get when AF is about to show... They are pretty random but it still makes me wonder whether the time is coming sooner rather than later. I am at 34w1d, so another 5w6d to go... or something like that! I am getting very big and tired... I really dont sleep too well and my sciatic nerves are pinched on a semi permanent basis... OUCH!! I am really looking forward to finishing my classes at the end of this week. Then it's just a question of studying, and passing my july 19 exam... Speaking of class, I should probably be listening to the teacher right now. I will check in a little later (hopefully) Take care ladies. ↑
hi!!! i can't believe ERIN, LISA, LEXXY and I are so close in our cycles! correct if me if i am worng, but i think CYNNABABY first conceived (1), then SHELLY/SMMOM and SHAB conceived around the same time (2 at a time), then BRYANDI, SHANA and was it JSTALEY or SARAH who conceived around the same time (3 at a time) and now maybe the 4 of us will conceive around the same time and not only be cycle buddies, but also pg buddies! God willing. i am so excited, even though i still have that test tomorrow to see if it's all good to go. ERIN - dr gave me 50mg i am guessing b/c it's the first round of clomid for me. btw, i am not an expert, but i have read in some places (possibly inaccurate) that taking clomid and vitex together doesn't work. i could be totally wrong, but i want you to look into it please! SMMOM - that's awesome that dd got her new "big girl" room. is she excited? BRYANDI - i hope you can find some time to relax, sounds like a lot of work and stress. props to you. SHABNAM - wow, 5 weeks and 6 days left! are you still preparing or done and ready and now just waiting for Shireen? LILYMUMMY - i don't really know when i ovulate, but i think i ovulated late when i got pg b/c we did the deed a few days before AF and next thing i knew, i was pg. i have not heard about the time of ovulation having an affect (effect?) on m/c, but i have heard it can make a difference to actually conceiving. but i don't know enough, so don't listen to me, hah. LEXXY - i have not tried preseed even though i have heard of it and i am not sure whether i should just try this time (if allowed after my test) w/o it or just get it. maybe i should just get it so i have exhausted all options in trying to conceive and hopefully get impregnated this month with you and the other 2 ladies who are basically in the same cycle as us. JSTALEY - are you back yet? how was the parade? MISSP - good luck on your test. i am praying for you, hon. SARAH - hope youa re doing well, check in to let us know how you are. SHANA - where are you? you used to write such long posts and now you've disappeared! come back! CLAUDS, COL, DESTINY, KENDALYN and anyone else i may have missed - are you still around? ↑
Hi girls, just quickly saying hi before my appointment tomorrow, have been feeling very ill since i had the steroid shots and just want to sleep all the time. Not sure if its normal, but its making me feel sick and weak. Tyler is still moving plenty and my bump is feeling very tight and uncomfortable. Apparantly thats normal when theres little or no fluid. I feel like my body is being squeezed constantly and i cant breathe. Im getting a bag ready for tomorrow, thanks smmom for what to pack. Somebody kindly bought me a premmie babygro yesterday for a 3lb baby, honestly its scary enough just to see the babygro. I cant believe he may be wearing it tomorrow night. It just dosnt feel real. Im really scared. Its all happening too fast and i havent got my head around it. Im just praying that they say hes fine and he can stay inside for a few more weeks. I just want to say thanks so much for the thoughts, all of you, and i love you all and il try to post again soon and hopefully everything will be fine and il be posting some good news. By the way judi - you forgot me and clauds conceived the same cycle too, the month after smmom and shabnam, even tho she seems to have gone awol the last few months, but still, we had a good run, every month someone fell or 2 or 3 girls at the same time. This is a lucky thread, despite some bad experiences and some hard times, and we keep getting good news, so hopefully mine will be positive too. Take care everyone x x ↑
