**BFP warning after QOTW**

Welcome to TTC After Loss. I'm so sorry for your loss but am happy you have found us. ((hugs)) This board is full of brilliant and kind women who have experienced the hardship of losing that which is most precious, and I hope you find great comfort and support here in your journey!

For those of you so new that you don't know the routine, this is a check-in for newer members of the TTCAL Board. Please feel free to use this space to ask those "newbie" questions that feel intimidating to ask on the main board and I will try my best to get you an answer.

**Please don't feel that you have to provide individual feedback to all of the posters ahead of you. Many do and it's great, but it's most definitely not required to be a part of this check-in. I'd just hate to think people might feel intimidated and not post because of this. All posts and responses are welcomed!**

Please take the time to read the TTCAL blog to answer any questions you may have regarding our board etiquette, TTC, miscarriage & loss, and much more: https://ttcalblog.wordpress.com/ If you are a check-in regular and get a BFP, please PM me so that I can add it to the weekly check-in with a warning for other members. If I don't get a PM, I will not mention your BFP on the check-in.

Finally, if you haven't done so, please post your introduction on the main board including your story.

***If you do not see your name, it’s because you didn’t check in last week, just join in this week and I’ll add you!***

I'm not so much nervous for my move as I am just ready to gtfo of here. I hate this place, and I'm becoming more and more resentful of it every day.

I have my follow up appointment tomorrow. I had the D&C two weeks ago Thursday. I'm hoping there was enough tissue for genetic testing, but my doctor didn't seem hopeful that there would be. I'll update tomorrow.

I'm glad you're excited to move. That' makes it fun But I'm sorry that you hate where you live currently! FX your follow up goes well.

negritosmami

hey ladies and hey to you @rslh10...as always, thanks for posting.

@ldubhawksfan and @powerofbaconi hope this is the cycle for both of you!!!fx

@rslh im not sure if you already spoke about this and i missed it but how was your bday? hope you had a great one.

AFM, I am not temping yet...ill give it one more cycle and then ill start with temping (Im so scared that im going to drive both myself and my hubby crazy with this temping thing but we shall see) anyways just ended what im GUESSING was my FW.. we DTD a few times...i tried my damn hardest not to think about the pregnancy im desperate for while we did..that was a fail....i wonder when ill ever be able to just truly relax and enjoy it!!smh...so now we shall see what happens..

anyways my fave breakfast food is probably chick fila breakfast!!!love it!!

 

 

mkfish31

Hey @rslh10! How's everything with you going? Sorry AF is here. I'm glad temping will give me some more insight to what's going on.  I'm on CD10.  Hoping everyone has a nice Tuesday!

QOTW: Love breakfast food. Pancakes are my favorite.

Cheetara2

Hi Ladies, 

((Hugs)) to those who need it. Been a little busy over the past couple weeks. Currently in the 2ww which is drawing near. 

QOTW: Stuffed french toast with hash browns, scrambled cheese eggs, and turkey bacon. 

ctk181

@rslh10 - Thanks for the check-in! How are you this week?

@imakeeff0rts - Glad you are moving! I hope you like your new place a lot more!

@PowerofBacon - Glad your pup is doing well. Hope your 2WW flies by!

@LDubHawksFan - Your chart looks great and it does look like you had great timing! FX for you!

@negritosmami - Temping can definitely make you crazy, but I actually really love it now because I feel like I have so much more knowledge about what is happening with my body. FX for you this cycle!

@readinglove - Hope the next few days fly by! FX for you when you decide to test!

AFM, just waiting for AF. I was worried because FF showed me having a pretty short LP last cycle, but I was hoping it was just because it was my first post-loss cycle. I'm pretty happy now because I am 11dpo and no AF today and temps still pretty high, so I think I'm going to have at least a 12 day LP. Yay! And to answer @rslh10's question, yes! I'm super excited to start TTC again but also really scared. I had a consultation with a new OB yesterday - which I already posted about in a separate thread so I won't repeat it all - but it was great and I really, really liked him and I feel great about his plan if I do get a BFP. So that is helping me feel a little less scared. The only thing I am waiting for now is the result of my rubella immunity test. If for some reason that comes back negative, I need to get vaccinated and then it is a 3 month wait before we can TTC. So FX that I still have my immunity! Hope all you ladies have a fabulous week!

