LT TTC after Miscarriage or Loss #10

[Sunbeam]

Hi girls

Saffy - I'm sorry you have been feeling down sweetie, it is such an exhausting and emotional time of year I think it is a great idea to take a few weeks off. I found IVF the hardest part of all of this so I think preparing physically and mentally is really important. I hope we will still be TWW buddies too with the perfect outcome.

Mich - When is your IUI? Good luck

Minnie - Sending good vibes for your I hope your poor little ovary is feeling better.

Tasha - Feb will be 4 years of TTC for me, doesn't bear thinking about! Not sure what I would have changed I just hope the journey is worth it in the end. I saw a lady on 'One Born Every Minute' last week she'd been trying for 4 years with failed IVFs etc then with IVF she got pg and had triplets.

Joeve - I hope your TWW flies by and you start our New Year run of BFPs.

AFM - Well AF did arrive but it is nearly over so maybe 36-48 hours. It was still not normal, it was at least red this month but still no flow (TMI *alert* more like red CM all slippery and still no clots). How can I bleed with no lining shedding? I'm bemused. I will see FS on the 10th hopefully and see what he says. If he can give me something for a proper period then I'll take that and not try till IUI in Feb if he can't then I guess we've got nothing to lose! I just wish I understood what was going on, how my cycle can now be so spot on and regular and my period is now so different! On a positive note I've lost 1.3kg in my first 2 diet days

Saffy – I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling depressed. Thinking of you A few weeks off to focus on you will hopefully put you in a really good place for your next cycle.

I was feeling the same way around Christmas. I kind of feel that we have the right to get really down sometimes. I try not to fight it – but the last time it really dragged on. I know many of you have been TTC longer than me – do you find anything helps to pull yourself out of a slump or do you just have to wait it out?

Sunbeam – Yes, your period sounds very bemusing! Hopefully the FS has some answers. Also, that's fantastic about the weight loss. I’ve been too scared to weigh myself since July!

Tasha – Can you imagine how many sticks we must have peed on in total? Hopefully this ebay order will be your last.

AFM – I had my IUI this arvo (Thurs) – it went so much more smoothly than the first one and my partner had an impressive sperm count this time. I'll be spending the next 2wks trying to maintain the right balance of cautious optimism! Joeve and Minnie –If you two would like to lead the way with the BFPs, I’ll gladly follow!

Good luck Mich and others in tww

hi girls,

saffy: hun it is such tough going & this time of year doesn't help im sure

sunbeam: hopefully you will get some answers from your fs

tasha: to you also

joeve: how is the 2ww going ?


i am glad this year is nearly at an end & i know others here feel the same, i won't tell you all that next year will be our year (although i hope it is !) because by the very nature of this being the long term ttc thread we have thought that in previous years so im going to give everyone a big and will quietly keep my fingers crossed there are better times ahead for us all

Hi,
Just popping in to say Happy New Year (nearly) to you all
You're right Minnie, who knows what 2012 will bring. If only we had a crystal ball - would save a lot of stress!
Whatever 2012 brings, I feel really grateful that I've found this forum of amazing, strong women to share it with Ugh, getting teary!
Good luck to everyone for 2012.

Hi Lovelies,

I know the odds are we will not all have sticky BFPs by this time next year but the odds are also that some of us will and that is enough to put a smile on my face, that even if I'm not one of them, that some of the loveliest, strongest and, in my opinion, most deserving women will have the joy they have been waiting so long for. I couldn't have got this far without you all.

So Bring on 2012 and bring on the BFPs
Happy New Year XXX

Happy New Year everyone!
Lets hope 2012 brings us what we want
