Younger couples chat - October 2008

Hey all - Hope your all doing well.. Lil update, not much! LOL! Only 17 more days until my transfer date at work and I'm looking forward to it! Woohoo! AF has almost left the building, the first three days were very painful, but that means (to me) that it's going to be a good cycle.. And I might be UTD by the end of the TWW... Hopefully... We won't have any chance by the time we have to move back into DFs parents place, but oh well!
What was the Christmas card idea? I love it and will love to send out so many this year! :D Lemme know if you want one from me :)

Hey everyone!

hope everybody is well and bubs are giving yas some sleep.

Cooper is doing well, still having BF issues but we are slowly getting there - he is still young.
He is trying to roll over... nearly has it done! also all he does is talks and smiles!! so gorgeous!
I cant wait till he starts giggling... when hes trying to talk to me i cant help but laugh... he really gets into it and smiles when i laugh..


Joel & i are really getting excited about his first xmas. we think he will be sitting up by then... he has had so much neck control since 3 weeks old!!!

Cooper weighed 6.4kg at his 7week check! he is now 8w 4d! im scared to think wat he weighs now!

looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

ok kirra, its been three days and no word!!! anything yet!?!?!?

banx- good to hear everything is going well with cooper. sounds like he is doing very well! is he sleeping through the night? how often is he breastfeeding? he is such a cutie!

Hi i am wondering if anyone in here as been trying to concieve for a long time? My DP and I are both 21 and professionals and been trying for 2 years with one miscarriage 7 months ago and will be starting ivf next year. I am very desperate to find somone our age having to go through all this. All you lucky pregnant ladies have no idea how envious I am of you!

hey, im sorry i havent been in that position but am so sorry it has been so hard for you. ill be praying that it can only get easier and that it happens very soon for you.
please stay around, if you dont mind me asking, whats a blighted ovum?
hope to hear from you some more.

Hi there - Hollye has just given birth to a beautiful little girl after 2 years of TTC.
She has PCOS and conceived on her first cycle of Clomid, so the story is a little different, but she may be able to offer you some support.
Once you have 25 posts you will be able to PM and she will be able to PM you and so on.

LizJessies has been TTC for a while as well but not sure how long, and I think BrendansMum was TTC Brendan for 18 months (from memory).

You will find BB to be a great source of support. Feel freee to post in the LTTTC threads as regardless of age the women are all so supportive.

Big hugs to you, praying your IVF journey is a short.

M2M, a blighted ovum is fertilisation and implantation that indicates pregnancy but the embryo fails to develop (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong 21&TTC).

hi girls you responded quickly! yeah I have been on the LTTTC assisted conception thread for a few months now just was having a look around. I will be staying around here it just breaks my heart to see all your babies due dates and potos under your posts and mines empty :( Also a blighted ovum is when you go to your ultrasound and see no baby at all just a sack growing as the cells were deformed and didnt continue to grow into an embryo. The worst thing to happen to anyone in my opionion. I didnt find out until almost 13 weeks.

Oh :(
Your time will come sweetie.
I know it's not as easy as that but it will come, and you will have a beautiful baby one day. And it will be so much more precious because of what you have been through to get it.

I just realised you have the required posts, silly me for not looking.

Big :hug:

Sorry I haven't been in for a while guys.

How is everyone?

21&TTC, Welcome! It took me 18 months to concieve Brendan, although we also were not actively trying, just not preventing either. I wish you all the very best for your IVF journey *hugs*

LJ, all the best darl, I really hope this is your month.

Banx, I'm really glad things with cooper are going well!

Kirra and Trini, have you babies already will you! lol.... hope it happens soon guys!

Cookiemonster you were right LOL, 18 months :)

We are on our 2nd journey now.... If I get AF (due in 1-2 days) It will be cycle #4 for us.

21&TTC, I am so very sorry for your loss *hugs* Any loss is hard *hugs*

Hi brendans mum! Yeah my partner and I werent actively trying for 14 months but finally fell pregnant and then lost it, it is now my 7th cycle since my D and C (emergency scraping of the uterus as the body wont expel the miscarriage itself) and i really want to be pregnant as my period is due on the day my baby was supposed to be due and ALSO the due date of this one if i was pregnant would be me and my partners 3 year anniversary oh how i wish this would work! I also see you have had some losses, was this after the birth of your son or before? if u dont mind me asking.

Hi all, been a busy thread today.

I'm still here, nothings happening, i think shes just a lil too comfy to come out, i ate hot bandito's (spicy wedges) for lunch and went for a long walk, on friday i started to lose what i've been told is most likely my plug but there is no bloody tinge to it (sorry if thats TMI). She's def a girl..... being fashionably late and all. lol

21andTTC#1- welcome, sorry to hear of your loss, best wishes and lots of :bluedust: coming your way. I really hope it all works out for you. Look forward to chatting with you more. Where bouts are you from... if you don't mind me asking..

LJ- Your wedding is getting so close, you must be getting really excited, i can't wait to see pics of you wedding, im sure your gonna look stunning.