ETA: QOTW - I LOVE breakfast food of all kind, but if I had to pick a fave it would be either stuffed french toast or quiche!

negritosmami

@readinglove right!!its very hard..and trying to have fun sometimes is hard too!i had to literally talk to myself during it and say SELF!!!RELAX!!!FOCUS!!!DONT WORRY ABOUT HOW THIS ENDS!!!FOCUS!!! loool having to talk yourself into enjoying sex...fun times

@ctk181 i understand exactly what you mean. However, i have even said before about this group, Its the gift AND the curse as it relates to it being filled with so much knowledge. Since i have joined i have learned so much that i can no longer be deliriously ignorant (ie pre this group..id swear i was already pregnant and experiencing symptoms because we had sex yesterday!!!lmao) I picture temping to be the same. At this point, i have no knowledge of whether i ovulated. So i just assume i do and i dont worry!!once i know!!!omg!!!im scared!!but yea eventually ill do it!!

nikiswimr

@imakeeff0rts‌ good luck with the move. We just moved cross country in July and I know how much work that is!

@rslh10‌ thanks for adding me to the check-in.

Physically I'm doing better, still spotting but glad the ultrasound showed everything else had passed. Emotionally it still sucks. After my first AF I'm going to meet w the RE to talk about the next step. I'd like to start something as soon as possible. He said we can start trying again after my first AF but I don't know what the plan will be as it's very unlikely to happen without a medical assist. He had wanted me to go straight to IUI instead of Clomid + TI but I had wanted to try this first. So, who knows?

@crimpgirl‌ hope AF comes soon (so unusual in the TTC world to be wishing that)

@Cheetara2‌ @PowerOfBacon‌ @LDubHawksFan‌ good luck with the TWW!

foodie12rn

@rslh10‌, thanks for the check in!

Sorry for not responding to everyone else who posted, but BIG ((hugs)) to everyone who needs them.

I'm actually doing a lot better this week. I stopped spotting a couple of days ago and I'm waiting for my f/u appt next Wednesday with my OB. I haven't really started temping yet, but today is CD 10 and I'm hoping that maybe I will still catch my "O" if I start tomorrow. DH and I haven't had sex quite yet, but I'm about ready to get back on the horse!

Fx for everyone waiting to test!!!

QOTW- I'm pretty obsessed with breakfast foods. I LOVE pancakes with butter and REAL maple syrup. It can't be that fake shit.

natalie115

@rslh10‌ thanks for the check in!

I have no idea WTF is going on. On Sunday I woke up at 5 (usually test at 6:15) fell back asleep the. Woke up at 5:50 and got out of bed w/o temping so I discarded that temp. This morning when I went to read my temp (using the memory) my thermometer got switched to Celsius and by the time I realized what I was seeing the number disappeared and I have no idea what it was. I've been doing OPKs this week. Question with them though....after ovulation do they have no second line or can there still be a faint second line?

ctk181

LDubHawksFan said:

@natalie115‌ I always have a faint second line.

Same here.

ETA: Typo

natalie115

@LDubHawksFan‌ & @ctk181‌ thanks! I've had a faint second line the last 2 days so I was wondering if that meant I hadn't ovulated for sure or if it can still have a second line.

ctk181

I had trouble with OPKs at first too (just started using them last cycle), but I found that when you have a positive you will know. The second line should be just as dark as the control line (or at least pretty darn close). I always have a faint second line but it did start to get darker as I got closer to O and then I had a clear positive (where the second line was just as dark as the control) 2 days in a row. Then back to faint second line again. Hope that helps.

natalie115

@ctk181‌ I did have a positive OPK last week, but then had a weird temp drop so I figured I hadn't actually O'd now I'm all over the place with temps LOL

saritacw

Yes -- I did another Beta draw last Friday and got the numbers back yesterday. I'm back in the zero range (yipeee!) so now my body can start doin' it's thing again.

I began taking the large handful of supplements again recommended by my doctor to prepare for pregnancy and now I just wait for AF to start back up again -- It should be in the next 2 weeks or else I'll go back to my doc and get a recommendation for how to proceed. Assuming I get back to normal cycles in the time frame expected, I should be able to try to get pregnant again around Christmas. So I guess I'm in the officially benched phase.

I may drop off this checkin while benched as I don't think I'll have anything to report. Thank you for the support the last few weeks. It really helped me get through the scary, unknown phase.

I"m in the very same boat. My doc recommended IUI to start but I wanted to do Femara and TI first, and it worked....but then didn't. Sucks, hu? I"m now in the "waitin a cycles before trying again" phase.

imakeeff0rts  good luck with your move and your follow up appointment.

@cheetara2
Good luck in the TWW

I go back for another beta tomorrow.  It should be at 0 since it was so low last week.   I feel back to myself physically finally and I have a headache and am crampy so I'm hoping it's AF getting ready to finally come.

jms627

@rshl10 - Thanks for the check in!

