Anyone Here Want Kids or Trying to Conceive?

Post Reply New Topic

babybird- with today's technology, you're not completely out. Just will need doctor help.

Dont even need technology for it. Our chief-stockworker tried to become pregnatn with his wife for some years, until they gave up. And now, already during menopause beyond 40, they received two kids. ^^

Update: Dr. Clearblue says Yes. ^^ Real Dr. says hormonal and physical signs are there, but for 100% yes its to early, and I got another date with him in 10 days.

My partner and I were completely surprised, because my copper IUD removed only 4 weeks ago, and we are both beyond 30 years, and were both smokers. (I am not anymore, and he has reduced and does it anyway in the garden.) Our friends normally needed 6-12 months to conceive, so its pretty fast now, and we havent prepared yet anything, because we thought as well it would endure about a year, and still need to renew the kids room and additional our wedding holidays will be, when according to statistic I will be puking all day. XD But.... YEAH! ^^

Dr. meant as well, that the problems of our friends could have been because of them using hormonal contraceptive before, and according to him the body of the woman needs time until the hormon levels are back to normal, and you can receive kids. Producers of that stuff say, its only 3-4 weeks, but according to him its nonsense and most of his ladies had problems getting kids at least for the first 6 months.

Thank you, today in the morning, I was totally weird because of it. When the Dr. sent me into the wardrobe, I removed my trousers, but forget the panties. XD And my middeal meal for work I forgot as well. ^^ I thought I wouldnt tell my partner the first weeks, but I was so totally energized, that he would have known, anyway, that there must be something hidden in the bushes. ^^

Schneekugel- Congrats! That's so awesome! fx no problems arise! Keep us updated!

As for me.... *sighs* Well I THINK I had a VERY faint positive yesterday... then I started spotting, then cramps and I thought I was done and on my period... but it's been over 12 hours (usually more than enough time to get to regular flow) and bleeding is WAY WAY lighter than it should be. So... maybe I'm not out yet? I have no idea. I'm so confused. I will test tomorrow if still very light bleeding.

If it gives you hope, my last periode that would have been on Sunday, also started as usually, with me having flattering on Friday, and Sunday the first drops of blood started. But it was only some drops from now and then, and Monday it ended again and today I had the test.

I am pushing my thumbs for you as well. (Means I am hoping and wishing you as much luck as possible.)

Schneekugel- I'm beginning to wonder if it's really my period or not. It's now a bit "heavier"- but still nowhere near as heavy as normal (TMI alert) I use softcups, and usually by 20 hours, I'm on "regular" flow with probably 1/4th of a softcup full after 4-6 hours. Now it's still barely covering the surface of the softcup, and just way less than should be expected. Also, my temperture raised at a pretty "standard" rate today Temp chart. Which, if you don't do temping, basically isn't like my period at all. Temps (as you can see in the chart) are generally lower before ovulation, and raise a bit thanks to progesterone after. With my period, the expectation would be wild temps, and also for that temp to go below the horizontal red line (hinceforth known to you as the "coverline". But... it's not doing that. There's the drop a few days ago, but since then a steady rise that is... piculiar to say the least.

Still having cramping/discomfort, and more bleeding than spotting.... so I really have no idea what is up.

Is that good or bad? I never did pregnancy tests before, beside that week, and the drug shop had only digital ones, so I dont know if your pic is good or bad? I hope its a good pic.

It's.... Interesting. Strictly speaking, you are not supposed to look at a test after the time limit. Also strictly speaking, evaporation lines should not turn pink. Basically, it should only turn pink if there is HCG... So...

I took another 2tests today and both seem to be lightly positive. Of more interesting news than very faint tests though, is the fact that I'm on day 2 of bleeding- my heaviest day- and I am barely bleeding at all. Also, temp chart remains steadily increasing. So no blatantly obvious test, but I do think we managed to conceive also- I just feel fantastic! Which would be odd in deed for my period.

Got my Positive Test!

Congrats. I am really happy for you.

Sadly I had less luck. Sunday in the morning I got bleedings that got more during day. Rested down and ate Kalium, which is supposed to support the organ to keep the placenta, but today in the morning, when I was at the doctor, it was already gone according to "Sonar". (Again I dont know the right word, but I think you will know what I mean.) Pregnancy hormones, are as well already reducing.

