Mars and Maiden next month it is!! Sending hugs xx
Maiden and Mars- Well at least we have each other again in the 2ww!
Maiden- the same thing happened to me while taking Vitex. The month I dropped it I had an 8 day LP. Since dropping it, I consistently have a 12-16 day LP with 13-14 what I mostly get. I am sensitive to medication/supplements though, and I wonder if they still affect me for awhile after stopping them. Case in point- the myo-inositol finally appears to be out of my system, based on my chart last cycle, and that was a full 2 months being off of it! Myo has a 10hour half life! And I have a high metabolism. Strange.
Just thought I'd share 😉!
Fx for us next cycle and for healthy sticky beans to all the recent BFP ladies!!!

Absolutely! Where are you in your cycle? I am on CD 2. Waiting for CD 5 to start BDing 😊!Quote:

Sorry to keep ya hanging! I needed a break from reality- this forum is sometimes the devils advocate bc its a reminder of all that hurts.
Anyway no BFP- my Hcg last Sunday was 12, a fall from 15. Aside from feeling stupid, I really hit bottom- I wanted to be pregnant sooooo badly to fill the empty spot I had inside. Now that I am not, it's just too sad and I can hardly breathe at times. Anyway I don't know where I am in my cycle. I am so confused with my body and I guess that's natural after a loss.

It's not stupid...it can take time for HCG to leave your system but that is great that is it going down on its own!
I think this is why most doctors recommend waiting until after you get a natural AF before you try again. It is very confusing until you get AF...I hope you get back on track soon!
Good to hear from you 2boysjustonegirl! Don't feel stupid! I am glad the HCG is going down. I am keeping you in my prayers and hope you get a BFP with a healthy, sticky bean (hopefully pink 💞) soon!!
❤️❤️❤️

Welcome tweedledeedum!
2boys so relieved to hear from you! Please look after yourself;) a mc is physically and emotionally draining.

Thanks everyone! I didn't expect to be missed so much! Lol. I needed the break, my head was too obsessed with all this to see clearly. I feel better these days....and very grateful for your concern. Thanks so much.

You're very welcome 2boysjustonegirl, we love and care about you 😘. We all hope you get a sticky BFP very soon, especially after all you have been through. I know it is rough right now, but you'll get your strength back and be able to try again soon. Know we are all here for you ❤️❤️❤️!

AF def here. 24 day cycle what the heck. Will monitor this month, not sure if I should try the vitex?
Wow! There are 5 of us ladies cycling together- Kate, Maiden, Mars, Tweedledeedum, and me! This is very interesting! Hopefully there is power in numbers, and we all get BFPS! I wonder if we will all O together too! Wouldn't that be something!

XX, that's the thing, I DIDN'T stop Vitex, I took it every day all cycle long, my 4th cycle on it continuously! So there is no apparent explanation for my 9 day LP. :( Also, in the past when I stopped taking V, I still had an extended LP the next cycle. I did stop taking Vitex today, CD1, bc I am taking Soy Iso for 5 days which can't be combined with V. But I'd like to resume V on CD6 if possible, maybe at 2/3 my previous dose, but I really don't want to go off V completely until the NEXT cycle.
Welcome, tweedle!
2boys, sorry to hear you aren't pregnant. I can't imagine how annoyed I'd feel. Fx it will happen for real soon.
Queen, I think a majority of us O close to the full moon, as is our natural tendency.
Kate, I too had a shorter than usual cycle at 26 days. Do you think maybe you Oed earlier than you normally do? Or maybe a short LP from BFing? Though typically cycles tend to be long while BFing..
Xx, big hugs and enjoy the acupuncture! I had it last summer. Only one or two ever hurt. Overall it was very relaxing and I always felt energized later.
Maiden, Mars, and Kate, big hugs to you, too! Mars, I love the dream story. Hope it's true eventually!
Welcome, Tweedle! This is a great group. Are you swaying?
2boys, so good to hear from you. I've been there. You do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. Sending you lots of love.
Wow, 5 of you together, sounds like a big poas party coming up next month! Fun!
My temp was up even more today. I'm fairly certain I o'ed on Mon. because I get the sore chest afterwards, but we did get one more bd in just in case. And don't be fooled by the great bding schedule -- we've done it properly every cycle since ttc. That's why I made the appt. with the specialist, but that won't be until just before o in the next cycle. Hopefully I can go in and just ask for a pregnancy blood test and early monitoring, lol.
Maiden, so sorry you're not pregnant...
Kate as well, big hugs girls!
Sage, CD17 looks like O to me so I'm glad you attempted again! I think you Oed a few days later than marked in your July and September cycles, too.
Maiden- I sent you a PM about some advice for me. Just wanted to give you a heads up 😘!

