@periwinklebee: I'm so sorry to hear that
@mrskansas: glad you had a nice day with your daughter! 2 is so fun.
Just waiting around here at CD9. I caved and bought the digital OPK's so I have to start those this week. The pamphlet says to start at CD 12 as my cycle seems to be 29-30 days. Does that seem right? I feel like I'm going crazy waiting to be able to do anything. I'm planning on doing OPKs and EOD BD through O and trying not to stress about the outcome. Easier said than done, I know!
-
@dc yoga bee: My husband actually requested I not talk about it. He doesn't even know I started Femara!
As difficult as it is with our schedules and a toddler I've tried initiating way more that way he doesn't think I only want him around ovulation time. -
@bushelandapeck: Waiting on ovulation is the worst. I'm a few days behind you but I'm sure I'll be on the crazy train later this week with OPKs
Starting around CD 12 sounds about right though! Depending on how many test strips you have, you may start around CD 10 just to be on the safe side. -
@bhbee: @jhd: @knittylady: @madisonbee: @dc yoga bee: Thanks guys
it's good to hear that the physical part was just normal. I know this is going to be easier than last time, where it was a three month long ordeal. It just gets hard to be hopeful after awhile that it will ever work out... I feel like it almost has to be an egg quality issue, given that everything else appears fine, and it's not like there is a fix for that...
-
@bushelandapeck: that sounds good!
-
@mrskansas: it does go by so fast
2 has been so much fun though.
-
@periwinklebee: sorry to hear
My number was only up to 317 today, so only up by about 100 three days after the last beta
I with the spotting and cramping all signs are pointing to early mc.
-
@skiierchck99: Oh no, I am so sorry
-
@mrskansas: I was a pack with 20 tests so I guess I could start tomorrow! Haha. I may hold off until Weds though since I'm pretty sure I don't O until CD 16-18.
@skiierchck99: oh no....I'm so sorry and I hope that's not the case!
-
@skiierchck99: oh no I am so, so sorry.
-
@skiierchck99: I'm so sorry
-
@periwinklebee: I know there is a test they can do to check your ovarian reserve. I was worried about it since I've had so many losses at a young(ish) age but mine came back normal.
I think more often than not, it's just bad luck. -
@skiierchck99: I'm so sorry. Man this Monday needs a do-over
@periwinklebee: I understand how you feel. I am going to hope you are like me (and many of us here) - you may have to try more times than average but the babies you eventually get are totally awesome
-
@periwinklebee: I started coq10 as my acupuncturist recommended it... supposed to be good for egg health!
-
@mrskansas: Thanks
I need to get that test done but my clinic requires your hcg to be below 2 to do it, which hasn't been the case for the past four months. I've heard it's a better indicator though of how you'll respond to IVF than it is of how long it will take to get pregnant naturally...@knittylady: I tried that for a few months last fall. I gave up, though, as it didn't seem to be doing much and my RE thought it was not useful. Who knows, though, maybe it works for some people...
@bhbee:
I hope so...
-
@skiierchck99: when is your next draw?
@bhbee: no kidding, this Monday seems like a bust.
-
@skiierchck99: I'm so so so sorry. Many of us on here have had losses. We are here for you.
-
@skiierchck99: I'm so sorry.
-
@madisonbee: Wednesday, but I'm having significant bleeding at this point so it's pretty much just confirmation. I'll have a good cry and some wine and more forward. After 2.5 years of BFNs though I'd say this sucks more because I had time to get hopes up!
-
@periwinklebee: @skiierchck99: I'm so sorry for the disappointing betas, ladies. Sending lots of
to you and 
for if/when you're ready to try again.
-
@skiierchck99: @periwinklebee: Sorry you guys =[ . Try to be kind to yourself, it is the best thing you can do for your mental health.
As for me, I'm out. I started spotting yesterday at 14DPO and today at 15DPO had a major temperature drop...onto cycle 13. I feel terrible, and tonight is passover...with my inlaws and the new baby. Here's hoping I don't cry at dinner.
-
@Tionn3: So sorry to hear
I know how you feel - I can't imagine wanting to see a baby right now.
