Hi Ladies,

Happy Holidays!

LogansMommy08: How are you sweetie? Is everything OK?

tcinks: FX'd for AF so you can start TTC'ing! Wow that feels wierd to hope for AF doesn't it? What did you decide to do about the fibroids?

Lele79: I agree with tcinks...if your period is normally light and the doctor isn't worried than you shouldn't be either. Mine is medium to heavy the first day then goes straight to light then spotting for a few days. When I was younger it was heavier,then medium then to light and done...none of the prolonged spotting...lol...maybe I'm just getting old. But everyone's cycles and AF are different.

AFM: Well, starting to think when I was feeling "under the weather", I was actually O'ing. Kicking myself for not temping for a few days...I was so tired and then I just forgot until I was brushing my teeth. Oh well. But, I think I O'd early because of the certain symptoms I am having...extreme fatigue, headache, low back and hip pain, sensitive nips, extremely thirsty, etc. I have 3 more OPK's so I will use those up and then it's mostly just a TWW'ing game. But in the meantime, DH & I will continue to BD throughout this week and if we made our window GREAT! If not, next month we are doing the IUI again. it ends up being just as successful as the last but sticks this time.

I am testing this weekend and next week, the days of celebration, just because I don't know when/if I O'd and I don't want to be going out celebrating and find out this month was successful.

Merry Christmas Ladies!

I am doing ok. I haven't had any cramping or bleeding of any kind. My pregnancy symptoms seem to be getting worse with every day that passes, so I want to take that as a good sign, but it's nothing I can bank on. The doctor seems to think it's another miscarriage but I have to wait 3 long weeks to get another ultrasound done :( I am trying to remain hopeful that everything is still progressing, but I'm so scared that I just don't know. I feel like if I keep hope that it will just crush me even more if it is another mc, but then again I want to hold on to that hope because I really want this little bean to grow healthy....I don't know what to think or do. I am running out of ideas to keep my mind off of it, so mostly I just try to sleep the days away. I don't know if the tiredness is pregnancy related or if I'm just depressed about it all. I think I have developed a genuine fear of going to the bathroom and finding blood. I have had no cramping to suggest this, but I just know blood is a bad sign. January 8th will be the day I will know for sure. I should be 9 weeks by then, so if I go back and no heartbeat is still the case I'm afraid it's a mc and I will have to go thru another D&C. Unfortunately, time will either be against me or for me but I still have over 2 weeks of waiting....I feel like I'm back in the dreaded 2ww.... My birthday falls on Jan. 2, and I'm just afraid I won't be able to enjoy it this year for being overwhelmed with fear. I really want to believe my little bean is just fine in there, but I don't know if it's true hope or if I'm just talking myself into it....this is so hard :( I wish every woman could have babies easily if she wanted to....it seems so unfair and it's so hard for me to not be resentful at the women who have babies and don't even want them, but I know that's not what God wants in my heart, so I try to not think that way, but dang it's so hard not to be envious...

I wish all of you ladies the best of luck! I hope everything goes well for all of you and you all get your rainbow babies very soon. If I'm not back on in time, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you all for thinking of me and my little bean and all the words of kindness you have all shown to me. I have you all in my prayers as well, and I have faith that our times will come. Merry Christmas ladies!

Oh honey I'm so sorry for what you're doing through:( I was almost in tears reading that, I can feel your anxiety and desperation. Why do you have to wait 3 weeks for another ultrasound? I know it's tough, just try to have hope! And keep us posted.

I know what you mean about people having babies and not even trying/wanting to. It's so frustrating. :/

I hope you can enjoy the holidays and your birthday without too much worry. :)

LogansMommy08: I am so sorry you are going through this. The stress and anxiety is so overwhelming. I fear the next time I will be going through the same thing. I pray I don't but it's hard to not think that way.

I am surprised that the doctor is waiting 3 weeks too but at the same time it's probably the same way my doctor would do it too. I see most women on here getting their blood tested every few days and my doctor does it in week intervals. The wait has to be the worst.

I hear ya on the feeling envious or jealousy. It's so hard to hear couples getting pregnant so easily, especially when they weren't even trying or wanting a baby. It is extremely hard to hear news like that and I am actually praying I don't hear anything like that this holiday, unless of course it's news for myself and us ladies here...but I don't think my emotions could handle it if someone in my family or friends were to tell me they got pregnant. I know how bad that sounds.

My prayers are with you sweetie and I hope you get your Christmas and Birthday wish. FX'd!

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! May we get our Rainbow Babies in this upcoming year.

I miscarried last Friday ( a weeks ago) at 5.4 weeks and my bleeding is all but gone. It was medium/light flow with no clots or pain.
Now we've put that one down to experiance and although we were very upset for a while we're now ready to try again.
I'm due to ovulate within the week so we'll try.
I'm assuming you do ovulate as normal????
Is the word about being more fertile after a miscarriage true or just a myth??
I now won't do a Hpt until I'm a week late... Saves the pain of knowing you were pregnant and miscarried. I've been 4 days late in the past- I never did Hpt and assumed it was a late heavy period. That too could of been a loss for all I know as normally my cycle is spot on.
My fertility app says I'll ovulate, as usual, in about 4-7 days..... Is the app correct? Does your cycle carry on as normal?
Thankyou in advance.
And sorry to all you ladies suffering or those that have suffered a loss.... No matter how early it hurts. X x x x x