Last week was sort of a bad week for me.  I've really been struggling lately with my anxiety and depression.  I thought I was handling everything well, and I don't know if the miscarriage coupled with planning a wedding (that really I just want to be here and done so I can try again) exacerbated it, but I basically was a wreck all last week and just holed myself up in my room after work.  I've decided I needed to get back on some medication and I'm hoping that helps.  I think I sort of need to step back from the board (not just the board, social media and the internet in general) because I'm definitely obsessing about things.  I'll still be lurking and checking in for sure, and commenting when I can, but I may not be quite as active for a bit.  We'll see! 

Hope everyone's doing well. Good luck for the ladies in the TWW!

nikiswimr

@saritacw it does suck (I'm sorry by the way to meet up again on this side of things). On one hand I think it worked so maybe try again w meds/TI +\- trigger before going on, but I have no idea why I lost the baby. And bc I ended up miscarrying w Cytotec we didn't send for genetics, etc. So, we'll never know. My prog sucked but I was on supplements. So part of me just wants to do whatever he recommends.

@crimpgirl‌ I didn't get my first AF until I was 16 and I was dying for it to start at the time!

Edit: because I suck at typing on mobile.

PowerOfBacon said:

Hi @rslh10!!  I'm enjoying a nice day off right now as a s result of me drinking way too much red wine last night.  I'm feeling much better now, I just apparently needed more sleep.  I'm going to have an awesome greasy breakfast and play video games all day, I think.

I can never figure out how to link my chart in my siggy, so here's a link to it:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/454fea.  I Oed on Thursday, and the current plan is to test at 10DPO on Sunday.  I usually test early, only because I need to switch from coumadin to lovenox as soon as possible if it is positive!  So I'm back in the TWW for the first time in months, and I hate the crazies that go along with it.

Pup is doing great as well!  He got his stitches out yesterday, and was absolutely wonderful for the car ride and that process.  He is snuggled in with me right now, and I think he is definitely going to enjoy this day.

QOTW - Favorite breakfast?  I love all things breakfast.  If I could do breakfast for dinner more often, I totally would.  If I had to pick my ultimate favorite though, there is a place close by that does these crazy pancakes (I think they have like 40 different types on the menu), and they do a cinnamon sugar dusted pancake with sliced apples inside and pureed raspberry syrup over the top.  So good.

I'm so glad your pup is doing well! I have my fx for you till Sunday. ((hugs))

Hi @rslh10‌!! @PowerOfBacon‌ we are O twins!! Yep, I O'd on Thursday and feel really good about it. We hit it for 4 days straight, so our timing is great. I told DH that I'm a little excited but trying not to let myself get too optimistic. It's not like we never had good timing those other 10 months! I guess there is a crazy part of me thinking, well maybe now that I have a super clean ute it will happen faster?! Totally irrational! Ha. I am going to try to hold out on testing until 15 dpo because I think seeing negative tests will still bother me. QOTW: I really love me some good French toast!! When places make it with Hawaiian bread, it's extra yummy!

haha! super clean ute made me laugh! FX for you, as always! ((hugs))

I have my fx that you find a way to enjoy your ttc journey! It does get stressful, but that's when I stop and remember how I have to take care of myself and DH during this time too. ((hugs)) And thank you for asking about my b-day, it was a great day:)

Cd 10 isn't too shabby a place to be ttc-wise! Fx for you this cycle, Lady ((hugs))

readinglove said:

Thanks for the check-in @rslh10! How are you this week?

*snip*

AFM, I'm doing okay! Trying to hold out until Thursday to test. I was panicked yesterday because my temp took a nose-dive, but it rebounded today. I'm thinking it's my thermometer (new one should arrive today!). I was worried about my LP continuing to shorten, but I'm on CD 11, so I'm loving that. Just over here, twiddling my thumbs...is it Thursday yet?

QOTW: Oh goodness. I love ALL of the breakfast foods! I'd have to say, french toast is probably my favorite though. Nothing beats breakfast for dinner nights!

I have been stalking you! I have my fx for you. I don't know if anyone has told you or not, but don't switch thermometers during this cycle. This is what I've been told by about 4 super smart ladies here, so PERSONALLY I would wait until next cycle to use your new one. ((hugs))

@rslh10‌ thanks for asking doing good this week! Work is starting to get back on track. We've had a good thanksgiving and we're able to come up and see my sister. She's been doing well, it's been a good visit. Hoping af comes any day now, mc started just around a month ago. I'm trying not to look at the calendar and just relax How are you lady?

I'm glad you had a good holiday. I always like seeing my sister too I'm well thank you for asking! Just been super busy the past few days, so I apologize for not responding earlier! ((hugs))

I'm so happy to hear your US was clear. That's great news. I am sorry you're feeling crappy emotionally though. That "gets better" with time, if you want to say that...but it's still very hard. You will have good days and bad days. I know that I still have sad ones (today being one!) I understand. so many ((hugs))! I have my fx that af shows sooner rather than later for you and you can get the ball rolling with the RE.

