Pregnancy Info HOME

Punkin01- I wish we all live close by you so we could be there for you in person. I am sending you a big hug. clindholm - okay i really don't know too much about temping either I just been taking it from cd 1 well I did start the opk test strip on cd 10 it was neg on cd 11 it was neg cd 12 & 13 I got a faint positive on the test line but the direction said it was neg and that would have been too early anyway cd 14 & 15 neg cd 16 faint positivie again but cd 17 it was a BFP today cd 18 it was neg again. Should I test for a few more days or let today be the last day for this cycle? Als I did bd on cd 13-15 and then cd 17 dh had to go to a funeral so he will be home tomorrow.Krissy68

Good morning ladies- hope everyone is well. Krissy- I used to just test til I got the positive, but maybe it's a good idea to test for another day or two to be sure. After awhile I stopped using them b/c I knew I O'd on cd15 and they're sooo expensive. I also thought a dip in temp meant O? I think fertility friend has all that info. Bunny- how are you lovely lady? Punkin- please know that we will all be sending you huge hugs and much love on Friday (and every other day). I can't imagine it will ever get easier. I'm sorry you got af, I bet your cycles are still straightening out after the surgery. Is the hsg the dye test to check for blockage? If so, I have heard of alot of bfp's happening on the very next cycle as if it cleans out the tubes and helps stuff really flow along. Well on Monday 6/2 I have to go for the NT scan to see if there are any markers for Downs or Trisomy, please send any prayers you can my way! Talk to you all later. Colleen

clindholm - I took my last opk test on cd 18 and it was neg I got the pos on cd 17. I haven't tested any more. I not really sure with FF cause I put in my information about the cervix and all that and it is saying I didn't ovulate but I know I did so I was wondering if I go back and just put NA for all the CM and cervix stuff will it make a difference. As of right now my stomach is feeling really quesy and a little bit nausuated don't know why. I am going to see if the gyn will do a pg test on tuesday even though AF isn't due until Jun 10. I am keeping you in my prayers, stay positive and keep your faith your baby is perfect. Krissy68

Hi ladies, Colleen, thankyou for asking about me; i'm fine. Doc called me yesterday to let me know the reason for the miscarriage. During the d&c, they took a tissue sample of the embryo; found out that my chromosomes were abnormal. They were 16 & 18. For those of you who don't know, if the chromosomes are more or less than 46 (23 from the mother, and 23 from the father), they are abnormal. Since I really didn't understand what she was talking about, when she told me these chromosome #'s, I did a yahoo search on abnormal chromosomes; which is how I got my answer. Also, by sending some of the tissue to the lab, they were also able to find out the s_x that my baby would have been; it was a little girl. I guess the time of demise was between 5-7 (perhaps sooner) weeks. Oh well, makes it a little more depressing ---- to know what the s_x of the baby was. Colleen, hope all goes well with your test on Monday. Good to hear from you Krissy. If things don't work out for you this time, don't stop trying. Take care all, 3babies

Hey Krissy- I agree about FF- it had me with "fertility not detected" b/c I did not have ewcm! The freakin nerve! Do you always get the + on cd17 or does it vary? Bunny- I'm so sorry that finding out has brought the pain back, it does make it worse knowing what it (she) would have been. It is good to know that it is nothing you or dh have done or could have done to change it. Punkin- just want you to know that we're thinking about you and sending you (((((hugs))))) on this very difficult day. Colleen

3_babies_at_41 - I am so sorry you are hurting right now but know it wasn't your or dh fault. I am not going to stop I think I will try until my next birthday. I go to the dr on tuesday. I called my insurance provider and ask about fertility treatment and they said they will pay for 50% but this is what is not covered ART, GIFT, IVF, ZIFT, Sprem Donation, Egg Donation and Fertility Medicines but I know that clomid is covered so I am not really sure what meds they are talking about. clindholm - I think I normally ovulated on cd 18 like clockwork. I know today I am 3dpo and my stomache is just feeling really quesy it has been this way for 3 days and now I am started to feel tired. I am going to try and hold out until the day AF is due please give me willpower to due this LOL. Krissy68

Everybody have a great weekend. I can't wait until next week for updates from everybody. Krissy68

Hi Ladies, Sorry.. I only drop in once and a while here becasue I go to the ttc over 35er board :) But I just want to say how sorry I was to read your post 3 babiesat41. Sorry to hear of the genteic issues and also the loss of your baby girl. When I lost my baby at 14 weeks they also did genetic testing and they told me my baby was a girl as well..:( This is so disheartening. I did not have gentic issues but there was "something" not right all the same. The only upsdie is I did conceive 2 months after my D&C..and I even had retained placenta..while I conceived as I was bleeding for 21 days post D&C and then my next af was 16 days..My little girl Zoe is here today as proof she was a little fighter. I would also like to mention I viewed punkins website of her little guy who past. What a sweet little darling..My heart breaks thinking of your situation and what you and your family has been through. I think about your little guy often..it is even very hard for me to talk about it..I am so sorry..I can only imagine how you must be feeling yourself. I just want you to know your little guy is such an angel. May God Bless his lttle soul. I wish you all here the best ttc...and again I am sorry for the losses we have all had to undertake..But I hope we are all able to conceive again. BABYDUST GALS!!