I think the wait is over for me....just a couple hours after posting last (Dec. 23) I started bleeding pretty bad. Bright red, with clots :( The bleeding stopped overnight, which left a little hope that maybe it was just a spontaneous occurance, but also left me just feeling like the baby didn't make it. The next morning all the bleeding had stopped, but was followed by severe cramps for two days. Right now I am having no bleeding or cramping but I honestly don't know if I've lost the baby or not. I am going to keep my appointment on Jan. 8th just on the small chance that baby is still in there and is possibly growing normally. I don't expect this though. I fully expect to get to the appointment and be given bad news. I don't know why my body hates me....or what's wrong with it. I don't really have a means of sinking myself into testing as that would cost thousands....so I'm hopeful that maybe (if this is in fact a mc) this was just terrible luck of the draw. If it is another mc I intend on asking my doctor about my progesterone levels and see if maybe that's the problem? Thank you ladies for all your kind words and thoughts and prayers. I hope you all had a blessed and very Merry Christmas....Do any of you ladies have any new news? Anything good happening with you all?

ArtyMeDonnaB---I would say yes it does make you more fertile. I had a mc on October 25, 2014 and I found out I was pregnant again on December 2, 2014 with no period in between other than the bleeding from the mc. I am currently in a tough situation as I don't know if I am having another mc....I will know on January 8 for sure. My doctor told me that the last miscarriage didn't mean I was going to have another one, but only time will tell for me. I wish you the best of luck on catching that sneaky little egg! and to you! Hope you have a soon!

Logansmommy I am so sorry :( I hope you get some good news at your appointment. But if not at least I hope you get some answers for the future. You insurance doesn't cover any type of testing? Does your doctor check progesterone when they confirm the pregnancy?

Donna, so sorry for your loss and I hope you get your sticky baby soon! I have heard that you are more fertile, though some doctors recommend waiting one cycle before trying again and others say when you're ready.

I had a crazy 3 days of Christmas, but goof :) hubby and I are taking a little trip today to celebrate two year anniversary! So excited.

I am almost finished with my antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis , but that caused a yeast infection. Ugh! So now I'm on meds for that. I should have started my period this week but I've only had a little spotting. Kept hoping that might mean I'm pregnant, but all negative tests. I think the infection can mess with your cycles.

LogansMommy08: I pray the doctor has good news for you at your appt. Maybe instead of jumping into trying the next cycle, wait for a period this time and see what happens during your 2nd month? Maybe you are trying too soon? I think it's plus that you are at least getting pregnant...now the doctors just need to figure out how to make it stick.

ArtyMeDonnaB: I am so sorry for your loss. It really is a hard thing to go through. I know I took it hard and followed the nurses advice and waited until I had at least 1 period before trying again. The doctor told me that for some reason after a mc and live birth you tend to be more fertile upto 6 months after. it happens to us again real soon.

tcinks: Happy Anniversary! Where'd you end up going? My Christmas was a busy week/weekend too. It was definitely a long 3-4 days.

AFM: Well, starting to get slight cramps and that moist feeling "down there" some get right before AF shows up. Still hoping it's not but I had a feeling too that we might've missed our mark this month. Oh well...I guess only time will tell. I plan to test tomorrow morning because I plan to drink tomorrow night if it comes back negative. So I guess we will see. FX'd!

Have a wonderful New Years Eve and Day and I will chat with you next year! Hope we all feel like Queens in Pristine 2015!

My insurance only covers pregnancy....unless I get pregnant I can't use it. My doctor will check my progesterone levels next week, but I'm afraid it will be too late by then. I'm hoping (if unfortunately this is another mc) that I can be put on progesterone for the first 13 weeks to help sustain the pregnancy next time. But I have decided that if this is a mc that I won't be trying again for probably around 6 months. I just can't handle the pain of losing another little one. I am blessed with a 5 year old DS, so I may just call it quits. Maybe God is just trying to tell me that I need to be happy and content with the little miracle that I do have? I have no idea but all I do know is that this is a hard road and I doubt I will be blessed with another uneventful pregnancy again. As a mommy I am holding out hope that maybe I will be one of the lucky ones....one that is told from the start I'm going to lose it just to find baby with a healthy heartbeat later against all odds....1 live birth of 4 pregnancies....I don't think the odds are in my favor :( BUT only God knows if or when we will be blessed with another LO so I am just going to give it all over to Him and wait for his time.

tcinks---HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I hope the spotting is signs that you are pregnant and that you get your BFP very soon! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Lolo--Any news on testing today?? I hope you get your BFP!! I know the feeling of having a drink....if my appt on the 8th doesn't yield good news I totally see myself drowning my sorrows in a bottle one night....cry it out, sleep it off, and wake up the next morning with the intent to look forward. I hope you can skip that drink though :)

Donna---how are you doing honey? Any new news? I am still terribly sorry for your loss. I hope things are looking up for you these days and I sincerely hope that 2015 brings your rainbow baby :) Suffering a loss is tragic and hard to move on from, but we are all here to help you in any way we can. Hope to hear back from you soon!

2015 is right around the corner, and I want to wish you all a happy and healthy new year! I hope 2015 brings you all your rainbow babies with healthy pregnancies! 2015 has to be better for us (baby wise)! Good luck to all of us as we put an end to TTC in 2014 and move forward to TTC in 2015!