Glad to hear you stopped spotting! I hope your appt goes well next wedensday. Have you been cleared to TTC--Is that why you're hoping to catch your O, or are you just saying that so you know your body is back to "normal"? If you haven't been cleared to ttc after this loss, then please please please don't rush it and not listen to you dr! It's very important for your body to recover, and for you, too! I'm not assuming you're going against your dr.'s orders, I am just looking out for you

I hate when my thermometer screws up! It just makes you feel so incomplete for the day if you don't have that temp (haha this is how I feel anyway!). I am glad to see others have answered your question about the opks, and I agree with what they said to you. I have a faint line after O. Did you get any +opks yet?

SO MANY ((HUGS))!! I am so sorry you're feeling this way. I truly hope that you can do what is right for you, and that you start to feel better. We are here if you want to stick around the check-in...I'll keep you on it for next week too It gave me something to look forward to when I felt super super down. More hugs!!!!

My incision last night was driving me batty. It was itching SSSOOO MUCH!!!! I did two vitamin E rubs and ended up just icing it to calm the itch down. I really hope this isn't a recurring thing.

Right now while I can't sleep I am working on crafts for Christmas and trying to get back into some kind of normal routine. 

I am down to 171!!! I have to go back in Monday to get more blood drawn, but this takes so much stress off of me. I was really worried I would have to have another procedure. Today is the first day I haven't had a huge headache or migraine.

We have not made any plans for the hotel trip. We know it will be in November but we are hoping to get it close to ovulation time. Especially since right now is a trial and error sort of deal in the bed room 

">

Ugh itchy incision sites are the worst! I had my gall bladder removed and mine still itches! I hope that calms down for you. Glad to hear your #'s are dropping like they want. Let us know about that hotel trip! I'm jealous

@rslh10‌ thanks for the check-in! I'm mobile bumping so can't comment in depth. My trip was fun! Did a lot of things with my mom but spotting early (8dpo) while on progesterone and after a trigger shot reeeeeally sucked. My doc had another plan of attack she will go over with me at our next appt. Sending love and hugs to all who need them!

Are you still in your TWW or have you gotten AF? I am so glad you had a good time! ((hugs))

CrazyCupcake52

Hi ladies!

This is my first check-in. I have been getting blood work done EOD to watch betas fall for a little over a week and my Monday draw was finally considered negative. Also, had an u/s done and everything is looking normal. Doc gave us the ok to TTC again right away and we made a plan for closer monitoring during the early weeks next time.

QOTW - Chocolate chip pancakes are my go-to at home.  If we go out, I like to get stuffed brioche muffins, eggs benedict, or quiche.

ctk181

UPDATE:

My doc's office just called and I definitely have immunity to rubella! Yay! Also, I started having cramps this morning, so I think AF is ready to make an appearance. I'm preparing the gasoline for the bench burning!

@rslh10‌ thanks for the check in. I'm a tad late on it, work is a little crazy. No AF yet but I'm guessing she'll be here any day now because I'm feeling like a super bitch lately. So I really hope it's AF coming so I have an excuse, haha. I know I might have a bit of a wait though, it's only been 30 days since MC. Took some HPTs just for the hell of it, and suprise, I got nothing going on. I'm pretty sure I haven't ovulated but I don't think I'm a pro at OPKs either. If I dont limit my fluids and don't hold my urine before testing will I get a false negative when the tests should indicate a positive? When I got pregnant in August it was my first time using OPKs and I never got a true positive, they just got darker and then got lighter but never as dark as the control line. Blah, blah, blah I could go on forever. Come on AF lets get this next cycle started. I love breakfast sausage and chocolate chip pancakes. I think I just may make some pancakes for dinner. I hope all you ladies are doing well and are in good spirits.

Hi ladies!

This is my first check-in. I have been getting blood work done EOD to watch betas fall for a little over a week and my Monday draw was finally considered negative. Also, had an u/s done and everything is looking normal. Doc gave us the ok to TTC again right away and we made a plan for closer monitoring during the early weeks next time.

QOTW - Chocolate chip pancakes are my go-to at home.  If we go out, I like to get stuffed brioche muffins, eggs benedict, or quiche.

Welcome to the check in. So sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear your betas are back to negative, and that you've been given the green light to TTC again! I will add you to the check in for next week ((hugs))

UPDATE:

My doc's office just called and I definitely have immunity to rubella! Yay! Also, I started having cramps this morning, so I think AF is ready to make an appearance. I'm preparing the gasoline for the bench burning!

 BRING ON THE BENCH BURNING!
