Charting - TTC after recent MC

MB.... when updating the charts by day, you just need to click on "quote" on the top right hand side...

then update the cd

then remove the part of the text where it says [quote}.  It has that at the beginning and the end... so you have to delete two lots of [quote] bits.......  DONE

I bled for 2 weeks with my last mc, and just under a week with the previous 2. (1st and 3rd were D&Cs).

This one might be ucky - I have just slept for a few hours (pretty much since I last posted on this thread) as I am so tired and bleeding quite heavily now.

here is my chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/29c46e please add me

Hila I have to have a blood test tomorrow too, also to confirm the miscarriage. I am having really major cramps today, especially in my lower back, but thankfully the bleeding isn't as heavy, I seem to be passing a lot of mucus with the blood today.

Hila some of us Christchurch-region OB'ers are thinking of meeting up for coffee at Coffee Culture in Papanui in a few weeks - are you keen? I am free most Wednesdays, but if a weekend day suited everyone more than we can work something out.

I just updated my blog - HEAPS - come on people, I need more 'followers' to keep me motivated to keep writing!

Hila, are you not taking temps yet? Was curious to compare yours to mine - mine has a massive drop today, I guess that means my mc is complete (ie hcg levels gone right down).

GOOD LUCK for your blood test today - I will be thinking of you when I get mine in about 45 mins...

Thanks MB. I just felt like I needed a break from temping for a few days. I stopped when I got the BFP.
But today my temp is still higher than it normally is before ovulation. But I had a restless sleep so that could have put it up a bit.
I will be keen to meet up in a few weeks. I can do Wednesdays, from 12.30 onwards.
I am about to go and get my blood test too, so will be thinking of you too.

Hi MrsHopeful. Will have my fingers crossed for you next month.

I may come and join you too. My first m/c was July 1st (11wks), and exactly 6 months to the day was my second one, Jan 1st (4wks3days). I am taking a break this month from temping and charting though, over the past few months that I have been temping i've discovered that I OV every month on CD15 so know when to BD.

I have named both of my angel babies, believing both of them were girls. I got PND after the first one, but the m/c itself was horrific [lasting three weeks] and then I had complications. I feel okay about this last one, maybe because it was over before it really started, I don't know?

Anyway, i'm Sharee, i'm 30yrs, married, and living in Hamilton, currently looking for a job, intent on volunteering in a palliative care unit, and considering going back to uni in March.

Thanks again Shezzey - it's not always possible for me to get online during the day when I am working.

My hcg levels are down to 18 - I never thought I would be so glad to hear that they have gone down so much, rules out ectopic pregnancy. I have to have another test next week. Apparently I am still classified as 'pregnant' cause my hcg is above 5, despite the fact I have AF... isn't that just so strange...

Just had some good news from DH - a workmate of his and his wife (a really nice couple) are going to TTC again this year - she had an mc last year, or maybe it was late 2008, and it really knocked her. They have been married for over 14 years. She is 39. They didnt seem to worried about TTC again but I am so pleased to hear they are going to try. They would be such awesome parents! Apparently she spends as much time on the web researching as I do... LOL

When the nurse from Repromed rung me (the nice nurse, the one I always like talking to!!!) I asked her to give my specialist a list of things to look into before we go to see him on the 18th - I want to have antibody screening, I want to have progesterone supplements given to me from the day I get a positive BFP, plus the Heparin, and also the possibility of prednisone - all this would help in stopping my body attacking the pregnancy. Because I rarely get sick, my immunity is very high, so I believe my body sees pregnancy as a foreigner. I have a friend who is studying antibodies etc (she is a 'blood nurse') and she has suggested that I should have antibody screening esp as I have had 3 pg's and 3 mc's so close together.

I have probably already written this somewhere on OB, sorry, I know I typed it all out somewhere today, maybe to Mum, but I have had a weird day, somewhat surreal, back at work, trying to focus on anything except the mc (which won't let me stop focusing on it cause the cramps and clots are really bad today)...
