So, DH and I haven't technically been TTC because we've been waiting on the ok from our doctor's to start trying again but we haven't really been preventing either. Plus I haven't gotten my first PPAF yet either. I recently started taking my temp again and there's a possibility that I O'd around Oct. 11th or 12th but I only started temping Oct. 9th so there isn't enough to really give me a baseline. Anyway, we went to the fetal and maternal specialist on Monday and she needs to do some bloodwork on me to see if I still have CMV (the virus that I contracted during pregnancy that was the cause of death to my son) and if I do, we need to wait until I don't have it anymore to TTC again to ensure safety to our next baby. Well, now I'm afraid that maybe I did O on the 12th and if I am pregnant and still have CMV that I have hurt my next baby. But, if the test results come back that I do still have CMV and I need to wait a long time before TTC I am going to be really discouraged.
Thanks for listening to my vent. I hope it made sense.
Oh, and here is my chart so far. The three days that I discarded are because I didn't get 3 consecutive hours of sleep before taking my temp.

HUGS... I can understand your fears... If you have concieved, I think I remember reading about the CMV... and it is NOT always a fetal demise correct? While yes If I remember the numbers are high... along with congenital and mental delays.. Thier is a chance of a healthy pregnancy... With this being said.. I can see your fears... So now matter what we will be here for you. If you are still infected we will be here to get you through the wait! HUGS

Looking at your chart it's really hard to tell if you O'd or not. You could have, but I would really try not to worry about that if you can. (Easier said than done.) I hope the tests all go well for you and you can ttc right away. Please KUP and (((hugs))) I can imagine you are just really stressed right now.

Ok, I tested this morning to try to ease my nerves and this is what I got.

I have one more of these tests that I will take tomorrow and if it's positive I will go get a FRER. Please pray hard that I don't have CMV anymore. I am freaking out a little (ok, a lot).
I got my blood drawn today and I should have the results in a week or two as to whether I still have CMV or not.
