Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[bunnywabbit]

Oh no! So sorry, Cagirl... Really hoping this is part of the bigger plan for you.

[Emily]

So sorry Cagirl that really sucks. Hope you are doing OK.

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.

Oh, Cagirl, that is rough. I am so sorry you had to get that far along before realizing the numbers weren't going up. What clued you in? Just intuition? For me, it was home tests getting lighter. I really hope this was all part of the big pink plan for you, same as I'm hoping for me! I know we'll both get through. Five pounds isn't that much, really, not on the LE diet -- are you going to try the first cycle after?

Thanks so much ladies. It is such a bummer, but I'm doing my best to be optimistic about this.

Niva, I think there were several things that clued me on. One, my sypmtoms were not progressing AT ALL, I had next to no symptoms with the exception of minor bloating and barely sore nipples. I was supposed to be 6 weeks tomorrow, so the closer it got to that, the stranger it felt to feel nothing. Then this morning I woke up and even the sore nipples were gone, and I just knew. I do hope that the 3 weeks off LE doesn't set me back entirely to the beginning as I had 4 good months of it before the BFP, its just so frustrating to lose all that hard work! I am on the fence about TTC first cycle out. It does seem to sway quite a bit, so we might, but I just worry about so much damage to the diet. Maybe we will and we will pull out all the stops, full antihistamine, extra days of FR, extra Aci Jel, etc that way I'll feel like I"m still working toward the goal, but putting forth the best sway possible. I don't know. What about you?

Cagirl...I am so sorry. ((hugs)) As for the weight gained, you will probably lose 2-3 lbs before you O again...so I would try again when you are ready. Lots of hugs!

[2lovelyboys]

Cagirl09 I'm sorry to read your news I wouldn't worry about the weight gain, you can use it to your advantage and lose it all again before ttc. I know it's all very disheartening but try to remain optimistic and use your obstacles to your advantage!

10DPO have tested 3x with FRER all BFP. Am feeling very apprehensive as soooooo early! AF due Mon/Tue, will probably feel better once Tuesday has been and gone!

Niva and Cagirl, I am really sorry to read both your news. Hopefully as you said it is all part of a bigger plan for you both.

Emily and 2LB, congrats to you both and fingers crossed this will be it for you and you both have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead of you.

GeCon, thank you very much! All seems very surreal at the moment! Not long till you start testing! I will be stalking!
