I wish I could. Someone drove in to be trained and I'm meeting my biggest client with a manager. I purchased Always overnights with wings and praying for the best. I'll have to go to the ER if I'm filling them faster than one an hour right?Quote:

Wear black pants and the always and I'm PRAYING with all my might!!!
If something is going wrong you'll usually know. It can get pretty heavy and still be ok but yes more than one an hour is the rule of thumb. Also if you can take your temp you may want to do that a couple times, fever can be a bad sign.
Use Tylenol instead of aspirin because aspirin may make the bleeding heavier.
Ok. Thanks for everything Atomic!

Thinking of you and hoping today is going smoothly.
Oh no fefe, I'm so sorry for your loss :heart:
Hi Atomic! Thanking God it's holding off. If I can just get through tomorrow and Thursday. Spotting has ceased.Quote:

Sorry Fefecooks. :( if I can give a piece of advice without alarming you, just keep a close eye on it as if bleeding gets too heavy it can come on very quickly, as it did with me back in August. In hindsight, I should've got my DH to call an ambulance, as I was filling a maternity pad in less than 10 mins. He drove me to hospital instead and I did get in quickly, but also passed out. If in doubt, seek help. I hope it all passes for you quickly and that you get through this ok. All the best.
Did you have any spotting initially or just a big gush of alarm? Any initial cramping?Quote:

Yep! And not even really spotting today. My temp was soooo close to coverline this AM though. Praying for 1 more day.

Hi Fefe. On my 9 week Mark (after our 3 year olds birthday party) I had some slight cramping and didn't worry at the time as I thought I must've just overdone it a bit with the party prep and everything. A week to the day later (and during that week I had been feeling better, so pregnancy symptoms had clearly started going away), after I had done some weeding in the garden (like squatting down for long periods of time and pulling out weeds - prob something you should t do when pregnant) I stood up after doing the weeding and felt a strange feeling in my groin area (or anal area) like a walnut wanting to come out. Not long after that I went to the bathroom and had spotting in my undies (this was early afternoon I think) and by that evening I was haemorrhaging. I'm sure it's all different for everyone and in hindsight when I'd been in hospital that afternoon and had scan I should've been admitted into hospital then for the D & C instead of coming home that afternoon, only to end up back in the hospital again that night. Mine was a missed miscarriage, so baby had died a week or so earlier from when my bleeding started. So 9-10 weeks. If you were earlier in pregnancy it would all happen a lot easier and less chance of haemorrhaging. I wish you well. It's an awful time but it does get easier. Hugs.Quote:

UPDATE: Praise God! Red flow has begun at 12.2 weeks tonight. I am so grateful! Tomorrow is an office day.

Oh what relief for you Fefecooks. I hope it goes smoothly for you (as smoothly as things can go in these situations) so that you can get back to ttc when you are ready. Take care of yourself.
I'm glad things finally started on their own Fefe. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, but make sure you have support around and a backup plan if you need help. (((HUGS)))
Thanks! I'm on my own right now. This is soooo painful! Contractions every 3-5 minutes. Praying this is over soon!Quote:

After laboring in horrible pain (sharp contractions every 2 min.) for over 6 hours yesterday, we headed to the ER. They gave me Toradol which was a complete lifesaver after my body laughed at Morphine. Much respect for all that have given birth with no drugs. That back labor pain and those sharp contractions were simply the worse pain that I've ever had in life. They did a pelvic exam and ultrasound to find that the cervix is still open and the sac is right at the cervix. Sent me home with Motrin and Norco. Says it should pass by this evening. Thanks for all of your prayers guys!

Praise God! After being in the ER with severe labor pains most of the evening, the baby and placenta passed/came out at the drs. office around 10:50am this morning. I got to see it. Super tiny. I saw the arms, legs and right eye. God's creation is beautiful! Thank you for your prayers!

