Hellobee Boards

Hey ladies, sorry I've been away for a few days.

@jaguar: I feel like "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it anymore I'm so very sad for you, I so wish things would turn around

@Crystal: Good luck with the clomid!

@MaryM: I'm sorry about the 1 year mark, but I'm glad you had something to distract you. Good luck on selling your house and getting it ready!

@MaryM: I think that's wonderful logic.... But my view is probably a little skewed!

@jaguar: Thanks lady I have my moments where I'm bitter and mad but I try and stay as positive as I can in the situation. I so hope that you will be moving on in the very near future

AFM, I have my 3rd blood draw on the 11th and if it's negative we can finally start TTC again. Hopefully we can start to put this molar pregnancy business behind us. I'll never forget and I'll always be anxious it will happen again, but I feel like if I can focus my energy on the next step, maybe I won't be as sad.

@MaryM: So sorry to hear about your anniversary, and thankful that your WTF appt is getting closer and closer! Saw also that you're moving - new house, new town, new state? We moved about a year ago and I don't want to move again.... like, ever, haha.

@HappyBluebird: Yay for February! Have you been charting or anything to see where you'll be at in your cycle?

@Jaguar: only a week or so until Fiji, right?? If I were you I could probably be counting down the hours... that is how I am anyways

So I'm almost definitely coming to the end of yet another 40+ day cycle.... 3 out of 4 of my TTC cycles have been in the 40+ day range, and it is getting me down.

Looking for a bit of advice. During my loss, I had a detailed ultrasound done at the ER, and the tech noted "several small follicular cysts." I didn't think any of it at the time because I was so focused on the loss, and I googled it and it seemed to be no biggie... back then. Well, a 46 day and 44 day cycle later, I'm wondering if something is out of whack. My ob/gyn said to call him for tests/meds if my cycle is not back on track by early/mid March, but he doesn't know about the cysts because I forgot to tell him, and he's new to me. So.... is this something that warrants worry? Should I call, you think? At least to help them get my hospital records with the US notes?

@DesertDreams88: definitely mention it to your new doc just for the peace of mind. I was discussing cycles with my girlfriend, she currently has a 45 day cycle and is concerned about it also.

I just got a telephone call from my OB office.... he broke his leg!! all appointments are now passed on to a new doctor that is covering for him that I have never met before. I think im ok with it for now, the results will be the same whichever doctor tells me, but I'd like to stay with my own doctor for any future appointments. I'd hate to be a patient about to give birth and find out he won't be there

@jaguar: Do you have an escape plan? A buddy who knows how you feel who can go outside/to another room with you? A reason why you might not be able to stay very long?

That's the only way I (barely) made it through the shower I went to a month after my MC

@jaguar: I don't know if this will ever stop sucking. I think I will forever carry my scars, long after I have a child.

@DesertDreams88: can you call for an earlier appt in mid feb instead of waiting til March? I'm so sorry your body is acting up, FX something can be done.

@FannyMae: oh no! Did they say how long your OBGYN would be out?

@jaguar: how did the shower go? I have one in a few weeks I'm already dreading.

@MaryM: I vote you crochet mini batmans. As a means for packing, of course.

My OBGYN scheduled me for a hysteroscopy on feb 20th! Yay!

@DesertDreams88: It was after several cycles of spotting for several days before getting AF

my third cycle after MC I spotted almost the entire time, but they asked me to wait and see because my hormones could still be out of whack. I didn't try P until after 6 months and then several of them being wonky.

@jaguar: I think the build up is always worse than the events we dread. Glad it went ok! And YAY for vacation!!!

@HappyBluebird: I'm getting so excited for your last draw!

AFM, my WTF is actually next week (not this one), but I'm starting to look forward to it more. AF hit today so I'm officially officially at unexplained IF (it's been a year since my first cycle post MC and we didn't take time off).

My niece was diagnosed with celiac disease last week. My SIL and brother are being tested for the genetic link, but suggested the aunts and uncles consider having the antibody test too. So I plan to bring that up as well. I've had a decent share of symptoms, so who knows. I would love to find something definitive to diagnose, but at the same time, man that would be a hard change to make!

@jaguar: I know you are ahead of where I am, but I hope you are having/had safe travels to your vacation! Enjoy and I hope you are able to get some relaxing in!

@HappyBluebird: All the luck!!!

I had to call DH to figure out what on earth we were doing tonight.

He said earlier in the week he had tonight off, so I assumed he worked during the day. but he was still home when I left for work so I was so confused!

I think he's making steaks for dinner and we're staying in. Realizing how much we need to do to our house has made his purse strings a lot tighter! But tomorrow we're going to a habitat store to see if we can get any deals on second hand stuff before he goes to work. How romantic is that?

@HappyBluebird: I was surprised DH was ok with a night in. He's always wanting to get out! But after paying for our patio to be removed this week I think he's starting to feel it!

@jaguar: Glad you had a great trip!

I'm feeling a little "arg"y today. I was looking forward to my WTF appointment tomorrow...but of COURSE that would be the day we finally get snow. I'm trying to reschedule it now and it looks like it'll be put off at least a week if not longer.

@HappyBluebird: Well, I was able to reschedule for next Thursday (more than a week) but when I went to put it in my planner, realized I hadn't moved a meeting I scheduled last week to the calendar I was working from. So I have a feeling it's going to have to be even later.

@HappyBluebird: I don't think I can. It's with my boss' boss and for my thesis, so I'd hate to ask him to move it since he's sort of going out of his way already

Well I just got my blood work results from last Wednesday and I'm still negative! I'm having mixed emotions....I'm happy that we've gotten past the 3 month wait, but so incredibly nervous about another molar happening.

How I wish TTC was fun for everyone on this board and we didn't have to worry or try so hard. to all of you!

@MaryM: After having 1 molar, the chances are 1 in 100. If you've never had a molar pregnancy the chances are 1 in 1,000.

The 3 or 6 month wait is to monitor your hcg levels to be sure that the mole hasn't returned and become invasive or spread to other places in the body. They don't want you to get pregnant in those months because then your HCG would rise and they wouldn't be able to tell if the levels were pregnancy or disease related.

On the positive side, I have the less "serious" of the two and I dropped to negative on my own without needing chemotherapy. So in those cases I think the odds are little better. I have moments where I panic that this could be a genetic problem, but I try to remind myself that isn't usually the case and most women with molar pregnancies go on to have healthy babies.

How many inches of snow are they calling for there? I'm hoping that if we have to get, its enough to work from home.

@MaryM: Thanks, that's an amazing positive way to look at it! I will keep that in my head instead of the 1% chance it happens again. I don't know what I would do without you ladies

We are in the 3-8" zone. We've had quite a few busts this year so I'm never sure but this one seems to be coming whether I like it or not.

Working on any crochet if you get snowed in tomorrow?
