Mummy2chloe, thanks for the invite to stick around... hope it's okay with everyone else.

I emailed my former private sperm donor to let him know I had finally had success with IVF and he was over the moon for me. It was really nice to know that he could share my happiness even though he wasn't part of my success. He said that he would like to stay in touch to hear how the pregnancy progresses.

Today I got a little bit of morning sickness for the first time. I was suprised because I only started getting it around the 10 week mark when I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm only 6 and a half weeks now.

My parents are currently overseas and I sent them an email today and commented on the morning sickness. My mum wrote back and said - well just think how much money you have spent just so you can get those sick feelings!!! LOL

Heart beat scan next Thursday which I am really looking forward to (hopefully it will be reassuring).

Hi Lovely Ladies

Dreamrise ~ so nice to hear stories like yours :-) All the best with the rest of your pregnancy, will be thinking of you.

Possums ~ thank you very much. All the best with the rest of your pregnancy too and will be thinking of you.

Mummy2chloe ~ good to hear from you, all the best with the weight loss

JBM ~ again goodluck hun, FX'd for you!

Hi to everyone else and hope you're all well :grouphug:

AFM ~ Still waiting to be able to test - I think I have about 8days until AF would be due. Still had constipation type pain and problems - hoping its all good things. Also my nipples are quite sore. I guess there isnt a lot of difference though from previous cycles that have all ended in BFN. Can only hope though that this month we get a miracle!

Hi girls,
Just thought I'd pop in to wish you all luck with your current cycles. Reading back over the posts I realised that I haven't posted since before my threatened miscarriage. I lost 2 cups of blood at 7.5 weeks of pregnancy and was told I had definately lost the bub. Luckily a scan the next day showed it was still hanging in there and I am now 17 weeks pregnant.

I have struggled a little with this pregnancy as it was so different to how I had planned for so long. I had always wanted to know the donor I used and keep in touch through the pregnancy (just the occassional email) but as I ended up having to go to IVF with anon clinic donor sperm it hasn't been possible. I have realised I am grieving for this loss as I had spent 2 years trying to find a suitable donor and then a year doing donor insemination so it was a huge investment of time for nothing as it turns out. At my first hospital midwife appointment the nurse asked me about the father and when I said it was an anon clinic donor she commented "So this baby will be a real surprise package". I felt that she said it in a judgemental way and it made me really upset because I thought - if only you knew how long and hard I have tried to make this not be the case. I really wanted to know about the donor. Anyway I am grateful I am pregnant and I have had some counselling to deal with the other issues.

Hopefully find out the gender in a few weeks. I will also be out of work in a couple of weeks which is scarey but I have negoiated with my parents to stop my repayments off my IVF loan until I get another job and I think with money from centrelink and my housemate I should just manage to get by (I have a huge mortgage so was worried I would end up losing my house but I think I will just scrape by).

Best wishes everyone.
Lori

Lori ~ so happy for you that your lil one is sticking, really wants to meet his/her wonderful mummy! Goodluck, FX'd tight :pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy:

Lori many congratulations and isnt every baby a real supprise? I knowmy DS was and is. everyone is so supprised he is a mini ME not DH! lol

Hi Lovely Ladies

Hope you are all well. :stickyvibesgirl::bluedust:

AF definitely arrived for me :( Giving up on trying naturally as we've tried everything we can that way. Think our only chance now is IVF or adoption etc. We are going to start looking into adoption now whilst we are still young.

:hug: Loops.