Oh wow! I just cried when I read your post Fefe. I really wanted to see our little one too when she/he passed at 10 weeks - I was in hospital and on the toilet and eve now I wished I'd put on a glove and scooped it out of the toilet so I could take a look and maybe take him/her home and bury in our garden. How amazing you got to see it Hun. Just how long would it have been in cm Hun? Poor little souls taken from us way too soon - yet I try to look at it now in that God was sparing us and the baby from something worse (perhaps something was sooo wrong with them they wouldn't have survived outside of the womb after birth anyway, for example). Anyway Hun, I'm sooo relieved that is all over and done with now for you and you sound very brave and positive about it all. Big hugs. Xxoo
It was in some way comforting to me. I even took a pic as my hubby wanted to see it as he wasn't there. It made it so real. He/she was about the size of the tip of my pinky nail at 8 weeks (smaller than a pea,). I was definitely expecting something larger for some reason. I would have totally missed it if it would have been still inside the sack. The sack burst as she pulled it out during my pelvic exam. To the Glory of God, I just so happened to be at the doctors office when he/she was ready. They were able to send everything to the lab today for genetic and gender testing this week. I hope to have some answers. Thanks so much for your encouragement.Quote:

I am so sorry Fefe - but I am so happy that it happened in a way that you got to see it. I did not see my losses go and always felt like it would have given me peace to see it. :heart:
Everything will better,Fefe,fighting!!
Results were that the baby had Trisomy 13 - Patau Syndrome. Also, it was a boy.

Thank you for updating us. I'm sorry.Quote:

I just want to assure you, for whatever it is worth, that swaying can still work for you and have had many people lose a baby to chromosomal abnormalities and then go on to conceive their desired gender (and a healthy baby)
Wishing you peace and healing, fefe.
^^^I completely agree.
Thanks Atomic! What do you think of these to improve egg quality? How long before they start to work?Quote:

Sorry to hear this Fefe. It's God and Mother Nature's way of sparing us and the baby more pain I believe. I hope you heal well and that you are blessed with a healthy baby next time Hun. :) xxQuote:

I despise royal jelly, people have died from taking it and it does nothing anyway. you don't need it at all, all it is is a small amount of fat and protein with some B vitamins in it. If you feel you need vitamins, take a prenatal 3x a week and DHA 3x a week and that is basically what royal jelly is.
I so, so, so understand the temptation to want to find the magic pill that can magically boost egg quality and prevent chromosomal abnormalities. But there are millions of women online desperately taking these things and 500 others. the magic pill doesn't exist. It comes down to just that you have to wait for Goldie the Golden Egg to show up and be in the position to catch her. Your body knows what to do without taking all these magic pills. :)
Atomic - I have only been taking 100mg of ubiquinol. Is that enough? I just read above about the 400. Also, can there be more than one Goldie the Golden Egg? I'm worried that my one and only shot might not be Goldie and that I'd need more than one attempt to catch it? Thanks.Quote:

YES, there can be more than one Goldie. Goldie isn't really real, it's a concept to illustrate that you never know if you are in a month where all the stars would have been in alignment for you to get and stay pregnant. When we're young, most months we are pretty fertile. As we get older, fertility declines in a variety of ways, not only egg quality, but other ways as well and so we may end up going from being capable of getting preggo 10 months out of the year at 30, to 1 or 2 months out of the year at 45. So you can't let months pass by for things like "letting ubiquinol work" because we honestly don't even know that ubiquinol DOES work or if it does, that it WILL for you, even if you took it 1000 months, there could be some totally other thing going on anyway, mainly age, which is much, much more important than anything you can do or take. So the whole "Goldie" idea is jsut trying to get you guys to not start skipping months without having a darn good reason, because you could very well only be able to get pregnant 1-2-3-4 months out of the whole year, and skipping months means you may miss your chance that won't come again for another 3,4,6, 12 months, if that makes sense.
HCG level is still 3 at CD24. I guess this is why I still haven't ovulated?

You should be able to ovulate with HCG at that level, I think your body is just taking a break.
I would have you doing 1 serv. full fat dairy, 4-6 eggs a week, and one serv. salmon (if you like it) or red meat (if you don't) if you're back on LE Diet.
Are you taking any supps that could delay ovulation (the royal jelly, vitex, high dose B vitamins, peppermint tea)
Yes. I'm following fertility diet with Salmon twice per week. No just COQ10 right now.