Oh 2boys I'm sorry to hear that I've been thinking of you. Please don't feel stupid though I think many of us would hope the same if we were in your shoes! Remember there's never any judgement on here xx
Thanks for the welcomes!
Sage - yup, swaying pink again. I did an intense sway two years ago and this one is definitely lighter! Trying to stick to a few keys and hope for the best! (vitex, one attempt, loose diet, fiber, diet drinks, refresh)
Lone behold AF has arrived. I suppose only good and righteous people deserve a pregnancy right after a loss. Not me. I deserve a miscarried baby girl and a lifetime of misery. Sometimes I seriously wonder what I did to deserve this.

2boys - I'm so sorry for what you're going through. My first AF after my loss was extremely painful for me. We tried to get pg right away after my loss as well and when AF arrived it stung so much. AF is a terrible reminder you aren't pregnant and you have every right to be angry and upset. I did get pregnant right away after that first AF and if your heart is in it I urge you not to give up.
Study: No Need to Delay Pregnancy After Miscarriage
Reading this article gave me much comfort and and gave my husband and I the push to keep trying for a healthy baby. I probably conceived TWO boys after my loss, so I'm in no position to give swaying advice at this time. I wish you all the best and know that so many on this site are cheering you on. I hope you get your sticky pregnancy soon!
I am so sorry 2boysjustonegirl! That is gut wrenching! I am keeping you in my prayers!

Thanks for the chart input, Maiden!
More hugs, 2boys! I miscarried in Sept. 2011 then conceived in Nov. I wanted a baby so much and was stuck battling Lyme disease. It was so hard, but I was determined not to give up. In mourning my loss, it really helped me to hand sew a new set of curtains that look like stained glass for the room I hoped would someday be a nursery. Is there something you want do to honor the life of your angel baby? I also found comfort reading "Heaven Is for Real" and you might like it, too, if you're Christian.
One more week until I test. No early tests this time, I just want to know for sure, or as sure as possible, lol, so I won't do it until immediately before af. Temp is good today, chest very sore, and increased cm. I'm 5dpo.
Sweetie you didn't do anything!!! I know it is so hard right now- for me mornings are the worst when I wake up and realize I'm not pregnant anymore. However for me it helps to focus on the good things- now that you have AF you don't have to have any fears about your lining and can TTC without worrying. You know you can get pregnant with a girl- so that means there is nothing stopping you from conceiving a healthy baby girl this cycle. Please just try and hang in there. Big BIG hugs from me.Quote:

I am sorry to hear AF started 2boysjust1girl. I don't have much advice except maybe this gives you a little extra time to process the loss of your baby. I know you'd probably rather not. I tend to want to move quickly past painful times in my life rather than feel it. I am sending good thoughts and hopes that your body heals quickly and you can TTC again soon.
Junie- I am so out of the loop, did you also suffer a miscarriage? Sorry for all of your losses.
I can empathize with you on the lack of control. I haven't suffered a loss but have had long set backs with my body during this process. I thought I would conceive the 1st or 2nd try and now I'm 6 months in. I also did not want a Dec baby. I was hoping for a late spring/early summer baby. Now I am crossing my fingers for a 2015 baby! I'm trying to get back on a positive thinking track . It gets hard when people around you are pregnant or get pregnant without trying. ((Hugs)) to you all!
EmileeJane- We suffered a loss on my B-day on Thursday. I consider that CD1 and am back on a relaxed form of LE, and in a good week we will start BDing every 4 days. I know just how you feel with control the lack of control. This whole process can be so frustrating but I do think it is easier if I try to stay positive. I won't ever get these days back so I should try and enjoy them and live them to the fullest. Much easier said than done though!
So sorry that AF found you 2boys. I think it's really hard to get pregnant that cycle immediately after a loss as the body is trying to get back on track and things are delayed, etc.
I had my miscarriage back in October, so 3 months ago now, and it was such a dark and depressing time for me. I cried daily for weeks and it doesn't help that DH says we are done and that he wants to get a vasectomy. He hasn't yet, but insists on using condoms or pulling out and every time we dtd I just want to cry as I pretty much have zero chance of getting pregnant, let alone getting a girl. I've pretty much dropped all swaying as I try to get healthy again after finding I have extremely low ferritin, MTHFR mutation, low cortisol, low magnesium, and low vitamin D after swaying for a year. I believe that my miscarried baby was a girl too, as I had a pretty strong kitchen sink sway. It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I'm starting to feel normal again and not super depressed all the time. Miscarriages take a huge physical, hormonal, and emotional toll on women. I have no idea how women go on who have suffered multiple losses. It was the darkest time in my life and I never want to go through it again. (((HUGS))) and I hope you get your healthy baby girl soon.
@essnce629 I just want to give you a huge hug. What are your husband's reasons for wanting to stop?? I really really hope that he changes his mind. How terrible to end your journey like that... Do you think he could come around?? I'm not religious but I will pray that things change for you as reading your post made me feel so sad for you.
My cheapie was much lighter today. Still 2 lines but I am hoping that by next weekend they are gone. I really want to start having sex again as I have spent the last 10 weeks feeling awful and now I feel relatively normal and really miss my husband but of course I absolutely don't want to get an infection so I am going to try and wait one week.
For those of you who had miscarriages, how long did you wait to have sex?

