The Official TTC for 6 Months or More Thread

[fisherofmengirly]

Indecisive,

Fortil B-12 is made by Standard Process; my chiropractor suggested it in combination with Ovex (also from Standard process), to help my hormones level out and assist with ovulating earlier in my cycle. Both supplements are natural and I experienced no side effects. Started taking them in May and in the first cycle following, my O day moved forward, and each cycle following. Talk to a health store specialist and they can give better advice. I really think the tea made a *huge* difference, though. Ovulating earlier doesn't mean much if yyour mucus isn't efficient.

Best wishes to you on the journey.

Thanks for the encouraging words on the betas, more results Monday (and hopefully a better estimate for due date)!

Please pray for our baby, everyone. Dr just called. I went from 491 on Weds to 707 on Friday, not the jump they wanted to see. I go back today for another draw. She said an increase is good, and today should be better. Please pray.

 

[monkeyprincess]

Oh Fisher, I'm so sorry for this uncertainty. My prayers are headed your way this very minute. Stick baby, stick!

 

[Skippy123]

Praying the number keep going up; lots of prayers.

 

[Blenheim]

Fishie, I'm praying for you guys. Are you familar with the BetaBase? (Betabase.info) EB told me about it when we had some uncertainty about my betas when I was newly pregnant with Edward. There's a wide range of numbers that have led to successful pregnancies, and increasing is definitely good! I'm sending hugs and dust your way.

ETA- And another big congratulations.

 

[Dreamer_D]

As I have posted here before, I am not overly fod of this type ofearly monitoring because it seems to breed so much uneccesary worry! I am remaining faithful that is the case here, too. C'mon beta of 2000 today!

 

[Puppmom]

Fisher, sending lots of sticky baby dust your way! My doc doesn't do blood draws but, from my TTC days, I remember reading lots of positive *slow rising* HCG stories.

 

[dcgator]

Fisher - I am praying for you, Paul and the little bean. Truckloads of sticky dust your way sweetie. Please do keep us updated when you can.

Thanks so much, Lisa. It's been a rough go lately. Thank you for your prayers. I'll take all I can get!

Fisher, I just had an IUI that resulted in a pregnancy, then blighted ovum & miscarriage (I just had a D&C on Friday at 8 weeks). My beta numbers were low (lower than yours) but did double every 41 hours. However, I had very few pregnancy symptoms (no morning sickness except for 1 day). So I'm very encouraged by your symptoms. I've heard lots of women with betas on the lower side go on to have successful pregnancies & healthy little ones. Keep us posted on your next result. Will you have an ultrasound soon?
I'll keep you in my prayers.

 

[sugarpie honeybun]

Fisher - hoping and praying for good news. I have followed your journey since 2008 and was always so impressed and moved by your strength and grace in spite of dealing with your TTC struggle. Hoping for a positive outcome.

Sending prayers, and more prayers.. Hoping the extra sticky dust helps too.

 

[Kaleigh]

Brightspot, sending lots of prayers your way. I will be keeping track of you. xo

 

[monkeyprincess]

Fisher, just wanted you to know that I'm still sending prayers for you and your baby that everything turns out fine with your betas. I also got my first BFP last week, and I'm going through some beta uncertainty right now too (my issue is low-ish betas). It's rough, but we just have to trust that what is meant to be will be. Thinking of you!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Update from Fisher, she can't get on PS from her phone:

Spoke to the nurse today. 1934!!!! She said this is wonderful and it's good news and there's no need to be concerned at all. Praise God! Thanks for all the thoughts & prayers. Yesterday was *hard.* I don't think we realized just how much we already love our baby. I'm so thankful to know there's a support system here and I pray that I can be as supportive as PS has been to me & Paul & baby this past week. Thank you doesn't cover it.

I'm crying happy tears. I am so thankful for this miracle thriving within me.

I pray good things for all here. You're wonderful women.

 

[JGator]

Yeah, Fisher!!!! I will continue to pray for your sticky bean!

And, MP too! I wish you both a happy and healthy 9 months.

 

[Puppmom]

Dreamer, thanks for the Fisher update! I've been checking all morning.

Fisher!!!!!! My heart is so happy for you...really really just plain happy.

 

[monkeyprincess]

Oh Fisher, amazing news. So glad your worrying was for naught. I hope the good news just keeps coming with this miracle pregnancy!

 

[Clairitek]

Wonderful news that your beta is rising FOMG!

 

[Sha]

Yayyyyyyyy!!!

 

[NewEnglandLady]

So exciting!!! I'm SOOO happy!! Thank you, Dreamer, for updating us!

[dcgator]

Fisher - YIPEEE! I am so relieved to hear that all is well with you and the little peanut. I can't imagine how good you must feel knowing that all is well with your LO. Take care mama and I look forward to hearing all about your pregnancy!

MP - I am sending you truckloads of sticky dust as well. Please keep us updated.

 

[S&I]

Dreamer - thanks for posting Fisher's update!

Fisher - your post made me tear up again! I'm such a sap these days, but I'm so happy that your HCG level is so high! That is definitely one sticky bean you've got there, and you'll be able to see him/her soon! Continued prayers to you, Paul, and the little bean.

MP - so sorry about the lab results from your first beta, but glad to hear that all your BFPs are no longer a mystery and that you are indeed pregnant. Are you still peeing on things until Friday? Can't wait for your update.
