••TTCAL Newb Check-in 12/8/14•• (NEW POSTING DAY)

rslh10

Hi Ladies!

I have a few important announcements this week. I will announce them here so everyone sees them, and I will also add them into the standard template for every week postings (or until I’m notified of a change).

• The Newb Check in will now be posted on every Monday. You will have up to 48 hours to respond to the check in.  This time limit is to keep people from bumping it up days after it has been posted originally. If you’re going to miss the Check-In, and still want to be included in next week’s, just PM me and let me know. Other wise I will take you off the list.
• There is now a time limit as to how long you can be part of the Check in. After one month (4 check-ins) you will not be included in the check in anymore. This is to encourage activity on the main board. Lots of you are active on there, and I see you posting a LOT, but there are a few that I don’t see anywhere but here.  Everyone want’s to get to know you. Don’t be afraid to post on the main board. Start a GTKY, start a poll, ask a question, or offer hugs to someone in an existing thread. Like I said, you guys do a great job, but this is a community. Give support to get support.
• Seeing as these changes just went into place, I will keep everyone tagged as is (with the addition of the new people who joined last week) and I ask that you let me know if you’re staying or going. If you’re going, you don’t have to update. If you’re staying, please give us an update on you! Also, take this time to also step away if you feel like you don’t “need” the check in anymore. I will miss you! I don’t want to accidentally delete you when you should be staying. 
• PM me if you have ANY questions or concerns   I have bolded the new additions to the template below (with the exception of  PM’ing me with a BFP request)

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. It will be posted every Monday. 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. You have up to 48 hours to respond to the check-in. If you miss this time frame, please do not bump up the check-in, just PM me and I will include you for next week. 

As of 12/8/14 there is now a ONE MONTH time limit for being part of the check-in. If you have been here for more than 4 check-ins please let me know, and I will not include you in the following weeks post. 

**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. Everyone want’s to get to know you. This a community. We give support to get support. Join in! 

***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!***

Weekly Update:  How are you doing?  Post an update including any news, thoughts, or questions - let me know how things are going for you! If you don’t see your name, it’s only because you didn’t check in last week. Feel free to join in this week!

Hey Ladies!

No bleeding here - yay! I go in for (hopefully) my last hCG draw on Wed. If I'm below 5 I'll be on my way to seeing AF and moving on. I feel like each time I reach a milestone I feel a little more hopeful. Through the m/c process I felt pretty down and depressed, which is tough because I'm a therapist and it was very hard for me to be there for other people when I was feeling so defeated and low. I took some time off, but being self employed I didn't want to miss too much work.

Now just figuring out how to navigate the holidays. MH's extended family always asks about kids. I usually brush them off. They are a big family and continue to bring stuff up, so we don't want to tell them about all of our business. Also, MH's sister is due with her first any second - literally. So I'm excited for her, but also sad.

Anyway, that's my story!

@negritosmami I'm sure no one will mind if you stop back in on occasion!
@rslh10 Thanks for kicking us off!

Here is my quote:

incir

@rslh10 thanks so much for the check-in and all you do for the newbies.  I can't remember if this is my 4th or 5th week, but either way I am out of here after this.  Sigh.  Parting is such sweet sorrow.  I've really appreciated the check-in and hope that others get as much out of it as I did.

@TowerClimbersWife I hope that your beta is low and you are on your way to a new cycle.  Best of luck with the in-laws.  Its so hard to know what to say.  You could always go for being flippant -- "Well, we keep practicing!"

@rslh10 Thanks for the check-in. This will be my last update as well. It has been great and I am sad to go, but I have been feeling for a few weeks that I should. Sometimes you just need a little gentle encouragement. See you all on the main board!

One last update: I started my second af since loss last Thursday. It caught me off guard. I was expecting it Saturday, but ch on chart made me think it would be late. Instead it was two days early. I came home from work and went to the bathroom. I made a mess! I decided to just throw out my undies and had to soak my work pants. At least the stain did not go through my pants, just on the inside! Still how embarrassing. ">

So, now I need to fill two more charts/cycles before we try again.

Oh and I called the dr last week to find out about my sample from the mc. I was hoping to get some answers. Instead all the nurse said was that they determined it was the 'products of conception.' I said, so, nothing else about it? Her response "oh no, we didn't do any studies." What was the point! I knew what it was without having to preserve it and carry it around all day until my appt. Grr.

 

:x to the newbie thread and rslh10.

@rslh10‌ - Thanks so much for the check in! Omigosh...I can't believe I've surpassed my four as well! Time has flown by but you and the other ladies have made this place in my life so much easier and definitely more comforting. Not sure how I'd be had I not been here!! Lots of hugs and I know we'll see each other on the main board :x

I can't believe it either! I'll miss you! Thank you for the kind words :x

You're all leaving me! You could have just told me you wanted to leave, I wouldn't have been too mean to you about it I am so sorry the Dr didn't do any "studies". That frustrates me. ((hugs)) See you on the main board!

rslh10  Thanks for the check-in; sorry I missed it last week.  Work's been a terror lately...
Things have been same old same old otherwise.  Though I guess I'm waiting to o now.  Trying to be optimistic.  I guess the one silver lining to work being so awful is that I don't have much time to be preoccupied about trying again. 