Bianca- Great to hear cooper is doing so well, i can't wait to see him at the next meet, photo's just aren't the same :)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwah! to you all!

hi everyone,
my name is blayne and im 23, my partner and i have been together for 6 years now and we have a 3 yr old son and one on the way, im due 3rd july and i can not wait, i have had 4 m/c this year but this little one is all good and feels different.
i had my first scan on thurs, they coulod see a sac but not bub just yet, im a little worried but the same thing happened with my son so im staying positive,
hope everyone is well and enjoying being pregnant , to me its the best thing:lol:

:dance::dance:
stick baby stick:pray::pray:

CRAP, double post, sorry guys.

21andTTC, 2 of my m/c were before Brendan one after. My last one was last nov (19th) which I had a D&C for, that was at 17weeks. We weren't actually trying when we fell pg last time, I can't believe how quick it happened, especially how I had only just stopped expressing milk for Brendan and we had been using protection all but once. It's funny how your body works... I really do hope it happens for you this time *hugs*

Kirra, can't believe you are STILL here, lol. When are you booked in for induction??

Blayne, hello and welcome!! I'm Sally 21, mum to Brendan, almost 21 months (he's 18 months corrected) I'm so sorry for your losses, all the best for this one, congrats and I hope it's sticky for you *hugs*

Welcome 21and ttc, nice too meet you & i look forward to getting to know you more :) ..sorry for your loss *hugs*

Hollye - welcome back..long time no speak..hope bubs is well

Blayne - welcome & very nice to meet you! Im Petrina 21 have a DF who i am gettin married to Oct 09 & i cant wait..we have a little bub die yesterday but i am still waiting!

Ash - whats happening?

Sal - hope you had a good weekend hun :) i added you too soo many facebook apps :p

Not much happening here..i am still hanging around waiting for bubs to make the grand entrance but i dont have a feeling anything will happen soon! but thats cool i am enjoying being able to do whatever hehehe
we found out my doggie is pregnant & due next week (i sooo better have mine first :p)

Thanks Trini!!!! I hope you have bubba before your dog does! Have you got someone who can watch the dog just in case you both labour at the same time? I wouldn't want something to happen to your beautiful dog!

Oh Trini I would be spewing if the dog pops before you do!! I would be arranging a dog sitter too!!

Blayne - Hi, Welcome to BB. I think we are the next wave of due togethers, the last lot are all popping now!

21andTTC#1 - Hi! You are not the only young LTTTCer. I have not had issues, but my sister was trying for a year and was about to go and get a referral to see a FS when she got her :bfp: My neice is 7.5 months old now. Her journey made me decide that I would like to donate my eggs to a couple stuggling with infertility after this bub has finished BFing. I wont have any use for them after this bub, so I would like to give someone else the gift of life.

Kirra - Hang in there, she will come when she is ready. Apparently there is an accupressure point about 3 finger widths up from the inside of your ankle, just behind the bone. Give it a good hard press. It is supposed to ripen the cervix.

thanks girls..i will be spewing if she goes first :p we dont need to dog sitter as we had to leave our doggies at the IL's when we moved as the house we are renting doesnt have a backyard & we needed a house asap! but we visit them regularly :)

Not much new here, i had a bad night last night with lots of pain in the belly & now i have sharp pains/pressure down there atm which is uncomfy

Nice to here from you again Ali :) hope the pregnancy is going well

Still here.... DP is getting really frustrated, says he sick of waiting, shes supposed to be out already, it doesn't feel right going to work when she was due a week ago, hes taking the day off tomorrow though to take me to the hosp for my app.

YAY on your dog being pregaz Trini, thats so cool, you'll both have a babie/s at the same time. hehe. Hope your pains progress into labour. :)

Allioops, thats so nice of you to do something like that. I'll def try that pressure point, will go google it and find out exactly where it is.

Hollye- How's lil Mia doing??? How are you feeling, recovering well???

I'm off to hang my washing out and vacume.

Chat Later

KiRRa

Is your appointment for an induction Kirra? Been a while since i've posted but really not had much to say, nothing too exciting is happening (which is a good thing!!) Not too long for me to go now, getting a bit nervous but just cannot wait!

I havent really had any funny pains, - just when im walking i sometimes get a sharp pain in my youknowwhat but it goes if i walk slower, someone said they reckon its the head hitting my pelvis as thats the way the baby has been lying the last few times ive been to see the dotor!

Hi all,
havent been around much lately, and im sick of doctors and there assumptions, first she said about 2 weeks ago that she thought from my blood test i was about 14 weeks which would make me 16 weeks this week, now at my last appointment last thursday she reckons im only just 12/13, im ready to scream and they wont do a scan till 16 weeks thats when they are doing my dating scan which means if they were right the first time i will be 20 weeks, sorry to vent but they are annoying me
Sarah
P.S Welcome to the new people

OMG IT IS SOOOOO BUSY IN HERE TODAY!!!!!
sorry felt like yelling haha, welcome to Blayne aswell.
we had billy's brother and his gf move in yesterday for a few months, they needed somewhere to stay and we needed help around hte house and more money so they are paying board and stuff too so it helps us.
not sure how i feel about it, they are hogging the foxtel but are also really tidy and offer to help with every thing so i cant really complain about having to watch his stupid cartoons. lol
well i cant be bothered replying to posts from everyone lol, maddie woke at 6.30 this morning so im really tired. but i hope everyone is really well, pregnant girls, pop soon, girls trying to fall pregnant, hope it happens soon and girls who are happy being mums, well.... stay happy. lol
speak to you all soon, xx

The app tomorrow is just an overdue checkup, we'll talk and book the induction tomorrow. It will most likely be sunday/monday that they induce me if i havent had her already. Fingers crossed i do.

