TTC After a Loss

••TTCAL Newbie Check-in 12/15/15••


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 wants to get to know you. This a community; We give support to get support. Join in!

    Hey! Thanks for the check in!

    I'm angry at myself for not temping this cycle because I'm getting all sorts of mixed messages from my body. I'm technically on CD 26 post m/c. I've had EWCM for the last 5 or so days. Today it was just a tiny bit, but all my sources say that you judge by the "most fertile" CM for each day, so this would be it. It is confusing to me. I usually would only have 3-4 days of fertile CM each month, so extending that is a little weird. I was still spotting some, just dark brown discharge - but I consider that spotting. That seems to have slowed down some. Again, just wish I would have started temping from the beginning so I could have some solid info on what is going on now. It is so weird for me not to know when AF is coming and it is messing with my mind.

    On a happier note, I went and had Maya Abdominal Massage. That was AMAZING! My uterus is off to the left, so hopefully we'll be able to coax it more center, and it is tilted backward, which is explained by the horseback riding. Even if all the hoopla about it is fake, I still feel good about it because I'm taking care of my body in a slow and meaningful way. The back massage that goes along with it is AMAZING! I really encourage anyone who is open to massage as a therapy to see if there is someone who does Maya near you!

    edit: because I want this to make sense!!

    You could always just start temping now. I picked up temping randomly during a cycle and it still allowed me to see what was going on once I did get my AF (drop in temps before she came etc). Just a thought obviously :) Also I'm so jealous of your massage! I have coverage in my insurance for massage, but I have to go to certain people and they are all an hour or so away. Ugh! The way you described yours though, I might have to look into it! ;)

  • Well I survived my first week back at work. It was a little easier than I thought it would be. I also survived the Christmas party DH through at our house on Saturday. And by survived, I mean barely survived. I went upstairs and hid in my room after about 2 hours. I just wasn't up for socializing. No new updates on ttc - still waiting for my appointment with the MFM.

    My favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone. I remember getting that movie for Christmas as a kid (good ole VHS). I was SO excited. I picked up the movie and it slid out of the case and broke on the floor. I cried and cried. My Mom was like "it's just a movie! We'll get another one!" But I was so upset over that stupid movie.

    I'm so sorry you hid from the party! It's okay. I have a feeling that might be happening to me at my upcoming holiday events! And LOL at the home alone VHS! Yes! I too had it on vhs. Oh the 90's....how I miss thee.

  • Good AFTERNOON!
    No signs of O, right after the bleeding stopped CM was EW but now just sticky. I'm going to start OPK's again today and fiddling with the idea of temping again (been a few years since I temped)
    I have my follow up appointment with the surgeon today (3pm) so I'm hoping he clears me to start TTC. I think I'm definitely ready (DH too). But I'm nervous hes going to say no TTC for another month or so...I'll update Y'all after the appointment. 
    Otherwise I've had a increasingly worsening headache over the last 3 hours, ugh.
    Christmas movies! I love love love Elf!

  • I would like to join, please!

    I've mentioned this in my intro late last week but I had two losses in may and October.

    My first due date was dec 4th. I was nervous about how to cope with the day itself not imagining how difficult the days and weeks after would be. My mind is now obsessed with the game "I know I am currently (xyz- working/grocery shopping/drinking/whatever), but I SHOULD be holding an infant in my arms instead."

    I know it's cruel and unfair to both me and my husband (who's been such a good sport) but I just can't fight off that kind of thinking. Considering my next due date will be in April, I know it'll be a tough road to shake my feelings through the spring, short of getting pg again.

    It's nice to have a place to actually admit to my destructive thoughts, though. My favorite Christmas movie is white Christmas- or love actually!

  • I'd like to join this check in also, please.  

    @rslh10 - Thanks for the check in.

    @TowerClimbersWife - Your Maya massage sounds wonderful, I will have to look into that.  

    @CC1017 - I'm glad your first week back at work went ok.  I'm sorry that you had a hard time at the Christmas party.  ::hugs::

    @kingscross145 - FX hope your appointment goes well! Hope your headache gets better.

    @NOBB14 - I'm sorry you're having a rough time.  ::hugs:: 


    AFM... Today was my first day back to work, after taking last week off.  It was a little harder than I thought.  I found triggers EVERYWHERE, but held it together until after my shift.  (I only work 3 hours 3 days a week)

    It's been really hard for me to deal with people's reactions, or more like non-reactions.  Only a handful of people know, but they've been kinda weird around me and haven't really said anything.  I know they just don't what to say, but sometimes them saying nothing is kind of hurtful.  

