Glad to be part of the group... :)
Not sure if Sazy wants to be included, but she'd be waiting for first AF following m/c as well.
Dani- I think mapes is at 8 weeks. We sure did roll through that other thread!
The poll around my house is that I'm pregnant. They are kind of biased though...lol I told DH they need to come up with a finger ***** test to do at home and test HCG! I can't stand this waiting ;-P
SSBD all around.
Someday we will have to request of Med Help to add to their acronym list NECOT (for the newbies - Never Ending Cycle of Torture). I have a feeling I will be using that alot this month. This is my last full cycle before the RE appt. The pressure is on!
NECOT for sure Bam! i OPK'd again today. still a faint test line. I cant wait for it to get darker. I said to DH after i tested that I wish it was a HPT so it would be a BFP.
I am now CD7. Its so nice to actually have a CD for sure!
mapes- sorry 8 weeks, I knew that, I just had so much info trying to remember everyones cycle...which is really funny in itself that i knew so many off hand!!!
Bam-yeah, I think so many of us totally can relate to this NECOT. I am having bad weird cramps, out of all my "symptoms" in the past this is a first. More worried that something may be going on down there or in there that is causing it so hard to conceive. Just doesn't feel like something normal...??? It feels like when I was younger and couldn't use a tampon cause of the pain in my very lower abdomen...pads are really great for an athlete LOL! Who knows though, trying not to think too much of ANYTHING anymore!
Nunu-where have you been all day??
peterjl- Welcome. my cycles have been 34 or 35 days since my m/c...Which if I wasn't ttc would be great! I hope that yours works out soon. We're all here to support you!
CacyMichelle- I hope you get to feeling better. I haven't been feeling too great lately myself. My kids have all got their first sickness of the winter already! It seems like everyone around here is sick.
bam...thabk the good Lord you and nunu dont charge for all your info....id be broke!! i teach highschool......love it......thats why i have a yearning to know every freakn detail....lol
pips....welcome......how long since you mc? sorry for your loss!!! af will come....and youll be sooooooooo excited to she her...about the only time....mine came 34 days after last day of bleeding from mc...
steph..when are you testing again????
dani....thank you for starting new thread....we have formed a serious bellypack here!!!!
peter...u are welcome to keep us posted about anything!!!
i am 2dpo......feel normal as anyday.....although what i found interesting is i took notes last month on each day.......starting at 1dpo.....its cool to compare......
Happy Thursday!
Dani, I agree I notice every single little twinge and wondering what the heck is going on. I'm sorry you are in pain. None of mine is too painful, just noticable. I know it's been around 6 months since your m/c :( but how long did you ttc before getting pg? I'm so nervous and excited about my RE appt, it's only a month away now.
Guess I've got a wait ahead of me for AF... :(
Thanks to all of you ... so very welcoming to the newbies!!!
steph...tomorrow's Friday...
Bam-tried for two years, but I say that lightly because I had NO idea about ovulation and how hard it was to get preg...it amazes me how much I have learned and how ignorant I was about the whole fertility thing before all this.
GMB- I am the type as well that feels like when I am intersest or invested in something I need to know everything about it! Just the basics won't do for me...which is why I think sometimes I get confused, because I read so much, even the chemistry part of it all...and I really didn't do well in college in those type of classes!!
armyprincess-can't wait for the 18th for you!!! Don't you wish they could just give you a daily update, hearbeat reading and U/S for the whole 9 months!!!
...well I woke up today and the weird cramps are gone so far...it is way too early for implantation type cramps, it actually feels like I did after having the "abortion" (for all of you who don't know, I had to abort becasue my baby would never make it the whole term, but for some reason it could have taken months to m/c and I would just get bigger and bigger with a baby that would never live:( ) I hate saying abortion, it makes it sound like I didn't want the baby, when I would have given my own life to have it!
SSSBD to all!!!
Could you also please add me onto the tcc thread. Am not sure exactly where I am at the moment. Had a second m/c on 10/18, HPT still testing positive but since yesterday I`ve been feeling like AF is coming.
but welcome and let us know if she shows up.
Bam, it does make it so easier when you feel the expected parents are so deserving. I know that when one of you ladies get your BFP I will be so happy for you, of course a little jelous like when will it be my time, but genuine happy and thrilled. it makes all the difference if they will be good parents, as apposed to all those people having children that you know isn't right!