Amy- i hate living with other ppl, travs sister was a PIG, we are happy and content living just us. But the extra money does help esp when your saving for a holiday in Bali. lol

Sarah- perhaps you could try a dif doc, i had a dating scan with alyssa, what if you wanted the Down Syndrome tests done???? def don't let them get away with it, there is obvisouly conflicting info so they should have had you in for a scan already. Thats my opinion anyway. GL

Generally she is a great doctor, and they did give me the option of having the scan for down syndrome but she said that medicare wouldnt cover it so it would be out of pocket expense, but i thought 12 week scans were routine, but according to her they arent. im just so confused i dont know what to think

A 12 wk scan isn't routine it's optional to check for down syndrome. With my DD#1 i had a scan at 5wks to confirm dates and then again at 18wks for the routine checkup.
Maybe say to her you are seriously considering having the 12wk u/s to test for d-s and you need to know your dates for that. I think its pretty bad she hasnt given u a dating scan yet considering your dates are so conflicting etc.

wow u girls talk alot... :)

Kirra - Mia is doing great and im recovering well. I only get a little sharp pain in the c/section site every now and then but nothing to complain about. Mia has her 2 week check tomorrow which she will nearly be 3 weeks but thats ok. She did have a check last week aswell but this is the big check where they check her eyesight, hearing, weight, hc and all that.. Oh i so hope she has put on weight. *labour vibes*

Thats good to hear, have you posted a birth story yet??? i should go look but im a lil lazy. lol.
I'm sure she's growing nicely, are you gonna come to the meet-up in dec for young couples??? Bianca and Trini are coming.

Hollye, glad to hear Mia is doing well.

Kirra, all the best for tomorrow.

Princesswalkee, RE scans, I didn't have to pay for any of mine and I had LOTS. If I were you I'd be going to another dr, just to get that dating scan done!

I think Brendan is sick again :( It's never ending I tell you :(

i will def be at the meet :) i cant wait to finally put some names to faces :D

Sal 0 sorry to hear that Brendan is sick again..*sending hugs your way*

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1508001

Congratulations to Kirra!!! Welcome to the world little Charli, glad she finally made her enterance! Now It's Trini's turn!!

Brendan is much better today, thinking it was a 24hr bug.

CONGRATS KIRRA :D

im glad one of us finally had our little bub! i cant wait to see some pics of little Charli

Sending love & hugs

Now lets bring on the labour for me :p hehe

Congrats Kirra!!!

Trini - Try that accupressure point!!

Sally - Glad to hear that Brendan is OK. I hate having sick kids.

AFM - I am having trouble sleeping because I feel so stretched by the end of the day. Having to have panadol coz it hurts too much :(

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations kirra!!!!

i was hoping i would come online today and find that excellent news! hope it happens for you soon trini! so exciting. im sooo clucky!

glad to hear brendan wasnt so sick Sal.

hope your all well. xx

Hey Girls!

Kirra - Congratulations on your baby girl! Im sure You and Trav are very proud parents and Alyssa is a proud big sister... cant wait to see pictures of gorgeous Charli!

So glad you didnt have to be induced... It wasnt nice.. but it was necessary for me.. im just glad it was all over :)

Trini- It will happen soon sweetie! I hope it goes very smoothly for you. Make sure u let me know :)


Welcome to all the new people! Hoping to see you all at the december meet!

talk soon..

xox

wooohoooo congrats Kirra! im so happy for u! Welcome Charli!

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, we are both doing really well. Completely drug free labour so im extremely proud of myself.
Got to come home yesterday, Charli is thriving, feeding very very well and slept most of the night. Thank god. lol
Will post some pics in my gallery and write up the birth story in the next couple of days.

P.s she weighs the exact same as alyssa did when she was born, not even 1g dif, the same midwife also delivered her and said in her whole 15yrs as a midwife she has never come across two siblings who weighed the exact same. hehe. my special girls. lol

Cant wait to see pics Kirra :)

well i got a letter from my GP today (i was doing shared care for a while) & he asked me to go see him for a routine 40 week check up..on the info he sent me it says that he has my due date marked as the 15th Nov but at the midwife clinic i go to they have it as the 8th! so i dont know what is happening but i think if we go by my GP's dates it makes more sense as i have a lower chance of needing to be induced :p hehehe

Im not sure why they have different dates as they both have the same info & test results but oh well i dont mind as its only a weeks difference so i dont mind :D

nothing new happening here at all..just the same old thing
