TTC after miscarriage/loss

Be interesting to see what the blood results show Soda!! Hopefully good news and you did OV? Let us know how you get on :)

Sara! Yes my week has gotten better. Things are finally looking up for me. Not only have we started our Rainbow's journey, but we brought a new car today! And I got $1200 tax refund cheque in mail! Stoked! It's the best week we've had since before we list our angel. I might cancel my acupuncture next week, can't really keep affording to go just for wellbeing now that we've achieved our goal. Will go for my first lot of bloods tomorrow. Midwife wants to do weekly Hormone check (HCG) to make sure we staying on track. So happy I didn't have to ask and we are on the same page.

Sara that is kinda sweet I guess you could say taking some of George with you to where he was created. Nice and fitting I think.X

Sounds like a lovely plan Sara!

Yay for a good week Talz, I've been thinking of you.

Whoops.. *everything, not everyone

Hey a.girl! Hopefully the ball lands on your number this time!
Ov is a week away or so for me. Sooo hoping it's a normal ov this month and I don't have to wait EVEN longer than I usually do. today is CD10 and I'm normally a CD18-20 girl!
Soda- any word on your bloods yet?

Congrats on your BFPs a.girl & JK! Hope everything is going well, sending *sticky* vibes :)

OMG thanks so much for all sharing your bitter feelings - I was feeling like the world's biggest b*tch for feeling bitter. Couple weeks ago DP told me his friends were expecting and I was hysterical. Both halves are smokers, drink every weekend and most of the week too. Their place is basically the party house and I'm fairly certain they weren't trying. How is that fair? I've been working so hard to be a healthy baby receptacle and all I have to show for it is a stomach full of surgery scars. And then I feel so guilty for feeling like I deserve it more than them and I try really really hard to not feel like that and then I think maybe this is why things aren't happening for me - 'cause I'm such a b*tch :(

Wow Talz, you're on a roll, great stuff! Can you tell me more about acupuncture? A friend recommended it but I really don't understand how sticking needles in you can possibly effect your cycle?!

Frustrating about your DH Soda, I've so been there! I must admit the only good thing about not being allowed to TTC at the moment is not getting all stressed out about timing of "relations". My goal for when my body eventually remembers it's supposed to do something and we're allowed to TTC again is to try to just go with the flow and not stress about timing etc, but we'll see how well that goes...

Amusing story... I had random pain the other night - so bad it woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, then continued (but duller) during the day. Later that night my phone spontaneously flew out my pocket into the flushing toilet! I stand there shocked just yelling OH F*CK at the toilet a bunch of times before eventually fishing it out. I walk out into the hall holding my sopping phone by the corner to a poor confused DP who, knowing the pain I'd been in that day, had been bracing himself for another trip to the hospital - poor thing! He was very relieved and amused to find out it was just my phone!

Grrrrrr Soda I'd be so annoyed too. I don't think they understand as we do. If you BD two days before OV you might be right. I didn't think we had done enough this cycle as we got most BDing in before +OPK then day of +ve and nothing after for 5 days. Thought we missed our window. But low and behold BFP!

Hi mitsi, accupuncture is traditional Chinese medicine. I'm no expert but my googling found it helps in all sorts of ways with balancing your 'chi'. I saw some research online showed in a study of women doing IVF, they were 30% (don't quote me!) more likely to conceive with acupuncture than the ladies that didn't have it. So not sure if it's all hocus pocus or not, but hey I got my BFP! Definitely relaxing. Some really rely on it for pain etc. I think it helps lower stress levels too which then allow you to have a better chance of conception.
Now that I've got my BFP, I think I might cancel my apt for Tuesday as I can't really afford to keep going just coz.
Had my first blood test yesterday, so my MW should have results by today at latest. Be interested to see what HCG is. She's going to get them done weekly she said so can monitor that side of things. So I'm happy she's quite proactive with me asking. As she knows I'll be more anxious this time round.

Hold tight soda and hopefully that BFP is there waiting at the end of the cycle x

Talz I do accupuncture too, and mine recommended continuing until around the 12 week mark to help establish and maintain the pregnancy... So maybe see what the recommend - maybe just go less often than weekly?

Talz both dh and i are about to start accupuncture under acc so it only cost us $10 a session.
Hopefully with FA and accupuncture we will get a BFP!

Does anyone have a recommendation for an acupuncturist in Wellington? I'm thinking I may as well give it a go.
Went to the doctor on Friday who just gave me some reassurance (was feeling like I'm going a little crazy!) and I've also ordered some OPK's so hopefully I'll be able to join the BFPs
