Trying not to read into anything, but just super aware of the aches I'm having. I'm actually thinking about taking something just to relieve this achiness, and I'm not quick to take meds for anything.
Hoping this next week goes quickly...
Sorry about your BFN, but you are a little early. When I was pregnant with my son, I was negative until 14dpo...and even then it was so faint I almost didn't believe it. I waited and tested 2 days later. He's almost 8 years old.
I'm here, just trying to get this through this rough patch. I've never tried to get pregnant before until now so I never expected having to go through a loss (as I'm sure no one ever does) and I definitely didn't think I would take it this hard. I know it's only been a month and I need to give myself time but I feel like I'll never get through this. it's so hard being surrounded by so many friends and family being pregnant and/or recently giving birth to beautiful healthy babies. I don't know and never will know what went wrong but I do feel blessed enough to have been given the opportunity to be a mom (even if it was only for 11 weeks). I'm still fearful to try again but I know I want to try again. I'm a little confused about my af because on the 7th I bleed a little for only half the day and then that's it. I'm not sure if that's normal after having a d&c a month ago on 10/8. so if anyone has any insight please share any advice or info. I don't know how long most people wait before they try again. my doctor gave me the clear to start again once I get af.
but enough about me. continued baby dust and good luck to everyone in the ttw period. and congrats to anyone who has had success may you continue to be blessed and have a healthy pregnancy and babies.
As far as your first AF after a D&C, it makes sense that it would be light, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
As for me, I have my blood test on Thursday but, again, I'm feeling crampy like AF will arrive. This is it for us for a while...IVF is next and we will need to save some money.
JJZFamily-fingers crossed you get good news today. Sending good vibes your way.
Corinne-any updates?
As for me we did an IUI on the 7th. I took a pregnancy test this morning because I have all of the symptoms and it was positive
I am currently almost 10 weeks pregnant with triplets. Many of you know we have a daughter who is 5 that my wife carried using the same donor, and in February, I delivered our son stillborn at almost 29 weeks.
It's risky, it's scary, they are pushing for us to reduce which we cannot bring ourselves to even entertain...
So, to all of my TWW mommas we ask for your prayers...
Being a mom is important enough to me that I am also looking into foster-adopt. I should be licensed for placements in January.
I don't post much right now, but I still keep up with the post. Your journey is truly inspiring and I wish you all the best.
TX, hoping to hear some good news for you and placements this month. Fingers crossed for sure. Keep us up... :0
I'm 16 weeks today and so far everything is good. Fingers crossed.
OMG POT I was just thinking about you the other day and had to come on here to check for any updates. i'm so happy that everything is going well so far. You and your family have been in my prayers. Continued happy and positive thoughts.
TX- I hope you are also doing well and started receiving placements. Good Luck!
I finally decided to buy 2 more vials right before the new years and price increase lol. I know have a totally of 3 vials and I am planning to stick to my same timeline as before. I am thinking about trying again with my May cycle at the earliest. I really would like to have a March/April birth to fit with my work schedule and have maximum amount of maternity leave to spend with the baby before going back to work. My other concern with not trying sooner is that March is very hectic for me at work and I don't want the added stress of ttc during a time that I know I will not be relaxed and happy.
Anyways enough about me. I wish everyone the very best and lots of baby dust for everyone. xoxo
Kerri are you going to find out the genders?
I have an appt on the 29th with my RE to discuss doing another cycle. Evah is almost 5 months and I can't believe that I'm ready to have another one.
Lisa
A girl (Baby A) and two boys (B and C). Assuming that everything stays good with this pregnancy, this is our LAST! We were trying for one more since we lost Thatcher and ended up with three little angels.
Lisa, you ended up using RBA didn't you? I am thinking Dr. Toledo? We used Shapiro again, LOVE him and that clinic.
How is it going for everyone else?
Any luck with 4417 ahayden? My wife and I have a 2 year old son by 4417. We would like to get in touch with others that have had success or are using this donor..we have met 3 other families that have used 44q7. If you want to, you can email me at k.gordon82@Yahoo.com. My name is Kim
Got my BFP today on a digital test, but now I'm worried I tested too early. It's 11 dpiui. I hope everyone else is doing well.
So.... ????
