Dana's TTC thread, in order to save space

From what I can tell...and with Ferility Friend's help...it appears that I ovulated about 3 days ago. I wish there was something I could do to not even think about it. I would love to be one of those people who just happen to notice that they're 2 weeks late for their period, and BOOM...PREGNANT. Why can't I do that?
As I said (or at least I think I did), I'm taking baby aspirin. If there has been a problem with the uterine lining, it helps to make it healthy. It does something else too, but I forget what. I have read about several women who have had the same things happen to them, and they took one baby aspirin each day until they conceived....and it worked. I'm praying for that. Also praying to be okay if it doesn't happen this time. It's terrible to get your period when you want it so bad, but I'm trying to prepare myself.

ooh, don't hate me for this...

have you thought about just taking a break for a few months? your body has been through a lot of stress the past few months and maybe it would be good to let it recuperate a little? You have also been through a ton of emotional stress, and that isn't good for your body either.

Maybe you could find a good OB that will work with you to figure out that is going on, and watch you closely? I think you have enough history with problems to warrant that.
I know, not what you want to hear, but I just wanted to throw it out there...

Thanks, Tara

Although I want you to be happy and get your baby. I also agree a little with Tara.

Though your happiness is very important, so is your health, and with your ED I think you need to conquer a lot of those feelings first, because that was one of the hard parts with me when I got PG with Isabella, I had a VERY hard time with gaining so much weight and getting big. So I think you should talk with someone about these things as well, to make your pregnancy very enjoyable

That is so true. I get upset every month when mine starts. I pray that everything will work out for you.

Thank you
And thanks to everyone for your input...I appreciate and know that you offer it out of genuine concern.

How are you going to update us on whether or not AF comes if you are gone for a week!?

I don't think it will be time for her yet. I think i will make it back in time.

I could be pregnant now...this is the 23rd day of my cycle, and I tested positive on the 24th day last time. I guess we'll see. Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to go out and buy a test to take tomorrow. Actually, the idea of a pregnancy test makes my stomach hurt.

I hope I'm not too blunt, but where are you with your ED? Is there a chance that it's related to not getting proper nutrition or enough calories?

I hope I wasn't out of line, and you don't have to answer, I'm just thinking along the lines of Tara and Jessica....you have to take care of yourself before in order to have a healthy pg.

hey dana! how are you doing? keep your chin up, and know that you are thought of often.

I kwym, when I got pg with Allie after my m/c, I didn't test until the day AF was due, which is really holding out for me. Usually I test way too early if I think there's a possibility I could be pregnant. KUP!

I'm definitely not testing for a while, if at all.
I'm not anorexic. I'm not bulimic. I know I have been unclear about the ED. I have EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). I don't purge enough to be bulimic, and I don't starve myself often enough to be anorexic. I fall in the middle and right now I'm just struggling with eating every freaking thing in sight. I definitely get enough calories. I do cycle between the 2 sides, if that makes sense. I appreciate the concern and the questions...

I know I haven't posted in this thread before but I wanted to give you hugs cause to be able to get out of bed after two mc's is strength. For me I think I would be bedridden for a month or so after a mc. Kudos to you for getting up and looking at each day as a new opportunity.

And I have to agree with Tara a bit. I was thinking that you should not 'try' to get pg for a while. Cycle two or three times. Go to the spa, focus on you, work on your ED and think more positively about yourself. Go on dates with your hubby (cause when you get pg dates are put aside)(and yes i believe you will get pg someday), be romantic, be physical, find a new thing to love about eachother, and focus on healing. I'm sure if you relax your heart and mind you may just find yourself being one of those who just discover your pg

Whatever happens, keep the faith and stay strong

Thank you, and I understand what youre saying.
As far as getting out of bed every morning....I don't know...I guess you could say I've kinda had to do it since I was little. I just just do it automatically. I don't feel like it a lot of the time. I wish I was strong enough to tell my husband that I need to take time off work, but I guess I'm not. I mentioned it once and he looked like he didn't understand (Imagine somebody not understanding!! ). Ahhhh, anyway, I'm off to work. Thanks for the input ladies...I do appreciate it.

I bought 2 pregnancy tests today. I don't know when/if I will take one.

Well, there might be no need. I feel like I'm gonna start. I'm early, but miscarriages have a way of throwing your cycle off, huh? BUT, my temp is still high, so I guess I'm not starting today at least.

If you do start, don't get discurraged...just think of it as your body cleaning it's self out after all it has been through. Keep taking your mucinex and baby asprin...that seems to be doing good for you!!

Thinking of you everyday!!!
