cd 10 waiting...

I am in shock from all the m/c there have been lately. I am so very sorry and sad for all of you who are returning here. I hope you have the support you need and heal quickly.

All of the recent m/c are making me nervous about trying again with another pregnancy... well, actually, I was/am already nervous that I will m/c again, but we are going to try this month anyway. It really feels different than when we were trying with the one we lost.

Anyway, here's baby dust for all of us.

Dani- mine are only 3 days avg.
I conceived DS with short AF's.

[chiromama]

Laura, gloom away, sistah! don't ever apologise for being sad here (remember we all signed a manifesto about that a few months ago!) You have tons of love to give and you will have another baby to give it to.... You still have love to send to the soul that would have been this baby.. let him/her go with love. and gloom here all you want!
Remember to drink a lot of water, and cry your f-ing eyes out if you have to.... eat a lot of chocolate too !

[sweetpeasmom]

Thanks Korin. Yes I've been drinking lots of water and I already ate half a bag of whoppers eggs, of course that could be whats giving me the cramps. I've been crying all day, got a headache from it. I need to go eat an iron enriched meal. I'm easily prone to anemia, so i know with all this blood loss, so I'm gonna eat lots of iron the next few days.

I hope this is the end of a bad streak and there are many future sticky babies to come.

[Parker'smommy]

Lisa, Laura, and Tara- Im sending lots of cyber hugs your way... Feel free to vent your frustrations to your fellow ttc sisters. We understand and love you all!!!

Adina - Im sorry for the bfn....but its not over till the fat lady sings, right????

Who else is testing soon? Jay? Alexis?


Well, Im cd20, 3 dpo and viola I have the beginnings of a yeast infection, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Can this affect anything if I have conceived??? I hope not. ugh, I havent bought anything yet, as ds is napping and I wanted to check with you guys that anything I use as far as otc remedies might affect a potenital pregnancy. ugh....Did I tell you how much I HATE yeast infections?????? I only get them 1x a year or so but they royally suck...........

To make matters worse, dh and I have been gio a lot so I probably gave it to him too, sorry babe!!

And Oh, happy note. Today is me and dh's 10 year anniversery of our First date!!! I cant believe we've been together for 10 years....its been a roller coaster of a ride, but a fun ride nontheless.

[chiromama]

Heather... I don't know much about using OTC stuff for yeast while TTC, but I'd call a naturopath.. there are lots of natural safe remedies for yeast. I think Shannonsaid she made yogurt popsicles and used them as suppositories!

[Ravenmoon]

I'm testing on Sunday.

For me a yeast infection is the first sign i am pregnant.I have never had any yeast infection excpet for pregnancy #1,#2 and #3.

I had one this month after O'ing.So i am hoping it is my sign.

Acidopholous(take as much as you can but if you start diarrheing cut back).Yogurt(no sugar,plain flavored)in a plastic glove and freeze and use them as suppositories.There is an herbal yeast suppository by Weleda that is good.My midwife always said Monistat is the safest for TTC,pregnancy,breastfeeding.

[annakiss]

mucho s to Tara and Laura. I'm so sorry for your losses. Feel whatever you need to feel.

I can't believe the number of m/c lately! Can I just say that this sucks!?!? I can't even imagine...

Heather, I'd go with the yogurt. You can use it unfrozen as well if you don't want it that cold. It helps to get one of the things from the OTC yeast infection packages to insert it with though. Also remember to wear a pad to catch it as it falls out! It's good to take acidopholus as well. Grapefruit seed extract works great too, though I'm not sure if the acidity would be too much w/ a pregnancy or not - I don't see why not.

I think I might be ovulating soon. I've really got to get back to reading TCOYF, I'm so clueless. I had a bit of spotting today when I checked my cervix, which was, btw, nice & soft & open-ish and high (or is it low? the terminology seems backwards to me : ) and everything is quite wet though there's no EWCM yet, which I know for sure that I get pretty heavily, though that seems to be way at the end and as far as I can tell, my cycles are pretty much on the long-end. (whew! run-on sentence!) On the otherhand, my period was 9 days including the end spotting nonsense, and that was just 2 days ago! I'm so confused. I don't know what any of this means. I've been reading TCOYF, but it all seems like more general information and I'm not getting a clear picture of how to read my own signs. Is my cluelessness normal in first-time chart-ers(?)? Am I doing this right? Should I just go on fertility friend so that someone can tell me what the heck is going on?

[shannon0218]

I've meant to mention this earlier as well, for those of you who don't follow the preg and birth loss board. Jesse (wan2bemamma) has also miscarried (she posted on the preg and birth loss thread) wasn't sure at first whether to let anyone here know, but perhaps you guys could go see her post and send her your thoughts and an invitation back here with us (if she's lurking--we're thinking about you and you're more than welcome here)
Feeling really down today, it may be the major dose of steroids that my rheumatoligist just pumped into me this morning but I think it's just my mood. I'm so sad for all of you who have had recent losses, I actually do know how you feel and I feel it all over again with you. It gets better and you do feel human again but it takes some time.
So to Tara, Laura, Lisa, Mary, Kate and Jesse, I'm thinking of you constantly and hoping so much for you to feel better soon. I don't know what else to say, isn't that strange, I've done it twice and I still don't know what to say. I suppose just to you all.

[chiromama]

No!!!! not Jesse! Oh, I'm so sad! i'll go look for her post and give her my love. WTF! why so many mc right now???

[alexisyael]

Oh my gosh, Laura and Tara!!!! How awful! I really really really (add in about 50 million more reallys) wish that this hadn't happened to either of you! Life is not fair in the slightest sometimes, and that just plain old sucks!