Junie - do you have any follow up appointments with your Dr? My doctor did a follow up ultrasound exactly 6 days after the bleeding stopped and confirmed everything was completely clear. I stopped bleeding or spotting after 4 days or so, but we planned on waiting to DTD until after the ultrasound or 1 week (if my doctor had told me an u/s wasn't necessary).
Thanks for the support ladies. Back on LE diet full force and taking vitex to hopefully push ovulation back- if I can't O will fall at a bad time making babys due date on DS2 bday. I always go overdue by about 3-4 days so I can't bank on an early delivery but I guess you never know. I don't want another October baby anyway- MIL bday is that month and it irritates me to have my babies born then😉 O is to happen around the 27th-feb 1 so I am going to count myself out of this Jan 2ww. I wish you all the best this month:)

Btw I named my angel baby girl Edith, after a mountain in the Rockies. We visited there last summer and I fell in love with that mountain and the lakes below. It was then we decided to TTC again and that mountain represents what my baby girls dream is- powerful and possible.

Bluebonnet- I would have had an appt this coming Thurs or Fri (so 1 week after miscarriage) but we are on vacation so I won't be able to have an appt until 2 weeks after the miscarriage. I think to be safe I will wait until spotting completely stops or at least 1 week.
2boys- I LOVE the name Edith and I love what the name represents for you. Keep thinking this way. I know you will be getting your baby girl!!
Essnce- my heart goes out to you, and I hope and pray that your husband comes around so you can TTC again soon. My DH pulled the plug on ttcing after my chemical in November. When we had a heart to heart, he told me he couldn't bare to see me so upset and didn't want me to go through that again. I told him my strong desire to have another baby is, and he came around again. I have stopped talking to him about anything ttc, and I talk to you ladies on here more. I hope that your DH comes around too. Maybe he just needs more time- for you to get your health back. I am praying for you!

I hope its ok that I join in the conversation :)
I think Im officially on my 2ww. DH and I hadnt planned to start TTC until next month but Ive been having issues with my pill and after getting unwell during my last cycle which caused an incredibly weak period (So light that Im still not even sure thats what it was...) Im now off the pill and we've agreed that we may as well start trying a month early.
I woke up this morning feeling like Id done 300 situps, my abdomen is so achy and sore nipples. I cant be sure exactly where I am in my cycle due to my last period, but my OPK showed a light + this afternoon so Im pretty sure going by my symptoms of abdominal cramps, location of cervix and CM I ovulated sometime in the last 48 hours. I POAS this afternoon but of course it was BFN, way too early to test. Fingers crossed that theres pink causing all the horrible aching Im getting lol
2boysjustonegirl- I love the name Edith! That is one of my favorite girl names! I used to live in Colorado and know that vista view well! FX for you that you get a BFP soon!

All of you ladies who have experienced a miscarriage are such amazing and strong women. I admire your strength and courage. I also hope you never have to experience that ever again, and you can get your baby (blue or pink) soon!