I guess, though, since my m/c was in October, I'm no longer a newb either. 
I guess I'll see all you lovely ladies on the board!

Thanks @rslh10 ! I am unfortunately way past the one month limit so I too will be leaving this check-in. I truly appreciate all the support and thank you all for making me feel so welcome when I first began this journey. I hope to see all you ladies on the main board (and I will continue stalking this thread to see how you all are doing).

Only 2 more times for me after this week (

Okay well since last week, I went to my GP and asked for Beta's, she told me there was no sense since I had the D&C and that I had a negative pregnancy test 1 week post op (I told her I did that one with a HPT) and if it was a natural miscarriage the we would do Beta's. I guess I kind of agree. 

Last Tuesday and Wednesday in the morning I had terrible cramps, felt exactly like period cramps (dull aches) and bleed for about an hour after then Thursday had light bleeding and Friday/Saturday had heavy bleeding and its seems to be tapering off now. Its been 4 weeks today since spotting started and I had my first beta's done that were 5-6 week mark results when i should of been 8 weeks (i knew then things were wrong) and 3 weeks tomorrow since D&C(retained tissue), I basically only had light bleeding and spotting post op, and then a week of nothing and then all this "like a period just to fuck with your head" CRAP!

I have my post op appointment with the surgeon a week from today, I'd love it for him to send me for blood work and ultrasound and say "everything looks great, start trying whenever you want and I'll see you when your KTFU in a few weeks!" but that's a Christmas wish I doubt will come true!

Looking to the positive (Im a rambler today, sorry) DH turns 30 tomorrow so Im surprising him with a yummy cake and his favorite sandwich place for dinner. Then we have a busy weekend with birthday celebrations which Im excited about, and I get to hang out with my SIL who I love, but it might be a bit sad as we both lost our June babies (we were due a week apart)

Hi All,

I am new to TTCAL. I posted an intro on the main board last week. I lost my daughter Grace at 17 weeks on November 17 after my water broke. It appears that 17 is a very unlucky number for me.

I came back to work today after taking 3 weeks off. So far so good I guess. I had this plan of tackling all my emails - I thought it would take me most of the day. But in only took about 2 hours, so now the day is just dragging by.

My next step is an appointment with a high risk MFM doctor at the end of the month. I'll see what she says before I start thinking about ttc again.

I guess that's it for today. Just feeling kinda blah.

@rslh10‌ Hi! I would like to join this newbie check-in. I just intro'ed on the main board yesterday. My MC was a about 3 weeks ago, but I just wasn't quite ready to contribute until this week. My D&C was about two weeks ago, and I stopped spotting about 5 days ago. So now I am just waiting on AF to show up. I'm feeling anxious about it, but at the same time I will be happy bc it means I will have a better timeline of when we can move forward and try again. One question I had is that I noticed a lot of you are having your HSG drawn to watch it lower, I'm not doing this. Why is it necessary to know this info? Do some people have trouble with it lowering at a normal pace? Should I be asking for it? (I don't really have any appointments scheduled until January, so if I were to ask for it I would have to go in special) Thanks for the check-in and I look forward to getting to know everyone in this one for the next month! @TowerClimbersWife‌ I'm sorry you are anxious about the holidays and people asking about you. I am also so sick of the questions too. I hope you don't have too many nosy people ask about you.

Jumping in!

I never had my HCG tracked down. Some doctors do it and some don't. If you feel up to it maybe wait 2 weeks and POAS to confirm your HPT is negative. You can always ask for it if you want though, there is not harm in trying.

I am so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board and check in

We have our hcg drawn to make sure there is no retained tissue which obviously could cause an issue moving forward. Some doctors don't do it. It's absolutely up to your dr. If you don't get your period by 6 weeks post d&c, then maybe you would need to get a beta draw but for now I would say trust your doctor.

I know every one is different but, my AF came back rather quick and I was 5w6d so it is possible that maybe that was AF? I can't say 100% obviously, but maybe. You didn't pass any clots or anything that looked like tissue, right? I would just monitor your bleeding. If it increases and concerns you, I would give your Dr a call. ((hugs)) I hope you guys have fun for your H's birthday tonight!  Also ((hugs)) to your SIL. 

MrsOscarFelix

@rslh10 thanks for the check-in. Looks like today will be my last post as well and I will be leaving the newbie check-in . But since today is technically my fourth week I will check-in as well!