As long as I've been here (since Oct) there's never been this many m/c in a week... or maybe there were and our ladies just didn't come back immediately to tell us. I don't know. I do know that I am SO relieved and happy to be part of this TTC community where we are supportive no matter what! Through the laughter and the tears...

Can't have one without the other, right? ::sigh:: at least that's what I tell myself.

Adina -- yes, that's what happened when my half-sister's dad sued for custoday when she was 11. The judge asked both them to agree to paternity. I have to say I'm in favor of that particularly complicated legality in some respects, b/c it does sometimes stop a$$holish ex-boyfriends from making spurious (or vengeful) custody claims. (My best friend has been afraid for a long time that her ex or his parents will make such a claim).

I hate to say it, b/c I know people have very strong opinions on it, but this is one reason why it is really in everyone's best interest to get married when they have a child. I know it would be great if our marriage laws (in the US) were more like Canada, and open to everyone, but unfortunately, they are not. Still, there's lot of legal reasons why both parties of a couple are better off married.

Anyway, I also have a yeast infection today (itching!) and am going to try the yogurt suppository trick before I resort to using the OTC Monistat I have. (Bought after I got Af and was on antibiotics, but somehow never got yeasties then... )

Other than that, my temps are still up, which could be the lingering bladder infection. I have to say that I'm really not thinking much at all about it right now, b/c I'm so upset about "the miscarriage trend" -- my heart goes out to each of you!

May we all have lots and lots of sticky dust the next time (or this time, as the case may be)!

PS. Denise, yes, I obsesss over wheter my period was really a period, or "implantation spotting." I have to say that the extremely light spotting I had yesterday (3-4 drops of blood, which never made it to my panties, but were only near my cervix) was nothing like anything I've ever experienced, and gave even my dh hope! Though I'm also trying to not get too excited...

[alexisyael]

Jesse

I hope she comes over here for a grouphug too. Though it must be so hard...

CD 16, 2 DPO

Oh Laura and Tara - huge s. My heart aches for your losses. Take care of yourselves.

Alexis - tried pm'ing you - your mailbox is full.

Another thing that helps with treating the symptoms of a yeast infection (check out if it's ok while pregnant - this I do NOT know) is to get a tampon wet with tea tree oil (I was told a few drops, but found I needed it to be pretty saturated to work), and leave it in for a while. Take care not to do it too often - it can irritate. Or a couple of acidophilus capsules - they will disolve inside.

Adina - so sorry about the BFN. I, too, will KHA for you. s

wow. a is in order, I'd say.

And lots and lots of !!!

[AdinaL]

Alexis - Legally it would have been better if they had gotten married. But she pretty much screwed her ex hubby as well, so I am not sure that would have helped him out as much as we think, other than not having to go through this step. And frankly, I wouldn't have wanted one of my best friends married to someone who was that horrid to him. It is such a tough situation. I am just sad that she decided to approach it this way. I just wish people could be more grownup when dealing with situations like this. I know he isn't perfect, and he can be an ass at times, but can't everyone? He has done nothing but try and make his gf happy, and take care of his daughter since she was born. Gf's priorities just changed. I am more worried about him, it should be okay to get him joint physical custody, but I am concerned about his mental state.

[Jessviola]

boy am i freaking out now.....i can't believe all the bad news here....i can't believe this has happened to so many of you

huge i'm so sorry for all your losses. healing vibes going out to all of you.

[tarablesue]

Thank you everyone,for your hugs and kinds words... You know what sucks the most?? I told all of my friends and family and now I am telling them the bad news...but it is also nice to have the IRL support too, but I still feel guilty for some reason.... : : ( Bailee was testing the smileys :LOL)

Laura I am sorry for your loss, as well as mine ...DAMNIT ! I am so hurt... I have cried so much today that I am all cried out... I am numb and my gosh I was only 7 weeks! I cannot imagine what those of you have experienced past this point and :gulp those of you who have had babies that were stillborn....oh my heart aches so much for us all

and I just keep rambling...... Gosh sticky vibes to our graduates, dust to those trying/ waiting and healing vibes for us who have lost....

[taradt]

((hugs)) Tara and Laura i am very sorry for both of you, it is a very hard thing to go through. make sure you guys take good care of yourself. the pregancy and birth loss section is full of many wondeful woman who have been there as well if you want to talk about it, of course yo uare more then welcome to talk about it here as well.

Adina - sorry about the BFN, i am hoping it was just too early to test. and that really sucks about your friend, his ex sounds worse then our friends ex and i really didn't think there was anyone more evil then her out there... hopefully things work out, but either way it is going to be very hard for him to be seperated from his daughter my heart hurts for him, why can't people be grown up when relationships end sigh....

Shannon - people sure do get nuts around weddings... evil spiteful me would tell her i was bust that night she should have checked sorry, and to feel free to have the shower without you or to pick a better day i was lucky, with having the wedding across the country most family didn't show up, and those that did weren't here for the planning. (good thing too because it was a vegetarian buffet that i prepared)

i can't remember who was asking about testing... i am scheduled to test on sunday i had to dig out my fat pants today even though i am pretty much the same weight as before, i also had a vivid dream last night about delivering a baby on the anniversary of my miscarriage and the baby said something about april 4th which freaked me out when i looked at a calander this morning and realized the 4th was when i ovulated.. so those are my phsyco symptoms of the day

tara

[djs_girl517]

healing vibes to everyone.

[alexisyael]

?

Can anyone with some knowledge of the board tell me why my PM box is "full" when I deleted all the messages yesterday??? This is way too weird. At least they tell me who tried to PM me, and I can get ahold of them other ways...

[AdinaL]

Alexis - go to the sent items box...and empty that!
