happyhomemaker25 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The OB said I should have a regular cycle in the next 4 to 6 weeks and then I am good to go. Of course my cycles have never been normal hence the two surprise pregnancies in the last two years. I keep hoping I can at least be pregnant again by April of next year. I don't know I just think it would make my EDD of April 7 with my ectopic a little easier to bear. What really stinks is I thought I was ok if I did not have any more babies. The surprise pregnancy of last month and then the ectopic have totally thrown me into baby wanting mode again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 :grouphug: Had an ectopic this summer and I'm ready to start TTC again this month. Just started using OPK's again this morning, in fact. Fingers crossed for both of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 We aren't trying but something a couple of weeks ago made me think I might be. I took a test earlier this month but realized it was probably too early. I'm going to test again if nothing happens in the next day or two. Can I say that those two weeks are the longest - such a roller coaster. I had a negative test, but I've had nausea off and on for over a week. A couple of times it was bad enough that I thought, "Okay, there is no way this could be all in my head." Then the baby threw up. So, it is probably just a bug. I've had other symptoms, too, but they could be explained by other things. Dh has stated that he is done having kids. In a way, I'd really like to be pg now because it may be my only chance at another (and it was all his fault so he can't blame me:D). On the other hand, I never lost weight after the last baby. And had a lot to lose after my third yet. If I'm expecting now, I'm going to be a blimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritaserum Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Could anyone say this board leaves anything unclear ? :D Just wanted to avoid any further questions. :lol: I'm going to hope for a positive hpt later this week, but I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) when my youngest was 3 months old and I really don't know how or if that will impact my fertility. When untreated it can prevent ovulation and cause miscarriage. I've been treating it for the past 3.5 years, but I had my numbers drawn on Thursday (5 dpo) and they are worse than they have ever been. :( They aren't really bad, but the change is enough to make me worry about miscarriage even if I did conceive this month. I'm hoping to get a change in my medication tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*lifeoftheparty* Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm TTC :) Have been for a while, but I have PCOS. I'm going to the Dr. in 2 weeks to get some blood work done to check my thyroid and estrogen/progesterone. I'm almost positive that I have estrogen dominance issues. I'm going to see what my numbers are and then start that progesterone cream. For the longest time, I've been totally cool with TTC. I've had a "if it's meant to happen, it will happen" attitude. However, in the past 3 months or so, I've started to feel more, I dunno, urgent about it. I turn 31 in January, my only son will turn 8 in June; I NEED a baby!! Theoretically, I would like to pop out two more before I turn 35, and be done at 35. But I'll take whatever I can get :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Jenn lol at Medicare. It is nice to have people to check in with. Hope this thread stays active! I am still awaiting a positive OPK. I'm on cd12 and still negative OPK as of this morning, which was what I was expecting, it's still a bit early for me (though I'm not sure exactly what to expect now that I'm post-ectopic, things might not be on the same schedule they were before, I guess).

zookeeper Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well, my thyroid numbers looked good so we're doing some hormone testing. She thinks I'm not absorbing my progesterone cream well enough. All the symptoms point to hormones, lack of sleep, short cycle with long, heavy AF. It's causing me to be a bit anemic. She asked when we would like to think about another baby and I said 3 months ago. :D Hopefully I'll know something in time to give it a good try this month.

MrsJewelsRae Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We are ttc #4. There. I said it. Truthfully, we've been ttc for about 2 yrs now. Last time around it didn't happen without surgery and lots of drugs and lots of $ and a ton of appointments with the fertility specialist. And we can't go that route this time, we don't have the $. But we want #4. So we're trying. This cycle we're pulling out all the stops with lots of herbs, temping, OPKs, etc. I think I am ovulating today, I'm praying my temp goes up tomorrow cause my dh is tiring. ;) But I really don't think it will happen. I am going to make an appointment with my doc to see if I can at least go to an OB in town and maybe she will address my PCOS and my suspected thryoid problems. I think if they can fix those problems I might actually have a chance of getting pg on my own. (I have endo, PCOS, tilted uterus, miscarriage history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After struggling with anemia for most of my life, I finally found an iron supplement my body can actually absorb. It's called Ultimate Iron by Enzymatic Therapies. My anemia symptoms went away about a week after I started taking it. I feel so much better! I hope you sort things out. :) Well, ladies, I broke down and tested this morning. I got very light lines on a cheap test strip I bought online and on a First Response Early Result. I'm not sure I believe it yet!

NanceXToo Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Laura, congrats! Jennifer, sorry you got a neg last month. It was my first month to actively try again after my ectopic and I used digital OPK tests and never even got a positive last month, at all. :( I'm on cd4 now and started soy isoflavones yesterday to see if that helps this month (google if you're unfamiliar with it with regard to ttc). Good luck to everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhomemaker25 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Still waiting on a cycle so I can get started. I'm right at 6 weeks since my ectopic with no cycle. I've had a ton of symptoms the past week and I can't help but wish it would just happen so I could get it over with. The OB said it could be 4-even 12 weeks before I saw a normal cycle. I did have what might have been a cycle about 2 weeks after the surgery. She said it would be irregular at first though. I actually tested last week because I was so achy and tired. BFN.

NanceXToo Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 We are on month 2....I have about a week left to wait...I think. What is opk? Ovulation predictor kit. It predicts the LH surge women get within a day or two of ovulation. If you use the digital, when you get a smily face instead of a blank circle it's time to focus your efforts.
