TTC After a Loss

October TWW

«13

Re: October TWW

  • So I thought for sure I was out but now I'm not sure. I haven't been temping consistently but this morning I'm up .2 from Sunday. My RHR is also on the increase and my cervix is HSC... If today is actually 10 dpo and not 11, its mimicking last cycle almost to a T, even in minor syptoms. I'm scared and hopeful and really just all over the place here.

  • I'm out, but I pretty much expected it anyway. Doc had told us to not TTC this month as he was running some tests but that was after 1bd early on so I only had a slim chance. Not sure if this next cycle DH will be able to or not (see my weekly check-in). I'm not getting any younger 
  • Stark white BFN this morning. Not temping, so it's like 11 days since DTD, but not certain of exact O date. May be a bit early, but honestly the only reason I tested was because I'm having some crazy hormonal things going on since yesterday. my hormones are ALL out of whack. Not sure what the deal is. Just super frustrated that I'm still not PG after trying for a year and apparently am a crazy emotional and hormonal wreck for seemingly no reason.
    And, getting on FB, first thing I see is an extremely insensitive PG announcement for "Third Time's a Charm" cause they're having their third kid. Well, lucky you biotch... cause my third time wasn't a charm, and neither were any of my other times. Grrr..... super angry today.

  • @dpjennifer Sorry you're having a rough day - negative tests can be such a slap in the face. I also hate FB announcements. I mean seriously, why are they even necessary? Pick up the phone and call the people who matter. 
  • @prpl11butterfly Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you.  <3 Also, you get to be part of an amazing BMB, so that's awesome too!
  • @prpl11butterfly congrats and good luck!!
  • @prpl11butterfly congrats!! I hope not to see you back here!

    AFM......
    We got DH semen analysis today and was surprised to hear he has low sperm count. Dr said they wanted to see 40-100 million and his was 18 million. So between my crappy ovulation and his low sperm count it just doesn't seem to be in the stars for us... We will meet with an RE soon (hopefully). But since we aren't interested in IVF, I am not holding my breath. But we'll keep trying for now...  
  • @Kath525 sorry for the crappy results! Hopefully once you meet with your RE they will have some options other than IVF for you! I researched foods that increase sperm production and used to make my husband a trail mix, I called it super swimmer mix lol. Maybe it helped us get DD, maybe it didn’t but it made me feel better. If you’re interested the main ingredient was gogi berries. 
  • @prpl11butterfly Congrats!  Fx so hard that this is it for you!
    @kath525 Sorry that your DH's results are low.  Maybe the RE will have some suggestions for you.
  • @char245 thanks for the suggestion!
  • @Kath525 hopefully RE will have suggestions 
  • @prpl11butterfly congrats! I hope you find some great support on a BMB.

    I’m on CD 31, and my chart looks like I might have ovulated on CD 27 or 28. This was my first cycle temping and I wasn’t as consistent with it as I should have been, so hopefully I didn’t ovulate that late. I noticed a little EWCM around CD 21, so maybe that’s a little more accurate. If I did ovulate late, though, this cycle is probably a bust because our timing wouldn’t freaky line up with that.
  • Congrats @prpl11butterfly! So stoked for you!

    @dpjennifer I feel ya. Last month I was having all sorts of crazy hormone issues. Really got my hopes up. I guess for me it was just extra long PMS :(
    And I just went on a 2 week FB hiatus. I couldn't take it anymore.  3 "we weren't even trying" announcements in 1 week, plus others, it was too much to take. It was hard to break the habit of signing on for a few days, but I felt way better after.

    So I guess I'm heading here now? Wasn't expecting to O till next Wednesday, based on my last cycle. Unexpectedly got a SUPER + OPK this morning after work. And then a temp spike when I woke up this afternoon.
    Don't have much hope though. We weren't able to DTD today. Stupid work. 
    I had a good feeling about this month too :( . Last week I had a dream *TW where my angel babies were there, and told me everything was going to be ok, and that "this is our month". End TW* which is SUPER weird and silly. I know. 
    Oh well. Nothing I can do now but wait! Maybe this TWW will be easier for me, knowing there is really no point hoping.

    Fx for everyone else!

  • @prpl11butterfly I just saw!!! Congrats and I really hope this is your take home baby!

    @Kath525 I’m sorry for the news about DH’s counts—I hope the RE has non-IVF suggestions and you can make a plan that everyone feels good about. 
  • Well I go here now. Positive opk today and bd this morning (hopefully tomorrow too if we can swing it with a house full of in-laws). So seems like good timing. Extra wishing for this to be the month as a close friend just told me she’s pregnant, it would be so exciting to be bump buddies...also next month is EDD month so it would be easier on my emotions to be pregnant again (as that’s been my hope all along to be pregnant again before EDD, I’m sure many can relate to this)...well here’s to FX for positives for everyone in this months TWW! 
  • Looks like I go here now as well. Positive OPK's on Saturday and Sunday. I had every intention of being benched but apparently I'm a glutton for punishment and have no control once I'm in my fertile week. I guess we'll see what happens.
  • I go here now too. Fingers crossed for everyone!
  • Bad news is today is CD 1. 
    Good news is I FINALLY have a referral to an RE (they really shouldn't make it this difficult).
    Good luck to the rest of you still in it this month!!
  • Sorry to hear about CD1 @Kath525, buy glad you finally get to see an RE.

    Question for anyone with an MTHFR mutation: I just picked up my lab results and noticed I'm heterozygous for the C677T variant. (The nurse neglected to mention this) I know this is less severe than being homogygous, but I'm wondering if anyone else with repeat loss history has the same issue? I have a call into my doctor, but I'm thinking about starting low dose aspirin as a precaution. Any thoughts are appreciated. 

    ETA - oops, meant to post this in randoms!
  • @kath525 Too bad about it being CD1, but yay for finally getting a referral to see an RE!  Hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
  • I’m 2dpo now so I go here, too. 

    @Kath525 sorry about AF but I’m glad you’re finally in with the RE. I hope you get some answers!
  • Now for the waiting game. Probably O'd during the weekend, DTD on Saturday, meant to repeat yesterday but DH got a painful sprain playing Squash. I don't know if BDing today would work but it depends on his leg's condition.
  • 6dpo so I go here too. 
  • 2dpo - here we go again one year ttc after loss. Seeing an RE at the end of the month, hopefully should be closer to getting some answers. Courage to you all ladies!!
  • I had I had to take a little TTC Bump break.  I just started to feel a little discouraged.  TNT this month as my cycle has been nuts since my D&C in July.  However I may be in The game this month.  Probably about 4 dpo.  I did get to talk to my OB and we will do ovulation kits next month and 21 Day progesterone to make sure everything is okay.  She also wants to think about an ultrasound.  It’s nice to know she’s on my side and supportive.  
  • @prpl11butterfly congratulations!! I hope I don’t see you! :) 
  • Angel baby was a surprise so this is my first ever TWW. I looked at the calender and counted days about twenty times yesterday.
  • @bakerstreetboys congratulations!!! I hope this is it for you!!! 

    Afm, 11dpo with classic AF and PMS symptoms, so I’m not even going to bother testing 
  • @bakerstreetboys that’s so exciting!! FX that those lines just continue to get darker for you!! 
  • @bakerstreetboys congratulations!! FX for you!!!!
  • @bakerstreetboys How exciting! Keep us updated!
  • Exciting news @bakerstreetboys.  FX this is it!  Keep us posted.  Congrats!!!