According to doctor, its not that bad, so I was pregnant at "first shot", so my partner and I dont seem to have major fertility issues and it was now between 5th and 6th week (it is officially measured from the last period, so in real it was now between third week) and thats when the docking of placenta is done, and the little cellpart should start to have the little "belly-link". Around that time body does normally a little check, and if whyever something doesnt seem to be ok (chromosomes not built right, placenta not correct, "tummy-link" connection to fetus/embryo not correct, no "heart"-beat starting for organism or slitting of cells inside the little bubble didnt start...) the body does an emergency break. I had no aches as well, which seems to be an additional symptom, that the body "decided" on its own to end the pregnancy and was not "forced" to do so.

I am sad about it, but at least it went as "well" as it could, and I dont need to go additional to hospital or wait 2-3 months... So after the next propper menstruation, when the "skin" of the organ upper the vagina will be rebuilt again as usual after menstruation, my partner and I can try again.

I am sad right now, but we both seem to be normal fertile, and right now it was for me more a part of cells that could have become a baby, but no real baby right now. Still sad, but partner and I will try to do some nice stuff that week, so that we are more happy again to have a good start for our next chances.

But I am totally happy for you, because you wrote, that you already waited for a year. So I am pressing thumbs for you as hard as I can.

Schneekugel: Well I'm glad you didn't need a D&C or anything like that. Scares me though, because I'm not yet at 5 weeks, and I wish if my body was going to do some type of "scan" to make sure all is well it'd hurry it up.

So I've had no more bleeding since the 31st. But I also haven't gotten a solid positive yet. Maybe a few faints. Digi showed "Not pregnant" this morning. So that sucked. But my tempertures are all still high (21dpo) and in fact I've read in Taking Control of Your Fertility that having 18+ temps above the coverline is confirmative of pregnancy. So there's that.

I feel completely nauseous, and can only eat fruits, so that's fun. I feel good, but I'm really scared. I'm hoping all is well and all, but I'm so scared to lose this little one. I didn't feel like this with my miscarriage... so that is reassuring. But everyone is tellling me to quit thinking I'm pregnant as the tests don't show and I'm just delaying my period. I don't really understand that, because before I thought I was pregnant and had the implantation bleeding, I thought I was out. :-/. I do feel like I'm constnatly leaking, but nothing when I check. so that seems to be a good sign too according to a previously-been-pregnant friend.

*sighs* just waiting I guess... Hopefully I get that positive soon...

You mentioned, that you had some hormon instability: Maybe this causes the tests to show a negative result? If you can afford, you could do a little test at a gyn, their tests are more specialised then the ones from drug shop. If your eating habbits have changed, it could be a good sign, I normally eat tons of fruits and diary products, but the last week I wanted to eat stuff like lenses, beans, "sauerkraut", cabbage, usw... all the time. Not to forget "Bratwurst" (A local pansausage.) And that I was so tired all day, seemed as well less have been because of the missing caffeine, because I still dont drink it, but feel again much more awake. And I was pretty "weird" during the last three weeks, forget to pay some bills, lost my moneybag (Luckily a nice person found it...additional I have a very obvious childrens purse, so tracking it, is pretty easy. ^^) and so on.

Dont feel scared because of me. Partner and I simply had bad luck and according to statistics 80% of the pregnancy endings during my time, are because of defects. So better now, then later. Things are as they are, and if "feeling scared" dont give you a benefit in an situation, then there is no use to feeling scared, because of it only misadvanting you instead. Focus instead on some nice things you can do right now to feel more happy and relaxed. Best thing to do. If your brain tries to get you into a "bad thoughts whirl", then you must force it to get busy with other positive stuff, by meeting friends as example.

A wise man once said:

Schneekugel: Scared because the stats that I've read do not put me in the "majority." If I had implantation when I think I did, and all evidence suggests so, then that was 13-14dpo. They say late implantation (after 10dpo) has a higher miscarriage rate in general. If for no other reason than the placenta just isn't ready to take over when it's time to. I suppose that's helpful though, if I get past this week and the next that puts me past the 80%. *crosses fingers*

I have been monitoring HCG levels with ovulation tests. It's not 100% accurate, but it gives me a decent idea of what's going on. According to those I should get my positive in a few days time. 5 Weeks today though! So that's exciting.
