2) benched until the end of September. Which feels like for ever. Waiting for AF after taking methotrexate.
3) I agree with many of you ladies that it feels like I am surrounded by pregnant women. I am excited for them but feel sad for me. I recently had some labwork to check for lupus and clotting disorders. A couple of things came back mildly elevated. My doctor is referring me to an infertility specialist to see if they have any recommendation me have successful pregnancy (in March I had a miscarriage at 8 weekend and in the middle of June I had an ectopic pregnancy). I broke down in to tears when my doctor told me. I am not sure if I am happy that maybe I will get some answers and they can recommend and way to help me stay pregnant. But I am also terrified. What if there is a ton more tests? What if there is no answer? What if there is never a baby? Can I be happy if I never have a baby? Lots of questions and fears.
GTKY: I am usually a quick breakfast person. I usually eat a granola bar as I drive to work. I love to eat French toast when I have more time to cook
Also hugs to everyone else on here. Rude and insenitive people suck. And for Those that are struggling be kind to yourself.
@Hopefulmommy1980 I'm in a very position to you. I'm also benched til September and starting to work with an RE after 2 losses. It's scary, but I just keep telling myself that these Doctors are completely confident in my ability to become a mother. That is what I need on my team. I love my OB, but their job is just to care for me when I am pregnant, not to ensure I get pregnant with a healthy baby. I'm assuming based on your screen name that we are about the same age? I'm 37. It's so scary being AMA and I have so many regrets and fears, but I really do try to take it one day at a time in this crazy process. It's all you can do!
Can I ask seasoned charters a question? I only charted one cycle that I didn't get KU-D or wasn't the cycle after my MC. How far does your temp drop and when does it drop before AF? I'm 13 or 14 DPO and my temp still right at 98 degrees still and the cover line is around 97.4. I'm so worried I won't bleed again, so I'm trying to convince myself that I can't bleed til the temp drops. Is this true??
@chloe97 My temp usually drops the day AF is going to show up. Typically it goes down to really close to my coverline and can be anywhere from a .5-1 degree drop. My temp usually stays elevated until then, meaning I don't have a slow fall, my temp goes from high to low in the span of a day. That being said I don't think it necessarily is like that for everyone, meaning you don't have to have a drastic drop to get AF. It's just the way it's always worked for me.
@chloe97 My temp always stays somewhat elevated through my period and only drops below cover once I'm just down to spotting. This is pretty common actually. Have you ever read Taking Charge Of Your Fertility? If not, I'd recommend it. There are a TON of example charts and troubleshooting - it's not just a How-To guide. I referenced it a lot my first few months charting to figure out if I had a stair-step rise pattern.
As for me, I'm just going to skip the format and keep this brief. My Endocrinologist appointment went well. She said we've been a managing my thyroid perfectly, so that's not really a solution for my losses. She does monitor thyroid a bit more frequently during pregnancy than my OB (every 4 weeks vs 6), so I'll stick with her for thyroid management when I get pregnant again and hopefully make it past 8 weeks without a problem....Otherwise, just chilling on the bench waiting for my repeat APS testing.
Non-TTC-wise, life just gets crappier with my mother. She said some pretty vitriolic things about H when I told her we couldn't send her more money. And then she had a small heart attack. And my doctors wonder why my blood pressure has been elevated the last two weeks. I really need to find a counselor to talk to.
On the plus side, we have our puppy and he is a pretty chill little dude for a puppy! Mostly wants to cuddle.
Pictures of the pup please @RiverSong15!! I'm so sorry about your problems with your mother. How stressful to have to deal with that in addition to everything else. Glad to hear you thyroid is under control.
I'm hoping I'm more like @aliciagoose and my temp will drop tomorrow and AF will show. I feel so PMS-y. My body feels like it will bleed any minute and I keep going to the bathroom to check and nada. I've never wanted the bleed more in my life. If I don't bleed, I'm not going to be able to get DOR testing and I'm not sure if they will make me wait another cycle for HCG and saline sonogram.
H and I are having a tough week with triggers. Not only are we going to a wedding Saturday with a friend who has a baby with #1 due date birthday, but also a friend who is pregnant and due around due date #2. Luckily they are both college friends and the bride is sitting me with high school friends. Then we went out the dinner with my ILs last night and my MIL decided to start bugging a client we ran into about when they would have another kid and proceeded to talk all about different people who recently had babies with SIL. We just cannot believe that they are so insensitive after watching is struggle so much. Oh yeah and I'm sitting at a restaurant right now because my coworkers wife is bringing in their newborn to visit the office right now. I casually snuck out, hopefully no one says anything to me about missing her, I may lose it on them.
