TY all for the warm welcome, Im just praying my SO and i get pg as easily as we did in December - we werent even trying, man, that was a first for me- my other 2 came after years of trying for each!
Hi all! Remember me? I hung out here for a year before finally becoming pregnant. Ds #3 was born almost two weeks ago. He's beautiful and healthy and wonderful. We are all still awestruck.
For those who don't know me, I had my first child at 37, my second at 39 (conceiving easily each time) and then took over a year to conceive this time. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen - when it did! (I'm 42 now.) So......hang in there! Baby dust and best good wishes to all of you!!!

Tho the family "curse" is all boys in February (my dad, both my grandpas, my sister's 2 boys, my nephew, DS's due date - all Feb. No girls that month.) and we are hoping for a girl to give DS a little sister. By tradition, this would be a boy too. :LOL The hardest part about having another boy will be picking a name.
I am CD13 and EW CF! Yippee! some fertile CF yesterday too - so nice weekend timing, I will be really surprised if we are able to conceive, first reg cycle after the m/c but wouldnt that be cool- not obsessing not obsessing....
Thanks all for good wishes. Keep your fingers crossed for me. After 3 or 4 (lost count!) MCs you just never know. This time I am not even going to tell my sister til we get past the 7 wk ultrasound.
I go for an HCG level tomorrow morning, not sure when I'll get results but it will give me an idea of how it's gonna go this time. Then 2nd HCG monday or tues.
Catherine, we conc'd DS the first cycle after MC and I know several mamas that that has happened to. So good luck! We blew it this last time b/c we had houseguests and just couldn't "get the job done." This is 3rd month after.
Looking forward to hearing everyone else's updates this month, as usual... Maybe this time will be it for everyone! I just think it would be so cool if a bunch of us did it in the same month.
Congrats to you GM. I got a bfp too. Found out on Saturday. If all goes well my due date is beginning of February.
It's spring ladies so it could happen to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!
My beta numbers are good so far, back again tomorrow for more numbers hopefully higher!!!!!!!!
Sticky vibes to all of you girls.

I had very good HCG number on Saturday and went for another blood draw this morning and they will call w/ results this afternoon. I am a kinda worried b/c just like last time, I have had no symptoms the past few days, whereas I was having them before.
We'll see... don't be so quick to scoot me off this board.
Must be the spring thing... Best of luck Catherine.
I did read somewhere that spring is better for conception. Who knows how legitimate a source it was, and I can't remember the rationale, but it sounds good, right?
We got good news this afternoon - HCG levels up to 1030, were 362 on Sat. So now we wait til the 7 week ultrasound to see how things are going. I am going to wait til then to go onto a birth club board, I am just not trusting this thing! Once bitten, twice shy I guess. Then next step amnio - not til 17 wks tho - which will be the final hurdle for us.
I have read that higher HCG levels as early as the 3rd week po are linked with a female baby, but they can also be a marker for increased down's syndrome risk if they are still high later on. Hmmmm.
Ya know whats odd? After my loss in April, if Im preg again soon I dont even want to GO to the dr...I need to know my BP is fine, but i can do that at home - I should get the nuchal screening done at 12 weeks i guess, but maybe not, what about just calling for an appt about 20 weeks and going form there, lol - I dont know why but i feel so much like i would just like to take extra good care of myself and not get med care for the first half - crazy huh?
Maybe the head in the sand approach cause if there is a prob b4 20 weeks, like there was last time, they cant 'fix' it anyway - im sure my tune will change if i actually conceive, but those are the thoughts running through my head at the moment, lol
Catherine, I feel the same way--that I wouldn't seek care for a while--at least 3 or 4 months, for me. With my other pregnancies, I was attached immediately--but imagining being pregnant again after the m/c, I just keep feeing like I wouldn't be able to trust it, yk? I wonder if that all changes after you actually become pregnant? hmmmm.
Velveteen, I too have been wondering what to do...another month of perfect timing, and yet, here I am. Dh's counts came back--all is well. There's nothing more for us to do but what we've been doing for the past 3 years.