-
@azjax: Thank you
@Tionn3: I'm so sorry... that really sucks.
-
@Tionn3: I know you've said your ILs are insensitive in the past, hopefully they will have some more tact this time. I think it is okay to cry!!! IF and loss are soul-crushing and you are absolutely entitled to have your feelings and express them.
-
@periwinklebee: Shit, I'm so sorry girl. Sending you so much love. Will you be able to find out if it was a CP/early MC or something else?
-
@skiierchck99: I'm so so sorry.
-
@Tionn3: So sorry. What a bummer.

@skiierchck99: Yeah. I've realized it's not so much seeing the baby that upsets me, I love my nephew, and I love spending time with him. What really hurts me is seeing my in laws and the rest of the family ignore my husband and me for the baby. We end up just sitting at the table quietly while everyone ignores us.
-
@Tionn3: That's true. For some reason I've always been fine with babies/children that I know but when I'm struggling stranger's babies make me sadder.
-
@dominobee: No one has called yet, I just saw my results online. Given the timing, and the fact that hcg went right back down, I think it's almost certainly a chemical pregnancy. I really hope that all I need to do is come back for a blood draw in a week or so, and they don't make me do draws every 48 hours until it completely falls or push methotrexate.
-
@periwinklebee: Good luck you to. I hope you, @skiierchck99 & @tionn3 can all take some time to be good to yourselves this week, whatever that looks like for you. Sending you all so much
-
@skiierchck99 @tionn3: I basically can't handle ANY baby around AF time. My good friends' kid is now about 20 months, and it's much easier to be around her now that she's in the toddler stage and isn't always the center of attention. I have two acquaintances in my social circle who are pregnant right now. I haven't had AF & been around them since I found out. If some sort of social event coincides in the future I might just skip it.
-
@skiierchck99: oh darn, sorry I missed the bleeding part.
sending you hugs and love.
-
@Tionn3: I'm sorry.
I hope the time with family goes as well as possible.
-
@dominobee: Thanks
it's a crazy work week for me and at this point I just want the week to be over. Hopefully AF will be here by the weekend. I wasn't expecting to get pregnant at all this cycle, but somehow having a CP makes me even more discouraged. After last loss I said next time I would be more optimistic. This time, I'm just dreading the next time around, even though I know it's a necessary pre-requisite for actually having a baby. Last time I made it to 10 weeks and the baby had three of every single chromosome, how messed up must the rest of my eggs have been to not make it nearly that far... I hope we'll eventually catch a good one but it also stresses me out that at the rate we're going this may happen only very rarely and of course Murphy's law would have it that this will be the one month we don't manage to try because of work schedules...I'm going to start traveling a lot less after the next two months and I hope this will help me to feel a bit more relaxed about TTC and life in general, but ugh...
-
@jhd: @skiierchck99: @periwinklebee: @dominobee: @azjax: Thanks guys. I hope tonight goes well too.
-
@skiierchck99: I didn't have 2.5 years of BFNs and I can't even imagine how hard that would be, but even compared to my much shorter string of bfns I find loss hard. With BFNs I would get them right before AF, feel really sad and disappointed for a bit, and then move on. Loss is a longer rollercoaster of emotion...and endured with out of whack hormones that make everything harder. Sending lots of
-
@periwinklebee: @skiierchck99: Aw crap. I'm sorry y'all.
@periwinklebee: Have you gotten back the detailed path results from your previous loss to rule out molar pregnancy yet? If not, maybe start pushing for someone to follow-up on that.

I have a small victory: I got a daycare slot for #2! Right now LO is in a great in-home daycare. I've been really happy with the care there, and they said they'll have a spot for #2 by the time we need one.
I do want LO to go to a more structured pre-school for a while before kinder, but, none of the pre-schools around here take toddlers less than 18mos and I am not interested in multi-location drop-off/pick-up. So, today I'm filling out waitlist forms for pre-school spaces for LO and proto#2 more than 2 years in advance. Hopefully that is enough time.
2 has been so much fun though.
I with the spotting and cramping all signs are pointing to early mc.
for if/when you're ready to try again.
