Hellobee Boards

@Silva: Last time I called when I was like 3W4D pregnant. But I have a history of low progesterone and wanted to be put on it ASAP. (The doctor actually gave me the script the day I was seen and said to take it right away even before the blood test results were back)

If it will ease your mind to call, definitely call.

@LCTBQE: I'm sorry you had a tough long weekend too. This time of year can be so tough. I also would have preferred to be at work!

@Silva: Congrats!! I would call. Maybe they can get you in earlier this time.

So I called. I go in Monday for an HCG test, and then they will use that info to schedule a viability scan. The scheduler is also going to call me soon to schedule a regular prenatal/standard scan, to avoid them getting booked up.

@LCTBQE: Here's some B12 info -- https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/vitamins-and-miscarriage/vitamin-b12. I don't know how legit it is, though, but who knows. I was also told that being unable to properly absorb B12 can be a symptom of having the MTHFR gene which sucks.

I get my bloodwork back tomorrow and have my pap done. Looking forward to at least hearing how the bloods turn out. Last night sucked, so much, and today started with nobody getting any sleep, my kid getting turned away from daycare and me having to take a day off to bring her in to the clinic for viral pinkeye which can't be treated, and a broken vehicle. I'm trying to decompress right now, which is somewhat working, and I'm hoping we can get back on track at least for my upcoming fertile week.

It's so hard to not get stuck in the frustration of the moment, and keep looking ahead.

@catlady: mine came up in a regular blood test once and now I ask for it knowing that it's usually low! I can tell when it's lagging, because my energy goes away completely.

All of my blood work came back within normal ranges! I'm surprised about the b12 but I'm going to keep supplementing just in case. The NP told me that when I get pregnant she will try to see me every two weeks till I get out of the first tri to help with anxiety, and she'll book an earlier ultrasound. I hope I get to take her up on that offer soon.

@MrsDragon: Good luck to you! Sounds like a great NP.

@MrsDragon: I'm glad everything came back within normal limits! It's nice to have your NP on your side. Good luck this month!

Thanks everybody! You were all so supportive during all of this, and it means the world to me. I'm wishing for good luck for all of you.

@LCTBQE: haha! Well we are moving countries too (NZ) so the house is just a bit item in the to-do pile! Super relieved though. I too am hopeful for good news! Fingers crossed for us all!

I'm sorry you gave to sit this one out, that's got to be tough but at least you'll be fully ready to go next cycle! New year, new luck! Xx

Got my blood drawn again and it came back <5 which is non pregnant level. It is quite a relief to me. I feel like this saga is over. Now I just wait for Ovulation or AF. I'm not sure really how this works. It has been 7.5 weeks since my mc so hopefully my cycle returns soon. Our consultation at the fertility clinic is Dec 21 and it would be nice to have AF back by then.

@delight: Finally some good news for you! Hope AF returns quickly now!

@LibbyLou: oh you poor thing, that sounds so, sooo crappy I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Hugs to you. Hope you get to treat yourself somehow soon. Xx

@Zbug: sorry to hear that. I tend to avoid FB these days, just too stressful in a way! Hope you're doing ok. I'm somewhere in my tww and feeling completely normal, so just don't know what to make of it. Plus I'm seeing literally everyone pregnant. Girl who works at our local cafe, lady who sold me a dress yesterday & about half of my LO's music class.

@Nutella: I'm also in my tww. I'm not super optimistic due to last month's CP, but I always feel at least a little hopeful in the tww. And, yes, everyone is pregnant. EVERYONE.

@LibbyLou: sorry you had to deal with that. I wanted to bail on my high school friends Xmas party. My best friend is due within three weeks of what my due date was and another friend is pregnant too. I ended up going because I knew DD would have fun with the other kids. It's so hard tho. I totally relate.

@jaguar: what's your latest update? So sorry you still have HCG in your system. I hope you get things figured out soon.

Still waiting on AF. I have had no signs of ovulation since my mc. I just wish I could get this show on the road so we could try again

@delight: Number at 17. Dropped from 25 the week before. (And 22 the week before.)

On Provera, trying to induce a withdrawal bleed & hopefully flush any microscopic tissue with a forced period. Praying it's over by Christmas. I should be 10+ weeks pregnant, instead, I'm just here.

@Zbug: I'm the same - I've def stepped back from a lot of them but I think thankfully they've done the same!

Just came back from an appt with a naturopath/acupuncture person who is supposedly from a really good clinic. But was disappointed again (2nd visit) - she seemed so young and lacking in experience! Plus straight after the acu she barrels in the door asking a million questions about my day/where do I buy my organic veggies from and the like. Totally killed my buzz and was the opposite of how I like to feel after forking out lots of money! Found myself rebooking but will def be cancelling!

My old clinic are on the other side of the city but are so much more pro! Hate it when you learn things like this after spending money!

@delight: It's agony. I finished Provera two days ago, so now it's just a waiting game. Bet you it still takes forever. My body is hopeless! How are you doing?
