Ladies, looks like I'll be back to this forum after all, I miscarried last night at 8 weeks 5 days.:

[ItyBty]

: Sarahjen - I'm so sorry. : :

[Hezzy]

Oh SarahJen. : So sorry to see you back here.

[Tenk]

That is for everyone on here...I can totally relate to everyone when DH is "too tired" to BD and you just feel, if I can do it this day it will happen...but then he's tired...UGGGHHHH!!! Perfect example...Saturday night +++ OPK and tired DH...damn him.
to everyone feeling blue and thinking of giving up, we will support what ever decision you make!!!
Sarahjen I'm so so so sorry, and wish there were words to comfort you other than, a big hug

I have a question for everyone, if I had a +++ OPK on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, does that mean I O'd during those 3 days? or does that mean that I O" 12-24 hours AFTER the last +++ I got??? So confusing here...I would say the reason it was so long is b/c the clomid made me release more than one egg??? Thanks for the feedback in advance...

Tricia, and Stephanie hope you both feeling well today!!!

s to SarahJen. I'm so sorry, mama.

s to mommy_in_chaos too.

To add to the 'why is this stuff everywhere?' conversation - last night I was at rehearsal and we were planning the schedule for the next few weeks. One of our dancers mentioned that her birthday was Nov. 25 and that she was turning 26. I mentioned that I was turning 27 tomorrow (now today). She comes back with, did you know that 26 is the average age for American women to have their first child? I was dumbstruck... she had no idea that we've been trying, but what does one say to that? I made up some lame comment about doing my best to push it back, but really! One of my friends was there when this happened and said something later, like, wow, you can't catch a break, can you? Of all the random facts for her to pull out...

But it was better than having lunch with my mom and grandma yesterday. My mom was watching my cousin's 10mo baby, and loves to say something like, four generations all at one table. But just for birthday fun she added, Never thought that would happen, did we? What does that mean? Is she blaming me for waiting too long? Just bringing to light my potential infertility? She's mentally ill so I can't read too much into it, but come on.

While this is certainly not the worst day ever, and I'm feeling pretty good about this not being our month (I'm really just waiting for AF and trying to be calm) I did really think that I would at least be pregnant by the time I turned 27. I feel old. But that might have something to do with being at the studio for 7 hours yesterday.

Happy Birthday Anon!!

Oh, SarahJen. I am so sorry for your loss.
How are you feeling? It sounds like it just happened. Many good thoughts your way for a quick physical recovery and space to feel the grief.

: SarahJen - I'm so sorry...

and Happy Birthday to anonymousk!

[lilyflower]

Oh SarahJen, that is just very sad news and I am so sorry to you. I feel terrible about that. I hope you are doing okay. I wish I could be there to give you a hug.

Mommy in Chaos I am sorry about your CD1.

[ItyBty]

: Mommy_in_chaos : Sorry to hear that.


I'm freakign out (again) - I have to leave to go get a kidney ultrasound and a pelvic MRI in about 15 minutes. My HSG showed my uturus looks to be bicornate, and Dr wants to see it more clearly. Anyone else dealt with this? The hospitol I'm going to doesn't have an open MRI, do they have to put me all the way into the machine? I'm pretty claustraphobic. I took my wedding and engament rings off, I feel naked without em. I had to take my earrings off too. I feel weird. I'm not a big jewelry person, but I always wear my ring and this one pair of earrings that DH gave me when we were dating. I seriously almost never taken em out, and my rings are my thing I fidget with when I'm nervous, so I won't have my normal fidgety thing to play with at the Dr.

ItyBty, They may have to put you all the way in the machine, I had a lumbar MRI and did feel sort of claustrophobic. One thing - keep your eyes closed before they even put you in and keep them closed the entire time. Do not open your eyes. There is absolutely plenty of air and everything, but I opened my eyes and got kind of freaked out, even though you could just slide right out if you needed to. That is my advice. They don't take too long and are painless!

Tenk, that is weird. I would just keep at it!!!

Funnygrace, Match Point was terrible - I was so mad watching it. What a terrible mood movie for you and your DH!!!

[ItyBty]

Thanks Lily - I'm leaving now.... eeeeeeeeeeeek! :

[HopesMom]

SaraJen--I am so very sorry! You are in my thoughts.

Good luck Itybty!

And happy birthday anonK! Does it help that 27 sounds so young to me??

[oceanmommy]

OMG SarahJen, I am so sorry to hear about your loss.:

What is there to say ? there are no words for sorrow like this. I am sorry.


I had a MC with my first PG, it was a little earlier than yours at about 6-7 wks. I remember someone telling me that it would be easier to get pg and make it stick now that my body was "ready" and into pregnancy mode. 6 months later we conceived dd. I hope your story gets its happy ending soon. I was advised to wait a couple months before ttc again but if I had a MC now I wouldn't wait. I've heard you are extra fertile in the couple cycles following it.

How are you holding up ? we're here for you mama.

[oceanmommy]

I am running late, I will have to do personals later except...


Theresa, I am so sorry to hear about CD1.: that sucks, your chart was lovely.


ItyBty Good luck with your MRI. I have done the tube one and I did not like it. Grit your teeth and close your eyes and count the seconds till it's over ? Mine was really loud in there too, but it was like 15 yrs ago hopefully they are quieter now. I also had valium ahead of time.


AnonK Happy Birthday ! 27 sounds young to me too... a great age to ttc for sure. Nice young eggs.:

[lilyflower]

SarahJen
Again, I just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you today.

[SarahJen]

Thank you all for your thoughts. It was a rough weekend, I started spotting on Thursday, had an ultrasound and beta on Friday. The u/s showed that the development was only for six weeks and I knew my dates weren't off. The results from the beta were also too low. Sunday I was cramping and bleeding badly and by Sunday night it was all over.

Physically I'm feeling ok, sort of weird and crampy and tired from being up all night but I think I knew in my heart last week when all my preg symptoms started disappearing that something was just not right. I'm not as depressed as I thought I'd be, just sad and disappointed and a little regretful that I told so many people irl that I'll have to un-tell now. I saw my doctor today and she advised to wait a full cycle before TTC again which is disappointing but I'm sure there's a reason for it. After that though, she just said go for it. DH has already said he's "getting out his punch card" so he'll be ready to go on shift, I'm extremely lucky to have such an wonderful guy to lean on.

You're an amazing bunch of ladies, I'm glad I had a soft place to land where people understand what I'm going through without judgment and thoughtless comments.

Happy Birthday anonk! Oddly I was just thinking last night about my birthday coming up in the new year and how I was sure I'd be pregnant before it rolled around.

Good luck to you, ItyBity! Hope you get some answers with the testing.

I finally found out about my blood work from two weeks ago. My doc had me get a complete metabolic panel done plus testosterone and DHEA and I asked to repeat the progesterone. I think she was looking for signs of PCOS since I have acne. My glucose was 79 - definitely no insulin resistance there. Progesterone was nearly 14 (she checked a couple months ago and it was 8.7). So I don't think PCOS is a possibility. I never did actually talk to my own doctor though (her partner in practice called me). I might make a follow up appointment for when I expect AF.

I'm excited that I'm having EWCM. Definitely too far into this whole TTC thing when you get excited over that!