So we are just about in the same boat with the preg thing! i am not going to the Drs to find out if there is a reason for at least a year, so many of my "real life" friends did that and there was nothing wrong, but they spent their fair share of time on these type forums...I just have so many dr. bills from the last one I am finally paying off...specialists are expensive and where my Dr was was expensive, my first blood work was $575...Jackson Hole, WY is one of the most expensive towns though. DH doesn't want our child born a "Spud" here in Idaho, so would rather pay the extra $ to have it in WY...
Maybe we will be living in CO for the next though :) Wish we could get insurance, but being self employed it is impossible to get maternity!! Every place I called said "good luck trying to find that!"
kgokgo - welcome! Let's hope we celebrate your AF soon :)
and armyprincess...CONGRATULATIONS....such wonderful wonderful news!!!! here's to a great 9 months!!
At the rate we are going, we'll need to start a new thread soon . . .
For example, latrice has come back to us, she was one of the ladies that was so supportive and helpful to me when first came here, when she left for a while i assumed she got her BFP and moved on, but I see she was taking a break and was so happy she came back. I personally have no intentions of leaving here for good IF and WHEN i ever get my BFP
ALSO, Nunu tried to start a TTC after m/c forum, since it is totally diff. being preg after a m/c or loss than a first time pregnancy. They responded by saying that they didn't want to start one because this one is doing so well. I also have noticed that there are alot of forums like "baby dust" that just doesn't have that many people in it, let alone a close group like this.
Finally, I guess I just have alot to say about this because I keep feeling left in the dust by ladies that get there BFP, and never even get to know what is going on with them. I appreciate you more than you realize being here for us and still helping even though you dont have to!!! We need ladies like you to remember there is hope!!!! You can tell them that, whoever said that to you...yes we are grieving, or past grieving, but our cycle buddies group is a little different since we are all moving on and TTC with fears and hopes that others don't have. This group is special to me and I would hate to get on here and not see your name or read your wonderful advice!!! If you can, send this over to that forum and let people realize that grieving isn't the only thing we deal with after a m/c. The friends we develop here are special, and leaving us would only cause more hurt and loss for us!!!
Well, I think we have established that mapes is here to stay, and so are all of us, as well as welcoming with open arms all the new people we could ever handle!!
mapes, I lauged when you said we were the first ones you told about your BFP...I was JUST in the shower thinking when I got my BFP, I think I would probbly first run to my computer to tell you all, THAN tell DH...that is funny!!!
ok Mapes... you are the first one to get a BFP since I joined this forum and I am so happy for you! I want to know whats going on with your whole pregnancy and this is really the only forum I go on so you DON'T have my permission to leave us... got it! ;-) not once have I felt like you have rubbed it in my face that you got your BFP. you still have advice to give to those that are new on here and dont know your story. you have been thorough a M/C as well and are still morning the loss of your baby. im sure you also have fears with this pregnancy that eventually anyone on here that gets a BFP will have also. you are my friend and a fried to many others on here and we would never abandon a friend and I am sure you feel the same way!
ok now for peterjl- I didnt have a cycle day for until 8 days ago. it took 8 weeks to get AF because of complications from my D&C. so dont worry... just go with how many days from your M/C until AF finally shows up... hopefull soon. I was soooo happy when mine came!
Dani- I am glad your cramps have left. I am sill having mild pain in my lower abdomen. not bad... but there all the same.
Bam- are you OPK'ing yet? I will do my third in about an hour. I know i started too soon but oh well... what is a POAS addict going to do????? lol
Amyprinces- congrats. keep us informed.
mrsmurphy- welcome. you are a little ahead of me in CD. im CD8 and dying to use my pre-seed (thanks you Dani for bringing that up!!!)
Kgokgo the UK ay? im from New Zealand but live in Florida. what part from the UK are you from? i visited London New Years about 6 years ago.
GMB- cyber mom2B cracks me up! Im the same.. if i want to learn about something i have to know everything. but im the same as Dani.. sometimes the internet gives too much info and is confusing especially when its controversial.
cacymichelle- im a day late but congrats on AF arriving. CD2 now
and Latrice- how do you have the will power not to POAS? you are my hero for sure and I hope you can be there for me when im getting closer the arrival of my next AF!
ok did i get everyone.... wow i got to remember to click on the "add to watch list" so I dont get behind on all this interesting stuff.
Mapes I was just thinking that must be getting close to another U/S. when do you go for another one?
oh and Mapes- I notice the difference with the EPO already! I cant wait to see what its like at O time!