hey guys!!! I added pics from Joshua's balloon release to his site if you would like to check it out....we sent up balloons with notes attatched....we ate cake ans sang "Happy Birthday" to him...no other family showed up p__sed me off....DH's mom my monster-in-law said she "forgot" wth how do you forget your grandsons birthday????? anyway it is sad that we have such wonderful friends online that sent us so many well wishes on that day and OUR FAMILY can't show up anyway colleen how was your DR appt today? 3 babies I am so sorry you are hurting right now.....I know finding out more info makes it hurt more but maybe you can give her a name and do something in her memory for her......we planted a tree (japanese maple) on Friday for Joshua and got a ceramic little boy pulling a dog in a wagon with a fishing pole in his other hand to put next to the tree then we released the balloons and had cake for him I know I have missed some of you but I am in hurry just know I love you all and will be back soon Shana

Hey ladies! Punkin- good to see you back sweetie. What c___p that is that she "forgot". I'm sorry that no family came, but Josh saw his Mommy and Daddy there for him and that's what matters. I will check out the new pics this afternoon. Krissy- Hows it going in the 2ww? Excruciating, isn't it? Bunny- hope you are doing better, I'm sorry that you're so sad. How are all the rest of you lovely ladies?

punkin01 - I can't believe how family members act and they from both sides should have been there it is no excuse as for the monster in law when her birthday come around "forget". Stay strong. We love you. clindholm - I am 7dpo and of course I had to test for my birthday and it was neg but I am okay with it. I went to the gyn and I am so happy that I keep pinching myself. I told him I wanted another baby and he okay let's get to it. If AF show like she is suppose to then I will be taking clomid 50mg on cd 3-7 and cd 8-12 I will be taking estradiol 3 pills twice a day (it is estrogren but why do I need to take it) bd cd 10-16 and start prog supp on cd 17 and if I get pg then stay on prog supp until I am 10 weeks. I am so excited but nervous and he said we will do this for 3 cycle and if this don't work then move on to the next step which I don't know what that is. My insurance covered all my meds at the cost of $10 each so that is good. Will keep you updated. Krissy68

Hi, Krissy, your plans to conceive sound good. Keep going for it; I'm rootin' for ya. Colleen, I'm excited for your pregnancy; when is the next scan? Glad that all is going well right now ---- I will keep you in my prayers. Punkin, sounds like you made a really memorable day out of little "josh-angels" birthday; despite those monsters, that you are related to. Don't feel bad ---- we all have a few of those in our family. Also, I went to Joshua's website, but when I saw his pics, & got ready to read the words about him ---- I couldn't do it. Didn't really want to start the blubbering right now. It may take awhile, but eventually, I'll go back to his website, & read everything. Kristin, I'm sorry that you lost your baby at 14 weeks; I imagine that was EXTREMELY painful for you. I think it would have been better had I not known what the s_x of my baby was; do you feel the same way? By the way Punkin, I'd rather not give the loss baby a name, since I didn't give the first baby that I miscarried a name. Thanks for the suggestion anyways. Snycks, Michelleodell & Pootersmum --- where are you? Ladies, thanks to all of you for your comfort. Take care, 3babies

3_babies_at_41 - Thanks for cheering me on. I am thinking about you. Any plans this weekend? Krissy68

No problem Krissy ---- we're here for each other. The weather is forcasted to be nice (upper 80's) for this weekend, but no special plans for me; especially not bd-ing. The only thing that I plan to do, is take off from my 12-8am shift Saturday night into Sunday; get a little extra relaxation. How 'bout you? Any plans to break any more dvd monitors/players? I tell ya, I still get a kick out of reading the post, where you broke the dvd player, & told the lady you were just fine. Still LOL!! Much love for you Krissy, 3babies

3_babies - The only thing going on with me is trying to get my 8th grader and 12th grader graduation stuff together they both graduate next week and no I am not ready. Krissy68

Hi girls, how is everyone doing? Anything new and exciting? Well it's supposed to be 93 and 94 degrees here is weekend and although I LOVE the summer, that is way too hot for me. I may have to turn on the AC but the electric is so freakin expensive! It's also supposed to be humid, blah. We are also up to $4.23 per gallon of gas for regular here. What a joke. Colleen
