Anyone else trying for a 2014 baby?

Hi Ladies

Trust you are all doing well, 5 days without a post? Feeling a tad lost.

AFM: My last update was that I had done two tests in consecutive weeks and they were both negative. I've not taken another, seems unnecessary to do so. AF still missing though and I weighed myself last night and got the shock of my life as it's the heaviest I've EVER been. This is absolutely why AF has been away.

working towards getting her back now, never thought that would be a thing

***Baby Dust***

Thanks so much ladies ! this forum is always a relief in painful situations !


FG - hope you are on the road to a speedy recovery , both physically and emotionally

gain -a- baby - baby dust to you .... hope you don't have to try again and this turns out to be your lucky cycle

Nicolette - wish you the very best for ur next insem ... njoy the month off

Carmen - thanks ... I know one should not die before one is dead ... but its just so so difficult when every doc is 99.99 % sure

I spent the entire day yesterday reading posts in misdiagnosedmiscarriages.com , to get some hope ...was so off my mind that I took more insulin than recommended yesterday night and am feeling dizzy now

I don't know what to do after Saturday ... but after reading a few posts there , think it would be better to wait some more and let nature take its course ... atleast will not be thinking "what if" later..... but not sure how long I will be able to hold up like this !!

Hello ladies. Hope you all had a lovely long week-end.
Anaa - 33 is really not old. Really. My FS has always said 38 is when the "downward slope" starts. And I know MANY women older than that who have conceived. So you've still got 5 years MINIMUM.
Gain-a-baby - those long cycles must be driving you crazy. Wishing you lots of patience.
Flowergirl - hugs and strength. Don't minimize your loss. A loss is a loss - no matter how early - you're allowed to be sad, and your "selfish" is not perceived that way. So relieved to hear that the tube is not damaged.
So... my 33mm egg failed to produce anything more apart from getting my period 3 days early - which means that my hubby will definitely be away when our next insemination is due (he's in Paris - lucky guy!!). We contemplated another frozen sample, but our first sample was frozen (and unsuccessful), so we decided against it. So I'm taking the month off - for a bit of psychological R&R - off the roller coaster so to speak - and we're going to try again in September.
Wishing you all a lovely day. If you're in Cape Town drive safe, and keep dry.

Hello from a cold and rainy Cape Town,

Flowergirl - So happy it turned out well in the end, wish you a speedy recovery in mind & body.

Aanaa - Don't lose hope, the one piece of advice given over and over on this forum is not to lose hope.

AFM: I'm on day 41 since the start of my last AF, tested this past Friday and also a week before that and it was negative on both occasions. These lengthy cycles are just messing with my head man! My husband returned from he's business trip on the 14th July and I was smack in the middle of my assumed ovulation dates....we covered all bases over the first week! Could it be to early to tell? If anything was there it should have shown by now.

Hi all

Sorry I have been offline for about a week.

FG - so sorry to hear!

Anaa- Hope there is good news with your next scan.

Gain-a-baby - FXFXFx for you.

Hi Aanaa,

I am so sorry to hear! Wow, what a rollercoaster ride. I can totally imagine you being feeling depressed. I can imagine you are feeling low. But please don't give up hope in having a baby, 33 is still not near the 35 year mark and even then pregnancy is not impossible, it might just take longer. Give yourself some space to work through all the emotions and please drop in here for support.

Please keep us updated. Big hugs! xx

Hello ladies

been a long time since i last posted ... was hopeful i will give you good news but it was not to be

Tested positive ( with two very dark lines ) on 15th July , Went to the Gynae and confirm pregnancy . Went for a 6 weeks scan the week after and saw an empty sac but the radiologist and gynae were both positive that it just a case of early pregnancy coz my cycles are long and i had all the pregnancy symptoms

Went back in two weeks' time ( had to start insulin twice a day in b/w coz had slightly high sugar levels and the docs didnot want to take a risk ) and still an emplty sac ... took a 2nd opinion the next day with the same results ... have been told to do a follow up again with after 7 -10 days to clear any doubts , but ofcourse i have no hope now

Worst is , my pregnancy symptoms are in full form remining me every moment of what could have been ....DH has been soo very supportive during time , taking care of our son and ensuring i am comfortable but somehow am just not able to cope up .

With increasing age (i am 33) and now sugar and tyroid , i am losing hope !

Flowergirl - am so sorry for about yor condition but so glad u didnot know earlier and did not get excited and all planning ...its terrible ... also glad you are in good shape with no damage to the tubes etc

ladies ... too down to write individual posts ... please bear with me ....again have to wait for 7 days , feeling pregnant every moment and end up with a D&C !!