This is my third day of having a positive OPK - not sure what's going on with that. My temp took a dip but then yesterday morning I forgot to temp (probably because I was passed out from the night before) but today my temp is up higher than my other temps. Hopefully I confirm O with the next couple days!

firefly143

This will be my last check in too... Thank you all for being so welcoming! It been amazing to share with you all in a safe space! My husband was not thrilled about me joining this group because he was worried it would make it harder on me. It's done the total opposite, my triggers has decreased and I don't burst into tears walking through stores anymore! I'm in the 2ww still but I don't feel there was enough time for anything to happen since I Od so late. Again thank you all! See yall on the main board!!!

negritosmami

i shall miss you too @rslh10 but ok ok before i leave i have a question(couldnt get rid of me that easy lol) ok so us newbies, as we venture out, say we get a BFP...what is protocol cause i know its rude to just leave and go to pgal or bmb without saying bye but its also rude if you're not too well known to post a BFP thread! has there ever been like one thread where some of the lesser known people can post BFP if they dont want to be an AW and start a thread of their own but they dont want to be rude and quietly dip out either? cause honestly if i ever got one i was just gonna PM you so that at least SOMEONE knew so as to not be rude ya know?

Ugh I so wish I knew for sure. Honestly I really believe it is/was my period but how can anyone really know? I did pass tiny clots....but they weren't really clots.....on TP it just looked like lining...stringy you know? I used to pass them during periods when I was younger, but I don't wear pads, EVER so I don't see what comes out of me normally you know?

I can say it came right on like a normal period, and I know my beta's were low enough a week ago to give a definite negative on a pregnancy test.

You too?!? Everyone's gone! I have my fx for your tww! I agree that the board really made me understand that it's ok to be sad and feel my emotions. It helped me deal with everything in a safe place.

@rslh10 Thank you for all the support you have provided during check-ins here. I am pretty sure I am past my month stay. I guess this is the kick in the butt I needed to get participating more elsewhere. 

Anyway. Hope to see you all on the main board!

MrsBPhotographer

@rshl10 Thank you for making this such an amazing check in! It's so clear that none of these ladies are wanting to leave because of you! :x

@CC1017 Welcome to the board, so sorry to hear about your loss of Grace. 

@Firefly143 I actually had those concerns myself. I was worried that it would keep me stuck in the MC state of mind, and less likely to let go, but because everyone has been so warm and supportive it has been the total opposite. The best thing has been that if I am looking to have more of a dwell on it sort of day, there's a place for that, or if I just want to look at cute pictures of puppies, there's a place for that too!

My update: Went to the Dr. last week. Got the all clear to TTC again once I get my first AF, so now, just waiting for that. Just trying to keep positive about everything. I just completed my master's in elementary education and got called for my first interview tomorrow morning. So... fingers crossed! In the mean time, I've had lots of photography jobs, and am going to visit my family in CO for a week tomorrow. Lot's to keep my mind in other directions. \:D/

I'm feeling a bit sick. Had to be on antibiotics for dental surgery last week and as a result, I'm sick. I'm soooo sick of hearing and seeing people on my local FB group whining about being too old to have kids at 32. I'm 30 fucking 8 and I'm still holding out hope. It's SO frustrating. /vent.

I'm also past the one month time limit (hard to believe it's been two months since my loss) so am also waving goodbye. But I just wanted to stop by one last time to thank you @rslh10‌ for everything that you do for this check in and making myself and all the rest of the newbies feel so welcome!

^^^ how true of anyone who complains about being pregnant , my sister has done this through her entire pregnancy. :-( I made a decision last night if I conceive again I will never post anything on facebook. You don't know what other women are going through and how bad it can stir up feelings.

This past week has been tough. Telling everyone we told we were expecting has been especially hard. I also found out who really are your true friends. We basically told close close friends and immediate family members about the pregnancy. One of my friends (semi close) husband lost his job. She reached out to me this weekend asking why I haven't said anything to her or send condolences to which I replied "look im sorry but I loss my baby and my issues are far more important than what you're going through right now" to which she said, you're a liar and if it's true that I deserved it.
Let's just say i promptly deleted her from all social media and erased her number and I will never speak to her again. /rant

It's been a shitty week.

Hi ladies! I don't know how I feel about the change. All for the better I guess. It's almost time for me to leave, although the last few weeks have been a blur and I don't quite remember when I got here exactly @rslh10‌ are you keeping track of who needs to leave? What if I lie so that I can stay a bit longer? Eta- half of my post disappeared so I'll be back in a few to put it back in

I think you're good for another two weeks! I wasn't keeping track, but just hoping everyone would know if they have been here too long etc....You are very new. I vote you stay another two check ins!

@rslh10 Thank you for all the support you have provided during check-ins here. I am pretty sure I am past my month stay. I guess this is the kick in the butt I needed to get participating more elsewhere. 

Anyway. Hope to see you all on the main board!

I will miss you! See you on the main board

@rshl10 Thank you for making this such an amazing check in! It's so clear that none of these ladies are wanting to leave because of you! :x

Oh my gosh thank you for the sweet words!! I appreciate them so much. I love running the check in, and I'm really glad that everyone feels comfortable here. I just want to give back what I was given when I joined. 

Yay for the good news from the Dr! That's great! I will have everything crossed for your interview in the morning!  Good luck. Hope the visit with your family goes well, too.