Anyway, it seems my 6 weeks w/o emotional breakdowns is giving way to a flood of them. I guess this is to be expected now that my cycle is officially back and testing is starting. I can't block this stuff out any more. We are very lucky that we have a few close friends who are also struggling, so we are trying our best to spend time with them where we give ourselves freedom to focus on EVERYTHING else but babies. It's amazing how many friendships we've more or less had to "put on hold" to protect ourselves.
@chloe97 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that AF shows up soon so everything can go as planned. I know my experience is anecdotal but AF comes in to a big temp drop for me every month, so I'm hoping you have the same experience! Also I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling emotionally right now. It's amazing how insensitive people can be, and also how easy it is to find yourself in a triggering environment.
@chloe97 I am so sorry you're struggling right now. I understand that it's hard to know what a MC is like unless you've been through it, but sometimes the insensitivity is really hard to believe. I couldn't believe it when my ILS went on and on about baby names for my SIL's baby about 4 weeks post MC for me. I understood they were excited, but it was such a punch in the gut to have to sit there and not cry in a restaurant. It sucks and I'm sorry you're having to face it along with so many other triggers. Thinking of you.
I seem to have a small drop around CD 14 and then a pretty significant temp drop the next morning and then AF usually starts the same day. I hope AF shows for you soon.
@chloe97 I am sorry you are struggling right now. I know for me it feels like everyone else is having baby. Also thank you for your kind words and understanding. In a weird way it is nice to have someone who is going through something similar even know I would not have wished this journey on anyone. You are right that I am Ama. I will be 36 in November. Hopefully we will both get some answers and have our rainbow babies soon.
@chloe97 I hear you on the triggers. I hope they would understand why you needed to step out while a co-worker brought in her newborn, that is totally understandable. I struggle with knowing their will be babies around me my entire life and that it will probably never get easier seeing them if I don't have one. The only thing that gives me some sort of mental relief from that, is knowing eventually the ones I will have to see regularly, will someday grow up and it is less {keyword is LESS} difficult to be around older kids than infants.
I have a baby shower on Sunday I am dreading... originally I was planning on skipping (DH is skipping the tacky 'diaper party' the day before where my friends husband asked for $20 instead of diapers, um, excuse me?!) This is a childhood friend and I use the word friend loosely. We grew up together and weren't close but our families were. She knows about my most recent loss and never asked if I was ok, if she could do anything, or offered any words of kindness. Instead, she asked what I did wrong, said that I was still 'young', etc. She told me her husband wouldn't love their baby as much if it were a girl. I left that brunch sobbing because I couldn't believe someone could be so naive, rude, arrogant, and I had HAD and LOST a girl. So I am going because I feel like if our friendship ends, I want it to be because I am mad at her, not because I did anything to her or missed one of her life events. I don't really drink and I feel like I will need a shot of tequila before I go, haha
Tbh I'm a little annoyed that DH's family talked about us having kids and how they want a boy to carry on the name and if we have two girls would we consider trying for a third to try for a boy etc (which I think is just so weird and patriarchal and icky anyways) but not one of them said they were sorry for my loss or anything like that to my face (they had to DH on the phone when he'd told them). It was like it didn't happen. I know his family is more on the "non-emotional don't talk about stuff side" but it just will always bother me that miscarriages are so taboo and "brushed under the rug" and I'm sorry so many of us have experienced that feeling
Ugh @aera11 that sound so incredibly painful. I honestly don't think people understand what it's like to suffer a loss unless you've actually been through one. I can't believe your friend had the balls to say her husband wouldn't love a girl as much that makes me want to puke.
Not exactly the same, but as I was awaiting my NIPT test results after my first inconclusive test, my friend who was due the same month as me texted to say "It's a girl!" To be able to be so arrogant to lead with the gender and not with "everything is ok" is beyond me. Especially because she knew I was PGAL and waiting on a second draw since my first was inconclusive.
I'm so sorry about the baby shower. Could you skip it? I'm not sure I could handle it for a friend who is that out there.
@riversong15 definitely puppy picture please! And sorry about the family drama, that's a lot to try to deal with, and I know it's been an ongoing problem. I hope you can find a good resolution soon.
@chloe97 my temperature usually drops the day I get AF, although sometimes it's not a remarkable drop, and my temperatures do tend to stick higher (bobbing up and down around coverline) throughout AF.
