Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[Emily]

Back on the bandwagon for me. It was a chemical pg. My hcg numbers did double from 11 on Wednesday to 22 on Friday, but my home tests kept getting lighter and lighter. Today (Monday), AF showed. Oh well, on the plus side, the cycle after a m/c (and chemical too, I hope?) sways pink. As long as I didn't cancel that out with my diet cheats, eek!

Oh sweetie I am so sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. It is crap, sad, frustrating and unfair. Allow yourself to have a cry and don't beat yourself up over diet cheats - if a few days made a difference we would all just do the diet AF to O. Big hugs.

Thank you, my dear! Fingers tightly crossed that yours sticks -- now I know what it is like to worry about losing a pg.

It's funny but I'm not actually all that emotional about having a m/c. I guess I didn't have enough time to get invested in it; I got my warning signs early on and put up my guard. What I am really NOT happy about is having to go back to trying again after thinking (hoping) that was behind me. Maybe I'm not all torn up over it because I did feel from the beginning that this one wasn't meant to be; somehow I knew it was my turn to have to jump a roadblock. I really, really hope that this chemical's silver lining will be to prep my body for pink for the next cycle!

I hope you are right about a few days of diet not making a difference. I know it takes more than a few days of diet to lose condition, but is the same true for gaining condition? I actually took prenatal vitamins!

Niva.....I am sorry. ((hugs)) As for advice, I would ttc this cycle if I were you, 14 weeks with a small blip in the LE diet is good, and a chemical should help a little with swaying pink to boot. I hope that your next BFP is a sticky pink one!

Niva I'm sorry it didn't work out this month like the other ladies said hopefully it will help sway pink for you if your ready to try again this cycle. I wouldn't worry about the diet cheats or the vitamins, it will take more than few days of TLC to undo your hard work, remember its the bigger long term pattern! X

Niva, So sorry for this loss. I agree with the other ladies, this will likely give your pink sway an added boost. Hope the next time its your baby girl!

[Niva]

Thank you all for your sympathies and encouragements. So glad to have found you group of ladies who totally understand what I'm going through and can say the things that really make me feel better.

I can only hope this was a fluke and the next one will be sticky and healthy. And if it isn't pink too, it'll be defying the odds, and I already feel better knowing that.

Niva: I'm there with the rest of the girls, bad luck this time, terribly boring to have to go back on the diet, but chances have never been higher for a little girl... I whish you luck! Eyes on the ball now

Aww Niva! I'm so sorry... Hoping that this works in your favour - as Cagirl09 and Mathilde say, this may help more than anything. Hold on to that hope and good luck. x

I'm... a little confused... POAS on Sunday - no line whatsoever, but decided to DTD. Again on Monday, had a faint line, wasn't clear like the control line. DH wasn't feeling too good anyway so said 'we'll BD tomorrow' (tonight). Checked today and the line looked very slighly less clear than the day before! Have I missed o? Retesting again tomorrow, but hasn't happened like that before. Going to BD tonight anyway (I hope...), but ARGH!

[Cagirl09]

Well, it looks like I'm back with the TTC group too. I still was feeling as if something wasn't quite right and went for a follow up blood draw today. Sure enough, my numbers are going down. I'm disappointed for this loss for sure, but I'm trying to believe that this is all part of a bigger plan for me, and my health baby girl is still in my future. I have not started bleeding yet, so I'm hoping that will happen soon so that I can get back on track. I admit that one of the most difficult things about this will be to start back from phase one after nearly three weeks of eating everything in site, I've gained 5 lbs since my bfp.