    One family friend however left me a very thoughtful card and flowers on my door.  She had gone through a mc also and wished "peace" for us, it was so sweet it made me cry.

    Welcome! I am so sorry for your losses. I understand the game you're talking about. My EDD is coming up and I find myself thinking I absolutely could have already had a baby. I should be holding it etc...but it just puts me in a really dark place so I am trying my best to think of other things. I've been listening to a lot of music and trying to be crafty to keep my mind occupied. Is there anything like that that you could try?

    ((Hugs)) lady and I hope you start to feel better soon.

    Welcome! I'm so sorry for your loss. I think that it's a catch 22 with people in regards to saying something or not saying something to a loss lady. They're afraid if they bring it up, they'll hurt you, and some just don't know what to say. I think I would rather them not say anything to me instead of telling me "it happened for a reason", or "its gods plan". That's just me personally though. As for triggers, even when you think you're better, they will be here and there. They will just catch you off guard ect. I know that I still have them.

    I hope that your next few days at work go by quickly and you can start feeling better. What a thoughtful thing of your family friend to do. Those things mean the most. ((Hugs))

  • Hello everyone, I would like to join as well.

    I started using OPK's yesterday twice a day as I have been and have fertile CM as of today so my cycle seems to be on track since the CP.  I have read that it can go either way so I prepared myself to go with whatever happens. 

    It looks like the cycle of the other recipient our donor is working with is going to conflict with ours.  At this point, we are doing our best to stay positive and understand that if it isn't meant to happen this month there is always next month.  This has brought up the discussion of having a back up donor to avoid future issues but we are sure we want to go that route just yet.

  • @rslh10 Thanks for the check-in! I've been doing well. Just waiting for that dang AF to show up so we can start TTC again. Luckily, I've been super busy so that's sure helped to take my mind of off everything. I think I'm about to O. So, hopefully headed in the right direction.

    How are you doing?

    @nicnackmama Welcome. I checked for them to email, and I never get emails. When I had the email section unchecked I didn't even get the red notifications at the top... I'm thinking there's something a little messed up with the system.

    Thanks for the checkin @rslh10!  Thanks for asking about my party, it went really well.  It was exactly what I wanted it to be, all of our favorite and most supportive friends gathered in one room.  I made a nice toast to let everyone know how much their support throughout this rough year meant to us. :) 

    CAH was great!  I tied for second, DH took home the victory! That game is hysterical!

     

    I'm actually confused with what is going on with me right now. It's been 25 days since my D&C, and I had stopped spotting completely for a little over a week, and then started lightly spotting again two days ago, and then yesterday and today I have had full on cramps and a heavier flow (but not super heavy - barely need a tampon).  I'm so confused, I know it can take up to 6 weeks to stop spotting after the D&C, but could this be my first AF?  I meant to call the nurses at my RE office today but got busy at work and didn't, so maybe I will do that tomorrow.  Like last week I'm wondering if I need to just go ahead and check my HCG to know for sure what this is.  I don't really have a question here, but maybe some of you can share how you knew your cycle was back on track. 

     

    My favorite Christmas movies are: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and I know it's bad, but Bad Santa is so funny!  DH and I quote it all the time.  I also like A Christmas Story. :)

    if you have a HPT, pee on it. If it's negative, I would venture to say that HOPEFULLY that may be AF. If you're still showing up + on a hpt, then it's really up to you what you want to do. If I was still showing up + after a month, I would call the dr and just tell them.
    My cycle came back 1 week later than normal and I only knew it was AF because I had a +opk 2ish weeks before. Cycles after loss can be wonky.

    I'm so so happy to hear your party went well :) great job scoring 1st & 2nd place! ((Hugs))

  • I have a silly NTTCAL newbie question I'm hoping one of you amazing ladies can help with... I have my notification settings set to email & pop-up if I'm tagged or quoted in a post etc.  Sometimes I get them and most of the time I don't.  I triple checked my e-mail addy and all of the settings, any advice? 

    Are you asking how you make sure you get them in your email? Maybe you only get them when you're tagged, not quoted? I have my email notifications off. I'm on the mobile app a lot so I'm constantly refreshing and checking threads because they don't notify you.

    Could you check to verify which notifications you're getting?