More welcomes to the new people. Like I said, (although sad that we are here to begin with) I think it's great that more people want to join on the cycle tracking. That way everyone can have a buddy and the odds certainly increase for a BFP!
Welcome to mrsmurphy, kgokgo, and nickwife...You couldn't ask to be in a better place!
kgokgo- are you still having your surgery this month?
Nunu: my m/c was in june. I started ttc in august and i spent so much money on hpt and opks (i bouth frer and at least 10 dollar tree test so i coulld poas 2dpo lol obsessive i no) and i did that for september also. Then i realized hey, calm down and lets try not to be so obsessive, since there is only a 20-30% chance of getting preggo each cycle for women and thats not a big chance, i told myself i would only test if AF is late, and i would only by one box of test if i do buy any, unless they are on sale. Like 2 weeks ago i was in walgreens and they had the opk(walgreen brand) which is 20 bucks for 7 test on a rack that said 10 bucks, so i grabbed 2 of them, come to find out they were not on sale but she gave them to me for that price bcuz someone mistakenly but all of them there lol. so i got 2 for the price of one lol.
I am 12DPO AF is due 2mrw and i am cramping somthing terrible as i type. I told DF that i will be ovulating on the 29th and we need to be a little more busy with the bd'n from the 26th threw 3rd of december. I thought i would be able not to tell him, but at least this way he knows i will be fertile those days and me not saying hey, the stick says we should bd come on lol.
Dani: Just try not so hard to analize every symptom, bcuz it can drive you crazy, when i was posting on another thread of women ttc. Of course we would analize every little thing, then one day i started keeping track of my symptoms for a whole month, and come to find out, i get sore boobs, cramps, twinges and back aches after ovulation. and b4 af, i get more intense cramps and still the sore boobs, if i didnt no any better i thought i would be preggo. Its easier said then done i no. But ttc is not easy and it does not always happen so soon. I like to use this saying, "The only symptoms im having is the symptoms I think im having" I would always post that in the 2ww, bcuz the 2ww will make you delusional and halucinate(which is normal bcuz we want something so bad)
Bam: glad i made you smile at your desk, it is amazing of what we dont no.
Just wanted to say welcome to the new people and sorry for any losses that you may have had.
Your right about Leighanne, I was so happy she is finally having her healthy baby so far, she was one of the ladies that really helped me and so desreved it. I wish she still posted here more often so I can see how she is doing!!
Bam-I too am on here all the time, and when I am away I find I think about what you all are doing, and what i am missing and if there is any new news!!
I too tracked my "symptoms" last month and realized that they are always the same. Although there are a few questions I've come up with for my RE appt.
Dani, if I could just get off of MH, then maybe I could get my farm set up - LOL.
PS. LETS KEEP ADDING TO THE THREAD!!!!!!!! SSBD TO US ALL......(Thanks Mapes for telling me what ssbd means now I don't have to type so much. Ha LOL!
Steph
Yes, I`m still going ahead with the surgery, thanx for asking. I want this problem delt with before I tcc again coz its such a nuisance. I `ve organised to have my graduation photo taken a day before the surgery so that I won`t feel like I missed out on the graduation.
I have been talking with some of you over the past month and i hope to get to know those of you who i haven't already come into contact with.
I'm 7DPO at the moment and really hoping and praying this time around!!!
My history for those who don't know me:
Pregnant = April
Miscarriage = June
D&C = July
Began acupuncture and chinese medicine = September (which is beginning to regluate my cycles)
Diagnosed with PCOS = October
Started Metformin last Wednesday
Got my first postive OPK last Wednesday too!
Expect BFP or AF next friday.
I have had years of irregular cycles, temps, cm etc so it has been difficult pin pointing ovulation. My last cycle was 77 days long and gyno believes i did not ovulate!
I am so happy and positive because this cycle i have actually seen a pattern it my temps and cm and it is clear that i have ovulated! So wether I get BFP or AF next friday, i will happy to have my cycles beginning to regulate so i can have more chance of becoming pregnant!
I send well wishes, good luck and baby dust to everyone :0)
Kgokgo- the family that came to New Zealand from over there had like 12 kids. a few from that family ended up here in the states. DH has a friend with of a guy with the last name Udy and ive been asking him to ask his friend if he knows any family that came from Cornwall. It would be funny if somewhere along the line we were related and i ended up marrying his friend that grew up on the other side of the world from me. What a small world I say!