@rainbowturtles I hear you on the weird family issues. My ILs are very private people too and won't talk about any of these things either. Hopefully they'll love any and all children you are able to have when the time comes!

I feel like this will be the last 'nice' thing I do for her @chloe97. I have no intention of bringing them dinner, sending another gift or even texting her to see how they're doing after the baby arrives.
People get way too wrapped up in the gender as opposed to the health. Totally natural to want one versus the other, but to say you'd love a girl less is horrible. I'm honestly scared for their child because they already fight a ton. And I agree...until you've experienced loss, you can't relate. It doesn't haunt you every day, people are sad for us but their sadness only lasts a moment. Plus, add infertility + loss and damn, then they really don't know. I feel like our world would have a little more kindness and compassion if we truly could experience what others have. Ok, rant over

^^ You said it perfectly with the bolded. I've had people who haven't been through a loss be very kind and compassionate when it came to how they dealt with me. But their sadness is fleeting. They know I'm sad, and they try their best to help me, but after a while they seem to 'forget' or at the very least stop checking in and assume I'm over it. Which couldn't be farther from the truth! Only people who have been through a loss understand how far reaching the grief is and how all consuming the experience is.
On another whinier note... I and starting to feel like the biggest complainer in the world because every other day I am dealing with some sort of negative feelings that I need to get out. If it's not grief it's anxiety. And I feel like people I know are tired of listening to me. And I also feel bad for bombarding them with all of these negative feelings that I'm experiencing.
Today it's anxiety. It is just hitting me now that it really could genuinely take a while for me to get a BFP again (if I get a BFP again). For so long I was just focused on getting to a cycle and trying again. And now that I'm here in this cycle on CD17 with O nowhere in sight, I'm freaking out. I'm starting to worry that there is something wrong and that's why my O has been so late (since my first cycle with O being super late was actually my BFP cycle). I'm trying to rationalize and say that the BFP cycle was just an anomaly (I always get one long cycle every year) and that these last two don't count because they're post loss and I could still be getting back to normal. But I'm having trouble believing those things are true. And I'm feeling like even if I do get pregnant again this cycle with my late O that something bad migjt happen. I don't want to not try because I'm anxious. But I also want to know what's going on with my body. I just went to the OB last week so I don't want to go again. At what point do I worry that this late O is going to be a consistent thing and actually get checked out? I hate that I can't just go with the flow of things and be calm.
@AliciaGoose I agree with you about that line! Spot on perfect. And explains why my friend sent her pregnancy announcement with no thoughts to my feelings.
I feel you on anxiety. Do you know what day you usually ovulate? I hate to say this because I know it's not what you want to hear, but if you are only 2 months out from your MC, your body may regulating still and you may ovulate very late for you. One of the things I regret the most is trying right away when I was so anxious to TTC after my first loss that I went crazy and wasn't sleeping and was crying constantly. My body wasn't ready, I ended up ovulating 8 days late and it was a bad egg that I carried for 13 weeks.
This is time I vowed to wait until my body was doing all normal things before trying again, which is why I benched. I know it's so much easier said than done, so I don't blame you if you don't take my advice, but I would do your absolute best to focus on relaxing and let your body do what it will do. Try to focus on enjoying the summer. Your body will normalize in time. Since you aren't AMA, you probably aren't going to get much assistance from your OB this early on. Mine only referred me to an RE b/c I'm 37.
@chloe97 I normally O on day 17/18. I'm day 17 now with none of my normal signs, so by assumption I'm looking at day 21 at the earliest at this point (unless stuff starts to happen today, then maybe 20). My BFP cycle was a day 27 O with a fakeout LH surge around day 22. I'm going to give my body probably until around CD22-23 to O and then I might seriously consider benching myself this cycle. I have had anxiety since my loss that it was a bad egg and that's why I ovulated late for me that month, and I don't want to repeat that again. I really do appreciate your advice because even though it isn't what I wanted to hear it's what I needed to hear and something I need to consider.
I honestly do hope it's just my body taking a little extra time to go back to normal and not anything else. I feel like I'm borrowing trouble by being worried about greater issues. Part of the reason I'm worried is that my cycles used to be long and inconsistent and only were regular for about 1.5 years before my BFP. So I'm nervous I'm going back to those irregular cycles.
@chloe97 I'm sorry you're still waiting on AF, i hope she shows up soon. I'm on the 3rd charting cycle, the 1st I had 2 very minor temp drops, then it plummeted way below cover line and then I bled the next day. my second cycle I woke up with my temp way down below cover line and bled immediately. Sorry I know those are two conflicting answers but hopefully yours comes very soon.