  • *UPDATE

    My appointment went good. Pathology was "normal" so no molar pregnancy (D&C for retained tissue) He told me we can start TTC when we want......Burning that damn bench!!! To continue to take folic acid (I haven't stopped taking my prenatal vit, just stopped taking the EXTRA folic acid) I asked if the episode 12 days ago could of been my period and he said yes. He also said when pregnant again to be on complete pelvic rest for the first trimester.....then said "if you can" which I said, well shit if it helps even a little bit I will because there's no way I want to go threw that again.
    Also said some women can have annovultory cycles for the first 3 months after a MC but its not a big deal (obv I hope that's not me but I guess there's nothing I can do if it is)

    Hello everyone, I would like to join as well.

    I started using OPK's yesterday twice a day as I have been and have fertile CM as of today so my cycle seems to be on track since the CP.  I have read that it can go either way so I prepared myself to go with whatever happens. 

    It looks like the cycle of the other recipient our donor is working with is going to conflict with ours.  At this point, we are doing our best to stay positive and understand that if it isn't meant to happen this month there is always next month.  This has brought up the discussion of having a back up donor to avoid future issues but we are sure we want to go that route just yet.
    I am SO sorry that I missed this! I apologize x 100! Welcome, and I'm so sorry you're here. I hope that you all the cycle timing ends up working out for you guys. I hate making decisions related to TTC. It's so loaded, you know? Good luck!! I have my FX for you :)

  • @rslh10- thanks for posting this! Can I join in!?

    @NOBB14 - I feel you girl! I can't keep myself from playing the "I should be....right now" game. I know your EDD must have been so difficult for you. I'll be thinking of you this month; hang in there!

    Newbie question: did I just tag people correctly? I just did an @ and then their screen name...is that right? Bare with me!

    AFM, I am feeling super bummed today because it's CD24 and no sign of ovulation yet. OPK's are practically white and CM has totally dried back up. I was looking forward to TTC this month and now I'm worried about an anovulatory cycle. All I want for Christmas is a temp spike LOL!

    Welcome to the check in! I'm so sorry that you find yourself here. You did tag them correctly, go you! :) You're doing just fine. Also, I think that the first few cycles after a loss are so wonky that all you can do is just feel them out. Are you temping? I see that you said you're using OPKS, but temping and using OPKs is going to be more informative for you. Keep plugging along, and I will have everything crossed for you and hope that maybe your body can get it's crap together soon :)

  • Thanks, @rslh10! Yes, I am temping, so at least I'll know if I do end up ovulating. And you're right, the more info I have, the better!

    Yes. I moved this weekend and it has been hectic !!! So much to be done and basically be I've been trained and been with the company im just getting thrown into everything.
    I don't want to step on toes either but they are doing TONS of things wrong!!!! I sent two pages of walk notes last and let's just say I'm semi nervous to go in a few minutes.
    I have not figured out anything to do during the move- he doesn't want to FaceTime, he won't check the mail, we've been texting more but that's about it.

    I do love all the classics like, christmas story, national lampoons christmas, elf, home alone
    But I love the cheesy movies they show on Ion and ABCFamily. I love love those cheesy made for tv movies


    Also, I'm going house hunting- by myself tomorrow!!! It's exciting.

  • @rslh10‌ great suggestion! I have taken a passing interest in basic (VERY basic!) crafting- I really need to stick with it because it's much more productive than moping. Gotta get back on that Pinterest horse and find some new ideas! Hugs to you for being in a similar boat. Know you're not alone!

  • Hello ladies. New here and wanted to check in. Hope I'm doing this right. I posted and introduction a bit ago.

    Anyway, I'm having such a lazy day today. I'm finishing up a round of antibiotics and they are just making me feel blehhh. And it snowed last night so I don't want to leave the warm of my electric blanket. :) Haha. Also ,  I can't believe Christmas is in a week! I have not finished all my shopping.

    I don't know what cycle day I'm on exactly ( I don't track with temp or anything) but know my af should be starting *soon* and hopefully we can start trying again after that. We are seeing a specialist next week for a pre-conception to make sure everything is okay and that we are good to go!

    Hi there! Welcome to the check-in. I'm so sorry for your loss. Better get all your shopping done! It's creeping up. Temping/OPK's is the best way to get to know what your body is doing. Cycles after loss can be wonky. I will be posting this check in again on Monday. I will add you in and you can chime in on that one :) ((hugs))

  • This is pretty cool! (The whole newbie update thing, I it's not something I've seen done before this board)

    Um let's see I just got my BBT thermometer yesterday and used it today (98.45) so yay! My SO will get off the rig Monday evening so: 1 whole week with him! But I am waiting to start my cycle because I don't know what day I'm even on or when I should be expecting to start.

    As for my favorite holiday movie: it's definitely the classic Rudolf.
